Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 181 Someone Coming from Yanjing

Regardless of what will happen two months later, Shu Sheng soon places the information returned from the investigation on Lang Ruoxian’s desk. After reading it, Lang Ruoxian can basically be sure that this is Yan Hua’s family, but somewhat to his surprise, her childhood name is really Hua.

However, according to the information, Yan Hua was dead. She died in a mountain climbing five years ago.

“It turns out that my name is Tang Duo.” Yan Hua reads the information carefully and reads it for several times.

Tang Family in Yanjing, whose several members were founding fathers of the country, is in a period of great prosperity. There has been generals from five generations of this family.

“The boy is really my younger brother. “Yan Hua doesn’t know what tone to use. She even feels a bit funny.

Because her younger brother’s name is Tang Cao...

“He is seven years younger than you.” When Lang Ruoxian mentions Tang Cao, his expression is very complicated. “He is a famous playboy in Yanjing...”

Yan Hua raises her eyebrows and says, “Not only him! According to the information, I am also a playgirl!”

According to Shu Sheng, at first he thought that information was of others, so it took him several more days to confirm it. Finally...

“Tang Family’s current head is my father’s cousin named Tang Ming, who was elected to be one of the new leadership last year and lives in the purple courtyard which used to be left to emperors to live in Yanjing.”

Even Lang Ruoxian didn’t expect Yan Hua’s identity to be so honorable.

“He has three sons and two daughters.” Yan Hua continues to read, “Three sons hold important positions, and his two daughters, one is married to an influential businessman in Yanjing business circle, and the other who is as old as me is a celebrity in the social circle.”

She pauses. “So my uncle and his family are all elites, especially compared with my family.”

Yan Hua’s father Tang Yao and Tang Ming are close cousins, but Tang Yao is a famous old playboy in Yanjing. No matter how well Tang Yao and his son Tang Cao are supported, the mediocre and incompetent father and son cannot succeed...

“My mother is even more pitiful.” Yan Hua makes clicks, “Bai Susu is the illegitimate daughter of Bai Family in Yanjing. If my grandmother hadn’t allowed her to get married with my father, she would have been sold by the legal wife.”

Lang Ruoxian touches her head. “But she is very amazing. Your father chooses not to go into politics but to go into business. The company has always been managed by your mother.”

The company of Yan Hua’s family is one of the best in Yanjing. After all, Yan Hua’s uncle backs up.

“Your childhood name is also Hua.” Lang Ruoxian says with a smile, “Like the old saying, ‘By the side of Chu River, there is a beautiful girl named Hua.’ It seems that since you were a child, you have been very beautiful. My father-in-law and mother-in-law must love you very much.”

“Yes! Otherwise, why am I called Tang Duo which means flower and my younger brother named Tang Cao which means grass?”

The name of her younger brother is given too carelessly.

“Don’t be sad.” Lang Ruoxian collects the information. “Although it is said that my father-in-law and brother-in-law are such people, there is no news about their hurting others or committing crimes.”

If it’s really like the information said, why doesn’t Tang Yao have any gossip, only loving his wife Bai Susu?

“To be honest, I am really not sad.” Yan Hua rubs her eyebrows. “I have no memory and no feeling. When I know these, I just feel like watching other people’s stories.”

Lang Ruoxian thinks deeper than this. No one found Yan Hua alive even Yan Hua’s family who had such a background. So who was the dead Yan Hua?

“Someone designed the news of my death.” Yan Hua raises her head and says word by word, “I have never known if my injury was an accident, but now it seems likely not.”

This is a conspiracy against her or Tang Family. Yan Hua doesn’t know, and she doesn’t even know whether she should go back.

“I don’t remember anything. So strictly speaking, I am Yan Hua, not Tang Duo.” Yan Hua thinks and says, “I can’t go to Yanjing, at least not to go like this.”

Lang Ruoxian’s expression is a bit strange. Then he slowly pulls out a few more sheets of paper. “There is still some other information...”

“Huh?” Yan Hua takes it. “Then why didn’t you show it to me just now?”

When she sees that the information is related to her fiancé, she is stunned. Then she asks Lang Ruoxian stupidly, “This fiancé, is the fiancé I am thinking about?”

“Don’t worry about him. You have already married me.” The man says gloomily.

It seems to be what she thinks...

Yan Hua continues to read through. It turns out that she really had a fiancé, and there had been more than one.

“When I was a baby, I was engaged to a boy, but the other party died. Later, I engaged with a member of Hua Family in Yanjing, but the man didn’t like me and eloped with a young street girl.”

Yan Hua looks through the previous information unbelievably. “It says that I was Yanjing’s First Beauty, and no one looked better than me. Was he blind to desert me and run away with a street girl?”

“Do you think it was a pity?” The man’s voice is colder.

Yan Hua rolls her eyes towards him. “You know I didn’t mean that.”

What age is it? You can say it directly if you don’t like the other party. Besides, even commercial marriages can be held in mutual respect. You can even have some secret lovers outside, but how can you elope with a young street girl?

“Sure enough, the information later mentions that our family has become the laughingstock of the whole Yanjing, especially me...” Yan Hua smiles drily. She just now felt herself to be the winner of life, being a lady from a decent family, who is fair-skinned and attractive, but just a second, she became an idiot that no one wanted.

