Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 93 Woman’s Scheme

“Do you need me to take you back?” Huang Rong checks the time. “Let’s have dinner together tonight! There’s a new hotpot restaurant behind our school.”

“The landlady is coming today. I told her last time that the water pipes were aging. So the landlady will come with a plumber. You’re not on my way, either. I can go home by taxi.” But Xue Juan says, “Besides, there will be a traffic jam now. If we got caught in traffic, it would be hard to go home.”

“Okay. Let’s contact later!”

Seeing Huang Rong’s car goes away, Xue Juan returns to the hospital.

Lang Ruoxian is reexamined. The doctor says that he is fine and he should pay attention to the rest. As Yan Hua pushes him with his wheelchair to the elevator, Xue Juan comes out of the next elevator and rushes to them.

“Miss Xue?” Yan Hua sees her and says in surprise, “Haven’t you left?”

Xue Juan enters the elevator. She says with some embarrassment, “The elder in my family isn’t well recently. So I just went to see a doctor for consultation.”

“Is Mr. Lang fine?” She looks at Lang Ruoxian. “I’m so sorry. You would not have been involved in it without us.”

Lang Ruoxian looks at her blankly. “It’s nothing to do with you. It’s an accident.”

“Well, I heard from Rong that we haven’t found the diamonds yet. If we couldn’t find them all the time, would some people get us in trouble again?”

Yan Hua says, “I hope not. This case will become an injustice without finding any criminals.”

“But why doesn’t the owner of that jewelry store want diamonds?” Xue Juan asks with her head to one side. Her round face looks lovely. “They are all diamonds. Are they different from other diamonds?”

“You should ask him.” Yan Hua smiles, “He doesn’t want the diamonds. We have no idea.”

When the elevator reaches the first floor, Xue Juan helps Yan Hua lift the wheelchair out of the elevator. Yan Hua asks her, “Where are you going? We can give you a ride.”

“Is it convenient?” Xue Juan is embarrassed, “I’ll go to the company.”

“Huang Consortium, right?” Yan Hua asks the bodyguards to lift Lang Ruoxian into the car. “We’re convenient. Let’s go!”

When they arrive at Huang Consortium, Xue Juan smiles and waves goodbye to them. But Yan Hua feels something strange when she looks at her warm smiling face.

“Do you feel that...” She doesn’t continue to ask her question. Because that she doesn’t know what to ask.

Lang Ruoxian says nothing all the way. But this time, he suddenly raises his hand and pokes her forehead. “It’s almost Spring Festival.”

“Yeah. What’s wrong?”

Is it an important festival for you? She thinks.

“Lang Xing will come.” He says.

Yan Hua is stunned, “It’s because of Shu Yafei, isn’t it?”

“It’s their wrong. They owe you because they didn’t deal with justice.” Lang Ruoxian curls his mouth. “You don’t need to be polite to him whatever he says to you. Even if you treat him badly, Grandpa will compensate you something. Don’t hesitate to accept them.”

“As for Shu Yafei...” The man looks somber in his eyes. “She will not stay quietly in the north. As long as she dares to come back, no one can save her at that time.”

Yan Hua looks away silently. She feels a little sympathy for Shu Yafei. Then she feels warm in her heart.

“Well... Actually, you don’t need to do this for me...”

“She has harmed you several times. So I can’t let her go.” Lang Ruoxian pulls Yan Hua’s hands down on his leg with his hands slowly. “I’ll feel sad if I make you angry. How dare those people bully you?”

Yan Hua is so happy to hear that.

No, she can’t do that! She thinks.

“You... Don’t talk nonsense.” She retracts her hands. “Be careful. What if other people see us?”

Lang Ruoxian looks at her and laughs so heavily, “Just let them see. It’s no big deal that we make headline again.”

“I don’t want to make the headline.” Yan Hua shows the whites of her eye. She looks at her mobile phone and ignores him.

Lang Ruoxian keeps staring at her all the time. When they arrive at Lang’s mansion, Yan Hua escapes from the car quickly and rushes into the living room. Then she finally lets out a sigh of relief.

“Mommy?” A fat little boy stands in front of her suddenly and stares at her. “Is there a bad man?”

Yan Hua looks around. She finds that Lang Cha is sitting on the sofa in great state but looks at them in secret.

“No... Mommy is just thirsty...” Yan Hua quickly goes to the kitchen, “I just want to come back to drink water quickly.”

Seeing that Yan Hua runs into the kitchen, Gungun also wants to follow her. But the bodyguard pushes Lang Ruoxian with his wheelchair to come in at that time.

“Uncle!” Gungun runs to him and stretches his hands happily.

Lang Ruoxian holds him on his legs. Gungun pats his head. “Are you thirsty?”

“I’m not thirsty.” Lang Ruoxian looks at Yan Hua, who hides in the kitchen to drink water. She stretches her head to peep at them. He laughs, “Mommy is thirsty. She talks too much.”

Gungun nods. He slides down from Lang Ruoxian’s legs. Then he runs to Yan Hua and raises his little head to look at her.

“What... What’s wrong?” Yan Hua squats down to look at him and their eyes are level. Suddenly, she has a bad presentiment.

So she covers his mouth quickly as Gungun opens his mouth.

“Beating chicken... Uh, uh, uh.”

It’s so dangerous that Gungun’s going to say this word. Yan Hua is fear of that. She hugs Gungun in her arms and says to Lang Cha, “Grandpa, Gungun told me that he wants to pee. Let me take him to the bathroom.”

After they go upstairs, Lang Cha coughs to draw others attention. Then he asks Lang Ruoxian with a straight face, “What did the doctor say?”

