065. Lover/ spouse
The shrew doesn’t anything. She just looks at An Ran, unable to say anything, but also, not saying anything doesn’t feel right.
Seeing her like that Huang De Xing assumes that she is agreeing tacitly. He quickly turns his head, and gives An Ran a signal, “An Ran!”
An Ran looks at him, and looks into the eyes of that temperamental arrogant shrew. In her mind she naturally wasn’t able to say that she was feeling wronged. She does believe that the fault doesn’t entirely lie on her, and she also doesn’t have any reason to wrong herself. Thinking in that way, she makes eye contact with the woman, and says, “I won’t apologize to you, as I don’t think that I did anything wrong, or said anything wrong.”
“Ha, listen to that. This is her attitude. Well, very well.” The shrew was ashamed into anger, gnashing her teeth as she says, “Director Huang, don’t say that I didn’t give you face, it’s that SHE doesn’t want to give you face.”
“An Ran!” Huang De Xing turns his head, glowering at An Ran, thinking that she doesn’t understand the severity of the case.
An Ran avoids his gaze, and turns her head, not looking at him.
In the crowd, Mo Fei couldn’t watch anymore. He didn’t want to leave An Ran feeling wronged, so he was thinking of stepping forward, but was stopped by Tong Xiao Jie who pulled on his hand, shaking her head.
Mo Fei frowns, looking on at An Ran worriedly. He turns to Tong Xiao Jie and whispers, “Xiao Jie, let go of me.”
Tong Xiao Jie looks at him, and doesn’t say anything. She lets go of his hand, and when she let go she squeezes out of the crowd of people, walking towards An Ran and the shrew.
“Auntie Zhang.” Putting a smile on her face, she graciously calls out.
One after another, the people in the crowd turn their head, seeing her put on three different expressions. An Ran looks at her puzzled, not understanding what she was thinking of doing. In contrast, Huang De Xing was happy, because he knew that Zhang’s son was married to the Tong family’s second daughter, Tong Xiao Min, so they were considered family. Additionally, An Ran and Tong Xiao Jie were schoolmates. He saw their interaction earlier, and it seemed like their relationship was pretty good. If Tong Xiao Jie were to be mediator, then the Zhang shrew will definitely give face to her. He then looks at the Zhang shrew, whose face was somewhat unnatural. She looks down at her own sorry figure, and looks up again at An Ran. The look in her eye became increasingly dangerous. To her, having Tong Xiao Jie see her sorry figure like this, her reputation is completely out the window.
“Auntie Zhang, An Ran is my senior sister. You’re our superior and is magnanimous, so please give me face. Don’t be so harsh on her, could you do that?” Tong Xiao Jie intimately takes her hand, currying favour.
The Zhang shrew looks at Tong Xiao Jie. Since the matter came to this stage, letting her push her aside is impossible. If this Tong Xiao Jie had asked for a favour beforehand, then she would have honoured the Tong family’s reputation, and she wouldn’t have bothered about it. But this was about Huang De Xing’s pleading over and over again, and this bitch wouldn’t yield and compensate her, furthermore wouldn’t admit her mistake and says she wasn’t wrong. Since things are this way now, then wouldn’t it look like she was surrendering her own status, the mother of Dong corporation? Could it be that she can’t even manage this little architect, her words would drop in status, that she couldn’t even handle this thing.
She clears her throat, looks at Tong Xiao Jie, and says, “Xiao Jie, it’s not that Ah Yi doesn’t want to give you face, it’s that your senior sister is a bully. You’ve just seen what happened too, she wouldn’t even take my friendly advice. So she must give me her own statement about this matter, otherwise, your auntie will lose face.”
“This….” Tong Xiao Jie helplessly turns to look at Mo Fei who was in the crowd. She wrinkles her brows. She tried the best that she could, but there really isn’t any other way.
Silence at the scene of the crime, the music that was playing had unknowingly already stopped. More and more people start to surround them. Those who weren’t so sure of what was going on had asked those around them.
