Chapter 139 Volcanic Eruption (1/2)
But Tang Xia didn't feel at ease at all in the live show. She had been occupied since Jiang Yuecheng left home and didn't finish washing clothes and cooking till around 12 o'clock.
Then Tang Xia hurriedly took out the lunch-box, carefully sorted and put dishes into it and was about to bring it to Jiang Yuecheng after changing her clothes in the room.
”Hey, do you think that's all you need to do after cooking for Dacheng?” Tang Xia's mother-in-law said like a peacock.
”Eh? What do you mean... ”
”What do you mean? Don't I need to have lunch?” Tang Xia's mother-in-law showed the whites of her eyes and interrupted her.
”Mother-in-law, I've saved your share of every dish,” Tang Xia said.
”What? You want me to eat the rest of the fish and meat? Don't you know the doctor had advised me to eat light food only?”
”What a scheming and malicious woman! Do you hope my body to break down so that you'll live with ease in this family?”
Helplessly, Tang Xia looked at the dishes she cooked, which were already light enough. Knowing all her arguments against her mother-in-law would be in vain, she cooked again and brought to her mother-in-law.
Her mother-in-law pretended to have accepted reluctantly after tasting her dishes and said, ”I'll make do with it. Why are you looking at me? Go and take the dishes to my son, or he'll get hungry...”
Tang Xia took a relief since she was not asked to cook again by her mother-in-law. It had been over 12 o'clock, she washed her face, changed her clothes in the room, loosened her hair, looked into the mirror hurriedly and set out.
But the girl in the mirror looked attractive with her had big eyes, bushy eyelashes, which were like feathers, and amber pupils. Her hair resting on her shoulders was as fluffy as seaweed. She was dressed in a white maxi skirt, a little tight in her waist, looking simple but elegant. All these made her fairly appealing.
She didn't notice the warm sunshine till she went out, which was flooded the earth evenly and generously.
Tang Xia smiled at the sun and cheered herself up. ”You can do it!”
Tang Xia tried to pick up her pace on the way to Jiang Yuecheng's company but she had to keep an eye on the dishes.
Her hands went wet after walking for a few minutes, so did her face and her neck. But Tang Xia looked even more attractive after sweating, who was just like cotton rose that had just sprung from the water, looking refreshing.
She had been out of breath when she arrived at Jiang Yuecheng's company. Tang Xia wiped the sweat off her forehead and walked in Jiang Yuecheng's company directly.
In the lift, Tang Xia was in a trance when she stared at the numbers of floors.
Some people around Tang Xia muttered and exchanged glances with each other when they saw her. ”Eh? Isn't this his wife? She's so tolerant and brings him lunch.”
”Maybe his wife hasn't know this yet.”
”She's kind of appealing.”
”I know that men never get satisfied with their own wives.”
”Two guys in the lift kept muttering and squinting at Tang Xia. Though Tang Xia didn't hear them clearly, she still felt uncomfortable for this.
”Ding-dong.” The lift had arrived at Jiang Yuecheng's floor.
”Oh. The lift finally arrived, or I'll be embarrassed by their comments about me.” Tang Xia took a sigh of relief and though in her mind.
The moment she stepped out of the lift, Tang Xia saw Jiang Yuecheng and another woman's who backed onto her. Jiang Yuecheng's right arm was around the woman's shoulders and his left hand was holding the woman's hand, while the woman looked timid and lovable in his arms.
The woman was speaking to Jiang Yuecheng in a slightly angry and coaxing voice. ”When the hell would you divorce that old ball and chain? I've been waiting for you for too long.”
Then she attitudinized and beat Jiang Yuecheng on his chest.
Tang Xia recognized at once that the woman who turned her back to her was exactly her younger cousin, Zhou Linlin.
While Jiang Yuecheng gave her a coshering look, which he had never shown to Tang Xia. ”Take it easy, baby. You need to wait a little longer for a chance.”
That was disgusting. Tang Xia felt sick and her hands which held the lunch-box trembled out of anger and disgrace.
She sneered and calmed down, and said, ”What are you waiting for? Why not get divorced now?” The unexpected voice surprised Jiang Yuecheng and Zhou Linlin, who suddenly shuddered and looked blue in their faces.
They loosened their grips hurriedly. Zhou Linlin gave a forced smile to Tang Xia with her stiff face, while Jiang Yuecheng, who kept his equanimity, pretended to chillax and said,
”Where's my lunch? Why do you come so late? Your cousin Linlin and I are thinking about eating out.”
Tang Xia took out the Fried Live Fish with Astragalus Membranaceus, Sliced Pig Ears with Chili Sauce and Spicy Chicken with Eight-Treasures that she had cooked laboriously this morning and put them on the table chillily.
”There are all that you demanded this morning. Don't hurry.” Tang Xia said to Jiang Yuecheng, smiling with a mocking look, which horrified Zhou Linlin who had already felt guilty.
”And I knew you well so I brought you two servings so that you can eat together.” Tang Xia continued.
