Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 198 Come and Go

“Are you out of your mind?” Tang Cao retorts. “We all know what it means. Why must you dwell on these words?”

When Tang Rui tries to retort, he is pushed back to the sofa by his eldest brother, “What Aunt means is that there were too many people there last year and their relationships are complicated. As a family, why must you court trouble?”

“Anyway, I don’t think it has anything to do with our family.” Seeing Chang Pei’e smiling at him, Tang Rui’s anger disappeared. He says, “How can we investigate with so many people in such a long time ago?”

Tang Ming looks at his youngest son and says, “Just investigate.” Then his gaze travels to Yan Hua, “Hua, whether it was coincidence or not, you must be careful. If there is indeed a conspiracy behind it, they may still take actions since you come back.”

“If they hurt Hua again, does that mean she is their only target?” Tang Yixiao, who remains silent suddenly asks.

Yan Hua turns to look at Tang Ming’s married daughter, Tang Yixiao. This beautiful and smart woman has married to a man surnamed Guo, whose family owns the biggest company in telecom industry. Although their marriage is for the profits of families, they seem attracted to each other.

There is little information about Tang Yixiao. In general, she is typical of a celebrity. But her words just now make Yan Hua realize that in this family, there are no simple and naïve people but supplicated ones!

“I hope they are only against Hua.” Chang Pei’e touches Yan Hua’s hair with a smile: “But even if they do it again, we cannot rule out the possibility that they decide to go with what happened.”

Wisdom comes after experience! Yan Hua gives Chang Pei’e applaud in her heart.

“You are right.” Tang Ming nods. “Anyway, let’s go and investigate first. Don’t let go of any trace.”

Seeing that everyone’s emotion is affected, Huo Liyun quickly orders people in the kitchen to bring a few plates of fruit. “Okay! Today, we gather here to celebrate the return of Hua, so cheer up. Ah, Ming! Didn’t you say you wanted to play chess with Yao? Just go!”

“Enjoy yourselves. I’ll go upstairs and have a rest.” Chang Pei’e stands up with Yan Hua, “When people get old, their spirits are getting worse and worse.”

Bai Susu: “Hua, help your grandmother upstairs.”

“Sure!”

There are several rooms on the third floor prepared for the Tang family. Generally, Tang Yao will rest here when they come. Chang Pei’e leans on her bed and grins at Yan Hua. “You did very well!”

“Grandma, I...”

“Let’s talk about it when we come back to our own home.” Chang Pei’e pats her hands. “Go downstairs and remember to wake me up when you leave. I’m going to have a lie-down.”

Yan Hua nods and closes the door after she tucks her grandma in.

Walking to the second floor, she sees Tang Ziyan running from the balcony with her mobile phone in a panic and when she notices Yan Hua, her eyes appear even more panicked.

“What are you doing?” Tang Ziyan hides her cell phone behind her and asks.

Yan Hua smiles, “I’m walking downstairs. What’s wrong with you?”

“Nothing.” Tang Ziyan calms down and goes to Yan Hua with a groan, “If I were you, I would not come back!”

“Oh?” Yan Hua crooks her pinkies and looks at the red coat of nail polish smiling: “This is my house. Why can’t I come back?”

Tang Ziyan’s face darkens: “You... You’re still so shameless. There’s no man here. Who wants to see you being so pretentious?”

“Just for myself!” Yan Hua replies with her head tilted, “During these years of my absence, I guess you all had great fun. Now that I’m back, let’s hang out together more often!”

“How dare you hang out with us?” Tang Ziyan looks at her with shock. “Aren’t you ashamed? You are abandoned, and your man would rather elope with a young lady, you...”

“But I have a husband now. My son is so cute. Haven’t you seen him?” Yan Hua interrupts, “My husband is very handsome, too! And he is a president!”

Tang Ziyan is very angry. This woman is the same as a few years ago, and she is even more arrogant.

“Shame on you!” Tang Ziyan snarls, “You think you are still in the past. Let me tell you! Your time has long gone. You are old.”

Yan Hua touches her face and says, “Am I old? Well, I look better even though I’m older than you! “

“You...”

“Do you have a boyfriend?” Yan Hua asks.

Tang Ziyan said, “It’s none of your business.”

“But you are my cousin. I have to care about you.” Yan Hua walks past her. “I remember you used to like someone. Who is he? Is he Hua Zhong?”

“I thought I could see the happy ending of you two, but apparently he refused your pursuit.” Slowly walking downstairs, Yan Hua turns her head and curls her lips. “Come on, my cousin. Otherwise... You’ll have to get married for alliances.”

Tang Ziyan gets so angry that she reaches her hands to push her. However, Yan Hua moves faster and has walked down several steps. Tang Ziyan fails and as she begins to swear, she sees Tang Cao running up.

“What are you doing?” Tang Cao asks Yan Hua before he sees Tang Ziyan standing at the top of the stairway. “Why are you here, too?”

Tang Ziyan is outraged and obviously she has no kind words, “This is my home. Where I am is none of your business.”

“Are you screwing over my sister?” With just one big step, Tang Cao stands in front of Tang Ziyan, “Why are you so annoying?”

