Chapter 79: Another evil scheme

Tang’s Villa.

Suyin threw every possible thing in her room. It was a complete mess. She broke expensive vases and torn bedsheets and curtains. She even threw a vase at the mirror and shattered it into pieces.

Master and Madam Tang tried their best to stop her but it was like she couldn’t hear anything.

“Why!? Why is this happening? When did they get so close? They are dating now Mom, Dad. I will never accept this. Nobody can take Jianyu from me. Just because I wasn’t here for two years, they think that everything is over between us? In their dreams!”

Master Tang tried to calm her down. “Yes yes. Don’t worry. Only you can be with Jianyu. And who is that Nana? She is just some poor girl running a pathetic restaurant. How long will she be able to stand up against us?”

Madam Tang, “Yes dear. It’s still not over. Dating doesn’t mean anything. They have just started. We can do many things to destroy her before it comes to their engagement.”

“Getting angry will not solve anything. We underestimated Nana. It was our fault. We never thought she could be this ahead of us. Small tricks won’t work on her.”

Suyin finally calmed down.

That’s right. Enough with the cheap tricks.

Master Tang then got struck with an idea.

“You once told that you had investigated her before right?”

Suyin widened her eyes in shock.

“Yes! I did. How can I forget that!? Her past is not that simple. We have got such a huge card against her. I’m so stupid.”

Madam Tang smirked, “Correct. So, what if we release it? Do you think Chen’s will still be able happy to have their son date a slut like her? No. They will instantly throw her out of his life. Chen Jianyu will also be disgusted with her.”

Suyin smiled widely.

“Yes, mom. This is perfect!”

Just then her phone rang.

She saw and it was the same man’s number who she had hired last night.

“You! You have the nerve to call back!? I gave you a job and you went into some filthy bar to get wasted?”

“No-no. I got tired of waiting for that girl. Then some guys came by who needed money, so…so I went with them to gamble for a bit. I thought I could try my luck too. We had a few drinks but when I woke up, they beat me to pulp saying that I cheated them and they want their money back. They even broke my hand.”, he cried.

“I don’t care! You were useless. Don’t ever call me again.”

“No please! Please lend me some money. They will kill me.”

“Which is good for you! And forget about getting any money from me. You didn’t do the job and you still want money? Get lost!”, and she hung up.

“Who was he?”

“A fool. Couldn’t even do such a simple thing. Forget about him. We will go ahead with our plan.”

Madam Tang was too excited, “Yes! I can’t wait.”

Outside Natsukashi.

Jianyu asked in surprise, “Cousin-in-law? What are you doing here?”

Huian was also shocked. Jianyu? Does he know?

“Umm…”

Nana froze on the spot. It felt like the pain of her slap was still fresh in her memory. What now? Oh God, does she know about last night? What happened between Mr. Liu and me?

Jianyu noticed high tension between them.

Something is definitely wrong.

“What happened?”, he asked.

Huian said to Nana, “Can we go inside and talk?”

Nana was silent for a few seconds but lightly nodded.

Natsukashi was quiet since she had closed it for today. After what happened yesterday, she mentally needed some rest. So, she gave everybody off.

Jianyu couldn’t contain any longer.

“Please tell me what happened. I can see from both of your faces that something is wrong between you two. And cousin-in-law, how did you suddenly come here today?”

“That…”, she took a deep breath. She had to do this. No matter how insulted she felt.

She bowed and said, “Nana. I apologize for my actions yesterday. I…I shouldn’t have misunderstood you. I’m sorry I s-slapped you without knowing your side. I said many hurtful things to you. I humiliated you.”, she gritted her teeth, “Please forgive me.”

Jianyu widened his eyes in shock.

“You did what!? But why!?”, he spoke more like shouting.

He looked at Nana. “Nana. Is this true?”

Silence.

He was frustrated.

“I want to know! Just what happened that made you slap her, Huian? What made you misunderstand her so much that it came to this point?”

“I-“

“Answer me already!”

As a friend, he really liked Nana and so was protective of her. Plus, now he was also her boyfriend. So, double the intensity of his reaction.

Huian had no choice. One way or the other it was inevitable to know from Jinhai or Father Liu. She thought it was better to tell him herself.

She nervously told him how she saw the two photos of them Nana and Jinhai together and how things went really bad. How she slapped and insulted her. Liu Hai and Jinhai clarified the two photos and she realized her mistake. More like they forced her to realize, she thought.

Jianyu looked at her like he was seeing her for the first time.

He felt terribly bad for Nana.

“Cousin-in-law…were you even in your senses? Were you drunk? You just saw two photos and you had THAT huge misunderstanding!?”
