My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty
Chapter 319: Who Would Have Thought?

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Who Would Have Thought?

"Wife, why are you here?"

The middle-aged leader let out a cry of surprise that startled Tang Chuxia into shivering.

She quickly looked at Tang Jianzheng, silently asking, "Really?"

Tang Jianzheng held his forehead in distress.

Then his gaze shifted to the doorway where Father Tang and Madam Tang were entering, making him feel even more overwhelmed.

This is going to be a disaster!

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the middle-aged leader’s wife pinched the flesh around his waist, almost screeching out loud.

As for Father Tang and Madam Tang, they followed inside, with Father Tang briskly going to his son’s hospital room to offer warm greetings, while Madam Tang pulled the middle-aged leader’s wife aside, "Sister Ying, quickly tell me what the reason is?"

Sister Ying released the middle-aged leader’s flesh, smiling as she sat beside Madam Tang, hand in hand.

"Zheng, you don’t have to ask me; my husband found out a bit and ran to tell you, that’s just setting someone up!"

The middle-aged leader looked aggrieved, disliked by Sister Ying, but he dared not show it.

Madam Tang forced a smile, "It’s okay, it’s okay, any bit of information is something; it’s better than us being schemed against without understanding anything!"

Sister Ying sighed, "This matter, well, it’s a bit baffling. These men always say it’s because of Xiao Tang’s superhuman abilities that she’s been targeted, but aren’t there plenty of capable people out there? Would each and every one be targeted? National treasures are scarce enough, how could they even begin to keep track?"

Madam Tang nodded repeatedly, and Sister Ying motioned for Tang Chuxia to come over.

She held Tang Chuxia’s hand, examining her carefully, "Zheng, that guy took a fancy to your daughter because of a photograph of Xiao Tang!"

Tang Chuxia also became interested—what photograph was it that caught someone’s eye at a glance and remained unforgettable?

Madam Tang quickly inquired about the photograph, and through Sister Ying’s description, Tang Chuxia understood.

That photograph really was a part of her regretful past.

Do you remember that photo of Tang Chuxia involved in earthquake relief, the one that became her black history?

And the whimsical photo that was heavily publicized by her maternal grandparents.

That photo had also caught the old fellow’s eye.

"He got the idea after seeing your photograph!" Sister Ying remarked with a sigh, and Tang Chuxia’s face darkened.

"Does he have a problem with his eyesight? Could anyone even tell it was me in that photo?" The key was that she appeared superhumanly strong and you could hardly make out the face.

Sister Ying burst into laughter, "You don’t know the old fellow’s story, so it’s no wonder you’re puzzled. I’m from the same hometown as him, so I know a little about his family!"

In Sister Ying’s version, the old guy grew up in real poverty, the kind where the whole family only had one pair of pants to wear; you can imagine how hard life was.

To survive, the old guy’s parents sent him to a well-off family to become a child husband, and his wife was a woman of immense strength.

Tang Chuxia: ...

What kind of bizarre situation was this?

Everyone in the hospital room fell silent.

Who could have guessed?

"That’s not right, though, the young ladies around the old man are all delicate and soft, where’s there a strong woman?"

Sister Ying gave her own husband a disdainful look, "You don’t know anything. Besides the wife paired with him, all the other women have a bit of the shadow of his original wife. You’ve never seen that woman, so naturally, you wouldn’t know!"

Tang Chuxia let out an "ah": "So just because I’m strong, he wants to marry me? What if I don’t agree?"

Sister Ying chuckled, "Of course, he’s afraid that a bright young lady like you would refuse, so he went to my husband’s immediate superior, threw a tantrum demanding a wife, and when that didn’t look successful, he began to entertain dirty thoughts and put pressure on your Third Brother!"

Tang Chuxia was stunned.

She pointed at Tang Jianzheng’s leg. "Then my Third Brother was on a dangerous mission because of retaliation?"

Sister Ying slapped the middle-aged leader. "Are you spouting nonsense? I don’t know what Jianzheng’s mission was about, but isn’t every mission they take on life-threatening? One wrong move could cost them their lives. That old jerk doesn’t have the power to interfere with missions, right?"

Sister Ying was the logistics person for the middle-aged leaders, and even though she didn’t know the content of the missions, her years of experience made her understand the risks involved.

The middle-aged leader and Tang Jianzheng dared not look at Tang Chuxia.

Tang Chuxia narrowed her eyes at Tang Jianzheng, even walked up to him.

A smile blossomed on Tang Chuxia’s face.

She took Tang Jianzheng’s hand. "Dear Third Brother, your little sister doesn’t quite understand something and hopes Third Brother can clarify!"

Tang Jianzheng, clutching his leg, screamed in agony, no longer caring about losing face.

But Tang Chuxia didn’t believe it. Tang Jianzheng had been screaming for several days now and must have built up some tolerance; his reaction couldn’t be that exaggerated.

"Third Brother, if you don’t answer, then I think it would be enlightening for third sister-in-law to learn about the numerous marriage pledges you made to countless young girls when you were a child."

Tang Jianzheng: ...

My own sister!

She knows exactly where to stick the knife.

Tang Jianzheng stopped screaming; he smiled awkwardly.

"Little sister, I was also afraid that you might hastily get married out of fear, and that would break our mother’s heart, wouldn’t it?"

After hearing this, Tang Chuxia snatched the blanket and covered Tang Jianzheng’s head, then started hitting him.

Fortunately, Tang Chuxia knew her limits; she didn’t do any real harm, just made him feel pain.

After beating him up, Tang Chuxia started crying on Madam Tang.

"Mom, Third Brother has screwed me over! Getting married on the third day of the new year isn’t a big deal, but I was the one who took the initiative. There was no proposal ceremony, and who knows if he even likes me. The worst part is I haven’t had the chance to date a few more handsome guys. It’s tragic!"

Madam Tang: ...

Sister Ying went from being stunned to bursting into laughter.

This child is so interesting.

Who would’ve thought that she wouldn’t be angry about being tricked, but because she didn’t get to date more.

Tang Jianzheng yelled, "Marrying Gu Beihuai is still better than being deceived by a scumbag like Hu Mingcheng, right?"

Tang Chuxia wiped away the non-existent tears at the corner of her eyes and said with irritation, "Of course, I wouldn’t marry Hu Mingcheng, but Gu Beihuai doesn’t like me either. I made two moves on him, and he got shy like a little girl. Do you know how miserable I am?"

Tang Jianzheng: ...

Madam Tang felt her every breath was a sin.

Sister Ying burst out laughing.

Tang Chuxia started to complain about how hard it was to get a handle on Gu Beihuai.

In short, she said: A melon forced off its vine isn’t sweet.

"I originally wanted to ’inspect the goods’ and make sure all of his manly parts worked before considering marriage, but because of your overly serious phone call, I’ve ended up a married woman. Not only do I have to rely purely on luck, but now you’ve made it so I’m shackled."

Tang Chuxia was still complaining, but Tang Jianzheng had become numb.

He reaffirmed that his sister’s alter ego must be a madman.

Because his adorable and affectionate little sister would never say such wild things.

Not to mention Father Tang and Madam Tang, who were initially worried for Tang Chuxia but now were grinding their teeth in anger.

Sister Ying, clutching her stomach, leaned on the middle-aged leader and whispered softly, "Let’s leave quickly later!"

The middle-aged leader didn’t understand, so Sister Ying pinched him. "Are you dumb? Right now, they need to discipline their child. If we’re around, we’ll interfere with their performance!"