Tang Ziyan sneers, “You think you and Yan Hua are not annoying? But for our family, you two...”

“Damn. Shut up!” Tang Cao raises his hand to frighten her. “You think I won’t slap you?”

“You dare!” Tang Ziyan turns her face to him and says, “Do it, do it!”

Tang Cao swears. Actually, he dares not...

“If you hadn’t insisted on skiing, my sister would not have had an accident. You are such a trouble!” He dares not slap her, but he can curse! Tang Cao continues, “Do you think everybody will remain silent about that? Well, had you not born in this family, you would have been slapped hard. You are so full of yourself.”

Tang Ziyan retorts, “But I was born into the Tang Family. You are speaking as if you are not a member of the Tang Family.” Then she points to Yan Hua, “Don’t think I don’t know, Brother Rui has investigated that your husband is not the real father of your son at all, and you were his sister-in-law before!”

“Why are you three standing here?” Tang Ming and Tang Yao come out of the study and see them.

Tang Ziyan is silent. She dares not say those words in front of her elders no matter how bold she is. Giving her a scathing look, Tang Cao also dares not say anything. Only Yan Hua smiles.

“Ziyan is kind to remind me that Gungun is not my husband’s biological child, and he may be bullied in the future.” Yan Hua’s gaze drifts across Tang Ziyan’s grumpy face. “I don’t know where she heard that my husband used to be my brother-in-law.”

Rotating the walnuts in his hand, Tang Ming says, “Well, I heard that from your dad. Ziyan, don’t bring that up. Do you hear me?”

“... I see.” Tang Ziyan nods reluctantly.

However, Yan Hua goes on saying.

“I know Ziyan is kind, so I tell her that if my husband treats me or Gungun badly, I’ll tell you, Uncle. I’m sure you will stand by me, won’t you?”

Tang Ming laughs, “Of course! No one can hurt my dear Hua.”

These people go downstairs. When Bai Susu is about to say that they can go, she hears the crying of children coming from the drawing room.

“Kai, what’s wrong?” Yang Yanqing and Yan Hua rush to them. When they arrive, they see the toys are all on the carpet. Kai is sitting on the floor crying while Gungun is standing on the side looking innocent.

“Tell Mom, why are you crying?” Yang Yanqing wipes his tears and casts a look at Gungun.

Clutching Yan Hua’s leg, Gungun looks up at her.

“Gungun, why is your elder brother crying!” Yan Hua squats down to his eye-level.

Pointing to a car on the ground, he replies, “I want to play the car, but Brother Kai said I must play the robot with him. I said you play it yourself, and I wanted to play the car... So he cried.”

“Is that so?” Yang Yanqing asks her son.

Kai nods, sobbing, “Gungun didn’t listen to me.”

“Kai, Gungun can play whatever he wants. You can’t force others to play what you want to play, you know?”

Kai is a little confused. The children who usually play with him always listen to him. They play whatever he says. How can it be like this? Isn’t he the one to have the final say?

Yang Yanqing certainly knows what her son is thinking about. He usually plays with the children in the compound who are told by their parents that Tang Kai cannot be offended, so they all follow him.

“Gungun, look, Brother Kai is crying. Would you like to play robot with him?”

Actually, robot is Gungun’s favorite toy. Today, why he refused Kai was because Kai kept commanding him. He wouldn’t listen to him.

“All right...” Picking up the robot that Gungun has been waiting to play, he asks his brother, “Would you like to play together?”

For Kids, their tears and laughter come and go quickly. Right now, Kai is happy to take another robot, “Gungun, let’s go to the earth to save mankind!”

“Okay!”

The two little boys continue playing together.

“I’m sorry, Hua.” Yang Yanqing says embarrassedly, “Kai is spoiled by his grandmother.”

“No, no. It’s nothing!” Yan Hua really feels that growing up in this family, Kai is very good. “He’s very sensible. You know, kids are all just like that. Sometimes, Gungun is more overacted.”

Around 10 o’clock when Gungun is almost asleep, Chang Pei’e prepares to leave, and Huo Liyun walks her to the door.

“Aunt, now that everybody’s back, you can come here more often now. At least come here for dinner every month!”

Chang Pei’e promises with a smile, “As long as you don’t see it as a trouble!”

“How could I? We are a family!”

Yan Hua turns to see the place as the car pulls out of the courtyard. It is said that the geomancy of this place is the best in Yanjing. In front of it is the central axis of Yanjing, the office place of the state leaders and the residence of Chinese ancient emperors.

“What are you looking at?” Tang Cao also turns his head.

Yan Hua lets out a sign of relief and leans back on the seat, “It’s okay, I just feel tired.”

“That’s inevitable.” Bai Susu looks at her pale face: “After all, you have to act for half of the time. It takes a lot of efforts.”

Tang Yao says in a hurry, “My dear daughter, you did very well! That’s what you used to be like.”

“Yes, yes!” Tang Cao then says, “You didn’t see my sister quarrel with Tang Ziyan. That woman was too angry to speak.”

Chang Pei’e closes her eyes and smiles, “Hua, how do you feel about coming here?”
