An Adorable Wife and her Boss - C215 Christmas Eve (1)
Today was an annual Christmas Eve, Bai Yang had already hinted at Lu Man many times, but Lu Man was still immersed in her own matters.
“Wife, let’s go out for dinner tonight. Haven’t we met for a long time?” Ever since Bai Yang left the job of a police officer, he had no choice but to take over the family business. Most of the time, he was busy with social events.
Bai Yang was already used to Lu Man attaching himself to him, so it was natural that he felt that Christmas Eve, they should live in another two people’s world.
Lu Man looked at the calendar. “Tomorrow for Christmas, we’ll go outside to eat, okay?”
When they had just gotten married, Lu Man had been hoping that Bai Yang would spend more time with him. However, after a day where her hopes had failed, she had gotten used to wasting her time.
“It’s Christmas Eve today. Besides, I pushed away all the time I needed for the social meetup.” Bai Yang was displeased in his heart, he forcefully suppressed his emotions, as it was a holiday after all, he did not want to ruin the atmosphere, “What can you be busy with?”
In Bai Yang’s eyes, happy women only needed to show off their man. They were already married, why would Lu Man spend so much effort on his wardrobe?
“The shop has already signed a contract with the Yun’s, it’s the time for the new model to be on the shelf, they were already busy, plus —” Lu Man said half of her sentence, she felt that it was better to not say too much.
“The wardrobe isn’t as important as your husband? What’s more, are you still hiding something from me? ” The children of the Wealthy Class parents always felt a sense of superiority, and had a strong desire to control them. However, when Bai Yang was connected to these two points, there was no difference at all.
Lu Man didn’t want to argue, so she had to patiently explain, “I’ve already investigated, it’s impossible for Tang Xiaoan to still be alive, so the woman who looks like Tang Xiaoan is just an imposter. I’ve searched for so long, but still couldn’t find her origins, and I haven’t been able to find any traces of her movements even after entering, I always felt that she would appear again, so —” So I need to find out what her background is as soon as possible.
Without waiting for Lu Man to finish speaking, Bai Yang could not help but burst out, “These things are more important than me? If you are worried, can’t you just tell Ji Lingyue? ”
“You —” Lu Man looked at Bai Yang speechlessly. “Can you not cause a ruckus today? “Since you’ve pushed away so many important cases, you can take care of it!”
“Lu Man?!” Bai Yang said angrily to her, “Alright, as you wish!”
Bai Yang picked up his jacket, and angrily walked out of his house, and closed the door.
Lu Man sighed, why did the relationship between the two of them, who had spent so much effort to be together, become so weak? So it turned out that everyone got tired …
What she wanted was an equal relationship with Bai Yang. It was not like how she went along with Bai Yang in the past;
Ji Lingyue didn’t think that Bai Yang would look for him to drink, so he decided to make an appointment, “It’s still daytime, why would you want to drink at a bar? The hobby of drinking wine seems to be Jiang Beiwang’s favorite? ”
“Come have a drink with me first. Cheers!” Bai Yang only wanted to drink a few cups of wine first.
“With such a method of drinking, he quarreled with Lu Man.” Having been a brother for so many years, he didn’t think there was anything else that would cause Bai Yang to be so annoyed.
“Don’t worry, I won’t take up your time tonight.” Thinking about what Lu Man had said, Bai Yang became distracted. Christmas Eve, for him to go and attend the gathering?
“What’s wrong? If you’re in a bad mood, call Northern Wang and we’ll accompany you. ” Towards Ji Lingyue, there had never been a concept of festivals. Even when he went to the shopping mall during the day, he had never cared that it was a festival today.
Bai Yang looked at Ji Lingyue in astonishment, “On Christmas Eve today, did you not plan to show any sign of wanting to kill Yun Chi?” In the end, she was still an aloof CEO.
“Christmas Eve?” After searching in Ji Lingyue’s mind for a long time, it seemed to be a holiday, no wonder the people at the shopping mall were so popular today, “Why do you want to say it?”
“Have you really never pretended to be a girl before?”
“You want to keep my sister in line?” Ji Lingyue did not think much of it, “Could it be that Lu Man pestered you to accompany her for the holidays?”
“That’s good!” Bai Yang coldly snorted, “It’s she who doesn’t have time to accompany me.”
“Isn’t that something to be happy about? Is it worth coming here to drink?”
“Looks like I found the wrong person to drink with you today.” Bai Yang looked at Ji Lingyue’s ignorance, “But for a woman to not have any expectations for a festival like this, it means that you are no longer in her world.”
“Is that so?” Ji Lingyue thought about what Bai Yang had said, and guessed that Yun Chi would have some expectations for herself, “If a woman likes you, would she have any expectations for this day?”
Bai Yang nodded, “You haven’t forgotten Tang Xiaoan?” She really wanted to curse Ji Lingyue for a while, the displeasure between him and Lu Man was caused by her.
“Why are you bringing this up? I owe her. I won’t be able to repay her in this life or in the next.” In fact, he had always been feeling guilty towards Tang Xiaoan, it was just that he didn’t even know it himself.
“If —” Bai Yang thought about it and did not continue, “Forget it, drink!”
Ji Lingyue did not ask any further. Amongst the few of them, Ji Lingyue was the one who spoke the least.
In the afternoon, Lu Man was finally able to organize the intelligence and gave Yun Chi a call.
