Chapter 243: Extra - Tian Rou: The Records Of A Winner In Life, I (1/2)

Baldy and Rou decided to get married after two years of dating.

After making that decision, they promptly met each other’s parents, arranged a banquet, and got married without any hassle. But not even two months after their marriage, before Tian Rou had even printed the photographs she took during their honeymoon, she found out that Baldy’s ex-girlfriend had returned to the country.

Baldy’s ex-girlfriend was a truly impressive and intimidating woman; she was one of the top ten upcoming new fashion designers in the United States, a genius, and even a beautiful woman.

After hearing the news, Tian Rou secretly tore her pillow to pieces from her frustration. Why did her life feel so dramatic?! Why did Baldy’s ex-girlfriend have to return now of all times?!

And then, she found out that his ex-girlfriend was still single!

Spurred on by a new fit of rage, she destroyed the other pillow as well.

When Baldy came home and found that their pillows were both shredded apart, he curiously yet tentatively asked, “What happened?”

Rou looked at him and put on a false smile. “Wangcai happened.”

Wangcai was a dog that Tian Rou was raising, and she was a mongrel. When she heard Tian Rou call her name, the dog happily wagged her tail at Tian Rou, her teeth bared in a facsimile of a smile.

That was when Tian Rou realized that she had misspoken—if she pushed the blame onto Wangcai like that, wasn’t that equating her behavior to a dog’s?

Tian Rou felt very vexed with herself, but Baldy misinterpreted it as her worrying about the pillows. He arrogantly waved his hands. “So what if they were torn to pieces? I’ll just have someone order more tomorrow. Then, she can bite as many of them as she wants.”

He was behaving like a stereotypical rich person.

Tian Rou wanted to laugh at him, but she didn’t have a chance to—right after saying this, Baldy went into the bathroom to take a shower.

At that time, even Tian Rou noticed that something was amiss. The only person who would change their clothes and get into the shower right after entering the door was Lu Chenzhou. Baldy, on the other hand, usually had to be forced to shower; in the winter, Tian Rou almost had to pull out a leather whip to force him to take one.

When Baldy came out of the shower, Tian Rou was waiting for him on the sofa. “You seem to be very particular about your hygiene lately.”

He sat down next to her as he smiled in an ingratiating manner. “Isn’t that because I want to be with you forever? I’m afraid that you’ll grow tired of me if I don’t.”

Tian Rou looked at his dripping wet hair, and a sinking feeling filled her heart.

Due to her personality, Tian Rou didn’t have that many close friends. She was too blunt, and the only people who were willing to stay around her were the ones she had grown up with.

In her heart, she only had two best friends, Shen Wei and Cheng Xi. Cheng Xi wasn’t here, so when she was unhappy, Tian Rou turned to Shen Wei.

But Shen Wei was currently busy with her son. He had just turned one, and was a raucous little chubby tiger who was constantly running and jumping around.

Ever since Shen Wei had her son, she had stopped attending as many events as she used to, and she had even started to slowly transfer control of her company away. She didn’t lack money or social standing, and even though she had divorced Fu Mingyi, the Fu family still treasured her and her child.

After all, Fu Mingyi was the only son of the Fu family, and her son might very well be the only grandson of the Fu family.

Shen Wei’s days were even better than before her divorce.

When Shen Wei heard Tian Rou bring up the matter with Baldy and his ex-girlfriend, she laughed coldly, put her son’s toy car aside, and had the nanny bring him downstairs. “Give me a moment. I’ll help you investigate.”

Shen Wei had far more connections than Tian Rou did; after all, the two inhabited different social circles, so she was also able to find out much more than Tian Rou much quicker. “The two of them did meet up during a social gathering last night. Even Lu Chenzhou was there.”