“I was also a woman with big breasts but no brain, who was ignorant and incompetent.”

No wonder people said that except Bai Susu, she, Tang Yao and Tang Cao were all idiots and scum who sit around and waited to die.

“There’s more to come!” Yan Hua looks again. “It turns out that I was also arrogant and bullied other good girls everywhere.”

She throws away the information. “What if I prefer not to go back more now?”

This is also the reason why Lang Ruoxian does not want to show it to her. His Hua is so wonderful. How can she be what the information says?

“You definitely can’t just go back like that.” Lang Ruoxian analyzes. “We haven’t known what conspiracy is behind this. It’s too dangerous for you to go back. And there is no guarantee that you are Tang Family’s child without DNA test.”

Yan Hua nods. “Then what should we do?”

She does not want to go back under such situation, but it does not mean that she does not want to find her family. Even if her father and younger brother are as terrible as the information says, they are still her family, not to mention her mother who works hard to support her family alone.

“Let me think about it...” Lang Ruoxian hugs her. “Don’t be unhappy. If they are really bad to you then, we will stay in G City forever.”

Yan Hua suddenly thinks of something. If she really goes back, what about Lang Ruoxian? After all, this is Lang Consortium’s base camp...

The two decide to take their time. They have been waiting for so many years anyway, and it is no worse than waiting for another year. Lang Ruoxian sends Xiaokai to Yanjing in person to see if he can find anything more.

At this time, there is something wrong with Lang Consortium.

“This project has always been ours, but this year we have not been notified to participate in the internal bidding. When we know the news, dust has settled down.”

Lang Ruoxian picks up the documents. “The government’s public projects... Who did they give?”

“Shao Consortium, they got the project through internal bidding.” Shu Sheng thinks it strange. “I called the responsible Secretary Liu. He faltered and couldn’t say clearly. Finally, he said whether we had offended someone.”

Lang Ruoxian leans against the office chair and knocks on the armrest. “This was strange...”

Theoretically, Lang Consortium drives two-thirds of the economy in G Province and has always had good relations with the government. The government depends on Lang Consortium to overfulfill the tasks every year. They really achieve the situation of “Mutual Benefits.”

“Someone should hide from the government of G Province to secretly indulge in petty mean actions...” Shu Sheng mutters a sentence.

Lang Ruoxian understands immediately. “There are a lot of people out of G City, such as... Yanjing.”

Zhang Mingli has been enjoying great success recently. His sister married a relative of Wu Family in Yanjing. His brother-in-law was promoted last year and became the head of the port economy. He came to G City a few days ago, and also helped him set a trap for Lang Consortium.

“Brother-in-law! This is for you.” Zhang Mingli raises his cup. “Thanks to you for helping mom to avenge. Otherwise, I don’t even know how to give her a good explanation.”

Opposite Zhang Mingli sits a young man, white and fat, not tall, with a pair of glasses. When he smiles, he narrows eyes into a slit. Next to him there is a tall woman with a pretty face, especially her mouth, which is very sexy like that of the Europeans.

“You both should drink less.” The woman says.

“Sister!” Zhang Mingli waves his hand. “We are family, so you should let us drink as much as we like.”

Zhang Mingxia glares at him. “Your brother-in-law has a bad stomach and cannot drink that much.”

Wu Qi says cheerfully, “Your sister is right. This is our last cup! The last cup!”

“Brother-in-law, who is the young guy you bring? He is so arrogant.” Zhang Mingli has long wanted to ask this. Wu Qi comes to inspect work in G City this time, with a young guy following him.

Frankly speaking, he is not too young, in his early 20s. He is too arrogant to save others’ faces. He does everything as he wishes, and even Wu Qi has to coax him.

“Shh!” Wu Qi immediately puts down his cup and lowers his voice. “Never mind who he is. You should just know not to make him angry. Stay away from him. If you can’t hide from him, give him whatever he wants.”

Zhang Mingli is even more curious. “Brother-in-law, Sister! You just leak a bit secret to me, or I will always feel perturbed.”

“Then don’t go out and say it. Don’t tell anybody.” Wu Qi stains his finger with the liquor and writes a word on the table.

Zhang Mingli stares big eyes and covers his mouth.

Just when Lang Ruoxian finds out that Zhang Mingli is responsible for the bidding, Lang Consortium receives an invitation.

“Young Master, Wu Qi from Yanjing is Zhang Mingli’s brother-in-law. The bidding this time is what he instructed. It should be for the sake of his mother-in-law.”

Lang Ruoxian looks at the invitation. “He calculated that there’s nothing we could do about him.”

No one has stipulated that Lang Consortium must be able to participate in the internal bidding, so this time they can only take the loss.

“Shall we go?” Shu Sheng sees his expression become cold.

Lang Ruoxian throws the invitation aside. “Of course. He invited the whole G City business circle. If I don’t go, I will just give him an excuse.”

As for the loss this time... Since Zhang Mingli took the initiative to provoke, don’t blame him for returning a salute.

This weekend’s banquet is a business reception, with various enterprise representatives and businessmen from the three coastal provinces. They are all aiming at Wu Qi. Wu Family is quite powerful in Yanjing. Wu Qi is in charge of the port management this time.

The economic lifelines of the three provinces are all in the ports, and everyone wants to have a relationship with this man, but Wu Qi is anxiously trying his best to coax a young guy.
