Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 290 Meet Again

When Bai Jingzhu sees Dong Nianshuang start crying, she asks with some uncertainty. “Do you really dislike Hua Yan?”

“How can I?” Dong Nianshuang wipes her eyes. “I... I have been into someone.”

“Who is he?” Bai Jingzhu is surprised.

Dong Nianshuang covers her face shyly. “Oh, don’t ask. I will say it when I can. Anyway, I don’t like Hua Yan. Didn’t you read the online reports before? His current gossip girlfriend seems to be a talented woman of a literary family.”

“I know.” Bai Jingzhu scolds. “She is not good-looking. How can she deserve to match Hua Yan? I will definitely not let that woman succeed.”

Dong Nianshuang hides the sarcasm in her eyes. “You’d better not do anything. Or your family will send you abroad again.”

“It’s very kind of you, Nianshuang!” Bai Jingzhu curls her lips. “You are not like my families, who give me a lesson every day. And my second brother! I hate him most.”

Dong Nianshuang smiles. “All right, all right. Don’t think about those unhappy things. Let’s order something to eat!”

When Bai Jingzhu comes home, she hears her mother and Bai Yuanfei talking about Tang Ziyan’s matter and asks curiously.

“Isn’t the criminal who poured sulfuric acid on her caught?”

Bai Yuanfei glances at her. “Yes, we are just sighing with emotion. As a human being, you can’t do everything you want, or you won’t know when you’ll offend others.”

“Ziyan is too poor. I should go to visit her.”

Bai Yuanfei rolls his eyes. “You’d better not go. She won’t want to see you now.”

“Why?” Bai Jingzhu glares at him. “I didn’t hurt her. I have a good relationship with her at ordinary times. I want to see her.”

Having finished saying so, she runs upstairs to change clothes.

Her mother and her brother look at each other. Her mother lowers her voice. “Was that little girl of Tang Family really a victim?”

“I don’t know clearly, but my friend at the police station said that it wasn’t that simple. The prisoner took other people’s money, but it seems that his original target was not her.”

The mother takes a deep breath. “Who on earth is so cruel...”

“It has nothing to do with us.” Bai Yuanfei glances at his mother. “You mustn’t say these things in front of Jingzhu. She is so stupid that she will be in trouble if she goes out to talk nonsense.”

“Oh, I see.”

“And... Forget it.” Bai Yuanfei snorts. “I’ll tell her myself later.”

When Bai Jingzhu comes down, Bai Yuanfei sees her specially dress a beautiful skirt. Once again, he thinks that his sister is brainless.

“Tang Ziyan is disfigured now. Aren’t you dressing like this to stimulate her?” Even her mother can’t bear it any more, and reminds her. “Go and change into frugal clothes.”

“This is what I usually dress!” Bai Jingzhu doesn’t think that there is something wrong with her dress. “Ziyan saw me like that before. Don’t worry!”

Her mother still wants to say something, but she is stopped by Bai Yuanfei.

“Bai Jingzhu.” Bai Yuanfei looks at her with a serious expression. “Don’t say I didn’t remind you. Tang Ziyan has offended others because she is capricious at ordinary times. Mom doesn’t let you come back because she is afraid that you will get in trouble. Since you disobey and insist coming back, be honest.”

Bai Jingzhu curls her lips. “I didn’t do anything...”

“It will be late when you do it.” Bai Yuanfei says grumpily. “In short, I’ve told you. If you don’t want to end up like Tang Ziyan, you should be obedient.”

When she leaves, Bai Yuanfei says to their mother. “It is good for her to go and have a look. At least it will scare her.”

They don’t expect that Bai Jingzhu comes back crying. Her jewelry falls off and her hair is in a mess.

“What’s the matter with you? God!” Her mother thinks that she was raped and almost scares to death.

Bai Jingzhu cries and throws herself on the sofa. “It’s Tang... Tang Ziyan... Woo woo woo...”

She takes flowers to visit Tang Ziyan. But when Tang Ziyan sees her, Tang Ziyan jumps up to drag her skirt and scratches her hair like a lunatic. Tang Ziyan also scolds her that she has dressed to be so beautiful on purpose...

“You deserved it.” Bai Yuanfei snorts. “Mom and I warned you when you went there but you didn’t listen.”

Bai Jingzhu cries even more loudly. “Mom, did you hear what my brother said?”

“Oh! You blame her less.” Her mother checks her body to make sure that she isn’t hurt, and then feels relieved. Her mother also scolds, “Your brother is right. Who let you disobey?”

Bai Jingzhu washes her face and says with terror. “You don’t know what she looked like at that time. She was like crazy. It was too terrible!”

“If a girl is disfigured, it is inevitable that her temperament will change greatly.” Her mother stares at Bai Jingzhu. “Don’t go there any more in the future. Do you hear me?”

Bai Jingzhu nods. “Even she invites me to, I will not go.”

Yan Hua sees Tang Ziyan in the entertainment news half a month later. There are some high-definition photos on the Internet. She was in a wheelchair and went to the airport. However, she was surrounded by bodyguards and her face couldn’t be seen. People can only see that she wore a hat on her head and a mask on her face.

“You say, can her face be cured...”

Lang Ruoxian is blowing her hair. He pauses and squats down to look at her. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Yan Hua has complicated feelings. “I don’t sympathize with her, but I just pity that face.”

She certainly doesn’t sympathize with Tang Ziyan. If Lang Ruoxian hadn’t known in advance, it would have been herself who was disfigured.

“Now that science and technology are developed, it’s hard to say for sure whether her face can be cured.” Lang Ruoxian pats her on the hand, stands up and continues to blow her hair. “Although it is said that the face can be changed, the premise is that the face is good.”

