###Chapter 7 The Immortal, Or Monster?
Lang Family’s townhouse stands on the highest point of Mount Diamond in G City, where the precious property price scares away most of the consumers, except those wealthy and powerful families.
“Remember what I said?” Lang Hongyue helps Yan Hua walk slowly into the townhouse. Immersed in the fear brought by the photo, Yan Hua just nods randomly.
Lang Hongyue thinks Yan Hua is shocked by the luxury of the townhouse, she shows her great satisfaction, “The old man in the front is the butler, Uncle Lee, who has served my eldest brother for a dozen of years. Don’t offend him.”
Yan Hua finds they are now in the sitting hall. The huge crystal lights shine brilliantly. The Chinese furniture and Western luxury combine perfectly. Compared with this townhouse, the small townhouse of He Family is just like the slum.
“Lady Hongyue,” Uncle Lee says in the most respectful way, with his eyes looking at Yan Hua. “You must be Madam Hua. Please come in!”
Lang Hongyue looks at Yan Hua, who makes a difficult smile, “Hello, Uncle Lee.”
“Hi, Madam Hua,” Uncle Lee smiles and says to Lang Hongyue, “Master Li is waiting in the small sitting room, together with Childe Ruoxian.”
In a composed way, Lang Hongyue supports Yan Hua and walks toward the small sitting room, smiling and saying, “Please look after Hua in the future, thank you.”
“You are welcome, Lady Hongyue. It is my duty.”
Called as Hua by Lang Hongyue, Yan Hua has goose-flesh all over. The carpet is soft and comforting. The calligraphy scrolls hang on the corridor wall. The carved doors at the end are pushed open. Before entering the room, they hear someone talking.
“This is the sole descendant of Second Uncle. I will look after him very well.”
The voice is gentle and elegant, making people believe he is a gentle and cultivated person. However, when Yan Hua walks in and sees the man sitting on the sofa, she is not feeling good at all.
“Yan Hua!” Lang Hongyue screams and holds the woman about to fall onto the ground.
Yan Hua is all wet with sweat. She doesn’t know whether he is a living man or a ghost...
“Be careful!” The man stands up and helps her sit down by holding her arm.
Yan Hua looks at him in an uneasy way.
“Hua, let me introduce,” Lang Hongyue, thinking Yan Hua is afraid of strangers, says in a hurry, “This is your eldest uncle. Li, please ask people to look after Hua. She is pregnant with the grandson of my second brother.”
A man is sitting on the armchair nearby. Though he is in his middle age, the man looks healthy and well nourished. He looks handsome with sharp eyes, just like...
Yan Hua looks at the young man beside him. The two people look similar to each other, just like father and son.
Besides, he is definitely a living man.
“You must be Hua. Please feel relaxed and get ready for your delivery. Though Second Brother has passed away, no one can bully you.”
The eyes of Lang Li stop on the belly of Yan Hua for a while, “When the baby is delivered, it will inherit the heritages of Second Brother whether it is a she or he.”
“Well, this is a must be,” Lang Hongyue laughs, “Li, when do we bring Hua to see Dad?”
Nowadays, Lang Family’s decisions are not made by Lang Li, the eldest brother of Lang Hongyue, but by their father Lang Zhuo. However, since his second son died, the old man has gone to the suburban mansion to live there.
“How is the health of your grandpa?” Lang Li turns to ask his son, who has remained silent for a long time.
Lang Hongyue says, “Well, I almost forget about it. Hua, this is Ruoxian, the son of my eldest brother.”
“Hi!” Lang Ruoxian bends his mouth corner, seeing Yan Hua with his brilliant eyes.
Yan Hua, though looking calm, has the most shocked inner world.
On their way to the townhouse, Lang Hongyue showed to her the photo of Lang Zeyu, the second nephew of hers. Seeing this, Yan Hua believes the good-looking man she saw in the hospital has already passed away.
Though they once had sex one time, she didn’t have the opportunity to talk to this man, who is the father of her baby. And they will never meet again.
“Hi...” She does not know how to start the conversation and in what mood.
This man also has the slanted eyes, just like the man she saw in the hospital. The only difference is that he does not have the teardrop mole.
However, the man kidnapping her, though he didn’t reveal his face, has almost the same eyes. Why do these three men look so similar?
