Chapter 30

Jiang Tang made an excuse to leave the room.

She went to the bathroom. Standing in front of the big mirror, she noticed her eyes were stunned and her cheeks were slightly red.

She found it strange.

She couldn’t figure out why Lin Suizhou kissed her out of nowhere. They had never kissed before when they were having sex. It was just a casual physical contact. In Jiang Tang’s view, kissing is a very sacred thing, only two people who are in love could kiss each other.

But…….

She lightly touched her lower lip, and suddenly regained her senses, then took out the lipstick from her bag, and retouched her makeup. Probably he was carried away by a sudden impulse. After all, that man often did some inexplicable things.

After accepting the situation, Jiang Tang patted her cheeks and walked out of the bathroom. 

Only the sound of her footsteps echoing in the empty corridor. Suddenly, Jiang Tang heard the noise coming from the corner. It was the laughter of the crowd. She glimpsed in the corner and saw four or five women in luxurious dresses forming a group, and her eyes faintly fell on a man slightly wrinkled, she was unable to see his face clearly, but his long legs were particularly eye-catching.

After a few glances, Jiang Tang converged her sight.

People who can come to this place are not ordinary people. Jiang Tang felt herself is not not a type of selfless model citizen like Lei Feng, or sticking her nose in other’s business. 

Because she thought this way, Jiang Tang no longer wanted to look at them, but the next moment, the man’s face was exposed under the light. 

The dim light reflected in his ink like eyebrows and eyes. One button of his shirt was torn off, revealing a beautiful neckline and sexy collarbone. The man looked calm and indifferent, with his back against the cold wall. He did not resist, nor saying a word. Silently, letting a group of women fooled around.

“Five thousand yuan for a night is already very high for you. Seeing that you are new, how about I give you eight thousand?”

“Ai ya, Sister Wang is really stingy. Such a small appearance giving only eight thousand, aren’t you too much?”

“You don’t need to work here any more, follow this elder sister, I will financially support you.”

Jiang Tang: “…….”

Are they treating him as a gigolo?

But….

Jiang Tang seized him up and down with her gaze, a tight black suit revealing his thin figure, with a fair complexion, and outstanding eyebrows. At first glance he really looked like a little white face, let alone….in such a place.

Although she didn’t have much contact with Xia Huairun, she could tell from his personality that he’s not a kind of person who would not do anything to hurt women.

Now that she has encountered him, it is impossible not to help.

Jiang Tang smiled, walking in her high heels, approaching him.

She stretched out her hand to push the group of women, and squeezed herself in directly. 

Looking at Jiang Tang who suddenly appeared, those middle age women looked at each other and then turned to look at Jiang Tang, “Who are you?”

Jiang Tang smiled sweetly and hugged Xia Huairun’s lean waist very naturally. She was a little surprised, not expecting that his waist was even slimmer than a girl. 

There was a smile on her lips: “I’m sorry sisters, my little brother came to this place for the first time, not familiar with the area and took the wrong path. Let me take him back first.

After saying, Jiang Tang stood on tiptoe and touched his head, said with a very doting tone: “Little thing, I told you not to run around.”

Little thing……

Xia Huairun stayed silent involuntarily. 

After giving those few people a smile, Jiang Tang skillfully took his hand and left without looking back.

As soon as they out of sight of those women, Jiang Tang let go of Xia Huairun.

She patted her chest with lingering fears, “I thought they were going to hit me. Fortunately we were able to get away from it.”

After speaking, she looked at him: “Where are your bodyguards?”

Xia Huairun raised his hands to sort out his wrinkle clothes: “Who would bring bodyguards to such a place.”

“…….”

Makes sense. 

One of his shirt buttons fell off, with the lapels opened, Xia Huairun put his hands in his pockets and looked at Jiang Tang: “What about you? Why are you here?”

“I…..” Jiang Tang’s eyes rolling, “I, I come to catch adultery.” 

“Catch adultery?”

“Yeah!” Jiang Tang nodded seriously, said with gritting teeth, “My damn husband comes here to have fun, I want to teach him a lesson!”

Jiang Tang acted realistically and looked resentful as if she was going to tear the adulterer into pieces once she saw them. 

Xia Huairun couldn’t help wanted to laugh, but he felt it was not appropriate to laugh directly, so he raised his hand to covered his mouth and pretended to cough lightly: “Will you able to handle it alone?”

“I have no other choice.” Jiang Tang said in a firm tone.

“All right…..” Xia Huairun slightly pursed his lips, looking at her as if he had something to say in his eyes, but finally changed his mind and said with a gentle smile: “You are a very good girl.”

Receiving an inexplicably praised all of sudden made Jiang Tang was at loss. 

