Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Forbidden Delicacy
Gu Beihuai said to Tang Chuxia, “I have something to take care of, I’ll take you home first!”
Tang Chuxia still had questions for Yang Yingjie and wasn’t about to leave.
“You go ahead with your business, what trouble could I possibly get into here? Besides, even if something does happen, there’s Lin Qingchen here!”
Although Gu Beihuai didn’t want to admit it, Lin Qingchen did indeed have the ability to protect Tang Chuxia.
It concerned Qingzhu, Gu Beihaui couldn’t afford any delay.
“Don’t you dare have designs on my wife!” Gu Beihuai warned Lin Qingchen before quickly leaving.
Yang Yingjie watched puzzled as Gu Beihuai’s figure disappeared. “What’s he doing?”
Tang Chuxia shrugged.
She really didn’t know.
Lin Qingchen, however, had some guesses.
Qingzhu, huh!
They had been keeping an eye on it for a while too, never expecting it to be such an organization.
“Let’s talk about Qingzhu, I’m really interested!” Tang Chuxia sat down with no ceremony, signaling for Yang Yingjie to tell the story.
Yang Yingjie felt helpless.
He began educating Tang Chuxia about Qingzhu.
The organization was indeed mysterious, but anyone or anything that Qingzhu set its sights on always ended up in trouble.
Previously everyone thought it was some sort of underworld organization, only to discover its true nature.
“So what’s the deal with Wu Siyuan? You all knew Wu Yue was his father, then why allow him to run around Quan City causing trouble?”
That was something Tang Chuxia couldn’t understand.
Yang Yingjie shook his head. “There was this matter of sending a hostage as a show of loyalty, and now Wu Siyuan’s just such a person!”
Tang Chuxia: …
She somewhat doubted what she had heard.
What kind of era was this? How could such things still be happening?
But from the look of Yang Yingjie, he seemingly couldn’t refute this.
“Wu Siyuan is the son Wu Yue openly acknowledges, but no one knows who his mother is. We haven’t known about his relationship with Wen Wenqing for long; if he hadn’t revealed it himself, we probably still wouldn’t know!”
Tang Chuxia thought back to that time when Wu Siyuan was spreading money in the streets.
He really was a bit showy.
“Is Wen Wenqing Wu Siyuan’s mother, and the man she plans to marry this time is Wu Yue?”
Tang Chuxia still remembered this detail, but Yang Yingjie shook his head, “No!”
She said, “Wu Yue wouldn’t dare come here, why would he marry Wen Wenqing? The man Wen Wenqing is planning to marry this time is a rough fellow, but he has money!”
Money could make things happen.
Tang Chuxia thought back to the fifty thousand yuan Wen Wenqing had taken out to return to Father Tang.
It really made her sigh.
Indeed, a remarkable woman always finds herself a formidable man.
“This plot has been planned over a long stretch of time, but why did Wen Wenqing get involved with Wu Yue in the first place?”
That was the crucial point.
Yang Yingjie shook his head. “It’s the business of the older generation; I really don’t know. Even Wu Yue’s identity was something my uncle told me about!”
Yang Chao?
Tang Chuxia wanted to find Yang Chao, but Yang Yingjie reminded her, “Uncle is not in Quan City now, and I don’t know where he has gone!”
Since the lead on Yang Chao was temporarily unavailable, all they could do was wait until Yang Chao appeared to ask.
“Wu Siyuan said his father wants to meet me; if he’s not around, how can we meet?”
Tang Chuxia knew that there was no video calling available, and even a phone call couldn’t cross the strait.
So there were definitely some details Wu Siyuan hadn’t revealed clearly.
Yang Yingjie rubbed his chin, “I guess, Wu Siyuan just wants to talk to you on his father’s behalf!”
As for such an explanation being rational.
Tang Chuxia shook her head, “I can’t guess, it’s too brain-racking!”
No matter the method, Tang Chuxia chose to give up thinking.
“Mealtime has arrived, want to stay and have something to eat?”
Yang Yingjie suggested.
Tang Chuxia immediately nodded.
She couldn’t pass up a free meal.
After eating at Yang Yingjie’s place and since Gu Beihai hadn’t shown up yet, she called Lin Qingchen to leave.
On the way back, Lin Qingchen asked Tang Chuxia, “Do you really plan to spend your life with Gu Beihai?”
Tang Chuxia was surprised, “What’s wrong? Is he not suitable for daily life?”
Lin Qingchen shook his head, “I just feel like you’re not the sort to settle down!”
Tang Chuxia: …
Why did Lin Qingchen seem somewhat sinister now?
“Have you recently trained so hard that you’ve gone mad?”
Tang Chuxia truly doubted if something was wrong with Lin Qingchen; it didn’t seem to match his ‘exiled immortal’ temperament.
Lin Qingchen laughed, a smile that was too enchanting.
Fortunately, Tang Chuxia had strong resistance and wasn’t much affected, only frowning at Lin Qingchen’s face, “That smile is also not right, are you in heat?”
Lin Qingchen’s face stiffened.
A devilish temptation.
It was utterly useless on Tang Chuxia.
“Tang Chuxia, are you made of stone?”
Lin Qingchen grabbed Tang Chuxia’s arm and escorted her back to the Tang Family, then disappeared.
Tang Chuxia scratched her head, “I’m naturally not made of stone-hearted, but I can’t be moved by you!”
She was no fool, messing with Lin Qingchen was not like dealing with Gu Beihai.
Despite Lin Qingchen’s exiled immortal-like persona, he had a very strong sense of possession and was somewhat obsessive.
She, Tang Chuxia, was looking for a man to live life with, not to be treated as a forbidden fruit imprisoned.
Luckily, Little Brother came along, summoned Tang Chuxia to work at the factory, and also let Tang Chuxia put Lin Qingchen’s behavior out of her mind.
Making extra money was something Tang Chuxia was definitely good at; after getting paid, Little Brother even gave her a gift—an all-purpose reclining chair that Tang Chuxia had previously designed.
Tang Chuxia was very happy and wouldn’t let go of it.
Every day at home, she lay there watching Father Tang court Madam Tang.
“I wonder what Mom really thinks? Will she divorce Dad?”
Tang Jianbing had progressed from initially being uncomfortable to now being able to calmly discuss Father Tang’s limitless actions with Tang Chuxia.
“I don’t know, I’m curious if Dad even knows about Mom’s feelings for him.”
To have five children, if they said there were no feelings at all, that would be nonsense, but if Madam Tang wasn’t disgusted by the things Father Tang did for his first love, that wouldn’t be realistic either.
So now, what exactly was Madam Tang planning? Tang Chuxia couldn’t guess.
“It’s better to have no feelings; I get disgusted just looking at Dad. If it weren’t for Wen Wenqing’s incident this time, Dad probably wouldn’t have come to his senses.”
Tang Chuxia believed that.
But it didn’t prevent her from suspecting that Father Tang might be acting.
“The weddings of Second Brother and Third Brother haven’t been finished yet, so they probably won’t divorce, but once you get married, it’s hard to say!”
Tang Chuxia’s guess wasn’t easy to evaluate, but Tang Jianbing thought it made perfect sense.
He needed to write a letter to Second Brother and Third Brother to inquire about their thoughts.
If they could arrange the wedding earlier, they should.
Madam Tang’s years hadn’t been easy.
As Tang Jianbing was considering how to write the letter to his two brothers, Tang Chuxia suddenly slapped his shoulder, reminding him, “I finally remembered something I had forgotten!”
