Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Tai Jingjuan looks at the distant view of Chen Ziyue’s back and clenches her fists unreconciled. She thinks that Chen Ziyue’s attitude towards her is to look down on her, and look down on students like them who failed to get into the elite universities.

“What’s the big deal...?” She bites her lip.

At then she just gets a text message on her mobile phone. Tai Jingjuan glances at it. Flickering her eyes, she begins to reply.

When everyone gathers to start cooking, she says suddenly.

“Sorry, a friend of mine has to see me. Will it be convenient for him to come over?”

Qiu Xinyue casually asks, “Which country is he from?”

“Of course from Hua Country! But he...”

“Is he from the university next door to us?” Qiu Xinyue glances at her, “That university is worse than ours. The students there are rich second generations that were no longer able to carry on abroad and were thrown out by their families. How do you know them?”

Tai Jingjuan’s look is a little embarrassed, but she still smiles and says, “I’ve known them since I wrote papers for them. Ah! If I don’t let him come, I’m afraid that in the future...”

Everyone understands what she means. Since the other party lets her make money, it is her boss. Offending him is definitely inappropriate.

So Dahe glances at everyone else, “It’s okay? Just one more person.”

“I have no opinion.” Huang Yingbo shrugs.

Qiu Xinyue pouts, and several boys agree. Tai Jingjuan thanks everyone else with pleasure, and takes out her mobile phone to send a message to the other party.

The dinner is very sumptuous. In addition to two roast chickens, there is also beef bought from the farm owner. The vegetables and fruits are fresh and organic, and there are freshly squeezed grape juice and wine. Everyone chats and brags around the fire and lanterns.

“Wuyou, what does your family do?” Except for Chen Ziyue, everyone else is from the South or someplace very far from Yanjing, so they don’t know Wuyou’s identity.

Chen Ziyue knows, but he won’t be talkative.

“Running a company.”

Dahe laughs after Wuyou finishes talking. When he sees her make it clear that she doesn’t want to talk more, he wants to change the subject.

Qiu Xinyue suddenly asks, “Lang is a rare surname, but we have one in Province G.”

At this time, Tai Jingjuan’s mobile phone rings, and she picks it up and goes to the distance to answer it.

“Lang Consortium in Province G! I know.” Yang Zheng continues, “I hear that their former president willingly gave up the company in order to chase his wife, and married into and lived with his bride’s family.”

Wuyou says, “He didn’t marry into and live with his bride’s family.”

“Ah? Then what?”

Qiu Xinyue suddenly opens her eyes wide, “How do you know that? Your surname is also Lang...God! No...”

“You are talking about my dad.” Wuyou understates, “My surname is Lang, and my dad didn’t marry into and live with his bride’s family.”

“What the hell!” Xu Yiheng raises a drumstick, “This is a boss! My family’s small company can’t be compared with yours.”

But Shen Yiran asks a little hesitantly, “I saw their photos online. It is said that Mrs. Lang was Yanjing’s first lady. They all look...”

He makes a gesture. The others are stunned, and then react that he means that Wuyou is not beautiful. They quickly look at Wuyou, being worried that she will be angry.

Qiu Xinyue directly says, “What do you mean?”

“I don’t mean anything else!” Shen Yiran smiles stiffly, “I just feel strange.”

Wuyou glances at him, “It’s not surprising, because I was an orphan and brought back by my dad when I was a kid.”

“Ah?” Everyone has a complex expression.

Tai Jingjuan, who just comes back, is shocked when she hears the last sentence. Wuyou turns out to be an orphan! Suddenly she feels that superiority is back.

Everyone has different ideas, and Chen Ziyue looks at them, feeling funny. These people may not know that the so-called orphan in front of them will be the successor of Lang Consortium in Yanjing in the future!

With some kind of bad interest, he doesn’t expose Wuyou. Anyway, if someone really wants to ask for trouble himself, he will overestimate his strength. What will it have to do with him...?

“Did you ever think about looking for your biological parents?” Someone really continues to ask.

Tai Jingjuan says with a worried expression, “Or they couldn’t be found?”

“I didn’t look for them.” Wuyou gives a clear and crisp answer, showing particularly heartless.

“Why didn’t you look for them?” Tai Jingjuan looks very surprised, “Maybe it’s not what you thought. They might have their own difficulties. Maybe they are looking for you.”

Wuyou looks away indifferently and pokes the steak on the grill.

Tai Jingjuan looks at her and thinks that she must be afraid that her biological parents are poor... Having managed to have wealthy adoptive parents, who will want to leave?

“I think that you still have to find them anyway. You are in such good conditions now, and you will have a good job in the future. In case your biological parents are poor, how can you be at ease? Anyway, if I were you, I must find them.”

Wuyou takes the steak to the plate and cut a piece of it to eat.

“I don’t mean anything else,” Tai Jingjuan says quickly, “If you don’t like to hear it, I just won’t say it.”

Wuyou nods, “I really don’t like to hear it.”

“...” Tai Jingjuan looks paler and is more jealous in her heart.

She and Qiu Xinyue have known each other for a long time, knowing that Qiu Xinyue has always spoken directly, so she rarely provokes her. She wasn’t in contact with these darling daughters before, but later learns that most of them like to attack people face-to-face, and will definitely not talk nonsense to you.