He added: “The world is colorful, you deserve better.”

He raised his hand and touched her soft black hair with his long cold fingertips, and after a short while, he quickly moved away.

Jiang Tang felt a little strange, and before she had time to think about it, she heard a familiar voice come from behind.

“You are here.”

Jiang Tang was startled, turned to look at the source of the sounds. 

Lin Suizhou’s deep and charming eyes locked on her body, and slowly walked toward her.

Jiang Tang glanced at him, and then carefully looked at Xia Huairun, secretly screaming inside.

She just told Xia Huairun a moment ago that she came here to catch adultery and now her husband turned out to be Lin Suzhou. If he finds out about it, he would definitely suspect that she deliberated, even if she really deliberated……

While Jiang Tang was confused, not knowing what to do, a group of women suddenly came out from the side and surrounded Lin Suizhou.

Jiang Tang gleaned intently at them, isn’t that the elder sisters who harassed Xia Huairun just now?

These elder sisters also took fancy of Lin Suizhou. With affectionate and ambiguous smiles, they stared at Lin Suizhou from head to toe and found that this cold-faced, abstinent, mature man is much better than the little white face before, making them unable to control and have desire to conquer. 

“Little brother, wana date?”

“Little brother, has anyone ever said that you look like a superstar?”

“Right, he looks, looks like Lin Suizhou! But he’s a CEO, not the superstar.”

Lin Suizhou lightly opened his mouth with a gloomy face: “Get lost.” 

His aura was quite strong, and his cold eyes were like falling into an ice cellar.

Those women suddenly realized that this man was not like an ordinary gigolo, they took a closer look and gasped in shock. Bullshit! This is the real Lin Suizhou! Even though the entertainment media have never dared to write about his gossip news, and knew very little about his daily life, at least they knew that he is not a kind of pleasure-seeker. They did not expect to run into him here. 

Those elder sisters didn’t dare to offend the person, and quickly scattered.

Lin Suizhou raised his hand to loosen his tie, his eyes passed through the surrounding scenery and fell directly on her.

Jiang Tang felt her head hurt. She rubbed her temples, avoiding his sight. 

“What a coincidence, President Lin also has a leisure time to enjoy social life here.”

Lin Suizhou finally noticed that there was a man standing next to Jiang Tang. He glanced over, slightly furrowed his brows: “Indeed a coincidence.”

The two are business rivals, often encountered with each other. Lin Suizhou disliked Xia Huairun, feeling that he’s hypocritical; and Xia Huairun naturally also looked down on Lin Suzihou, thinking that he pretended to be upright.

They hate each other, but they have to keep their peace on the surface.

“I have something else to do, I’ll go back first. See you next time, President Lin.”

Lin Suizhou responded lightly, but his line of sigh avoided Xia Huairun, and fell on Jiang Tang who had been silent the whole time.

He lowered his eyelids, full of gentleness in his eyes: “It’s getting late, you should go back, lest you encounter any danger.”

Jiang Tang nodded repeatedly.

“See you on Saturday.” 

Before leaving, he added: “I know I shouldn’t be involved in your private life, but….relationship should be cut off when it is broken, otherwise there will  be chaos.”

Jiang Tang nodded again. As soon as Xia Huairun walked away, she felt a gaze as sharp as a needle staring at her. 

She carefully raised her eyes and smiled at the man.

She looked as steady as a mountain on the surface, but shaking uncontrollably in her heart. However, when she thought about it again, why would she fluster? She didn’t fool around with anyone or cheat on him. Thinking like this, Jiang Tang’s back immediately straightened up: “It’s almost ten o’clock, let’s return.”

“Hm, Qian Qian also said she’s tired.”

The two walked side by side to the room.

When they reached the door, Lin Suizhou suddenly grabbed her hand which was reaching on the doorknob.

He has a pair of beautiful hands, with slender fingers and well-defined bones. Because of the force, the blue veins on  the back of his hand were slightly protruding.

Jiang Tang’s heart sank, raising her eyes and meeting with his deep gaze.

“What did Xia Huairun mean when he said….relationship should be cut off when it is broken, otherwise there will  be chaos?”

“Uh……”

Lin Suizhou’s figure approached her, and his voice was low but somewhat dangerous: “What did you say to him?”

Jiang Tang opened her mouth and her eyes couldn’t help avoiding him: “Noth- nothing.”

He continued to ask: “What did he mean to see you on Saturday?”

Jiang Tang shrank her neck, and her entire body was almost stuck to the door, “Can you….stay a little away from me?”

“No.”

“But you have bad breath.”

Lin Suzihou leaned closer to her and deliberately breathed out on her face, “Stink you to death!”

“……”

“…………..”

Childish! 

