Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 119 Disputes on the Dinner Party

Chapter 119 Disputes on the Dinner Party

“What will you deal with this sum of money if I don’t want it, either?”

The policeman thinks for a moment. “Generally speaking, it will be handed over to the country or donated according to the needs. However, this is the first time we have met such a large sum of money. Why don’t you chat with the owner of the lost money?”

“She doesn’t want it and what should I chat with her?” Yan Hua frowns. “Give me the money!”

The policeman is taken aback, thinking that she is so rich but greedy...

“Please help me donate to build some hope primary schools. I will follow up the progress. If it is not convenient for you, I will donate myself.” Actually, Yan Hua doesn’t trust the police very much. In other words, she doesn’t trust the Chinese system very much.

When the money has really reached where needed, it is unknown how much will remain.

“Okay!” The policeman is happy this time, and feels guilty that he has just suspected her. “We have special persons in charge of this matter and can contact the school directly. Don’t worry, we will donate in your name and keep you informed of the progress.”

“Can you not mention my name?” Yan Hua asks, “It is good to be in your name.”

The policeman advises a few words. When he sees Yan Hua insist, he has to promise. In the end, Yan Hua fills out several forms and signs on them, and the matter is over.

“I’ll check Lu Youde.” On the way back, Lang Ruoxian says.

Yan Hua feels it unnecessary. “Even if they have difficulties, it has nothing to do with us. It is very annoying to pick up money and have trouble.”

“Okay.” Lang Ruoxian looks at her and smiles.

He finds that Yan Hua likes fine clothes, delicious food and famous jewelry brands, and also dislikes trouble particularly. As long as it has nothing to do with her or does not affect her, she will try her best to avoid.

She is such a person, so those who can become her friend and let her put in the heart are very precious for her.

Yan Hua soon forgets about the money pick-up. They will still go to a charity dinner for Christmas. This year, she has been able to do everything from modeling to choosing what to become an auction item.

“You look very beautiful!” When Lang Ruoxian sees her, his eyes can’t leave her.

Yan Hua wears a cheongsam this year with hand-embroidered red and black flowers. With her beautiful and flamboyant face, when she smiles, she looks like a succubus, but when she looks at you coldly, she looks like a queen.

“Have you sent Gungun over there?” Yan Hua asks him.

This year, Gungun and Xiaojiu are sent to Chen Hong’s house. Chen Hong is also going to the dinner. But Chen Mingxi says that he has already been in primary school. He is an adult and will take good care of his younger brother and sister.

“You should trust my Mingxi.” Chen Hong guarantees, “He is good at taking care of others!”

Fei Ying who has a big heart, immediately agrees. Yan Hua hesitates, but Mingxi stares at her.

“Auntie, I will certainly take care of Gungun! You believe me.”

If she doesn’t agree again, she doesn’t believe the child... so this afternoon when she was doing her hair, Lang Ruoxian sent the Gungun.

“Lu Youde and his wife will also go tonight.” Although Yan Hua didn’t ask Lang Ruoxian to check, he still did, otherwise he wouldn’t rest assured.

Yan Hua glances at him. “What have you checked out?”

“Yuan Li had a marriage before. Her ex-husband went abroad for gold and did not know she was pregnant when he left.”

Later, it was said that her ex-husband was dead. She took the child alone for a year and the child suddenly lost. Before long, she married Lu Youde. But two years later, the message of her ex-husband suddenly arrived.

“He didn’t die?”

“No.”

He not only didn’t die, but also made a lot of money through the war. After contacting Yuan Li, he knew that she was married and that they had a child. He sent a sum of money back, meaning it was for the child.

“He didn’t know the child was lost?” Yan Hua seems to understand something, “So her ex-husband is going home, isn’t he?”

Lang Ruoxian nods. “He will return home next month and know that his child has long been lost.”

“Then she can’t solve the problem by throwing away the money...” Yan Hua can’t get it. “Just give it back to her ex-husband and tell the truth.”

“The problem is that her ex-husband’s sister has always believed that she deliberately abandoned the child.” Lang Ruoxian thinks about what is written on the material and pauses. “80% is true.”

Yan Hua’s expression changes. “She will get her result. Wait for her ex-husband to come back and settle accounts with her.”

“But we don’t know what it has to do with her throwing away the money.” Lang Ruoxian pulls Yan Hua’s shawl up. “It has nothing to do with us, anyway.”

The car slowly stops. Lang Ruoxian gets out of the car and holds out his hand to help Yan Hua. The two walk into the banquet hall, Fei Ying has been staring at the door. When she sees Yan Hua come, she hurriedly waves. This year, the four of them will sit at the same table.

Coincidentally...

“Lu Youde.” Lang Ruoxian whispers as soon as he sits down.

Yan Hua is a bit surprised to look at those beside her, a man in his 50s and a woman who looks very young.

“Yuan Li is so young...” She also lowers her voice.

Fei Ying gives her a push. “What are you two whispering about?”

“Nothing...” Yan Hua changes the subject. “What do you bring to auction today?”

What surprises her is that she doesn’t find Yuan Li, but Yuan Li finds her.

“Mrs. Lang.” Yan Hua comes out of the bathroom and is stopped by Yuan Li.

It seems that she is waiting for her specially.

“You are...” Yan Hua pretends not to know her.

