On the morning of the 6th day of the first lunar month, Yan Huaâs custom dress is delivered to her, along with Lulu, a popular stylist in Yanjing.
âMy God! When I know youâre back, my career is shining again!â Lulu raises the orchid fingers, saying softly.
Luluâs long hair to the waist is loosely tied in the back of head. In the cold winter, Lulu just wears the silk clothes with long sleeve and a wool pant-skirt. Lulu also wears a furry faux fur coat outside when Lulu comes in.
Lang Ruoxian is speechless. He decided to monitor his wifeâs stylist before. But now he gives up. Because Lulu is a man.
Yan Hua has checked out Lulu. It is said that he comes from the south, but he has a patron. So he always does what he wants to do and chooses which one he likes to serve. Even if you spend much money, you canât invite him easily. He also has a venomous tongue and often teases some noble women who dress like shit or somethingâ¦
But no one knows why he likes Tang Duo. All rich ladies know Tang Duo is made up by Lulu whichever party she participates. Itâs useless that they feel jealous because he never cares about them.
âHoney!â Lulu calls Yan Hua and hugs her first, then stares at her face for a long time. He says exaggeratedly, âOh! Let me see⦠Fortunately, you are not old at all without any wrinkles. It seems that you are more beautiful. Is love really so important to women?â
Yan Hua smiles beautifully, âYes. You will know if you find a man to have a try.â
âAlas! I want to. But Iâve not got a suitable one.â
Thatâs true! Lulu is a homosexuality. He likes men and thinks that he is a woman.
âLet me see your dress tonight.â Lulu takes her upstairs and looks for a few seconds as he passes by Lang Ruoxian. Then Lulu covers his mouth and chuckles, âI know why you get married now. This man looks better than you!â
Yan Hua also chuckles, âYes. I havenât seen a man who looks better than my husband.â
âDoes he have any brothers?â Lulu asks her directly when they go upstairs.
Yan Hua turns around and waves her hand to Lang Ruoxian. Then she whispers to Lulu, âHe has a younger cousin which is his uncleâs son.â
âDo you have his WeChat number? I want to addâ¦â
Lang Ruoxian sits down on the sofa with a straight face. Chang Peiâe smiles and pats him, âDonât mind it. Lulu has no malice. He just likes Hua very much. They are good sisters.â
âGrandma, I donât mind.â Lang Ruoxianâs eyes are soften down and he says, âDonât worry. I know which one is good for Hua.â
Chang Peiâe nods and talks a lot again.
âYou know we spoil Hua. But you donât know how cute she was when she was a child.â
âWhen she was in primary school, she had a good relationship with her classmates. On her 12th birthday, her grandfather gave her a birthday party in the hotel. As a result, none of the children came. She dressed beautifully that day and waited at the door for three hours by herself.â
âThe next day when she went to school, she heard her close friendsâ words. They said in the toilet that they hated Hua so much because she was good-looking and teased the male classmates.â
âThat day, she avoided the driver who picked her up and ran away alone. Her grandpa found her in the heavy rain. Then he was sick and went to hospital that night. Hua cried sadly, kneeling in front of the sickbed and refusing to leave.â
âWhen her grandpa was well, he often told her that people should treat themselves well during their lives and they shouldnât hurt others and commit crimes. As for what other people said, it was someone elseâs business. He always said that his granddaughter was so beautiful and smart. These kids were jealous of her.â
âAnd then, Huaâs character becomes what it is now.â Chang Peiâe seems to recall her memory. Then she suddenly finds that Lang Ruoxian listens to her carefully. Chang Peiâe canât help laughing. âThank you, Ruoxian.â She says, âI used to worry that although we spoiled her, who would continue to spoil her when we leftâ¦â
Lang Ruoxian takes a cup of tea and puts it in Chang Peiâeâs hand. He says, âGrandma, Iâll be there later. I should thank you. Thank you for letting Hua grow up without worry. Iâm glad to know that she has been so happy since childhood.â
âYou are a good and smart boy.â Chang Peiâeâs eyes become sharp. She says, âDonât worry. I can still live for several years. No one in Yanjing dares to aim at you with me.â
Todayâs dinner is held at Tang Familyâs hotel. Although itâs not the best hotel in Yanjing, they can rest assured in their own hotel.
Chen Xiaopang asks, âWhen will our sister come?â Tang Cao was sent by Bai Susu to the hotel in the afternoon to keep watch on the banquet. Chen Xiaopang came back from abroad yesterday. He also comes here with Tang Cao.
Chen Xiaopang asks him every five minutes. Tang Cao is tired to answer him.
âDo you see the waitress over there?â Tang Cao points at the waitress.
Chen Xiaopang has a look at her and says, âWhatâs wrong?â
âShe is a girl! Go to talk with her!â
Chen Xiaopang puts his arms around his chest and sneers, âTang Cao, I didnât expect you to be such a person. What day is it today? Itâs a great day for our elder sister. Can I tease any girl on such a day? Do you think Iâm like you? You have such a low level of thoughts. Do you forget what the Party and people teach you?â
âDamn. How dare you talk about the Party? The Party wants to kill you and you hurt so many people. Youâ¦â
âTong Yue is coming!â Chen Xiaopang interrupts him and whispers, âHe didnât go home in the New Year but went to his motherâs hometown in Gannan.â
Tang Cao sneers, âIf I were him, I would go home every day and not give that position to that mistress and illegitimate son.â
When Tong Yue comes over, he immediately asks, âHave your brother-in-law come?â
âNoâ¦â Tang Cao is stunned, then he says, âDo you want to talk about it with him today?â
Tong Yue adjusts his glasses and says, âDo you know how many people outside stare at your brother-in-lawâs projects that worth 500 million?â
âWe wouldnât lose anything if they stare at us.â Tang Cao says indifferently.