Jiang Tang resisted the urge to roll her eyes, simply gave up the desire to survive, and said frankly: “I’m working as a dance teacher at his house.”

“What else?”

“I told him that my husband is fickle and lascivious, fooled around with women. My marriage is miserable, no one loves and cares, like a white cabbage in the ground. After hearing this, he sympathized with me and raised my salary by five times.” As she said, Jiang Tang stretched out her five fingers and shook in front of him.

Lin Suizhou gritted his back tooth, took a few deep breaths to calm down his anger, and said patiently: “Why didn’t you tell him directly that your husband is Lin Suizhou?”

“That’s not good.”

“Why not?”

“If I say that, our relationship will be exposed.”

Lin Suizhou took a deep breath: “Are you so afraid of our relationship being known? Is it being my wife makes you feel very embarrassed?” 

Hearing this, Jiang Tang frowned: “Mr. Lin, It was you who didn’t announce our marriage and kept it in secret, why did you throw the pot on my head instead? Please don’t be such a person, Lin Suizhou!”

So is it all his fault?

The reason why he didn’t publish their marriage to the media was because he wanted to protect his children, wanted them to have a quiet childhood, but he didn’t tell her not to let others know that he is her husband.

Lin Suizhou pressed his lips tightly and his eyes fixed: “Okay, I will hold a press conference tomorrow then and let everyone know who you are. Are you satisfied?”

Jiang Tang was shocked and hurriedly waved her hands: “Don’t, don’t, don’t. If you do that, Mr. Xia will know that I lied to him, maybe he will fire me.”

His anger finally reached its limit. He laughed through his anger and said: “Are you afraid of losing your job or afraid can’t be with him anymore?”

Lin Suizhou originally thought he would get another answer, but Jiang Tang lowered her eyes and seemed to consider it seriously and finally raised her head to look at him: “All of them.”

“……”

All of them.

She said all of them.

Very good.

Lin Suizhou opened the door with a click, without looking at her again.

Inside the room, the three children leaned together drowsily. Lin Suizhou carried Liangshen with one hand, and Liang Qian with the other hand, looking steadily forward and said: “Take Chu Yi.”

Weird.

Jiang Tang frowned, and silently pushed Chu Yi’s small body.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at Jiang Tang blankly: Ma ma?”

“We are leaving.” Jiang Tang packed up the stuff and asked: “Do you want me to carry you?”

Chu Yi shook his head, got up from the sofa and held her hand.

Lin Suzihou was silent the whole time even until he dropped them off at the house, he didn’t say a word. Looking at the car shadow that was gradually going away, Jiang Tang noticed that her villain husband was sulking again. As for the reason he was upset about….was it because of what she said earlier or because she works for Xia Huairun?

Jiang Tang slightly furrowed her brows and walked upstairs with Chu Yi.

The road in the middle of the night was dark and quiet, the car was driving on the road alone, and Lin Suizhou looked at the road ahead with deep eyes. 

He was filled with indignation, and this indignation has been piling up since Jiang Tang mentioned about divorce. 

After learning about Chu Yi’s illness, Lin Suizhou spent an entire night thinking about many things. Thinking about his childhood, his marriage, and his life.

Witnessing parting in life and death, Lin Suizhou saw the cruel in the world and seemed to become like a senseless animal, wandering around the world numbly. He had no joy or sorrow, ignorance and no awareness. Later, he married and had children…..

Lin Suizhou also used to think about getting divorce, but marriage in the upper class is not as casual as ordinary people. He has a lot to worry about and the most important thing is that the children are too young, he can’t let them have no mother. More importantly….he doesn’t want to disappoint his adoptive father with his dying wish.

The adoptive father said Jiang Tang was pitiful, he should treat her well. No matter what happened, he can’t abandon his wife. 

He was stubborn and always keeps this in mind.

But is this really good for being like this?

“Pa pa….”

While he was in a trance, Liangqian’s voice came from the back seat all of sudden.

He looked through the rearview mirror and saw Liangqian’s big eyes blinking. 

“What’s the matter?”

“When can Ge Ge and Mama return home?”

Lin Suizhou smiled: “Don’t you want your mother to stay at home?”

“I don’t want…..” Liangqian pouted, “Because mama used to be mean to me, she doesn’t like me.”

“Mama doesn’t dislike you.”

Liangqian whispered: “But  mama is not here these days, Qian Qian felt so lonely….”

Lin Suizhou didn’t speak, but couldn’t help tighten his hands holding the steering wheel. 

“Evil mother will bring Ge Ge back soon, right?”

Lin Suizhou replied with an affirmative look: “Of course, mama won’t leave Qian Qian for too long.”

The little girl was relieved after hearing this and laughed lovingly. 