“Only when the call connected did I remember. I wonder if she and big brother are together.” Sister-in-law, what are you doing? ”
“I’m still in the office. Your brother hasn’t gotten the right assistant. I’m helping him organize the documents.” Yun Chi looked at the time, “Aren’t you supposed to be with Bai Yang now?” Bai Yang should still be considered a romantic person!
“I came looking for you!” Lu Man didn’t want to bring up Bai Yang right now, so he changed the topic.
“Now?”
“Hmm, see you later!” “Bye bye!” She hung up the phone without giving Yun Chi a chance to speak.
Yun Chi felt flabbergasted, she thought for a while as she looked at her phone, it seemed that she could only wait for Lu Man to come.
As expected, Lu Man arrived very quickly, startled the office, and looked at Yun Chi: “Sister-in-law?”
“So fast?” I’m done, too. Why don’t we go have dinner together? ” Yun Chi suggested. One could tell that Lu Man was not in a good mood.
“Alright, but I’ve already booked a restaurant. We’ll go once we finish discussing the matter.” If he didn’t reserve a table in advance, he probably wouldn’t need to eat dinner.
“You’re in such a hurry to find me, shouldn’t you be simply asking me out for a meal? What’s the matter, huh?”
Lu Man hesitated for a while, but eventually opened her mouth, “Sister-in-law, you cannot tell my brother about the things I told you today.”
“Alright, no problem.”
“I have already found out the ins and outs of the matter regarding Tang Xiaoan who appeared at your wedding.”
“Tang Xiaoan?” This was a knot in Yun Chi’s heart, so she was naturally curious. “She …”
After opening his mouth, Yun Chi did not know where to ask about it. Even if he knew everything, what could he do?
“I have already confirmed that she is not Tang Xiaoan.”
“But she’s exactly the same as Tang Xiaoan in the photo.” Yun Chi could not believe that there was someone who looked so similar.
“I sent people to investigate everything, and the evidence shows that Tang Xiaoan could not have revived from the dead.”
“Resurrected from the dead?” Could it be that Tang Xiaoan is dead? ” The impact that this had on Yun Chi was too great. She had thought of many possibilities and never thought that the person in Ji Lingyue’s heart, was already dead.
If he really was dead, then how would Big Brother Ling Yue be happy?
“But, Man Man, that person is indeed exactly the same as the woman in the photo. Yun Chi felt that everything was too shocking.
“You didn’t know she was dead. Didn’t you say you knew all about it?” Lu Man did not expect Yun Chi’s reaction to be so huge, “You didn’t think that Tang Xiaoan would come back anytime after he left my brother’s side, did you?”
Yun Chi nodded her head, “I’ve always felt guilty towards her.”
Lu Man shook her head, “This is all my fault, why would big brother mention Tang Xiaoan, furthermore it was in front of you?”
“Tang Xiaoan is my brother’s mental knot, his illness is also because she was left behind when Tang Xiaoan died. After so many years, she has never touched a woman, and even my grandmother was almost certain that he was gay. It was only when she met you that he became slightly more normal.
“Lingyue should love Tang Xiaoan a lot, that’s why —”
“That’s not the reason.” Lu Man had always thought that Yun Chi had already known about this, even though she planned to say it out loud, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
“Then why?” Yun Chi saw through Lu Man’s dilemma, “I will keep it a secret, and I won’t say that you told me.”
After hesitating for a while, Lu Man told Yun Chi everything about him and her brother.
After Yun Chi heard this, she came to a sudden realization, “So that’s how it is. Are you worried that someone else might have deliberately set that woman up to harm Lingyue? ”
“Yes.” So during this period of time, Lu Man had been investigating this matter, “All of the people who are worthy of suspicion, do not find fault with this matter.”
“Who could it be?” Yun Chi didn’t really understand.
“In the end, I thought of the only possibility.”
Yun Chi suddenly understood, “Someone related to Tang Xiaoan?”
“Yes, I finally found out her background. She is called Tang Xiaoning, she is —”
“Tang Xiaoan’s sister?” Yun Chi exclaimed.
Lu Man nodded her head, “Indeed, so her target must be big brother, but I do not know what her goal is.”
“It’s good that it is of no threat to Lingyue, at least.” Yun Chi thought about the godlike Tang Xiaoan woman she met at the company. So her name was Tang Xiaoning, and she went to the Ji’s to apply for the job, was it to get acquainted with Big Brother Ling Yue?
“That’s not necessarily true. You don’t know how much of an impact Tang Xiaoan has on my brother. Even if she’s only Tang Xiaoan’s little sister, she’s still a huge time bomb.” Lu Man explained the importance of this matter, hoping that Yun Chi would be more alert.
“Man Man, I think you’re overthinking it. She’s just a little girl who has just left society, what big waves could she cause. Moreover, her elder sister died, she must be very sad.” Yun Chi always kept everything in mind.
“You!” Lu Man shook his head, “With your heart, you are what I am most worried about.”
“You’re too sensitive about this.” Yun Chi consoled Lu Man.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this for now.” After all, what Yun Chi said was not without reason, “Tonight, my brother didn’t express anything?”
“You are his sister. You know how we got married.” Yun Chi never had any illusions.
“Alright, we’ll talk about Tang Xiaoning slowly in the future. Let’s celebrate tonight, and have dinner together!”
“Bai Yang?” Yun Chi thought for a while, “You don’t have to worry about me alone.”
“He’s busy, really.”
“Really?” Yun Chi was not too sure.
“Really, let’s go!” With that, Lu Man dragged Lu Man out of the office.
