Chapter 238 - Catching The Secret Lover (1/2)

Chapter 238 Catching The Secret LoverUpon looking at the furious Zhong Ze, Tang Xia was a little shocked by his gaze. Her heart could not help but sink a little. However, since she was already caught, she could not become a scaredy-cat now. “I already said that I’m just going to keep it for two days. Why are you so serious?”

When she saw that Zhong Ze was about to hit her, Tang Xia quickly dodged. Although she might have dodged his attack, his hand was still squeezing her wrist tightly. He was exerting so much strength that it seemed as if he was going to crush her bones.

Hua Zheng frowned tightly instantly. Is this dude even a man? It’s just a jade pendant!

“I asked you to let go! Can’t you hear?” Zhong Ze practically squeezed these words through his teeth.

She felt the strength exerted on her hand becoming stronger. Her hand was undergoing immense pain. She seemingly heard a crack, as if her bone had been cracked open.

In that split second, Tang Xia wanted to push him away, but he was too strong. He was also prepared this time around. No matter how hard she pushed, it was to no avail. He stood there motionlessly, glaring at her.

Helpless, she could only soften her attitude and shout quickly, “I’ll give it back to you! I’ll let it go! Is that enough?” As she spoke, she passed the jade pendant to him. Zhong Ze then let go of her hand. After taking the jade pendant from her, he flung her hand away.

Tang Xia stumbled two steps back and quickly checked her wrist. She realized that there was a blue-purple spot on her wrist and a few clearly-defined fingerprints. She was pissed immediately. This should be considered domestic violence!

Bi Luo, who had been standing beside her, quickly went over to check her hand. Upon seeing her wrist, she became dumbfounded instantly and gasped in shock. “Madam! Your wrist! Does it hurt?”

Tang Xia did not know what to say. Could she say that it was already numb, so she felt no pain?

Zhong Ze put the jade pendant back at his waist area, turned around and looked at Tang Xia in disgust. “Get lost!” he said with extreme annoyance.

Tang Xia knew that she had failed. Upon seeing how delighted Ling Er was as she sat on the couch, Tang Xia said nothing and remained expressionless. She cared only about her mission. She was not interested in how the people here viewed her. Bi Luo quickly followed her.

Along the way, Tang Xia said nothing. She just walked very fast. Bi Luo did not know what else to do. She could only trot behind while panting, running and shouting at the same time, “Madam! Wait for me! Wait for me, Madam!”

However, Tang Xia had no intention of waiting for her at all. As if she had not heard anything, she ran back to her room without stopping. Tang Xia sat down on the chair as soon as she entered her room in a daze without saying anything.

When Bi Luo finally made it, she leaned against the door and panted heavily. “Madam… What happened to you today? Why are you so different?”

Tang Xia, who was in a daze, was brought back to reality by her words and frowned. “What’s different about me?” Bi Luo regained her breath and said carefully and respectfully, “Madam was more willing to cause trouble for Sir than usual…”

Tang Xia raised her brow. By right, Tang Ning should not have been bullied easily in the past. Why had she become a coward only in front of Zhong Ze?

Tang Xia suddenly turned around and glared at Bi Luo. “What’s with Zhong Ze? Does the jade pendant hold any significance for him?” Tang Xia thought that Zhong Ze did not seem like someone who would flare up at others often.

Bi Luo froze. She felt that Tang Xia had crossed the line earlier. “The jade pendant that you tried to snatch away just now… had been given to him by the late First Madam…”

Tang Xia was shocked. There was still a First Madam? She finally realized what was going on. So that was the case… She understood suddenly. If the pedant had been given to him by his previous lover, it was no wonder that he treasured it so much.

She became happier instantly. It seemed like she had to form a long-term plan in order to get the jade pendant. While thinking about this, Tang Xia stood up slowly. “Bi Luo, find me some ointment for my bruises and help me apply it on my wrist.”

Bi Luo, who had also been staring at her wrist for a very long time, responded immediately and turned to find some ointment.

Tang Xia was getting bored of staying in the house alone. Thus, she stood up right away. Perhaps she should go to the courtyard to take a stroll. Since she had nothing to do anyway, perhaps a change of mood would help her think of an idea to get the jade pendant.

As she spoke, she turned around and left the room. Tang Xia looked around, rubbing her wrist every now and then. By now, the sky had gradually darkened. The whole mansion seemed to be enveloped in the quiet moonlight.

Tang Xia could not help but sigh. The night view of this ancient place was indeed beautiful. Just as she was immersed in this night view, she suddenly heard a sound behind her and quickly turned around.

She saw that there seemed to be something in the bush that was shaking. Feeling confused, Tang Xia walked towards it and gently spread open the bush. She was greeted by the back view of a man who was looking around sneakily.

This was strange. A man was looking around the mansion sneakily at night. No matter how hard she thought, she did not think that he was doing anything good. She suddenly had the urge to play a trick on him. She walked up to him directly and tapped her index finger on his shoulder.
