My husband: A Legendary Man - Chapter 1
I've got married?
A luxurious manor, in the western suburb of Yanjing City.
As soon as she arrived at the iron gate, a dull voice inside came out, "Just
put the food at the door!"
Qingcheng Liu stood at the door and said, "Why not let me in and stay
for a while?"
Qingcheng Liu did not give up, "I just want to see you. Please let me in.
I’ll leave right away after that."
"There are too many hidden traps inside the room. You will get hurt if
you come in." A cold voice came from the iron house.
2
That's right. The man in the house was Qingcheng's loved son, Andy Wu,
the heir to the First Family in the country——the Wu family!
Hearing what his mother said, Andy gave a reply slowly, "False friends
are worse than bitter enemies. It’s always right to be cautious."
Qingcheng said, "You are right. But you have been staying in the house
since you became the heir to the Wu family. I haven't seen you for four
years. Don’t you think you are too cautious on this?"
Andy Wu cares most about his life. He has been hoping to live to a
hundred year with valor since in his early age. That’s why he changed his
name to Andy.
As Andy’s mother, she certainly knows about her son. He is so clever that
he is good at learning everything. Now he has been a man versed in
both literature and martial arts, in addition, he was appointed as the heir
to the Wu family when he just came of age.
Qingcheng could do nothing with Andy. Seeing that Andy didn’t eat, she
sighed deeply. After putting down the food gently, she had to leave.
It was not until Qingcheng Liu disappeared from sight that Andy Wu
took the food and began to eat.

"It’s poisonous!"
Puff!
……
Andy Wu slowly opened his eyes on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
His fists were clenched tightly. A strong force was flowing rapidly inside
him with his eyes flashing a sharp light in the silent space.
He was very concerned about his security, and staying cautious about
everything all his life, but he never expected that he was poisoned.
This woman, named Jenny Xia, was known as a beauty in Westplain City.
Andy let loose his fists immediately and looked at Jenny Xia.
4
After a while, Andy asked, "Who are you?"
Jenny shouted angrily at Andy, "You stupid! Don't you remember your
wife?"
Wife?
As Jenny was looking at such a stupid man, she became more angry at
the sight. She frowned and complained, "I can’t understand why Grandpa
took such a fool as my husband!"
Three years ago, Guangyao Xia (The old man of Xia family) gave his order
that his beloved grand-daughter Jenny be given to Andy Wu in marriage.
Later, and shortly after Guangyao Xia died, his last will was that Jenny
couldn’t divorce Andy.
Though Jenny didn’t understand her Grandpa's thoughts, she obeyed his
will. She didn't divorce but lived in pain.
5
Now, Andy had regained all his memories!
"Get up! Follow me!" Jenny felt reluctant and said, walking out of the
ward.
Andy looked at her back with complication. After a while, he took off the
hospital gown and put on his own clothes, following her out.
On the way, Jenny was driving her Audi Q3 very fast, without saying a
word.
During the past three years, Andy had done so many unbelievable stupid
things since he became a son-in-law to the Xia family, and he was a well-
known local fool in Westplain City, being ridiculed and humiliated by the
neighborhood.
"Don't say anything no matter who you meet. Please, don't disgrace me."
Jenny suddenly said coldly.
It’s six o’clock in the evening. They arrived at the Xia family's villa.
6
As soon as she pulled over, Guilan Huang, Jenny’s mother, came over
and said anxiously to her, "Jenny, why are you so late? The banquet has
begun already."
Seeing Andy, Guilan shouted angrily, "Jenny, why did you take this fool
here? Are you going to kill me in this way?"
Guilan was the one who hated Andy most. Since Andy became a member
of the Xia family, Guilan had suffered almost everyday by Andy, making
her look ten years older.
In the past three years, Guilan often kept sending Andy to mental
hospital for treatment or for other purposes, but Jenny would bring him
back home shortly after his being sent there. This time Andy was so crazy
as to hit the wall with his head, almost cracking it asunder. Guilan
thought Andy would stay in the hospital for a long time, However, Jenny
brought him back again! Guilan was very angry at this.
Jenny said seriously, "He is my husband after all. He ought to attend Xia
family’s banquet." Then she brought Andy into the villa.
The Xia family was the second largest family in Westplain City. In the
family banquet, every one of Xia family gathered together in the villa.
As soon as Jenny and Andy came in, someone exclaimed, "Look! The silly
son-in-law of our Xia family is coming!"
7
"Andy, I heard that you often took rubbish back home, is that true?"
"Haha. What’s worse, I heard that he washed his face with sewer's water!"
"Do you know I once saw him grabbing a bone with a dog!"
"It was said this time he even hit the wall with bare head. Guess, what
would he do next time?"
All the words filled the spot continuously. Jenny knew that these relatives
were always making fun of Andy. She thought she could ignore all of
these. But actually, she couldn’t stand it. A fool husband always made her
inferior to others.
Unconsciously, Jenny lowered her head and hurried toward the table.
Andy glanced at her, who was almost fleeing away, and followed her.
However, Bill Xia, Jenny’s cousin, suddenly stopped Andy and snapped to
Jenny, "Andy Wu can't sit at the table!"
Bill was young but extraordinary, who was favored and valued by the old
lady of the Xia Family. Therefore, Bill was emboldened to bully Andy
superciliously. He never treated Andy as a man but fooled him as an
animal.
Hearing what Bill said, Jenny’s sullen expression appeared paler. She
retorted acidly, "He is my husband. Why can't he sit at the table?"
Bill said arrogantly, "A fool who grabs food from a dog isn’t qualified to
have dinner with us!"
8
He was unanimously agreed by the rest of the Xia family members. All
said that Andy was not allowed to the table.
Although Jenny didn't like Andy either, she couldn't endure these people
bullying Andy so brazenly. She raised her voice and insisted, "Our
marriage contract was approved by Grandfather. Andy is the son-in-law
of Xia family. He should attend the family banquet!"
Bill laughed disdainfully, "Haha, I haven’t thought you should protect this
fool so much. Okay, want to eat here? Go there." Bill pointed to the
corner of the hall.
Obviously, Bill asked Andy to eat dog food. Andy could indeed do that.
But it was absolutely a shame on Jenny. Her eyes turned red almost with
tears, saying angrily, "Bill, don't go too far!"
Bill didn't take it seriously, "How? Your foolish husband has eaten dog
food before. It’s not bad to eat this Samoyed’s delicious fish and meat."
Bill shouted to Andy, "Go hurry to eat before the dog eat up!"
Formerly, Andy was most afraid of Bill and did what Bill asked to do. But
at this time, Andy didn’t move at all as if not hearing Bill at all.
Bill felt disgraced at once. He raised his arm angrily and threatened to hit
him, "I ask you to eat now. Don’t you hear me?"

My husband: A Legendary Man - Chapter 2
You are so lucky
Andy Wu, used to be obedient, suddenly he went mad!
"You said ‘shut up“ to me?" Bill responded first and shouted, glowering
at him.
The others began to whisper to one another. They knew that Bill had
been infuriated so drastically that Andy would get it in the neck.
Jenny knew that Bill was an aggressive guy. In order to prevent Andy
from being injured by Bill, she pulled Andy away at once and explained
to Bill, "His head was badly injured. Please don't take offense at him."
Not listening to her at all, Bill shouted testily, "Get out of here!"
Bill said cruelly, "So what? Today I must kick his butt!" He rushed toward
Andy in spite of Jenny.
The old lady of the Xia family suddenly came out of the room and
thundered strictly as the scene was out of control.
10
Mrs. Xia is absolutely the leader in Xia family. Since the old man died, the
whole Xia family respect her. As she indeed has abilities, no one dares to
go against her.
Seeing the old lady, all of people in the hall were silent right away
including the arrogant Bill, who immediately returned to his seat.
Andy had been so hungry for the whole day that he had a big mouth of
fancy food on the table regardless of politeness as if nothing had
happened just now.
Except Andy, no one would start eating unless the old lady went to the
table. Without any scruple, he was gorging alone.
Many people at the table looked at Andy with contempt and disgust,
itching to slap him. Meanwhile, the old lady did not notice him at all.
After sitting on the seat of host, she said, "Well. Don't be overcautious.
Let's start! "
The aura became lively immediately when everyone began to eat, talking
and laughing.
Guilan, who sat at the same table with Andy, blushed. She complained to
Jenny with resentment, "Jenny, why did you bring him here? He not only
disgraced us but also offended Bill. "
11
"Yeah. Are you spoiling our appetite sitting with such a fool?"
"Bad luck!"
Halfway through the family banquet, the old lady suddenly stood up and
shouted, "Now, let me announce a good news!" The old lady was over
seventy years old, old but vigorous enough, whose voice was sonorous.
Every family feast, the old lady would announce important news. Hearing
this, everyone except Andy put down the chopsticks, listening to the old
lady carefully.
The old lady paused for a second and continued, "This morning, the
Wang's Group visited our family to propose a marriage. The eldest son of
Wang family, Shihao, is planning to marry one of our Xia family girls!"
It's well known that Wang's Group was a prominent Group in Westplain
City. As a first-class family in Westplain City, marrying into Wang's Family
meant marrying into the purple.
Others were also excitedly discussing who was the lucky one to be
selected by the Wang family.
12
Julia was obviously the first possible candidate.
The most outstanding girls among so many beautiful girls in Xia family
were Jane, Jenny and Julia, who were called Three Daughters of the Xia
Family. They were not only beautiful but also talented.
Among them, Jenny and Jane both had married, only Julia still was single.
As many of them guessed each other, the old lady suddenly said, "No
more guesses. It's Jenny."
After that, the old lady looked at Jenny and smiled, "Jenny, you are so
lucky."
The noise ceased instantly. Everyone was stunned that the Wang family
actually proposed marriage to a married woman? Were they crazy?
The old lady became serious instead of smiling, "Of course I know. Three
years ago, the old man was confused as to insist on marrying you to a
13
fool regardless of my persuasion. You know that since you married him,
how many ridicules and criticism have Xia family suffered from? What's
worse, our family business has been badly damaged for this. Clearly
Andy Wu is the bane of our Xia family. Today, I solemnly announce that
your marriage contract is invalid. Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce
tomorrow. "
Divorce?
She felt overwhelmed. In the three years, she had suffered too much and
thought of divorcing for many times to get rid of Andy and start a
normal life. However, she always kept her Grandpa's last words in mind.
The old lady knew Jenny would say so and she explained patiently, "It
matters what the future of the Xia family will be like. The old man would
understand it if he knew that. Go and get a divorce. Don't worry. I will
explain to your Grandpa when I'm dead! "
The old lady's words were so resolute that Jenny's heart seemed to be
smashed. Jenny should assent to it as the old lady had promised to such
an extent, which was an opportunity to get rid of Andy. However, when it
was time to divorce, Jenny was reluctant to do it.
Jenny looked at him eating alone and sighed deeply, saying, "I don't
want to divorce."
Hearing her answer, all the people present were shocked. There was a
clearly vast difference between Shihao, the young heir to rich Wang
14
family, and a fool Andy Wu. Jenny could have gone directly to heaven
from the hell. She should give up such a golden opportunity!
Guilan couldn't stand it anymore. She shouted at Jenny, "Jenny, are you
crazy?"
Jenny answered, "I am not crazy. I do not want to divorce nor marry
Shihao Wang!"
Shihao was not a stranger to Jenny. He was an idle playboy who had a
crush on her when she was single, at which time, she had refused him.
Now she would also not marry a man she didn't like.
Jenny's response was really queer that everyone was shocked that this.
Boom!
The old lady pounded the table angrily and said, "Jenny, are you going
against me? Do you think you have grown up that you can do anything
you want? No way!" The old lady was usually dignified but rarely flared
up except this time.
As soon as she got angry, the atmosphere of the villa became depressing
and everyone kept silent.
Being shouted by the old lady, Jenny was trembling, feeling very
wronged and upset.
Three years ago, she was forced to marry a fool by her Grandfather. Now,
her grandmother made her divorce to marry a playboy. She felt like a
chess piece at the mercy of Xia family, without any freedom and rights.
15
Jenny was completely desperate, with her eyes filled with tears. Her
hopeless tears slipped quietly into Andy's heart.
Andy was still eating, who seemed to be indifferent at the situation. But
in fact, he had heard everything carefully. If Jenny agreed to divorce him,
he would not refuse since he had already held her back for three years.
Jenny is qualified to find her own happiness. However, Jenny refused to
divorce. Andy understood that Jenny was not cruel but protected him
from being bullied. Jenny was the only one who regarded him as a man.
As anyone was silent, Andy put down his chopsticks and stood up, facing
all of them, "No one has the right to force her to get a divorce!"
“What’s wrong with this stupid man today? It seems his sickness has
become more serious.”
16
“Is it because of his damaged brain that he’s behaving so rudely and
fearlessly?”
“Yea, grandma is so furious right now, how dare this fool disrespect her?
What a fool!”
“He became ill again as soon he got released from the asylum! Should
have kept him there all his life!”
Jenny noticed it too, that Andy had been behaving strangely today.
Though he would do lots of silly things every time when he had a sudden
onset, this time was way too much, as the way he was talking was
disrespectful and unexpected. She couldn’t let him be silly just like this,
so she patted Andy on the shoulder and said seriously, “ Didn’t I tell you
to remain silent? Sit down now!”
In Andy’s eyes and heart, there was no one else, Jenny was everywhere.
He didn’t want to go against her, so he just sat there quietly since Jenny
didn’t want him to get involved.
The look on The Old Lady's face was cold as ice already. Pointing at
Andy, she said in a low voice with some seriousness in it, “ Jenny, take a
look at this disgraceful fool! What’s the point of keeping him instead of
divorcing him?”
Jenny knew it too, that Andy’s condition was getting more and more
unstable. God knew what kind of trouble he might cause. Keeping him
by her side indeed was a bomb that might explode anytime.
17
However, it was still a tough decision for her to make at the moment,
after all, she thought it too cruel, not to mention the fact that she didn’t
want to marry Shihao Wang.
It took a while before Jenny replied with great pains in her heart, “
Please, just give me more time to consider about it.”
Seeing Jenny agreed to compromise, The Old Lady finally relieved. She’s
aware of the fact too that Jenny shouldn’t be pushed too hard, after all,
the marriage with the Wang family was of great significance and she
couldn’t afford to lose it. So The Old Lady compromised too, “Fine, I’ll
give you three days to consider about it.”
Then immediately she changed her tone which was sharp and mean, “
You must divorce Andy and agree on the marriage with the Wang Family
in three days’ time, or there would be no more place for you in the Xia
Family!”
The Old Lady turned around and went into her room.
“What’s wrong with this Jenny Xia? What’s on her mind? Does she even
need to consider about it? Since it’s such a good marriage.”
“Yea, between a fool and a rich young man, why is she hesitating?”
“She’s pretending to be loyal. You see, she will divorce at last. She is only
trying to show us how committed she is.”
Jenny was driving Andy and Guilan Huang to her own home.
18
Guilan, on the passenger seat, was angry to death. She stared at Jenny
and shouted, “ Jenny, are you out of your mind? Why is it that you don’t
want to divorce? What else can this fool do except causing trouble?”
Jenny was extremely annoyed and upset and she didn’t want to give any
explanation, she said instead, “Mom I am driving, will you leave me
alone, please?”
Guilan couldn’t help talking again as soon as they got home, “Jenny,
don’t be silly, you have to listen to The Old Lady. You should be aware
that our life has been so hard since Andy came to our family, how could
we survive if we were kicked out of the Xia Family?”
Seeing her daughter being quiet, Guilan continued, “You should know
how important it is to have a good husband. Jane married a good
husband and thus she got better treatment in the Xia Family. Now her
parents have moved into a big villa. Look at us now, what a shabby
house we’re in, besides, I have to help take care of a stupid man. Now I
am more miserable than a nanny! Your father died too early, I can only
count on you now, can you at least consider my feelings?”
Guilan really felt sorry for herself. She could still remember when The Old
Man was still alive, when her life was comfortable and abundant and
Jenny was loved and protected by her grandfather. The place they lived
were the big Xia villa. But who could expect that The Old Man asked
19
Jenny to marry a man who was mentally ill and then passed away not
long after the marriage? Ever since then, Jenny had been rejected by the
Xia Family and they were forced to move into this small apartment.
Guilan’s life dropped from heaven to earth.
It had been three years before Guilan finally got this chance to change
her situation. Three years she had been struggling and suffering, now
that her daughter could dump Andy and marry Shihao Wang, how could
she let this chance pass away easily?
On hearing her mother’s words, Jenny felt even worse. She said, “ I will
think it over.” Then she went to her room and shut the door.
What Andy said on the family feast really pissed her off.
Andy didn’t seem to care about her at first, but Guilan was talking so fast
as a machine gun and kept scolding Andy for more than half an hour
without resting!
He couldn’t take it anymore and left the living room and went back to
the bedroom.
Jenny was already on the bed when he came in. She said to him, “ You
have just come back from the hospital. Go take a shower and get
changed. I’ve put your pajamas in the bathroom already.”
Jenny was kind of a neat freak so she had been asking Andy to keep at
least tidy.
20
Andy replied with a light “yes” and went into the small bathroom.
When he came out, he came to the bedside and started to fall asleep,
naturally.
They were actually the so called couple, which meant they had been
sleeping separately for the past three years, with Jenny on the bed and
Andy on the floor.
Jenny was indeed very picky about Andy, since every time he had a
sudden onset, he would do something unexpected. Not only did she
need to clean up the mess, but also she became a laughing stock
because of him. This kind of life was really hard to stand.
At first, Jenny had some expectations and illusions about Andy, after all
he was chosen by grandfather, hoping to find some special qualities in
him, but it turned out that this man was a useless fool who could do
nothing right but cause embarrassments.
Jenny almost broke down because of him. Now that she could divorce, a
sense of pity grew in her soft heart. She didn’t get it--Why was it so hard
to dump this useless fool?
Failing to control her feelings, Jenny said softly, “ Andy, would you
survive if I left you?”
She looked down the floor and found Andy already deeply asleep.
21
Three years they had been married, Jenny barely looked at Andy face to
face. Now she was right beside him and she took a few glances at him
and found that this fool actually looked handsome.
“Oh, If only you were not a fool!” She sighed, failing to control her
feelings again.
If Andy had been a normal guy, Jenny would have accepted him a lot
more easily. Compared with a rich playboy like Shihao Wang, Andy
would be the preference for Jenny, after all, Andy had never been rude to
her and he had been obeying her orders. It’s such a pity that Andy had
this sudden onset every now and then and it really drove her crazy.
Not only Jenny, but also the whole Xia Family was ashamed of Andy.
That’s why the Xia Family were trying to force her to divorce. Jenny
understood it all, but she just couldn’t imagine herself being married to
Shihao Wang.
So struggled in her mind that she kept turning her body and it was not
until midnight did she gradually fall asleep.
It was half past three in the morning. After making sure that Jenny was
deep asleep, Andy got up.
He tucked her in first and then sneaked out of the bedroom and came to
the study.
On the table of the study was a computer, the one that Jenny used when
she worked at home.
22
Andy seated himself and turned the computer on.
There was a log in code but it was a piece of cake for Andy, as he was a
genius in every respect including computer science. He quickly unlocked
the computer and clicked the search engine-Baidu.
Since almost every major member of its relations is extremely rich and
news about the Wu Family is always on the headlines of the media.
However, all the news on the internet or other media are positive ones
which are used to serve the interests of the Wu Family.
Andy Wu had taken a long time searching related web pages about the
Wu family, finally he found a report posted three years ago:
The most low-keyed and mysterious heir to the Wu Family died all of a
sudden. Qingcheng Liu, his mother, could not bear the pain of losing the
son also died shortly in grief!
23
Qingdi Wu, Andy’s father, the master of the Wu Family, announced that
he would relinquish the position as the head of the family and go
guarding at the tomb for his beloved wife and son!
Tian Wu, an illegitimate son of Qingdi Wu, succeeded his father as the
youngest steersman in the history of the Wu Family.
This news with only a few words cost Andy Wu half an hour to finish the
reading, which made his eyes scarlet with tears shimmering.
After a long time, he started to speak in a rather deep voice, “Tian Wu, it
was you!” said Andy.
An hour later, after turning off the computer, Andy left the study and
went back to his bedroom to sleep.
At twelve at noon, Andy woke up with his bloodshot eyes from a bad
sleep last night. Having dressed himself well, he went to the bathroom
for washing and then he left the bedroom.
immediately he got out of his bedroom, he saw the table was filled with
tasty dishes, without any hesitation, he went directly to the table and sat
down and picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
As soon as he began to eat, Guilan Huang ran out of the kitchen and
slapped the chopsticks out of his hand, yelling at him: "Who told you to
eat? Get out of here!”
Toward the living room, a young guy was seated in the couch, she
immediately shifted into another tone and said with enthusiasm: “Shihao,
come over here. The meal is ready.”
24
Then, a man wearing an expensive suit stood up and moved toward the
table.
The man is the eldest son of he Family of Wang, his name is Shihao
Wang.
Hearing this, Guilan was extremely flattered, “We are family. Don’t call
me aunt. Call me mom.” said she, joyfully.
“Sooner or later, you will marry Jenny; I will only take you as my son-in-
law. Once Jenny divorces from that idiot, you two are to get married.”
Guilan said, with a glance on Andy.
She was so angry to see how foolish Andy was, so she padded him on
the shoulder and cursed loudly. “What are you doing here? Out of my
sight, now!” yelled Guilan.
Casting a glance at Shihao, Andy silently moved toward the sofa and sat
down there.
It was not long before Jenny went back home from work, and when she
saw Shihao, her brows knitted in displeasure. “What are you coming for?”
grumbled Jenny, frowning.
25
Guilan rushed to speak before Shihao, “I’ve asked him to come here”,
explained she. The fact was that Guilan was defending him even though
he came on his own.
Hearing what Guilan said, Jenny frowned even more tight. A fool as he is,
he is still her husband after all. It was her her mother’s fault to have
invited Shihao over for dinner at home.
Jenny reproached Guilan and yelled angrily: “Mom, what are you
DOING?”
“Ok, let’s stop talking about this.” said Guilan, trying to change the topic,
“Come over for dinner” she pulled Jenny to sit beside Shihao as she
yelled loudly; the only thing she hoped for was to make them a couple.
Jenny looked at Andy embarrassedly and said: “Andy, come and eat
together”
“He has already had meal; leave him alone!” said Guilan, lying.
After Jenny sitting down beside the table, Shihao immediately took out a
gift box, opened it and handed the gift to her, "Jenny, this is for you.”
said Shihao, generously.
Lying in the present box was a precious watch, with the value of 200,000
dollars.
Although she couldn’t afford to buy it, she was still able to identify its
value. She didn't hesitate to refuse and said: "I can't accept such a
valuable item!" As a woman, she’s also attached to such kind of valualbe
items, but because it was from Shihao, she would still like to decline the
offer.
26
On hearing this, Guilan was unpleasant. She accepted the watch on
behalf of Jenny, and said excitedly to her: “It’s a present given by Shihao.
I’ll take it for you.”
“Why can’t I take the gift from my future son-in-law?” rebuked Guilan.
She has been always greedy for money; but no one dares to take a
penny from her!
Jenny was disrupted by Shihao while she was trying to say something.
“No big deal, just show a little kindness”
“It’s not too much money for you, but for me, it’s not!” said Jenny,
seriously.
Feeling that Jenny was still declining him, he hurried to explain: “Jenny, I
know, you dislike it when I goof around with less attention on business,
and idle away in pampering and flirting.”
“But Shihao is now being excellent and promising, much better than that
idiot!” said Guilan.
There is no denying that Shihao does have changed a lot. Jenny could
also feel his changes. He used to be a man of cynicism, arrogance and
fickle-mindedness who spent time idling and flirting around all day long;
and for him, women were playthings. But now, he turned more modest
and behaved more politely and gently.
Gradually, Jenny became less cold to him and began to speak to him at
the table.
27
Seated on the chair, Andy was totally isolated and those three persons
looked like a family.
Andy had thought yesterday that he could accept it, even though Jenny
decided to get divorced from him, because they were merely nominal
couple, as he married Jenny when he had lost his memory. But now, a
sense of jealousy and anger overcame him when he saw Jenny talking
pleasantly with Shihao.
Hearing the voice of Shihao, Guilan, who was at the table now, hurried to
see what it was.
Her eyes began to glisten when seeing Shihao on TV and yelled with
excitement: “Shihao, it’s you on TV, right?”
In fact, all this had been planed before he came today. He deliberately
came to this house and turned on the TV, which was all for this very
moment.
Changsheng Group?
28
Guilan stared at Shihao with her eyes opened as big as a bull's, and
asked surprisingly, "So your company has business with Changsheng
Group?
Guilan was staring at the TV with eyes fixed on it, even Jenny was walking
near to watch TV, while Shihao was telling Changsheng Li’s great deeds,
cause’ he intended to show his ability by talking about Changsheng Li.
While Shihao was bragging, all of a sudden, Andy stood up and walked
silently toward the door.
29
When he opened the door and walked outside, Guilan shouted at him:
"Don't bring me any more junk back!"
Shihao got out of the car when it stopped then he stood in front of Andy
and said arrogantly: “Do you understand human language? Let me tell
you today, that Jenny is mine; you get away from her and get divorced
from her as soon as possible. You understand?”
His tone was extremely arrogant, as if he were the God; it is possible for
him to get whoever he wants. But Jenny is the only one that he ca not
get. The less likely he could get her, the more inclined would he be to
occupy her.
30
Bang!
With only one hard kick, Shihao, the arrogant man, was then kicked away
onto the engine hood of his Cayenne.
At the same time, he kept thinking that the fact that he, Shihao Wang, a
rich man in the Westplain City, had been beaten by a fool, which made
him unable to accept it.
He waited for a moment before sitting up, and then shouted angrily,
"You dare kick me, I'll kill you!"
However, when he stood up, he realized that Andy Wu had run away.
Coming to the villa yard, Changsheng Li said a few words to the driver,
"I'll get some sleep first, there's a meeting at night, you wake me up at
five.”
31
After saying that, Changsheng Li opened the door and walked inside.
The man on the couch, slowly getting up, looked coldly at Changsheng Li
.
Changsheng Li rubbed his eyes in disbelief and said, "Are you the Third
Master?"
He tensed his nerves and trembled, ''Third Master, I always thought you
were dead. I don't come to the Westernplain very often, I really didn't
know you were here!"
The richest man, a legend, in the Jiangdong province, who knelt down to
Andy Wu. If this scene was seen by others, many people would be
stunned.
32
you understand that I can help you become the richest man, and I can
also destroy everything you have."
The reason why the Changsheng Group was able to grow rapidly and
become a nationally renowned real estate group in a short period of
time was that Andy Wu secretly assisted Changsheng Li.
Andy Wu, the third master of the Wu family, who was the best in
business and no one could match him, was a genius.