Chen Xiaopang nods, âAnyway, we are on the same side. Brother Ruoxian wouldnât refuse us.â
Tong Yue rubs between his eyebrows. He doesnât want to explain more to these idiots.
âHey!â Tang Cao feels uncomfortable. He says, âHow do you look at us?â
âI just see two idiots.â Tong Yue says gloomily, âListen, if you dare not talk to your brother-in-law, you should find a chance to let me meet him alone. Otherwiseâ¦â
Tang Cao swallows, âDo⦠Do you want to beat me? I⦠I will tell your mom!â
âHave you ever seen I fight?â
Tang Cao and Chen Xiaopang shake their heads together.
âWhy do you think I will beat you?â Tong Yue loosens his tie and says, âI will order a room to have a rest. Remember what Iâve told you.â
When he leaves, Chen Xiaopang drags Tang Caoâs sleeve and says, âYou canât forget his words, otherwise he will make you in trouble.â
Tang Cao has a look at him and says, âDamn, I forget that guy always makes people in trouble by using his intelligence. He never pays for what he does.â
At 8 oâclock in the evening, many luxury cars gather at the gate of hotel. Tonight, the hotel becomes a private place and only people with invitation could come in. All the Tang Family comes here besides Tang Ming whose identity is not suitable to come.
âZiyan!â Several ladies wave their hands to Tang Ziyan when they see her coming in.
Tang Ziyan wears a white yarn dress tonight. The overlapping voile looks so beautiful as she walks, which makes her like a fairy.
Someone asks her, âHave you seen Tang Duo?â
Tang Ziyan makes her lips tight and says, âYes. We are cousins. I of course saw her when she just came back.â
âDoes sheâ¦â Another girl touches her face and says, âDoes she look older?â
âYou think too much.â Tang Ziyan sneers, âShe wonât get old even if you are old.â
All people is shocked, âShe has given birth to a kid. Doesnât she become a little ugly?â
âYou will know when she comes here.â Tang Ziyan doesnât want to talk about Tang Duo at all.
But a young lady says, âI think itâs great that Tang Duo comes back. At least she is better than the hypocritical woman of Dong Family.â
âYes!â Another two ladies agree with her. âIf I have to choose one to envy, I would rather choose Tang Duo.â
âShe is coming! The hypocritical woman comes here.â
There is a commotion outside the door, and the girl in the red dress comes in. The upper part of the dress tightly wraps her plump chest. And its boat neck shows her sexy clavicles. Her dress becomes full under her waist, like a blooming red rose.
âItâs Dong Nianshuang!â Someone calls her name.
âShe comes with Bai Jingzhu!â A girl around Tang Ziyan whispers.
Tang Ziyan has a look at her and says, âWhy do you feel shocked? Her elder sister is Bai Jingzhuâs sister-in-law. They are always close to each other.â
âLet me tell you! Dong Nianshuang said Bai Jingzhu was an idiot behind her. She said Bai Jingzhu knew nothing but liked to talk too much.â A short hair lady sneers, âBut Bai Jingzhu is so stupid that she always closes to Dong Nianshuang.â
Bai Family also comes here. When Dong Nianqiu sees her younger sister, she says few words to her mother-in-law and then comes to pull Dong Nianshuang into the corner.
Dong Nianqiu blames her, âWhy do you wear a red dress?â
Dong Nianshuang smiles, âNianqiu, why canât I wear red dress?â
âDo you forget that Tang Duo likes red? She must wear a red dress in todayâs occasion. Youâ¦â
âWhatâs the matter?â Dong Nianshuang interrupts her, âI used to be too young to compare with her. Now she is old and itâs my time. I must dress the same as her to let people know who is the most beautiful woman in Yanjing.â
âShe is only 27 years old. How could she become old?â
Dong Nianshuang looks at her elder sister and says, âDo you forget what you said after you gave birth to the first child at the age of 27?â
Dong Nianqiu is speechless. She said that she was old at that time. And she spent much money to deal with the lines around her eyes and her spots. She is not a girl anymore and has to go to the beauty parlor twice a week now.
âI mean why you want to win her. She has been married and gave birth to a kid.â
âI remember that she was always arrogant and the center in every activity.â Dong Nianshuangâs eyes become glassy. She says, âAt that time, Iâve told myself that I must make all people pay attention to me one day.â
Dong Nianqiu doesnât know why her younger sister cares about it so much. She shakes her head and says, âDonât forget that you are her aunt according to the family hierarchy.â
âHah, come on. I only have an elder sister who is you. She is just a bastardâs daughter. How could Iâ¦â
âShut up!â Dong Nianqiu covers her mouth directly and scolds, âHow could you say that here? Be clear now.â
Dong Nianshuang pushes her hands away and says, âI didnât say loudly. You hurt me.â
âYou are a public figure. I donât need to tell you what you should do.â Dong Nianqiu warns her, âI donât care if you want compare with Tang Duo. But donât embarrass Bai Susu on such occasions. She is not only Bai Susu, but also Mrs. Tang.â