But Lang Wuyou is just an adopted daughter. How can she embarrass me? If she really finds her biological parents, maybe the conditions are not as good as mine...

“Am I wrong?” She whispers to Yang Zheng aside.

The boys are not so sensitive. Yang Zheng thinks that Tai Jingjuan is a little bit hypocritical and nosy. He doesn’t think of anything else and comforts her. Then Tai Jingjuan is in a good mood, and takes the initiative to go there and serve fruits to everyone else.

“You just ignore her,” Qiu Xinyue pats Wuyou, “If you said that you were a child of Lang Family earlier, I would come to you long ago. My dad and your... What is your relationship with Lang Yukun?” 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

“He’s my Fourth Uncle.”

“Yes! My dad has a good relationship with your Fourth Uncle. He went to have dinners at our house!”

Qiu Xinyue is really happy, and exchanges the phone number with Wuyou, “Do you live by yourself?”

“Living near the school.”

“Alone?”

Wuyou nods, and Qiu Xinyue envies her very much, “My dad said that I was naughty and didn’t allow me to live alone. It is not convenient for me to live in a collective apartment. By the way! Can I go to you to play?”

“Yes.” Wuyou thinks for a while, “You can go over on the weekend and I will cook.”

“Oh, you just brag!” Then she watches Wuyou turn over a piece of steak and shuts up.

In the distance, Tai Jingjuan keeps looking at them. Wuyou suddenly looks up at her, which scares her to quickly lower her head. Then she clasps her fingers angrily, feeling herself too useless.

Towards the end of dinner, Tai Jingjuan answers a phone call and happily runs to the door. After a while, she leads in a boy.

“This is my friend, you call him...”

“Call me the English name Mark!” The boy has red highlights and outfits himself from head to toe in designer labels. He glances around at those people and takes out a package of cigarettes, “I hear that you are playing, so I come here to be part of it!”

Dahe smiles and asks him to sit down, “Okay! Going out to play, more people can have more fun! Have you eaten yet? If not, I’ll grill some beef for you.”

“Where can I eat for driving all the way?” Mark leans back in his chair and asks, shaking his legs, “Is there no wine?”

Shen Yiran takes the initiative to pick up the wine glass, “Is port wine OK?”

“Pour it!” Mark looks disdainful, “There is nothing good in this place.”

Qiu Xinyue yawns, “Sleepy, Wuyou, Yingbo, let’s go back to the room and sleep, OK?”

“OK!” Huang Yingbo stands up immediately.

Wuyou puts the remaining steaks on the grill and hands the clip to Dahe.

“Leave it to me!” Dahe puts on a posture of priming for action, “Don’t stay up late, you girls. Go to sleep. We will go horse riding early tomorrow morning!”

On the way back, Qiu Xinyue tells Wuyou that Mark is an arrogant rich second generation. Depending on being rich, he often bullied overseas students. Several girls were drugged and gotten to his bed, and then were given a lot of money afterwards as the hush money.

“We’d better ignore him! If you have an accident abroad, your family won’t know it immediately, so you’d better stay away from him.”

Of course Wuyou will ignore that kind of person, but Mark deliberately gets close to her. The next day they go horse riding, Mark takes the initiative to talk to Wuyou. Wuyou is annoyed by him and rides a long way, but who knows he follows.

“Yo! You are good at riding.” Mark deliberately bumps the horse head against Wuyou’s horse. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Wuyou’s horse is frightened and its fore hoofs step back and forth a few times.

Wuyou touches the horse’s neck to appease it, and then glances at Mark, “Stay away from me.”

“Are the straight A students like you all arrogant so much?” Mark says casually, glancing at Wuyou’s face, “What the hell. I find that you look pretty! Last night I thought that Qiu Xinyue was the best-looking. Why do I erect when I look at you now?”

The man laughs obscenely, with a sordid look, and he even puts his hand on his crotch.

“Girl, don’t be shy! Take a look, is mine big or not?” He says, and uses the other hand to directly pull Wuyou’s reins.

Wuyou dismounts from the horse, picks up a branch on the ground and beats towards the butt of the horse.

“Whinny, whinny!” Mark’s horse raises its hoofs, roars and runs away in the blink of an eye.

Mark’s screams come from a distance. Wuyou rides on her horse and strolls slowly back to the manor.

“Wuyou!” Tai Jingjuan runs over, “Did you see Mark?”

Wuyou looks down at her from a height, and Tai Jingjuan steps back several steps with ineffable guilty, “What... What happened...?”

Wuyou ignores her and sends the horse into the stable.

Everyone returns after half an hour, but Mark has not returned.

“Wuyou, don’t you really know where he went?” Tai Jingjuan asks her again.

Wuyou gnaws a piece of melon, “Why should I know? I didn’t know him.”

“But he...” Didn’t he go to you...? Tai Jingjuan doesn’t dare to say the rest.

Dahe has already contacted the farm staff, and the other party is also very anxious. What if the horse runs away? So he drives out to look for him quickly. Ten minutes later, the men and the horse come back.

However, Mark is carried back.