Only, he was poisoned in the Wu family three years ago. Andy Wu didn't
know who poisoned him, so he had to become more cautious, and even
his most trusted men, he kept testing them.
Through Changsheng Li's words and deeds, Wu was basically certain that
he was still trustworthy. So, he said, "Get up!"
33
Master, three years ago, I heard that you suddenly died. What the hell is
going on here?"
Changsheng Li knew that he was the secret weapon that Andy Wu had
cultivated outside. If Andy Wu wanted to use him, he would try his best
to help him.
As soon as he entered the door, Guilan Huang rushed towards Andy with
a hanger and kept beating him, cursing: "Why are you beating people,
why?”
34
Guilan Huang hit him with a hanger very hard. But it was like scratching
an itch for Andy, who didn't care about the pain.
Guilan Huang said defiantly, "Don't stop me, I have to kill this fool
today."
"You also said that he was a fool, is there any point in hitting him? Stop
beating him, I'll ask him why."Jenny Xia said.
Guilan Huang said coldly, "You must divorce him!" Then she turned to
the kitchen.
Jenny looked at Andy Wu and said in disappointment, "Why did you hit
Shihao Wang ?"
Jenny smiled wryly and asked rhetorically, "Just because he's in your way,
you hit him?"
"I didn't use all my strength." said Andy frankly. He simply disliked
Shihao Wang, so he wanted to kick his ass. Still, he hit him with a grain of
salt, otherwise Shihao Wang would have been died.
Jenny yelled angrily, "How do you prove that?" After saying this, Jenny
was still angry. She continued, "I am really too disappointed in you.
Though you are not smart, at least you would not harm anyone. But now
you hit someone for a stupid reason. You've got me scared now, and I'm
afraid you're going to hit me when you get mad."
35
Andy said, "I won't hit you, not for the rest of my life!" His words,
however, touched Jenny's heart.
Jenny had been so angry that she had even made up her mind secretly
to divorce Andy and get rid of this terrible fool once and for all.
But all of a sudden, Andy’s words made Jenny give up on divorcing him.
After a long time, Jenny said to Andy, "Don’t lie to me and don't cause
any trouble!" After said that ,she turned and went back to her bedroom.
At noon the next day, Guilan Huang made the meal, and Andy Wu came
out to eat lunch on time. Today's Guilan Huang was absent-minded, and
quite unusual.
A short while later, Jenny returned from the company. As soon as she
arrived home, she shouted angrily at Guilan Huang, "Mom, what have
you done? why did you mortgage our house to the casino?"
Guilan Huang sighed and said, "You know that I like to gamble." Guilan
Huang had been out of work since very early, and usually played cards to
kiss the time.
Jenny said, "You used to play poker and the stakes were not high. Why
did you lose the house this time?"
36
players thought I was rich and upped the ante. I didn't control myself
and just played with them. Then I lost too much money so I took out a
mortgage on the house. I thought I could win it all back, and who knew it
was all lost.” Guilan Huang explained with a guilty look on her face.
With a silly husband and such a mom, Jenny almost freaked out and was
about to cry. She rushed towards Guilan Huang and shouted angrily,
''Don't you know what's going on in our family? How could you do that?
The casino people said that if they can't get a million dollars to pay the
debt today, they are going to kick us out of our house. Do you want us
to sleep on the street?"
Guilan Huang acted she didn’t care and said, "All right, all right, now it’s
not the time to scold me. The most important thing now is to give the
money back to the casino. Look for Shihao, he's rich. The money is
nothing to him."
Jenny was really getting angry, she hissed back, ''What the hell were you
thinking? We are not friends, so how can I borrow so much money from
him?"
"Anyway, you and Shihao are going to get married sooner or later, so
this money can be used as the bride price." Guilan Huang said.
Before Jenny could say anything, suddenly, Andy stood up and said
seriously, "Don't look for him, I have money."
Jenny was furious with her mother. Jenny’s words at the moment, no
doubt added fuel to the fire. Jenny became even more angry as she
rushed at Andy, ''How come you have money? My mother owes a million
dollars, listen carefully, it's a million dollars, not a hundred dollars, can
you get it?"
37
"Yes!" When Andy finished his words, he turned around and left.
Andy Wu sitting still in the couch of the living room, with Changsheng Li
standing beside him respectfully.
“Tell me, what have you got there?” Andy asked Changsheng a short
moment later.
38
The Old Man had been in the army in Yanjing city?
Silent for a while, Andy said slowly, like telling a big secret, “If I am not
wrong, the one who saved me should be the person in the Wu Family.”
Andy rolled his eyes at him and said, “ It wouldn’t do you any good if you
knew too much.”
Tian Wu was crafty, and Andy already knew that. But he didn’t expect
him to have had such ability to change destiny.
Seeing Andy remaining silent, Changsheng couldn’t help asking, “Is there
anything else I need to look into, third young master?”
39
What was about to happen next would be all about the family matters
inside the Wu Family. Though Changsheng was the richest man in
Jiangdong province, he was still not powerful enough to get involved in
the Wu Family.
Changsheng nodded and took out a piece of black card from his pocket.
It was the Supreme black card of Jiangdong Bank and it’s the symbol of
nobility and ability. The amount of money in the card shouldn’t be less
than a hundred million.
Changsheng presented the blacked card to Andy with both hands and
said, “This is the card you asked me to process.”
Andy was born with everything, the least thing he needed was money
and he had never considered money a big deal and thought money was
just a series meaningless figures.
Until when he got back his three years’ memory in the Westplain city did
he realized there was indeed something that money can do, such as
changing a lot of things.
“This is the phone I have prepared for you with my number inside. Young
master, if you need me, contact me directly.” He gave him a cellphone
after giving the black card.
It was a limited edition which was used only by the nobles and was worth
a million, though it looked as simple and out of style as an old people’s
phone.
Taking over the phone, Andy read the time on it and suddenly got up
and said, “I’ve got to go.”
40
“Let me drive you.” Changsheng said.
Andy went directly to the Jiangdong Bank as soon as he left the villa.
He didn’t become one of them. Instead, he went directly into the VIP
room.
“Please wait in line in the lobby, only VIP clients are allowed in here.”
Qing Xie, VIP manager in the chair, glanced at Andy and said lightly.
Andy walked to the table, threw the card at the table and said coldly,
“Withdraw a million.”
41
She had seen numerous rich people, varieties of them, but someone who
had got such an appearance like Andy was so rare and she couldn’t
believe he had the supreme black card!
Qing was at shock for a few seconds before she put on her sophisticated
smile immediately, and said, “Sure, sir.”
Qing was swift and it didn’t took long before she got the money ready.
Then she said to Andy with a sorry face, “I am sorry sir, but we have run
out of the safe box and I have already sent for people to buy one, please
wait for a while,”
Not wanting to waste time, Andy said, “There’s no need for a safe box,
just give me a bag instead.”
Soon Qing took out a black plastic bag and one million cash was already
inside.
Qing saw him out respectfully and as soon as they reached the door,
Qing quickly gave her name card to Andy and said in a flirty voice, “Sir,
this is my name card. If you need anything just call me directly, I can
provide home service, too.”
Qing was quite good looking and attractive as a professional lady, but
Andy didn’t even look at her from the start till the end. As for her name
card, neither did he take it. He just went away directly.
Seeing his figure going away, Qing said, “Of low profiles and cool. I like
him!”
42
Andy took a cab and went back home.
He hurried home after he got out of the cab, holding the bag of cash.
“Isn’t this my stupid brother-in-law?” All of a suddenly, Julia Xia came out
of God knows where and stood in front of Andy.
Julia lived in the same residential area with Jenny, but Julia was only
living here for work convenience while her family still lived in the villa.
When it came to appearance and figure, Julia was always the top kind.
What’s more, Julia knew about art and had become a famous artist in
Westplain city.
As the third daughter of the Xia Family, Julia Xia had a good reputation
out there. However, anyone who knew Julia well would know that she
made friends for their money. In her eyes, poor people wouldn’t deserve
to be her friend. A useless fool like Andy was exactly the type she hated,
so every time she met him, she would humiliate him.
Andy didn’t even look at Julia. He just said calmly, “Please let me pass.”
Julia didn’t move. She took a glance at the black plastic bag and laughed
meanly, “You stupid man, you took a bag of trash home again. Aren’t
you afraid of being scolded?”
She took two sips of the milk tea in her hands and then pushed it to
Andy, “Here, take it, mercy from me, and you are welcome.”
43
Andy glanced at Julia but soon walked past her.
It was 5 P.M, as Andy was just arriving at the door, the door was
suddenly opened from inside. Standing there was Jenny.
Eyes red, Jenny looked at Andy and said in a sad voice, “Let’s get a
divorce!”
But at the moment, the sudden words from Jenny were like a head-on
blow, which stopped him right there, not able to move. His expressions
froze and his heart ached as if he had been stabbed through the heart.
He was heartbroken.
“Jenny, are you silly or not? Why bother say sorry to him? We don’t owe
him and we have perfectly fulfilled both love and duty as we have been
providing free accommodation and free food for three years.”
Guilan Huang approached Jenny slowly and continued, “Andy Wu, you
don’t get to blame Jenny. Think about it, which woman doesn’t want a
good man? Look at Shihao, who is such a promising and excellent young
44
man with tremendous amount of money and ability. As soon as I told
him about me owing one million debt, he immediately brought the
property certificate to me. This is the true man and only this kind of man
can give Jenny happiness. Now look at you! You are such a useless man
who would do nothing but cause trouble. How many times have I told
you not to bring trash home, here you are again with the trash in your
hand. People never change what they are!”
Jenny used to defend Andy against Guilan when she was giving him a
hard time, but now she couldn’t say a word as if there had been
something stuck in her throat. She had compromised to the reality, after
all.
All this time, Jenny thought she was strong enough to endure the
hardships in life and live happily.
However, what had happened in the past a few days had took all her
hopes and patience away and she couldn’t see a way out. If she didn’t
get a divorce, she would be kicked out of the Xia Family! If she didn’t get
a divorce, even this little apartment would be taken away by the people
from the casino. If she didn’t get a divorce, her mom would never stop
bothering and haunting her. If she didn’t get a divorce, how could she
survive with this inconsiderate mother and this trouble making husband?
Reality is like a big mountain, and she could barely breathe under it.
Besides she’s not an iron woman, and this weight was too heavy for her
to burden. She needed someone who she could lean on.
Seeing that Andy wasn’t responding, Guilan said to Jenny at once, “Hurry
up and take this fool to process the divorce. This man gives me big
headache.”
45
Eyes red, Jenny yelled at her mom, “Why the hurry! The Bureau of Civil
affairs is off duty now. We shall see tomorrow.”
Andy remained silent the whole time. Behind Jenny and Guilan, he could
see Shihao Wang sitting on the sofa. He turned around and left, without
a word.
“Where are you going?” Jenny asked with deep concern, and watched his
figure going away.
Andy replied with a low voice, “I’ll come tomorrow and process the
divorce.” He paced up and left.
Nobody could see his awkwardness. Only he knew what kind of torment
he was suffering. It was not until now did he realize how much he cared
about Jenny. He had believed that Jenny would never agree on the
divorce, and that he would never leave her either.
But in the end, she had chosen Shihao over him. She abandoned him
after all.
He walked faster and faster, looking a lot like a soldier who had been
defeated in the war, frustrated.
Not until he went out of the gate did Andy slow down his pace. His legs
were so stiff like filling lead, and his brain was about to explode as if it
had been filled with gun powder.
The Wu Family which he had grown up in, fell into pieces overnight.
46
The small family which he had been living in for three years, broke apart
again.
Strong as he was, he couldn’t bear the shock like this again and again.
Blood burning through his veins, emotion rolling over his chest, a stream
of breath was about to erupt out of his body.
“Ah!!!”
He finally acted it out, shouting aloud when he went on a small and quiet
road.
At 9:30 P.M, when Changsheng finished his work and went back to his
own villa, he found Andy lying on the sofa, not moving.
Changsheng felt relived and asked, “Is there anything I can do for you,
young sir?” Though Changsheng himself was a genius in business, he still
felt great pressure in front of Andy.
Andy just said, “Nothing, I’ve just come to spend the night here.”
When Andy left the night before, Changsheng had invited him to stay
but got refused as andy was hurrying home. Changsheng could see Andy
cared about Jenny. But at the moment he suddenly showed up and
decided to sleep here without being invited. Changsheng couldn’t help
himself but asked, “Is there a problem between you and Miss Jenny?”
47
“We are getting a divorce tomorrow.” Answered Andy, simply.
In Yanjing city, a big shot like Andy Wu, should be matched with a
marvelous woman. Those tacky and silly women couldn’t deserve him at
all. But in Changsheng’s eyes, Jenny Xia was quite special since she was
not only beautiful in her appearance, but also talented and capable, most
of all, she was so easy-going and tolerant that she could bear to live with
a fool for three years, which made Changsheng admire her even more.
Speaking of Jenny, there’s only one thing imperfect about her and it was
her family. But someone like Andy who had both money and power
wouldn’t need her to match him financially.
It surely shocked him when Andy said they would get a divorce. He
considered it both unexpected and pitiful. So he asked, “Why?”
Andy apparently didn’t want to talk more about it, so he just closed his
eyes calmly and said, “I want to be alone for a while. You can attend your
own business.”
Though Andy didn’t show any emotion on his face, Changsheng could
still feel that Andy was upset. So he just walked away respectfully without
bringing him more disturbance.
6 A.M sharp, Andy was already standing outside of Jenny’s door. Instead
of going in, he jut stood there, neither talking nor moving.
48
He had been standing for two hours.
At 8 A.M, Jenny opened the door and was about to come out when she
saw Andy standing quietly there. Her eyes immediately got red and wet,
rushing out while throwing her fists upon his chest, she cried, “Where did
you go last night! Do you know that I have been looking for you for the
whole night?”
She showed it all to him, all her concerns, without leaving anything
behind.
The three words froze Jenny right there where she was. She gawked at
Andy, feeling so unbelievable.
So many things had been done in the past three years and they had
brought great trouble to him, too, but not even once did Andy apologize
to anyone. It was the first time that Andy had apologized. She was
deeply touched on hearing this.
She wrapped her arms around Andy, choking, and she said, “I won’t
divorce you any more. Let’s not divorce, and you are not allowed to
wander around any more!”
49
Jenny regretted. She had been regretful since the night before.
For three years, Any had been by her side, even if he was admitted to the
asylum by Guilan many times, Jenny could always bring him back home.
But last night Jenny couldn’t find him anywhere, she was worried, sacred
and afraid that something bad might happen to him.
Now Andy suddenly showed up in front of the door, she felt like
something that had been long lost finally came back to her, like a
missing child finally got home. Especially when she heard this silly boy
apologize to her, she finally tore down her fence and decided not to
divorce any more. Never would she give up on this silly husband any
more!
Andy was a true noble man, and he had never got intimate with any
other girl before. But at this moment, with Jenny holding him tight, his
body suddenly got stiff.
Especially when the words that they would never get a divorce came out
of Jenny’s mouth, he felt even more emotional.
After hugging him for a while, Jenny finally put down her arms and said
very seriously, “Andy Wu, please promise me that you won’t wander
around any more and stay in my sight, please?”
50
After adjusting her mood and emotion, she took Andy inside.
Guilan had just got up and came out of her bedroom. When she saw
Andy, she said immediately, “You stupid thing finally found your way
home! I thought you escaped! Hurry and go process the divorce!”
Looking at Guilan, Jenny said firmly and formally, “Mom, I have decided
not to divorce Andy any more.”
Guilan almost exploded when she heard this. She came over angrily and
yelled at Jenny, “What nonsense were you talking about in the early
morning? It was Shihao who helped me pay back the one million debt.
How do you pay him back if you don’t divorce? Besides, today is the
deadline! Do you want to get kicked out by The Old Lady?”
The decision made by Jenny earlier was because of her deep affection for
Andy so she just couldn’t let him go, but she completely forgot to take
into consideration what would come next. Now hearing Guilan’s words,
her heart sank again.
Just at that moment, Andy started to talk again, firmly and calmly, “Let
me deal with the money.”
“You are still talking nonsense! Yesterday you told me you could bring
back a million dollars, instead you took back a bag of garbage. You
51
cannot handle anything, you idiot!” Guilan Huang was so angry and
punched hard on Andy Wu.
Jenny Xia pulled Andy Wu away and said to Guilan Huang seriously, “I
will figure out a way to return the one million to Shihao Wang, I can sell
my house if I have to. As for grandma, if she really has to kick me out of
the family, I have to bow to the harsh fact.” Now that she had decided
not to divorce, then no matter how difficult her life would be, she would
live through it.
Guilan was driven mad, she asked anxiously, “You are really confused and
stupid, what the hell are you thinking? Why all of a sudden you decided
not to divorce? Tell me now!”
Jenny Xia looked at Andy Wu and said seriously, “I cannot abandon him.”
On hearing this, Guilan Huang was even more irritated, she screamed
violently, “Are you out of you mind? You are really freaking me out!”
Jenny Xia didn’t want to argue with Guilan Huang, she exhorted Andy
Wu, “Stay at home safely, I need to leave and figure something out.”
“Where are you going? Wait for me!”, Guilan asked and followed her out.
Andy Wu waited till Jenny Xia and Guilan Huang left, took his phone out
immediately, dialed Changsheng Li’s number.
Half an hour later, Jenny Xia and Guilan Huang came back.
52
Jenny Xia sat on the couch in silence as soon as she came home.
Guilan Huang sat beside Jenny Xia and asked with dysphoria, “Jenny,
what did the Grandma said?”
Jenny Xia did not respond for a long time, and then she talked slowly,
“The Chairman of Wang Group called grandma himself and told her, they
had never proposed marriage to me. It’s all Shihao Wang’s idea and
personal decision. All this is a misunderstanding, and Wang family would
never agree to a marriage like this.” Jenny Xia went out before just to
find grandma and let her know that she had decided not to divorce. But
on the halfway, grandma called her and told her that Wang family
cancelled the proposal.
On hearing this, Jenny was indeed pleased at first, but when she actually
thought it through, she couldn't help but getting angry. This Shihao
Wang fooled her whole family and made all the troubles had gone too
far! The more she thought, the angrier she got. And it made her really
sick that she thought Shihao Wang had changed himself.
Thank God she didn’t get a divorce from Andy, or it would be too late to
regret.
Guilan Wu asked her incredulously, “Is it even possible? Can things like
marriage proposal even be wrong?”
Jenny said indignantly, “Why can’t this be impossible? Their family are
not stupid, how could them let Shihao Wang marry a woman like me,
who’s already been married by someone else? We were all deceived by
him!”
53
On hearing what Jenny said, Guilan Huang thought of what Shihao Wang
did, and also couldn’t help herself complaining, “This man, Shihao Wang,
is really a bad dog!”
Jenny frowned and said anxiously: "Now the priority is to return his one
million dollars, I don't want to be involved with this kind of person
anymore."
On hearing this, Guilan Huang changed her expression slightly and said
with guilt, “Jenny, I am going to tell you the truth, but you need to
promise me that you will not be angry with me.”
Jenny then realized something was wrong and asked her immediately,
“What do you want to tell me? What did you do?”
Guilan Huang replied weakly, “Actually, I didn’t lose that much money,
last time I gambled with them, I said it was one million, it was a lie. All of
this is a trap Shihao Wang designed. Those bad people in the casino, was
also his men.”
Jenny suddenly stood up and asked in shock, “What are you talking
about?”
Guilan Huang felt guilty and replied quickly, “It was all Shihao Wang’s
fault, it has nothing to do with me! I thought his love for you was real,
who knows he is such a bad person!”
Jenny scolded at her angrily, “That’s not an excuse for you to deceive me
like this!”
Jenny was so angry that she almost fainted. Her own mother, colluded
with others,which nearly led her into a hoax! If it weren’t for Andy’s ran
54
away, made her realized all of these in time, she was actually decided to
divorce Andy. How could Guilan Huang be a mother like this!
As Jenny was so furious, her phone rang. She took a glance at the
number, then she picked up the phone and immediately shouted, “Please
don’t pester me ever again!” After that, she remove his number in the
blacklist with no hesitation.
Andy, who listened all of this, did nothing but sat beside them silently.
After Jenny lied on bed and Andy just lied on floor for rest. And at this
moment, Jenny Xia couldn’t help herself asking, “Andy, where did you go
last night?”
As soon as Jenny heard this, she knew that his illness was still unstable, it
would relapse from time to time.
Jenny Xia sighed, turned off the light and fell into sleep.
At noon of the next day, Jenny was doing over time at her office. There
were only Andy and Guilan Huang left at home.
Guilan Huang was in a bad mood, with her illusions broken, Guilan felt a
huge strike.
55
This frustration and irritability grew intenser when she saw this idiot,
Andy. Although Shihao Wang’s character was bad, at least he’s really
rich. And this Andy was not able to do anything, he was purely a burden.
Guilan Huang could not help herself complaining while having lunch,
“You are such an idiot, as long as you are of a little bit use, Jenny does
not need to work that hard.”
Seeing Guilan Huang was getting angry again, Andy stopping talking.
Jenny was out all day long, and hadn’t returned home till 8 o’clock.
Guilan kept calling her and she didn’t answer. She called her company
and been told that Jenny was transferred to the front office all of a
sudden, and asked Jenny to complete orders of two billion dollars within
this month. Otherwise she would be fired.
Because of this, Jenny, who had never been in front office, was now
looking for orders and begging people for help.
On hearing this, Guilan threw the phone on the sofa and ground her
teeth in anger, “Today is 29th, to get a 2-million-order within two days,
it’s an impossible mission!”
56
Xia’s family was operating a decoration company called Anjule
Decoration Co., Ltd. It was a medium-sized company, which was good
and famous in Westplain City. But in recent years, with family’s bad
reputation, the business was getting worse. With this situation, it was
formidable for orders worth 2 million dollars in a whole month. And now
the company only gave Jenny 2 days, and she was totally new to this
business. This was an impossible task to achieve.
Guilan Huang was both angry and worried. It was clear that the old lady
thought Jenny brought shame to this family again, and deliberately
making her job difficult. It was too mean to persecute Jenny in this way.
Business world was always like this. It is inevitable for women to drink for
business cooperation negotiation. Guilan Huang was really worried that
her inexperience might cause a big loss.
Andy was worried about Jenny Xia, and did not waste time with Guilan
Huang. He escaped from Guilan and got out of the door.
“Don’t you dare to run from me! You get back here!” Guilan Huang
screamed with anger.
57
Andy Wu got in a cab.
Andy Wu did not bother look at the driver and gave him 200 dollars, and
said, “I will tell you the location later.” His eyes were burning as if there’s
torches in them but his tone was very cold.
Only Changsheng Li knew this number, and it was obvious that he got
news on Jenny.
Andy took out his phone and was just about to connect. Suddenly,
several cars stopped around him and a dozen men with sticks
surrounded him.
After all that, Shihao Wang lit up a cigarette and walked coldly toward
Andy…
58
At this point, Shihao had already walked up to Andy. He puffed out a
smoke ring at Andy and teased, "You fool still know how to make a
phone call. Can you still find people help you? I'll give you time to find
them."
Shihao didn't care about Andy at all, after all, he had brought more than
a dozen bodyguards here today.
Andy hated Shihao . Especially after learning that he had deceived Jenny,
Andy had to teach him a lesson. But right now, Andy was in a hurry to
find Jenny, and he didn't want to waste his time with Shihao. So he said
coldly, "Get out of the way, I don't have time to play with you!"
Shihao was furious when he heard this.He threw his cigarette to the
ground and said fiercely: "Fuck you, don’t pretend you know nothing. I
told you, if you don't get a divorce, I'll break your legs, and today……"
Bang!
Shihao hadn't even finished his sentence when Andy suddenly kicked
him out.
Shihao, who had fallen to the ground, became more angry as ever. He
had sense of superiority, and there was no one in the Westplain City who
wasn't afraid of him. He was always the only one who bullied others, no
one dared to bully him. But the fool, Andy Wu, even hit him twice.
The last time he was beaten, Shihao had already remembered Andy's
grudge. However, he did not immediately take revenge on Andy, but
instead complained to his wife first. To him, having Jenny was more
important than anything.
59
But his plan ended up getting screwed by his own family. He didn't want
to put up with Andy any longer, so he went to Andy to fight him in the
first place.
But Shihao didn't expect that Andy would also dare to hit him even if he
brought so many people with him to threaten Andy, which made him
crazy. He held back the sharp pain in his chest and roared madly, "Kill
him right now!"
Upon hearing these words, those men holding iron bars attacked Andy.
In less than half a minute, more than a dozen his men were knocked to
the ground.
Shihao, who was lying on the ground, forgot about the anger and the
pain He was stunned completely. He witnessed Andy kill a dozen people
at once, and this scene was too horrible. Shihao who had also seen the
world, had also seen quite a few fights. But he encountered someone as
powerful as Andy Wu was for the first time. How could he be an idiot
when he was so good at fighting?
Andy was still the same as before, without any superfluous expression on
his face. However, on him, there was an additional mysterious and
powerful aura that felt like a demon. Seeing him approach, the
domineering Shihao was terrified. He tried to run away, but he turned to
jelly and couldn't move his legs.
60
"Don't come to me." Shihao said.
Andy came to the side of Shihao and looked down on him like a
monarch, sternly saying, "Don't bother my wife in the future."
Afterwards, Andy got into a taxi and said to the stunned cab driver, "Go
to the Yuting Hotel."
In the dining room on the fourth floor, six people sit around a large
dining table. The six men, who belonged to Anjule Decoration Company
and Green Park Real Estate Company, respectively.
Fortunately, Jenny’s efforts paid off. In the afternoon, Jenny found Dahai
Hu, the manager of Green Park Real Estate Company. He was willing to
meet with Jenny to talk about cooperation.
61
So, they two made an appointment to have dinner at the Yuting Hotel.
Dahai was able to become the manager of Green Park Real Estate, which
was also very capable. Having just turned 40 this year, he had become
the typical middle-aged uncle with a slick face and a big belly. He
revealed cunning in his eyes and kept trying to find a way to intoxicate
Jenny.
Jenny had seen through Dahai. She came to talk business with others
and purposely brought her own assistant with her.
Her assistant was named Xiaoli Zhang. Whatever it was white wine or
beer, she can drink it. However, even if she could drink more, she
couldn't not get drunk if the four men of the Green Park Real Estate took
turns to toast her.
By 8:30 p.m, they had basically closed the deal on the order. Only Jenny's
assistant, Xiaoli, was already drunk.
Jenny refused politely, "Manager Hu, I'm sorry. I really can't drink."
Dahai's face turned pale with discontent and said, "Miss Xia, our
company does need to get a batch of hardcover houses, but I have many
decoration companies to cooperate with. I chose to work with you
because I get over you, and you won't even give me that face?"
