Tang Beibei hid in the kitchen when she got home.
Jiang Jingchen went to the kitchen to help. Seeing that the woman had her head lowered, he grabbed her slender wrist in confusion.
âBeibei, whatâs wrong? Why are you avoiding me?â
He furrowed his beautiful brows and once again pulled her onto his lap. He lifted her chin and asked, âWhat happened to your face?â
âNothing. Iâm fine.â
Tang Beibei tried to struggle off the wheelchair, but Jiang Jingchen pinched her chin tightly.
âBeibei, someone hit you!â He said affirmatively with a hint of anger in his tone.
Tang Beibei could no longer hide it, so she told Jiang Jingchen the truth. Rong Meiâer was back in the country and went to school to find her today.
Jiang Jingchen licked his lips. Wasnât it enough to hit Rong Meiâer once? She still went to find trouble with Beibei? She needed another lesson!
His heart ached as he gently touched Tang Beibeiâs cheek. âDid you apply any medicine?â
âYes, 1 did. 1â11 apply more later. Donât worry, itâs fine,â she said with a smile.
Seeing her like this, how could Jiang Jingchen let it go? He turned his wheelchair and brought her out of the kitchen.
âSong Zhou, go and order some food. My wife wonât be cooking tonight.â
âAlright.â Song Zhou went to order food.
Tang Beibei wanted to stop him. It was very expensive to have food delivered and she had already bought the ingredients for dinner.
Song Zhou didnât wait for her to speak. He said, âThe meal has already been ordered and paid for. 1â11 keep the ingredients for tomorrow.â
Alright, with a caring butler, she had nothing to say.
Jiang Jingchen asked her to get the medicine. He applied another layer on her face and asked Song Zhou to boil a couple of eggs for her.
Seeing how nervous he was, Tang Beibeiâs heart felt warm, and she comforted him instead.
âIâm really fine. 1 can recover fast. My arm has been scalded by Rong Meiâer with boiling water before, and it has recovered without any scar.â
To prove that she was not lying, Tang Beibei rolled up her sleeve and showed him her arm.
Jiang Jingchen looked at her arm. There was no big scar, but there was still a very light burn mark. However, because the new skin was very good, it didnât look ugly.
âWhy did she scald you with boiling water?â
âBecause, because 1 was dancing in public, and she found out.â
Tang Beibei sounded disappointed. She was still a little scared when she recalled that incident.
Just because Rong Meiâer saw her dancing in front of her classmates and winning everyoneâs applause, when they got home, she held a kettle of boiling water to Tang Beibei and forced her never to dance again.
Tang Beibei didnât agree, so Rong Meiâer poured boiling water on her. Not only were Tang Beibeiâs arms and legs scalded, but Rong Meiâer accidentally splashed some hot water on herself and complained to Rong Yong.
She accused Tang Beibei of scalding her, so Rong Yong lectured Tang Beibei and then locked her up.
When Tang Beibei was injured that time, she had a very bad fever. Rong Meiâer only let her see a doctor after she promised that she would never dance again. Suddenly, Tang Beibei felt the man kiss her arm and looked at him in a daze. âHubby, what are you doing?â
âBeibei, Iâm so sorry that 1 didnât meet you earlier and caused you to suffer so much.â
Tang Beibei was so touched when she saw the manâs vexed expression that her eyes turned red.
âI didnât suffer. Itâs all in the past.â
Jiang Jingchenâs heart ached when he saw the tears in the corner of her eyes even when she said that she didnât suffer.
âYou have me now. Iâll protect you even if the sky falls. Donât be afraid!â
âYes, hubby, youâre the best.â Tang Beibei hugged him tightly.
The heavens must have seen how much she had suffered in the past to give her such a good husband.
However, she could not be too weak either. She must become better and stronger so she could protect her husband!
Rong Meiâer was a little scared after being warned by Song Kai at school.
The Rong family paled in comparison to the Song family and was not even worth mentioning.
