Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 235 Encounter in the Street

Chapter 235 Encounter in the Street

I’d like to meet Tang Duo.

Hua Yan’s voice is very light, echoing in the air.

“She won’t want to see you.”

Before Ning Ting screams, her younger son’s cold voice spreads first.

“Why do you want to meet her?” Ning Ting shouts, “Our family’s affair with Tang Family has been over. Listen to me, you should pretend not knowing her. You should not meet her again. You should not meet anyone of Tang Family.”

Hua Yan’s lips compress and he looks at his brother who standing at the stairs. Having seen Hua Zhong look indifferent, he gives a wry smile and says, “Zhong, are you still blaming me...”

“Is it useful that I blame you?” Hua Zhong comes over and says, “Time will not flow back. I can’t stop you from doing that.”

Ning Ting looks at her two sons and just wants to speak, but Hua Yan shake his head towards her.

“Mom, it’s okay. Let Zhong say. Since I am back, I have many things to face.”

“What’s the use of facing those things now?” Hua Zhong’s voice finally has some ups and downs. Under Ning Ting’s discontented eyes, he stands up irritably. “You shouldn’t meet Sister Duo. She is leading a good life now. She won’t want to see you.”

Then, ignoring Ning Ting’s calling, he strides away from home.

When Yan Hua meets Hua Yan in the street, she has strong doubts about the sentence that the world is so big that I want to see it. The world is really very small, OK? Or she goes out without looking at the almanac... At first she thinks she is wrong. After all, she only saw the photos. But the other party sees her with complicated eyes, and then comes over.

“Ms. Tang...” Hua Yan opens his mouth and originally wants to call her Tang Duo as before, but it is unknown why the addressing turns to be Ms. Tang at the tip of his tongue.

Yan Hua has no facial expression on the surface, but she is pondering about Hua Yan in her heart. She finds that he is more mature than the photos. After all, six years have passed.

“Do you have time?” Hua Yan looks around. “Let’s go to the cafe over there and sit for a while.”

Yan Hua narrows her eyes and looks at Hua Yan with obvious contempt. Hua Yan is stunned and says with a wry smile. “I just want to... Say sorry to you.”

“Is that all?” Yan Hua asks, “Then get out of the way.”

Hua Yan stops her. “Tang Duo, I really want to apologize to you. I... I didn’t mean to embarrass you. Just... Just at that time I was too young to think about the consequences of doing that, you...”

“Hua Yan.” Yan Hua looks at him. “So, do you want me to forgive you? All the problems will be solved with a smile, then shake hands and greet you?” Yan Hua smiles. “Because you were young and ignorant, you could trample on the dignity of others at will. Now you regret it? Haha...”

“You regret it not because of the harm you did to me at that time, but because you are mature now, not the silly before. You feel what you have done is not right and your conscience is hard to handle. You just want to give yourself an explanation.”

“After all, it is selfishness.” Yan Hua continues as Hua Yan’s face turns pale. “You want to make yourself feel better, right? Then you have to find your own way. I have no obligation to help you out.”

“And what about the woman you took away?” Yan Hua mocks him. “I think... I’m not the only one you’re sorry for!”

She laughs scornfully and walks away without turning back. Hua Yan, who stays where he was, shakes and almost loses his footing.

“Yan!” Bai Jingzhu runs across the road. “What’s wrong with you? Is everything okay?”

Hua Yan gives her a look. “Miss Bai...”

“Is Tang Duo bothering you again?” Bai Jingzhu was allowed to come out of her house only last month. Her families have made up their minds this time and kept her at home for the new year. Today, she dates a friend to have her hair done. When she sees Hua Yan and Tang Duo in the street, she thinks it is an illusion.

Hua Yan is back? Then she parks her car hurriedly and runs over here.

“It’s been so long. What more does she want?” Bai Jingzhu angrily says, “You don’t like her, do you still have to force yourself to marry her? She is married now and has a child. Why doesn’t she let you go!”

“Miss Bai.” Hua Yan frowns and pushes her away. “Tang Duo didn’t say anything. Please don’t talk so much.”

He doesn’t forget that Bai Jingzhu is the one who exposed the matter. Although it started with him, he doesn’t want to have more contact with this kind of woman. After listening to what she said just now, it is obvious that though she has grown older in recent years, her brain hasn’t grown at all...

Bai Jingzhu sees that he doesn’t look very well. She mumbles two sentences and doesn’t dare to say anything more. However, she immediately asks excitedly, “When did you come back? Are you still going?”

She tugs at Hua Yan’s sleeve and Hua Yan has an impatient expression. He simply throws off her hand and walks away. Bai Jingzhu whoops several times and follows him. Her mind is occupied by the thought that Hua Yan has come back, Hua Yan appears, and she finally look forward to this day.

“Miss Bai, I still have something to do. Please get out of the way.” Hua Yan sits into the car, Bai Jingzhu still clings to the car door.

With a cold face, he decides to put it straight.

“I don’t know you very well. I don’t want to have any communication with you because you made things known to everyone in those days. Stand aside!”

Bai Jingzhu cries at once. “Yan, how can you say that? I didn’t mean it! I... I apologize to you. Don’t be angry.”

