Chapter 139

But Tang Xia didn’t feel at ease at all in the live show. She had been occupied since Jiang Yuecheng left home and didn’t finish washing clothes and cooking till around 12 o’clock.

Then Tang Xia hurriedly took out the lunch-box, carefully sorted and put dishes into it and was about to bring it to Jiang Yuecheng after changing her clothes in the room.

“Hey, do you think that’s all you need to do after cooking for Dacheng?” Tang Xia’s mother-in-law said like a peacock.

“Eh? What do you mean… ”

“What do you mean? Don’t I need to have lunch?” Tang Xia’s mother-in-law showed the whites of her eyes and interrupted her.

“Mother-in-law, I’ve saved your share of every dish,” Tang Xia said.

“What? You want me to eat the rest of the fish and meat? Don’t you know the doctor had advised me to eat light food only?”

“What a scheming and malicious woman! Do you hope my body to break down so that you’ll live with ease in this family?”

Helplessly, Tang Xia looked at the dishes she cooked, which were already light enough. Knowing all her arguments against her mother-in-law would be in vain, she cooked again and brought to her mother-in-law.

Her mother-in-law pretended to have accepted reluctantly after tasting her dishes and said, “I’ll make do with it. Why are you looking at me? Go and take the dishes to my son, or he’ll get hungry…”

Tang Xia took a relief since she was not asked to cook again by her mother-in-law. It had been over 12 o’clock, she washed her face, changed her clothes in the room, loosened her hair, looked into the mirror hurriedly and set out.

But the girl in the mirror looked attractive with her had big eyes, bushy eyelashes, which were like feathers, and amber pupils. Her hair resting on her shoulders was as fluffy as seaweed. She was dressed in a white maxi skirt, a little tight in her waist, looking simple but elegant. All these made her fairly appealing.

She didn’t notice the warm sunshine till she went out, which was flooded the earth evenly and generously.

Tang Xia smiled at the sun and cheered herself up. “You can do it!”

Tang Xia tried to pick up her pace on the way to Jiang Yuecheng’s company but she had to keep an eye on the dishes.

Her hands went wet after walking for a few minutes, so did her face and her neck. But Tang Xia looked even more attractive after sweating, who was just like cotton rose that had just sprung from the water, looking refreshing.

She had been out of breath when she arrived at Jiang Yuecheng’s company. Tang Xia wiped the sweat off her forehead and walked in Jiang Yuecheng’s company directly.

In the lift, Tang Xia was in a trance when she stared at the numbers of floors.

Some people around Tang Xia muttered and exchanged glances with each other when they saw her. “Eh? Isn’t this his wife? She’s so tolerant and brings him lunch.”

“Maybe his wife hasn’t know this yet.”

“She’s kind of appealing.”

“I know that men never get satisfied with their own wives.”

“Two guys in the lift kept muttering and squinting at Tang Xia. Though Tang Xia didn’t hear them clearly, she still felt uncomfortable for this.

“Ding-dong.” The lift had arrived at Jiang Yuecheng’s floor.

“Oh. The lift finally arrived, or I’ll be embarrassed by their comments about me.” Tang Xia took a sigh of relief and though in her mind.

The moment she stepped out of the lift, Tang Xia saw Jiang Yuecheng and another woman’s who backed onto her. Jiang Yuecheng’s right arm was around the woman’s shoulders and his left hand was holding the woman’s hand, while the woman looked timid and lovable in his arms.

The woman was speaking to Jiang Yuecheng in a slightly angry and coaxing voice. “When the hell would you divorce that old ball and chain? I’ve been waiting for you for too long.”

Then she attitudinized and beat Jiang Yuecheng on his chest.

Tang Xia recognized at once that the woman who turned her back to her was exactly her younger cousin, Zhou Linlin.

While Jiang Yuecheng gave her a coshering look, which he had never shown to Tang Xia. “Take it easy, baby. You need to wait a little longer for a chance.”

That was disgusting. Tang Xia felt sick and her hands which held the lunch-box trembled out of anger and disgrace.

She sneered and calmed down, and said, “What are you waiting for? Why not get divorced now?” The unexpected voice surprised Jiang Yuecheng and Zhou Linlin, who suddenly shuddered and looked blue in their faces.

They loosened their grips hurriedly. Zhou Linlin gave a forced smile to Tang Xia with her stiff face, while Jiang Yuecheng, who kept his equanimity, pretended to chillax and said,

“Where’s my lunch? Why do you come so late? Your cousin Linlin and I are thinking about eating out.”

Tang Xia took out the Fried Live Fish with Astragalus Membranaceus, Sliced Pig Ears with Chili Sauce and Spicy Chicken with Eight-Treasures that she had cooked laboriously this morning and put them on the table chillily.

