Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 217 This Family Is Magical, Isn’t It?

“I refused.”

Lang Ruoxian says on the other side of the phone.

“Then will you pick me up?”

Yan Hua having hung up the phone, Fang Diandian asks, “Is that Mr. Lang?”

“Well, he will come to pick me up after work.”

“Sister Duo, please don’t tell Mr. Lang that I am in the same school with Professor Qiang!”

Yan Hua wonders, “Why?”

“In case he knows and prevents me from coming to the professor later, I will not be able to help you monitor them.”

Yan Hua is speechless again.

Being afraid that Lang Ruoxian will ask about her, Fang Diandian leaves in advance. Yan Hua looks at a large table of dishes and has to eat slowly alone. Lang Ruoxian gets off the car and sees Yan Hua leisurely eating through the French window of the hotel. He stands still and looks at her for a minute until Yan Hua finds him and waves at him.

“What were you looking at?” When the man comes over, Yan Hua asks.

The waiter pulls open the opposite chair, but Lang Ruoxian waves his hand and sits down next to Yan Hua.

“I was looking at a beauty.” The man sides his head to look at her.

Yan Hua smiles and nods. “Well, I am also looking at a beauty now.”

The beauty smiles like a flower. Lang Ruoxian can’t help kissing her. “Have you had enough?”

“I am full. Would you like to eat some, too?”

Lang Ruoxian doesn’t have supper. Yan Hua adds two more dishes for him and they go back together after the dinner.

On the way, she remembers Qiang Di. “What is her purpose to meet you?”

“It should be all right.” Lang Ruoxian gives her a look. “I won’t eat alone with her.”

“You know I don’t mind this.” Yan Hua shakes her head. “I just want to know what she thinks.”

After crossing more than half of the country from south to north, Qiang Di can’t just want to stay in the same city with them. Yan Hua thinks that the best way to solve some potential unstable factors is to try her best to solve them, and don’t wait for something to happen before she regrets it.

“My method is simple and crude.” Lang Ruoxian takes Yan Hua’s hand and touches it. “I’m busy.”

In the following days, Qiang Di invites Lang Ruoxian to meet almost every weekend, but Lang Ruoxian never agrees her. Qiang Di threatens him with anger.

“If you refuse again, I will go to the company to find you.”

Lang Ruoxian hangs up the phone directly. Yan Hua feels that the problem of Qiang Di must be solved after hearing this. She simply asks Lang Ruoxian to invite her to dinner at home.

“You see, you take her as your sister. She is the only bond left by your elder brother. We can’t leave her alone, so we should let her become a family.”

Yan Hua actually had this idea long ago, but the time was not right before. Now is the right time for the Tang Family members to meet Qiang Di.

“I don’t think she is black-hearted. She is just... just too lonely.” Yan Hua can’t find a suitable word to describe her.

Whatever she says Lang Ruoxian has no objection. He calls Qiang Di to ask her to come home for dinner this weekend.

“To Tang Family’s house?” After hearing this, Qiang Di stares blankly for a few seconds. “Are you sure?”

“Hua invites you to come and the family would like to meet you.” Lang Ruoxian doesn’t cheat her. As early as Bai Susu knew his life story, she said that they would like to meet Qiang Di.

Qiang Di agrees, and only she knows that she is very uneasy about the agreeing. She even changes clothes several times that day, and finally she is angry with herself and feels worthless.

Isn’t it to meet Yan Hua’s family? What’s so terrible?

“Sister, do you think life is as lonely as snow?” Tang Cao squints at her when he knows.

Yan Hua is chatting in the group. The small group includes her, Fei Ying and Chen Hong. Without raising her head, she replies, “No, but I have long been used to loneliness. After all, not everyone looks so good as me.”

“... Then why did you invite your rival in love home?”

“She is not a rival in love.” Yan Hua raises her head. “Don’t be weird when she comes in the evening.”

Tang Cao curls his lips. “She regards my brother-in-law as body double. Plus my brother-in-law’s elder brother died for him. This favor will have to be remembered by you for the rest of her life, and that woman will allow you to have this burden for the rest of your life.”

Seeing that she has not response, Tang Cao simply leans in front of her face and says, “Wake up, Sister! Why did you open the door to a dangerous woman?”

“I told you she wasn’t.” Yan Hua glances at him. “Why do you stay at home today?”

Tang Cao answers, “I... I am afraid that you will be bullied. I specially reject the dinner party to protect you at home.”

“No, you’d better go to the dinner party!” Yan Hua smiles. “Let alone I don’t need protection, even if I need, there are so many people in the family and it won’t be you. Or... Did you spend all the money grandma gave you last time?”

“I spent it all early, I...” Tang Cao covers his mouth. “I didn’t say anything!”

Yan Hua touches his head. “So you have no money again?”

“... I have.” Tang Cao is listless. “There is still 5,000 yuan left.”

5,000 yuan is enough to spend a month in ordinary people’s homes, but not enough for the childes like Tang Cao to sing karaoke one night.

“Don’t talk nonsense in the evening and I’ll give you 50,000 yuan.”

Tang Cao’s eyes light up. “Really?”

Ding! Tang Cao’s mobile phone rings, and it is the sound of his Alipay receiving the money.

“I’ll give you 20,000 first, and 30,000 tomorrow if you behave yourself.” Yan Hua knows Tang Cao too well. Nobody can stop him from making a fuss except money. If he really says something in the evening, her wish will be in vain.

“Sister, rest assured! I’ll zip my mouth now and make sure I won’t say a word in the evening!”

