Chapter 149 He Is Yours Now

Unexpectedly, Zhou Linlin had arrived, so those four all looked at each other with great embarrassment.

While Tang Xia stood together with Chu Tiankuo, Jiang Yuecheng standing not far away from them saw Zhou Linlin and his corners of the mouth twitched. “Why does she come at this moment?”

In the meantime, he felt quite annoyed because Chu Tiankuo and Tang Xia both felt awkward already, let alone now that Zhou Linlin was here. It was such an intractable situation.

After staring at Chu Tiankuo, Tang Xia found that his eyes were as clear as a blue sky, making her go into a daze for a while. Then Chu Tiankuo put on a smile and asked her in a gentle voice, “What’s wrong?”

“Alas!” Tang Xia came to her senses right away and turned her head around, hoping she wouldn’t be noticed. Then she cleared her throat and asked, “Zhou Linlin, what are you doing here? ”

She brought the conversation around to Zhou Linlin out of fear that Chu Tiankuo had noticed her in a daze.

Zhou Linlin had an enchanting smile as the key to the car hooked on her bent finger. And the moment she caught sight of Chu Tiankuo, she became quite surprised and raised her eyebrows. Then she said to Tang Xia, “It’s none of your business!”

Not daring to act too aggressively in front of Chu Tiankuo, she gave an ambiguous answer to Tang Xia.

But it never occurred to her that Chu Tiankuo would be there with Tang Xia and Jiang Yuecheng. “What is going on here?” While thinking this, she felt somewhat nervous and restless.

“Hmph, can’t I ask the reason as to why you appear at my door gratuitously?” Although Tang Xia’s words were a little overbearing, it was reasonable for her to get angry because Zhou Linlin had arrived here brazenly.

Zhou Linlin became more and more rampant.

Chu Tiankuo tilted his head as he had hardly seen Tang Xia make threatening gestures like this, which made her a little adorable in his eyes.

Zhou Linlin bit her lips and cast her piteous eyes on Jiang Yuecheng, hoping that he would speak for her.

Not daring to do anything in front of Chu Tiankuo, Jiang Yuecheng turned his head around and said, “Linlin, aren’t you supposed to be at work now? Why are you here?”

He could not let Manager Chu have a good laugh at him no matter how he loved Zhou Linlin.

“Interesting.” Tang Xia sneered because only under this circumstance would Jiang Yuecheng show loyalty to her.

Being questioned by two people at the same time, Zhou Linlin felt quite wronged. “How can he talk to me like this? He used to speak up for me. That b*tch Tang Xia is to blame!”

Then her eyes became gloomy as she lowered her head and made a more ambiguous statement. “I…” As she could not find a better excuse, she had no choice but to spin a yarn, “I missed my elder female cousin. Luckily, I had something to attend to nearby, so I dropped in.”

When she raised her head the next second, Zhou Linlin had put on a sweet smile already. Then she ran up close to Tang Xia and held her hands as if they were rather intimate. “Cousin.”

Zhou Linlin’s behavior made Tang Xia so frightened that she got away from her immediately. “Let me go. I don’t like it when someone acts on their own to hold my hands.”

Zhou Linlin felt rather awkward. Then she cast her eyes on Chu Tiankuo and Jiang Yuecheng while harboring great resentment toward Tang Xia in her mind.

“Dammit! Tang Xia, how can you make me lose face on purpose! You b*tch, I’ll have you bear all the consequences!”

But she pretended to be quite considerate by asking Jiang Yuecheng in a sweet voice, “Brother-in-law, don’t you need to go to work now? I can drive you to the company.”

Not knowing what to say, Jiang Yuecheng just replied, “Well.”

Chu Tiankuo just coldly watched all this and understood that it was Zhou Linlin who had wanted to make trouble but had run into them.

However, he was not willing to stay for this boring show and he cast his eyes on Jiang Yuecheng absently. Then he said in a calm voice, “Well, now that she can drive you to work. I’ll leave now. Take your time, bye.”

Chu Tiankuo turned away after saying goodbye without taking a look at Tang Xia. But Tang Xia chuckled and felt quite warm as she lowered her head to cast her eyes on the ointment in her hand.

“Chu Tiankuo can always give me such long-lost warmth, although I have no idea why I have this feeling.”

After Chu Tiankuo left, Zhou Linlin’s facial expression altered immediately—she put on a rather sarcastic expression with a sneer.

“Yo, how long has it been? You even hook up with Manager Chu! You are so ‘awesome’, sister!” Her words were quite sarcastic and full of disdain.

Tang Xia was impressed by Zhou Linlin making a false countercharge because it was she who had made trouble shamelessly, but slandered her by saying that she hooked up with Chu Tiankuo.

When Chu Tiankuo was around, she was so obsequious and innocent. But when he left, she became like a maniac and turned hostile so quickly.

After rolling her eyes, Tang Xia walked toward Zhou Linlin, who wore a foundation thicker than a wall, and said to her in the same sarcastic tone, “Save it. How awesome you are to hold such a bad attitude as a concubine!”

