Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 296 Tang Yixiao

Chapter 296 Tang Yixiao

“Don’t be silly!” Tang Ming bangs the table. “Why don’t stay at home but in hotel when you come back? Let outsiders know it, they will think that I don’t let you come home.”

Tang Yixiao presses her mouth and does not speak. Tang Jie mediates the dispute. “Dad, Yixiao just comes back. Don’t blame her too much! Yixiao, it’s not appropriate for you to live outside on the Spring Festival. Be obedient. Follow me to tidy up the room.”

Tang Yixiao glares at Tang Ming and goes upstairs with a straight face.

“You don’t blame dad. He doesn’t mean to vent anger to you. Rui and Ziyan are both lying on the sickbeds. He went to the house of the second branch a few days ago to ask for justice and was injured.” Tang Jie sighs. “There is no one in the family to take care of routine matters during the Spring Festival. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have called you back.”

Tang Yixiao pushes open her room. The decoration inside does not change. She hasn’t been back for so many years, but the room is clean and has no peculiar smell.

“Mom lets the house maid clean and ventilate it every day. The quilts and other things are new.” Tang Jie puts the suitcase away for her. “Tidy up your clothes yourself? I’ll go downstairs to see dad first, and we’ll eat at home at noon.”

“Isn’t your wife here?” Tang Yixiao asks.

“She went abroad with my parents-in-law, because her brother graduated.” Tang Jie says. “First Sister-in-Law takes Kai to accompany our eldest brother in Mi Country. Alas! There are only three of us in the family.”

Tang Yixiao opens the suitcase and hangs the clothes in the wardrobe. Tang Jie is about to leave and he hears Tang Yixiao ask again when he closes the door.

“Tang Rui and Tang Ziyan deserved it. Who did they want to harm?”

“Yixiao... That’s your own brother and sister.” Tang Jie frowns. “You...”

“Forget it, Brother Jie. You don’t have to perform a good brother in front of me. Everyone knows what’s going on.” Tang Yixiao looks up with a mocking smile. “Besides, I won’t eat at home at noon. I have an appointment with friends.”

Bai Susu suddenly asks to add dishes at noon. Yan Hua asks curiously. “Is there any guest coming?”

“Yixiao has come back.” Bai Susu smiles and says with a complicated expression. “She just gets off the plane and wants to see me and your grandmother.”

Yan Hua is not surprising. In the words of Chang Pei’e, Tang Yixiao is the only good child in the first branch, but it is a pity that she was ruined by Tang Ming.

“You used to have a good relationship with her.” Bai Susu says, “Although your relationship was plain on the surface, it seemed that you had some private contacts.”

Yan Hua gets a fright. “Then... Then what shall I do? What if she says something I don’t know later?”

“It’s all right. Yixiao is not the kind of inquisitive person.” Bai Susu touches her hair. “I’m just curious, too. One of you was cold and indifferent while the other was as proud as a peacock at that time. How could you have contacts in private?”

Bai Susu’s words make Yan Hua anxious, so she runs to the study to find Lang Ruoxian.

“Mom said it was okay.” Lang Ruoxian comforts her. “According to the information from the investigation, Tang Yixiao is indeed open and aboveboard. As a businesswoman, she never uses intrigues and has a good reputation.”

Yan Hua thinks for a moment and is somewhat complacent. “It seems that I am with a good eye and all my friends are good people with correct values.”

Though she says so, she is still nervous. In case Tang Yixiao finds out that she has no memory, and then she will in trouble...

“Coming!” Bai Susu hears the doorbell ring.

The house maid opens the door and a slim woman stands at the door. She wears a black cashmere coat, with beautiful curly hair. Her facial features are slightly heroic, and the red lipstick is imposing.

Yan Hua compares her with the photo. Eh! Indeed as expected she is the kind of goddess with very elite style.

“Second Aunt!” Tang Yixiao smiles, which makes her temperament immediately become gentle. She walks a few steps to come in and then embraces Bai Susu. “Second Aunt... Long time no see. By the way, where is grandma?”

Chang Pei’e shouts, sitting on the sofa. “Here I am! Here I am!”

“Grandma, happy New Year!” Tang Yixiao comes over and hugs Chang Pei’e. “Grandma, I miss you so much, so much.”

Chang Pei’e’s eyes are wet and she pats Tang Yixiao several times. “You said you missed me, but you didn’t come back to visit me. You even didn’t call me.”

“Yes, yes, it’s all my fault.” Tang Yixiao cries and turns to look at Yan Hua.

Yan Hua tightens her body and is about to smile when Tang Yixiao flatly says. “I knew you wouldn’t die. Why would god take back a person who only knew how to eat, drink and be merry? It would waste the path to rebirth.”

Yan Hua is speechless.

“You look good. It seems that the man you married is also good.” Tang Yixiao stares at her carefully for a long time, probably to make sure that Yan Hua really leads a good life. And then Tang Yixiao turns to talk to Chang Pei’e with smile.

Yan Hua and Bai Susu look at each other and smile.

If it weren’t for the obvious concern in Tang Yixiao’s eyes, she really can’t see that this woman has a good relationship with herself. How firm in speech but soft in heart she is!

Is this how two women used to get along before?

The house maid asks everyone to go to the dining room for dinner. Tang Yixiao and Yan Hua lag behind. Tang Yixiao glances at her. “Where are your husband and son?”

