Chapter 1630: An Unexpected Scene

Although Ling Hui knew that it was impossible for them to be together, she did not want to become enemies.

Ling Hui glanced at the seat he and Lin Yanyan had sat in and a sense of helplessness rose in her heart.

…

Lin Yanyan and Tang Xi returned to the hotel.

Lin Yanyan was very happy tonight. She had been observing Tang Xi since a long time ago and had heard some things about him.

She learned from Tang Fei that the goddess Tang Xi had a crush on was Ling Hui.

Seeing Tang Xi make Ling Hui sad for her sake, Lin Yanyan felt relieved and happy.

Ling Hui had been in the limelight in the jewelry industry for the past two years and her peers inevitably compared her to Ling Hui. She had long disliked Ling Hui.

Fortunately, her father bought the company Ling Hui had founded for her. Now, Tang Xi had given up on Ling Hui.

She was the winner in life!

The two of them went out of the elevator and Lin Yanyan followed behind Tang Xi. When Tang Xi saw this, he stopped swiping his card and raised his eyebrows at Lin Yanyan. “Miss Lin, it’s late. Aren’t you going back to your room to rest?”

Lin Yanyan was slightly stunned when she heard Tang Xi’s words.

Tang Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, looking arrogant and slightly impatient.

Lin Yanyan’s heart sank.

He had not given her the jade hairpin he had taken tonight, had he?

When he left the auction venue, he had asked Fang Ye to settle the procedures. Now, it should be done!

“Young Master Tang, I didn’t expect you to spend so much money on me tonight. I’ll keep that jade hairpin properly in the future!”

The moment Lin Yanyan finished speaking, she heard Tang Xi laugh.

When Tang Xi smiled, he looked really good, like a bad devil.

But now, his smile was slightly mocking.

Lin Yanyan pursed her lips. “Young Master Tang, what’s wrong?”

Tang Xi’s tall body approached Lin Yanyan and his handsome face enlarged. Looking into his bright and devilish eyes, Lin Yanyan’s heart skipped a beat.

Just when she thought that Tang Xi was going to kiss her, his lazy voice sounded above her head. “Miss Lin seems to be thinking too much. If it’s for you, there’s really no need to spend so much money.”

Lin Yanyan’s expression changed.

Was he giving it to Ling Hui?

“It’s getting late and I’m a little tired today. I won’t accompany Miss Lin anymore.” Without giving Lin Yanyan a chance to speak, Tang Xi swiped the room card and entered the room.

Lin Yanyan wanted to chase after him and ask him about it. Bang! The door was flung shut and she almost hit her nose.

Lin Yanyan’s good mood from the night immediately disappeared.

…

After Tang Xi returned to his room, he took a simple shower.

He wore a navy blue nightgown and stood on the balcony, twirling the wine glass in his hand.

He was tall and imposing, but there was a faint loneliness in his stature.

Not too long later, Fang Ye, who had finished the procedures, came over with the jade hairpin.

“Young Master, take a look.”

Taking the exquisite box from Fang Ye, Tang Xi opened it and took out the jade hairpin inside.

Taking a closer look, the jade hairpin was slightly worn and there was a very small word ‘Yu’ carved on the back.

“Young Master, why don’t you explain to Princess Ling Hui clearly that this is your mother’s jade hairpin?”

Tang Xi’s eyes were unreadable. “There’s nothing to explain.”

She wanted this jade hairpin. Did the Dai family have one as well?

If this had happened in the past, he would definitely find out. But now, there was no need.

Fang Ye looked at Tang Xi, who was staring at the jade hairpin without saying anything. He knew very well that Young Master felt worse than anyone else because he could not be with Princess Ling Hui.

However, such was their fate!

…

Ling Hui could not get the jade hairpin and had to return to her country.

She did not tell her father that the jade hairpin had been taken away by Tang Xi.

After returning from the auction, Ling Hui learned that Gu Meng and Ye Qing’s wedding date had been set.

Gu Meng planned to open another studio in the capital. Because she was not familiar with opening a company, she asked Ling Hui to help her out in the capital.

Ling Hui naturally took Gu Meng’s matters to heart.

After she arranged everything there, she followed Gu Meng to the capital.

There, the two of them opened another studio.

Gu Meng was about to marry Ye Qing and since she was also Dai Xuan’s daughter, the studio also received many orders.

Because Gu Meng was too busy, Ling Hui took over several orders.

One of the ladies said that she sprained her ankle two days ago and could not come to the studio. As such, Ling Hui had no choice but to go over personally.

That lady lived in a villa halfway up the mountain in the wealthy district. It was an antique courtyard style.

After Ling Hui went over, the servant brought Ling Hui into the villa.

A woman in a cheongsam was sitting on the sofa with a walking stick beside her.

Seeing Ling Hui coming over, the woman said apologetically, “I’m sorry for making you make a trip here.”

“It’s alright, Madam Liu.”

The woman smiled. “My surname is Liu, but I’m not Madam Liu. My husband’s surname is Tang.”

Surnamed Tang?

Ling Hui was slightly stunned.

Ling Hui had been too busy recently and had not paid attention to her body. Her teeth were hurting and her face was swollen. In addition, she had accidentally eaten something that had caused an allergic reaction, and there were some rashes on her face. Her appearance now was quite different from her usual cold and beautiful appearance.

Liu Ping did not recognize Ling Hui and thought that she was just an ordinary designer in Gu Meng’s studio.

“Mrs Tang, what style of jewelry do you want us to design?”

“I want to wear it when I get married. Can you show me the designs available?”

Ling Hui nodded and took out the iPad for Liu Ping to see.

More than an hour later.

Ling Hui communicated with Liu Ping and before she left, she asked shyly, “Madam Tang, can I borrow your washroom?”

“Walk forward and turn left.”

“Alright, thank you, Madam Tang.”

…

Ling Hui came out of the washroom and did not see Liu Ping in the living room. Due to her upbringing, she could not leave without a word. She walked around the living room and heard Liu Ping’s voice coming from downstairs. She walked forward.

There seemed to be a storage room at the bottom of the stairs. Liu Ping was talking to the servant. “Why is her portrait still here?”

“Madam, Young Master won’t let me throw it away.”

It was not good to eavesdrop. Ling Hui planned to leave, but she saw Madam Tang take the portrait from the servant and smash it on the ground.

The portrait was broken and before Mrs Tang left, she even stepped on it.

“When Old Master and Young Master return, tell them that you broke it accidentally.”

“Y-Yes, Madam.”

Ling Hui pursed her lips tightly together. Seeing that Mrs Tang had come up from downstairs, she was about to leave when Father Tang and Tang Xi’s voices came from the door.

Before Ling Hui could think, her legs brought her back to the washroom unconsciously.

When she stood in the washroom and looked at herself in the mirror, she frowned.

Why did she have to feel so guilty?

Before coming here, she had not known that this was Tang Xi’s parents’ house!

Wait, could that portrait belong to Tang Xi’s biological mother?
