Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It’s my mistake. I accidentally flipped him over two days ago and he bumped into the cabinet.” Cen Shuang’s voice grew softer and softer as she spoke. She was afraid that Lan Yibai would get soone to beat her up and chase her out. “I really didn’t do it on purpose. Mother, please don’t be angry.”
“Wouldn’t you be angry if soone beat your son up?” The anger that Lan Yibai had just suppressed rose again. Just as she was about to open her mouth again, she heard Boyan say, “It may be a blessing in disguise. I noticed that he seed to show so positive responses. He might wake up soon.”
Lan Yibai’s anger turned into a surprise. Cen Shuang could not help but frown. If Zhuang Hong woke up now and learned that she had hit him, will exacting revenge be the first thing on his mind?
Upon hearing the news that Zhuang Hong might wake up, Lan Yibai almost cried out in surprise. She held onto Cen Shuang although she had been suppressing her anger toward her. Cen Shuang comforted her for a long ti before she cald down.
After Boyan finished his examination, he said, “I’ll go and see the old master first.”
“Cen Shuang, send Boyan off.”
The Zhuang family was divided into three courtyards. Old Master Zhuang lived in the largest one in the middle, which Cen Shuang saw the first ti she ca to the Zhuang family’s residence. She and Lan Yibai lived in the easternmost area. Although she was unwilling, she still listened to Lan Yibai’s instructions. After following Boyan out the door, the doctor imdiately sized her up. He smiled and said, “You’re really sothing. Zhuang Hong has always been the apple of his family’s eye ever since he was young. It’s already good that he doesn’t bully others. Yet, he’s been beaten up.”
Boyan also knew his cousin well. He was ruthless in the business world. He was usually ticulous and would not show rcy to anyone. Why would his aunt make him marry Cen Shuang? She was a little pretty, but she was really impetuous.
“I already said it was an accident,” Cen Shuang said guiltily.
Boyan smiled. “Don’t tell that the scratches on his arms and thighs were also an accident.” This girl looked quite thin and small. Yet, she was really ruthless.
“That was also an accident. You can see yourself out.” Cen Shuang stopped in her tracks and glared at him before running back upstairs.
Boyan looked at her retreating back and could not help but laugh. When Zhuang Hong woke up, this little wife of his would surely give him grief. When Cen Shuang returned, Lan Yibai was still in the room. She saw Cen Shuang secretly wiping away the tears on her face. “You keep Zhuang Hong company. I’ll go and offer incense.”
Lan Yibai was a Buddhist, so she tried to behave as a Buddhist should. It was precisely because of this that her personality was always very easygoing. Cen Shuang nodded. After making sure that Lan Yibai had left, she hurriedly jumped onto the bed and chanted to a very silent Zhuang Hong, “It’s all because I’m young and insensible. Please be the bigger person and don’t be angry with . Don’t be calculative with . Forget everything that happened when you were asleep. You must not rember that I did sothing wrong. You’d better not think about waking up. Just sleep well. I promise I won’t hit you again.”
Cen Shuang quickly put the covers over Zhuang Hong. After Lan Yibai and the old master discussed the possibility of Zhuang Hong waking up, nothing much changed. It was like nothing had happened. The driver still sent Cen Shuang to Jiang University.
“They didn’t know that you were the young mistress of the Zhuang family. They just looked at the luxury car and thought that you were soone’s sugar baby... but I did explain it to them.”
“Did they listen?” Cen Shuang asked back. Mu Sensen imdiately lowered her head. Who would believe that a poor girl was innocent if she was picked up by a luxurious car that was worth millions every day?
“Due to Zhuang Hong’s condition, if I were to tell them about your relationship, I think they would say sothing worse than this.” At that ti, she would not be thought of as a sugar baby, but as a poor living widow!
“Shuang Shuang, don’t be angry. Drink sothing.” Mu Sensen brought her snacks, but Cen Shuang was not in the mood. Being talked about was a very disheartening, and she did not like being unhappy.
“Why don’t you tell the Zhuang family not to pick you up anymore?” If they did not see that luxury car, they would not be curious about Cen Shuang, and they would not say such nasty things.
“If I take the bus tomorrow, I’m afraid I’ll really beco a poor daughter of the Zhuang family. It’s very likely that they’ll just add on that the rich have gotten tired of playing with so they got rid of .” In any case, she could not avoid being talked about. Since she was being talked about anyway, being housed by the rich did sound better.
“I’ve decided.”
“Decided what?” Mu Sensen was stunned. She could not be thinking of quitting school, right? It was very difficult to get into Jiang University. Now that the Cen family was gone, Cen Shuang needed a good education to strengthen herself. Soday, even if the Zhuang family no longer wanted her, she would be able to, at least, support herself.
Cen Shuang revealed a sly smile and said in a low voice, “I want to buy a car. I’ll drive myself to school.” She had already gotten her driver’s license, but her father had been around at the ti. He had not allowed her to drive. Now, she could finally put her driver’s license to good use !
“You want to buy a car? Where would you get the money?” It would cost at least a few hundred thousand. Could it be that she wanted to buy a tractor that cost tens of thousands instead?
Cen Shuang ate the food in front of her. “I’ll ask my mother-in-law for it.”