“There are all that you demanded this morning. Don’t hurry.” Tang Xia said to Jiang Yuecheng, smiling with a mocking look, which horrified Zhou Linlin who had already felt guilty.

“And I knew you well so I brought you two servings so that you can eat together.” Tang Xia continued.

Zhou Linlin smiled and smiled obsequiously. “You are so considerate, cousin… “But Tang Xia had quickly spilled the Fuyuan Decoction onto their faces before she finished.

Then Tang Xia smiled complacently and said, “Whoops! I’m so sorry. I can’t hear others praise me or I’ll get excited. I’m sorry, cousin!”

“You lunatic!” Jiang Yuecheng pointed at Tang Xia and said angrily.

While Zhou Linlin beside him pretended to be pitiful, with tears in her eyes.

“I am a lunatic? I’m much more normal than you who display affection in public without worrying about losing faces.” Tang Xia shouted at the pair with disdain.

“Why do you say that we don’t worry about losing faces? Do you have any evidence?” Jiang Yuecheng was still reluctant to admit his mistake.

“You have been hoping to divorce me, the old ball and chain, for a long time, don’t you? Then we can get divorced now. Why compel yourself to live with an old ball and chain every day?”

Seeing that Tang Xia had put her cards on the table, Zhou Linlin showed her cunning face immediately.

“Cousin, you don’t have to be too upset. We are in true love, after all. All in all, I have to thank you because we wouldn’t have met each other if it were not for you!”

Tang Xia finally realized what a mistress was like after hearing Zhou Linlin’s defense. She never thought that her husband would have an extramarital affair, which she had only seen on TV.

Tang Xia remembered how hard she had worked for the family and how she submitted to humiliation, while now she felt so disgusted about the man’s lover, her own cousin.

Tang Xia stuck in a great grief as if a flood of rain dropped in her heart.

“Linlin, I never notice that you are so articulate and so good at defending yourself.” Tang Xia gritted her teeth and said to Zhou Linlin in disdain and with mockery.

“Ha-ha. I learned that from you. Your parents always praised you before my parents when we were at school! So I was determined to learn from you since then and I wanted to surpass you.” Zhou Linlin said shamelessly.

Jiang Yuecheng crossed his arms over his chest and said with a cold expression, “Don’t blame me. All you can blame is that you are not attractive enough and fun at all.

Jiang Yuecheng’s words stabbed Tang Xia on her heart like a sharp blade. She overturned all the dishes she had cooked laboriously for half a day and the lunch-box and dishes dropped to the ground with a clattering noise.

The cap was shaken off the lunch-box, while dished spilled all over the floor. The dishes suddenly filled the air with an appealing smell, which seemed to be teasing Tang Xia for her consistent efforts and tolerance.

Tang Xia’s eyes went red and her tears could never be withdrawn and burst out like the flood.

Jiang Yuecheng seemed to be afraid of losing face when he saw Tang Xia made the lift well into a mess and cried. He caught Tang Xia and tried to pull her to somewhere where there were fewer people. “Get lost! Don’t touch me!” Tang Xia howled in a trembling voice.

At the same time, some people walked out of the lift.

They felt surprised when they saw this and prepared themselves for watching how Tang Xia would fight with the mistress as onlookers.

“Don’t you feel shameless for that? Eh? If you don’t mind losing face, what about me? Quarrel when we get home.”

He pulled Tang Xia and tried to pull her aside while speaking, but Tang Xia struggled and refused to move. Jiang Yuecheng couldn’t pull Tang Xia with strength since people were watching him.

“Cousin, don’t you know the ‘general interest’? How would my brother Dacheng’s colleagues and boss think of him if you make trouble in his company? How would others think of brother Dacheng?”

“Brother Dacheng” called by Zhou Linlin made Tang Xia feel sick.

The onlookers were never afraid of making it big and started muttering to each other.

“What are you looking for? Do what you should do!” Jiang Yuecheng lost his temper and shouted at them angrily.

The onlookers then left with a disgusting look on their faces.

“What the hell do you want? Do you feel happy if I’m laughed at by my colleagues in my company? Eh? I would never marry you anyway if I knew you were like this.” Jiang Yuecheng rolled up his sleeves, loosened his tie and said impatiently.

Tang Xia was totally disappointed about the man with whom she slept but with different dreams every night!

“Now that things have gone like this, how would you be afraid of losing face?”

Tang Xia said coldly and feebly.

Jiang Yuecheng reached out and was about to slap Tang Xia on her face at once.

“No!” Zhou Linlin seized Jiang Yuecheng’s hand in the air suddenly.

She whispered to him, “Though we’ve been discovered by her, we still have lots of things to deal with. We’d better not treat her so bad. And she doesn’t deserve you to beat her.”

“Yuck! A good match of a two-timer and a coquette!” Tang Xia said ironically.
