Chapter 244 Encounter on the Street
Why does he need this kind of son? Tang Yao thinks angrily, he’d better let his son disappear in this world after eating a good meal.
Bai Susu puts down the chopsticks, twitching the corner of her eyebrows. Tang Yao looks fiercely at Tang Cao who is running in.
“Do you believe I will publicize that you aren’t my son anymore in the press?”
Tang Cao shakes his cell phone and explains, “Well, didn’t you read the headlines?”
“There’s something new.” Yan Hua refreshes her micro blog and finds another headline.
# According to the latest news, Tang Yao, the owner of Tang Consortium, sent the young woman to the hospital yesterday. It’s confirmed that she had a miscarriage. It’s not sure whether she knew Mr. Tang before and whether she has any relationship with him.#
The following discussion is heated instantly. Without any reasons, people gradually say the woman is Tang Yao’s mistress. Tang Yao wanted to break up with her but she didn’t agree. Then she ran out of the car and fainted. Finally, she lost her baby.
“What these people say is so lively as if they saw it personally.” Yan Hua is a little angry. She says, “They talk about it casually but they don’t know anything.”
Tang Yao is about to cry, “I don’t know that woman at all!”
“I’ll let people deal with it right away.” Lang Ruoxian says and goes to call someone.
Bai Susu frowns, “Where does the news come from?”
“I don’t think the woman says that!” Tang Cao finds a comment he just read and says, “Look, this netizen said that he saw a lot of reporters in the hospital. I guess reporters only hear some information and make up a wrong story.”
“I should go to the hospital.” Bai Susu stands up.
Yan Hua stops her mother and says, “Mom, if you are photographed going there by reporters at this time, you will make others believe the reporters’ nonsense.”
“Mom, you don’t have to go. I’ll go there.” Lang Ruoxian has already called his people. Soon Tang Consortium’s official blog issues a statement, seriously accusing the social media influencer that released the news. Tang Consortium also sends a lawyer’s letter to that person.
“I’m sure nobody will talk nonsense anymore.” Yan Hua says after reading the statement, “The whole thing is just speculated by them. Now we handle it in time. People who want to show off dare not talk nonsense again.”
Lang Ruoxian takes his coat and kisses her. He says, “I’ll go to the hospital first and then go to the company. Let’s call later.”
“Alas!” Tang Cao begins to laugh his father again, “Dad, you are much more dissoluble than I am! I haven’t made any headlines like that. Look at you!”
Tang Yao immediately hits his son with his slipper. Then her runs around the sofa in sitting room to chase his son.
“Mom, you saw that girl yesterday. Do you think she…”
“She doesn’t look like a person who talks nonsense.” Bai Susu says, “And Ruoxian has checked her. However, we can’t judge a person according to its appearance. I’m not sure that she never gives wrong information to reporters.”
But they all feel that Sun Xiaolin isn’t so foolish to do that. Because it isn’t good for her and will make her offend Tang Family. Of course, it is possible that someone behind her asks her to do that. However, even if she slanders Tang Yao intentionally, it will be totally meaningless without any evidences.
At noon, Lang Ruoxian calls Tang Family that there is no problem and he would tell them specifically when he gets off work in the evening. Besides, the online reports are all withdrawn. Chang Pei’e scolds Tang Yao when she knows it. Because of that, Tang Yao is punished not to go out alone for three months.
“Sister Duo, does your birthday come soon?” Fang Diandian asks Yan Hua with a smile. Today, Fang Diandian invites Yan Hua to have coffee.
Yan Hua remains speechless for a short time. She forgot that Tang Duo’s birthday was in June.
“It’s in next week. How do you know it?”
Fang Diandian giggles, “Tang Cao talked about it in a group online. So I see it.”
“He lets you join that online group!” Yan Hua smiles.
Tang Cao and his friends have an online group, called the most handsome playboy in Yanjing. It is said that only the wastrel can enter. If you are an elite or a president, you are not qualified to join.
“Sister Duo, you don’t know. I’m the only one woman in it. I almost want to quit.” Fang Diandian complains, “If Chen Xiaopang didn’t tell me that he was going to take me to see Yang Xue, I would not have stayed and listened to their boasting every day.”
“Do you like Yang Xue?” Yan Hua asks. She remembers Yang Xue seems to be a very popular actress, and her TV play is on TV now.
When talking about her idol, Fang Diandian becomes excited, “She is shooting a new film. Chen Xiaopang said that he would take me to its location to play tomorrow. Well. Sister Duo, what kind of gift should I give to you for your birthday? I don’t think you lack anything.”
“Don’t give me anything. I’ll ask you to have dinner then.” Yan Hua answers. Fang Diandian says yes. Then she suddenly looks out of the landing window.
Yan Hua also turns her head and finds a man and a woman arguing at the roadside. The man seems to want to rob the things in the woman’s bag.
“Why is there no one to stop them in broad daylight?” Fang Diandian asks. She sees that the passers-by go to prevent the man but they just leave when the man says something.
When the thing in the woman’s bag is about to be taken away by the man, the woman struggles to rush into the cafe.
The woman shouts, “Please help me! Help me!” The waiter at the door also keeps looking at her. He is stunned when she runs in. After the waiter finds out what happened, the man has come in, too.
“Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Give it to me quickly!” The man scolds. He stretches out to grab the bag again.
Then another waiter also comes. The two waiters stop the man together.
“Go away! Otherwise I’ll tell your manager.” The man is not afraid at all. He even threatens them, “It’s not your business that I quarrel with my girlfriend.”
Waiters hesitate. The woman says hurriedly, “No. We’ve broken up. He wants to rob my thing.”