“My eldest and second elder brothers are twins,” Lang Hongyue says, seeming to think of something, “So Ruoxian and Zeyu look very similar.”Yan Hua’s eyes blink. Then who is the guy kidnapping her in the afternoon?“You don’t look quite well. Are you tired?” Lang Ruoxian says in a gentle way. “Your room is ready. You can go and have some rest in it.”After saying that, he smiles at Lang Hongyue, “Grandpa is in good health these days. We will go to see him on this weekend.”“Well, you can make arrangements. I know you are filial,” Lang Hongyue helps Yan Hua stand up, “I will take Hua to her room first.”When Yan Hua leaves the small sitting room, she looks back for some reason she doesn’t know.Lang Ruoxian, who is talking with Lang Li, happens to turn his head, startling Yan Hua. However, the man smiles at her in the polite but distant way.“The son of my eldest brother is handsome with good t
Along the corridor are luxurious European wall lamps. The man approaches with flickering face, who seems to be walking through the ancient palace.Yan Hua opens her eyes suddenly. His style is so like the man who tried to take her away.“Aren’t you hungry?” The handsome face is exposed in the light, with his eyes inquiring about something.In an instant, Yan Hua thinks her eyes have made a mistake.“Yan Hua?” Lang Ruoxian, finding her dumb-founded, sees the fridge behind her, “I will tell them to prepare more food for the pregnant. Please do without it tonight.”The food in the fridge is not suitable for Yan Hua now. And she does not know how to cook meals.“That’s all right,” Yan Hua shakes her head, believing he is demanding her not to have the food.Nevertheless, Lang Ruoxian just passes her and takes the ingredients while fastening the apron around his waist, “I will cook a bowl of noodles
The first day in Lang Family is over. In the following half a month and more, she never sees Lang Ruoxian again. Now she most cares about her baby in the womb. After that, she wants very much to know if Lang Ruoxian is the man who kidnapped her on that day.“Uncle Lee said you have very good appetite,” Lang Hongyue says to her in the car when she is taking Yan Hua to receive the prenatal medical examination.Yan Hua’s hands feel her own face. Yes, she does have very good appetite.Now she not only has access to night snacks. Even more, a dedicated house maid in Lang Family cooks for her. Now it seems she has a round face?“That’s good,” Lang Hongyue is quite satisfied, “You should sleep well and eat well, just for the baby. Well, has my nephew caused any trouble to you?”Lang Hongyue came back yesterday from another city on business. But she often called Yan Hua. Probably she was afraid that Yan Hua might run away or m
After learning Lang Ruoxian tried to get something from the doctor, Lang Hongyue is indignant. At night, she runs to the room of Yan Hua to alert her.“Look, what I said proves to be right. He would harm you. Actually, he would harm the baby in your womb soon or later.”Lang Hongyue walks to and pro, looking quite upset. She becomes angrier when seeing Yan Hua still watching TV indifferently.“Did you hear me?”Yan Hua looks at her, “I heard you. But who can stop him from doing anything? We live in the same house.”“Damn!” Lang Hongyue says in a cursing way, “My father said you should live at home. Otherwise I would not bring you back home.”Yan Hua remains silent. She wonders why Lang Hongyue brought her home even though she realizes the importance of her baby. Now she understands why.“Don’t be afraid. He doesn’t dare to do it at home,” Lang Hongyue taps on her shoulder, “But never stay with
“Lang Jia and Lang Jie will stay at home for two months,” Lang Ruoxian loosens his tie, sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.What a picture it is!Yan Hua finds two young maids cleaning the wall picture while looking in this direction in a sneaking way.“Oh.” Her eyes come back and show dim expression, “It seems Lang Jie does not like me.”Lang Ruoxian half closes his eyes, “You want her to like you?”“I just hope to live in peace with her. After all, we live in the same house,” Yan Hua looks at him, “Isn’t it right?”“It seems you have got completely accustomed to the life here,” Lang Ruoxian gives the indifferent smile, “Lang Jia is just a young girl. I think you can deal with her easily, my sister-in-law.”The man has friendly smile and tone, but...Clearly, Yan Hua sees the mocking and pleasure at the misfortune of other people.“...I go upstairs,” she knows
Lang Jie comes home not only for holiday, but also to celebrate her birthday. As a member of the wealthiest family in G City, she has friends from either wealthy or high-ranking families.“I heard your second sister-in-law is a divorced lady,” Lang Jie and her friends are receiving facial beautification in the beauty salon. They show a keen interest in Yan Hua.“Ask her to the birthday party on the weekend,” one of them says, “So that we can see the modern Cinderella.”Having facial mask on her face, Lang Jie says with straightened mouth, “She is now most looked after as a pregnant woman.”“We won’t kill her,” another girl says in a despising way, “You can’t even handle a widow?”The others laugh and say the same words. Lang Jie, throwing away the facial mask, sits up, “OK. But don’t do too much to her. Otherwise my mom will criticize me heavily.”Yan Hua does not know she has been sold by Lang Jie. It is
The VIP lounge looks dim, but nothing unacceptable is found in it. Yan Hua changes her attitude towards the party of upper-class girls.But, it would be better if they didn’t look at her as if she was a monkey or ask some upsetting questions.“Did you really get drunk and go to bed with Second Young Master of Lang Family?”“Did you really forget everything?”“Did you secretly feed him with philter?”“There is really such a stupid woman who goes to bed for free with a man. Ha ha.”People around her either look despising or mocking. Before Yan Hua says something, Lang Jie opens her mouth, “You have promised not to ask embarrassing questions. Why are you still asking? ”“Don’t stand around her. After all, I am the one celebrating the birthday,” Lang Jie pulls them away from Yan Hua. They start to drink and play finger-guessing game.Yan Hua sits in the corner and rolls her eyes.
Guo Xiaotong looks at the woman in front of her with complicated eyes. She is shocked that after leaving He Family, the woman lives better instead of languishing.The woman wears a simple and generous long green dress. Guo Xiaotong recognizes that although the dress is household, it is a limited edition of a famous brand that she can’t even get it.“That’s what you’re capable of!” Guo Xiaotong, suppressing her jealousy, says tartly, “You are really lucky.”Yan Hua just smiles and says: “Thanks to you.”“You!” Guo Xiaotong screams, “You bitch!”Seeing her in such a state of exasperation, Yan Hua calms down. Now she is no longer being bullied, Guo Xiaotong doesn’t have the courage to provoke her.“Pay attention to your wording.” Yan Hua turns and tries to leave.Now is not the time to deal with Guo Xiaotong, everything is waiting for her baby to be born safely.“Yan Hua, stop!” Obvi
