I Wanna Be An Online Celebrity Chapter 144 A Scheme

But Jiang Yuecheng did not notice Tang Xia' sneer; instead, he asked if she had had dinner and if his mother had embarra.s.sed her.

Tang Xia shook her head while glancing at Jiang Yuecheng, kissed him on the cheek, and then turned away shyly.

When she had gotten back to the bedroom, Tang Xia went into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She almost threw up. Just now...

Jeering at herself, Tang Xia gargled with water, walked out of the bathroom, and saw Jiang Yuecheng come in.

"What's wrong with you? You looked ill and got a pale face."

Jiang Yuecheng put down the clothes in his hand and then walked over to Tang Xia. He took her into his arms and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night. Go and wash up. I heated up the dishes before you came back."

Jiang Yuecheng kissed her on the forehead and walked to the dining room.

Lying beside Jiang Yuecheng, Tang Xia kept awake during the whole night. When she was about to fall asleep, the alarm clock rang. She turned it off and got up to prepare breakfast. Then she woke up Jiang Yuecheng and asked him to have breakfast before going to work.

Looking at the breakfast on the table, Jiang Yuecheng was moved. He stared at Tang Xia, speaking words of grat.i.tude. Tang Xia gave him a fake smile and asked Jiang Yuecheng to hurry up so that he could get to work on time.

Jiang Yuecheng smiled blissfully and kept praising her while eating, which was exactly what Tang Xia wanted. She planned to let Jiang Yuecheng fall in love with her again and then dump him the way he had dumped her.

She could go out for some time after he had breakfast and then buy some vegetables on the way back.

"Let me drive you to work. And I'll buy some vegetables on my way back."

Jiang Yuecheng thought for a while and nodded. "Ok, it's the first time that I've been driven to work by my wife."

Looking at Jiang Yuecheng, whose eyes were blocked by her hair, Tang Xia stroked her hair and smiled at Jiang Yuecheng. "I can drive you to work every day if you like."

Looking at the woman who stood in front of him, Jiang Yuecheng was very moved. His slovenly wife, who had been always disliked by him, now seemed to have become his good wife and was bringing him fresh feelings.

Jiang Yuecheng kept his eyes fixed his eyes on Tang Xia, which was a change that Tang Xia had expected.

At the company's entrance, Tang Xia saw the one whom she never wanted to meet.

Zhou Linlin, who had just arrived at the company, was about to greet Jiang Yuecheng when she saw him, but her eyes were focused on the hand holding his arm.

She looked up and saw Tang Xia.

"What a coincidence, cousin."

"Yeah, cousin. How do you have time to drive my cousin-in-law to work?"

Zhou Linlin looked into Tang Xia's eyes and asked her, insinuating that Tang Xia should be staying at home now, or bargaining with the elderly in the vegetable market instead of showing up here.

Tang Xia curled her lips and said, "It was still early so I decided to drive Yuecheng to work and buy some vegetables when I go back. It's perfect timing."

"Really? You're so considerate, cousin."

"Of course, I must be considerate, or how could I be Yuecheng's wife?"

Tang Xia held Jiang Yuecheng's arm more tightly and leaned against him with complacency.

Zhou Linlin's face turned blue when she saw Tang Xia do this because the man who used to speak words of love to her had now changed his mind. Zhou Linlin started cursing Jiang Yuecheng in her mind as well as all his ancestors.

Jiang Yuecheng was a little annoyed by the two women who kept speaking to each other.

At the same time, he made a comparison between them in his mind. He used to believe Zhou Linlin had brought him a different feeling, but recently, it seemed that Tang Xia had completely changed herself.

Sometimes, he would wonder if Tang Xia was still the same woman he knew, having changed from a slovenly wife into an elegant one.

"But cousin, it may be improper for you to tangle with my cousin-in-law in the early morning."

Zhou Linlin covered her mouth with her hands and laughed after saying this. But Tang Xia was not annoyed by her words. Instead, she smiled at Zhou Linlin, and then looked up at Jiang Yuecheng.

"Dacheng, do you also think it's improper for us to do that?"

Jiang Yuecheng hesitated when he saw Tang Xia ask like this. He touched Tang Xia's face and said, "What're you thinking about? Why would it be improper? You're my wife and I'm your husband. Everything we do will be legal."

"But my cousin said that this may have a negative effect on your work."

"How could it? There's no such regulation in my company that the staff can't be accompanied to the workplace by their family members. All right, don't think too much."

