Chapter 423 - Return Your Three Slaps (1/2)
Encountering Song Meiyu had depressed Chen Chen. Jiang Rui took her to a new shop. It was said that the dishes in the restaurant looked very cute and were specially designed for girls. Finally, the dessert was served. When Chen Chen was counting the total number of marble chocolates on the plate, two people walked up to the table next to them.
Immediately, she looked rather pale. Jiang Rui looked over his shoulder with a cloudy face.
“Jiang Rui!” Bai Weirong shouted in surprise, and then glanced at Lu Tao.
Lu Tao smiled at her. “I told you it was them just now.”
They were going to eat on another street. But when they passed by the restaurant, Lu Tao recognized Jiang Rui’s car. At that time, Bai Weirong doubted it. Now, it turned out to really be Jiang Rui’s car.
“Why are you still with this woman?” Bai Weirong pointed her finger at Chen Chen. “Didn’t she get you into enough trouble?”
Jiang Rui glanced at Lu Tao and stared at Bai Weirong’s face. “Mrs. Lu, mind your own business.”
“You…” As Bai Weirong’s face clouded over, Lu Tao quickly held on to her. “Weirong, you were just discharged from the hospital. Don’t get too agitated.”
Bai Weirong appreciated that Lu Tao stood up for her, so she smiled at him. “I’m fine. I just think that Jiang Rui has suffered a lot because of that woman.”
“Chief Jiang, I’m sorry to cause you trouble because of what happened before. But that was our first child after all. Wei Rong is still very sad now!” Lu Tao looked very sad and said, “That’s life!”
Chen Chen’s face got paler. Jiang Rui suddenly pushed back the chair. “Let’s go.”
“Jiang Rui!” Bai Weirong stopped him. “You were suspended because of this woman. Why do you still stand up for her?”
“Have you been suspended?” Chen Chen looked at Jiang Rui in a panic. “Didn’t you say that you’re on vacation?”
Bai Weirong burst into laughter and said, “Jiang Rui lied to you. It’s you who killed my child, but he confessed that it was him who did it. Now his career is ruined. You are such a hoodoo! You bitch!”
“Smack!” Jiang Rui slapped Bai Weirong in her face. “That’s payback for slapping my wife before.”
“Smack!” Jiang Rui gave her another slap and swung his hands. “That is for insulting my wife.”
“Smack!” Jiang Rui gave her a third slap and sneered. “I give you this slap because you make me sick the moment I see you.”
“Jiang Rui!” Lu Tao finally realized what had happened. “You’ve gone too far!”
Bai Weirong’s mouth had split. She was covering her blue and swollen face, her mouth could not close, and a drop of blood fell to the ground.
“Woo…” Words failed her, and she could only look at Chen Chen, hatefully and tearfully.
Jiang Rui held Chen Chen in his arms. “If you go on looking at my wife like that, I will not stop hitting you.”
“Jiang Rui, remember that you are suspended from duty. If you dare to slap her in public, I will have you arrested.”
“Why didn’t you stop me from slapping her just now?” Jiang Rui glanced at him. “Get out if you don’t have the guts.”
Chen Chen was no longer afraid now, staring at Jiang Rui. She knew that it was these two people who had framed her, but she still felt sorry for the aborted child.
However, seeing Jiang Rui give Bai Weirong three slaps mercilessly, such feelings were driven out of her mind. There had to be a reason why Jiang Rui had kept the truth from her.
“Let’s go!” Jiang Rui pulled her away. The waiter beside them was stunned, forgetting to remind them to pay the bill.
After getting in the car, Chen Chen exclaimed, “We haven’t paid the bill yet!”
“Rest assured, Lu Tao will be asked to pay.” Jiang Rui started the car and saw his lady keep silent. He coughed and asked her, “Why don’t you ask me?”
Chen Rui murmured, “If you wanted to tell me, you would have said it sooner!”
Jiang Rui chuckled and touched her head. “Do you remember Captain Gu?”
“Yes, that uncle with whiskers.”
Jiang Rui slowly said, “I asked him to tell others that I had been suspended, so that the Lu family would be at ease. Thus, they can be more likely to make mistakes.”
“But… didn’t you say that you had some evidence of Lu Tao’s crimes?” Jiang Rui once told her that Lu Tao had something to do with his own father’s death.
“Not enough.” Jiang Rui frowned. “I want to deliver a knockout blow to the Lu family.” Seeing Chen Chen shocked, he was amused and pinched her cheek. “Silly girl, are you scared?”
Chen Chen awkwardly said, “No… no, I just didn’t expect…”
“I didn’t mean to be so merciless,” Jiang Rui said helplessly, “but the Lu family always plays dirty. If it can’t be uprooted, the capital will always be in turmoil. I would face a hundred terrorists rather than be stabbed in my back by someone who should have been one of us when I face terrorists someday.”
“I understand.” Chen Chen nodded. “My brother once told me to eliminate anything that goes against me and not to give them a chance to hurt me.”
Jiang Rui glanced at her with admiration. “The kids from the Wan family are really extraordinary.”
“But it’s really disappointing today.” Chen Chen pouted and said, “How unlucky I was to run into someone I hate!” But she stared at Jiang Rui with admiration immediately. “You looked so handsome when you slapped her just now!”
“But not handsome at other times?” Jiang Rui squinted and asked.
Chen Chen shook her head firmly. “No, no, no. At other times, you’re handsome, too!”
“You can have an extra container of ice cream tonight, for you did a good job just now.”
When getting in the car, Tuan Zi saw Chen Chen grinning because of the extra carton of ice cream. In the evening, while taking a shower, she asked, “Mom, did my dad kiss you?”
“Nonsense!” Chen Chen drove Hei Zi out of the bathtub. “Why should I be pleased because of that? Besides, he didn’t kiss me.”
Hei Zi whimpered beside the bathtub and wanted to jump in. Tuan Zi nodded. “Mom, Tuan Zi said that it didn’t carry any infectious viruses and it wanted to come in the bathtub and wash with us.”
“Did it say that? Or you said that?” Chen Chen doubted the strangely tacit understanding between Tuan Zi and Hei Zi.
“Woof! Woof!” Hei Zi barked.
Tuan Zi said, “Mom, Hei Zi said that your breasts are bigger than before.”