This Tang Beibei was so capable. She even managed to cozy up to the young master of the Song family and behaved flirtatiously despite being married. Ptui, what a shameless b*tch!
She arrived at the Rong residence rubbing her swollen face from Song Kaiâs slap and was greeted by a commotion in the living room.
âRong Yong, 1 worked hard with you to build the Rong family today. Now that you have a mistress, you want to give her our company shares? You are even transferring company assets to your personal account. Iâm telling you, over my dead body!â
When Rong Meiâer heard that her father had a mistress outside, she rushed in in disbelief.
âStop arguing. Whatâs going on? Dad, did you shack up with another woman outside?â
Rong Yong felt guilty from his daughterâs question, but to protect his reputation as a father, he still waved his hand in denial.
âDonât listen to your motherâs nonsense. Sheâs just bored all day and imagines all sorts of things. Iâm usually so busy with work. Where do 1 find the time for a mistress?â
Rong Meiâer also believed her father. Her father was the nicest to her. He would give her anything she wanted. He was such a good father. How could he betray them?
âMom, stop kicking up a fuss. Why would Dad have a mistress? If youâre too bored, go out and find a job. Donât play all day and ruin your brain.â
He Li was furious being scolded by her own daughter. She pointed at Rong Meiâerâs nose and cursed, âYou only know how to protect your father. You have no idea what heâs doing outside. If not because 1 have friends, 1 wouldnât have known that he was so ruthless. He wants to transfer the company assets and leave nothing to the three of us!â
âDad, is that true?â
Rong Yong dismissed the accusation with his hand. âThereâs no such thing. 1 needed those funds to do business. Thereâs no asset transfer.â
Rong Meiâer inherently sided with her father. â1 believe Dad. Mom, stop making a ruckus here.â
âI have evidence!â
He Li brought out a bunch of photos, two documents, and a USB flash drive.
She pointed at a flash drive and said, âThis contains evidence of your fatherâs mistress. They even have a son. Meiâer, you fool. Your father just didnât like that you are not a boy.â
Rong Meiâer looked at the photos and still couldnât believe it. She checked the contents of the USB drive and her brain buzzed. She looked at her father in horror.
How could such an honest father have a woman outside and even had a child with her?
âDad, whatâs going on?â
Rong Yong was also stunned. He thought that he had midden the matter well. He was still looking forward to transferring the company assets so that when he had complete financial control, He Li and her daughters would not dare to kick up a fuss with him. He would then divorce He Li and bring his other family home to live together.
Now that He Li had produced evidence, his mind went blank, and he didnât know how to handle it.
âDad, just because my sister and 1 arenât boys, you went out to find a woman to have a son?â Rong Meiâer couldnât take the blow and took two steps back.
She thought that her father doted on her the most, but it was all a joke!
âMeiâer, listen to Dad. Dad loves you too but Dad also needs a successor. You and your sister arenât going to give birth to a Rong and thereâs nothing I can do about it. Dadâs family business should be given to a boy.â
When Rong Meiâer heard that he had never thought of leaving his family business to them, she became even angrier.
âThe Rong family is ours. Why should we give it to others? No way!â
Rong Meiâer shouted before she went upstairs to treat her wound.
She thought about what happened today. First, her attempt to teach Tang Beibei a lesson failed, and she upset Song Kai instead. And now she found out that her father who doted on her had another family outside. Moreover, he was going to leave the family business to that bastard son.
The more she thought about it, the more terrible she felt. She just plopped down on her bed and cried.
At this moment, Rong Meiâerâs bedroom door was pushed open. She turned around and saw that it was Rong Chanâer. She quickly wiped her tears and sat up.
âSister, donât be sad. Dad did this because he thinks that weâre useless as daughters. If we married well, Dad wouldnât dare to bully us.â
âWhat do you have in mind?â Rong Meiâer looked at Rong Chanâer expectantly.
âOh, 1 have an idea.. Not only can you become a social elite, but you can also trample all over Tang Beibei!â