Then he looked at Zhou Linlin and said, "Cousin, you are so early today. But you'll be late for work if you continue to chat with us."

Zhou Linlin was doubtful of Jiang Yuecheng's words because he was treating her this way, so she looked down at her wrist.w.a.tch.

She opened her eyes wide and pointed at Tang Xia with her index finger. Then she rushed to the company, in fear that her wages would be deducted.

Seeing that Zhou Linlin had left, Tang Xia released Jiang Yuecheng's wrist and said, "All right, go to work now. I'll cook what you like and wait for you at home."

"Ok, I'll come back earlier today. I won't let you wait for long."

Tang Xia watched Jiang Yuecheng leave after the talk. She told him before that she would go to the vegetable market and cook the dishes he liked, but then she changed her mind and went straight to the shopping mall.

At the entrance of the shopping mall, where Tang Xia looked at the dazzling goods in the showcases, she remembered she seemed to be never in the mood to hang around here because she thought she should not waste a penny of her family. But now...

Tang Xia walked into the mall after getting herself together and bought lots of goods she liked.

Before exiting, Tang Xia caught a glimpse of a clothing counter. She looked down at her clothes and made up her mind to thoroughly change herself.

She deposited her belongings into the locker and picked out several clothes that cost much more.

Then the tricky look on Jiang Yuecheng's mother's face entered her mind. If she did not buy her something, her mother-in-law might scold her again.

So she picked out on more clothes for her mother-in-law in accordance with her figure.

On the way back, Tang Xia pa.s.sed by a hair salon, which was giving a discount to customers for its grand opening. She saw some women walk out of the salon with beautiful hairstyles.

She touched her own hair, which was tied in a ponytail. Then she walked in and chose the trendiest style and dyed her hair with her favorite color.

While waiting for Tang Xia to come back from the vegetable market, Jiang Yuecheng's mother started chattering and complaining about how ignorant her daughter-in-law was, often checking the time without seeing her come back.

When Tang Xia returned, she was still complaining and was heard by Tang Xia.

She was unsatisfied with Tang Xia originally, and now she looked very disgusted the instant she saw the things in Tang Xia's hands.

"I was wondering how Dacheng's money was being spent, now I've gotten the answer. You've spent it buying those gaudy things."

Tang Xia did not reply to her and went into the bedroom after greeting her by calling her "mother". She put everything she bought into the closet and walked out with the clothes she bought for Jiang Yuecheng's mother.

She was still annoyed by Tang Xia ignoring her and did not know where she had gone. She gave her a blank look when Tang Xia walked out and said, "You're dressed up so beautifully. Where are you going? Are you going to meet with a swinger?"

"Look at your hair, it's so colorful. What do you want?"

Tang Xia kept her head down while Jiang Yuecheng's mother continued scolding her. But she did not argue back and remained silent until her mother-in-law had finished.

"Mother, this is what I bought for you. You can try it on and see if it fits you well."

Jiang Yuecheng's mother glanced at Tang Xia suspiciously and then looked at the clothes in her hand, and said, "Where did you go?"

"Where are the vegetables? What will we have today?"

"Well, mother, there are still some vegetables left from yesterday and they look fresh, so I didn't buy any more. And I pa.s.sed by a shopping mall, where the clothes seemed to be not bad, so I bought something for you. How about trying it on?"

She spoke while taking the clothing out of the bag, while her mother-in-law looked at the clothing.

She suddenly looked different. Even though she had always disliked Tang Xia, she kept smiling and praising her for being so sensible and knowing how to take care of her mother.

Her words made Tang Xia feel disgusted. Tang Xia thought she should be rewarded with an Oscar for her ability to change her face so well.

Jiang Yuecheng's mother could not help feeling delighted in her mind when she thought of the clothing Tang Xia bought her. All she said was that Tang Xia was much more sensible then Jiang Yuecheng and saved her from worrying.

"Really. If you'd like, I can buy you new clothes more frequently. After all, the tailor makes the man."

Though she was happy originally, Jiang Yuecheng's mother changed her face again when hearing this and said, "Yuecheng doesn't earn much each month. How can you spend money like that? And listen, can you learn from your cousin, Linlin, who found a job to support her family?"

Tang Xia kept nodding and gave an affirmative reply, saying that she would go find a job later on. All of this made Jiang Yuecheng's mother stop criticizing Tang Xia.

She started to try on the clothes after the talk. It seemed like Tang Xia had measured Jiang Yuecheng's mother before buying the clothing, it fit her perfectly.

"You're clever, Tang Xia. It fits me well. That's great."
