Chapter 289: Chapter 289 - Bai Jingzhu Has Been Back

Chapter 289 Bai Jingzhu Has Been BackTang Ming and Tang Jie leave. Tang Yao looks at Lang Ruoxian with a worship expression.

“Ruoxian, how do you think of it! It is excellent.”

Even if Tang Ming knows that Lang Ruoxian did it, but Tang Ziyan wanted to harm Tang Duo first, Lang Ruoxian just paid back in kind. Tang Ming has to grind his teeth to swallow the hatred however angry or unwilling he is.

Otherwise… As long as he dares to investigate, the first one who will get punished is Tang Ziyan.

“Tang Ming would never dare to bully and oppress us openly.” Lang Ruoxian accepts praise from his father-in-law. “But in private, he must hate us to death.”

Bai Susu smiles. “According to his character, if he retaliates against us, he will attack Tang Consortium.”

Tang Ming attaches importance to power and benefits. In his eyes, the most terrible revenge to the second branch is to let Tang Consortium close down, and step down the members of second branch on the soles of his feet, waiting for them to fawn on him because of poverty.

“He will use all the funds to block Tang Consortium.” Lang Ruoxian looks relaxed. “I have been looking for an opportunity to let him jump into the trap. Now that he is too impatient to wait himself.”

Tang Yao’s eyes are shining and he thinks his son-in-law to be the smartest person in the world.

“Are you a devil?” Tang Cao shivers. Fortunately, this guy is his brother-in-law, otherwise he will be too terrible if he is their enemy!

Yan Hua is not surprised at all. How can this compare with that Lang Ruoxian spent a few years to revenge Lang Li and Lang Hongyue?

“This is just the beginning.” Lang Ruoxian glances at Yan Hua. “My aim is not to get the money of the first branch, but to make the people who harmed Hua at that time pay the price.”

Huo Liyun who stays far in Mi Country hears on the phone that Tang Ziyan was poured with sulfuric acid, which scares her to drop her mobile phone.

“What was the matter? How could someone pour sulfuric acid on her?” Huo Liyun picks up her mobile phone. “Was it a terrorist activity?”

Tang Jie tells her not to get excited. “Someone did it on purpose. The man has been arrested by the police. Ziyan is still in coma. We can’t know the specific reason until she wakes up.”

“Besides, dad fainted because he was too sad, but there was no big problem.”

He doesn’t mention that it had something to do with the second branch, because Huo Liyun’s temper would make her definitely call the second branch to scold them if she knew it. If the second branch members miff and make things worse, it is they who will suffer losses.

No one notices the surprise on Tang Rui’s face when he hears Tang Ziyan had been poured with sulfuric acid. When Huo Liyun hangs up the phone, he hurriedly asks, “What was the matter with little sister, Mom?”

“What evil have I done?” Huo Liyun cries bitterly. “Your sister was poured with sulfuric acid by some unknown bastard and hasn’t woken up yet.”

There is a depressed expression in Tang Rui’s eyes. He scolds Tang Ziyan to be useless in his mind. He hopes that she’s smart enough not to get him involved…

Huo Liyun cries, and still can’t help worrying. She lets Tang Yu stay and take care of Tang Rui. She books a plane ticket to return home.

Tang Ziyan wakes up the next morning. The anesthetic on her face has lost efficacy and she feels terrible pain.

“Ah ah ah…” She opens her eyes and begins to scream. Tang Jie hurriedly calls the doctor to come over. Then the doctor injects her with a sedative and she slowly calms, lying motionless.

“Ziyan.” Tang Ming stands at the edge of the hospital bed. “What’s the use of your crying now? Tell me the whole thing.”

Tang Ziyan’s face only shows two eyes, dark with despair. She blankly stares at the Tang Ming. “Dad… Can my face still be cured?”

“Don’t worry, little sister. We will arrange you to go abroad for treatment. Foreign technology is advanced and can definitely cure your face.” Tang Jie pats her. “So you should no longer be excited and it is not good for your health.”

“Now tell me, what was on earth the matter?” Tang Ming is furious. “Did you hire someone to harm Tang Duo?”

Tang Ziyan shrinks under the gaze of Tang Ming. “Dad… Dad, I’m so sad now, but you still force me to talk about these. I…”

“If you don’t say clearly, how can I get justice for you?” Tang Ming impatiently raises his hand. “Quickly say it. And, tell me the truth. I want to hear the truth.”

Tang Ziyan is in torment. For a moment she even thinks why she can’t confess Tang Rui out? Even if she harmed Tang Duo at that time, how can they deal with her since it has passed so long…

However, she thinks that Tang Duo’s family loves her so ardently and she has a husband who loves her so deeply. If they know that she harmed Tang Duo…

Tang Ziyan shakes her head.

“I… I envied Tang Duo. I was unwilling. Why did she have everything? Clearly my family background is better than hers and my education background is better than hers. How could she…”

Hearing his daughter constant cursing, Tang Ming takes a deep breath. “If it weren’t for your injury now, I really want to beat you to death!”

“Dad, Ziyan can’t cry now, you…”

Tang Ming waves his hand to stop his saying. “Your mother will come back tomorrow and let her take good care of your sister. When the doctor says that she can have surgery, she will be sent abroad.”

“Dad!” Tang Ziyan says suddenly. “It is Tang Duo who harmed me. She did it on purpose!”

On that day, someone in the beauty salon called her and said that a machine returned from abroad could whiten skin instantly without any side effects. Tang Ziyan was tempted by what she said. She didn’t know that Tang Duo went to the same beauty salon with her. As a result, she had the experience like a nightmare after going in.

