Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Daughter-in-law
“I just can’t get over you!”
Tang Chuxia imdiately hung on Gu Beihuai’s neck.
There’s a saying that even a second of hesitation is an insult to a man with abs.
Especially since Gu Beihuai was talking about Hu Mingcheng, that fellow lacked height, character, and not to ntion abs.
She wasn’t blind.
Fortunately, Gu Beihuai was quite satisfied with Tang Chuxia’s response, though he pulled her off his neck.
What would people think if they saw them horsing around?
Tang Chuxia wasn’t upset, she kicked at the Liu ijuan lying on the ground and tore off the paper bag from her face.
“What should we do with her?”
Gu Beihuai gestured toward the street outside, “Just throw her out there!”
In the freezing cold, only Gu Beihuai could say sothing like that, but Tang Chuxia really liked it.
Tang Chuxia dumped Liu ijuan in an obvious spot, sure that soone would notice her.
They didn’t just run off; instead, they waited until soone discovered Liu ijuan before leaving; they weren’t so heartless as to watch her die.
On the road, Tang Chuxia continued to talk about Liu ijuan, and Gu Beihuai asked her, “How did you manage to predict that Tang Wanqiu would throw sothing at you last ti at your granduncle’s?”
He was genuinely curious, having never had the chance to ask before, and brought it up on a whim today.
Tang Chuxia was taken aback by the question, it took her a mont to grasp what he ant.
“You an that thing? It wasn’t really much, Tang Wanqiu is just so hypocritical, I was just preventing trouble before it happened.”
Right after she finished, Gu Beihuai stared into her eyes.
In the end, Tang Chuxia had no choice but to tell the truth, “Oh, actually, I just felt sothing was off about Tang Wanqiu, and since she had tried to harm before, I was just being cautious in case she tried to poison again, so I prepared a ‘little umbrella’!”
She was telling the truth.
Honestly, she had no reason to deceive Gu Beihuai at this point.
Gu Beihuai acknowledged her with a grunt, “Do you know what she scattered?”
Tang Chuxia shook her head, “I really don’t know!”
“It was a kind of super hallucinogenic drug, if you’d accidentally been affected, you’d be under her control!”
Tang Chuxia shivered, indeed that was quite sinister.
All to gain control over her, truly unscrupulous.
Luckily, it hadn’t worked.
Speaking of that day, Tang Chuxia had her own questions, “Why did you show up that day?”
“How much do you know about Tianji?”
Instead of answering her question, Gu Beihuai countered with one of his own.
Tang Chuxia shook her head, “I know nothing. What is it for?”
Gu Beihuai didn’t go into details, rely telling her, “The situation back then went beyond what normal people can understand. It’s a mysterious departnt that deals with these special cases, and I was leading the way for soone from Tianji.”
Tang Chuxia scoffed, “You really take for a fool!”
Anyone with so education would know Gu Beihuai was lying.
Besides, she wasn’t completely ignorant about Tianji, she just couldn’t show it.
Gu Beihuai was at a loss for words and then pressed down on her head, “What? You think you’re easy to deceive?”
Tang Chuxia knocked his hand away, “Shall we go to the hospital to check on Wu Haipeng?”
The two of them headed towards the hospital, continuing to talk about Tianji on the way. Unfortunately, Gu Beihuai was tight-lipped, he only ntioned a na and said nothing more.
Tang Chuxia planned to find ti to ask Third Brother, as among all her brothers, only Third Brother was the most well-inford.
But Beihuai had no idea that Chuxia was already planning to ask Tang Jianzheng. If he had known, he would definitely have given so heads-up in advance.
Otherwise, that whole string of events wouldn’t have happened.
Now back to our subject, let’s continue with the story of these two.
Since she knew that the person behind Liu ijuan was Hu Mingcheng, Chuxia wouldn’t just do nothing.
“I don’t want Hu Mingcheng to have a good year!”
After she said that, Beihuai didn’t understand her aning.
“I’m planning to heat things up for him first, and then completely ruin him after the New Year!”
Chuxia rubbed her hands together, her face full of excitent, while Beihuai reminded her, “Don’t go overboard with your gas!”
Chuxia assured him she wouldn’t. At the hospital, Haipeng was still asleep, with Mrs. Wu accompanying him. Seeing them, especially Beihuai, she was very grateful.
If it hadn’t been for Beihuai bringing Elder Huang in ti, Haipeng might have lost his leg.
Chuxia watched as Beihuai comforted Mrs. Wu at the side, and then noticed Haipeng waking up, possibly roused by the noise.
“Why are you here?”
Haipeng’s face was still pallid, a sign he was truly sick; even soone as strong as he couldn’t bear it.
Chuxia whispered, “I ca to see you. Elder Huang said your leg isn’t too serious, I thought you wouldn’t be able to marry Dangdang!”
Haipeng laughed dryly, “You didn’t tell Dangdang, did you?”
Chuxia waved her hands, looking wounded.
“Brother Haipeng, what do you take for? If you were crippled, maybe I would have persuaded Dangdang, but you’re all fine now, and I really don’t want to be resented by Dangdang!”
Hearing that Dangdang didn’t know yet, Haipeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Wu, upon hearing Chuxia’s words, frowned, “What do you an?”
Haipeng gestured to Chuxia not to reveal anything about Dangdang. Chuxia naturally didn’t say anything, but Mrs. Wu had already heard and, knowing it wasn’t appropriate to ask Chuxia, she simply asked her son, “What’s this all about? Who is Dangdang?”
Haipeng tried to gloss over it, but unfortunately, he wasn’t successful and had to admit with a wry smile, “Mom, if I said she’s your future daughter-in-law, would you be mad?”
Mrs. Wu was stunned, then slapped her thigh, “Where is my daughter-in-law? I’ll go propose marriage right away!”
Haipeng: …
Chuxia: …
Even Beihuai found it a bit nonsensical.
It’s quite hard to describe that generation of parents.
Whether it’s Mrs. Gu or Mrs. Wu, when it cos to daughter-in-laws, they really get incredibly proactive.
There her son was, lying on the sickbed, and all Mrs. Wu cared about was the daughter-in-law.
“Mom, look at now, how am I supposed to accompany you to propose marriage?”
Haipeng pointed to his leg to remind his mother, who dismissed it with a wave, “What do we need you for to propose marriage? Your dad and I will go. Besides, limping around just damages the image. Wait till your leg is healed before you visit your father-in-law!”
Chuxia gave a thumbs-up to Mrs. Wu, who had grasped Chuxia’s hands, “You know about this too?”
Chuxia nodded, “I thought you were against the match!”
Mrs. Wu laughed, “Nonsense, as long as it’s a girl, I’m grateful. My no-good son hasn’t brought a man ho to be my daughter-in-law, that’s all I could ask for!”
Chuxia forced a laugh.
Suddenly, she understood Mrs. Gu, who had said the sa thing.
Haipeng shouted, “Mom, I like won!”
Mrs. Wu replied casually, then shared Haipeng’s embarrassing stories with Chuxia, “Xiaxia, you don’t know, back when I heard that Huai liked n, I was scared these two were dating, I couldn’t sleep a wink! Now I can finally rest easy. My daughter-in-law isn’t Huai, and that’s good enough!”
Beihuai: …