62
Dahai threatened in a deep voice, ''You said you wanted to cooperate
with our company, but you even refused to drink with me. It seems that
you didn't have Green Park Real Estate in mind, and since Miss Xia
doesn't really want to cooperate with us, then there's no need for us to
talk about this business!"
Jenny was shocked after hearing this. She really couldn't drink. But this
cooperation, again, was very important to her. If it failed, Jenny was really
going to lose her job. Besides, her family company was now in the
doldrums and needed a big order to survive. So her company's
cooperation with Dahai couldn’t fail.
Jenny hesitated for a while as she picked up the glass in front of her that
was filled with white wine and said to Dahai, "Thank you for trusting our
company."
After she drank the white wine, she felt like there was fire burning in her
stomach. Jenny obviously felt a little dizzy, and her face began to turn
red.
Dahai was a little enthralled by her beauty. Jenny was his type. Dahai Hu
was a jerk. Over the years, he had hurt many girls. The reason why he
promised Jenny to talk about business was completely because he liked
Jenny.
Jenny Xia, the third daughter of the Xia family, is well known in the
Westplain City. She has married to a fool, and people in the city all know
her story. Dahai especially lamented for Jenny, and at the same time he
also especially wanted to get her.
63
Originally, Dahai had thought that he might have to let Jenny drink a lot
of wine if he wanted to get her drunk, but saw that she was already
drunk after one drink. He was happy because it saved him a lot of time.
He directly touched Jenny's hand, said shamelessly, ''Miss Xia, your life
may definitely not be happy after marrying a fool. Especially at night, you
should be miserable without the company of a man. Women still need
normal men."
Before his hand touched Jenny's, she took back her hand and said
angrily, "Don’t touch me."
Dahai glared, "Miss Xia, the rule of business is to help each other. I'm
willing to give you a order of twenty million, and you should repay me!"
Soon, only Dahai and Jenny were left in the large private room. Dahai
finally revealed his dirty face. He said to Jenny coldly, ''I treat you gently,
but you don't accept it. Then don't blame me for being rude to you."
Jenny was scared when she heard his words and wanted to run away.
However, the drink she had just had was a glass of white wine with
strong alcohol. She was unable to stand up. She said weakly , "Don't do
anything bad to me.It's against the law if you do so."
64
Dahai directly ignored her words and said, "Even if this is known by
people, they will only think that you seduced me deliberately for
business."
Dahai is cunning like a fox, and Jenny can not fight against him.
Jenny was terrified. She was extremely anxious, but she couldn't escape
from there. She didn't know what to do and her body had no strength.
She was helpless and desperate.
At this critical point, the door was kicked open. Two of Dahai's
subordinates who were guarding the outside of the private room were
kicked inside.
Then a person came in. It was Andy. He walked in with long strides.
Dahai was shocked. he didn't know Andy. But he could see that this man
had kung fu. Dahai was also a society man who had gone through ups
and downs, and coupled with his position in society, he wasn't afraid of
Andy.
Andy walked to Dahai quickly. Before Dahai could know what had
happened, Andy grabbed Dahai by the hair as soon as he could.
Andy grabbed Dahai's head and slammed it heavily on the dining table.
Then he said to Jenny, who was standing beside, "Honey, are you
alright?"
65
My husband: A Legendary Man - Chapter 10
Amazing the whole audience
The fear in the heart of Jenny Xia was replaced by excitement, for a man
like the greatest hero in the world appeared suddenly to save her.
But, the thing was quite odd that how could this man be Andy Wu?
Jenny could not hold the cup, and she was drunk so badly that she even
saw some phantom floating in her eyes, and the figure before her turned
out to be Andy, which surprised her deeply. She looked at him
absorbedly and answered "Yes" weakly.
With head being pulled aside and bumped by Andy, Dahai Hu was
seriously injured. The wine bottle fell down to the ground and he was
overcame by a severe headache then, in addition he was stunned that
Andy was so strong a man. He could only make the final threat, “Release
me, or I’ll kill you!”
Andy was furious that he saw Dahai untying the belt as he entered the
room and then found Jenny was drunk. What Dahai wanted to do was
easy to guess that he wanted to rape her, which irritated Andy
immediately.
Bang! Bang!
Andy pulled Dahai’s head and bumped it on the table twice again.
Dahai’s head was hit so hard that blood came oozing out at once, then
he fainted away.
66
After letting go of Dahai, Andy was worried about Jenny, “Let’s go
home!”
With that, he held the groggy girl in arms and left quickly.
However, as he just got out of the private room, Andy found more than
twenty strong security guards with uniforms blocking the corridor.
The leader, who seemed over 30 and wore a decent suit, was Qilong Sun,
the manager of Yuting Hotel! He looks like a gentleman but, actually, he
is a ruthless person.
“It’s not such easy to leave after hitting a person in my place, is it?”
Qilong said in a flat tone.
Andy looked down on Qilong and just said indifferently, ”Go away!”
Qilong’s complexion got bad and the expression in his eyes was cold
that meant he was furious, because the guests in Yuting Hotel all treated
him with respect, but Andy hit a person and was still such arrogant. Thus,
his tone changed into severeness, ”Guy, you can’t leave here easily after
hitting someone. You’d better come with me, or expect no mercy!”
Bang!!!
67
He was suddenly hit and flipped back, falling to the ground, even before
he came close to Andy.
The security guards in the corridor even didn’t see clearly how Andy
acted only to find that Qilong failed.
All the people was confused because Qilong was always good at
fighting. How could he become so fragile?
“Young man, you really have some capabilities!” Suddenly, the door of
the next private room opened. A man walked out wearing a tunic suit.
Tonight, Shengli was having dinner with several big shots of Westplain
City in a private room on the forth floor to discuss affairs.
68
As soon as he opened the door, he saw his trusted subordinate, Qilong,
lying on the ground. Then he knew that Andy was a capable person.
“Boss!”
“Boss!”
When Shengli came out, all the security guards bowed and greeted.
“Ha ha, Feng, you are not as famous as before. The person looked down
on you. It’s no wonder that he dared to make trouble in your hotel!”
Here came out four men nearly 50 and one woman over 40 from the
same room.
Hearing this, Shengli was ashamed, "You are right. After all, I haven’t
fight in years. I’m afraid that the youngsters don’t know me anymore.”
69
After the self-mockery, he walked slowly to Andy, and said indifferently,
"Young man, you are so arrogant, today, I’ll teach you a lesson that there
is always someone better than you!”
Then, Shengli took off his tunic suit and throw it to the guard standing
on the side.
Shengli didn’t fight for a long time. It’s not easy to meet a hothead, so he
wanted to have a fight with him in order to stretch his muscles.
The security guards on the scene were so excited for their boss was
going to have a fight with someibe. For them, it’s so fortunate to see a
fight of Shengli with their own eyes, which, they thought, could widen
their horizon.
Even the big shots came out of the private room also laughed with
interest. However, Andy didn’t say anything. His expression remained
impassive.
“Put the woman down and I’ll fight you.” Shengli was serious.
Andy said insipidly, "To hit you, I don’t need to put her down.”
Arrogant, so arrogant!
“You are digging your own grave!” Shengli thundered, then gave him a
whip-leg.
Holding Jenny in arms, Andy could only use his legs. He looked at
Shengli’s right leg and also uplift his leg.
70
Bang!
Boom!!!
Shengli could no longer retained his power, and the strong vigor broke
out from his body. He rushed to Andy again.
This time, he didn’t consider the woman Andy was holding. He took
Andy as a real enemy.
71
Andy was impatient after fighting for 2 minutes. He didn’t want to waste
more time, so he made his first attack.
Everyone just saw Andy, who was always on the defensive before,
suddenly jumped into the air and made a beautiful roundhouse kick.
Puff!
Shengli suffered a heavy hit and spitted lots of blood. And he also fell on
the ground.
“The young man is really filled with strength!” These several big shots
also shocked in their hearts.
As for Shengli lying on the ground, he was dull as well. He won all the
time during his life and never met such a strong rival, so he was hit
heavily both on the body and spirit. In an instant, he seemed 10 years
old.
72
At that freezing time, Andy looked down on Shengli who was still lying,
warning insipidly, "Don’t make me mad again, or it has no benefit for
you.” Then, he walked forward.
“Excuse me.” In this moment, a large number of men in suits broke in the
crowd and rushed over here.
73
Changsheng Li helped Andy Wu to find out that Jenny Xia was at the
Yuting Hotel right now, but Andy Wu didn’t ask Changsheng to come
with him. It was Changsheng who intended to do so. He was afraid that
Andy would get into trouble, so he asked a group of his subordinates to
come with him to the Hotel.
As these words were spoken, the crowd suddenly became silent, even
the pin falling on the ground can be heard. Everyone was dumbfounded
and motionless, like wood sculptures.
What kind of person Changsheng Li is! He is one of the most noble men
of Jiangdong Province. This time he came to the Westplain City. Among
all the big guns in this City who were present, each of them wanted to
have dinner with Changsheng Li, but none of them succeeded. However,
to their surprise, such a powerful man showed highly respect to Andy Wu
and even called him the Third Master. Isn’t it surprising?
For Andy, the top priority was to let Jenny go home and have a good
rest.
Jenny didn’t wake up until noon, as soon as she woke up, she had a
headache, she felt as if her head was going to explode. It was really
74
uncomfortable. After a while, she recovered the ability to think. It came
back to her that she was drunk last night.
Jenny Xia had never drunk white wine before. After drinking last night,
she realized that she couldn’t hold her glass well. After drinking one
glass of wine, she lost her memory. Now she couldn’t remember what
happened after the drinking and how she got home.
Thinking of this, Jenny immediately lifted the quilt and checked her body.
Finding the clothes on her body were untouched, she breathed a sigh of
relief.
After getting off the bed, Jenny went to the bathroom to wash herself
briefly, and then she left the bedroom.
As soon as she came out of the room, Jenny asked Guilan Huang who
was cooking in the kitchen: "Mom, how did I get home last night?"
Guilan Huang answered her question while cooking: "Last night you
didn’t answer my phone call, so I went out to find you. When I came
back, you were already asleep in bed, I don't know how you got back.
How could you ask me this question, how much wine did you drink last
night? "
Jenny shut her mouth and said nothing. She walked aside, took out her
mobile phone, and called her assistant Xiaoli Zhang. As soon as Xiaoli
answered the phone, Jenny immediately asked, "What happened last
night, why did I go home directly? "
Xiaoli Zhang replied: "I was also drunk last night and woke up at home
this morning. My families said it was the hotel staff who sent me back.
Maybe the same thing happened to you."
75
Hearing this, Jenny was relieved, and she immediately asked: "Did we
make the final deal with Green Garden Real Estate?"
Xiaoli Zhang said disappointingly: "Ah, don't mention it, Dahai Hu was
such a liar. There is no new house to be renovated at Green Garden Real
Estate. He played us. Now Dahai Hu has been fired by Green Garden Real
Estate."
Jenny Xia was extremely upset, but she didn't even bother to think more.
Today is the last day of the month. If the order worths 20 million dollars
aren’t negotiated, she will lose her job.
So, Jenny said immediately: "I’m going to the company now." After that,
she hung up the phone.
Andy Wu, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, heard all of
Jenny's words and saw Jenny was leaving. He couldn't help but said,
"Don't drink any more."
Jenny Xia was so upset, when she heard Andy's words, she just answered
impatiently: "Do you think I really like drinking? Didn’t I do this all for
76
work?" Facing the crisis of getting fired, Jenny had a lot of pressure, this
whole family was all counting on her, she couldn't lose her job anyway.
Guilan Huang ran out of the kitchen and shouted to her: "Jenny, have
your breakfast before leaving!"
Jenny Xia said while going out, "I don’t have time for breakfast."
Guilan Huang sighed, and then she cursed at Andy: "If Jenny gets fired,
you, go to hell!"
When Jenny Xia arrived at the company, she hurried to the Business
Department.
At this time, Bill Xia was making fun of Jenny’s misfortune. He stared at
Jenny, and said in a weird way, "Jenny, I heard that you didn't come to
work the whole morning. Did you already give up and get prepared to
leave the company?" Bill Xia couldn't help showing a mocking smile.
The old lady gave Jenny Xia an ultimatum of a 20 million dollar order. Bill
and Jenny always had a bad relationship. Especially Jenny had a foolish
husband who also ruined Bill’s reputation. He was discredited and
ashamed of Andy Wu. Every time he saw Andy, he desperately wanted to
kill Andy. He was still angry at Andy who yelled at him last time, he
always kept this in mind!
Jenny also hates Bill. She replied: "It’s none of your business." She
bypassed Bill and went to the business department.
77
It was the time of lunch break, everyone in the business department was
eating meals, resting or gossiping, only Xiaoli Zhang was waiting for
Jenny.
As soon as Jenny came, she told Xiaoli:" Ask everyone to gather in the
meeting room now, we’re going to hold a meeting."
Ten minutes later, Jenny Xia led an emergency meeting in the meeting
room of the business department. The aim of the meeting was how to
complete the order of 20 million dollars.
There was only half a day left before the deadline set by the old lady.
Signing a large order of 20 million dollars within the half day was
completely impossible.
However, Jenny Xia was a person who just wanted to win. She will never
give up until the last second. After a brief discussion, she asked Xiaoli
Zhang: "Are there any companies we have missed?"
Xiaoli Zhang looked at the report and said, "At present, there is only one
company that may take a 20 million order."
78
Changsheng Group. Xia’s Group, as an ordinary decoration company,
dare not dream of any relationship with Changsheng Group.
Of course Jenny Xia knowed that Changsheng Group was the sky beyond
reach. However, now that she has been pushed to a dead end, even if
her chances are slim, she wanted to have a try.
"Haha, did you hear that Jenny Xia was going to Changsheng Group to
discuss the business?"
Bill Xia with his group of subordinates strode into the meeting room of
the business department.
"Cooperating with Changsheng Group? Even the old lady didn't dare to
think about it, did Jenny Xia get infected by Andy Wu, is she crazy?"
"Jenny, if you go there, I guarantee that you can't even enter the gate,
please don't shame us."
"Yes, our company will go downhill just because you are married to a
fool. Don't get yourself fired and shame us!"
People who came in with Bill Xia were all from Xia’s family.
Bill heard that Jenny was holding an emergency meeting during the
lunch break, so he deliberately brought his families over to make fun of
Jenny's dilemma. He didn't expect to hear such a big joke as soon as
79
they came in. How dare she go to Changsheng Group to discuss about
the cooperation, this was really ridiculous.
Being ridiculed in public by this group of people, Jenny Xia couldn't save
her face. She was ashamed, but more annoyed. She stared them angrily
and shouted to these worms in the family: "The reason why our company
is in a bad situation, don't blame me, it’s all because of you, a group of
worms. You did nothing but depend on our family business. What are
you qualified to laugh at me? Even if Changsheng Group won’t agree to
cooperate with us, at least I have tried, I have no regrets! "
The members of Xia’s family present, except Bill Xia have a few
knowledge, most of them are idiots in business. Since grandpa passed
away, the old lady has arranged a lot of useless offspring into the
company, even let they hold an important position in the company,
making the company in a mess. Now the company ran into a problem,
they just blamed on Jenny.
In the past, Jenny Xia swallowed her rage, holding everything in the
heart. Now since she is going to be fired, Jenny will no longer be
scrupulous, and she will say whatever she wants.
Hearing this, Bill was so angry. He gritted his teeth and shouted to Jenny:
"You are a bad luck, how dare you blame others! It was you tarnished our
family's reputation and made our business worse than ever. Just wait,
until you get out of the company tomorrow, I guarantee the company
will continue to flourish in the future! "
After Bill finished speaking, others in Xia's family all echoed, saying that
Jenny was a disaster. Only when she left the company would the
company's situation improve.
80
Jenny didn't want to fight the war with words, she just took the company
information and left.
At the gate of the first floor of the building, there were two security
guards on duty.
People who get in and out of the company must bring a work permit. If
someone forgets to bring it, even employees are not allowed to enter.
When Jenny arrived here, she couldn't help but feel fascinated. She
looked up at the prosperous building, then stepped forward and walked
in.
"Sorry, please show me your work permit." Without exception, Jenny Xia
was stopped by the security guard at the door.
"Do you have an appointment?" One of the tall security guards said.
81
Jenny shook her head: "No."
The tall security guard said sternly: "You can't go in without permission."
Jenny Xia bit her lips, then opened her mouth again, said with a tone of
prayer: "Can you come me some slack, I really want to cooperate with
your company."
Jenny used to be elegant and confident, but now, in order to keep her
job, she had to lower her head and beg a security guard.
The tall security guard said indifferently: "No, hurry and leave, otherwise I
will ask someone to drive you away."
Jenny didn’t want to go back like this, she stood at the door, very upset.
"Go away, don't block the door." Another security guard said toughly.
Jenny Xia was thin-skinned. She was flushed being driven away in such a
way. Even she was unwilling to leave, she couldn’t stay here any more, so
she had to turn around and leave here.
82
"Let her in." Said a voice inside from the building.
Jenny caught sight of the speaker at once. There was a woman standing
in the hall of the building and staring at Jenny.
This woman was the roommate of Jenny Xia in college, her name was
Qin Zou.
As soon as Jenny saw her, she smiled and said in surprise: “ What are you
doing here, Qin?”
Qin Zou waved her hands to Jenny and said, “Come in, please.”
Jenny couldn’t believe it. She hesitated for a while and glanced at the
guard. She didn’t expect that the guard made a “Please come in” posture
to her.
Afterwards, Jenny stepped into the hall of Changsheng Group with great
excitement and surprise.
After entering the hall, Jenny saw the I.D. badge on the neck of Qin, it
turned out that Qin was the Resource Head of the company. No wonder
that she had the authority to let Jenny in.
83
Qin said proudly, “Just so so, you know, it’s all of my husband’s credits. I
got this job in Changsheng Group thanks to him.”
When they were in college, Qin couldn’t compare with Jenny from all
aspects. Jenny was then pretty and rich. Her grades were also good. She
was the famous beauty in the school. As for Qin, she was just ‘someone
around Jenny’, serve as a foil to Jenny. It looked like they are best friends.
They are roommates, always be together everywhere. In fact, Qin really
hates Jenny. Because Jenny covered all of her merits, making her
unnoticed. When Jenny was around, everyone would pay attention to
Jenny but neglect Qin’s existence completely. This was a blow for Qin’s
vanity and pride.
After graduation, Qin made great efforts to marry a rich man. Although
he was ten years older than Qin, she didn’t care. Because he was rich and
powerful, and that’s enough for her.
Oppositely, Jenny Xia married a fool. When Qin heard about this, she
couldn’t be happier. She finally managed to beat Jenny for once. But she
never got the chance to show off, because she hasn’t met Jenny since
graduation. What a coincidence, today she happened to see Jenny
outside her company and get kicked out by the guards. Of course she
wouldn’t miss the great opportunity.
Jenny didn’t catch the hidden message in Qin’s words. She just felt a little
bit depressed when hearing of Qin’s marriage. After all she has a foolish
husband who couldn’t help her anyway. She just replied unhappily, “ I
really admire you.”
Seeing Jenny’s sad expression, Qin was very happy. But on the face, she
pretended to be friendly, she said to Jenny, “ Have a seat, please.”
84
While speaking, Qin led Jenny to the special sofa for guests in the hall.
“ Two cups of coffee, please.” As soon as they sat down, Qin ordered the
receptionist.
Things were totally different from years ago. Now Qin was really decent
and proud.
After the coffee was served, Qin opened her mouth and asked Jenny, “ I
heard that you married a fool, this can’t be true, right?”
This news was already spread everywhere, Qin knew it very well, but she
still pretended to be surprised.
Jenny was shameful. She bit her lips and answered, “Sorry, I don’t want to
talk about this.”
Qin pursued, “I just want to know, it must be easy for you to find a good
husband with your condition, why did you choose a fool as your
husband?”
Jenny was so shamed that she even wanted to dig a hole and bury
herself at this moment. She didn’t want to face such a sharp question.
This has always been a pain for her. The reason why she dare not to meet
with her old friends and classmates was exactly she married Andy Wu.
Now Qin wouldn’t let her go, it made her feel so miserable. She said
bitterly, “Let’s skip this topic.”
Seeing her like this, Qin smiled and said, “Ok, forget about your husband,
let’s talk about you. What are you doing here today?”
Hearing this, Jenny suppressed her depression at once and took out the
information of her own company and said, “This is the detailed
85
information of our company, I want to contract your company’s
decoration business.” For Jenny, Qin Zou was her best hope. Qin was in
privileged position in Changsheng Group and she was so nice to Jenny.
Jenny really hoped Qin could give her a hand.
Qin took over and went through the information of Jenny’s company.
She said, “ It’s not a easy thing.”
Qin paused for a while and then started to brag, “But I had a good
relationship with our senior managers. If I say something nice for you,
this is not impossible.”
Qin took a sip of coffee and said lightly, “ I can’t do it unless you beg
me.”
Jenny was dumbfounded hearing this. While in college, Qin was so nice
to her. She always helped Jenny, even as kind of flattery. Now she has
changed a lot. She became so powerful that Jenny had to look up at her.
Jenny felt bitterly in her heart. But during this key period, she really
needed this order and Qin’s help. She had no choice but to accept Qin’s
request. She tried to calm down and begged Qin sincerely, “Qin, I really
need the order. So please help me for the sake of our relationship.”
Qin was really happy when she heard this. Jenny who was so elegant
before now has been overwhelmed by life pressure, how exciting it is!
86
Qin hid this feeling in her heart and changed her expression. She patted
the table and stood up, shouted to Jenny, “I let you in just because we
were classmates, Jenny Xia, I didn’t see that you dare to bribe me. What
kind of person do you think of me?”
All of a sudden, Jenny was dumbfounded. She didn’t expect Qin put on
another face so quickly. She was confused, “What do you mean, Qin?”
Qin was holding the papers in her hands and she scolded, “What do I
mean? You were in such an ordinary company, how dare you come to
ask for cooperation with Changsheng Group!And you even wanted to
bribe me. What were you thinking ? Don’t you know that our company
has a professional decoration team? What qualified you to cooperate
with us?”
After saying this, Qin slapped the papers on the face of Jenny.
“How can she overreach like this? How can her little company cooperate
with Changsheng Group?”
Jenny would rather kill herself than be ridiculed by so many people here.
She was so shamed and upset. At this point, even she was not that smart,
87
she realized that Qin never wanted to help her. She let Jenny in just
because she wanted to humiliate her.
She quietly picked up the papers on the ground and shouted to Qin, “
You can just tell me if you don’t want to help me. But please don’t
humiliate me. You’re completely out of line!”
Qin mumbled, “Now I finally understand why you chose that fool to be
your husband. Since you are a fool and you have no idea of who you are.
Even if you want to bribe someone, you shouldn’t come to me. Don’t you
know we have strict legislation in our company? Even the guard is
smarter than you.”
Qin’s words stirred up crowd’s reactions strongly. “ The fool Andy Wu? Is
she the lady from Xia’s Family?”
“No wonder her face is so familiar. That’s her, the bride of the fool!”
“Maybe there’s something wrong with her head. That’s why she came to
our company for cooperation. Isn’t she crazy?”
These voices were like hailstones punching on Jenny’s face, making her
feel dazzled. Her eyes became tearful and sore. But she restrained herself
from crying, she didn’t want to embarrass herself. She tried to save her
face and dignity. She said the words firmly with her hoarse voice, “I want
88
to cooperate with your company, that’s true. I know I overreached. But
I’ve never tried to bribe you, please don’t frame me.”
All Qin wanted was to humiliate Jenny in public. She wanted to step on
the body of Jenny Xia and let everyone know she was much better than
Jenny. Now she achieved her aim, she didn’t want to waste more time.
She shouted, “Guard, get this crazy woman out of our company.”
Jenny’s body was stiffened. Her heart was filled with sorrow. It felt like
she was stabbed by an acquaintance deeply. She saw the guards running
to her, and she was getting desperate.
But, right before the guards came over and drive her out, someone said,
“Stop!”
Just one word, but with power and authority. Suddenly, the crowd
became quiet. They turned around and saw the speaker simultaneously.
Qin also walked over. In the Human Resources Department, Rong Guo
was in the highest level. He was the ultimate boss of Qin. Qin couldn’t be
the manager of Human Resources Department without his help. So Qin
showed respect to Rong a lot. She was gallant in front of Rong. “Director
Guo, what brings you here?”
89
His words was so firm.
Rong Guo scolded her, “I’m not kidding. Now pack up your things and
get out of the company.”
Qin was scared by him, several kinds of feelings were in her heart, upset,
astonishing, unbelievable and something unutterable.
What kind of person Rong Guo was. He was the Director of Changsheng
Group who was in the highest level of the Group. Within this large
company, there was only few ones could be treated by Rong like this.
They couldn’t believe that Jenny Xia who was from a small decoration
company could be respected as a distinguished guest
90
This scene was so striking. Those who were stunned were even more
shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
Qin Zou was suspicious and couldn’t believe what she saw. She was
unwilling to accept the reality, but she had to confront it. This was just
like a slap on her face.
As for Jenny, she was totally dumbfounded. She has been in the deepest
despair, her dignity was tramped, her heart was striken, her face
completely lost, she even felt the world was dark. But she never expected
that at this time the Director of Changsheng Group suddenly appeared
and fired the arrogant Qin, and he even allowed her to discuss the
cooperation.
Jenny Xia couldn’t believe it. It just didn’t feel real. She could not get
over it , she felt like being in a surreal dream.
“Miss.Xia, this way, please.” Seeing Jenny motionless, Rong Guo said
politely.
Jenny shilvered and finally responded. She realized that Rong was talking
to her.
Her heart was stirred immediately. She was so excited that her eyes
seemed to twinkle. She couldn’t help looking at the shocked expression
of people around her. Then she glanced at Qin whose face went an ugly
green. At this moment, she felt so delighted. She was able to raise her
head proudly. An unprecedented feeling of pleasure rushed through her
body.
Under scrutiny of all the people, Jenny stepped and entered the elevator
with Rong.
91
Without saying a word on the way, Jenny’s excitement changed into
tension. She discreetly followed Rong to the big office on the top floor of
the building.
Rong stopped at the office door and slightly bowed to Jenny, he said:
“Miss.Xia, please come in, our boss is waiting for you.”
Jenny was holding the information between her fingers. She tried to calm
down and be well prepared. Then she raised her hand and knocked the
door of the office.
“Come in, please.” A dignified male voice came from the office.
The office was so big. As soon as she got in, she felt her horizon became
wider. However, now she wasn’t in a mood to appreciate this luxury
office. She stared at the man in front of her. There was a man sitting
behind the desk.
Jianye Yang was well-known in Westplain City. He was the man standing
at the top of the pyramid in Westplain City. Jenny just saw this famous
man on the TV before. She never expected to meet him in the flesh.
Right now, Jenny’s heart almost jumped out of her throat. What
happened today was like a miracle. She boldly came here with vain hope.
