The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories - Ch 483

Written By fringe chameleon

Chapter 483 - She had heard nothing about Yan Yongan or Tong Zhenzhen since. (2)

Tong Xuelu only learned about it from Fang Jingyuan.

Fang Jingyuan, right now looking at Tong Xuelu with an envy look, said, “Xuelu, how are some women so lucky and are able to meet faithful men?”

Tong Xuelu was making white sugar cake at the time. She asked, “Who’s the object of your envy this time?”

She added flour and granulated sugar into glutinous rice flour and slowly stirred in water to mix well. She then added in a suitable amount of lard so it wouldn’t stick.

Watching Tong Xuelu worked, Fang Jingyuan went on to explain, “Haven’t you heard about the very touching love story between Minister of Finance and his wife?”

Minister of Finance?

Tong Xuelu paused a little. “Is his surname Yan?”

Fang Jingyuan nodded, “Right. So you do know. Why did you act that you didn’t then?”

Tong Xuelu didn’t give anything away. “I might have heard it from somewhere but I don’t remember the details. Can you tell me the story again?”

As she spoke, Tong Xuelu rolled the dough into a ball and then into strips of 30 centimeters in diameter before making them into a circles and dropping them into a vat of hot oil to fry.

Fang Jingyuan watched as Tong Xuelu fried the dough and told her the story that she had read on the newspaper.

Tong Xuelu only felt a chill down her spine as she listened to it.

A touching story, her @$$!

Would never leave her side, her @$$!

Her guts told her that there was more to the story, something insidious even.

She might believe it had she not know that Yan Yongan was in cohort with Tong Zhenzhen.

Once he had anything to do with Tong Zhenzhen, she’d rather believe that a hog would learn to climb a tree before she’d believe that this man was faithful to his wife!

Yan Yongan’s wife had fallen ill 1 ~ 2 months ago. That was after Yan Yongan and Tong Zhenzhen had met. Then she had fallen off a cliff.

She had serious suspicions that Comrade Du Mei was pushed off the cliff by Yan Yongan. She wasn’t even sure that her being sick wasn’t just coincident.

That being said. Given that Yan Yongan dared to take Du Mei to the hospital to be checked out and for their story to be published, for certain he did not poison his wife.

So what was it that he did?

Seeing that she had remained silent for a long while, Fang Jingyuan covered up her face and said in envy, “You are touched too, right? Comrade Du’s fate was said but at least she left with no regrets. She was able to meet a man who loved her so much before she died!”

Tong Xuelu gave her a cold look. “Touch, my @$$. One’s only lucky if one’s alive. Who cares how faithful he is if one’s dead?”

Fang Jingyuan frowned. “I disagree. Certainly Comrade Du did not want to die. But wouldn’t it make you feel that your life is more meaningful when there’s someone who’d remember you after you’ve died rather than not?”

“No. Had Xiang Peng not pushed you when you were at my place but a scarcely visited place. And he didn’t take you to the hospital after you’ve felt and you had bled to death. Would you feel that your life is worthwhile just because he cried over you afterward?”

Tong Xuelu rolled the fried doughs in sugar and placed them on a dish. The fried doughs had a golden color and a coat of granulated sugar on their outside. They looked like cotton candies.

“……” Fang Jingyuan pictured the scenario and shuddered. “Are you trying to say that that’s the kind of person that Minister Yan is?”

Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes. “I’ve said nothing.”

She then divided up the white sugar cake into three plates. She brought one plate to the study for Tong Jiaming and the others; one plate for the Wei family, and the final plate for Fang Jingyuan and herself.

Fang Jingyuan’s mind was filled with pink bubbles earlier. Now that the bubbles had been burst, she could no longer feel envious.

She picked up a white sugar cake and took a bite. The white sugar cake was soft and chewy. They were super delicious.

Fang Jingyuan ate quite a few of them before she stopped and sighed. “Men are too complicated and relationships even more so. Food is way better!”

Tong Xuelu gave her a look and said nothing.

She was thinking about matters between Tong Zhenzhen and Yan Yongan.
