Chapter 540: Chapter 467: What Are You Trying to Do?
Bai Junfan tried to take the bag from Yang Liu’er, but she dodged him again. Immediately, wary, condemning gazes turned toward him. Unable to maintain his composure, Bai Junfan finally lost his patience. He looked at Yang Liu’er, his voice low and cold.
"Stop making a scene! This is enough. Do you really want to make this an irreparable mess?"
Yang Liu’er turned to meet his gaze. She didn’t have to imitate his tone; her voice was already hoarse. "Do you think there’s anything left for us to repair?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I remember telling you... I can tolerate the Bai Family continuing to look down on me, not accepting me, not acknowledging me. As long as you love me and want to be with me, I will follow you with all my heart and never leave you! I was even prepared for us not to officially register our marriage by the time I’m thirty. As long as you didn’t marry someone else, I would be at peace. Because in Pan Kou Village, everyone knows we had our ceremony. They can all testify that we’re husband and wife. Who cares if we’re missing a piece of paper? But all of this was contingent on one thing: that your heart belonged only to me! Besides me, Yang Liu’er, you cannot give a single shred of affection to another woman—especially not to Tang Yaxuan! From our reunion and separation in Beijing two years ago until now, I’ve told you so many times that Tang Yaxuan is my enemy! My enemy! Have you forgotten all of that? And yet you openly brought her into the new home I poured my heart and soul into decorating, let her sleep in my new bed, hold my..."
Yang Liu’er grew more agitated as she spoke. She snapped her eyes shut and took a deep breath. If she didn’t, she would have lost control and screamed, and people would have thought she was insane.
A bus pulled up and then departed, taking most of the waiting crowd with it. Only a few people remained scattered about—an elderly couple, a child—none of whom were looking their way.
Bai Junfan put his arm around Yang Liu’er’s shoulder and sighed. "Look at you, still so petty. How old is Xuanxuan, anyway? Last night, Xuanxuan and I were just..."
"Shut up!" Yang Liu’er bit her lip violently and struggled with all her might to break free from him. She finally lost all control. Tossing everything to the ground, she clamped her hands over her ears and shrieked hysterically.
"Don’t you dare mention Tang Yaxuan... I don’t want to hear you call her Xuanxuan! I don’t, I don’t, I don’t! AAAAAHHHH!"
’To make such a scene in public, with absolutely no sense of shame. Just as I thought, a girl raised in the countryside really can’t compare to one from the city. Her manners, her perspective... they’re worlds apart!’ Bai Junfan frowned as he watched Yang Liu’er’s meltdown. He managed to appear calm on the surface, but inside he was drowning in anger.
He made up his mind. ’From now on, I have to discipline this woman properly. I can’t spoil or indulge her anymore. Otherwise, it will only encourage her willfulness and insolence. If she keeps this up, she won’t get far in life before she crashes and burns.’
Yang Liu’er, overwrought with emotion, ran off the curb and into the street. She clutched her head and let out a few more screams before gradually calming down, standing in place and panting for breath.
Bai Junfan was furious inside. Seeing that no cars were coming, he decided to give her the cold shoulder, standing silently on the curb with his lips pressed into a thin line as he watched her. An elderly man and woman by the bus stop sign, however, grew anxious. They waved their hands at Yang Liu’er and shouted.
"Miss, you’ll get hit by a car standing there! It’s dangerous!"
"Miss, come back!"
Yang Liu’er lowered her hands from her head and stood woodenly for a moment. She turned to the side and nodded at the elderly couple by the sign, but she didn’t look at Bai Junfan. Instead, she started walking directly across the street.
In Huaxia at that time, even in a city like Beijing, there weren’t that many cars. Traffic police were scarce, so busy directing vehicles at intersections that they had no time to patrol. As a result, people jaywalked casually, with pedestrians and cars simply dodging one another to get by. Everyone knew it was unsafe, but most people in Huaxia were willing to take the risk for the sake of convenience.
Bai Junfan watched as Yang Liu’er weaved through the traffic amid the screech of brakes and the shouts of angry drivers. His face turned pale with rage, but he remained rooted to the spot, his eyes locked on her. ’Let’s see just how far this woman is willing to take this tantrum!’
But to his surprise, after looking left and right a couple of times on the other side of the street, Yang Liu’er didn’t hail a taxi. Instead, a black Hongqi sedan pulled up right in front of her. Yang Liu’er ducked her head to look inside, and a smile spread across her face as she walked over and opened the door.
Bai Junfan couldn’t stand still any longer. "Liu’er!" he shouted twice, striding into the road. But it was too late. Yang Liu’er ducked into the car, and the Hongqi merged into the flow of traffic, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
Bai Junfan stood where Yang Liu’er had been just moments before, staring in the direction the Hongqi had vanished. He clenched his jaw, his expression shifting from pale to dark, as gloomy as a sky before a storm.
He had excellent eyesight and could see clearly that the Hongqi sedan belonged to the Gu family. Even though the windows were veiled with light green gauze curtains, preventing anyone from seeing inside, Bai Junfan’s gut told him the driver was Gu Shaojun, and that he was likely alone in the car.
’Luring my woman into his car... what is Gu Shaojun trying to do?’