“I’m fine. I will recover after half a month.” Lang Ruoxian slowly stands up and sits on the sofa.

Lang Cha feels a little awkward, “The thing about Yafei...”

“Grandpa, you should talk to Yan Hua about that. I’m not the victim.” Lang Ruoxian says with a faint smile, “But it’s useless to say anything. You’ve sent her to another place.”

Lang Cha stares at him, “What else should we do? She is Lang Xing’s only kid. She’ll take care of him when he is old. Besides, she is just a little girl. What do you think what we should do?”

“I didn’t say anything. Why are you always so excited?” Lang Ruoxian is going to pour water for Lang Cha with his hands.

Uncle Lee is beside him. He quickly picks up the cup and says, “You don’t need to do this, Childe Ruoxian. Let me do it!”

“Lang Xing will come here during the Spring Festival. He said that he would apologize to Yan Hua personally. I don’t believe Yan Hua will be as narrow-minded as you are.” Lang Cha snorts. “It’s over now. Do you hear me?”

Lang Ruoxian shrugs. “As long as she doesn’t appear in front me anymore, I won’t care about her. Grandpa, you know why she did those things. So if she turns back to disgust me, please don’t blame me for I don’t give you face.”

“I see.” Lang Cha is sulky. “Lang Xing has sent her to the north. He won’t ask her to come back except something happens.”

One day, Huang Rong has dinner with Xue Juan. Xue Juan suddenly claims that she is going to resign.

“Why? Did someone bully you in the company?” Huang Rong is shocked.

Xue Juan quickly stops her, “No. I don’t cause troubles. I just graduated from college. No one would bully me.”

“But why do you resign?”

Xue Juan eats a mouthful of food, “I want to move house. The landlady wants to increase the rent. I can bear that. But she also wants me to pay half the money for changing water pipes.”

“She is a great bully.” Huang Rong drops the chopsticks. “Let me talk to her!”

“It’s useless.” Xue Juan signs, “The middle-aged woman who is my neighbor told me that the landlady didn’t want to let me live any more. There is a new restaurant in front of the community. So they want to rent her house as a staff dormitory. And they can give her more money.”

Huang Rong chuckles with angry, “It’s obvious that she wants to drive you away!”

“Yes. So I find another house. It’s coincident that the house is in the street behind Lang Consortium. Maybe I will try to find a job there.” Xue Juan adds, “Or I will find a new job in the company around you. But it’s too far away from your company.”

She says the address of her new house. Huang Rong thinks for a moment, “It’s far enough and not in the same district. It takes two hours to go there. And it takes at least one hour to go there by subway.”

“Have you rented the house?” Huang Rong wonders, “Why do you rent a house before you find a new job?”

Xue Juan laughs proudly, “I’m not silly. That house belongs to my neighbor’s daughter and it is for rent. I thought it was too far away. But after I went to see it. I found it’s very good. The rent is the same as it is now. And the environment is much better.”

“You often help a middle-aged woman carry things and get express delivery. Does this neighbor’s daughter rent you a house?” Huang Rong is somewhat impressed. “No wonder. It must be a bargain for you.”

Xue Juan nods heavily, “So I don’t want to miss it. I tried to hand in resume to Lang Consortium. And I never expected that I passed!”

At the end of the year, every company has an annual meeting. Lang Ruoxian’s wound has completely healed. So he and Lang Li take part in the annual meeting together.

“Are you sure you can convince shareholders?” On the car, Lang Li is not confident, “If not, I will personally chair the shareholders’ meeting after the Spring Festival.”

“Don’t worry. Dad.” Lang Ruoxian smiles, “After the Spring Festival, they will beg me to come back.”

Lang Li frowns. “What did you do?”

“You will know then.”

Although Lang Ruoxian has not been appointed now. But he is still Lang Li’s son, which is like a living sign. More and more people come to talk with him at the annual meeting. When he finally finds a quiet place to avoid these people, he hears another quarrel in the corner.

“Sorry. I just treat you as my superior.” It’s a woman’s voice.

Then there is a man’s flirtatious voice, “I can be your superior or something else. I’ve hinted at you many times. I don’t believe that you don’t know what I mean.”

“Mr. Li, please find someone else. I really can’t.” It sounds that the woman is a little anxious, even with a crying voice.

“Ah. I like this kind of woman like you best.” The man smiles filthily.

Then it seems that the man touches the woman. The woman wants to shout. But her mouth is covered and she just makes a dull voice.

Lang Ruoxian rubs his eyebrows and goes out. He doesn’t know the man. The company is so big that he can’t know everyone. But he knows the woman. No wonder her voice is familiar.

“Lang...Mr. Lang?” The man finds someone coming. But he didn’t expect that the man is Lang Ruoxian. He is so frightened that he immediately lets the woman go.

The woman, like a frightened rabbit, hides behind Lang Ruoxian and whines. It sounds seductive and pitiful.

“Mr. Lang, I...I’m just kidding her! Hah. Xue, don’t take it seriously. I...I should go first. Someone is waiting for me over there. Hah, hah. Mr. Lang, goodbye, goodbye! “

Lang Ruoxian turns around and finds the woman is looking at him timidly. She wears a pink skirt to show her charming figure. Her big eyes are full of fear and excitement.

“Mr. Lang. Thank you!”

Xue Juan blushes, “If you didn’t come, I won’t know what would happen today.”

“It’s all right.” Lang Ruoxian raises his hand and interrupts her, “Next time, pay attention to not being alone with men.”

After saying that, he turns around and leaves.

Xue Juan is in a daze. That’s... That’s it?