Hua Yan sees Bai Jingzhu crying, and keeping saying to him that she didn’t mean it at that time and she is sorry, but Tang Duo’s face flashes in Hua Yan’s mind. It seemed that she said the same thing to him just now.

Yes... By saying “I didn’t mean it,” and “sorry,” what can he recover?

Beep! He suddenly blows his horn and startles Bai Jingzhu.

“Ah!”

While she is retreating, Hua Yan starts the car and drives off quickly with his foot on the accelerator.

“Yan! Yan!” Bai Jingzhu’s voice is drowned in the sea of cars. She stamps her foot and picks up her mobile phone to call her brother.

Bai Yuanfei is with Hua Zhong when he receives the phone call from Bai Jingzhu. After hearing a few words, his face changes color and he slurps when he hangs up.

“I see. You call me out to drink in the day, because your brother came back?”

Hua Zhong waves his glass and says, “He is back. He won’t leave.”

“You really keep it from others well.” Bai Yuanfei gives him a blow. “You didn’t tell me!”

“I didn’t know it until these two days.” Hua Zhong glances at him. “How does your sister know?”

Bai Yuanfei smiles. “She met him in the street.”

“Puff! Then my brother is really unlucky.”

“Anyway, it’s my younger sister. Don’t say anything about her in front of me.” Bai Yuanfei leans in. “By the way, how about the woman he took away at that time? Also brought back?”

Hua Zhong answers. “I don’t know. It has nothing to do with me.”

“For so many years, your family didn’t ask? Your mother didn’t care?” Bai Yuanfei asks strangely, “Aunt should be very worried logically. After all, the woman’s identity was impossible to marry into your family. Your brother eloped for her, which shows that he must have loved her very much.”

Hua Zhong gives him a look. “They separated very early.”

“Separated?” Bai Yuanfei is not much surprised. “That’s OK... Otherwise, if they are still together and come back together, Tang Family will lose face again. Who knows how to argue in the circle?”

“Sister Duo doesn’t like my brother. Even if my brother is with seven or eight women, it has nothing to do with her.” Hua Zhong warns Bai Yuanfei with his eyes. “Later, don’t relate my brother to Sister Duo.”

Bai Yuanfei raises his hand to show his surrender. “It’s useless for me to relate or not. The key is that it is going to be fun again when your brother comes back.”

“Discipline admirably your sister.” Hua Zhong snorts. “Be careful that you want to make fun of others but finally your family may be made fun of by others.”

Tang Consortium.

Yan Hua comes to the company once in a blue moon. She just met Hua Yan. She doesn’t know if her performance is right. Yan Hua despises Hua Yan’s behavior at that time, but she has no memory of Tang Duo and is looking at it from the perspective of an onlooker.

She is not sure whether her attitude to Hua Yan is proper.

“Hua?” Lang Ruoxian has just finished the meeting. He returns to the office after knowing that Yan Hua has come and pushes off the following schedule.

Yan Hua sits at the back of his desk and turns the chair, saying somewhat listlessly, “I met Hua Yan.”

“Did he find you?” Lang Ruoxian’s eyes are cold.

“No, I ran into him in the street.” Yan Hua knocks her head on the table. “Is it bad luck?”

Lang Ruoxian pulls her up and holds her in his arms. “What’s the matter? Does he make you unhappy?”

“No...” Yan Hua rubs against the man’s arms. “I scolded him, but I don’t know if my reaction would be too drastic.”

She repeats to Lang Ruoxian what she said to Hua Yan, but Lang Ruoxian says. “If I were you, I would beat him first, then spit on his face, and finally tell him not to appear in front of me in the future, or I would spit at him every time I saw him.”

Yan Hua bursts out laughing. “I didn’t see why you have eighth grader syndrome now.”

Lang Ruoxian ponders and doesn’t know what eighth grader syndrome means.

“Forget it! It’s nothing. I’m just a little stressed.” Yan Hua embraces him. “I especially want to restore memory today. At least I can use my own feelings to face people or things I don’t like.”

Lang Ruoxian pats her on the back very gently, just like comforting a child.

“Don’t be afraid. It’s nothing. He is not an important person. Later when you meet him, just ignore him. Anyway, everyone knows the reason. If they want to say something or laugh at you, they should have finished doing so years ago.”

Lang Ruoxian knows what Yan Hua is afraid of. Except that she felt a little uneasy to face these people in Yanjing at the beginning, Yan Hua could face them smoothly later. It is also because Tang Duo has few real friends so Yan Hua does not need to face too many people.

But now Hua Yan breaks the peace as soon as he comes back. He pushes Tang Duo in front of everyone else again. There are not many people who know it now. When people all know it later, there will definitely be another wave of heated discussion about Tang Duo and Hua Yan.

“You now have me, Gungun, and Wuyou. What reason do you think those people have to laugh at you?” Lang Ruoxian snorts. “Where am I not better than that guy?”

Yan Hua raises her head and pinches the man’s face to pull. Lang Ruoxian lets her pinch his face, eyes being more gentle.

“Well! You’re right.” Yan Hua loosens her hand and rubs the man’s face. “I shall laugh at him if I have to. After all, he is still alone.”