Yuan Li looks at her. It is said that the widow Madam Hua is very popular in Lang Family. She sniffs at it. She thinks of Lang Ruoxian’s care for her at the dinner party. What else doesn’t she understand? Elder Brother and sister-in-law... Gee.

“Mrs. Lang doesn’t know me?” Yuan Li really despises Yan Hua.

Isn’t she beautiful? What else is there to show off when she gets old and senile?

“Sorry, have we met?” Yan Hua looks at her blankly. “Yes, we have. We are sitting at the same table.”

Yuan Li’s face becomes cold. “Mrs. Lang got 600,000 US dollars for nothing. Shouldn’t you thank me?”

“Mrs. Lu.” Yan Hua smiles. “It’s you...”

“Yes.” Yuan Li also smiles. “You say, why are you so nosy? It is only elementary school students who pick up money and give it to the police.”

Yan Hua whoops. “Then maybe Mrs. Lu and I do not live in the same world. I think it is the duty of every citizen to return money found.”

“Why are you playing innocent?” Yuan Li hears her speak so frankly, so she directly offends Yan Hua openly. “You did have the sum of money finally.”

“Didn’t the police inform you?” Yan Hua flicks the skirt corner, “I donated the money to the Hope Project.”

Yuan Li’s face changes color. “What? You didn’t take the money? “

“Why should I? It’s not my money.” Yan Hua pushes her away. “Excuse me.”

Seeing her leaving, Yuan Li’s eyes burn with anger. She really didn’t know that Yan Hua hadn’t taken the money. In her opinion, only a fool won’t take it. Although Yan Hua is Young Mistress in Lang Family, she is in an awkward position and has no financial resources at ordinary time.

The police called her later, but she pressed the button not to answer and missed the message.

“It is all your fault...” Yuan Li grinds her teeth. “No, I can’t let it go! You just wait and see.”

The dinner is over when Yan Hua returns. All of the people gather in twos and threes. This is a good opportunity to make friendly contacts and negotiate business. Fei Ying hands Yan Hua a piece of cake.

“Taste it! They hire a dessert chef from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Institute this year. It tastes very good.” Fei Ying herself picks up a piece. “Anyway, we only have the function of eating.”

“Where’s Sister Chen?” Yan Hua looks around and finds that Chen Hong is surrounded by several wives. She doesn’t know what they are talking about, but everyone there is smiling.

Fei Ying chuckles. “Our foundation’s public relations are all dependent on Sister Chen!”

“Why did you just leave so long?”

Yan Hua thinks and tells her about Yuan Li’s matter. She doesn’t mention her and her ex-husband, just says that Yuan Li is the owner of lost money who has refused to ask for money. But Yuan Li puts a query to Yan Hua again just now.

“Is she sick?” Fei Ying is wide-eyed, “I told you. I felt wrong when eating. She always looked at you.”

Yan Hua shakes her head. “Don’t worry about her. I donated all the money, anyway.”

At the end of this year’s dinner party, there is an additional activity. They set a very large crystal Christmas tree. It is said that it cost millions of dollars and is flown back from the United States, and the freight cost alone was hundreds of thousands.

Gifts are piled up under the tree. Everyone can go and get one. It seems that there are valuable jewelries such as diamonds.

“It’s really pretty.” Yan Hua likes beautiful things and stands under the crystal Christmas tree to take a photo with Fei Ying.

After the photo is taken, they are ready to go back. Lang Ruoxian and Fei Yi have already gone to pick up the cars. When leaving, Yan Hua is stopped by Yuan Li again.

“Mrs. Lang, sorry about what I did just now. Can I hold up your time for a while! Just a moment.”

Fei Ying stars at her as if she is going to do something bad to Yan Hua. Yan Hua pats her hand. “You wait for me over there. I will join you soon.”

“Shout if you have something!” Fei Ying stares at Yuan Li.

Yuan Li smiles at her. Compared with Yan Hua’s status, she doesn’t want to offend Fei Ying. Everyone in G City knows that Fei Ying is the apple of Fei Consortium’s boss’s eye.

“Go ahead.” Yan Hua looks at her. “If you still want to talk about money, then you’d better go to the police, because they also handled the donation, and I haven’t participated from beginning to end.”

Yuan Li smiles. “I just had a bad attitude. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be angry with you. Can you leave me your contact information? I’d like to invite you to dinner later and listen to why I don’t want the money.”

“Mrs. Lu, in fact, it has nothing to do with me whether you want to take it or not. I just happened to pick up to hand to the police. As for your difficulties and reasons, there is no need to tell me because we are not familiar with each other.”

Yan Hua doesn’t want to look at such a person anymore, who deliberately abandons her children in order to live a rich life herself. As a mother, she can’t imagine what kind of cruelty can cause people to do such a thing.

“Mrs. Lang, don’t you want to give me respect?” The smile on Yuan Li’s face is taken back and she becomes a little strange.

Yan Hua wants to take a step back and leaves, but Yuan Li grabs her arm.

“Why do you rush? I haven’t finished yet.” Yuan Li’s hand is so strong that she pulls Yan Hua to stumble. She is about to stand up when she hears Yuan Li shouting.

“Mrs. Lang, what are you doing? Don’t push me... Ah!”

There is a loud noise, which is the sound of glass falling to the ground. The crystal Christmas tree turns into glass all over the ground.
