Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 270 Who Is a Fox and Who Is a Dog

“Is it going well?” Bai Susu looks calm, but in fact she is also anxious.

Lang Ruoxian takes the sweet soup brought by Yan Hua and drinks it in one gulp. “It is going well. the company does not have much money at present.”

“Then when do you think he will take actions?”

“Within three days.” Lang Ruoxian is very sure.

The others stare blankly. Tang Cao and Tang Yao whisper. “Dad, do you know what mom and Brother Ruoxian are doing?”

“I don’t know.” Tang Yao doesn’t feel humiliated at all, and he is especially proud. “Don’t worry, your mother is so amazing. Now Lang Ruoxian also joins. We don’t have to worry about it!”

Tang Cao is relieved, but he makes a roundabout test. “Mom, Brother Ruoxian... I still have some money. If it is necessary, I can sell my car.”

“OK.” Lang Ruoxian smiles faintly. “Sell the car slowly. Take out your money first.”

Tang Cao is stunned and rushes at Yan Hua the next second.

“Sister, you are finished! Your jewelry, bags and other things of famous brands will all be sold.”

Chang Pei’e hits him lightly. “Your sister’s belongs won’t be sold. We will just sell yours.”

Tang Cao, with a sorrowful expression, says nothing but agrees.

“I am a man, and of course I have to share my family’s cares and burdens.” He also points to Tang Yao. “My father’s antiques can also be sold.”

Tang Yao throws a slipper to him. The father and son are fighting around the sitting room.

“This day has finally arrived.” Chang Pei’e sighs. “Tang Ming will step down in two months. He will definitely deal with us severely in these two months and will not give us a chance to turn over.”

Bai Susu massages the old lady’s leg. “Mom, you said it would occur sooner or later. I used to be really worried and didn’t know what to do. But now we are not afraid of him because of Ruoxian.”

“Of course we won’t be afraid of him.” Chang Pei’e looks at Lang Ruoxian. The more she looks at him, the more satisfied she becomes. “But one thing you’re right. Thanks to Ruoxian!”

Lang Ruoxian hugs Yan Hua and Yan Hua smiles at him sweetly. Lang Ruoxian can’t help but bows his head and kisses her, Yan Hua stares at him.

“Grandma, Mom, we are a family. You don’t have to thank me.”

“That’s the way it is, but for Lang Consortium, it will be a huge loss.” Bai Susu says gratefully, “We should thank you. After all, the company of Lang Family is behind you.”

Lang Ruoxian shakes his head. “Mom, that those three projects sold to Tang Ming are not necessarily losses to us.”

“Oh?” Bai Susu doesn’t understand. “Many people want the three pieces of land, whose value will at least double within three years.”

“Believe me, it will only double.”

But that it doubles means not millions of yuan or tens of thousands of yuan, but hundreds of millions of yuan. All Tang Ming’s initial targets are the three pieces of land brought over by Lang Ruoxian. He is a little worried that Lang Ruoxian will not sacrifice so much for the second branch of Tang Family, but Tang Yu soon tells him that Lang Ruoxian agrees to sell.

“I didn’t expect him to do this for the second branch of Tang Family.” Tang Ming sneers. “Haha. Gentle village is the hero’s grave. I used to admire Lang Ruoxian, but I doesn’t expect him also to be a trash who throws himself at a woman’s feet.”

Tang Yu is not so optimistic. In recent years, he has heard a lot of rumors about the Lang Family in G City. How can a man who can trample down his father and auntie be a common person?

“Dad, if we want to buy those three pieces of land, we will have to sell all the companies abroad. We will only have three pieces of land left.” Tang Yu tentatively asks, “Is it too risky?”

Tang Ming waves his hand. “Of the three pieces of land, one has been approved by the government for construction and the other two will be approved before I leave office. At the right moment, we can transfer all the foreign funds back. You can talk to Lang Ruoxian and hint about the matter of Tang Rui.”

This is also a warning. Don’t think if he steps down, the second branch of Tang Family can turn over. He still can step them down.

“By the way, let your mother take Tang Rui to visit Hua Family and bring his wife back.”

During this two months, they have been busy dealing with the second branch, so they have neglected Hua Yating. Tang Rui is probably afraid to go out to face disgrace, so he also has obediently stayed at home for two months.

“Then Tang Rui can go out!” Tang Yu asks with a smile. “He should have learned his lesson, too. Two months’ staying at home for him is no different from imprisonment.”

Tang Rui follows Huo Liyun to visit Hua Family’s house. Hua Yating’s belly has already been very big. B-mode ultrasound shows that she will give birth to a boy. So Huo Liyun still attaches great importance to her and buys two new bags specially for her daughter-in-law.

“Our Rui was set up by others. He was beaten by Tang Ming undeservedly and locked up at home for so long.” Huo Liyun smiles and grabs Ning Ting’s hand. “He would have come to pick up Yating earlier, but I said to let Yating stay a few more days!”

“You also know that things haven’t been got done, and the atmosphere in the home is not good, so I am also afraid of Yating and my grandson will be affected. It was until yesterday that the house was quiet, so we come to pick up Yating today.”

The members of Hua Family are all here today. Hua Bingrong’s expression is not very good. “So is the video really fake?”

“Of course!” Huo Liyun snorts. “I am not afraid of being laughed by you. He was set up by Lang Ruoxian! It is said that domestic shame should not be made public. But what the second branch did really makes us bitterly disappointed.”

Huo Liyun keeps criticizing the second branch of Tang Family. The more Hua Zhong beside hears, the more her frowns. Hua Yan glances at him, smiles and says.