She thought if she was lucky enough, she might have the chance to meet
the Department Manager. Now, the Director led her way, the Vice
President served her personally, it’s such a honor to her.
92
Jenny has never been so nervous before. Her hands were rubbing the
corners of her dress. She took a while to open her mouth and croaked,
“Nice to meet you, President Yang.
Jianye Yang smiled to her and said, “Nice to meet you, too. Miss. Xia,
please have a seat.”
Jenny’s legs were so stiffen that she couldn’t stand up straight. So she sat
down at the chair in front of the desk at once.
After Jenny sat down, Jianye said,“Our staff is so rude, it’s my fault. Please
don’t mind, Miss.Xia.”
Obviously he implied Qin Zou. To her surprise, such a successful boss like
Jianye Yang was being so humble and friendly, he even made the first
move to apologize to Jenny. Jenny was so flattered and answered, “It’s
okay. Never mind.”
Jianye Yang stared at Jenny and asked, “I heard Miss.Xia was going to
cooperate with our company, right?”
Jianye Yang noticed that Jenny was very nervous, so he said, “Take it
easy, Miss.Xia. I heard about your excellent talent in designing. And I
always hold the intention to cooperate with your company. Since you
offered to cooperate, isn’t it great?”
After finishing the words, he took out a contract and put it on the desk.
He continued, “This is an order worths fifty million dollars. Please check
it, Miss.Xia. If you have no problem, just sign your name on it.”
93
Jenny Xia was the interior decorator. Before being transferred to the
Business Department, she has been working in the Decoration
Department. She really had a talent in decoration. However, it’s a surprise
that Jianye Yang would value her. He even decided to sign contract with
her without asking a question?
It’s a blessing!
Jenny was overwhelmed by the joy. She excitedly reached out her hand
and took the contract. She carefully read the document and found the
terms of the contract were very clear. Changsheng Group was going to
contract an important project to Anjule Company.
After signing this contract, her company wouldn’t need to worry about
the performance any more. Most importantly, this order would also bring
lots of energy to her company and make its situation improved. Facing
this temptation, how could Jenny be not excited! But she still kept a bit
of sanity. She carefully tested, “Mr.Yang, you’re not kidding, right?”
Jianye Yang answered seriously, “No, I’m not kidding. I’m optimistic
about your potential.”
His words were so firm and they’re really important to Jenny. Hearing
him out, Jenny’s eyes were tearful. She couldn’t be happier. How could
94
this miracle happen to her! It felt like the goddess of luck was stopping
by her. She was not a innocent girl, but this whole thing was so amazing
that she couldn’t believe it.
After a few minutes, Jenny suppressed her complex emotions. She lifted
the pen and signed her name on the contract with her heartfelt
gratitude.
After signing the contract, Jenny stood up and bowed to Jianye Yang,
she said, “Thank you for your recognition, Mr.Yang. We will never let you
down.”
Jianye Yang stood up promptly and said to Jenny Xia, “It’s my pleasure.”
Meanwhile, Jianye Yang was just as nervous as Jenny Xia. He has been
struggled so many years in business, but he has never been in such a
mood. For him, Jenny Xia was like a goddess, he had to sacrifice her.
Jianye Yang modestly asked, “Executive Li, did I make any mistake?”
It was half past four in the afternoon. In the meeting room of Anjule
Company.
95
In response to the old lady’s request to hold a meeting of all staffs, the
employee of the company all put down their work and rushed to the
meeting room.
The old lady didn’t tell them about the content of the meeting. But
everyone knew what’s going on. This was a meeting about Jenny Xia, she
will soon be kicked out of the company.
The old lady hasn’t arrived yet. Everyone was relaxed. Bill Xia and his
brothers were entertaining themselves by making fun of Jenny.
“Jenny Xia already missed the deadline, she hasn’t finished the task yet,
of course she should be fired.”
“She is a bad luck. How much negative effects she has brought to our
company! She should have been fired earlier.”
After sitting on the chief chair, the old lady looked around and asked, “
Why isn’t Jenny here?”
Bill smiled and answered, “She wouldn’t give up. So she went to
Changsheng Group and ask for cooperation. She hasn’t come back yet.”
96
The old lady was a sophisticate. Hearing of this, she knew it clearly that
what would happen to Jenny. She screwed up her face and said
unhappily, “What she could do was just humiliate us!”
Then she declared to all staffs, “ I declare to fire Jenny Xia from now on.”
She finished the words and people there all burst into cheers, as if this
was the best news in their life.
“How could you fire me?” At this moment, Jenny suddenly walked in and
turned the question back.
The old lady glance at Jenny and said in a cold voice, “Did you forget
what I told you last morning?”
The old lady’s gave her an icy stare and asked, “So, did you succeed?”
Jenny answered her word by word, “Yes, I did.” Her tone was so serious.
But nobody believed her. They all burst into laughters as if they heard a
joke.
Bill said in satire, “haha, Jenny Xia, don’t you want to tell me you made a
contract with Changsheng Group?”
97
In the voices of doubt, Jenny walked to the old lady quickly, she took out
the contract and gave it to the old lady, she said, “This is our contract
with Changsheng Group, please have a look, grandma.”
The old lady picked up the contract and her hands were trembling.
"Grandma, what do you mean by fifty million?" Bill couldn't help but ask
as he looked at the old lady with such excitement.
The old lady ignored Bill, but raised her eyelids, stared at Jenny, and
sternly questioned: "Jenny, you won't deliberately forge a fake contract
to fool me, right? How could Changsheng Corporation possibly give us
an order of fifty million?" After the shock, the old lady just didn't believe
it. This whole thing was so ridiculous, who would believe it.
The others in the meeting room hearing this from the old lady also finally
understood what the old lady was surprised about.
Immediately, all the people of the Xia family said in disbelief, “Jenny must
be lying. She is a new business, how can she get such a big order?
98
"Yes, the contract was signed with Changsheng Corporation. Our
company is not competitive. Why would they want to do business with
us?"
These voices were extremely sharp. Jenny’s face was becoming cold. To
finish her task, she went to Changsheng Corporation, and after being
mocked, she finally signed a large order with the company. However,
these people not only didn't thank her, but they also belittled her, and
even her grandma also didn't believe her, which really hurt her feelings.
While they were talking, Jenny pulled his voice and said loudly, "The
contract has the official seal of Changsheng Corporation on it.
At this moment, Jenny showed her confidence that had never been seen
before.
"I don't believe you, I’ll call the company." Bill was the first to take out his
cell phone and dial the phone of the Changsheng Corporation.
When the call got through, Bill asked about the order directly.
One simple sentence shocked everyone. The large conference room was
quiet.
99
Jenny gently raised her eyes and took a glance at these dumbfounded
people. The annoyance in her heart had finally dissipated and now she
was finally a little more relaxed.
At six o'clock in the evening, Mrs. Huang had prepared a large table of
food and was waiting for Jenny.
As soon as Jenny returned, Mrs. Huang reassured her, "Jenny, even if you
were fired from the company, you don't have to be discouraged. It's also
not hard to get a job with another company in your capacity."
Mrs. Huang knew that her daughter was stressed, and she didn't want to
give her too much pressure.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huang's expression suddenly changed, her eyes
widened and she asked in surprise, "Ah? Has the old lady changed her
mind?"
Jenny shook her head and said seriously, "No, I signed an order for fifty
million."
Her mother suddenly opened her mouth wide. The sum of fifty million
stunned her; she couldn't believe it and asked, "It can't be? When
something so lucky happened to you? Why don't you have a look of
surprise?"
Jenny exhaled and muttered back, "I didn't expect to be so lucky, I just
can't believe it." What had happened today was indeed like a dream, and
Jenny needed some time to calm her mood.
100
When Mrs. Huang heard this, she hugged Jenny and said excitedly, "My
good daughter, you are really wonderful, I love you so much!" She was
so excited that she was about to cry.
Jenny saw her mother so happy, and a smile appeared on her face too.
Andy who was standing beside saw Jenny smiling, and his heart was
relieved.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Jenny was lying in bed, her thoughts
running wild. She couldn't stop thinking.
Ever since her marriage to Andy three years ago and the death of her
grandfather, Jenny's life had hit a low point, and she had had a lot of
trouble. The burden of the family and the cold eyes of others kept her
under tremendous pressure. She also felt the inconstancy of human
relationships.
But today, after she suffered a blow of Qin Zou, a miracle had occurred.
She surprisingly got the appreciation and affirmation of Jianye Yang, vice
president of Changsheng Corporation, and signed a large order of 50
million. This made Jenny build up confidence and even saw the hope in
life.
Jenny let out an exclamation, "When will I be able to live the life I want?"
"I can give you everything you want," Andy who was lying under the bed
said this suddenly.
101
Jenny's fond wish was directly shattered by Andy's words. She came back
to reality and said to Andy, "I'll be grateful as long as you don't get me
into trouble."
After saying that, Jenny put the quilt over her head and fell asleep
The Xia family was proud of the fact that Anjule Decoration Company
was in the hands of the Changsheng Corporation
The old lady was very happy that Jenny finally won the honor for the
family.
102
At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Huang stood outside the
bedroom and urged Jenny, "Jenny, are you dressed up? You're the main
character today, so don't be late."
"Not yet, wait a minute." Jenny's voice came out from the bedroom.
Ten minutes later, Jenny walked out from the bedroom. She was like a
fairy, wearing a white dress and a pair of high heels. She also wore
delicate makeup.
Andy on the couch couldn't help but looked Jenny many times.
After saying that, she couldn't help but look at Andy again and said in
disgust, "But it's really bad luck to marry a fool like you!"
Jenny took her mother's arm and said, "Mom don't talk about him like
that. Let’s go now!"
Mrs. Huang rushed Andy and cursed, "Why did you come with us? You
just stay home."
Jenny explained, "I let him go. I can't let him starve at home."
103
Mrs. Huang sighed and said, "You are just too soft-hearted."
After saying that, she then admonished Andy, "You keep your mouth
shut outside, or I'll beat you up when you go home."
The Xia family had booked more than a dozen seats in the Yuting Hotel.
When Jenny came, the Xia family was all there; even the old lady came to
the hotel early.
As soon as Andy appeared, many people would look at him with disgust.
However, because Jenny was the main character today, the old lady
warned the Xia family beforehand not to taut him..
So this time, none of the Xia family taunted Andy for the first time.
"Moran, come, sit with Grandma." As soon as Jenny appeared, the old
lady waved at her.
With Jenny's position in the Xia family, she is not qualified to be at the
table with the old lady. Those who can sit with the old lady are the elders
of the family, or the descendants of the old lady who are most valued.
Jenny was very excited at this moment. For the first time the family didn't
mock Jenny and no one treated her with cold eyes, and for the first time
the old lady let Jenny sit at the same table with her. She really saw hope,
and perhaps in the future, if she worked hard, she would be recognized
by the family and valued by her grandmother.
Jenny couldn't help but straighten her back, and with hope and
confidence, she walked towards the old lady and sat at table with her
grandmother.
104
Andy also walked over to Jenny and sat down next to her.
"This is not a place for you to sit." The old lady stared at Andy and said in
a cold voice.
The old lady had a high status in the Xia family, and no one dared to
disregard what she said, but Andy didn't care her words, he ignored the
old lady and still sat down.
Seeing this, Jenny hurriedly said, "You go and find another seat!" Jenny
knew that this family valued rules and hierarchy, and it was not
appropriate for Andy to sit with the old lady.
Hearing Jenny's words, Andy silently got up, walked to an empty seat in
a corner and sat down.
At twelve o'clock, the banquet began, and the whole room was silent.
The old lady looked at Jenny and said sincerely, "Today Jenny has made
a great contribution to the company, and she also honors our family. She
deserves praise."
Jenny was happy to be praised by the old lady, just like the elementary
school students were praised by their teachers, and she immediately
replied, "Thank you, grandma."
Bill, who was sitting beside, was a bit jealous of Jenny, and he interjected,
"I think grandmother is very good. It is grandmother who sees that Jenny
has the talent in business. If grandmother didn’t transfer her to the
business department, this order could not be negotiated." Bill's meaning
was obvious, he thought Jenny could only be a saleswoman.
105
The old lady didn't refute Bill's words either. She just smiled at Jenny and
asked, "Jenny, tell everyone, how did you get the deal?"
Jenny was about to speak, but suddenly someone came straight at her
and threw a full glass of wine in her face.
At the same time, a sharp female voice resounded throughout the room,
"You vixen, you seduced my director and got me fired, you really are too
shameless!"
Qin's rude behavior that splashing wine and shocking words abruptly
changed the atmosphere of the celebration party. All the Xia family
members looked at Jenny oddly.
Having realizing from the mess, Jenny burst into anger, wiping her face
quickly with a tissue. She stood up and shouted at Qin, "Don't talk
nonsense here. You were fired only because of your bad personality. "
Having been in one class with her for four years, Jenny did not expect
that Qin turned out to be such a vicious person. Yesterday Qin slandered
106
her for bribery, today slandered for seducing the director again. Such a
woman was so disgusting.
Qin smiled coldly and said, "Oh, my personality was clearly known all
around the company. Director Guo used to think highly of me. So why
would he fire me for you?"
Jenny was stuck by her. She did not know why Director Guo fired Qin
directly either. There was indeed no need to fire her although Qin did
something wrong.
Before Jenny's reply, Qin continued, "Besides, do you really think your
damned decoration company was able to cooperate with Changsheng
Group? Was it not for your seducing, how could Changsheng Group
cooperate with you?"
Qin's words were clear and powerful even reasonable that caused the Xia
family members present to believe her gradually.
In this case, the expressions of the Xia family members became more
complicated and strange.
Jenny was very anxious and shouted with grievance, "I didn't do that at
all. I even don't know Director Guo. I could sign the contract because
President Yang appreciates my design talent."
President Yang?
107
Hearing this, Qin smiled disdainfully and ridiculed, "President Yang is the
boss of Changsheng Group. How could he value you? Don't overestimate
yourself! No one would believe it!"
All including the Xia family members present didn't believe it. They
thought Jianye Yang, an influential man, could not think about valuing
Jenny at all, which was just incredible.
Seeing that Jenny was speechless, she became more complacent. She
went beside Jenny and said proudly, "I haven't expected that you are so
tactful. It's obvious that you have hooked up with Director Guo. Why are
you acting in front of me to humiliate me publicly in the company?
Listen, this won’t be over!"
Boom!
What's more, Qin rampantly shouted, "Kneel down and apologize to me!
Or I won't let you out of this hotel!"
Though knowing that people here were Xia family, Qin behaved
extremely arrogant. She didn't care Jenny or her family and dared to
make trouble here because she had confidence.
"What are you? How dare you ask Jenny to apologize?" Guilan stood up
and walked toward Qin.
108
The Xia family did not trust Jenny except Guilan, Jenny's mother, who
knew about Jenny best. If Jenny were a material girl, she would have
divorced Andy and accepted Shihao without hesitation.
For her daughter's integrity, Guilan firmly believed that Jenny did never
sacrifice herself to hook up with any director.
Qin glared at Guilan and said angrily, "Get away! Mind your own
business."
Guilan was not as graceful as Jenny, who was known as a female tiger.
When her husband was alive, her husband was made so obedient. Now,
she also disdained to take such a little bitch seriously. Hearing what she
said, Guilan raised her hand and slapped Qin directly.
Pah! ! !
Later, Guilan yelled at Qin, "You shameless bitch! How dare you abuse
my daughter! Marrying an excellent man would come in handy for my
daughter. It's unnecessary for her to seduce your director at all! As for
you, look like a bitch to seduce any man! "
Qin covered her face and said unbelievably, "How dare you slap me? Do
you know who I am?"
Guilan said arbitrarily, "Nobody cares who you are. If you keep talking
nonsense, believe me or not, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Guilan had
shown her arrogance for her daughter.
Qin looked at Guilan angrily and gritted his teeth, "You will pay for it!"
109
After that, Qin shouted to the dazed waiter, "Go, call my husband to tell
him I have been bullied!"
Seeing that her mother stood up for her, she felt more comfortable. But
Qin was so arrogant to call her husband, which meant that her husband
might be an influential man. To avoid getting into trouble, Jenny said to
Qin, "My mother didn't mean it. She was just too impulsive. Could you ..."
Guilan interrupted Jenny at once and said toughly, "Don't talk to her. Let
her go to call anyone! I don't care at all!"
Then Guilan turned to shout at Qin again, "Oh, are you calling for help? I
must tell you that the whole banquet hall has been booked by us and all
present here are my Xia family. What can you do to us even if anyone
comes here? "
However, this time Qin had despised the whole Xia family.
Zhendong Xia, at the same table with Jenny, suddenly stood up and said
lightly to Qin, "Miss, enough? Go leave. Don't interrupt our dinner."
110
Zhendong not only had a say in the Xia family but also held a special
status in society. The inferiors of Xia family were all awed by him. Though
rebellious since childhood, he had extraordinary abilities, who had many
brothers under his control after over 20 years occupying position in
Westplain City. Up to now, he was still a big shot in Westplain. Even the
hoods had to call him Big Brother respectfully.
Zhendong did not mean to intervene in Jenny's matter. But now, Qin
despised the Xia family, making him displeased.
After hearing what he said, the others of the Xia family couldn't wait see
Qin leave.
Meanwhile, a group of people appeared. The leader was Qilong Sun, the
manager of Yuting Hotel.
Along with a large group of the hotel security guards, Qilong broke in
angrily.
Seeing him, Qin rushed over and said charmingly, "Dear, why are you so
late? I was badly bullied by them just now."
Qilong said acidly, "Who dare to bully you!" Qilong sounded cold.
Qilong, the agent of Yuting Hotel, what a muscled man, whose big boss
behind was Shengli Feng, who is with a powerful and influential position
in Westplain City. As the henchman of Shengli, Qilong was certainly
regarded as an influential figure in Westplain City that no one dares to
provoke him.
111
It was out of expectation that Qilong turned out to be her husband, such
a rampant woman.
Even Jenny was shocked to know that Qin's husband should be such a
big shot like Qilong, much more unusual than she thought before!
For fear of Qilong getting irritated, Zhendong, who looked powerful just
now, hurried off the table and came to Qilong, saying gently, "Manager
Sun, I'm so sorry. But it's a misunderstanding. I am Zhendong Xia. We
have drunk together before. Do you remember me? "
It was indeed a shame for Qilong that his wife was slapped. His eyes
flared up. He ignored Zhendong and asked Qin, "Who slapped you?"
Qin pointed toward Guilan and Jenny and said indignantly, "This one
slapped me and her daughter caused me fired by the company. Honey,
please help me deal with them!"
Following her pointing, Qilong’s heart shivered and his legs could hardly
support his weight when he saw Jenny.
The scene of the night before was still fresh in his mind that Andy
embraced Jenny, confronted with all around. The big boss of
Changsheng Group, Changsheng Li, even addressed Andy as Third
young master respectfully.
112
Qilong still remembered that Changsheng Li warned the boss Shengli to
offend everyone including himself but two people only.
Qilong knew that Dahai Hu, still in hospital, was concussed by Andy
because of offending Jenny!
He didn't expect the person that his wife offended today was Jenny!
With sweat running over his back, Qilong, who used to be kill-
determined, was completely panicked at this time, at a loss.
Guilan and Jenny were so nervous. Guilan's force as a female tiger before
was gone at present.
The old lady sitting next to Jenny could not keep watching that Xia family
were humiliated here. Under pressure, she stood up and spoke to Qilong
cautiously, "Manager Sun, the old man of Xia family had some relation
with your boss Feng. We Xia family are also regulars of your hotel. Could
you please let it go for my sake?"
To keep the dignity of Xia family, the old lady even spoke out Guangyao
Xia. Though she had tried her best, she was not sure whether it could
make a difference or not.
Just as Qilong was at a loss, the old lady's words really released him in
time. He felt so grateful for her and immediately replied, "No problem of
course! Enjoy yourselves. Forget about it. "
113
How could Qin let it go? She refused to leave and yelled at Qilong,
"Please, I was slapped! Why don't you revenge for me?" Qin was very
aggrieved that her powerful husband had given way to Xia family.
"Apologize to my wife."
Just as Qilong was dragging Qin out of the banquet hall, Andy, who was
sitting in the corner, spoke lightly.
They had been grateful for the God since Qilong Sun was eventually
about to leave. When they felt somehow relived, something unexpected
happened at this crucial time that, all of a sudden, Andy the idiot came
up with such surprising words which made things even worse.
Jenny was extremely intense and was also shocked by his words; without
any hesitation, she walked quickly to Andy and stood in front of him,
“Shut up! Who allowed you to speak?” Jenny shouted angrily. She knew
114
that Andy was defending her, but what he did was no more than
offending a furious tiger which would bring her and her family infinite
trouble!
After that, Jenny walked quickly to Qilong and stood beside him, “Sorry,
Mr. Sun. My husband got something wrong with his head. I beg you to
forgive him,” Jenny apologized cautiously.
Her heart was shaking for fear that Andy had provoked Qilong.
In fact, Qilong was even more anxious when Andy got angry. He knew
how frightening Andy was, so he immediately apologized to Jenny,
“What your husband said is right; we should apologize for disturbing
while you were eating."
Qilong’s reaction made all the people present astonished. They were in
great doubt.
Qin Zou was stunned to dumb, and even suspected that she had
misheard that. How could it be?
It was acknowledged that her husband Qilong was known for being
tough in Westplain City and no one would dare to provoke him. Every
time he got in trouble, no matter how hard it was, he would always
handle it properly. But now, what made him a coward in front of Xia
family? Why did she have to apologize to Jenny?
Qin Zou couldn’t believe it and shouted at Qilong, “Don’t you know her
husband is an idiot? Why are you listening to him?”
115
Crack!!!
Qilong slapped her heavily on the face and rebuked her angrily, “I told
you to apologize to Ms. Xia!”
His words were very determined without any room for negotiation.
Although he was part of the gangsters, he had never slapped her once.
This was the first he had slapped Qin Zou.
Qin was completely stunned for she had never seen he got furious like
this. She was frightened, and didn’t know what to do. Not daring to
contradict him again, she forced herself to apologize to Jenny, “Sorry,”
said she reluctantly.
Jenny was totally confused. She couldn’t believe that things would
change in such a dramatic reversal: Qin, that arrogant woman, eventually
apologized to her and lowered her head in front of her! What’s more,
Qilong the big shot forced her wife to apologize to her! All these were
beyond Jenny’s imagination.
So were the other family members. They felt like falling into a dream.
He showed no patience and kindness to this woman who had forced her
wife to kneel down to apologize.
116
All the family members were angry to faint. It was already flattered that
Qin would apologize to them, which could, after all, prove that Qilong
stopped looking down upon them. However, to their surprise, Andy was
dissatisfied with it but even wanted Qin to kneel down. For Qin and
Qilong, it was never unacceptable!
All the family members couldn’t stand him anymore and began to
reproach him, “You are such an idiot! What are you talking about? Now
that she is willing to apologize, why still you ask her to kneel down?”
“You’ve gone too far. If you want to die, do it yourself. Never involve us
in!”
“He is just a fool, and has nothing to do with us. Mr. Sun, you just do it if
you want to give him a lesson!”
People of Xia family showed their stance one after another lest they
should have gotten involved in this incident.
Nevertheless, they would never know about what Qilong was thinking
about.
In Qilong’s heart, Andy was the one that he would never dare to provoke
and people like him was not whom he could offend. Now that Andy has
required, he had no choice but to accept his request no matter how
reluctant he actually was, “Kneel down to apologize to Ms. Xia.”
Hearing this, Qin felt like being struck by lightning. She stared with wide
eyes and asked Qilong incredibly, “What? You ask me to kneel down?”
She hates Jenny. That she could lower her head to apologize to her has
reached her limit that she could stand. Making her to kneel down to
Jenny was unacceptable than killing her on the spot.
117
“Yes. Kneel down to apologize. Right now!” cried he word for word.
She was almost bursting into tears and shouted at Qilong in a chocking
voice, “On what ground could you ask me to do that? Obviously, I’m the
victim who has been beaten. You didn’t defend me and help me out;
instead, you ordered me to kneel down. How could you? Why did you
listen to an idiot?”
She felt so grieved and that she even lost her hope to live on. Yesterday,
Mr. Guo fired her for the sake of Jenny and humiliated her in front of
others; today, her husband forced her to kneel down to her. She just
didn’t know what was wrong with them?
People of the Xia family present were all shocked for what was going on
which was totally beyond their imagination. What a strange thing!
Jenny was also shocked by this and didn’t know what Qilong had in his
mind. Why did he follow everything Andy said?
Even though Qin was willing to kneel down, Jenny could have never
dared to allow her to do so.
118
His voice was extremely loud; his eyes were opened as widely as he could
with his anger almost overwhelming him.
Reluctant though she was, but under the presser of Qilong, she finally
knelt down in front of Jenny.
At this moment, she has already cried with tears on her face.
Seeing that Andy didn’t have any reaction, he became relieved then and
said to Qin at once, “Now that Ms. Xia has forgiven you, let’s go home
now.”
After their leaving, Jenny came up to Andy with her legs still quaking for
fear and rebuked Andy angrily, “Andy Wu, Did you know what you were
119
doing? You almost took me to death!” said Jenny in a voice of crying.
She was really freaked to death!
His worlds completely provoked Guilan who was just standing beside
them. She shouted at Andy,” You such an idiot, do you know who Mr.
Sun is? How could you make such an over-claim to his wife? If he
harbored resentment, I will beat you dead!”
At this time, the rest of the family members awoke from astonishment
but still felt fearful for what has just happened. Hearing what Guilan said,
they poured all their anger on Andy and cursed him one after another.
But he didn’t care about it at all, and kept helping himself to the
delicious cuisine on the table.
When the public was in a mess, the old lady if Xia family began to speak.
“All right. Please be seated.”
People present including Jenny, were all shut up and went back quickly
to their seats.
The old lady looked at Jenny. “Don’t take Andy here the next time we get
together for family dinner!” said she harshly.
Jenny nodded her head gently. “OK,” replied she. In the previous family
dinner, Andy scorned Bill and contradicted the old lady. He did even
worse this time that he almost went to the hell by ordering Qilong. She
120
didn’t know for sure what he would do next time. Even though what he
did was to protect her, she didn’t want to set him in risk any more.
Bill was standing beside Jenny and couldn’t help scolding her, “I’ve told
you before that, silly as Andy was, he was not qualified to eat at the
table. But you didn’t take my advice. But for our profound family
strength that scared Qilong, you would have stirred up a big trouble to
your family.”
After finishing his words, Bill turned around and asked the old lady,
“Grandma, is grandpa familiar with Mr. Feng? Why is he so obedient to
your words?”
The old lady thought for a while and answered, “In fact, your grandpa
and Mr. Feng are just acquaintances who had dined together for one or
two times. The reason why I talked about him was to remind Mr. Sun to
give us some respect. But to my surprise, Mr. Sun should have placed
righteousness above family loyalty for the sake of our family, which is
really beyond my expectation.”
