Chapter 536: Chapter 536: Afraid of the Wife

Tang Chuxia was lying in bed when she expressed to Gu Beihuai, “I never want to go to fetch the bride again!”

Gu Beihuai, unable to hold back his smile, took off her shoes and reminded her, “Your second brother hasn’t had his wedding yet, and there’s your youngest brother. As the younger sister-in-law, if you don’t go, who will?”

Tang Chuxia: …

Such a life, whoever wants it can have it.

It’s torture, I feel like my butt is going to split into eight pieces!

The next day, the newlyweds had to pay a visit to the parents and give gifts to relatives at home.

The Tang Family had many relatives, and after making their rounds, Tang Chuxia said to Gu Beihuai, “Luckily, we don’t have such a ceremony, it looks so troublesome!”

Gu Beihuai: …

To avoid having a wedding, you really dare say anything as an excuse.

When it came time to give a gift to the second brother, Third Brother said to the third sister-in-law, “A guy who hasn’t even brought home a bride doesn’t get a gift!”

Second brother: …

Is that something you say?

Words coming out from his own younger brother?

If it hadn’t been for seeing the third brother get married today, the second brother would have definitely given him a piece of his mind.

It was infuriating.

Tang Chuxia was laughing so hard on the side that her stomach hurt.

When it was time to give a gift to the youngest brother, Third Brother spoke again to the third sister-in-law, “Don’t take it too seriously, just a coward who went into hiding after being tricked — doesn’t need too much attention!”

The youngest brother was grinding his teeth in anger.

“Third Brother, just because you have a wife and the eldest brother also has a wife, that doesn’t mean you can show off like this!”

The youngest brother’s sulky look seemed to amuse the Third Brother a lot.

“Exactly, I have a wife and I’m happy, you don’t have one so I just want to show off to you!”

They always knew Third Brother was sharp-witted, but when he spoke, it was especially aggravating; but now they realized it was not just aggravating, it was deadly.

The key issue was that he was annoying.

Even the third sister-in-law couldn’t bear it anymore. Though she had intended to maintain a gentle and virtuous demeanor, she couldn’t help but grab Third Brother’s hand, “Honey, I don’t want to be in a bad mood today!”

Third brother: …

Seeing the look on Third Brother’s face as he backed down, Tang Chuxia nearly burst out in laughter.

Third Brother had his day too?

She had indeed seen it all.

She couldn’t help but say to Gu Beihuai, “Take a lesson!”

Gu Beihuai was on the verge of retorting, what was this the time to learn? Should he learn how Third Brother got a scared look from just one glance from his wife or learn how Third Brother teased people?

Clearly, Gu Beihuai was wise enough not to say these out loud but just nodded, whatever his wife said was right.

Just for that, Tang Chuxia thought he could still be groomed a bit more.

Madam Tang watched the scene but wasn’t upset, instead, she found their reactions amusing, jokily telling them, “Alright, that’s enough, Third Brother stop showing off; you might cause people to resent you!”

Tang Jianzheng reluctantly agreed.

With the whole family gathered, even the second brother had brought Bai Yingyue along, though Bai Yingyue held a special status, everyone took good care of her.

Bai Yingyue, not self-conscious of being a film star since she was away from the stage, was just another ordinary person.

Yet, watching others get married, she still felt envious.

Tang Chuxia reminded her, “Second sister-in-law, logically, you and Second Brother should have gotten married before Third Brother could. Now, neither of you are married, yet Third Brother already did, so you need to hurry up!”

Hearing this, Bai Yingyue’s face turned red. She glanced at Tang Jianjun.

Tang Jianjun immediately replied, “If you nod, I’ll go apply right away!”

Everyone wants to get married; it’s mostly about what the woman thinks.

Bai Yingyue’s face turned even redder. She hesitated, afraid that Tang Jianjun would really go apply immediately.

But being cornered like this, if she dared to disagree, she assumed that Tang Jianjun would get mad at her. So, for the sake of a happy future life, she said, “Go ask my parents. If they agree, then apply!”

This issue really had no problem.

It still had to be done with the parents’ consent.

Tang Jianjun wasn’t one to play mind games. Upon hearing her statement, he immediately said he would ask his future in-laws.

Madam Tang couldn’t stand it anymore and smacked Tang Jianjun on the back of his head, “Show some seriousness. Isn’t arranging the marriage something for me and the in-laws to worry about?”

Such matters needed to be discussed with respect and importance by the elders.

Tang Jianjun felt wronged, but since it was his own mother acting, he couldn’t do much but express his thoughts, “Mom, please hurry!”

Madam Tang: …

She really wanted to throw this embarrassing son out.

With laughter, the atmosphere lightened.

Only one person’s expression wasn’t too good – Father Tang.

He said, “Always running to your mother for everything; am I just a decoration?”

While everyone heard him, no one responded. If they had to say something, they probably thought, “How did you know?”

Seeing that none of her four brothers wanted to join the conversation, Tang Chuxia was even less inclined. Who knew if starting a conversation would lead to Father Tang targeting her as the sole outlet for a never-ending tirade?

Adhering to the idea that silence meant no involvement, Tang Chuxia stayed close to her eldest nephew, even avoiding her sisters-in-law.

Father Tang noticed that his family wasn’t enthusiastic towards him. He wanted to storm off, but feared Madam Tang’s disdain, so he restrained himself.

Third Brother wouldn’t be home for long. Though there were wedding preparations, due to some reasons, Tang Jianzheng had to leave.

On the night he left, Third Brother called Tang Chuxia into the study.

“Do you still remember when I was schemed against and stranded on that island?”

Of course, Tang Chuxia remembered; she subconsciously thought of the things on that island and couldn’t help asking, “Third Brother, are there some investigative results about those things?”

Tang Jianzheng nodded.

“Actually, I knew some details before, but it wasn’t all entirely public, so I hadn’t mentioned it.”

“Are you rushing back because there are many complications?” Tang Chuxia was somewhat worried. Although she didn’t want to investigate those matters herself, it didn’t mean she was unaware of the trouble their exposure could cause.

More than those objects, Tang Chuxia couldn’t forget seeing Tang Jianzheng hanging from the cliff, nor the things flying overhead.

She understood too well that under those circumstances, Tang Jianzheng’s lack of mad revenge wasn’t because he didn’t want to, but because he was sensible enough.

Now, half a year later, he was finally ready to strike back. How could Tang Chuxia, as his sister, not cooperate?

“Do you need my help?”

Tang Chuxia’s five senses were extraordinary, and considering her astounding strength, if she went with Tang Jianzheng, they might achieve unexpected results.

Tang Jianzheng nodded: “Needed!”

Tang Chuxia: …

She rolled her eyes.

“Third Brother, you really know how to manipulate people!”

“But you’re not going on a honeymoon right after getting married and instead going on a mission. Won’t third sister-in-law complain?”