“My husband is in the study. He will come down immediately. Your uncle, my father took Tang Cao, Gungun and Wuyou to visit his friends today.”

Tang Yixiao frowns. “To be honest, I really didn’t expect you to adopt a child. Aren’t you most afraid of trouble?”

“I was amnesic...” Yan Hua eyes flutter.

Tang Yixiao crosses her arms across her chest and smiles. “It’s good for you to lose your memory. At least I think you are not as a proud peacock as before.”

“... Thank you for your praise.” Yan Hua twitches the corner of the mouth.

“Look, you even understand politeness. You could never say thanks to me before.” Tang Yixiao looks at her. “Very well, it would be better to lose the memory again and get rid of the problem of loving dressing up.”

Yan Hua glares at her. “What’s wrong with loving dressing up?”

“Waste of resources.” Tang Yixiao reaches out and pokes at her ear. “This is the new model of the G Brand, with a total of three colors. You must have bought all of them again?”

Yan Hua doesn’t know why she blurts out. “You must have been late again and didn’t buy any, right?”

“As expected... You are still a perisher!” Tang Yixiao snorts and leaves, swinging her arms.

Yan Hua blinks where she stays. She seems to understand the way she gets along with Tang Yixiao. Speechless.

“Ruoxian, this is Yixiao.” As soon as Lang Ruoxian enters the dining room, Yan Hua introduces Tang Yixiao to him.

After Lang Ruoxian sits down, Yan Hua secretly says. “She is a nice person!”

“Nice to meet you, I am Lang Ruoxian.” Lang Ruoxian flatly says hello.

Chang Pei’e smiles. “Don’t mind it, Yixiao. Ruoxian’s temperament is just like this. He is not enthusiastic to everyone except Hua.”

“This is very good.” Tang Yixiao doesn’t care. “Men should be like this. It is ok to be enthusiastic for his wife. What’s the point to be enthusiastic for others? He’s not the sun so he doesn’t need to cast his light on everything!”

She seems very satisfied and nods to Lang Ruoxian. “It’s hard for you to bear this woman Tang Duo. You are a good man.”

Yan Hua squints.

“But I heard that you met her when she lost her memory. That was really her good luck. Otherwise, if you had known her true self first, you would have been scared away.”

Tang Yixiao continues. “But whether she has memory or not, her taste for men has not changed.”

Yan Hua is speechless.

“What is my taste for men?” Yan Hua originally didn’t want to talk because she was afraid of revealing herself, but this woman’s mouth was just...

Tang Yixiao squints at her. “You have no taste. You just need to look at their faces. A face judger.”

“...” Yan Hua feels that she is beaten. How did she get along with this woman before?

But she can’t lose!

“What’s the matter with face judgers? Of course, people like us who are good-looking like good-looking things.” She snorts. “How can people like you who are not very good-looking understand the thoughts of our good-looking people?”

After saying that, she would also like to ask for help. “Isn’t it right, honey?”

“Yes.” Lang Ruoxian hugs her and the two of them bare teeth at Tang Yixiao together.

“Hahaha!” Chang Pei’e laughs out tears. Bai Susu also can’t help laughing.

Tang Yixiao rolls her eyes. “You are worthy of being able to like face judger. You two are really made for each other.”

“Is the bicker over?” Bai Susu smiles and shakes her head. “If the bicker is over, we will eat. The food is going to get cold.”

After the meal, everyone chats with each other in the sitting room. Yan Hua’s mobile phone rings and she says sorry to answer the phone.

“Yixiao, how have you been these years?” Bai Susu asks. “You haven’t contacted with us. When you left, I said that if you had difficulty, you must call us, but you...”

“Second Aunt!” Tang Yixiao touches the earring. “Look at me. Do you think that I am not living a good life?”

Chang Pei’e looks at her. “Whether it is good or bad, it is in your heart, but we can’t see. Have the members of Chen Family been kind to you? And how about your husband? Although it was to get connections through marriage, I did inquire about him at that time, at least he didn’t have messy faults.”

“My mother-in-law and my father-in-law are very kind to me. They retired when they went to Australia. I have been in charge of the company.” Tang Yixiao says slowly. “Chen Yihe and I don’t like each other, but we get along better, just like friends.”

Bai Susu opens her mouth. “Yixiao, haven’t you tried to cultivate feelings?”

“Second Aunt, we are impossible.” Tang Yixiao shakes her head. “It’s good to be friends.”

Chang Pei’e’s eyes are red-rimmed again. “Isn’t this committing a sin, good girl? What are you going to do in the future? Do you want to live your whole life like this and have no one to like?”

“Grandma, this is quite good!” Tang Yixiao hugs the old lady. “You see, even without Chen Yihe, there would be someone else. I don’t have the right to choose my own marriage. Now this is the best result.”

Bai Susu sighs. This saying is right. At least Chen Yihe doesn’t have a mistress outside and doesn’t have any illegitimate children. Speaking of children, Bai Susu asks again.

“You can’t always live like this! You have to have a child. Otherwise when you get old, you will be alone.”

Tang Yixiao shows a complacent smile. “I am not alone! When I get old, I will live opposite Tang Duo’s house and let her son take care of me. It’s a pity that Gungun is not here today. Otherwise we can improve our relationship.”