The old lady stared at Bill and scorned him, “keep it down lest others
should know about this.” In fact, the old lady was also afraid the severe
result once it was known by Shengli Feng.
121
“Mr. Feng is here,” a voice rang up at this moment outside the banquet
hall.
On hearing the name of Boss Feng, the people who had been trembling
with fear were almost scared to death.
What they could see was the Boss Shengli Feng walking in with big
strides, looking dignified.
Boss Feng, whose name was known far and wide to the whole city, was a
representative figure in the Westplain city underworld and was
absolutely a terrifying existence.
A man like him always had something on him that other people couldn’t
match. The atmosphere in the hall immediately got depressive the
moment he walked in.
The Old Lady was quite a somebody with courage and boldness, but
even so, she still got a little panic when she saw Boss Feng walking in.
She stood up to welcome him and slightly bent over and asked nicely,
“Boss Feng, what good wind brought you here?”
122
The Old Lady was way much older than Boss Feng, but she didn’t pride
herself on her seniority, instead, she became rather cautious and was
quite respectful in front of him. There’s no way to change it, because of
Boss Feng’s reputation and position, a second class family like the Xia
Family was almost nothing compared to the Feng’s Family.
On seeing The Old Lady, Boss Feng squeezed a smile and said, “I heard
the Xia Family is having a family reunion here so I came to have a look.”
He looked so sweet and kind and so was his tone.
However, for The Old Lady, it wasn’t the case at all. She felt nervous and
scared because of a guilty conscience, as she was using Boss Feng’s
name when she called bluff earlier. She was afraid that he had come to
get even. Looking at Boss Feng, she said cautiously, “It’s very kind of
you.”
Still smiling, Boss Feng said, “I heard someone was trying to cause
trouble here as I failed to fulfill my duty. To show my deepest sincerity,
this meal shall be free of charge and I’d like to offer my best liquors in
the house to everyone here as an apology.”
He was only being polite. Actually the reason why he did it was that he
was afraid that Andy would hold grudges and get revenge, so he came
to show his kindness first.
More than ten waiters immediately showed up with the top liquors in
hands and served them on the tables.
The Old Lady knew the value of the liquors. They were worth a great deal
of money.
123
Her heart trembled, she said with great surprise in her tone, “Boss Feng,
there’s totally to need for this, as we have already received the best
service here.” Boss Feng claimed that it was for the Xia Family, but The
Old Lady was truly too scared to accept it.
Boss Feng said boldly, “It’s alright, I give it out of respect. Do accept
please. I will excuse myself now as I have business to attend.”
Boss Feng turned around and left at once, leaving the whole Xia Family
standing gazing at each other.
What a day! Unexpected things happened one after another and it was
beyond their ability to handle them. They were still at loss even if Boss
Feng was already out of sight.
The Old Lady was so knowledgeable but at the moment was at her wit’s
end. She sat back by the table, looked at the liquors and felt like it was a
dream.
The Old Lady frowned and sighed with emotion, “I didn’t expect The Old
Man had this ability.”
Soon she laughed with happiness, said with relief, “It’s a good thing after
all, which means our Xia Family didn’t fade away. Let’s just accept Boss
Feng’s kindness and drink!”
On hearing the words from the Old Lady, the people at each table didn’t
hesitate to open the liquors and started to toast.
124
A lot had happened to this celebration party and the atmosphere finally
got back to harmony.
While everything seemed quite alright and everyone was enjoying the
time, Bill suddenly said in a loud voice, “Jenny, at first I thought you got
this big business deal with the Changsheng Group because of your
competence, but who could have expected you got the deal with your
beauty!”
Bill Xia’s words woke up everyone present. It wasn’t until then did
everyone realize that the drama today was caused by Jenny’s unseemly
way of getting the business deal. Beneficial as the deal was to the
company, Jenny did it in a shameful way after all. Everyone immediately
changed their opinions about her.
“Lower your voice, don’t you feel ashamed of speaking it out loud?” The
Old Lady scolded Bill unhappily.
Bill twitched his mouth and replied, “Jenny could have caused big trouble
for our Xia Family if it hadn’t been for Grandpa’s great reputation.”
Seizing this chance to revenge, Bill planned to make a fuss about it since
he was so jealous of Jenny getting the big deal. He was afraid that
grandma would trust and support Jenny again. Now that Jenny had
embarrassed the Xia Family again, grandma must be extremely
disappointed at her.
Jenny was out of unhinged because of what had happened one after
another. She still hadn’t recovered from it, but on hearing Bill’s words,
she soon got back to her normal self and fought back, “I didn’t seduce
anyone. It was Manager Yang who admired my design and asked to
cooperate with me.”
125
Righteous as she might sound, no body would believe her words as she
was considered a nobody in the Xia Family. It sounded as ridiculous as a
fairy tale that Manager Yang should have admired her ability.
So did the Old Lady, who didn’t even take a glance at Jenny. She even
announced to everyone, “the design matter of the project will be taken
full charge of by Bill. As for Jenny, she shall remain in the sales
department.
On hearing the decision, Jenny’s heart sank into the the bottom of the
valley.
She went home after the party, feeling down and unhappy.
What happened today was full of ups and downs like riding a roller
coaster. Neither Boss Feng nor Qilong Su gave her and the Xia Family a
hard time, even that cheap woman Qin Zou knelt down and apologized
to her. Everything seemed alright. But the bad name given to her was
really hard to get rid of.
Her position in the Xia Family dropped back to the original point, and
she could never work as a designer as she wished.
126
“What’s the point of believing me?” Replied Jenny in great anguish.
What Jenny wanted, was the Old Lady’s trust and recognition, the whole
family’s respect and the sense of fulfillment in work. She had pulled
herself together and planned to set sail again bravely in a new
environment. But it seemed she had come back to where she was. The
confidence she had tried hard to build suddenly fell apart.
Jenny spent her whole day doing nothing at home. She was in low spirits.
After dinner, Jenny went back to her bedroom and as she just got on her
bed, her phone rang suddenly.
Julia’s voice came through the wire, “Jenny, today is the day we three
sisters get together. You didn’t forget, did you?”
The three sisters in the Xia Family had been together since they were
little. Even when they grew up they still had this annual reunion party, a
party belonged to the three only, and they had made an appointment
that whoever got a boyfriend should bring him along.
In the first a few years, none of them had a boyfriend, so the party was
purely girls’ fun because there was no comparison among them and
everyone could have a good time.
But ever since both Jenny and Jane got married, the party became a
torture for Jenny.
Being one of the daughters in the Xia Family, Jenny’s husband Andy was
a fool, while Jane’s husband was a hundred times more excellent than
Andy. The party would only embarrass her as they would surely compare.
127
She went there last year, but she wasn’t really in the mood this time, so
she refused without hesitation, “I don’t want to go. You and Jane have a
good time!”
Julia said hurriedly, “Wait, Jenny, you can’t miss the party this time!”
Julia said in a tricky voice, “I have just got a new boyfriend. I want to take
him to the party tonight and he agreed. Oh you won’t refuse, for my
sake, will you?”
Julia had said it long time ago that if she had a boyfriend, she would take
him to meet the two sisters so that they could give her some suggestions
about him. Now that she had found a boyfriend, there’s no decent
reason for Jenny to say no. Being silent for a few seconds, she said,
“Alright, where shall we go?”
As much as Jenny didn’t want to go, she had no choice but to get up and
get herself dressed.
When she was done, she walked out of the bedroom and said to Andy
who was sitting in the living room, “Andy, go out with me later.”
Looking Andy up and down, Jenny couldn’t help complaining, “Why are
you always so casual, don’t you have nice clothes?”
128
She went to the closet and found a brand new suit that had never been
worn before and threw it at Andy and said with hardness in her tone, “Go
get changed!”
Ten minutes later, Andy came out of the bedroom. This man looked so
charming and attractive in the new suit!
Jenny was almost blinded by his charm. Looking at Andy in surprise and
not able to move her eyes away from him, she kept asking her self--Was
this handsome man really her husband?
Jenny could hardly get herself thoughts back. She couldn’t believe she
had been deeply attracted by a fool. Jenny felt so ashamed. She calmed
herself down and said, “Nothing wrong, let’s go!”
The two left home for the Imperial Club in Jenny’s car with Jenny driving.
On the way to the club, Jenny kept telling Andy, “Remember not to do or
say anything stupid. Don’t embarrass me again.” It was a family reunion
and Jenny had been afraid of bring Andy along with her, but it was also
the three sisters’ little party, so she had to bring him with her as
promised.
At ten to eight in the evening, they arrived at the parking lot of the
Imperial Club.
The imperial Club was the top nightclub for entertainment and a lot of
people from the highest social class loved to come here at night. It’s
129
getting really bustle and busy. By the time Jenny and Andy arrived, the
parking lot had already been full of cars.
It took Jenny two minutes to finally find a parking spot and immediately
she drove over there and was ready to park.
Right at the same time, a Lamborghini drove over and headed right for
the same parking spot.
Bang!
The rear part of her Audi hit the body of the Lamborghini.
Both of the cars stopped immediately. A young man with earrings came
out of the Lamborghini, rushed over to Jenny’s car, patted heavily on
Jenny’s window and said in low voice, “Get the hell out!”
130
Andy, sitting in the back seat, immediately turned pitiless and reached
for the door.
Jenny stopped at once and said, "Stay in the car." Andy would only cause
troubles if he went outside, that’s why she stopped him.
After exhorting, Jenny got out of the car and faced Zhe Song directly,
arguing: "What I do just now was parking normally, but it’s you that
don't follow the rules."
"I don't care," Zhe Song said irrationally. He was such a unreasonable
person. "I only saw that you hit my car, compensate me now."
Jenny knew that his background was definitely not simple due to the
expensive car. She dared not butt heads, so she could only be soft and
asked him: "How much?"
Zhe Song spread his hand and said, "Five hundred thousand!"
Zhe Song threatened her and domineeringly said: "It’s a new one, You
can't leave today without giving me money."
"What happened?" Just then, there was a light and floating voice.
Then, a young man looked bookish was making his way towards us.
This young man, named Xinlei Cai, was the top-ranked tycoon of
Westplain City.
131
The Cai family, a first-class great family in West Yuan City, has been
standing for many years and has never declined. And Xinlei Cai, a famous
talented son of the Cai family, had been cultivated with great emphasis
by the Cai family. He was highly capable and versatile. Such a figure was
much powerful than a hedonistic person like Shihao Wang.
Although Zhe Song was a rich second generation, he was just a scum in
front of Xinlei Cai. When he saw him coming, he was shocked and asked,
"Why are you coming, Mr. Cai?"
Xinlei Cai looked at Zhe Song and said plainly, "Obviously you are
robbing someone else's parking space, how can you park like this, hurry
up and get your car out of here." His tone was faint, yet unquestionable.
Zhe Song didn't dare to offend Xinlei Cai and immediately be sounded
abject and eager to please, nodding his head, "Okay, okay." After that, he
immediately got into his Lamborghini and drove off in a flash.
Xinlei Cai has been well-known in Westplain City for a long time. So, she
has known this person already. As a most talent in those days, he is one
of the top ten outstanding youth in Westplain City now. His name has
always been like thunder piercing the ear.
What's more, he was the fantasy man of countless girls of the city. When
the girls of Xia family were still single, they joked that they would marry a
man like him in the future.
132
Jenny thought it was inconceivable that Xinlei suddenly appeared in
front of him alive and helped her out, which made her feel like dreaming.
She slowed down for a while and then said, "Thank you."
"We are family. It’s ok!" Suddenly, Julia Xia came out and took Xinlei's
arm.
Xinlei, the dream lover of so many girls, was taken down by Julia. Did her
dream come true? Jenny can't help gushing out a trace of strange feeling
in the heart. Was it jealous? No, admiration!
Julia smiled smugly and said, "OK, my sister, hurry up and park your car!"
Jenny nodded, got on the car immediately, and reversed into the parking
space.
Then, Jenny got out of the car first, and Andy followed her closely.
Seeing that there was still s person in the car, Xinlei was surprised. He
couldn't help asking her, "Who is he?"
133
Xinlei said in amazement, "You were bullied just now. Why didn't your
husband get off the car to help you?" Absolutely, his subtext was, how
can a husband doesn't stand up for his wife?
At that time, Andy didn't look like a fool with a straight suit and elegant
appearance.
But Julia couldn't help laughing while seeing him. She joked to Jenny
with a smile: "Jenny, have you specially dressed him? Isn't this suit a
waste for him?"
Jenny didn't like Julia to make fun of Andy, so she directly diverted, "let's
get in!"
Julia didn't say anything more. She took Xinlei’s arm and got into the
Imperial Club.
134
When they came to private room 1, Jane Xia and her husband Hong
Zhou have already sat in it. They were shocked to see Julia coming in
with Xinlei Cai.
However, who could know that Julia's boyfriend would be Xinlei? This is
the one of the most famous young men in the whole Westplain city.
When Jane and Hong were in a daze, Julia pointed at them and said to
Xinlei, "This is my cousin Jane Xia and her husband Hong Zhou."
Just after greeting, a voice came from the door of box: "I'm not late, am
I?"
Then, Bill Xia with his new girlfriend Qian Zhu came in.
At the sight of Bill, Jenny's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled. This is the Party
of their three sisters. Why did Julia even call Bill? Jenny was very
depressed and regretted that she had come, but it has already
happened, so she had no choice to leave.
Bill entered into the box and looked at Xinlei. At once, he quickly
approached to Xinlei as if there was a gust of wind under his feet. He
took Xinlei's hands and said excitedly, "Hello, Mr. Cai, I'm Julia's brother,
Bill!"
135
Bill said the word “brother”very loudly in order to reflect his different
status.
After being polite with Xinlei, Bill suddenly glanced at Andy. His eyes
were full of disgust. He said to Jenny rudely, "Jenny, how can you bring
this fool out again? Are you not afraid of being disgraced?"
Julia replied, "It’s me that asked him to come. This was the agreement
between our sisters." When she said this, Julia couldn't help showing a
conspiracy to succeed.
Bill understood, also did not say anything, he took girlfriend directly sat
on the sofa.
When all the people arrived, Xinlei waved to the waiter and said, "Please
bring me the best dishes and the best wine."
Xinlei was a regular guest in this club. The waiter didn't ask more
questions. He immediately nodded: "OK, Mr. Cai."
Xinlei just met everyone, but his status was noble and he naturally
became the leader of the whole.
136
Xinlei, a man with no airs, treated everyone politely. Seeing Andy sitting
in the corner without talking, he could not help asking, "Do you want to
come and have a drink?"
Hearing this, Bill hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't let him drink such a
good wine. It's a waste to give it to him. He's a fool robbing a dog for
bone!"
Bill sneered, "Of course yes, he was a famous fool in Westplain City. He
washed his face with toilet water, picked up garbage, brushed his shoes
with toothbrush, and picked leaves outside to eat. Anyway,"
Hearing this, Bill's girlfriend Qian was surprised: "Oh my god. Was it
really true that such people could live in the world.? “
Julia added with a smile: "My brother-in-law was not an ordinary person.
He will take a bath in the water fountain in the community. He was
formidable."
Several people in the box thought Andy as a joke, and the topic was
endless.
Jenny was very sad, which just like there were countless flies buzzing in
her ears. She hated people's endless mocking of Andy. She didn't like
that others didn't treat her husband as a normal person, and no one
cared about her feelings. It was a mistake that she came here today.
Who can she tell about her pain? The sisters who used to be close to
each other have changed. Jane found a rich husband and looked down
137
on her. And Julia brought a boyfriend like Mr. Cai today and felt superior
to ordinary people. She couldn't describe how she felt.
Bill said with a smile, "It doesn’t work. My family has also found many
doctors for him. It's useless. He's only well-behaved when being in a
mental hospital."
Xinlei knew that it’s the time to stop, so he took the initiative to change
the topic and talked about other things.
The atmosphere warmed up again, and everyone talked with each other
happily. However, Jenny and Jane didn't say anything. After all, both of
them are inferior to Julia.
Bill and Julia are the most active at the table. They were just like giving a
two-men comic show. They sang in chorus with each other and preened
themselves. It looked like they had good fun.
In the middle of the party, Julia drank a little wine and was very excited.
Taking advantage of the excitement, she suddenly said to Xinlei, "Xinlei,
didn't you say that you prepared a present for me today? Don’t you want
to take it out and let me have a look? "
138
Julia said loudly on purpose, because she knew that what Xinlei had
prepared for her would not be bad. She just wanted to take this
opportunity to show off and let the two sisters be jealous.
The purpose of Julia choosing today to get together was to show off her
boyfriend.
Then he called the driver and asked him to bring the present.
Before too long, Xinlei's driver brought a long gift box. The gift box is
high-end and exquisite. Obviously, the gift in it must be extremely
valuable.
With the attention and expectation of everyone, Xinlei slowly opened the
gift box.
"I heard that you like master Andrew’s painting. This is the picture of
tiger out of cage that my family has kept for many years. Now I want to
send it to you."Xinlei said while opening the picture.
When the picture of the supernatural tiger came out, Julia was shocked.
There have been many famous people in the painting circle, but there is
only one favorite of Julia, that is Andrew.
139
It can be said that Andrew is the most famous contemporary painter. But
his paintings are extremely rare, each one of them can be called a
peerless masterpiece and touted sky-high price.
Julia have not expected that she could get a real painting of Andrew in
her lifetime. All of a sudden, her eyes were moist.
Everyone else in the box was surprised. No one in the room knew what it
meant to be a painting of Andrew. It was a rare treasure. No one
expected that Xinlei would be so generous.
At first Andy was sitting in the corner, after seeing this painting, there's
something different in his eyes.
Because this painting was created by him and the bottom of the painting
was his autograph.
He was efficient in both brainy and brawny activities and he had learnt a
variety of things. He was also sophisticated in lyre-playing, chess,
calligraphy and painting.
Take painting for example, he was the unbelievable kind. He could excel
his master and the teacher who taught him resigned two months later.
140
Of course to Andy, painting was just a spur of the moment. He lost
interest and quit painting soon after he got a good grasp of it.
That’s why few as his paintings were, they arouse wide attention in the
painting and calligraphy field.
“Do you like it, Julia?” Seeing Julia being quiet, Xinlei Cai asked.
Tears of surprise and excitement came out of her eyes, Julia nodded
hard, “Yes, I like it very much! Thank you for giving me such a valuable
gift.”
Hong Zhou next to them also couldn’t help praising, Andrew’s paintings
are so rare and valuable and this painting Tiger Unleashed may be worth
millions of dollars. Young Master Cai is really generous!”
“Things that can be bought with money are all cheap.” Xinlei Cai said
blandly.
This was a real man, a true generous man with great taste.
As they were talking, Jenny and Jane did nothing but to look at them by
the side.
“It’s a fake.” Suddenly, Andy, the invisible man who had been ignored by
them this whole time started to talk again.
Even Andy himself didn’t know his painting got so valuable, as well as his
casual signature. However, the one in front of his eyes was not a real one
though it was carefully imitated. At first sight, he almost mistook it as his
141
own painting, but after looking at it for a few more times, he found out
the fake only got the appearance but could never got the soul.
The real Tiger Unleashed was so alive as if a tiger that had been caged
for hundreds of years about to break out. Only this kind of
aggressiveness was the hardest part to imitate.
Andy chose to expose Xinlei Cai exactly because he hated to see Cai’s
way of doing things. Andy considered him as polite in the appearance
but full of tricks inside. That was exactly the type of man he despised.
“Andrew is my idle and I have studied his paintings for many years. I say
this is a real painting then it surely is a real painting. Who are you to say
it’s a fake one?” Julia was the first one to defend against him.
The reason why Julia was so excited was that she truly believed it’s a real
painting, and that Andy had humiliated her idle as well as Xinlei Cai by
saying so.
“Hey you fool, are you crazy again? Don’t think I’ll punch you?” Bill Xia
had already considered Andy’s presence being annoying. Now that he’s
saying crazy words again, it made Bill really angry.
142
Looking back directly into Xinlei’s eyes, Andy fought back firmly,
“Because I was the person who painted the Tiger Unleashed, so I am
positive that yours is fake.”
But it made other laugh really hard. Andrew was a great painter while
Andy Wu was a complete fool. Who could have believed it when the fool
claimed himself to be a genius?
Even Xinlei couldn’t help laughing, “Hah-Hah, I didn’t believe you are a
fool, but now I do!”
Andy didn’t care about how these people mocked him, but Jenny did.
Her face was burning hot. She knew it, that Andy would only cause
trouble once he started to talk. She had told him a thousand times not to
say anything stupid but he still did to embarrass her. Being a ridiculous
fool inside the family should be enough but now in front of strangers?
Jenny couldn’t take it any more but to walk directly to Andy and said
with extreme anger, “Would you have died if you had kept your mouth
shut? Why do you always embarrass me and torture me like this? Did I
owe you anything the last lifetime?”
Jenny acted out all the complaints and anger. She felt so depressed
tonight that Julia had found such a good boyfriend while she herself
married a fool. It would be alright if he had kept his mouth shut but he
just couldn’t. As soon as he talked people would know he was a
complete fool. It really drove her crazy.
143
“You shut up!” Jenny stopped him, without waiting for him to finish.
“Jenny, is this the husband you have been refusing to divorce? How big
of him! He can paint! Please do paint one for me when you have time!”
Bill started to mock him.
“I want one too! I like Andrew too! Please paint one for me as well.” Qian
Zhu said and mocked along.
Even Jane who had been quiet also mocked Andy, “I heard you can’t
even write! How can you say you can paint? Are you out of your mind?”
Julia said unwillingly, “Let’s not talk about him! What a bummer!”
Having received such a great present, Julia was in great joy and
excitement. She had intended to show off but couldn’t have expected
that Andy came to ruin her mood, which really upset her.
“Don’t get mad baby. Just tell me what whatever you like next time and
I’ll bring it to you.” Words like this might sound ridiculous if said by
others, but sound natural by Xinlei Cai.
What he said did put a big smile on Julia’s face. She said softly to him,
“Thank you, honey.”
Today’s party was indeed for Julia and Xinlei. They were the stars.
All the others were nothing but supporting roles. What’s different was
that Bill was being an active supporting role by speaking highly of Xinlei
the whole time while speaking ill of Andy at the same time. He really
enjoyed the part he’s playing in.
144
The whole party gave the best credit to Julia and made her shiny while it
made Jane a plain and insignificant woman, and Jenny, low to the dirt.
“Waiter, bill please.” Xinlei called the waiter at the end of the party.
The waiter came with the bill in hand, “Three hundred and thirty six
thousand, sir.”
But Xinlei didn’t seem to mind it at all. He was born into the rich Cai
Family, such small amount of money certainly was a piece of cake for
him.
It was a Platinum Card from the Jiangdong bank. Anyone who wanted to
get this card had to deposit no less than ten million dollars, and also
needed to ensure the high ability and frequency of buying, otherwise the
Platinum privilege would be canceled. Thus, not every rich man was
qualified to own this card, which was not hard to know.
Xinlei surely didn’t forget to show off by swinging the card around
before swiping it.
Right at this moment, Julia stopped him and said, “This is a family party,
and we all Go Dutch, which means you only need to pay ninety
thousand.
145
Xinlei said, “It’s not a big deal, I was the one who suggested this place so
just let me pay.” He just wanted to show how rich and generous he was.
Julia said in a charming manner, “It’s our family rule and please don’t
break it. Besides everyone has money.”
Julia certainly knew Xinlei wouldn’t care about this small amount of
money, but it’s her man’s money, she didn’t want it spent on Jenny and
Jane. Women’s little tricks.
Since Julia said so, Xinlei didn’t want to be taken advantage of, so he
said, “Alright.” He paid ninety thousand dollars.
Jane and Hong Zhou had a good financial condition too since Hong
Zhou’s business had been running quite well so it wasn’t a big deal for
him, either. Besides he got the chance to know Xinlei today, ninety
thousand dollars was definitely worth it. So he immediately paid for it
without hesitation.
From the moment she heard the number three hundred and thirty six
thousand, she began to look unpleasant. How could she accept the fact
that she came here but got humiliated, let alone she needed to pay
ninety thousand!
Ninety thousand was even more than what she was worth!
Jenny had been spending a lot these years, since her mother was jobless
and addicted to gambling while Andy was also consuming her at home,
not to mention he got admitted to the hospital every now and then.
146
Everything was in no way small money. Jenny had to support the family
on her own and could hardly make both ends meet. Twenty thousand
was all she had got in her card.
Seeing Jenny doing nothing, Bill said, “Jenny, don’t tell me you have no
money, do you?”
Holding her words for a while, jenny finally said with a blushing face, “I
forgot to bring my card.” Her voice was so low for the lack of courage.
“It doesn’t matter, madam, we support Alipay, Wechat pay as well bank
online.” The waitress explained.
Jenny’s face got even redder on hearing this and her lips almost bled as
she kept biting them. She stumbled, “I, I...”
“Let me pay!” Andy stood up from the corner and said calmly.
However, the waiter didn’t know Andy was a fool, so he walked to Andy
immediately and asked politely, "Sir, please swipe the card.”
147
And then Andy began to look for his bank card.
When he was looking for it, he was embarrassed because he realized that
he changed his suit before going out and his black card was still in that
suit's pocket. At this critical moment, he screwed it up.
“Brother-in-law, take out your card quickly. I really want to see you
swiping your card. It must be so cool.” Julia couldn’t help urging with
schadenfreude in the side.
“ Haha, do you have a card? Is there 200 dollars in your card, even if you
have it?” Jane also couldn’t help satirizing Andy.
“Fool, do you know what 90 thousand dollars mean? Even if you work
hard all your life, you would never earn that sum!” Bill was speechless
and more and more dislike him.
“Oh, I can’t stand being with him for just one night. If I should stay with
him for a whole day, I would be despairing definitely. I don’t know why
someone can bear him for 3 years.” Qian Zhu satirized with disgust.
All kinds of malicious words drilled into Jenny’s ears and made her
almost crazy as they had thorns. Just now, when she was in the most
embarrassing time, Andy stood out like a man and went to pay it. At that
moment, Jenny was believing what he said because she longed for the
protection from her husband from the bottom of her heart.
However, life is always cruel. Her husband is a fool and every time he
comes out, he only makes jokes, even troubles.
148
She felt disappointed, extremely disappointed.
Jenny was almost crying out. She shouted furiously to Andy, "If you make
me lose face again, I will send you to the mental hospital!” This time,
Jenny was really angry with Andy.
The waiter was confused. He looked around and asked, "Which of you
are going to pay the bill?”
This time, Julia didn’t stop him. After all, if Jenny was detained here for
being unable to pay the bill, Xia family also would lose face. And, Andy
had said foolish words today, Julia was afraid he would do something
foolish in the private room because of his unstable condition. So she let
Xinlei pay the money.
