Seeing that Xia Xiaoluo was crying sadly, Fang Ruichen was in a panic. He just walked around Xia Xiaoluo anxiously without knowing how to comfort her.
“Xiaoluo, stop crying! I will kill him if he betrayed you or bullied you!” Fang Ruichen said excitedly. He took a paper knife from the staff in the monitor room, wanting to fight with Ling Tianyi.
Knowing that Fang Ruichen was always impulsive, Xia Xiaoluo was shocked and she pulled his ankle immediately, “Don’t go!”
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t want Fang Ruichen to cause trouble. More importantly, she didn’t want Ling Tianyi to be hurt. Xia Xiaoluo loved Ling Tianyi very much, so she hoped that he could live a happy life even though he might betray her one day.
As for Fang Ruichen, although Xia Xiaoluo disliked him because he always teased her, she still didn’t want him to offend Ling Tianyi. Because she knew that Fang Ruichen wouldn’t win Ling Tianyi if Ling Tianyi wanted to deal with him.
“Look at yourself! You should ask Ling Tianyi about it face to face instead of crying here by yourself! Tears won’t work!” Fang Ruichen said furiously. Although he has been trying to catch Ling Tianyi’s tripping, he regretted because Xia Xiaoluo’s tears made him heartbreaking when he made it.
At the same time, He Meishu and Qiao Anna’s aunt were jubilant. It was obvious that they were trying to match Qiao Anna and Ling Tianyi to be a couple. Qiao Anna just sat there with shyness, waiting for Ling Tianyi’s statement. If Ling Tianyi showed a little sign of ambiguity and love, she would express her love directly. But if Ling Tianyi still loved Xia Xiaoluo, she would pretend to be ignorant of it and stand by his side to solve the embarrassing situation.
He Meishu said to Qiao Anna, “Anna! It must be destiny, because I like you very much when we met for the first time! You are just a qualified daughter-in-law in my heart!”
“However, Aunt He, Xiaoluo has married Yi?” Qiao Anna asked this question to test Ling Tianyi’s attitude. It was a signal to check the attitude of the Ling Tianyi and his family to Xia Xiaoluo.
Ling Tianyi was tasting the red wine without saying anything. He Meishu said, “I don’t want to mention Xia Xiaoluo at all! She is just a plain girl without talents, charming appearance, graceful temperament or outstanding family background! She is only good at cooking at home! What’s more, she always causes troubles for Yi and offends me!”
“Did she really have a miscarriage before?” Qiao Anna’s aunt asked deliberately, but actually, she knew it clearly.
“Humph! That’s right! She quarreled with Yi so she fell down from the window! Any behaved wife won’t do such an extreme thing like that! She is mentally ill, but I will accept her if she could give birth to a child. But she is so impulsive, so I think that she isn’t able to give birth to any child even though she can be pregnant after recovery! In addition, she will sully our prominent blood relationship!” He Meishu became more furious and she blamed Xia Xiaoluo for losing the child.
“Alas! Your daughter-in-law is too terrible! No wonder you want to look for a new wife for your excellent son! If I were you, I won’t accept her as well!” Qiao Anna’s aunt said.
Ling Tianyi kept appreciating his glass and the red wine. Qiao Anna glanced at him secretly, but she could not guess anything from his expression. Therefore, Qiao Anna dared not to express her attitude for fear that the efforts she made before would be in vain.
“Alas! Please go to pray for my son with me another day! I really don’t understand why he married such an unlucky woman! Fortunately, they haven’t held a wedding. In addition, they got their marriage certificates abroad, so the marriage isn’t protected by the laws in our country!” He Meishu sighed.
“Right! She must be greedy for money, so just give her some money and send her away!” Qiao Anna’s aunt said.
Xia Xiaoluo was shocked to hear that their marriage wasn’t protected by the laws because they just registered it abroad. In addition to the previous warning from Fang Ruichen, Xia Xiaoluo realized that their marriage could be fake. She thought that Ling Tianyi just wanted her to be his mistress instead of marrying her from the beginning.
Xia Xiaoluo knew that Ling Tianyi loved her, but she wasn’t confident of herself. Therefore, seeing that Ling Tianyi just sat there and kept silent, Xia Xiaoluo thought that Ling Tianyi was willing to have the blind date.
“Look! I have warned you before, but you didn’t believe me at all! They want to give you some money and let you go now!” Fang Ruichen said angrily.
Xia Xiaoluo couldn’t help crying, she couldn’t bear it anymore. So she rushed out of the door, she wanted to leave here, finding a quiet place to stay alone.
“Hey! Where are you going?” Fang Ruichen followed Xia Xiaoluo at once, “Don’ run away! Wait for me!”
Knowing that Xia Xiaoluo was in a bad mood, Fang Ruichen dared not to force her to go with him, so he just followed her quietly to protect her.
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t go home, because she thought that it was not her home. She did not want to stay in the house without her lover, but she didn’t know where to go.
Xia Xiaoluo knew that she couldn’t make her friends involved if she wanted to leave Ling Tianyi. For instance, Dou Ya who was hot-tempered would definitely offend Ling Tianyi for her. She could ask Ling Tianyi to forgive her friends before because he loved her at that time, but Xia Xiaoluo was not sure whether Ling Tianyi would go on satisfying her demands.
