Chapter 25: Zhuang Hong, You Can’t Be So Stingy, Right?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhuang Hong’s fingertips moved slightly under the blanket. Cen Shuang completely ignored the hand under the blanket and continued to speak with a red face. “Although we dated in the past, it wasn’t for long. I’m now a married woman. You shouldn’t be so stingy about us meeting again, right? I’ve told you about myself and the Yang Jinyan, which means that I’m very honest. Besides, we’ve held hands before. You can’t be mad at me.”

Under the night sky, the Zhuang family’s house lights shone through the window. Lan Yibai had just returned when she saw Zhuang Tinghao coming out from the eastern garden. His face was filled with a vicious malevolence, and one of his arms was hanging limply in front of him. “Horrid woman, when I inherit the Zhuang family, I’ll definitely kill you!” Zhuang Tinghao turned and saw Lan Yibai. He froze on the spot. “Aunt!”

“Young Master Zhuang is so capable, so who do you want to kill?” She ignored Zhuang Tinghao’s flattery, and her gentle eyebrows were raised.

“Yes, those servants were insensible and hurt my arm. They don’t know how to apologize. Aunt, you should keep your eyes peeled when it comes to them.”

“I remember that the old master said that he wouldn’t let you return to the old residence for no reason. I’m afraid you have a bad memory.”

Although Lan Yibai was born into an educated family, the Lan family had been producing government officials and individuals talented in fields like science and technology for many years. Even the Zhuang family in Lin City could not top that. Zhuang Tinghao should not dare to provoke her. He should hurry up and curry favor with her instead. “I came to deliver a banquet invitation to you. I’ll leave now.”

Lan Yibai looked at his departing figure and felt a chill in her chest. If it were not for Zhuang Hong’s current state, she would not have tolerated a person like Zhuang Tinghao. Cen Shuang had been crying in her room for a while. Then, she heard a knock on the door. She quickly wiped her tears and opened the door. “Mom!”

Lan Yibai saw Cen Shuang’s expression and asked nervously, “Zhuang Tinghao came just now?”

“Yes.”

“Did he treat you...” Lan Yibai looked at Cen Shuang nervously.

She shook her head and said softly, “I broke his arm.”

Lan Yibai said nonchalantly, “So what? If Zhuang Hong was awake, no one would say anything even if you crippled him.” She looked at Zhuang Hong who was still lying in bed, “He hasn’t woken up yet. Has Boyan come?”

“He comes every day, but it’s still the same. It’s hard to say when he’ll wake up.”Cen Shuang had mixed feelings. Although she liked the Zhuang family now, she did not know if she could continue staying in the Zhuang family after Zhuang Hong woke up. What if he did not like her? What if he hated her?

Lan Yibai sighed. She had harbored too much hope in the past six months. It was the same every time. She was already used to it. “Zhuang Hong can probably hear the conversations going on around him. If you have time, talk to him more. Also, if you’re not busy with school for the next two days, you can go and take a look at this banquet for me.”

Lan Yibai took out an invitation card. It was a charity banquet. Cen Shuang glanced at it. “You want me to go?”

“There should be some items for sale. You can also bring some things over. It’s always a good thing. If you like something, you can buy it,” Lan Yibai said and gave Cen Shuang a card.

“Mom, I don’t need these things.” Lan Yibai was too good to her. She would become dependent on the Zhuang family and would be reluctant to leave when the time came.

“If I tell you to take it, then take it. If you see something you like, then buy it for me. I haven’t received a gift from my daughter-in-law before.” Cen Shuang knew that Lan Yibai was not actually chastising her. She just did not want to be too tied up in the Zhuang family. However, they really gave her so much freedom that she felt warm inside. “Thank you, mom.”

“Go and have fun. There’s no need to rush home.” Lan Yibai wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, she looked at Cen Shuang and said seriously, “If you don’t want to be tied up in the Zhuang family, just tell me. If Zhuang Tinghao makes things difficult for you, tell me. Don’t hold back. Besides, even if the Zhuang family no longer has Zhuang Hong, I won’t let you suffer.”

Cen Shuang thought about how her mother was so gentle when she was alive. Now that she saw how Lan Yibai treated her, she felt aggrieved. She held back her tears and nodded stiffly. After Lan Yibai left, Cen Shuang curled up on the bed and cut Zhuang Hong’s nails. “Your mother is so good to me. Do you think she’s doing this for me? Or for you? I think she’s doing this for you. She must be afraid that I’ll abandon you or divorce you because you’re a vegetable. Maybe your mother treats me like the daughter she doesn’t have? No, I remember that you have a younger sister, right? Then she must be taking care of me because of you. Today, I broke your cousin’s arm. Do you think he’ll exact revenge? It doesn’t matter. I’m not afraid of him exacting revenge. Besides, he can’t do anything to me. When I leave, I’ll hit him without mercy. Zhuang Hong, when will you wake up? If you don’t wake up, your mother and I will really keep getting bullied.”

Cen Shuang could not help but sigh. The back of her hand felt warm, and she realized that it was caught under a big palm.