Watching him swiping the card, Jenny said,"Thank you. I will find a way
to pay you back.” Although she lived a poor life now, Jenny didn’t want
to owe him anything. She must repay the 90 thousand dollars.
Xinlei was generous, "You don’t need to. It’s just little money for me.
Never mind.”
Listening to this, Bill interrupted, "She must repay it because it’s not easy
for you to make money either. How could she get it such easily?”
Xinlei didn’t insist on this and he suggested to Jenny sincerely, "I think
your condition is not bad so how about getting a divorce. I have many
nice friends and any of them will give you a better life after marrying
you.”
149
This was the real thought in his heart that he, as a human, couldn’t watch
a woman as beautiful as a flower was devastated by a fool.
“Ha-ha, you think her husband is a fool but she thinks he is a treasure.
Even my grandma forced her to divorce, she was still reluctant to accept
it!” Bill never lost any chance to laugh at Jenny.
In usual time, Jenny would contradict certainly, but now, she was
speechless and didn’t know how to contradict him.
Jenny drove Andy home and said nothing during the whole ride. She
didn’t blame him, in other words, she did not want to talk.
Hearing the door opened, Guilan got out of the room immediately, who
just had finished playing cards, and said, "Jenny, I have no money now
and can’t buy food tomorrow. Give me some money!”
One got her into trouble, the other just asked for money. Both of whom
were living at Jenny’s home. Jenny was despairing at this.
She took out a bank card from the bag to Guilan and said, "There are 20
thousand dollars in it. You take it and it’s all the money I have. Don’t ask
for money from me again.” After saying this, Jenny went back to her
bedroom.
Then, the sad cry of Jenny came out from the bedroom. She couldn’t
help crying her heart out without endurance.
150
Guilan was surprised, because she knew about Jenny that she hardly
cried like this. During the past 3 years, no matter how many rumors and
humiliations she had suffered from, no matter how heavy the burden was
on her shoulders, she insisted and endured all of them and never burst
into tears. Tonight, she cried like this after going out with Andy, of
course, it must be Andy who made the trouble.
With that thought, Guilan was furious immediately. She took the feather
duster and hit Andy heavily, saying, "It must be you the fool who made
Jenny unhappy! I will beat you, beat you to death!”
Andy bore the hit silently. His calm eyes remain as usual, however, he
expressed out self-accusation and distress for Jenny’s cry.
Mrs. Xia( the old lady) invited important members of the family to hold a
temporary family meeting in the villa.
Julia was young and was not important members of the family, but
because she was the main character today, so she attended the meeting.
“Julia, I heard that you are dating with Xinlei Cai of the Cai family. Is it
true?” The old lady was smiling.
Julia was overjoyed hearing thus, "Of course, it is true. Last night, he
presented me the painting of Andrew!”
Hearing this, the face of the old lady creased with laughter. She praised
Julia, "You are promising as expected and you don’t let me
disappointed.”
151
Being praised by Mrs. Xia, Julia was happy and proud.
At this time, Julia’s father, Xingbang Xia talked to her, "Julia, could you
call your boyfriend to come here? We all want to meet Xinlei Cai.”
Julia’s mother also agreed, "Yes. Julia, just call him to come here.”
As for the rich son-in-law, the couple was too satisfied and they couldn’t
wait to show off Xinglei in front of their family members. Moreover, the
prime reason was that the old lady wanted to meet him and she was
embarrassed to say that, so she let the couple do.
As soon as Julia heard what they said, she answered, "Let me call him
and ask because he is busy, so I don’t know if he is available or not.”
At this moment, Julia was glowing with shining eyes and she said
excitedly with a loud voice to her family, "I’ve already called him and he
said that the first time to meet my parents, he should treat us. He also
said that this noon, he will treat all of my families at Breeze Hotel.”
Breeze Hotel!
It was the most famous hotel in Westplain City. Its position was
unparalleled. It had been known as the paradise of food in the city.
The reason why Breeze Hotel couldn’t be surpassed was because of its
head chef, who inherited the skill from a famous chef family. So he
seemed to have some secret about cooking. The flavor of dishes he
cooked was very special and everyone loved it.
152
Thus, the consumption in Breeze Hotel was very expensive but people
still flooded into it. So if you didn’t make reservations in advance, you
couldn’t have dinner in it even if you were rich.
Usually, it’s hard to find a spare table to have dinner in Breeze Hotel, but
Xinglei could treat all of people in Xia family, which means he could find
more than 10 tables. That was not a simple thing by only using money,
which totally indicated that Xinglei had a huge power in society.
All of the families present were shocked as they had heard what Julia
said.
Even the old lady expressed astonishment, she waited for a moment and
excited commanded, “Be quick, let all the people of Xia family gather at
the villa!”
Soon, the surprising news broke out in the family that XinleiCai of Cai
family would invite Xia family for dinner in Breeze Hotel this noon.
Receiving the news, all the people of Xia family dressed up and went to
gather at the villa.
The more she thought, the more she was angry. So she broke out and
vented her anger on Andy. She gave Andy a dressing down.
153
Jenny didn’t stop her, because she was driven to distraction for last
night, she lost all her face and became exhausted. But today, she needed
to face heavier storm again. She knew, if she came to the party, she
would be talked about badly because her family would surely compare
Xinlei with her fool husband. But she had to go since it’s Mrs. Xia’s
command.
“Let it be!” Jenny walked out the room like to meet death.
Before leaving, Jenny said to Andy,” Stay at home. I will bring your lunch
back.”
Jenny promised Mrs. Xia last time that she would not bring Andy to
family party. She didn’t want to do it either because she also afraid of
him.
Then Jenny went out dejectedly and Guilan followed her, and whispered,
"You don’t need to do that. He won’t die without a meal.”
Andy stood at the door, watching Jenny’s lonely figure. His eyes became
deep.
Until Jenny’s figure disappeared, a sharp light came out from Andy’s eyes
suddenly. He called Changsheng Li,” Be prepared. Today, I will let Xia
family knows that what Jenny’s husband is like!”
154
At 10 A.M, the big villa of the Xia Family
The people of the Xia Family set out in full force and gathered in the big
villa.
With Xinlei Cai (Master Cai) being the host and to be held in the Breeze
Dining, this feast was one in a million and was extremely rare. The people
of the Xia Family were all beautifully and gracefully dressed up, especially
the ladies who were even more attractive and impressive than flowers.
As soon as Jenny and Guilan showed up, they became the focus of the
party.
They neither dressed themselves up elaborately, nor did they look decent
because Jenny’s eyes were red and swollen.
“Guilan, what’s wrong with you two? Don’t you know my son in-law to-
be is going to entertain us? Why do you still look so miserable and
shabby?” It was Julia’s mother Yuzhen Xiong talking.
Guilan was on the edge of breaking down and she was so jealous of
Yuzhen Xiong’s good fortune that when she heard her saying so, she
immediately fought back, “He’s your son in-law to-be, not mine, why
should I dress up? What’s he to me?”
Yuzhen Xiong said angrily, “Xinlei Cai is such a big shot that meeting him
would cost you your whole life’s good fortune. You wouldn’t even put
something nice on, no wonder you have a stupid son in-law.”
“Yea, both of you are dressed as if you were in a funeral. Who do you
want to disgust?”
155
“The Old Lady shouldn’t have informed them of this party. It seems all
they can do is put shame on our Xia Family.”
Apparently, they helped Yuzhen with a purpose. They thought with such
an excellent son in-law, she must blossom with his help in the future,
thus having a good relationship with her now was of great significance.
Guilan was hopelessly outnumbered. Mean had she always been, she
couldn’t even talk back at the moment.
In such noise, out the Old Lady came, holding Julia’s hand.
On arriving the hall, the Old Lady said joyfully, “My grandson in-law
Xinlei Cai is the most favored son in the Cai Family. It’s our Xia Family’s
great honor to be entertained today by him. So I hope everyone could
behave yourself and don’t embarrass the family. Do you all hear me?”
“Come over here, Jenny.” Looking at Jenny, the Old Lady said.
Staring at Jenny, the Old Lady said unhappily, “Look at you Jenny. You
yourself are in good condition. Even if you don’t want the Wang Family,
156
it won’t be difficult for you to find another rich family. Why are you still
in marriage with Andy Wu? What else can he do except putting shame
on our family?”
With a pause, the Old Lady continued, “I shall ask Xinlei Cai to introduce
some single friends of his and if there’s really someone good, you need
to get a divorce with Andy Wu immediately.”
By doing this, the Old Lady was not really think for Jenny’s good, instead,
she had had enough of Andy and was afraid this fool might cause
trouble for the family again.
Jenny had been so exhausted both emotionally and physically. Her mood
had been moving up and down as well. It’s like when you finally saw
some hope, you got desperate again instead, like falling into the hell and
not able to move. She realized that if she planned to spend her whole life
with Andy, she would be in this hell forever. But how could she dump
him again while she was telling him to be together the other day?
Jenny’s heart was about to shatter. She didn’t know what to do, nor did
she know how to answer her grandma.
The Old Lady said coldly, “Don’t make a fuss! Haven’t you seen cars
before?”
157
Following her, the others went out as well.
There were around sixty bright and shiny limos parking on the broad
street outside the villa.
The people of the Xia Family were all blinded by the marvelous limos,
with their mouths and eyes wide open.
It was like a dream to everyone. They couldn’t believe what they saw.
The Old Lady came up and answered, “Yes, and what’s this all about?”
“We’ve got orders to fetch the Xia Family to the Breeze Dining.” The
professional driver answered politely and gracefully.
What he said woke the people who were confused. Everyone got excited
again at once.
“Oh Master Cai it is! How generous of him to have sent a team of limos
to fetch us!”
158
“Master Cai is the right man!”
Even the Old Lady couldn’t help but sighed, “What a gentleman Master
Cai is!”
Especially Julia’s face was glowing with joy. She felt this was the most
glorious moment in her life. She was so proud.
The couple Xingbang Xia and Yuzhen Xiong was too happy to close their
mouths. They felt so honored as the scene was so grand and
tremendous.
“Let’s not waste time. Let’s get in the car and leave.” The Old Lady
ordered and stopped everyone’s discussion.
All the people of the Xia Family acted and jumped in their favorite cars.
The grand team of limousines drove all the way to the Breeze Dining.
It was still not the time for meals but the Breeze Dining was already busy
with a lot of people waiting in line to get a table.
With his reputation and power, Xinlei Cai didn’t have to wait in line of
course, so he walked directly inside after he got out of his car.
“Manager Cheng, I called to reserve fifteen big tables. Are they all set?”
He came to Yong Cheng, manager of the Breeze Dining Hall.
159
Yong Cheng laughed, “You called in person, we surely would arrange
everything well. Don’t worry. The tables are all reserved for you and they
are all lined with each other.” Xinlei Cai was really a big shot to have
been able to reserve fifteen big tables.
Yong Cheng nodded, “Absolutely.” While he was getting the menu, his
phone ran.
As soon as he heard from the phone, his face changed. He said with a
worried look, “Boss, I don’t think it a good idea as we have so many
distinguished guests today.”
But after hearing what the other said said, Yong Cheng immediately got
frustrated, “Alright, I’ll handle it well.”
At once, the quiet and peaceful Breeze Dining Hall became loud and
noisy. Everyone was surprised and shocked and was at a loss. No one
could have thought of being kicked out in Breeze.
It was known that the people who came to dine in Breeze were either
rich or powerful. What kind of embarrassment was it that they were
being escorted out?
160
“Do as I said!” Yong ordered with a serious face.
At once, all the waiters went to the tables and started to do their job.
Most of the customers were cooperative as they were aware of the result
of messing with the boss of the Breeze.
For people like this, Yong had a direct but easy way as he didn’t have
enough time to persuade them one by one. He ordered directly, “Let the
guards in and throw these people all out!”
Xinlei Cai was shocked at the scene and asked, “Manager Cheng, what’’s
this all about? My tables are fine, right?”
Yong replied, “I am so sorry Master Cai, but it’s the big boss’s order that
everyone be cleared out by noon, no matter who or what he is.”
161
Xinlei’s look got serious too. He had planned to show it off by hosting a
party here, not only to show his generosity but also his capability. All the
other restaurants were low class compared to this one. What’s more, to
change what had already been decided on was really a slap on his face.
Staring back at Xinlei, Yong said word by word, “That’s all I can tell you. I
have already given you face. This is the boss’s order. Even your dad must
get out if he were here, not to mention you!”
Finishing his words, Yong shouted directly, “Guards, show Master Cai the
way out!”
The proud Xinlei Cai couldn’t do anything but got escorted out by two
guards.
There were so many people outside of the Breeze. They were the rich
and powerful people who got kicked out, as well as the people who
passed and stopped by.
Soon there were crowds of people in just a short time. Neither one left
because all of them wanted to see which big shot had got this privilege
to clear out the Breeze!
By the entrance of the parking lot stood about ten guards who were
keeping the order.
By the door of the Breeze Dining stood about a hundred waiters and
waitresses. They were ready to welcome the guests. All of them were
standing straight and still on both sides of the door, waiting respectfully.
162
That moment, as everyone could witness, a long line of limousines drove
up slowly.
Finally, the cars were parked in order in the parking lot of the Breeze.
Then all the professional drivers got out of the limos and opened the
door respectfully.
The people of the Xia Family got out of the cars, welcomed by the
drivers.
Xinlei did not like joining in the fun, who used to enjoy being looked up
at by others, unwilling to look up at others here.
Besides, he felt ashamed to stay here any longer. That the dignified
young master Cai was out would be a shame all his life. He could not
tolerate the others' strange looks in front of him.
The most important was that Xinlei had promised to entertain Julia's
family. Since it fell through in Breeze Hotel, he had to find another good
hotel and reserve as soon as possible.
163
Therefore, he drove away quickly after being driven out.
More and more onlookers gathered outside the Breeze Hotel, who burst
out discussing in astonishment when they witnessed the Xia family
getting off a fleet of luxury cars.
"Are they the Xia family? How can they enjoy such luxury treatment?"
"Yeah, they are. Look, she is the old lady of Xia family. Xia family is only a
second family in Westplain City. How did they skyrocket?"
"It's said that Xia Family's three daughters are all very beautiful. Perhaps
they have got a rich son-in-law."
"I know two of them are married. The husband of one is a fool, Andy
Wu."
"It seems that the left one has also married now. What an enviable luck! "
Various discussions floating in the air were earning a great honor for the
Xia family like many colorful flags fluttering.
All the Xia family felt like stepping on the clouds, feeling so proud. The
massive greeting ceremony, the powerful security guards group, the big
crowds of onlookers, the admirable and jealous voices…all these had
raised Xia family to the highest point, who enjoyed the great honor that
they had never dreamed of before. At this moment, their excited moods
were beyond description.
164
Welcomed by the ceremonial guards on both sides, the Xia family
entered the Breeze Hotel proudly.
As soon as they went in, they found it was empty which used to be
overcrowded.
The old lady asked in disbelief, "Has the whole hotel been booked?"
It's unimaginable.
"The prestige we lost three years ago caused by Andy finally returns
today." The old lady couldn't help but signed, feeling relieved and proud.
"Yeah, to my surprise, our Xia family can enjoy such great treatment
today. It is so fantastic!"
"Having lived to a rip age, it's finally our turn to enjoy it! So
comfortable!"
165
Then, all the Xia family began to spare no effort to praise Julia.
As the most shocking protagonist, Julia felt like walking on air and
became stoned because all these were prepared for her by Xinlei and all
the Xia family were beholden to her.
However Julia herself was also very surprised to find that Xinlei would do
it for her to such an amazing point though she knew Xinlei was rich and
loved her. This banquet had indeed given her a pleasant surprise.
"See? Jenny, now you know how important a good husband is. Look,
Julia has brought glory to our family. What about you? It is a great
shame that you left to us!" Bill suddenly mocked Jenny when everyone
was praising Julia.
His words immediately made the others change their focus to take aim
at Jenny.
"Bill is right. We don't expect you to be a credit to our family. But at least
you shouldn't make our family disgraced."
"I can't figure out why are you being with a fool instead of marrying a
more richer man even though Wang family disdains you?"
"Exactly. Since your grandmother has promised your divorce, why did
you refuse? What an idiot!"
At this time, the more proud Julia was, the more embarrassed Jenny was.
166
As a woman, she also admired Julia, whose boyfriend was not only
excellent but also sincere to prepare so many surprises for her. Jenny was
so fond of romance and surprise that she had once longed for
wandering in the happy ocean, which was so far away from her however.
Not only did she have no luck to own such happiness, she also had to
bear the stress and sarcasm, scolded by others ruthlessly every day.
Actually, she could hardly stand such a terrible life any longer.
The scold still kept smashing Jenny. Even though the tears filling up, she
tried hard to fight back.
Guilan sorrowfully said, "You are so excellent. Why didn't you marry a
good man? Why it was Andy Wu! Why can she find such a good man,
not you? Why should I suffer the terrible fate! "
The glory Julia brought to Xia family today made Guilan very jealous. She
had to vent her sadness anyway.
Yong was shocked to see such a wired scene under such a great luck that
the Xia family were quarreling and even someone burst out crying. What
a wired family.
167
To avoid embarrassment, Yong quickly came to rescue, "Ladies and
gentlemen, would you like to sit at the table now? Our chefs are
preparing the emperor banquet for you!"
The dishes of Breeze Hotel were delicious and expensive, while the
emperor banquet contained the most expensive dishes and the best
wine, all of high price.
How costly the emperor banquet with more than ten tables was!
"No. I'll wait for my husband." After a while, Julia said, calling Xinlei
husband instead of his name, because she was proud of him.
"Yeah, how can we start before the protagonist arrives. We'll wait." Bill
glanced over but not found Xinlei. So he echoed.
Therefore, the Xia family all gathered at the gate of the hall on the first
floor, waiting for Xinlei.
After a few minutes, Xinlei did not appeared. Julia felt a little anxious,
who had been looking forward to her boyfriend's brilliant appearance.
168
Another several minutes later, Xinlei still didn't show up. Julia couldn't
wait but said, "I'll call him!" She took out her phone.
However, before she dialed out, the crowds of onlookers outside the
Breeze Hotel burst into uproar.
Xingbang and Yuzhen also went out following their daughter, Julia.
The others stretched out their necks to looked out the gate or through
the glass walls beside wistfully.
They were cool and domineering like the returning brave fighters.
169
"God! It's so luxurious and majestic! I'm going crazy!"
"I would trade 20 years of my life for such a big shot as my husband!"
Under the gaze of all the curious people, a man wearing a luxury Zegna
suit and premium Berutite leather shoes got off the car, whose tie was
also Limited Burberry.
He was brilliant!
He was powerful!
He was Andy!
170
His woman, Jenny, had suffered too much pain and injustice because her
husband was a fool. He could no longer remain indifferent to the
suffering of his wife as he saw it all in his eyes. He couldn't let Jenny
suffer a little bit more, so he proved to the world in a high profile that he,
Jenny Wu, Jenny Xia's husband, was not only not stupid, but also rich
and powerful.
As soon as people saw Andy, who had come down from maybach, they
let out a startled cry: "Who is he? He is so charming!”
"Yeah, he exuded an aura of wealth and power. This guy definitely comes
from a rich family!"
The crowd went crazy for Andy. Andy now had the charming appearance
and wore the designer labels standing on the luxurious stage, which
made him look so extraordinary. He attracted the attention of the whole
audience, making the ten thousand people look up to him in awe.
Although Andy's name shook the Westplain City, and the people of the
Westplain City had basically heard of Andy's name, very few people had
actually seen his face. Even someone who had seen him once or twice
would definitely not associate the top rich young man who was shining
in front of the audience with a fool.
171
However, the Xia family was extremely familiar with Andy. Even if Andy
turned to ash, they would still recognize he. But it was because they
recognized him that they were more shocked than outsiders.
The Xia family couldn't believe that Andy, who was so cool. Was he the
fool Andy they despised the most.
Bill Xia was the first to be shocked, and with a sense of infinite pride, he
purposely rushed to the forefront to greet his brother-in-law Xinlei Cai.
However, He didn't expect the person getting out of the limo to be his
most hated fool, Andy Wu. The dramatic reversal shocked him.
Julia Xia's shock was even greater than Bill Xia's. She was full of surprise
and excitement, waiting for her Prince Charming Xinlei Cai , but in the
end, she waited for the Andy, which was really a great "surprise" for Julia
Xia.
The first time Guilan, who was hiding inside, noticed that Andy, who was
wearing a designer labels outside, suddenly, Guilan trembled and almost
had a heart attack. This 'stylishly dressed' man was her silly son-in-law,
Andy Wu, who had been scolded by her all day?
Guilan couldn't believe it and felt like she was having a daydream herself.
The old lady has lived her whole life in a sophisticated and experienced
manner, and has seen an endless variety of life. But at this moment, she
was also knotted in shock. How could the fool Andy whom she had
always despised and loathed be changed totally as if he had become
another person? The old lady couldn't help but wondered at her old
foggy eyes, a fact that was too hard for her to believe.
172
Of course, the person who was most shocked was Jenny.
Jenny forgot sadness, even forgot to think. This moment, she only had
one feeling, and that was, getting her heart pounding.
The crowd was still crazy, but the Xia family, all of them froze at the spot.
In the midst of all the attention, Andy holding a rose in his hand, strutted
into the Breeze Hotel and walked straight to Jenny.
When he came to Jenny, Andy stopped and handed the large bouquet of
roses in his hand to Jenny, and at the same time said fondly, "From now
on, I will hold up a world for you!"
Though Andy only said few words, it expressed his love for Jenny, to
protect her for the rest of her life and never leave her.
Now, Andy was simply the most perfect man in a woman's view.
173
Jenny's eyes were filled with tear, but they were not tears of sadness, but
tears of happiness.
“There was a man, clad in golden armor and with his feet on a
multicolored cloud, who came to me on an occasion of great attention
and told me that he would give me the whole world.” The romantic
movie plot was actually played out in reality, which made Jenny hard to
believe.
Jenny's heart was constantly racing, every cell in her body was trembling,
and it was really, really hard for her to believe that her silly husband,
Andy Wu, had become such a perfect man.
It was only after a long time that Jenny raised her hand slowly and
accepted the roses handed to her by.
Romantic scenes she never dared to hope for, were now really on.
Jenny was too excited to say anything. She held back tears and lifted the
corners of her mouth, wearing a happy smile.
Having married for three years, Jenny had ever felt happy for the first
time
174
The rest of the Xia family, however, were still in a state of extreme shock
and could not come to themselves for a long time.
Ignoring other people, Andy wrapped his arms around Jenny's waist and
found a best seat, and sat down.
Yong Cheng didn't know Andy, but from the moment he appeared,
showing his unique status. Which made Yong think that he should be the
important guest of having the whole Breeze Hotel.
Julia Xia suddenly ran through the doorway and rushed to Andy,
exclaiming, "Why are you ordering food here when my boyfriend hasn't
come yet?"
Just now, Julia had suffered a great shock. It was so great that she
couldn't even think it for a moment. But having calmed down, she
convinced that there must be something fishy about this.
Although, today's Andy looked liked an emperor. But a fool was a fool,
how could he suddenly be different from before? Julia could believe that
the sun can rise from the west, but she wouldn't believe that the fool
Andy could become a rich person. Moreover, Xinlei told her that he
would invite all of her family members at the Breeze Hotel today at noon.
She thought that “all of her family”, in Xinlei's opinion, included Andy. So
Julia was sure that it was Xinlei who arranged everything. She believes
that her boyfriend was trying to let Wu appear first, and then he makes a
shining appearance himself at the end.
175
Andy didn't raise his eyes to look at Julia, but only answered, "It's none
of my business if he comes or not.”
Once Julia heard this, she became even angrier, cursing at Andy, "My
boyfriend Xinlei is the main character this time, he is the one who invited
our family to dinner here. He did not come, why did you order dinner?"
Julia's voice was so loud that it made all the Xia family members who
were in a state of shock come to themselves and only then did they
realized that the main character today was Xinlei Cai.
In an instant, the Xia family was in an uproar. All of them were once
again united in their hatred and unanimously opened fire on Andy, "Yes,
it is Master Cai that honors our Xia family. We must wait for him to
dinner."
"That's right, Master Cai must have been worried that Andy was too
shabby to lose face of the Xia family, so he used this method to get Andy
to appear. But this fool is ungrateful and want to eat first without waiting
for Master Cai."
the Xia family was stunned by Andy's shining appearance before, but
now they reached a consensus that Andy was a fool, no matter how he
dressed, he was a fool, and that was a fact that could not be changed.
176
"Cai family has not the power to have the whole Breeze Hotel!" Andy
suddenly raised his head and looked straight at the stubborn Xia family
members.
Hearing this, suddenly everyone was frozen. But after a while, all the
people of the Xia family were all burning with anger.
For Xia family, the Cai family, which is at the top of the cloud, is
absolutely not comparable to it. Andy, the fool, despised the Cai family,
which naturally triggered the Xia family anger.
Julia, who had just returned from the outside, rushed to Andy and cursed
in a furious voice, "You really fucking think of yourself as an important
person, the Cai family is the one you stupid person can comment on?"
Even the old lady, Guilan, who had come over to Andy, asked him in a
stern voice, "The Cai family doesn't have the power, do you? Are you
going to tell me that you planned all of this today?"
Hearing the strong speaking voice of the old lady, noisy people quieted
down immediately. They all stared at Andy.
Andy faced all the people and resoundingly said, "Yes, I did!"
Andy replied solemnly and forcefully, but the Xia family did not believe
what he said.
Everyone couldn't help but feel that Andy's illness had returned, so all
sorts of taunts rang out one after another, "Andy, your illness is really
getting worse and worse, did you really think of yourself as a character?"
177
"Yeah, just as a stupid fool, how could you say that?"
"Do you have any idea how much it costs to prepare such big one?"
"It's not just about the money, do you know how much connections and
connects it need?"
"You are a raving lunatic, just get the hell out of here.”
The taunting went on and on. Jenny, who was immersed in happiness, all
of a sudden came back to reality. Her sanity told her that Andy was a
fool and couldn’t have money and power. However, her emotions, again,
made her believe in him because today Andy had indeed given her
endless touches and surprises.
Jenny was expecting something from Andy in her heart, so she asked
Andy seriously,"Andy, is this really all prepared by you? You can't lie to
me.” Andy looked at Jenny and said fondly, "I prepared this for you!"
Jenny's heartbeat, once again, surged. However, the other Xia family
members, still did not believe him, Julia was even more angry. She
slapped the table, and shouted to Andy, "You fool, total nonsense. I will
call Xinlei now, I want you to know, my family Xinei is really capable!"
"Yes, spot this fool's lies!" Others echoed the sentiment in droves.
Then, in front of the Xia family, Julia dialed Xinlei's number. In order to
humiliate Andy and Jenny in public, Julia also deliberately pressed the
hands-free button.
178
As soon as the phone rang, Julia said softly, "Hello, darling, where are
you now?"