Yan Hua also thinks it hard. “I estimate that I will not see her for a long time.”

“Isn’t that right?” Lang Ruoxian holds her up and kisses her. “At least we can have a good Spring Festival.”

They don’t need to go to the house of the first branch to visit relatives during the Spring Festival this year. He believes that the first branch members won’t come to their house either. How peaceful and quiet it will be!

During the National Day, Gungun’s school organizes an activity. The teachers take the children to have a three-day activity to contact nature.

“I don’t worry if Wuyou is with Gungun.” Yan Hua sends the two little children to the school bus. Lang Ruoxian isn’t busy today. The couple decide to have a good time of lovers. “Let’s go to the movie first, and then have dinner. We can also watch the night scene in the evening.”

Lang Ruoxian parks his car under the shopping mall and doesn’t forget to remind her. “I won’t watch any movie played by Fei Shan.”

“He hasn’t had a movie shown recently.” Yan Hua twitches the corners of the mouth.

Lang Ruoxian questions, “Oh? Is he outdated now?”

“Oh, one of his works just released a while ago! It is said that he is currently filming abroad.” Yan Hua finally chooses a foreign sci-fi blockbuster. Anyway, even if it isn’t a good movie, at least the special effects can still be enjoyed.

After watching the movie, it is getting dark. They go to the restaurant on the top floor of the shopping mall for dinner. As soon as they get out of the elevator, they see a man and a woman quarrelling. Yan Hua feels the woman quite familiar.

“Do you know her?” Seeing she has been secretly watching, Lang Ruoxian asks.

Yan Hua puckers her face. “I don’t know her, but I always feel that I saw her somewhere before.”

The two arrive at the restaurant and take their seats. There is a family of three opposite to them, and the baby who is just a few months old is lying in the stroller. Yan Hua suddenly lets out a cry. “I remember!”

Isn’t that the woman they met on the plane leaving South Island during last Spring Festival?

“She is the woman whose husband drowned and left her a large sum of insurance compensation!” Yan Hua says and frowns. “She looks as if she is not having a good time.”

Just at the door of the elevator, the woman wasn’t well-dressed, without makeup, with yellow and dry hair, which shows that she is not having a good time.

“It’s okay. It’s okay. Let’s order.” Yan Hua says and shrugs again. “Why bother with her!”

But when they leave after the meal, they see the woman again in the parking lot. She is still arguing with the man. Yan Hua wants to bypass them, but the woman sees her this time.

“Miss Tang!” The woman suddenly runs towards her.

Yan Hua gets a fright. Lang Ruoxian stops the woman. The woman says hastily, “Miss Tang, it’s really you!”

“You... What’s up?” Yan Hua leans her head out of Lang Ruoxian’s arms and asks.

Wang Rong stares and points to herself. “Do you still remember me? On the plane? Later in the beauty salon. I... I warned you!”

“She warned you?” Lang Ruoxian narrows his eyes.

“No, no, no!” Wang Rong hurriedly waves her hand. “I was wrong. A great man rarely stoops to pettiness or harbors grievance for past wrongs. Please help me, Miss Tang!”

Yan Hua points to the place not far away. “That man is going to run...”

“Don’t mind him!” Wang Rong says nervously. “The runaway monk can’t run away with the temple. As long as you are willing to testify for me, it will be OK.”

“Miss, I don’t know you at all. How can I testify for you?” Yan Hua shakes her head. “Please get out of the way. We are leaving.”

Wang Rong is unwilling to give up and wants to grab her. She is pushed aside by Lang Ruoxian, so she simply stands in front of their car.

“Miss Tang, just spare me a few minutes and listen to me. Otherwise I won’t let you leave.”

Lang Ruoxian’s patience is exhausted. He is ready to call their bodyguards. But Yan Hua stops him. “If she really wants to talk to me, even if we leave this time, she will find me next time. If she runs to our house and frightens Grandma, it will be troublesome. Listen to what she will say.”

Yan Hua pushes open the car door and gets off. Lang Ruoxian comes to her side and hugs her. Only then does he coldly say, “You have only one minute.”

“Okay!” Wang Rong is too excited to tremble her hands. “Well, Miss Tang, do you remember that I talked to someone on the plane about the insurance compensation?”

Yan Hua nods. “Yes.”

“So you can prove that my husband left me a large sum of insurance compensation, right?”

Yan Hua smiles. “I don’t think I can prove it. I can only say that I heard you tell others that your husband had insurance.”

Wang Rong nods vigorously. “This will work. This will work! Can you help me to prove to the court that I did have insurance compensation before?”

“I can tell the judge what I heard.” Yan Hua glances at Lang Ruoxian. Lang Ruoxian stares at the woman. “What’s your lawsuit about?”

It turns out that Wang Rong’s parents-in-law didn’t know there was still insurance compensation. She took five million yuan alone. Then, after her husband’s funeral had passed 100 days, she told her husband’s family that she would leave. Her parents-in-law were all sensible people.

Knowing that their daughter-in-law was still young and unwilling to delay her, they let her leave the child to them and gave her some money to lead a life. They had no idea that Wang Rong had gone to lead a natural and unrestrained life with her lover with the money.

“I didn’t expect that beast Li Yang would cheat me!” Wang Rong cries out excitedly. “He said that he needed funds to do business, so he kept taking money from me. Later, I began to doubt and went to the company which he said to be his. But it was not his company at all. It turned out that he had been lying to me!”

Li Yang took away her five million yuan and had a more beautiful girlfriend, so he abandoned Wang Rong.
