章 344: You Know Each Other (2)
The way Tang Yian had said what he did, sounded like he didn't quite want to see Lu Xiaoling but at the same time, it didn't sound like he didn't want to see her either.
"Can I not be here?" Lu Xiaoling said with a frown.
Hearing such a sassy response, Tang Yian didn't know what to say at first, so he said, "No—"
"No?" Lu Xiaoling said, not allowing him to finish his sentence.
"No! I mean you can be wherever you want." Tang Yian said a bit guiltily. He didn't mean to be rude. "I'm sorry..."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaoling, who had been slightly annoyed was going to retort but then, Xu Shen put his hand on Lu Xiaoling's shoulder and said, "No, don't worry. My wife is that one that's sorry."
Xu Shen had never seen a person illicit such a reaction from Lu Xiaoling and so, Xu Shen could sense that Lu Xiaoling was about to go on a rampage and so, he quickly nipped the situation in the bud.
Or so he thought...
Meanwhile, seeing how Xu Shen touched Lu Xiaoling and how he called her 'my wife' Tang Yian felt something boiling at the pit of his stomach but he didn't know why... and this just made him angrier.
"Is she sorry though?" Tang Yian asked a bit accusingly.
Hearing this, something snapped within Lu Xiaoling which caused her to rip Xu Shen's hand off of her shoulder and approach Tang Yian antagonistically.
Lu Xiaoling looked deeply into Tang Yian's eyes, "Excuse me? Do you have a problem with me?"
Meanwhile, on the sidelines, almost everyone was confused but Elder Tang and Elder Kang were the most confused of the bunch.
Elder Tang looked over to Tang Huian.
"Um...Do they know each other?" Elder Tang asked a bit awkwardly.
Tang Huian nodded. "Too well... but obviously, brother doesn't quite remember her though... because of... you know..."
Hearing this, Elder Tang felt his mind race. He then looked at Tang Huian with a bit of curiosity and then he said, "Did those two ever... you know..."
Elder Tang felt a bit of shame while asking this. This wasn't something he would usually ask but Tang Yian seemed really close to Lu Xiaoling in his own way and there was a strange kind of tension surrounding them and so, he couldn't help himself.
Seeing the small bits of jealousy flash through Tang Yian's eyes when Xu Shen had touched Lu Xiaoling, Elder Tang felt a bit strange...
So he had to ask.
Hearing her father's question, Tang Huian was going to answer but then, Elder Kang interrupted.
"Is that something you ask your children?" Elder Kang asked with a laugh. "Either way, didn't you tell me that your son had a longtime girlfriend that he eloped with?"
Elder Tang, remembering the ages or Tang Yiling and Lu AnLing, nodded slowly. It was impossible for Tang Yian and Lu Xiaoling to have dated. At least that was what he believed.
Not too far away, Lu AnLing, Kang Jun and the kids had been standing a few steps away but they could hear the conversations of both the elders and her parent's clearly.
Lu AnLing had never experienced parental bickering. It had always been just her and her dad in her childhood and the man had never once tried to remarry. And in the Lu Household, Xu Shen and Lu Xiaoling had never fought. So seeing her biological parents bickering in front of her caused a strange feeling to swirl around in Lu AnLing's belly.
Watching the way Lu Xiaoling and Tang Yian bickered, Lu Xia felt as if she was watching a couple who were seconds away from having makeup sex so she turned away and said, "Get a room."
Though as soon as she turned around, she came face to face with Kang Jun and Lu AnLing who stood close together.
Noticing her cousin and her husband's stress-free expressions and complexions, Lu Xia smirked.
"Speaking of getting a room..." Lu Xia said as she looked over to her cousin who still stared at her parents.
"You did it today, didn't you!" Lu Xia said accusingly, and then she gave her a face of understanding. "You dirty dirty girl!"
Hearing this, Lu AnLing laughed. "What are you? A mind reader?"
Lu Xia rolled her eyes. "Jie Jie, You're glowing today. And I know this isn't the magic of makeup!"
***
Unable to stop thinking about Tang Yiling, Gu Chu Nian, who had accidentally been following Tang Yiling for a while now, had made her way towards Tang Yiling with slight confusion and then, once she made it close, she said, "Suyin?"
Hearing this name, Tang Yiling did not reply.
Tapping Tang Yiling on the shoulder, Gu Chu Nian wondered if she had gotten the wrong person, but then, when she heard Tang Yiling speak, Gu Chu Nian knew that she was staring at Suyin.
Tang Yiling who looked at Gu Chu Nian with disgust said, "Who are you and what do you want?"
Gu Chu Nian didn't smile, instead, her eyes began to water as she said, "Suyin, it's been a long time."
Hearing this name, Tang Yiling frowned.
The name Suyin should have meant nothing to her. Tang Yiling had practically forgotten many parts of her past but for some reason, hearing the name Suyin made Tang Yiling extremely angry.
"Who the hell do you think you're talking to?!" Tang Yiling sneered as she slapped Gu Chu Nian's hand away. "I am Tang Yiling!"
"But Suyin—" Gu Chu Nian began, but before she finished her sentence, Tang Yiling had thrown a slap right across Gu Chu Nian's face.
Pak!
The slap resonated around the surrounding area.
Right at that moment, Ning Jie, who had been getting drinks had come at just the wrong time.
Seeing what had happened, Ning Jie's eyes widened...
When Lu AnLing had heard the crowd react to something, the girl had been talking and laughing with Lu Xia, Tang Bingyi and Mo Sheng.
Hearing the sound of a slap and a few gasps, Lu AnLing turned towards, the commotion and then, through the crowd, she saw Gu Chu Nian clutching her face and Tang Yiling standing arrogantly, as if above her.
Seeing this, Lu AnLing frowned. She was about to go up to Tang Yiling and serve her up a taste of her own medicine but she then felt Kang Jun's hands on her waist.
Feeling this, Lu AnLing smiled and then she looked up at Kang Jun.
"Don't worry... I won't do anything to put myself in too much danger."
Hearing this, Kang Jun nodded and then he kissed her on the cheek.
Kang Jun: "I don't want you to put yourself in any danger at all. But I'll come to save you, if necessary."
After hearing this, Lu AnLing nodded and then she turned her hands into firsts before she made her way towards Gu Chu Nian, Ning Jie and Tang Yiling.
