My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty
Chapter 214 Collapse

Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Collapse

Tang Chuxia rubbed her eyes, observing the family looking at her with strange expressions, which left her feeling dizzy.

"What’s wrong with you all?"

She spoke first but then heard Licorice exclaim, "Sister Xiaxia, your face..."

Although Tang Chuxia didn’t usually care much about her appearance, she knew she would be devastated if something was wrong with her face.

Tang Chuxia quickly went to look in the mirror.

Seeing the situation in the mirror...

Tang Chuxia uncertainly pinched her face...

Aaaaahhhhh!!!!

Screams filled the room.

Everyone wisely covered their ears in advance.

Tang Chuxia turned around to look at Madam Tang, "Who? Who did this?"

Tang Jianbing hurriedly tried to calm her, "Honestly, no one. Is there a possibility that you didn’t wash your face when you came back yesterday?"

Tang Chuxia collapsed; looking at her pitch-black face in the mirror, she absolutely could not accept it.

Although she didn’t care much about her skin tone, turning from pale to charcoal black was something nobody could accept.

Madam Tang smiled, approached, and pinched Tang Chuxia’s face with her fingers, twisting her thumb and forefinger together, and surprisingly, it could be wiped off.

"Go wash quickly, it must be dirt!"

Tang Chuxia didn’t have time to seek out the so-called culprit, and hurriedly washed her face. After scrubbing several times with soap, to the point her skin almost peeled, only then Licorice said she was clean.

Tang Chuxia took the mirror, looked at her reflection, and fell silent again.

If the charcoal black appearance had shocked her, her current appearance, like a peeled egg, fair and with a healthy blush, was precisely the infant skin that people admired most.

She pinched her own face; it hurt.

"Mom, what happened to me?"

Tang Chuxia asked Madam Tang for help, who shook her head, "I don’t know either, why don’t you go ask Aunt Hong?"

Tang Chuxia thought that was a good idea, as Aunt Hong was a doctor. She was about to go out but then pulled back her foot, recalling yesterday’s events, and hastily returned to her room to search through her bed.

Nothing was there.

"Mom, have you seen the piece of jade I placed by my pillow?"

Unable to find it and remembering Madam Tang had been in her room early in the morning, Tang Chuxia hurried to find Madam Tang, who handed her a pancake and told her to eat first.

"No, when I went to your room, I just saw your face was pitch black. There was nothing on the pillow but black ash!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

The blow was too severe; she rolled up her sleeves and sank into contemplation, as she had only focused on washing her face and hands, neglecting her body.

Then it got better; the body was just as messy, but much of it had been rubbed off by her clothes, which she hadn’t noticed until now.

Tang Chuxia put down the pancake and ran back to her room to dig out her bathing supplies, then dashed off.

Behind her, the elder sister-in-law and Licorice were laughing so hard they slapped their thighs.

"It’s my first time seeing Xiaxia in such a mess!" the elder sister-in-law said, holding her stomach in jest.

Madam Tang also laughed, "She always loves to be clean, and then today this happened!"

Mr. Tang and others came out, though they said nothing, the mood lightened a lot because of Tang Chuxia’s reaction.

But Mr. Tang looked at Madam Tang with an inquisitive gaze.

Madam Tang, uninterested in dealing with him, finished her meal and instructed her daughter-in-law and Licorice to go to the hospital if anything happened and to call her.

Tang Jianjun and his brothers had things to attend to and ran off; Father Tang followed Madam Tang, but as soon as he started talking, Madam Tang told him to shut up.

Father Tang felt deeply wronged, but he hadn’t gotten far when he ran into Hu Mingcheng’s father.

"Mr. Tang, I need to talk to you about something!"

With Mr. Hu initiating the conversation, Father Tang had no choice but to ask his wife to wait for him slowly and started talking with Mr. Hu.

Madam Tang was already impatient and, of course, wouldn’t wait for him. She just sped up and boarded the bus.

Father Tang watched his wife leave, speaking in a very annoyed tone.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Mr. Hu also sensed Father Tang’s resentment but couldn’t just remain silent.

"Well, I was planning to find Yang Chao, and I wanted your advice. Should I go before the New Year or after?"

Father Tang thought Mr. Hu was being ridiculous.

"Whenever you want to go, just go. Why ask me?"

Father Tang didn’t like hearing the name Yang Chao, and Mr. Hu felt a bit embarrassed. "It’s just that the two kids are already together; they should indeed have a wedding!"

Mr. Hu knew Father Tang didn’t want to hear it, "That child from the Yang Family is in Quan City. I’ve tried talking to him before, but he wouldn’t even let me speak. I think he definitely doesn’t want to deal with Wanqiu, so it’s better to reach out to her real father!"

Father Tang also disliked Tang Wanqiu now. "Then just go find him!"

Mr. Hu sighed, "I’m not familiar with Yang Chao, so I thought you could introduce us!"

Father Tang yelled, "What does that have to do with me? You’re the in-laws; you go meet him yourself!"

After shouting, Father Tang just walked away, not wanting to deal with Mr. Hu anymore.

Mr. Hu rubbed his chin, a look of certainty on his face, "He’s surely jealous! After so many years, with several kids of their own, why is he still hung up on this!"

If Father Tang had heard that, he would definitely have come back to fight with him.

Mr. Hu then felt a headache coming on. Needing someone to make the introductions to Yang Chao, and with Father Tang disagreeing, he had no choice but to turn to Wen Wenqing.

But let’s put that aside for now and talk about Gu Beihuai, who had been busy all night.

He rubbed the back of his neck as he stepped out of the room, and Qin Zhan handed him a glass of water, which he gulped down in one breath.

The strong tea made him much more alert.

"Is it confirmed?" Qin Zhan had been waiting all night because after that young man was brought back, Gu Beihuai and Third Grandpa had ordered everyone not to come close. Gu Beihuai conducted the interrogation alone, and then Third Grandpa joined him.

Their discussions were confidential, and Qin Zhan couldn’t listen in.

"It’s confirmed, it’s Earth Dragon!"

Qin Zhan looked furious.

Originally, when Groundhog had died, he had been deeply saddened and, entrusted by Groundhog, promised to take care of his brother Earth Dragon, but they had never found him.

"That’s impossible, Earth Dragon doesn’t look like that!"

Gu Beihuai sighed, "I wasn’t sure at first, but he mentioned many things about when he was with Groundhog. Plus, he shared a secret Groundhog told me before he died!"

Groundhog and Earth Dragon were brothers, close to each other, and they had both seen photos of Earth Dragon.

But now, Earth Dragon turned out to be part of Qingzhu.

"He joined Qingzhu to seek revenge for Groundhog, but after joining, he was controlled. Third Grandpa helped examine and found that there’s a potent poison in Earth Dragon’s body, probably how those people are controlling him!"

After Gu Beihuai finished speaking, Qin Zhan felt like killing someone.

How could they do something like this?

"But Third Grandpa has already helped suppress the toxicity. Earth Dragon disclosed a lot of information, and it looks like we’ll be busy after the New Year!"

Gu Beihuai gave out the information, and Qin Zhan acknowledged with a sound, "Should we still let Haipeng participate?"

Wu Haipeng was about to get married.

Gu Beihuai thought of a certain woman who had left with that stinky Taoist.

He gritted his teeth, "His leg hasn’t even healed yet!"