“Miss, why don’t we call the police for you?” A waiter says.
If it’s really a fight between the man and his girlfriend, the waiters have no reason to intervene.
“Do you dare to call the police?” The man laughs and says to the woman, “Aren’t you afraid your students know your actual character?”
The woman trembles all over, biting her lips and looking like she is about to cry.
“Hey!” Fang Diandian couldn’t stand it anymore. She stands up and shouts, “Are you a man?”
She walks to stand in front of the woman and says, “You are shameless to bully a woman!”
“What’s the matter with you?” The man reaches out to push Fang Diandian. Then he is stopped by the waiters. But the waiters also dare not hurt the man. So the man directly uses his hand to pull them away and tries to catch Fang Diandian.
At that time, Yan Hua also comes over, holding a cell phone in her hand.
She warns him, “I don’t care your business. But if you don’t stop, I’ll call the police.”
The man glares at her and asks, “Do you also want to interfere it?”
“How could I let you rob something in front of so many people?” Yan Hua frowns and looks at him. “Will you leave or not?”
“You can call the police if you have the ability!” The man smiles. “You should ask her if she agrees.”
The woman shakes her head with her pale face. And her eyes are full of supplications.
“If you don’t want the police, we can change it…” Yan Hua also smiles.
Then in the door come three tall and strong men, which can be seen obviously that they are good at fighting.
“Take this man out and see if there’s a cool place nearby to calm him down.”
“What are you doing?” The man becomes panicky. “Let me go! Let me go. I’ll call the police!”
As the door of the cafe closes, the man’s voice gradually disappears. Fang Diandian sees the bodyguards cram the man into the car and take him away. She asks Yan Hua slightly.
“Sister Duo, will you really make him…” She does an action to pretend that she cuts her throat.
Yan Hua pokes her forehead and says, “What are you thinking about? I just want to frighten him.”
“Waiter, I’ll pay the bill.” Yan Hua says. It’s almost time to pick up two children. She says to Fang Diandian, “I can drop you off to school.”
Out of the cafe, the woman catches up to thank them.
“Miss… This lady!” She seems to be in bad health and is weak after running a few steps.
Yan Hua turns her head.
“Thank… Thank you!” The woman covers her chest to thank her.
Fang Diandian looks at her worriedly. She says, “Are you all right? Would you like us to take you to the hospital?”
“No. I’m fine… Thank you!” The woman makes a fake smile and says, “I’m just getting well. So I’m a little weak now. It’s all right.”
Yan Hua says, “Then you’d better go home quickly, in case the man comes back later. Nobody will help you at that time.”
Yan Hua doesn’t know what the man had in his hands about this woman. The woman refuses to call the police even if she is bullied like that. But it’s impossible to solve the problem if she doesn’t dare to call the police. Not everyone will help her every time.
“I…” The woman smiles bitterly, “Well, I see. Thank you!”
Seeing that she gets into the taxi, Yan Hua begins to start the car and leave. After carrying Fang Diandian to school, she turns around to pick up the children. Suddenly, Yan Hua steps on the brake.
“The woman she saw just now…” Yan Hua murmurs. She suddenly recognizes that the woman is Sun Xiaolin.
Sun Xiaolin’s photo is in the materials. No wonder she feels familiar with her.
At that time, Yan Hua feels a little sad for her. This woman is too unlucky.
She just lost her child not long ago. Now she is bullied by the man. It seems that the thing has been lasted for many days.
Sun Xiaolin’s affair is just a little trouble for Tang Family. They will forget it soon when it finishes. There are so many poor people in the world. No one should be responsible to make others happy. It’s their own destiny to live better or worse.
“Are you free tomorrow?” Just after her birthday, Qiang Di calls her.
Yan Hua looks at the calendar and says, “Tomorrow is Sunday. I’m free. What do you want to do?”
“Come out and get your birthday present.” Qiang Di says. Her tone is so arrogant as if Yan Hua owes her. “I couldn’t come to celebrate your birthday because something happened before.”
Yan Hua wants to say that she doesn’t need to be so polite. But Qiang Di immediately says again.
“Come or not? Don’t you want the president from me?”
“… Tell me the address.”
Qiang Di tells her an address. Yan Hua remembers that it is a big seafood restaurant. After deciding the time to meet, Yan Hua hangs up the phone and shakes her head.
“Why does she want to see you?” Lang Ruoxian hugs her from behind and says, “Don’t go if you don’t want to see her.”
Yan Hua turns around and sees that his hair is still wet. She wipes his hair with a towel and says, “She will invite me to dinner and give me a birthday present.”
“A birthday present?” Lang Ruoxian frowns, “Why does she do that?”
“I said that too. Then she got angry.” Yan Hua shakes the towel and says, “Anyway, I’m free tomorrow. It’s not bad to see her!”
Seeing the man twists his eyebrows and keeps silent, Yan Hua leans on his shoulder and asks, “What’s wrong?”
“Tomorrow I will go to a dinner party. So I can’t go with you.” Lang Ruoxian hugs her on his legs and advises, “You can change the time with her.”
“No. I’ll go myself.” Yan Hua rubs in the man’s arms and says, “She doesn’t invite you.”
Lang Ruoxian thinks for a moment. Then he says, “I’ll send you over. When it is more or less over, you can call me and I’ll pick you up.”
The next day Lang Ruoxian takes Yan Hua to the hotel. Then he goes to play golf with several business partners. He just wants to play for a short time. So he soon says goodbye to them and drives away. After driving back to the city, he thinks Yan Hua almost finishes. But she hasn’t called him yet.
Half an hour later, when he arrives at the entrance of the hotel, Lang Ruoxian calls Yan Hua. But the phone is not answered.