“Director Huang, what do you say?” Zhang family’s shrew turns to look at Huang De Xing. Now, whatever compensation was offered is tossed aside. Right now she wants to pressure Huang De Xing to let go of this dumb girl who doesn’t know Heaven from Earth, to let her know, that at this kind of reception, that she isn’t just a nobody who had been offended.
Huang De Xing was also stuck. He looks at An Ran, thinking to himself, that this girl has everything. She has a gift in designing, but in terms of dealing with people, she really can’t be compared with Xiao xiao. He suddenly regrets taking her to this tonight. If not for the fact that she has something with Tong Xiao Jie and Mo Fei, he really wouldn’t have considered her to participate this this stuff.
Her mood had already calmed down earlier. An Ran calmly says, “Mrs. Zhang doesn’t need to make things difficult for our director. This matter concerns only you and me. If you really wanted a statement, I think we should bring this to the police, so we can avoid the influence of this reception.”
With An Ran’s words, the air around the Zhang family’s shrew became unclear. Her face turns scarlet red. She steps towards An Ran and bellows, “Alright! Let’s go to the police station!”
“What’s going on? What’s everyone quarrelling about?”
Behind them, a grand a voice appears at this time. One after another, everyone turns their head. They see a person, but don’t take the initiative to step aside. The person coming forward isn’t just one person, but a group of five men, who were coming over. Four of the five men appear similar in age, all at about 50-60 years of age. Their hair slightly greying, signifying the change due to their age.
One of the four men was Tong Wen Hai, and another was Xiao Ying tian, the chairman to a real estate association. Another was a man who had a protruding belly, clearly gaining weight, the Zhang shrew’s husband, Zhang Yuan Shan. And the last man, the one in front, the one who had just spoken, had a kind face. He was a refined man, and was Jiang city’s mayor, Ling Chuan Jiang!
And among these four men was a comparatively much younger man, an extremely remarkable man. From head to toe, wearing a rich blue suit, his hair combed neatly, his deep-set eyes especially enchanting.
This man, was, was, none other than Su Yi Cheng!
Zhang Yuan Shan looks at his wife, frowning. He mutters a swear under his breath, and quickly steps forward, taking her by the hand and asking what was going on. And at this moment An Ran was staring at Su Yi Cheng in shock, her small mouth open. Too coincidental, he said that he had a reception, but she didn’t expect that he would also be here!
Su Yi Cheng naturally also looks at her. He sees that her orange dress was blackened at the chest. He frowns, but doesn’t say anything. He walks over the crowd towards her, takes off his outer coat, and places it on her body. He gently sweeps aside a loose strand of hair on her forehead, and asks, “How did this get there?”
An Ran was shocked by his appearance. She was dazed for a good while, and can only look at him in a trance. She stutters, “You, you why are you here?”
Su Yi Cheng smiles tenderly at her, and says, “Didn’t I tell you that I was going to the same reception?”
Looking at him, An Ran shakes her head woodenly. He definitely didn’t say that.
Su Yi Cheng laughs, and only says, “Then remember to ask me next time.”
“Yi Cheng.” From behind, Jiang city’s chief Liang Chuan Jiang’s magnificent voice calls out once again. He looks at An Ran, and asks puzzlingly, “This is?”
Su Yi Cheng turns his head, and chuckles as he says, “My spouse, Gu An Ran.”

Hmmm....interesting that he chooses to say lover and not wife. I wonder if he'll clarify in the next chapter. Now, that he has come, I bet everything will be easily resolved. Although, I wanted An Ran to resolve it on her own.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!!!
Oh, my bad haha, actually in this context it does mean spouse. I just translated it literally as lover. Thanks, I'll correct that.
DeleteOh yeah, it would have been cooler if she'd resolve it on her own. The classism is strong in this novel~ lol
You're welcome!
Thanks for the update. Everybody knows now that Anran husband is Su Yi Chen and everyone's surprise. Mrs Zhang who acts mightily, arrogant and loud, now defeated and depleted. What ashamed. Looking forward for the next chapter. Have a blessed and wonderful evening.