Liangshen, who was next to her mumbling in a daze: “Don’t want mama to come back…..”

Lin Suizhou gave a low smile, and his heart suddenly relaxed a lot. 

After playing for a whole day, Chu Yi was also tired.

After coaxing him off, Jiang Tang grabbed a book and started reading it. The name of the book was “How to become a screenwriter”. Although she had known screenwriter friends and modified the script herself before, the basics were still empty. With a good foundation, it will be easier to enter this circle in the future. 

The clock ticked, Jiang Tang was a little sleepy after reading a few pages. She yawned and got up to make herself a cup of coffee.

The food she ate today was probably too spicy, Jiang Tang felt a little pain in her stomach. She felt the pain coming from her stomach, rubbed it twice uncomfortably. After replacing the coffee into simple hot water, she took out the medicine box and searched for the stomach ache medicine. 

Although she tried to be gentle with her movements, she still woke up Chu Yi.

Hearing the footsteps approaching, Jiang Tang looked up and saw Chu Yi was standing before her in his pajamas.

Chu Yi glanced at the medicine scattered all over the place.

“Are you not feeling well?” 

Jiang Tang didn’t conceal it: “My stomach is feeling sort of upset, nothing serious.”

He frowned: “Is it hurting so bad?”

“Not very bad.” Noticing his bare foot, Jiang Tang immediately got up and held him to the sofa, “Chu Yi, you have to wear shoes whenever you come out, otherwise you will catch a cold.”

“I forgot it.” He blinked, “Ma, go and lie down.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll look for the medicine for you.”

Jiang Tang said: “I really appreciate your help, but can you read the words on there.”

“I learned a lot of words after school, A Wu also taught me a lot. I can read them.”

She was a little doubtful but could not bear to see Chu Yi sad. Most importantly, her stomach hurt badly. Jiang Tang endured it and walked back to the bedroom. Her health condition was not before she crossed over. Stomach pain is a common disease of almost all actors. They are busy all day, unable to have three meals a day properly. However, she didn’t expect that this host’s stomach is also not good. In fact, this body is even more vulnerable than the original hers. 

Once she reached the bed, Chu Yi came in cautiously with warm water and stomach ache medicine. 

He carefully handed the cup of water to Jiang Tang, took out two pills and handed them to Jiang Tang: “Mama, take medicine.”

After drinking warm water, she looked at him: “Thank you.”

“Mama, be careful not to catch a cold.” Chu Yi pulled the blanket to cover her, and finally climbed onto the bed, putting his small palm on her stomach above her clothes.

Chu Yi said with bright eyes: “Ma ma, it won’t hurt anymore after rubbing it.”

Jiang Tang could not help but smile. She felt warm and even the pain was relieved.

“Have a sleep.”

“Yeah.”

The heat from Chu Yi’s body was as warm as a small heater.

Jiang Tang carefully pulled the blanket over, and slowly closed her eyes.

Because of her stomach pain, she didn’t fall asleep until midnight. When she woke up again, it was already past nine o’clock. Oh no~ Jiang Tang cried out and hurriedly got up to the living room.

Chu Yi was gone, Jiang Tang looked around and saw a breakfast bag placed on the table with a note underneath.

[I’m going to school. If mama is still unwell, you should go to the hospital. From: Chu Yi.]

Jiang Tang’s lips curled up. She pulled the chair and sat down. Opening the breakfast bag he bought, she saw millet congee, and perhaps he felt that deep-fried dough sticks are too greasy, not good for the stomach, so he replaced it with vegetarian steamed stuffed buns.

Still having a stomach ache, Jiang Tang didn’t have an appetite. After forcing herself to eat a few bites and get ready to go to the hospital after taking shower.

Jiang Tang, who has died once, has cherished her body very much. She doesn’t want to learn from those bravado, who will not go have a check up even if feeling unwell. Who will be responsible if something  goes wrong? In the end oneself who suffered. 

After putting on a light makeup, Jiang Tang drove to the hospital.

Because she chose to drive on the bustling road, and ended up stuck with a traffic jam. Looking at the long queue of cars, Jiang Tang vaguely felt her stomachache became more painful. She couldn’t help but leaned on the steering wheel, drowsily, and suddenly there was an urging horn behind her.

Jiang Tang came back to her senses and started to move her car slowly.

There was another red light, and suddenly the phone rang.

It was a strange number.

She froze for a few seconds before answering the phone.

A woman’s sofe voice came from the other line, “Hello, are you Lin Lianshen’s mother?”

Jiang Tang was startled and answered: “Yes, I am.”

“I’m Lin Liangshen’s teacher. He had a fight with the other two students today, is it convenient for you to come to the school?”