In the evening, Qiang Di comes to Tang Family’s house on time and Yan Hua opens the door.

“Long time no see.” Qiang Di hands over a gift bag, “Thank you for inviting me.”

Yan Hua sees that she is obviously dressed up. Although she looks very decent, her occasionally wandering eyes betray that she is actually nervous.

“Qiang Di grew up in an orphanage since her childhood. She had no relatives, and then the only family member was my elder brother.” Yan Hua’s heart softens when she thinks of what Lang Ruoxian said. The girl is afraid. She doesn’t know how to get along with family.

To face so many Tang Family members at once, Qiang Di must have a lot of pressure. However, she comes bravely. Yan Hua can’t help smiling. “Come on in. You’re welcome!”

Qiang Di thinks her smile is strange, but this is not the time to pay attention to this.

“Hello, Aunt and Uncle. I am Qiang Di.” Seeing Bai Susu and Tang Yao in the sitting room, Qiang Di hurriedly greets them.

Tang Yao says, “Oh, you are not like our... Ah...”

Bai Susu withdraws her hand. “Haha, don’t mind. Your uncle is trying to say that you are not as tall as our northerners, but you are small, exquisite and very beautiful. Come on, let’s go to the dining room and get ready for dinner!”

“Dad!” Tang Cao, who is walking behind, grabs Tang Yao and whispers, “Did you just want to say that she is not as beautiful as my sister?”

Tang Yao rubs the back of his head. “Yes, your mother is getting stronger and stronger. Ouch, it hurts so much. By the way, didn’t you also say yesterday that this girl visits us without good intention? Why didn’t you just talk?”

If you take 50,000 yuan, you will say nothing. Haha.

“I wanted to say it, but I didn’t say it when I saw my mother slap you.”

Tang Yao gives him a slap. “Why are you so cunning? I won’t say, either!”

“No! You have to say.” Tang Cao cheats his father. “What if my sister is bullied?”

Tang Yao thinks it right. He has to keep an eye on that girl and then runs to the dining room.

“My grandmother doesn’t know you are coming, and she can’t be back off her friend’s birthday party today. She specially asks me to tell you to come often in the future.” Yan Hua puts the fruit tea in front of Qiang Di. “Taste it. My mother made it. You can’t drink it outside.”

Qiang Di quickly takes a sip and says solemnly, “It’s delicious. Thank you, Aunt.”

She also secretly glances at Yan Hua and obviously doesn’t want to thank her.

“Drink more if you like!” Bai Susu tells her. “I hear that you grew up abroad and ask our house maid to make steak specially. I don’t know if it is to your liking. Try it quickly.”

Qiang Di cuts a large piece to put into her mouth and says, “It’s delicious.”

Such a big bite! Isn’t she afraid to choke?

Yan Hua twitches the corners of the mouth. Lang Ruoxian glances at her, raising his eyebrows.

“Nothing.” Yan Hua leans in and whispers, “Actually, Qiang Di is quite lovely.”

“Not as lovely as you.” Lang Ruoxian cuts the steak for her.

Seeing the two of them so affectionate, Qiang Di’s face changes color obviously, but Bai Susu has been talking to her, she can’t embarrass Bai Susu. As a result, she laughs this second and glares at Yan Hua the next second. It is hard for her to repeat well so many times.

“We have a few friends who like your paintings very much. We will certainly go to see your next exhibition.” Bai Susu has talked to her on some intimate topics, but she suddenly sees the girl who is still smiling sweetly stares at her.

“I’m sorry!” Qiang Di is panicked. She wants to stare at Yan Hua, but she takes the wrong turn.

Yan Hua is almost dying of laughter. Then Tang Yao, who keeps looking for a chance to speak all night, feels that he finally has a place to use. You young girl dares to stare at my wife!

“You...”

“Tang Yao, go upstairs and see if Wuyou and Gungun finish eating.” He just says a word and is interrupted by Bai Susu.

Wuyou and Gungun eat in the room. Tang Yao asks dully, “I... I’ll go?”

“Otherwise?” Bai Susu asks with a smile.

Tang Yao shivers. “I’ll go! I’ll go! I’ll go right away.”

He pushes open the chair and runs away.

“Don’t mind!” Bai Susu fills a bowl of soup for Qiang Di with. “Your uncle is quite funny.” She also looks at her son, who is sitting on the edge of the table, eating hard all night.

Strange... Why is this boy so quiet today?

Tang Cao suddenly trembles. “I’m full. Please enjoy it!” He stands up and turns around, then turns back to smile at Qiang Di with special enthusiasm. “Miss Qiang Di, take your time, be sure to eat well and feel the warmth like the spring breeze of our family.”

“Never mind.” Bai Susu looks at the younger son who runs away and squeezes out a smile. “My son is also quite funny, hahaha...”

Qiang Di: Is this family magical...

After dinner, Yan Hua invites Qiang Di to take a walk. There is a big artificial garden behind the villa. It is neither cold nor hot.

“In fact, you don’t want to see me at all, do you?” Qiang Di speaks first.

Yan Hua lowers her head. Qiang Di can see Yan Hua’s smile from her perspective.

“Not really. I hope you regard me as your family. This is also what Ruoxian hopes.”

“So you invited me to your house?” Qiang Di smiles mockingly. “Yes, you have a home. You used to have nothing but Lang Ruoxian. But now you have memory, family and social status.”

“What can I compare with you?” Qiang Di sighs and sides her head to say, “I really hate you.”