“Aunt Huo, Tang Consortium hasn’t run very well recently. I hear that it plans to sell the three pieces of land brought by Lang Ruoxian.”

“Oh, I don’t know it.” Huo Liyun covers her mouth and smiles. “I don’t understand. If he wants to sell, he just sells. It has nothing to do with our first branch!”

Tang Rui supports Hua Yating to go downstairs, with an expression of impatience. Hua Yating’s eyes are red and she looks at him from time to time.

“Yating!” Huo Liyun quickly stands up and walks over. She touches Hua Yating’s face. “You’ve lost a lot of weight. Let’s go home today. Mom will cook you foods of nourishment to make your body healthier.”

Then she glares at Tang Rui again. “Be nice to your wife, or your father...”

“I know.” Tang Rui says impatiently. He supports Hua Yating to sit down on the sofa.

The expressions of Hua Bingrong and his two sons are not very good. Huo Liyun says quickly, “We adults won’t involve too much in the quarrels between the young couple. Lovers’ quarrels are soon mended. The more we involve, the more slowly the quarrels are mended!”

“Tang Rui.” Hua Bingrong endures and endures, but he finally can’t endure but to open his mouth. “I also know that you didn’t want to marry Yating, and if it weren’t for the baby, we wouldn’t have agreed to the marriage.”

Huo Liyun’s face changes color. “Bingrong, why did you say so? Look...”

“Let me finish.” Hua Bingrong raises his hand. “I have only one daughter. She insisted on marrying you, so she has to accept the result herself.”

“What I want to say is that our two families have fame and prestige. In the future, if you have conflicts, we shall solve the problem privately. Don’t easily make headlines. Your Tang Family is not ashamed, but we cannot afford to lose our face.”

Seeing Tang Rui is going to say something with a dark face, Hua Bingrong interrupts him. “I said, it was Yating who had to marry you, so it was up to her to suffer. However, if there is a quarrel, don’t make a big trouble.”

“How can it be!” Huo Liyun squeezes out a smiling face. “Don’t worry, Bingrong. If Rui bullies Yating in the future, I will be the first to blame him.”

Ning Ting, who has not spoken all the time, sees her daughter love Tang Rui wholeheartedly and sighs heavily. “All right, go back with your mother-in-law! Rui, I am not a gossipy mother-in-law. However, Yating is pregnant with your child. Please be nice to her for the sake of the child.”

“Mom, I will.” Tang Rui says with a straight face. “I am not bad to her anyway.”

Hua Yating nods hastily. “Yes, mom! Rui is very kind to me.”

Huo Liyun keeps talking polite formulas for a while, and then takes Tang Rui and Hua Yating away. As soon as they leave the house, Hua Bingrong smashes the cup.

“What’s the use of smashing a cup?” Hua Zhong sneers. “She insist on showing excessive passion to a cold person, and you can hit her if you are capable.”

“How did you say so? That’s your own sister.” Ning Ting stares at her son. “Both of you are troublesome. Last week I asked you to go to meet Uncle Liu’s daughter, but where did you go? The girl was kept waiting for you in the restaurant for two hours. Where are you going? Ah, you stop...”

With a bang, Hua Zhong closes the door and leaves.

Ning Ting is so angry that she keeps patting the sofa, and then she stares at Hua Yan.

“Mom, don’t stare at me. I haven’t provoked you lately!” Hua Yan says quickly.

Hua Bingrong speaks first. “What’s the matter between you and Dong Nianshuang? You have been dating for such a long time. When are you going to get engaged?”

“I am not in a hurry, since she is still young.” Hua Yan smiles. “Let’s talk about it in two years!”

“Is she still young?” Hua Yan’s mother doesn’t agree. “But are you also young? Besides, I don’t ask you to get married. I just want you to get engaged. Is she unwilling?”

“No.” Hua Yan says helplessly, “She didn’t say that she was unwilling, but I haven’t asked her.”

Hua Bingrong frowns. “You go to ask her as soon as possible. Tang Ming is leaving office soon. The situation will definitely change greatly. We are sort of tied to Bai Family because of we having united Dong Family by marriage.”

“Dong Family has raised two good daughters.” Ning Ting snorts. “One marries into Bai Family and the other marries into our family. Otherwise, his family would never be able to enter our circle.”

Hua Yan, however, reminds her with a wry smile. “Mom, don’t forget that the relationship between Dong Family and the second branch of Tang Family has always been bad. If we unite Dong Family by marriage, it means that we are on the opposite side of the second branch of Tang Family.”

“Even if we don’t unite Dong Family by marriage, our relationship will not be good.” Hua Bingrong pats his son on the shoulder. “All right, let’s forget about the past and ask Dong Nianshuang what that girl thinks.”

Dong Nianshuang doesn’t know what she wants herself. Hua Yan has been very kind to her during this period of time. He will call her and send WeChat messages to her every day at ordinary times. As long as they are free, they will eat and go shopping together.

He is also generous to her and keeps sending her famous-brand bags and jewelry. The two are often photographed by reporters and they are almost an accepted couple. She also gets a lot of good resources because of the power of Hua Family, which are better than those she got before due to Bai Family’s backing up.

But...

“Did your parents urge you?” Today, the two have another meal together. Hua Yan casually mentions his parents’ idea.

Dong Nianshuang puts down her chopsticks. “It’s my fault. I should have visited them long ago but I had been filming previously.”

“It doesn’t matter. Working is important!” Hua Yan says with a smile. “However, my mother is right. Being engaged first is actually good for you.”

Dong Nianshuang also knows, of course, but she just can’t say “yes” even the word is on the tip of her tongue.

A few people go downstairs in a distance. Dong Nianshuang’s eyes suddenly brighten.