“I didn’t know what they had me drink, so I couldn’t say anything, and then I didn’t have the strength. They also changed my clothes and took me out of the beauty salon.”

It was not until then that Tang Ziyan realized what was going on. She became Tang Duo’s replacement. When Liang Ruifang appeared, she desperately wanted to speak but couldn’t make a sound. She wanted to run but couldn’t move. She could only watch helplessly as the sulfuric acid was poured over.

She will never forget that despair.

“What do you want?” Tang Ming has been holding up the anger but now he can’t endure. “You were stupid and tried to set a trap to harm Tang Duo. Now you can’t stand to eat your own bitter fruit. Do you want to make things worse? You will be the first to be punished!”

Tang Ziyan cries painfully. “Do you just want me to leave it at that? My pain, my face…”

“You don’t have to worry about these.” Tang Ming sees his daughter such a look and also feels bad in his heart. “Your top priority is to have a good treatment. Everything must wait till next year. There will be changing the term of office soon, and nothing can go wrong now. Do you hear me?”

Tang Ziyan says nothing. When Tang Ming leaves, Tang Jie pats her on the shoulder. “Ziyan, however wronged you feel, don’t do stupid things again. You know that your follow-up treatment needs a large sum of money, not to mention the payment for the plastic surgery. Listen to dad obediently and he will take the responsibility for a decision for you.”

“I see, Brother Jie.” Tang Ziyan’s voice is flat. “Thank you! Where is my mobile phone?”

Tang Jie gives her the mobile phon. “Is your hand okay?”

“The fingers are not wrapped and they can move.” Tang Ziyan puts her mobile phone on her chest. “Brother Jie, can you leave me alone for a moment?”

“Well, ring the bell if you need anything.”

Tang Rui receives her phone call and his first sentence is as follows.

“You didn’t confess me out, did you?”

“No.” Tang Ziyan feels it very ironic. She still unexpectedly holds the hope that Tang Rui will worry about her.

The voice on the other side of the phone seems relaxed. “You’re smart. By the way, is your face all right?”

“Do you think the face was poured with sulfuric acid will be all right?”

Tang Rui still says with an indifferent tone. “Oh, now that science and technology are so advanced that people can change their faces, let alone disfigurement. You can come abroad to do the plastic surgery and your face will be all right.”

“By the way, you are really useless.” Tang Rui changes his tone. “Such a trivial didn’t you do well. And you were framed by others. It seems that I underestimated Lang Ruoxian, and I have to think about other ways to deal with him.”

Tang Ziyan grinds her teeth and endures his blaming. “No matter what you want to do later, it has nothing to do with me. Besides, I have been disfigured for your sake. Don’t threaten me in the future, or I shall choose desperate fighting.”

“What do you mean?”

“Ah, Brother Rui. You are behind this incident. If you threaten me again, I will tell Lang Ruoxian that you let me do it. We both leave a handle to each other now, so don’t let me do anything for you in the future.”

Lang Ruoxian hears the conversation between them.

“She is not too stupid.” He smiles faintly with satisfaction. “If Tang Ziyan is too stupid, she may be useless in the future.”

Shu Sheng lays the materials in order. “These are all Tang Ming’s investments abroad. He starts selling them in big quantities this morning. He had already sold 60% of them previously because he wanted to buy our three pieces of land.”

“Have you found out the source of that sum of money?”

Last time when Tang Ming bought the three pieces of land from Lang Ruoxian, he should have sold all his foreign assets, but it was unknown where he suddenly got a large sum of money. As a result, some of his overseas assets remained.

“It seems to have something to do with East Africa, but we can’t investigate the details.”

Lang Ruoxian squints. When did Tang Ming have contact with East Africa?

“Keep investigating.”

When Huo Liyun comes back, she sees the appearance of Tang Ziyan and cries again. She also knows that Tang Ziyan had taken the initiative to harm Tang Duo, but Lang Ruoxian took the opportunity to set the trap for her. Huo Liyun is scolded by Tang Ming for she wants to go the second branch to ask for explanation.

But she still secretly calls to question Bai Susu. Bai Susu doesn’t give her face this time and scolds her in turn. Huo Liyun is very angry but she doesn’t have any good idea to deal with the second branch. Tang Jie tells her that Tang Ming has planned to make a comprehensive takeover of Tang Consortium, which makes her feel better.

She decides to wait for the day when the second branch go bankrupt, she will definitely scold them back.

“Sister, Bai Jingzhu has been back.” At noon that day Tang Cao suddenly says, “She came back yesterday.”

Yan Hua answers calmly, “If she wants to come back, just come back. I don’t know her very well.”

“I heard when she knew that Hua Yan would marry Dong Nianshuang, she wanted to come back and also tried to commit suicide!” Tang Cao leans in. “Bai Family did not agree anyway. Hua Yan and Dong Nianshuang break up now. Do you think that she will make trouble to Dong Nianshuang when she comes back?”

Yan Hua thinks about this question very seriously, and then shakes her head. “I don’t know. But according to Bai Jingzhu’s characters, I estimate that Dong Nianshuang will only use a few words to make her change mind.”

It has to be said that Yan Hua’s premonition is correct. Dong Nianshuang and Bai Jingzhu are sitting in the café now.

“Jingzhu, you are back!” Dong Nianshuang’s eyes are red-rimmed. “How have you been over a year?”

“Not good.” Bai Jingzhu glares at her. “Are you still my friend? How were you going to marry Hua Yan?”

Dong Nianshuang answers, “Do you think that I was willing to? It was all my family’s decision. If it weren’t for me to disagree anyway, then how could the two families agree to cancel getting connections through marriage?”