"I’m sorry, Breeze Hotel has been chartered. All the seats I booked have
been canceled. Now I'm looking for other restaurants. Don't worry, I'll
send you the address when it's done."
Xinlei's helpless voice clearly came out from Julia's cell phone.
Every member of the Xia family present heard Xinlei's words, without
missing a word. Only every word he uttered was like a resounding slap.
When he finished one sentence, the Xia family only felt that they had
been slapped countless times.
They had to face a reality: the person who chartered the Breeze Hotel
was really not Xinlei.
"Xinlei, you're not kidding, are you? We're all waiting for you in the
Breeze Hotel right now?" Julia was the most shocked. She was by no
means willing to accept the fact that she was almost fooling herself by
asking one more question.
179
Xinlei was shocked when he heard it, he immediately said, "It can't be?
Someone booked the whole Breeze Hotel, so there's no way to get in.
How did you get in?"
It felt like a direct fall from the top of a cloud into a bottomless abyss.
Julia's heart was broken. She felt terrible, and a deep choking feeling ran
through her entire being. How could she have imagined that all of this
was not the surprise Xinlei had prepared for her. Her wonderful princess
dream was completely shattered.
There was silence for a few seconds before Julia cried out with a tearful
voice, “You are not the same person who sent dozens of cars to bring my
family over, are you?"
Hearing this, Xinei was even more shocked, "What? Anyone else picked
you up? What the hell is going on there?"
How shiny she had been before, how desperate she was now.
"Let's put it this way for now!" She said as if she had lost her strength.
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
180
As soon as the phone was hung up, the entire lobby fell into an eerie
silence.
Those Xia family members who had collectively targeted Andy were as
dead as they were right now, not a single sound had been made.
After a long time, only then did someone gradually return to their senses
and let out a puzzled voice, "What's wrong, it's really not that Master Cai
arranged this?"
"It doesn't make sense, who else but Master Cai would care so much
about our Xia family?"
Meeting the gaze of the entire group, Andy spoke solemnly, "What I do
is not to honor you Xia family. I just want you to know that Jenny's
husband, is not a fool. Her husband, is a wonderful person that you all
must look up to!"
Andy's voice was deafening. His aura shook the entire Xia family.
Those who firmly disbelieved Andy couldn't help but start supporting
him.
Especially Jenny, she was extremely happy. Her husband, Andy Wu,
showed an unprecedented manhood, like a hero in the world. This kind
181
of Andy, met all her fantasies about men. Jenny sincerely rejoiced, and at
the same time was moved beyond words.
However, even though the world believed in Andy, Bill Xia couldn't
believe him. He definitely didn't believe that the fool Andy, who ever
gave him fun, was some kind of big shot. He asked in a stern voice, "Even
if this has nothing to do with Master Cai, how can you prove that this is
arranged by you?" Bill hadn’t enjoyed the glory that Xinlei would give
him, so he was already upset. If this matter was still related to Andy, then
he would really be furious.
Andy slowly stood up from his seat, and as he sternly scanned the entire
arena. He said proudly, "Isn't that obvious enough?" Then his hands
swiftly spread out.
He didn't explain anything, just illustrated it with action. If you had eyes,
you could see that he, Andy, was the man of the day.
He wore top-notch expensive clothes and shoes, and showed off his
disdain for the world.
He held a flower in his hand and gave it to Jenny in front of all eyes.
182
All of this was proof enough that he was the one who can dominate
everything.
Only the fact that Andy was a fool was so ingrained in everyone's minds
that the Xia family turned a blind eye to many of the established facts of
what was happening today, and did not want to believe that Andy would
turn into a being they could look up to.
However, the fact that this was before them compelled them to believe.
She had thought that she would be the most beautiful mother-in-law in
Westplain City today, but who knows, all the glory had been taken away
from her by the fool, Andy. Yuzhen did not want to accept this fact. She
did not want to admit that Andy was something rich and powerful. She
would rather think that it was Andy paid for the rent, although she also
did not know how the money came.
The hardcore elements who didn't want to acknowledge the truth were
immediately energized by her words, and they immediately echoed
Yuzhen's words, asking, "That's right, how do you have so much money
when your family is supported by Jenny alone?
"It really doesn't make sense, they all say fools can get lucky, didn't he
win the lottery?"
183
"Winning millions in the lottery has been on the news for a long time.
Besides, how does Andy know to buy a lottery ticket?"
There were all kinds of skepticism. The large lobby of Breeze Hotel was
full of arguments.
Just then, a shriek came out loudly: "Shut up, all of you!"
This was Guilan's roar, and she had almost exerted her life's strength to
roar out this voice.
"You fools, it's all so obvious, and you still won't admit that my son-in-
law is capable? Do you think you can do this today with money? Can the
ordinary wealthy book the whole place? It's something that even Master
Cai couldn't do, but my son-in-law does it, doesn't that say anything?”
Guilan's words were so reasonable that no one can no longer refute her.
After saying that, Guilan was very happy. Before these guys who acted
like snobs looked down on her son-in-law. Now she must win face for
her son-in-law back. She even wanted the world to know that she, Guilan
Huang , was the luckiest mother-in-law.
In fact, Guilan was really too shocked for everything that happened
today. She simply could not imagine his stupid son-in-law was actually
so rich. Even if the truth was even more incredible, Guilan was very
willing to accept it.
184
Seeing that the whole people was speechless, Guilan was even more
confident. Now She felt so proud and elated.
Guilan held his head high and walked to the old lady in front of her, and
said solemnly, "Haven't you ever wondered why the old man let Jenny
marry Andy? You should know that the old man loves Jenny the most. It
is obvious that Andy is not a ordinary person, why do you always force
Jenny and Andy to divorce? You are so stupid!"
After saying the old lady, Guilan walked over to Yuzhen and said
sarcastically, "Your daughter is just dating Master Cai. It is not sure if she
can marry him in the future. Look at you with your nose in the air, how
ridiculous you are. I'm ashamed of you."
Then Guilan came to Julia and criticized her, ''At a young age, you are
just so snobbish and arrogant. Even if you're married to Mr. Cai, do you
have to be so proud? Ask yourself, is Mr. Cai as handsome as my son-in-
law? Why do you despise Little Mo and my son-in-law?"
After critiquing them, her entire being was in a relaxed mood. There was
only one word to describe how she was feeling right now, and that was:
cool.
It was only then that Guilan came close to Andy and said softly to him, "
To be honest, Andy, I already know that you are not an ordinary person. I
used to criticize you and that purpose was to motivate you. I swear, I'm
185
definitely doing it for your own good. These three years I've been doing
laundry and cooking for you. You won't blame me, will you?"
After seeing such mother-in- law, Andy felt uncomfortable. This strange
woman’s face change is faster than the weather change. But she could
teach the stubborn Xia family a lesson, Andy also felt quite happy. So he
whispered back, "I don't blame you."
"My son-in-law, can you tell me exactly how much money you have?"
Guilan didn't care about anything, she just cared about money. Money
was what she liked the most, so she couldn't wait to ask such question.
Jenny replied honestly, "You can't measure my wealth, you can't imagine
how rich I am."
Guilan was stunned. Her heart was racing. Guilan was really proud of
having such a son-in-law. She thought she picked up a treasure, and she
may even smile in her dreams.
"It's immeasurable? what are you bragging about? How much money can
you have? Aren't you the richest man in Westplain City?" Bill was
reluctant to believe that the fool Andy could become rich person,
especially hearing his bragging here, so he couldn't help but retort.
186
Bill’s question also spoke for those people on-site, in the eagerness to
know the answer, the Xia family members turned all attention to Andy
Wu.
No one knew about the property Andy Wu own, not even Wu’s family, it
was a huge secret.
Andy did not bluff, the confident words supported by his incomparable
wealth.
A smile frozen on Guilan Huang’s face. Her strong belief in Andy, her
impressive son-in-law, collapsed with his few words. Huang felt like she
got kicked in the chest, Andy’s gibberish reminded her of the fool she
was familiar with.
She was a little scared that all these wonderful things would end up as a
dream.
On the other side, Bill’s eyes lit up immediately when Andy made the
inappropriate comment, the stupid Andy he had known had come back.
He again got confidence retorted without hesitation,“Ha-ha, you fool, do
you have any idea how many citizens in this city? How rich these local
great families are? The sum of their money is an astronomical figure. You
almost got me, but you gave yourself away by your own words, what a
good show today.”
187
Bill’s families also awoke from Guilan Huang’s big talk, they believed that
Andy’s few words had proved himself stupid, which encouraged them to
attack him in a sarcastic way,“Damn, it was so close, I was almost fooled,
hadn’t even realized that he was bluffing.”
“It appeared that someone else made the arrangement, I don’t think this
fool could have done these.”
They had no reason to retort Andy Wu and had no choice but to take the
unacceptable fact. But now, they’d rather trust on an unknown but not
him.
Jenny Xia was shocked by his nonsense, not to mention others. Just
moments ago, she had still indulged in the fantasy that she married the
most heroic hero, which made her the most fortunate woman in the
world. What about now? The sensible thinking told her that it was
illogical for a fool to turn to a hero, but how did he make it?
There were no reasonable explanations for some details, she got a little
panic and was afraid Andy would turn back to a fool, she pulled his
clothes and said,“Talk nicely.”
Andy took a sweeping glance around and shouted, “Today, let me show
you…”
Boom!
Andy seemed had choked as his voice faded, a severe headache hit him
with no warning, it felt like millions of ants were biting his brain, like a
huge fire burning inside. He was suffering from the pain, the burn and
his outrage.
188
He couldn’t stand it anymore, rushed out like a flying arrow, towards the
fish tank in the lobby, thrown his head inside and immersed his head
completely in the water.
Along with the sound, the lobby suddenly became astir, people couldn’t
help screaming.
“Oh,my God! It’s freaking scary, is this fool getting mad again?”
“This is just terrible, last time he banged the head against the wall, and
now soaking the head in the fish tank, he is indeed capable of anything
crazy.”
The car from mental hospital arrived in 20 minutes, they took Andy away
by force.
The sweeter the dream was, the crueler the reality became. If Jenny had
no expectation on him, she wouldn’t surfer so much.
But damn, Jenny Wu, herself, made the decision to trust Andy, she had
thought that her husband was no more a fool but a flawless man. She
189
had thought of Andy as the greatest happiness in her life, she had a
crush on him, yet, she would have never known that was only an illusion.
Luck never on her side, the reality was right in front of her: Her husband,
Andy Wu, was a fool and braggart who always disgrace himself and
capable of any crazy things.
The giant gap between reality and expectation almost crashed her down.
She looked at the crowd through hollow eyes, showed no emotion, and
dead inside.
“Sorry everyone, it was shameful for Andy acted this way, but this time, I
will not let this fool leave the mental institution and make any trouble
again,” said Guilan Huang.
Her dream of wealth which she had thought so near realization, had
vanished in a flash, she was devastated.
It’s even damn worse, that she had stepped forward to defend Andy
against the Xia Family,her hard words and hurled abuse at them, and
criticism on the older lady made her a great sinner!
Her fear turned into regret,but a word spoken was past recalling. She
had to change her tune and make apologies to the them.
The Xia family members were astonished at the U-turn in her attitude,
but none of them accepted her apologize.
190
Pah!!!
The old lady came up, slapped Guilan Huang in the face, and
scolded,“you are such a failure, I’m old,but my eyes still work well, and
I’m still a good judge of character. Andy Wu is a useless fool, anyone
here could plan this, except him. I have never trusted him. You, instead,
believed he had become a success overnight and showed me disrespect.
It is just as well you are not rich, you would dare to beat me if you were
wealthy enough one day.”
She was furious, flew off the handle this time. Cause Andy’s behaviors
had made them a laughingstock in public. what’s more, Guilan Huang
had the nerve to insult her in front of the whole family, which had
seriously harmed her prestige and dignity. Her anger is inevitable.
Guilan’s legs were trembling, she knelt before the old lady,sobbed in a
choking voice,“I’m sorry, Mrs. Xia, I was being obsessed, said something
wrong, I didn’t mean it that way, please forgive me!”
She seemed humble and pathetic then, yet, no one would show
sympathize for her. Not only had she offended Mrs. Xia,she had also
offended the whole family today.
The families were desperate to vent their anger, they were encouraged
to throw the abuse by seeing her knelt on the ground,“ She is a miser,
turning her back on own flesh and blood for money, even worse, dared
to against Mrs. Xia publicly, what a daredevil.”
“Well, you did think your son-in-law was made of money? Even if he had
become wealthy, still, it would have been improper to betray your
family.”
191
Guilan instantly had been condemned as a flagrant sinner, had to endure
all their harsh words.
Seeing her mother knelt down to the ground and had been scolded,
Jenny got flurried and pulled herself out from the shock, rushed to Mrs.
Xia and begged for mercy,“Grandma, that’s the how my mum is, I’m sure
she meant no harm, please forgive her.”
The old lady stared at Jenny, berated, “You have no standing to ask for
any mercy, you were not able to discipline a fool. look what he has done,
laid us all open to ridicule!”
For the Xias family, today was supposed to be the day of glory and a
good chance to show up their strength in Westplain City, well, the stupid
Andy had messed it up, got on the old lady’s nerves.
“I’m sorry,” Jenny have suffered more than others, but nobody cares, she
held back her tears and apologized to the old lady.
Mrs. Xia couldn’t cool herself down, she would like to teach them a
lesson, while, as all exquisite dishes had been served on the tables, and
the waiters were standing aside, she kept her temper to maintain some
dignity, so, she frowned and said, “Get up, let’s deal with this at home.”
Although until now there was still a mystery, nobody knew who had
arranged this grand event, the event itself stood for the distinguished
identity of the host, Mrs. Xia would certainly not dishonor such a
character. the Xia family should well enjoy the dishes.
When the families heard these words, they split up to get proper seats.
192
Jenny and Guilan pulled a long face, found seats in the corner.
Hardly had they seat down when the old lady gave the words, “ step
aside!” Obviously, Mrs. Xia declined to share the honor with them.
Knowing that she was still mad, Jenny and Guilan got no guts to rebut as
they stepped back.
This mother and daughter stood in the corner, just like pupils got a time-
out, which made the whole family couldn't help gloating and laughing.
“Well, just ignore these buzzkills, let’s enjoy the food!” the old lady then
said.
193
My husband: A Legendary Man - Chapter 26
Putting the House in Order
The usher had shouted the formidable names in a row with a raising
voice.
The seven big shots showed up at the same time, it‘s like the sky above
the Westplain was lit up by them.
Any one of these big shots had sufficient power to hold up half of the
city.
Right now, they gathered together, got in the Breeze hotel, it was such a
spectacular scene!
The Xia family in the lobby, heard the calls of the name which
reverberated like thunder in their ears merely deafening them, all turned
to look at the hotel gate. They had watched them with fascination as
they entered one after another.
194
Last time, Shengli Feng had the dinner at Yuting Hotel as well as the
other five people, they had witnessed the fight between Shengli and
Andy, and got to learn the strength of Andy.
These people were shrewd enough to know the relation with Andy would
surely be beneficial. Sure enough, each one of them had prepared him a
great gift today.
They looked over the crowd, searching for Andy soon after stepped in
the lobby.
However, they did not find the hero today- Andy Wu, that’s confused
them.
Knowing that Andy was absent, Susu Qin, the big boss of Breeze hotel,
leaned her head toward Yong Cheng, the manager at the gate, asked,
“Where is Mr. Wu?”
Jianye Yang stood beside Susu Qin, cut in, “The one came by Maybach,
he was the last arrival.”
Yong Cheng listened and understood, then explained in hurry, “It seems
he was traumatized somehow and has been taken to the mental
hospital.”
195
Upon hearing this, the color drained from their seven faces, it was
completely beyond their expectation, they had come all the way here to
enhance him, also regard this as a chance of impression. None of them
had expected the ‘hero’ would be hospitalized to a mental institution.
“Things have changed, let’s go to the hospital find out what happened,”
Jianye said, frowning.
The others showed agreement that finding Andy Wu was the top priority.
But it would be disrespectful to leave the Xia family behind simply like
this. Although they were merely a second-rate family, a powerful son-in-
law as Andy had raised the tone of this household, people would
certainly choose to be civil to such a family.
Susu then walked forward and spoke to the Xia family, “Please enjoy the
dinner, it’s our honor to serve you!”
Susu Qin was the owner of Breeze hotel and the most powerful woman
in Westplain,her capability was self-evident by the prosperous and the
status of her business. Thanks to her social connections with both
government and underworld, merely people in this city dared to piss this
female off.
Seen them talked with Yong Cheng at the gate, the family got nervous
about their intention, well, as Susu approaching, the tension had been
displaced by thrill,they were too excited to say a word.
The old lady was the first one got her head around, she rose swiftly,
replied to Susu, “Ms. Qin, that’s very kind of you!”
Jianye Yang, Shengli Feng and the rest of them also went for a greeting.
196
Mrs. Xia and the other family members all felt flattered, she smiled with
her eyes squinted as a response to the regards from these big shots.
The old lady had a pause and then said, “I see, I know what is going on
here, it was related to my husband. Last time Mr. Feng saved our face at
Yuting hotel, and then, they all came and paid a warm visit today, they
have prepared this surprising event to show they respect to our family,
thus it can be seen that the old man was remarkable in this connections.”
Her voice sounded firm as the words flew from her parted lips.
It was beyond her comprehension earlier who could offer the family such
extraordinary treatment and brought the honor to their forebears.
Then, she had figured it out upon Mr. Feng’s appearing, that the credit
all belonged to her old man.
She now understood that the Changsheng group cooperated with the
Xia family must also for the sake of the old man!
Interlaced with her words with the behaviors of these big shots, the
family members came to understand that the treatment they had
enjoyed was due to the remaining influence of the old man. They made
this family look good, took this as a great gift, it was also out of their
respect to him.
197
They were in for a treat to have this imperial feast.
Back from the Breeze hotel, all family members convened here. The old
lady sat at the head of the table in perfect profile, in front of the whole
family, to judge Guilan Huang and Jenny Xia.
The old lady had never really liked they two, In her mind, her son, the
husband of Guilan, died because of Guilan, as she was fated to be a
widow. And then, Jenny Xia, daughter of Guilan, married a fool who had
disturbed the peace of the family and damaged their reputation.
As the Xia family was about to revival, it’s time to get rid of these two
stumbling blocks.
After a discussion with the elders in the family, the old lady made the
decision, “Here I announce, since today Jenny Xia and Guilan Huang are
no more our family member, and Jenny has to leave Anjule, and never
back to the company again.”
198
expelled with mum and kicked out the company by her grandma, she
couldn’t take it anymore.
She looked at the old lady with tears in the eyes,said earnestly,
“Grandma, it’s too much.”
“Mrs. Xia, I was wrong, well I still don’t deserve this,” Guilan was shocked
as if she was stroke by lightning, shrieked out her grievance.
The old lady remained calm, said, “It’s an order, the die is cast, just
leave.” She had long wanted to expel these ‘banes’, thanks to Guilan had
given offense to the whole family and created a probable cause to kick
them out once for all.
“One rotten apple could ruin a whole barrel of apples, just get out of
here, your stay will contribute nothing but humiliation to our family.”
“Just go live your life with the fool and stop dragging us into troubles.”
All the rest of the family members chorused their agreement. They had
become the hardhearted expeller at this very moment.
It ripped Jenny up inside, the tears she had long held rush out of her
eyes eventually, she cried to beg, “Grandma, please, please don’t do this
to me.”
She had been cornered by life, the family was the only one she could rely
on, the brutal betrayal was the last thing she wanted.
The old lady turned a blind eye to her tears, said straightforwardly, and
coldly, “Out!”
199
One word only, cold and loud,ruined Jenny’s last hope, her body and
expression on her face were frozen, only tears dropped down from the
eyes. The blood and family relationship all dissolved into implacability,
she felt nothing warm inside except a dead heart.
Dried her eyes, Jenny said to Guilan, “It’s time to go.” And then turned
away, left a despairing and sorrowful back.
Guilan walked beside Jenny, tramped outwards, every step she took was
difficult. At this point, the hatred filled her bosom, the hatred for the
cruel family, and for the stupid Andy, who hurt her daughter Jenny, made
her against the whole family and also got Jenny expelled.
Carried a millstone on their heart, this mother and daughter went silently
under the cold eyes of the whole family.
“You still owe ninety thousand dollars to Julia’s Boyfriend, as you are
leaving the family, it time to pay him back, right?” Bill hated Andy, was
also unhappy with Jenny, he was longing for them to be miserable.
Many show their love in times of trouble, to light up the hope for people
in despair. But this was not the case on Jenny, here in this family had no
one stood at her side to defend her or make her stay, the families here
were all despicable person like Bill to add insult to her injury.
She had come around, and her heart sank into the ice,hopeless and
desperate. She took out the car keys from the bag, said indifferently, “my
200
car is worth at least a hundred grand, take it.” Then, she threw the keys
to Bill and left.
Outside the villa, Guilan asked Jenny in an anguished voice, “Jennie, how
could you give the car to Bill? how can we do without the car?”
Jenny didn’t feel like talking, just answered a few words, “Take a taxi and
go home, I will go for a walk alone.”
And then quickened her pace to leave without waiting for a reply.
In the beginning, she walked fast and far, which drained all her energy,
then she slowed her pace down, walk slowly and aimlessly, like a ghost,
wandering around the streets of Westplain.
The hurly-burly city and shining sun didn’t spare a single ray of warmth
upon Jenny, she lived in a big and cold world.
As the sun went down, the day wore away and the night drew on, Jenny
had walked a whole day in the high heels, her blistered feet still couldn’t
stop her, only in this endless hike could she feel alive.
“God, why are you treating me like this?” Jenny shouted inside.
She was walking on a quiet alley by the time, a minivan was rolling
forward, and stopped by Jenny unexpectedly. Before Jenny could take
201
any action, the door was opened, two people rushed off the van,
knocked her out and dragged her into the van.
Jenny was awake from the faint, slowly opened her eyes, and found
herself laid on a big bed and took a while to recall the scene that
somebody had knocked her out.
Then she got her guard up and sat up sharply, the bedroom door
opened at this moment, Shihao Wang strode in.
“I’ve heard you have been expelled from the Xia family?” Shihao stared at
Jenny,savoring the words.
Jenny had a horrible impression of him for things he had done, the
kidnap made it worse. She was trembling with anger,yelled at Shihao
indignantly, “I’ll never be with you even I’m homeless, just drop it!”
Shihao’s lips curled into a sneer, “Nobody wants you, I lied, I have no
intention to marry you, and why would I marry a married woman, my
purpose is simple and pure, to get your laid.” His evil nature was revealed
at this moment.
Hearing this, her heart quivered, she looked at the hungry wolf-like man
in front her, then she said, terrified, “what you want to do?”
Shihao pulled his belt out, garbed in the hand, yelled at Jenny fiercely,
“Take your clothes off!”
202
My husband: A Legendary Man - Chapter 27
The Loud Growls
At this moment, Shihao Wang had become evil like a demon.
Jenny had suffered enough today, and she was already in the most
desperate situation of her life. Little did she know that she was in trouble
again now. Such Shihao Wang was too terrifying for her. Her body was
shaking and she curled up at the head of the bed and begged to Shihao,
"please let me go."
Mr. Wang kept this hatred in mind. However, he knew that Andy was
good at fighting, so he didn't think of seeking revenge on Andy first. He
regarded it as a comfort to take revenge on Jenny first.
"Help!" Jenny really did not know what to do. She knew she couldn't
convince Shihao. She was really afraid that he would do something bad
to her. She was too helpless and frightened to do anything but let out a
desperate cry for help.
203
Mr. Wang wasn't worried that her cries for help would attract the
attention of others, he said, "Go ahead and call, this is my villa in the
countryside. There is no one around, no one can hear you."
This villa, which Mr. Wang bought for himself, is used for the purpose of
having an affair, and even if he got married later, he can fool around with
different women here.
"Get your clothes off in a hurry." Shihao's patience had run out, and he
swung the belt in his hand hard as he threatened at Jenny.
“No, stay away from me," Jenny curled up at the bed, clutching his knees
and choking.
Pop!
Mr. Wang threw his belt heavily on the ground, which let out a sharp
crisp sound. Then he shouted and threatened at Jenny, "I'm not a person
that can pity a woman, you better take off your clothes and don't let me
treat you rudely!"
Jenny's face was white with fear. She was so scared and frightened. Her
lips kept trembling. She wanted to say something, but her voice was so
dry that she couldn't make a sound.
"Since you don't know any better, then don't blame me for being rude."
Shihao quickly rushed to Jenny, raised his belt and was about to whip
her.
204
Mr. Wang frowned and impatiently took out his cell phone and was
about to hang up when he saw that the caller was his father,
Zhengcheng Wang. He could only walk aside unhappily and picked up
the phone, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Immediately, his father fiery roar came, "Did you catch Jenny Xia?"
Shihao's ears were hurt by the sound over the phone. He could feel his
father's endless rage even through the phone. Today, he did the thing
secretly. However, the person sent to capture Jenny was from the family.
It was obvious that someone had let it slip and passed it on to his father.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Shihao could only honestly say,"Yes."
Shihao reluctantly said, "Why? She's homeless now. Why are you still
minding her business?"
Shihao really didn't understand why his father cared about Jenny Xia.
Previously, his father had warned him not to have desires for Jenny. At
that time, Shihao Wang thought that it was because Jenny Xia was
already married, and that marrying her would tarnish the reputation of
the Wang family, so his father stopped him. He didn't expect that he had
caught Jenny Xia secretly, but his father still wouldn't allow him to have
her. He was so angry but didn’t know the reason.
Zhengcheng Wang was really going to be driven mad by his son. The
reason he cared about Jenny was because last time Changsheng Li asked
him to cancel his marriage proposal to the Xia family on the phone, and
admonished him to never go near Jenny Xia.
205
Zhengcheng naturally has some ability to become the chairman of
Wang's Group. He knew that Jenny Xia must have a background, and he
must not anger her.
But Shihao has kidnapped Jenny Xia, which can make Zhengcheng
furious. He growled angrily at the phone: "Let Jenny Xia go, and you go
home right now. If Jenny Xia was injured, I'll break your leg!"
Shihao was stunned. He knew how powerful his father was, and he also
knew that his father pampered himself. No matter what trouble he made,
his father could always handle it for him. But now that his father was so
worried about Jenny Xia’s safety and had burst out an unprecedented
anger, which made Shihao a little scared.
Although Shihao was bold, but he still didn't dare to disobey his father.
He hung up the phone, then said to Jenny Xia, "You're lucky, I'll let you
go today, but we're not done yet.”
Afterwards, Shihao had someone send Jenny Xia away. And he headed
for home.
Jenny was thrown on a deserted road, although she got rid of Shihao,
but she was still extremely scared, she walked as fast as she could to the
main road, then waved down a taxi.
