Chapter 13: You’re Taking Advantage Of My Kindness
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Tang Beibei was curious how she was supposed to borrow luck.
She heard the man say, “To borrow luck, you have to go through a special ceremony. For example, kissing.”
Tang Beibei’s tiny face flushed red. She lowered her eyes and avoided looking at Jiang Jingchen.
“Beibei, shall I lend you my good luck?” Jiang Jingchen bent down and whispered in her ear.
Of course, Tang Beibei wanted good luck, but she was a little shy to kiss him.
Jiang Jingchen waited for a few seconds, but Tang Beibei didn’t move. He lifted her chin and gave her a peck on the lips.
“I’m giving you my good luck.”
Tang Beibei was stunned and looked at him in a daze.
He actually kissed her.
She didn’t hate it. Instead, her heartbeat accelerated and she felt dizzy.
“Beibei, you can do the lucky draw now.”
The man’s voice was deep and bore a hint of joy.
Tang Beibei snapped out of her daze and quickly got up to draw her prize.
She drew a slip from the depths of the lucky draw box and opened it. The number 88 was written on it.
“What does 88 mean?”
The shop assistant explained excitedly, “Number 88 is the special prize. Congratulations, madam. The special prize means that all the clothes you buy will be at a 10% discount. For jewelry and shoes, it’s buy one get one free.” “Wow, hubby, you’re really lucky. We get 10% discount!”
“It’s rare to get 10% off. You should buy more.”
Jiang Jingchen asked the shop assistant to wrap up the clothes that Tang Beibei wasn’t sure about before and Tang Beibei didn’t refuse.
There were more than 20 bags of all sizes, but the shop assistant said it only cost a little more than 150 yuan.
Tang Beibei stared at the shop assistant in disbelief. “One hundred and fifty eight yuan? That’s too cheap!”
The shop assistant smiled awkwardly. “Yes, these clothes weren’t expensive to begin with, and you got a 10% discount.”
“I see. So, these clothes aren’t expensive.” Tang Beibei thought that they had made a mistake.
II II
The shop assistant complained in her heart. Almost every piece of these branded clothes cost more than a thousand yuan. The final unit price was a hundred plus because she had calculated it based on 10% of the original price. The final bill was still more than ten thousand yuan.
When she showed the final bill to the higher-ups, they said that it was still too expensive and asked her to apply another 10% discount.
She was extremely jealous. This was effectively a 90% discount, and then another 10%. It was a money losing deal, but she was just an employee. The loss would not be hers and she wouldn’t feel the pinch.
Tang Beibei paid the bill happily and turned to get the clothes. She squatted down again when she saw Jiang Jingchen in his wheelchair.
“Hubby, since we are here, I would like to buy you some clothes.”
“Buy me clothes? Do you want to get us couple outfits?”
“No.”
Tang Beibei blushed. She just felt that she had bought so much. She would feel bad if she didn’t buy a few pieces for him.
“Just casual clothes.”
Jiang Jingchen nodded and stroked the top of her head. “Okay, casual couple outfits then.”
Tang Beibei wanted to explain, but she heard the man say, “We’re husband and wife, can’t we wear couple outfits?”
“… Sure.”
Tang Beibei could not come up with any excuse, so she nodded.
Song Zhou, who was standing by the side, felt his scalp tingling. They had only planned to buy women’s clothes today and not men’s clothes. So, they didn’t have the labels taken off men’s clothes.
He said quickly, “Young madam, you must be tired after trying on clothes for so long. Why don’t you and the young master get a drink? I’ll bring the clothes you bought to the car and we can shop for young master’s clothes later. How about that?”
Tang Beibei wasn’t tired, but she remembered that Jiang Jingchen was a patient and had accompanied her to buy clothes for so long. He must be tired.
“Hubby, let’s go have a drink and take a break.”
“Sounds good.”
Jiang Jingchen looked up at Song Zhou. Song Zhou understood the young master and turned to get the clothes.
Tang Beibei pushed his wheelchair to the cafe. She ordered two cups of hot lemonade and then pushed Jiang Jingchen to find a table. Although there were empty seats, she couldn’t fit his wheelchair comfortably so there were all kinds of stares in their direction.
She removed a chair and pushed his wheelchair to the table. Then, she sat down next to him.
Her heart ached when she saw the man’s cold expression.
He’s probably feeling bad that people were staring at him, but he couldn’t scold them. So, he could only act cold.
She held his hand and swore to herself.
She must find a way to cure him. She had gotten some money from the Rong family. She would scrimp and save to get him treatment.
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Jingchen was confused when Tang Beibei suddenly held his hand and stared at him with a determined look.
“I’m grateful for the good luck you’ve given me. I’ve been very unlucky since young but my luck seemed to have changed when I met you.” She replied with a smile.
Jiang Jingchen’s heart softened. “Yes, we’re husband and wife. My good luck is yours. I’m not lending it. I’m sharing it.”
“Sharing it?”
Jiang Jingchen looked at her dumbfounded expression and tapped his lips. “Of course, if you prefer to borrow it, I’m happy to lend it to you.”
Tang Beibei’s ears burned as she recalled the peck on her lips.
“Hey, it’s really you, Tang Beibei,” said a woman arrogantly as she walked up to Tang Beibei.
Tang Beibei heard the familiar voice and frowned. She looked up and saw that it was He Li’s niece, her brother’s daughter, He Lan.
When she visited the Rong residence in the past, Tang Beibei had to call her cousin.
“Tang Beibei, who is the man sitting next to you? Is he a cripple?” He Lan asked thoughtlessly. She looked at the man’s injured face and frowned in disgust.
“Such an ugly face better stay home. He looks so scary.”
Tang Beibei stood up angrily. “He Lan, if you don’t know how to talk, then shut up.”
He Lan snorted. “You are so angry. Don’t tell me that this man is your boyfriend? Tsk tsk. Tang Beibei, you have such weird taste. You actually found a disabled man who looks like a ghost.”
The Rong family had kept Tang Beibei’s marriage a secret, so He Lan didn’t know that it was Jiang Jingchen in the wheelchair. The Rong sisters bullied Tang Beibei all the time, so He Lan also didn’t take her seriously. Sometimes, when she visited the Rong residence, she would bully Tang Beibei together with the Rong sisters.
When she saw Tang Beibei with an ugly, disabled man, she naturally wanted to have some fun and humiliate her just to see her embarrassed and angry expression.
Tang Beibei clenched her fists. “He Lan, please go back to where you came from. I’m not in the mood to talk nonsense with you.”
He Lan sneered disdainfully. How dare Tang Beibei challenge her? Back at the Rong residence, Tang Beibei was like a dog. No matter how they bullied her, she wouldn’t yell at them.
It had only been a few days, and this dog’s teeth had hardened. Was she going to bite now?
“Haha, you’re an illegitimate daughter. Your mother shamelessly clung onto my uncle and even secretly gave birth to you. Now, you’ve found such an ugly man. Is it because he is paying you?”
Tang Beibei was so angry when she heard He Lan humiliate her mother. Her face turned red and she tightened her fists until her knuckles turned white.
When she didn’t hear Tang Beibei’s reply, He Lan raised her chin proudly and glanced at the man in the wheelchair.
“Tang Beibei, no matter what, I’m still your cousin. I’m just reminding you for your own good, but you took advantage of my kindness. My only regret is that you didn’t learn from past mistakes and inherited your mother’s despicable nature.”
Her attitude was haughty, as if she really meant well and said those things for Tang Beibei’s benefit..