Looking at the scene of those two women playing tit for tat, Jiang Yuecheng felt quite annoyed and could not interrupt the conversation. So he had no choice but to say reluctantly, “Stop arguing. It is getting late.”

Zhou Linlin glared at him and pushed him away while grinning. “Brother Dacheng, stay out of this. I must make it clear to her today.”

Jiang Yuecheng could not do anything about it, so he chose to stand aside.

Tang Xia folded her arms over her chest and had on an arrogant expression. “Make it clear? Sure, younger female cousin. I will discuss with you today how it is wrong to be a concubine!”

“I am not a concubine! Brother Dacheng and I are truly in love! Who do you think you are? Don’t think that I’ll be afraid of you because you have some relations with Manager Chu.” Zhou Linlin made no bones about talking back. Her behaving like a shrew at the moment was quite different from her usual style of pretending to be adorable and sensible.

Jiang Yuecheng was shocked by her behavior and did not know what to say.

“It never occurred to me that Zhou Linlin could behave like this…”

Tang Xia cast her cold eyes on Jiang Yuecheng standing aside while she looked down on him in her mind.

“With Zhou Linlin in such an embarrassing situation, doesn’t he speak up for her as a man?

“I don’t know why I married such a cowardly, disgusting man!”

Tang Xia shook her head and looked directly at Zhou Linlin again. Then she fought back proudly like a queen. “You said you are truly in love? Interesting. Just save it.

“How shameless you are to seduce your brother-in-law when he is already married! How dare you say that you are truly in love? I’m telling that you will never know what will happen to you if I disclose this scandal!”

Maybe she would be utterly discredited or even worse…

Taking these consequences into consideration, Zhou Linlin ground her teeth and could not utter another word, “You…”

“Tang Xia, don’t be too proud! I’m telling you that Brother Dacheng is mine!” Then Zhou Linlin held Jiang Yuecheng’s hands tightly as if she wanted to claim that “fact”.

“Poor thing! That is the only thing she can do now. Right, Jiang Yuecheng does not like me anymore. But we have not divorced yet. Who does Zhou Linlin think she is?”

Tang Xia refused to admit to being inferior and walked toward Jiang Yuecheng slowly. Then she pulled up his other hand and donned a faint smile. “Are you kidding me? Yuecheng is my husband now. Who do you think you are?”

“Brother Dacheng.” Zhou Linlin pulled Jiang Yuecheng’s hand, hoping that he would speak up for her. “Now that Chu Tiankuo has left, he can help me now.”

After taking a look at Zhou Linlin, whose face was heavily powered, and the elegant Tang Xia, who just wore light makeup, Jiang Yuecheng was quite hesitant.

But he favored Zhou Linlin more. So he pulled Tang Xia’s hand away and said, “Sorry, Tang Xia. I like Linlin more and there is no love between us anymore.”

“Fine. Since I was a little girl, my mother always taught me that I should donate the things I don’t need to the poor. So he is yours now.” Then she put on such a beautiful smile, as warm as a March sun, that made her appear stunningly charismatic.

“Tang Xia! Fine, you are more eloquent! But if you’re so awesome, why can’t you keep your husband? Hmm? Tell me.”

Tang Xia was noncommittal. “It is because I don’t want him anymore. He is yours now. You’re welcome.”

Zhou Linlin was so pissed off by her words but could only leave with an angry sentence.”Then enjoy your lonely life!” Then she pulled Jiang Yuecheng away.

They got into Zhou Linlin’s red car and drove off.

While Tang Xia turned around to go inside, she kept on hobbling due to what had happened to her several days before.

Jiang Yuecheng’s mother was watching TV on the sofa while eating melon seeds leisurely.

The moment she saw Tang Xia come into the house, she frowned and said disgustedly, “Yo, did you really go lame? Missy, how can you go to the market to do grocery shopping in this condition? Alas, I knew you were unreliable! You are so useless that you cannot complete such an easy task!”

As she noticed that Tang Xia did not respond to her, she became more confident. “I told you that Zhou Linlin is a good woman. Although she cannot do anything, she is better than you. Look at you.

“Tut-tut, you are too delicate, while Zhou Linlin looks more reliable and is much better than you.”

Tang Xia disregarded taking her words seriously as she had severe foot pain. Besides that, she felt quite annoyed about what had happened. The only thing she wanted to do was have a good rest in her room.

Although Jiang Yuecheng’s mother kept on babbling behind her, she cut those words off completely by shutting the door.

The moment she lay down on the bed, the sound “ding-dong” came from her cellphone. She grabbed it and cast her eyes on it feebly, finding that it was a message from an unknown number, which said: “Remember to apply the medicine and have a good rest.”

Tang Xia felt happier right away while she speculated that the message was from Chu Tiankuo. “He can always make me feel warm!

“But there is a special feeling aside from the warmth.

“It is a sweetness together with a hint of excitement. No, why should I get excited?” Tang Xia patted herself on the face and forced herself to calm down.
