Wen Nan saw Tang Beibei’s confused face and explained guiltily, “Mr. Chen didn’t tell you probably because he didn’t want you to know the secret.” “Sigh, Mr. Chen is really something. We all know that his legs are fine. You’re his wife, what’s there to hide?”
Tang Beibei was shocked again. “You all know?”
“That’s right. Didn’t you want to give him a massage or some therapy? I wanted to tell you, but Mr. Chen wouldn’t let me. Beibei, you’re still in the dark. Sigh, you poor thing.”
Tang Beibei was stunned. Why didn’t Jiang Jingchen tell her that his legs had recovered? Why did he make her worry?
“So, the person who saved me at the bar last time and carried me away was Jiang Jingchen.”
“That’s right. Mr. Chen didn’t even tell you such an important thing and played you for a fool.” Wen Nan revealed a look of sympathy. She was secretly happy as she watched Tang Beibei’s pale face.
He treated Tang Beibei like a fool, yet she still thought that he doted on her.
She was just a new toy that would be thrown away when he got tired of playing with it.
“Beibei, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Auntie Lin. Auntie Lin saw Young Master stand up and walk.” Wen Nan added.
Tang Beibei didn’t believe her. She turned and went to the kitchen. “Auntie Lin, did you see Jiang Jingchen stand up and walk? Are his legs okay?”
Auntie Lin hesitated, but when she saw Wen Nan nod behind Tang Beibei, she nodded.
“That’s right, Mrs. Jiang. You still don’t know?”
“Sigh, maybe Mr. Jiang doesn’t want you to know. You’re young and don’t know how be considerate or take care of others. You even need Mr. Jiang to take care of you. It’s understandable that he doesn’t want you to know.”
Tang Beibei already had low self-esteem. When she heard Auntie Lin’s words, she walked out of the kitchen, her head hanging in shame and her face even paler.
Auntie Lin continued, “Mrs. Jiang, I’ve told you what Mr. Jiang doesn’t want you to know. Please don’t tell Mr. Jiang that I told you. If he gets angry, I’ll lose my job.”
Tang Beibei felt the onset of a headache, but she said, “1 won’t tell him that you said this. Don’t worry.”
“That’s good. Thank you.”
Auntie Lin looked at the woman’s ghostly pale face and said, “Mr. Jiang is a young master of the Jiang family. Once his legs recover and the scars on his face are removed, many women would flock to him, hoping to be his woman.” “Mrs. Jiang, think about what’s good about you… Sigh, I’m a straightforward person. Don’t be unhappy when 1 say these unpleasant words.”
Although Auntie Lin addressed her as Mrs. Jiang, there wasn’t much respect in her tone. Instead, it contained mockery.
Auntie Lin looked down on Tang Beibei, whether it was her status or her upbringing.
She couldn’t help but want to add on. “Mr. Jiang is of noble status. A woman who is worthy of him should be of a similar status or be especially beautiful, elegant, and dignified.”
“Mrs. Jiang, your background… Mr. Jiang hid this information from you probably because he’s waiting for the right time to divorce you.”
Wen Nan tried to discourage Auntie Lin, “Auntie Lin, you shouldn’t say that. Beibei is already married to Mr. Chen. How can you talk about divorce?”
Auntie Lin sighed. “I heard Mr. Jiang say that he didn’t choose Mrs. Jiang himself. His family forced him to marry you. So, this marriage isn’t what Mr. Jiang wanted. There must be a better woman for Mr. Jiang.”
Wen Nan berated, “Auntie Lin, you’re disrespecting Beibei. No matter what, she’s still the mistress of this house.”
Auntie Lin argued, “Mr. Jiang is kind enough to let me stay and will pay me when my probation period is over. Naturally, 1 must take his side. It’s not that I don’t respect Mrs. Jiang, but I’m just telling the truth, Mrs. Jiang.”
Tang Beibei’s lips twitched painfully. She didn’t want to listen anymore. She wanted to go upstairs.
Wen Nan pulled her back. “Beibei, please don’t tell Mr. Chen what we told you all this. He will get angry and punish us.”
Tang Beibei pursed her lips and removed Wen Nan’s hand. “I won’t tell him, don’t worry. I’m going upstairs now.”
Seeing Tang Beibei stagger upstairs, Wen Nan smiled. Shen then turned and looked at Auntie Lin with fear and anxiety.
“Auntie Lin, will Beibei be angry that we said those things about her?”
Auntie Lin scoffed, “Why should she be angry? We were just telling the truth. When 1 first heard that Mr. Jiang was married, I thought that his wife would be someone outstanding since Mr. Jiang is so good.”
“But Tang Beibei… She’s a little girl who knows nothing and needs Mr. Jiang to take care of her. She’s not worthy of Mr. Jiang, and she brings no value to the union.”
Wen Nan replied, “You can’t say that. Beibei has her strengths too. She’s doing well in school and is very likable. There are many outstanding boys pursuing her and she’s on good terms with them.”
Auntie Lin frowned and felt bad for Mr. Jiang. “If there are many men pursuing her, she’s a promiscuous woman and that’s even worse!”
Upstairs, Tang Beibei turned on the music to start her dance practice.
However, it was not music that lingered in his ears, but Auntie Lin’s words.
She was like a loudspeaker beside her ear. Her voice was so loud that it gave her a headache. Tang Beibei shook her head to shake off the voice, but she couldn’t no matter how hard she tried.
She was not worthy of Jiang Jingchen.
His legs had recovered. He was the first young master of the Jiang family and was of noble status. There would be a more suitable woman who would become his future wife.
As for her, she was a little girl who had nothing and had achieved nothing. She even needed him to take care of her. If she hadn’t married him in Rong Mei’er’s place, she would be nowhere near him.
She didn’t know why, but her heart ached whenever she took a breath.
She felt that her cheeks were wet, and she tasted a salty taste at the corner of her mouth.
She turned to look in the mirror and realized that she was crying.
She was crying miserably.
She quickly wiped away her tears. She was not pretty to begin with. Her crying was so ugly that it would make people despise her even more.
However, after wiping her tears again and again, her tears continued to fall.
She hated herself for being like this. Her emotions were completely out of control, and she could not control her tears at all.
Suddenly, she heard the door open. She quickly covered her face with her hands and turned to look out the window.
“Beibei, how’s your practice? Do you need my help?” It was Jiang Jingchen.
Tang Beibei said in a hoarse voice, “I need to practice for a while more. 1 don’t need your help.”
Jiang Jingchen heard her hoarse voice and wheeled himself next to her. “Beibei, what’s wrong with your voice?”
He was observant, and she was not very good at acting. She could not hide her crying voice at all.
She turned to look at the man in the wheelchair. Although there were scars on half his face, she didn’t think that he was ugly. Instead, she got used to seeing those scars.
However, at this moment, she looked at those scars and felt upset.
It was as if someone had cut her, leaving behind an open, bleeding wound.
She knelt in front of him and placed her hands on his knees. “Hubby, how are your legs now?”
Jiang Jingchen frowned unhappily when he saw her kneeling on the floor.
In his heart, she was supreme and shouldn’t kneel for anything.
He held her hands to pull her up when he realized that her palms were cold. “My legs will recover. Beibei, your eyes are red. Were you crying just now?”
Tang Beibei stared at him, her eyes turning red uncontrollably.
He was still lying..
