Chapter 188 - The End Year Party (2)

"Well, he originally wants to come but he could only return back to City A late at night, so he's not here yet." Kang San Hai scratched the back of his head. The military had so many regulations that even he felt a bit suffocated when he thought about his brother and the fact that his brother had to stay within the military compound most of the time.

It would be impossible for Kang San Hao to spend so much time home as his day offs were severely limited.

"That's too bad."

Kang San Hai nodded in agreement. It was then he noticed Long Ying, who was giving him cold gaze. His mind worked faster as he quickly greeted. "Cousin in law! Sorry, I didn't greet you sooner."

Long Ying nodded but didn't retract his cold gaze.

Seeing the unfriendliness from Long Ying, Kang San Hai only felt his back was filled with cold sweat as he sighed to himself. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to interact properly with Yu Yan's husband without making him looked bad. He just forgot because he hadn't seen Yu Yan for so long!

"I can't believe you disappear like that so quickly! Oh right, have you heard the news that…"

Before Kang San Hai could continue, his line of sight fell on the couple who just entered the back garden. His dark eyes flashed with slight disgust and anger that was concealed rather quickly.

Yu Yan arched her eyebrows and turned around. Upon seeing the figures at the back, her eyes also narrowed.

Kang Mao Lan and Yu Zheng Tong. From Yu Zheng Tong tired expression, it was clear that he was having storms at his home because of his recent bad business. On the other hand, Kang Mao Lan was also in bad shape, but she skillfully hid her complexion with makeup.

Right now, the two of them also walked inside and they naturally spotted Yu Yan.

Kang Mao Lan's face turned even sourer. "What in the world a b*tch like you even doing in a place like this? You're not worthy to be here!"

Yu Yan was amused at her mother's words. "What makes you think that you have the right to judge me? We're not related to each other anymore and why I can be here is not your business."

"What do you mean it's not my business? A wretched girl like you can never step in Long Family Residence! You must have employed some dirty trick! Speak, who did you sle…."

"Mrs. Yu, if you can't take care of your mouth, would you like me to stitch it for you?" Yu Yan didn't let Kang Mao Lan finish her words. Her gaze was cold as she looked at her biological mother, who didn't even treat her as the other party's daughter. "Do you really think that Long Family will play along with those who employs trick without realizing that they've been tricked? 

Mrs. Yu, do you have any evidence to prove your words. If you have none, you're simply slandering Long Family and I don't think that you can speak simply for such a family with long tradition?" Yu Yan continued with a cold smile plastered on her lips. 

She knew that Kang Mao Lan was capable of saying nonsense to the point of making up story. Before that happened, it would be better for her to be the one to take control of the speech and made sure that she clarified the matter first. 

"I'm not…."

"Are you saying that there are people who would dare to fake the invitation letter sent by Long Family?" Yu Yan asked again. "If that happens, don't you think that someone like you can also put into question, Mrs. Yu? With your current condition, do you even deserve to stand in this place?"

With each question, Kang Mao Lan's face turned paler. It was true that the one who got invited was only her husband but it was common for them to bring their family members to the party. It was not considered something new and many other guests were also employing the same tactic.

Yu Zheng Tong quickly pulled Kang Mao Lan back to prevent her from spouting more nonsense. "Please pardon my wife, Mrs. Long. She's a bit too emotional and thus unable to keep her mouth in check."

"It's fine." Yu Yan smiled. "You just have to make sure that you can keep your wife's mouth in check, Mr. Yu."

"Please excuse us."

As Yu Zheng Tong pulled Kang Mao Lan away, Kang Mao Lan was thoroughly enraged. How could she not see that Yu Zheng Tong was basically admitting that she was not of proper conduct in front of that b*tch? She could not accept this humiliation!

"Why do you…"

"Kang Mao Lan, please stop." Yu Zheng Tong looked at his wife. He was feeling very tired. There was never any place for him to rest properly as he had to keep his feelings in check just to make sure that his company could stand firm. All this time, there was never even a chance for him to rest at home.

Facing the world outside trying to bring his company down and facing his wife who couldn't even keep herself in check.

He felt tired, so tired that he didn't want to give a damn about her feelings anymore. All this time, he had always tolerated whatever Kang Mao Lan did, but now that she was threatening to make him lose face, he couldn't stand it anymore.

"What are you doing, Yu Zheng Tong?!" Kang Mao Lan was annoyed. She looked at her husband with fierce gaze. "Don't you dare to reprimand me or I'll divorce you!"

It was the same usual threat that she had given Yu Zheng Tong various times in the past. If it was when Kang Mao Lan still had the share that was valuable, Yu Zheng Tong would listen to her more.. But now that he was feeling extremely tired and knew that he might not even keep his company anymore, he simply passed a look at his wife but said nothing.