Sitting alone at the riverbank aimlessly, Xia Xiaoluo threw some stones in the river sometimes. Her tears were dried because of the wind, her eyes were glazed.
“Xiaoluo, it’s too cold here!” Fang Ruichen said, and then he took his sports coat off and put it on Xia Xiaoluo.
But Xia Xiaoluo pulled it down at once and threw it back to Fang Ruichen, “I’m not cold! Take your ugly coat away!”
“Xia Xiaoluo! I’m helping you! Mind your attitude!” Fang Ruichen said furiously, but he became gentle when he thought that Xia Xiaoluo was depressed today, “I care about you and I hope that you can be well!”
Xia Xiaoluo was still silent, being stunned. So Fang Ruichen became angry, “Ling Tianyi is not a reliable person at all! He is an unfaithful person, he treats you well now, but he will look for other women when he dislikes you! To be frank, you are not suitable to live in a rich and powerful family because you are not a powerful person!”
“If Ling Tianyi really loved you, he should introduce you to everyone. However, as far as I know, he only takes you out alone or attends the family feasts together, but he never took you to any important party! The reason is that he wants to keep you as a secret from others and he doesn’t want to marry you! But you are so stupid that you always regard yourself as Mrs. Ling!” Fang Ruichen shouted at Xia Xiaoluo continuously.
Xia Xiaoluo thought about it carefully under Fang Ruichen’s nagging, she was heartbroken. What Fang Ruichen said made sense. Ling Tianyi had many social engagements to attend and it was necessary to bring a female companion in many cases, but Ling Tianyi had never taken her with him. Was it the reason that she was too terrible and disgraceful and would make Ling Tianyi feel embarrassed?
Xia Xiaoluo was extremely depressed and she couldn’t understand Ling Tianyi’s mind. At the same time, she was self-contemptuous, she felt that her marriage would end soon. However, she didn’t know how to live without Ling Tianyi. She didn’t care about her livelihood, because she could work for a living. Instead, she was worried about her heart, she was afraid that she couldn’t recover from the hurt.
When Xia Xiaoluo was sad and confused alone, she had no idea that in the Taohuayuan VIP room of the Haotianjiayan Restaurant, Ling Tianyi finished his red wine finally, so he wanted to pay for the bill politely.
“Manager Ling…” The waiter was shocked when Ling Tianyi gave him the money which was ten times as much as that was needed.
“Yi is definitely the richest man in A City, you are so generous!” Qiao Anna’s aunt said with a smile, Qiao Anna and He Meishu also echoed together.
Ling Tianyi sneered, he smiled reluctantly and coldly, “It is my compensation for your restaurant! It’s not so much!”
“Manager Ling, what do you mean?” The waiter was confused.
“Because it will be troublesome here, and you have to deal with the difficulties later.” Ling Tianyi said and turned the large table over, smashing all the glasses and plates on the table.
Then, Ling Tianyi took an unopened bottle of Lafite in 1982 on the dining cart and smashed it against the delicate wallpaper.
“Are you crazy?” He Meishu was shocked and frightened, so she roared at Ling Tianyi.
“Mom, you asked me to pay for the bill and I came; you want to show off your excellent son to your friends, so I sat quietly and said nothing, I didn’t disturb you!”
“Now I have finished the meal and paid for the bill to express my filial piety!”
“However, you spoke ill of my wife, I’m very unhappy. I am not an unfaithful man, I only love my wife. I am very angry, and I want to vent my anger. However, I can’t beat my mother or her friends up, so I have to vent my anger by turning over the table.”
“If this kind of thing happens again, I won’t only turn over the table!”
After Ling Tianyi said it coldly, he smiled coldly, “I have to go home to watch TV with my wife, so excuse me. I believe that you can go home safely without me.”
Ling Tianyi went away firmly without turning his head.
“What an unfilial son! I am so angry!” He Meishu was extremely furious and she covered her chest.
“Aunt He, please calm down! Yi must do that because he loves Xiaoluo too much. Yi will blame himself if you aren’t well due to anger!” Qiao Anna comforted He Meishu, behaving gently.
“My son must be enchanted by that evil woman, Xia Xiaoluo! Or he won’t treat me like that!” He Meishu blamed Xia Xiaoluo for that again.
After a while, He Meishu took Qiao Anna’s hands and said, “Anna! You are a good girl! I’m really sorry about it! I made you feel wronged today, so just forget what happened!”
“Aunt He, it doesn’t matter! I will be unsatisfied if Yi abandons his wife so easily!” Qiao Anna said this to delight He Meishu.
“You’re right! My son values feelings since childhood and is a responsible person! However, he must marry a girl who understands him! They should share something in common!” He Meishu sighed.
“I know Aunt He’s meaning and I really appreciate that you like me. However, in my opinion, please don’t force Yi to accept me because Yi needs more time to think about it. I know that he doesn’t know what to do, so we should think more for him!” Qiao Anna said.
He Meishu sighed, she preferred Qiao Anna because she could think for Ling Tianyi all the time. So He Meishu made up her mind to persuade Ling Tianyi to accept Qiao Anna and marry her.