Jenny sat in the car before she felt relieved. But she wasn’t free of the
feeling of despair and fear. Her body was still shaking. Her face was still
pale. She had almost been raped by Shihao. This fear was really hard to
erase in her heart.
Her body was not violated, but she was traumatized in her mind.
206
Jenny was lost in grief for a long time and she just couldn't bear the pain
of the day. She originally thought she was strong enough to suffer
misery. But it was only then that she realized that she was only a woman,
a very helpless woman, who could ignore her and bully her, but she was
powerless to resist.
All the faith and confidence she once had all shattered.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Jenny returned to her apartment. She paid
the driver the only change she had in her bag, then got out of the car,
dragging her weary body slowly toward home.
When she came to the door of the apartment, Jenny saw her mother
sitting alone in a chair with only some luggage and household items
besides her.
Seeing this, Jenny's heart which had just fallen quite suddenly trembled
again. She couldn't care about being tired and haggard, and immediately
went to her mother and asked anxiously, "Mom, what is going on?"
Her mother raised her head and looked at Jenny. Her voice hoarse as she
said, "The house has been taken back by the Xia family."
Jenny stared in disbelief, "Isn't this the house Dad left for us?"
Guilan said bitterly, "It's your father's house, but your father also
inherited the family. Now that we've been kicked out off the family, this
house we have no right to inherit. So the Xia family has the right to take
it back."
207
After she heard her mother's words, her body shook so violently that she
could hardly stand still. She knew her relations were cold and heartless,
but she did not think they could be so cruel as to take away the only
house in which they were to live.
"Andy has made our family too miserable." Her mother finally couldn't
help it and cried out.
This time, Guilan was really utterly devastated, she was in too much pain.
She hated the culprit Andy even more. If he stood in front of her now,
she would really be angry enough to kill Andy.
"Mom, I'm sorry." Jenny was in great pain. She could endured the torture
that other people brought to her, but now even her mother was tortured.
She knew that all of this did have something to do with Andy, and she
blamed herself for all this.
Her mother choked: "What's the use of apologizing now? I let you
divorce earlier, but you just won't. Now we have nothing, how can we
live in the future?"
She felt that she was the most miserable person in the world, and so
miserable that she had lost confidence in the future. Now she didn't care
about disgrace now, she just wanted to cry.
There were people walking around. When they saw Guilan Huang sitting
here crying, they couldn't help but stop and watch.
Jenny also wanted to cry, but she knew that she could not cry. Her
mother now was like a child and needed her to take care of. As her
mother's only dependence, she had to be strong. So, without delay, she
immediately went to her mother and comforted her mother, "Well, don't
cry. Let's find a hotel and stay there first!"
208
Guilan also knew that they can't really live on the street. She wiped her
eyes, and then carried luggage with Jenny, under the other people's
strange eyes, left the apartment together.
The man walking in front of him had dyed yellow hair and walked with a
dignified manner. Apparently he was a street thug.
This man named San Liu was a famous jerk in this area.
As soon as San Liu came over, he walked towards Guilan and muttered,
"What, you want to run away?"
Jenny didn't know San Liu, but Guilan knew clearly this guy. He was the
one who was responsible for collecting the money owed by the casino.
As soon as Guilan saw him, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, and
immediately panicked. She looked at San Liu in fear and said, "You
misunderstood me. How could I possibly run away. It's just that there are
so many people at my home tonight. I'm going to stay in a hotel with my
daughter!"
San Liu grunted coldly and said, '' You think I don't know? You've been
kicked out by the Xia family, so cut the crap and hurry to pay back."
Guilan said sheepishly, "Not too much." Guilan was a gambler. These two
years she was playing cards and actually lost a lot of money. The money
that Jenny gave he was simply not enough, so she can only borrow
money from others.
209
San Liu deliberately said, ''Oh, a hundred thousand dollars isn't too much
for you? That's fine, pay it back now!"
Guilan was afraid of San Liu. She hastily took out the bank card that
Jenny gave her last night and said, "I only have 20,000 dollars now. The
rest I will pay it back after a while, okay?"
San Liu didn't hesitate to say, ''No way. In the past, I was willing to lend
you money because of the Xia family. But now I've heard that you've
been kicked off by the Xia family and your house has been repossessed.
Do you think you're still qualified to owe money? Just pay me back and
don't make me hit you.”
Guilan now wants to cry but she even couldn't have tears. When people
are unlucky, all kinds of miseries can find him. She looked at San Liu with
a sullen look and said helplessly, "I really only have twenty thousand
dollars left, it's useless for you to hit me."
San Liu's gaze swept to Jenny, grinning, and he said, "I see you can't pay
so much money back now, but your daughter is good-looking. She is
worth some money. If you let your daughter come with me, you will not
need to pay me 100,000 dollars.”
Guilan was stunned when she heard it, she knew clearly what kind of
person San Liu was. This guy did a lot to force girls to become a
prostitute. If Jenny fell into his hands, her life would be ruined.
"Fuck you." San Liu slapped Guilan in the face and she fell to the ground.
210
My husband: A Legendary Man - Chapter 28
Kangtai Psychiatric Hospital
When she saw that her mother was knocked to the ground. Jenny’s heart
twitched and her eyes turned red, she shouted “mother!’’.
As she talked, she dropped the suitcase she was carrying in her hand.
She rushed to Guilan Huang and helped her up from the ground. She
ranted at San Liu “why would you hit a person?’’
Jenny has suffered a lot. Why does she only encounter people who are
like that? Each one of her relatives is heartless and without any mercy.
That jerk Shihao Wang took advantage of her when she was terminated
from Xia family, kidnapped her and even almost assaulted her. A
hooligan, San Liu, also took advantage of the problems to loot and bully
the orphans and widows. What is really wrong with this world?
After San Liu heard Jenny’s question, he rudely said, “do I need a reason
to hit someone? I just hit her, what can you do?’’
When Jenny heard this she got chocked on her own breath. She wanted
to contradict him but what could she say? It was obvious that San Liu
was an unreasonable hooligan. He just want to bully the helpless mother
and daughter. If they quelled with him the result would be worse. She
would hate him again. It was reasonable for her to just let it go.
Even Guilan Huang is spiritless She can no longer dare to anger San Liu
or argue with him. Even if she got beaten she would just endure it.
Seeing that the two were not talking. San Liu grabbed Jenny’s hand and
said, “if you don’t pay back the money I will just take her and go.’’ San
211
Liu wasn’t going to go away without getting his money. If Guilan Huang
doesn’t pay him back the money, he will take away Jenny.
Guilan Huang couldn’t dare to delay. She took off the watch from her
wrist and handed it over to San Liu and said, “look at this watch, the
original price was $200, 000. I’ve worn it very few days. It should fetch
the same price I bought it at. I will pay my debt with it.
Guilan Huang loves money as though it was life itself. Even though the
watch came from Shihao Wang, Guilan Huang still regarded it as a
treasure of high value. She worn it everyday to show it off. This time she
had no choice because her daughter was in danger. She had to give up
her watch.
Liu San let go of Jenny and took the watch. The moment he looked at it
he knew it was genuine. he had knowledge of such materials. So he put
away his watch and said to Guilan Huang, “know your blessings.’’
After speaking, San Liu took her with him and left the place.
Seeing those people walking away made her feel a little bit comfortable,
but she held a breath. In fact the feeling couldn’t go away. She still felt
bad.
After a delay, she finally talked to Guilan Huang, “mom, can you stop
playing games’’. Guilan Huang is like a gambler. Jenny had spent a lot of
money but it had nothing to do with this. Right now she has no money
to lose to her mother. She is afraid she might cause trouble again.
212
Jenny looked and the swollen and red face of Guilan Huang. She felt pain
in her heart. She did not want to pursue the lost money. She just said
lightly, “go!’’
Afterwards, the two of them carried the luggage and booked a room at a
nearby hotel for two people.
The condition of the hotel wasn’t very good and Guilan Huang couldn’t
bear it as soon she walked in. She couldn’t help but complain, “can
people live in this dirty place? Jenny, let’s change the hotel.’’
Jenny responded languidly, “if we don’t take this one some other people
will.’’
She hadn’t eaten for a day and she had experience both mental and
physical devastation. She was out of energy, she needed to rest.
The moment she lay on the bed she closed her eyes.
“Jenny, are you feeling cold? Why are you trembling?’’ seeing Jenny
trembling made her very anxious. She started touching his forehead. “I’m
afraid.’’Jenny cried in response.
She has always been a strong woman but what happened today
defeated her.
213
The higher where you stand, the harder the fall will be. Today, Jenny,
who believed Andy Wu, was held to a higher standard. Letting her
experience the feeling of a happy woman.
But it is exactly like that. When her mind returns to reality she will feel
broken. She was very disappointed with Andy Wu.
After losing everything, Shihao also kidnapped and humiliated her. She
went around asking for her money back.
“Don’t be afraid, mother will protect you.’’ She lied to her. But at that
moment she realized her daughter felt down. She had to comfort her.
Jenny did not feel good after being comforted because she knew her
mother couldn’t support herself, let alone the whole family.
“Jenny , how about we leave Westplain city?’’ this city has brought great
damage to us. Guilan Huang didn’t want to be here any more. She also
knew that if her daughter stayed there she would experience emotional
trauma. They had to start a new life in another environment.
“Okay.’’
214
Jenny agreed with Guilin Huang’s suggestions. For Jenny Westplain City
had already become a sinister place. Leaving maybe the best option.
The next day, the two packed their luggage and left the hotel.
After what happened yesterday. The whole world is gossiping that the
Xia family has been out shined by the Cai family.
But the Cai family knew that this issue had nothing to do with them. They
didn’t have the patience to help Xia family and others. What I’m saying is,
the Xia family has hidden a huge dragon.
So the Cai family orders Xinlei Cai to have a good relationship with Julia.
Even when they get married the Cai family is going to disagree with it.
Xinlei Cai liked Julia in the beginning and he was overjoyed when his
family consented to it. Yesterday he gave Julia several different gifts. He
gave her a Porsche, that made her feel good.
With a new car, Julia is even more proud. She went out for a drive this
morning.
Jenny is really disappointed with the Cai family. Even though Julia was
always a good sister to Jenny. In reality all the feelings are worthless.
Today’s encounter, not only did she not show any sympathy but she
mocked.
215
Jenny felt very sad. She didn’t want to acknowledge Julia presence and
didn’t talk.
“oh, don’t give me that face, you want to transform yourself from a
stupid person to a baby. You even though Andy Wu is a hidden local
tyrant. Don’t you think you are crazy? In the end you and your mother
should blame yourselves.
When I remember about yesterday. Julia store the limelight. She was
unhappy yesterday because she suffered a major blow. Fortunately Andy
Wu is still a big fool. If Jenny really changed she will probably be angry.
In normal times Julia is arrogant. But she has lost it, now Guilan Huang
has no courage, no thoughts and she was also tired.
She was not in the mood to talk. She just stayed silent.
Julia was swayed. Someone had to cooperate but Guilan Huang’s mother
was silent and dull. In end she said, “I know I have put on a sour face all
day long, you are destined to never make it.’’
After talking Julia started the car and went away. Leaving behind an
exhaust fume that caused Jenny and Guilan Huang’s faces to catch dirt.
Guilan Huang frowned in the direction that Julia went and lamented, “no
human is important than another.’’
Jenny was already in a desperate state after being kicked while she was
already down. Its like digging a hole into her wound but she didn’t really
feel it. She looked at the road in front of her. There was calmness in her
heart.
216
After a moment a taxi came. Jenny stopped it, Guilan Huang moved his
luggage and they sat together in the car.
After getting on the car, Jenny said to the driver, “go to Kangtai
Psychiatric Hospital.’’
When she heard what Jenny said. She was worried and she immediately
shouted at Jenny, “Jenny, do you still want to take that fool with you?’’
Guilan Huang hated Andy Wu. She want to bring this crazy person, she
would rather die.
Guilan Huang was speechless after hearing this. In a dissatisfied tone she
said, “we cant take care of ourselves now. Why do you still care about his
safety? Not to mention we have all these problems and it is all because
of him. Why can’t you let him go?’’
Guilan Huang was angry because of her stupid daughter. She was a very
kind woman. Even if the whole world betrayed her, she would still not
hurt anybody.
Jenny closed and said sadly, “we are a husband and a wife.’’
Jenny did’t agree or disagree, she was just silent. Her face didn't move
like still water.
217
After a half hour the taxi arrived at Kangtai Psychiatric Hospital.
Jenny paid for the taxi and helped Guilan Huang take the luggage off the
taxi. They both immediately walked towards the hospital silently.
As Jenny and Guilan were moving nearer toward the hospital, a guardian
came up to block them, “Our hospital is locked today,” said the guardian
seriously, “and no one is allowed in.”
“We are just following the instruction from our higher manager, without
knowing why,” answered the guardian expressionlessly.
“No way, either,” replied the guardian indifferently. “The hospital has
been thoroughly closed, so you can’t do anything even if you entered it.”
Jenny was completely speechless. What all the fuss was about in such a
mental hospital? Has she been born with bad luck and doomed to meet
hardships everywhere?
218
As Jenny frowned and was about to speak, the security supervisor
approached to warn her severely, “Miss, please do not be hard on us,”
said the security supervisor, putting on a stern face. “To tell you the truth,
a prominent person has arrived in our hospital, so no one is allowed in.
You might as well go back.”
It can be easily judged from his words that the prominent person has a
very unique status that can’t be accessed by anyone.
Jenny had neither the access to the hospital nor anyone to turn to.
“This is what God meant. Didn’t you find that?” Guilan comforted her.
“God wanted you to let go of that idiot. There is no need to care about
him. Let’s go back.”
Was it really the providence? Standing still, Jenny stared at the hospital
in front of her for a while, “Let’s go back,” said she finally, turning around
reluctantly.
After leaving the hospital, the two of them took a taxi directly to the
Westplain railway station.
“It depends on you,” said Jenny with her eyes closed. Wherever to go
made no difference to her as long as she could leave this place.
219
Guilan’s family has a long history in Jiangzhou City; during the past few
years, it has gone through much in ups and downs. The time she got
married, her family was in the worst of its recession, but she finally
reached her most glorious time after marrying into Xia Family in
Westplain City.
She enjoyed a lot being the wife of a well-off man. She became arrogant,
not wanting to keep any relations with her maternal family, so the times
she went back to her parents’ family were quiet limited. Even though she
went back, the only reason for her returning was to show off in front of
their family members.
As time passed by, things turned more and more terrible in her life. She
became a widow after her husband died young; her daughter married an
idiot abruptly; the old man who always backed them up in Xia Family
passed away, leaving the big family into a gradual decline. Due to all
these reasons, Guilan became a housewife from a rich and well-provided
lady, with an idiot as her son-in-law.
As for her maternal family, they have progressed a lot. With obtaining
great luck these years, they have reached the heyday of the family, and
the family now is one of the renowned families in Jiangzhou City!
Things will sure change. When she had lived prosperously, she had
disdained her maternal family; when stuck in bleak life, she felt ashamed
to meet her maternal family again. As a result, she got further and
further away from her family.
However, since she was forced to such hopeless situation, she had no
option but return home.
It was at the noon that two of them arrived at the house of Family
Huang.
220
The house was very old with a comparatively long history. But old as it
was, it was spacious enough, looking solemn and simple. Obviously, the
people who lived here were profound in culture and knowledge.
Standing at the gate of the house, Guilan reorganized her clothes and
knocked at the door.
Soon, the door was opened as a doorman walked out of the house. He
knew about Guilan, and therefore let them in without saying anything.
After walking through the yard, Guilan and Jenny who were carrying
luggage in their hands finally arrived at the main house.
On seeing this woman, Guilan forced a smile and said immediately, “How
are you, sister?”
That fashionable woman was none but her sister-in-law, Ping Luo.
In the past, Guilan looked down upon her. But things were completely
changed as her maternal family became flourishing. Considering her
brother was successful but she was the loser seeking help from her
maternal family, she naturally changed her attitude towards Ping Luo.
However, Ping Luo didn’t appreciate Guilan’s attitude and said coldly to
her, “Don’t call me sister. When did you treat me as your sister?” Having
glancing at the luggage in Guilan’s hands, she sneered at her, saying,
“Why are you bringing so much luggage with you?”
221
Since Ping Luo behaved too aggressively, showing no kindness to her,
Guilan eventually chose to contradict her, “Can’t I live in my parents’
house?” said Guilan angrily.
“No way!” answered Ping Luo indifferently. “When did you consider here
as your home after you married into Xia Family? Only when confronted
with difficult situation did you think of your so called family?”
Ping Luo stopped her at once and said seriously, “You can’t enter the
house; father is meeting with someone important. You can’t disturb
them.”
As they disputed furiously with each other, a strict voice rang out,
“What’s the fuss?”
A group of people walked out of the main house, among who was the
leader, a grey-haired old man. He was Guilan’s father, Pingan Huang.
Seeing Guilan and Jenny, he asked indifferently with his face put on sulk,
“Why are you here?” His tone was alienated and full of repulsion, and he
seemed to have no affection for the daughter and the granddaughter.
Guilan looked at Pingan and said cowardly, “Dad, considering you are
about to be seventy years old, we intentionally come here to offer you
birthday congratulations.
222
“That woman was very arrogant with eyes on the head. She had never
returned her maternal family when leading a rich life. With her life
turning abject and full of hardships, she chose to return home. Who
appreciate such behavior?”
“Her daughter who married an idiot was also a bad woman. They both
looked unlucky.”
“That’s right! Our family became prosperous after her leaving here. But
Xia Family began to go downward after her coming. She is a jinx.”
Hearing such harsh words, Jenny was very uncomfortable and felt
somewhat hard to breathe. She just wanted to get away from this house.
But it was at this moment that a man came into the room. He stared at
Jenny and asked, “What an attractive beauty! What’s your name please?
The man talking was the so called important guest, Jingming Zhang.
223
turnover. In order to overcome such difficulty, they had to seek help
from Jingming.
Pingan has spared all his efforts to invite him home and tried every
means to persuade him into approving the loans. However, the amount
of money he finally got was too limited.
Jingming nodded his head and praised at Jenny, “Very good! Little pussy,
you just came to Jiangzhou City, didn’t you? Will it be ok if I treat you a
meal?” asked Jingming.
Without hesitation, she refused, “Sorry. I’ve had meals,” answered Jenny.
She was not the woman who judged a person from his appearance even
though Jingming was a pot-bellied, middle-aged man with bald head,
but he was indeed a bad guy for he stared at her all the way, which made
Jenny feel extremely awful. She would never eat with that kind of person!
“I don’t want to,” Jenny refused immediately. She seldom came to this
house, and was also unfamiliar with the family here. The only reason she
came here was Guilan’s decision. How could she listen to her grandfather
to dine with that greasy middle-aged man?
224
Pingan was very unsatisfied with Jenny’s reply, “You…” cried he furiously.
While speaking, Jingming patted Pingan gently on the shoulder and then
left.
With the words left by Jingming, Family Huang surely followed his
suggestion and treated Guilan and Jenny “better”.
Seeing the changes in their attitudes, Guilan felt better in the heart.
Although all these were on Jingming’s account, she didn’t care about it.
For her, it’s nothing better than staying here.
Even though they pretended to show hospitality, Jenny could still feel the
obvious change in their attitude. Therefore, she became less hostile to
them.
The atmosphere at table was quiet “warm” and “sweet” with all the family
members toasting each other and smiling happily. Failing to withhold
their enthusiasm, Jenny drank several cups of beer, but soon became
faint with her face flushing .She was never a good drinker.
After dinner, Jenny waved goodbye to other family members and said, “I
got a bit of headache; I’ m going to sleep now.” After saying that, she left
for her bedroom at once, without staying for a while.
“Let me take you there!” said Ping Luo, rising to her feet quickly.
225
Then, she helped Jenny to a wing-room of the house.
The room of the house was not bad. It was furnished with all sorts of
furnishings and its decoration was so classic and sophisticated in which
only distinguished guests could live. The family did treat Jenny
“specially”!
“Good night and have a good rest,” said Ping. After helping Jenny to the
wing-room, she left with the door closed.
The moment she got to the doorway, the door of the toilet was suddenly
opened.
A man in underpants went out of the toilet, with water dripping down
from his body.
226
Jenny was truly terrified. Her eyes were full of panic as she stumbled
backwards while alerting Jingming Zhang , "Why are you here?"
Jingming said in his usual tone, "I've been waiting for you here, seeing
that you haven't come, I took a bath first."
However, when Jenny heard this, she only felt coldness seeping through
her body and a fierce chill seeping behind her back. She frowned tightly
and said squarely to Jingming, "What do you mean?"
Jingming spread his hands and said, ''Isn't it obvious? The truth is that
the Huang family sold you out!"
Jenny couldn't believe what he said, “It’s impossible, you’re lying." After
saying that, she rushed to the door and tried to open it and escaped.
The door of this room couldn’t be opened at all. Jenny realized at once
that there was a lock on the outside of the door.
This time, Jenny's fear deepened, and at the same time, she was
desperate. She really did not expect her grandfather to do such a thing.
Even if animals would care about their children, how could grandpa send
his granddaughter into the mouth of a beast?
227
"I already have a husband, you stay away from me." Even if Jenny didn’t
want to believe, she must admit, the old house, the so-called
grandfather's home, she thought she could temporarily settle down in
the place, now has become a wolf nest that would be a great danger for
her. She was helpless. She could only think of this reason to persuade
Jingming not into doing something bad for her.
Jenny was the type that Jingming liked. So after she left the Huang
family, Jingming secretly contacted Pingan Huang, Jenny's grandfather.
Although Pingan Huang has family ties with Jenny, he doesn't like Jenny.
Besides, he desperately needed to please Jingming, so he didn't reject
Jingming's request to get Jenny. Jingming's appearance on the balcony
tonight was also something that Jingming and the Huang family had
planned in advance.
"If you come near me, I'll kill you!" Jenny was in a state of despair, and
knew that she had no way to escape, but she would not give up
struggling.either. She quickly picked up a table lamp on the table and
threatened at Zhang Jingming.
228
Jingming didn't care about the threat of a girl. He laughed coldly, then
moved closer towards Jenny and said, "If you follow my will, you will
have much wealth in the future, otherwise you will get hurt if you upset
me."
Jingming reached out his hand and tried to take the table lamp in
Jenny's hand.
Bang!
Jenny moved quickly, and without hesitation, she directly took the table
lamp and slammed it down heavily towards where Jingming was balding.
Jingming probably didn't expect that Jenny, who looked gentle, would
be so violent that he really dared to hit him.
Outside, Ping Luo had been guarding the corridor outside the room,
waiting Jingming to finish his thing so he could open the door.
However, after waiting for a few minutes, she heard Jingming's miserable
screams.
If what you hear was Jenny's screams, Ping Luo would not be surprised,
but she heard Jingming's screams, it was really abnormal. Immediately,
Ping ran to the door and listened carefully, and only then was she sure
that Jingming was wailing inside.
Ping didn't wait any longer and hurriedly took out the key and opened
the door.
229
As soon as the door opened, Ping was stunned. She saw that Jingming's
head was broken and bleeding, and he fell to the ground in a very
miserable state.
"Something's wrong here!" Ping ran out of the room and shouted.
Seeing Jingming was injured, the Huang family all scared, especially
Pingan Huang. He was so angry that he could hardly breathe. He
desperately took a few breaths, and then to Jenny loudly scolded: "What
are you doing? Why did you hit someone?"
At this moment, Jenny's eyes were cold and her face was
expressionless.It was the first time that she'd hit someone, but she wasn't
afraid. She was sad and disappointed in them. She looked at her
grandfather and questioned, "I should be the one asking what you are
doing? I'm your own granddaughter. Why are you locking me in the
house? Why did you send me to such an old man?"
At this time, Ping Luo's husband, Ye Huang, Jenny's uncle, came out. He
was angry and said to Jenny, "Do you know who Mr. Zhang is, how dare
you beat him?"

Ye Huang directly slapped Jenny on the face and scolded her angrily,
''Who cares about you? It would be a great honor for Mr. Zhang to rape
you!"
"You just have a good-looking face, what else are you mighty about?"
"It's your luck that Mr. Zhang likes you, why don't you cherish it?"
The Huang family and Jingming Zhang were working together to trap
Jenny. What they have done were worse than a beast, but they weren’t
shamed and thought they were rightful, as if they were the messengers
of justice, and criticized Jenny collectively.
Jenny looked at these hypocritical faces. She saw through the evil of
these people. She was very sad and desperate. She was ashamed to have
such relatives.
Only then did the Huang family came to themselves and they
immediately swarmed to Jingming.
With everyone's attention on Mr. Zhang, Jenny walked out of the room
silently.

Jenny walked over to her mother and said, "Mom, let's go!" This place,
even more terrifying than the Westplain City, Jenny could not stay here
for a moment.
Mrs. Huang sighed and sorrowfully said, "Alas, you shouldn't have hit
Chief Zhang, this time you'll be in big trouble."
Hearing this, Jenny fell silent. She thought she didn't care about anything
anymore. She was desperate, and nothing in this world could make her
more desperate.
But at this moment, her heart still pounded. Her heart ached as if a
million needles were stabbing her. She looked at her mother and said
sadly, "You know about their plan in advance, don’t you?"
The first time she heard it, Ms. Huang immediately revealed a guilty look,
she explained, "It is your grandfather has been begging me, saying that
as long as you sleep with Mr. Zhang one night, he will buy us a big house
in Jiangzhou City, and also give us a good job. In that way, we will be
able to live a wealthy life in the future and won't have to depend on
others.”
After Jenny heard her mother’s words, she couldn’t believe that her
mother who she loved the most in the world and lived together for so
many years would be the one that hurt hurt the most when she was in
the most desperate state.

She cried out and shouted to Mrs Huang, "I hate you!"
Jenny stood at the edge of the rooftop overlooking the entire city of
Jiangzhou.
Her eyes were dry with tears and her heart, too, was completely
desperate.
At the moment, she no longer had any emotions, not even fear. She used
to be very afraid of heights and didn't dare to ride the roller coaster, but
now, standing so high, she was not afraid it at all.
From the time Andy brought her happiness and then made her lose it,
she was doomed to not be happy. She grew further and further away
from luck, and misfortune ensued. She couldn’t suffer any more
misfortune.
However, God was about to destroy her last faith. Her mother betrayed
her.
How ridiculous, how pathetic, that is the reality, the horrible reality.

The world really should no mercy to her. All the people were so cruel to
her. She had no attachment to this world, either.
The darkness which enveloped the entire city also enveloped Jenny's
entire heart.
She stood alone in the boundless darkness of the night, she was so
lonely and helpless..
Jenny closed her eyes. In the extremely silence, the mobile phone rang,
but the sound was close and seemed far away.
Jenny opened her eyes, picked up her phone and looked at the caller on
it: mom.
She stared at the two words for a long time, and finally she murmured,
"Goodbye, mom!"
After finished speaking, Jenny jumped down from the tall building.
