My Youth Began With Him

Little Bean handed a bottle to her.

Feeling too queasy to examine the bottle, Chen Yuning took it and gulped down a big mouthful of the liquid from it. Then she ran to the washroom and vomited.

In the dining room, Zhu Lingling glanced at Little Bean.

“My daughter-in-law, what did you give her? Why did she have such a huge reaction?”

“It’s durian-flavored juice…”

Zhu Lingling: “…”

Gao Ran: “…”

Gao Boyuan: “My Little Bean is very resourceful. With you here, we don’t need Auntie Huo Mian to help us.”

“Honey, seeing how we torture her, do you feel hurt inside?”

Zhu Lingling glanced at Gao Ran sitting next to her with a smirk.

“Ms. Zhu Lingling, don’t trap me… I won’t enter it… Why should I feel hurt for her? She’s nothing to me.”

Then Chen Yuning came out of the washroom with a pale face.

Her expression was very dark.

“Little Chen, are you okay?” Zhu Lingling asked.

“Sister Lingling, I’m fine. I don’t quite like the smell of durian; it’s stinky… I’m sorry that I embarrassed myself.”

In such a situation, she still could talk to Zhu Lingling without losing her temper. She was indeed a patient woman.

Huo Mian was right; this woman wasn’t easy to deal with.

“It’s fine. We’re glad you’re okay. Come on and eat some more.”

“No, I can’t. My stomach is queasy… Chief Gao, I’ve got to go.”

“So soon? You haven’t eaten yet.”

“I haven’t had an appetite lately. You guys go on with your meal.”

Chen Yuning thought she’d be butchered if she stayed, so she decided to leave as quick as possible.

“I’ll walk you out.”

Zhu Lingling stood up immediately.

“Good. Honey, you walk Little Chen out. I’ll take care of the kids while they eat.” Gao Ran agreed.

Then Zhu Lingling led Chen Yuning out of the building.

They didn’t speak on their way out and the atmosphere was quite tense.

Chen Yuning stopped as they came to the entrance of the complex.

“Sister Lingling, you’re very good. Truly…”

“Are you complimenting me or insulting me?” Zhu Lingling stared her in the eye.

“Of course I complimented you…”

“No. Compared with you, I’m not good. If I was, I’d not be targeted by evil people… Don’t you think so?”

Chen Yuning understood her meaning, but she wasn’t angry; instead, she smiled.

“Sister Lingling, I’ve always thought that a person must know their limitations.”

“Of course.” Zhu Lingling nodded.

“Chief Gao is an excellent man… If he had a better wife, he’d have a brighter future…”

“What do you mean?” Zhu Lingling’s face fell.

“It’s just my opinion. Sister Lingling, please don’t take it to heart. I’m a straight-forward person…”

“Bullshit. Straight-forward isn’t mean… My Old Gao is kind and tries not to make you feel bad, but you’re shameless. As a graduate from a well-known university, you’re pretty and have a good job, but you are full of schemes and try to steal another woman’s husband. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Your parents work hard in the rice noodle shop to support you; it’s not easy for them. But at their old age, their reputation is ruined because of you…”

“Sister Lingling, you can’t slander me… You don’t have any evidence to support your accusation.”

“Slander? Hehe. You know it better than anyone. Chen Yuning, I warn you: stop your attempts to seduce my Old Gao, or I’ll make you regret it.”

“Sister Lingling, do you know that everyone loves a good thing… If not me, some other women will do it. So, don’t be so tense with me. You look as ugly as a shrew in the market when your curse. I don’t understand why a guy as excellent as Chief Gao would put up with sleeping with a woman like you.”

Chen Yuning insulted Zhu Lingling without using a cursing word, but Zhu Lingling felt as if she was stabbed in the heart.
