At night after Tang Beibei fell asleep, Jiang Jingchen got up and walked out of the room.

He walked to the stairs and waved at Song Zhou. Song Zhou understood and followed him upstairs to the study.

After closing the door to the study, Song Zhou reported, Tve already asked someone to throw Tang Cui into the sewers. If she dies, her corpse will be eaten by sewer rats. If she survived, she would enjoy her old age in a dark place.”

“How much have you found out about my wife’s mother?”

“Tang Minhua and her husband were both from Tang Village. Young Madam’s mother, Tang Xingxing, was adopted by Tang Minhua. Tang Xingxing has been especially beautiful since she turned fifteen. Many people wanted to marry her, but she seemed to have fallen for someone. Tang Cui doesn’t know who that person was. That’s all I got.”

Jiang Jingchen frowned slightly. “Have you checked the hospital where she gave birth to Tang Beibei? Or ask the doctors if they remembered?”

Song Zhou shook his head. “That hospital has been demolished a long time ago. There were no records. Even if we found the doctor, it has been twenty years. Moreover, Rong Yong said that someone deliberately hid Tang Xingxing’s information. That made things even more difficult.”

“I also went to the school for the deaf and mute to check. Tang Xingxing was an introverted and reclusive student. She wasn’t close to any of her classmates, so it’s difficult to find out about her even if her information hasn’t been blocked.”

Jiang Jingchen gritted his teeth. His wife wanted to meet her mother, so he must fulfill her wish.

“Do everything you can to find her mother.”

“Will do.” Song Zhou accepted the mission.

However, he asked, “Young Master, when are you going to tell Young Madam that you are a pretend cripple?”

Jiang Jingchen held his forehead and said, “Not anytime soon. If I tell my wife that I lied to her and she wants to leave me, I’d rather be a cripple for the rest of my life.”

Song Zhou was shocked. Was his young master willing to be a cripple for life for love?

“Then, do you still want to continue your revenge plan for the Jiang family?”

“No change there. Even if I’m a cripple, 1 can still take care of the Song family and let Old Master Jiang have a taste of being betrayed and humiliated!” Jiang Jingchen said coldly.

“Noted.”

“Keep an eye on the Rong family. They owe my wife for all those years. The debt isn’t cancelled just because Tang Beibei said that she’ll cut all ties with them.”

Song Zhou replied, “I’ve already sent someone to keep an eye on them. Rong Mei’er is still recuperating in the hospital hence can’t cause any trouble. However, 1 have a feeling that Rong Chan’er isn’t a good person. She’ll definitely make trouble again.”

“However, Rong Chan’er has a grudge against Song Hai, so I think we can make use of that.”

Jiang Jingchen looked up at him and said, “Song Zhou, you’ve improved. You know how to harness external resources for greater results.”

Song Zhou was flattered by the sudden compliment. “Young Master taught me well.”

Jiang Jingchen’s tone turned cold suddenly as he said, “If you know what to do, go do it now. Don’t let that fly Song Kai buzz around my wife.”

“Yes, sir!”

Jiang Jingchen returned to the bedroom and suddenly heard the woman in bed calling him.

“Hubby.”

Jiang Jingchen froze in his steps, wondering if he should lie down and pretend that he couldn’t walk.

He waited for a few seconds but there was no sound. He looked at the woman in bed suspiciously. The woman’s eyes were closed, and she was asleep.

He let out a sigh of relief and walked back to bed. Just as he lay down and was about to pull the woman into his arms, the woman opened her eyes.

Jiang Jingchen’s heart sank. It was over. He had taken off his mask when he went to the study just now.

At this moment, the woman blinked and reached out to cup his face.

“Handsome, who are you?”

“I’m your husband.”

“Wow, my hubby is so good looking!”

Tang Beibei closed her eyes again semi-consciously. She was dreaming and had no idea what she had just said. She snuggled into his arms and continued to sleep.

Jiang Jingchen looked down at the woman who was asleep again. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

“Little cutie, you’re so cute even when you dream.”

The next day, when Tang Beibei went downstairs for breakfast, she glanced at the man beside her and shook her head again with a very rich expression.

Jiang Jingchen scratched her chin and asked, “Beibei, what’s on your mind?”

“Hubby, I had a dream last night. I dreamed of a handsome guy who looked like you, but not really.”

“What do you mean?”

Tang Beibei pointed at the scars on his face. “That man didn’t have these scars.”

“Then is he handsome?”

“He was but it’s a little strange.”

“Strange?”

“Yes, I’m used to seeing your face but not his.”

Jiang Jingchen touched his face. If he took off his mask with scars one day and she found him ugly, what should he do?

He cleared his throat and explained, “Beibei, you probably liked me too much, so you dreamed of me when I was young. When I was young, I didn’t have any scars on my face.”

“That’s true.”

Tang Beibei nodded and believed him.

Song Zhou, who was standing at the side, heard the woman say that she had seen the scarless young master. He thought that the young master’s disguise was about to fall apart. He did not expect that the young master could pacify her with just one sentence.

Wasn’t she a little gullible?

It was the weekend.

Jiang Jingchen wanted to take Tang Beibei out to relax and make her happy, but she received a call from Fu Jin asking her and Ruan Qi to go to the studio for dance practice.

Their plan for a day of rest and relaxation was ruined. Tang Beibei put on comfortable, casual clothes, carried her little backpack and went to the dance studio with Ruan Qi.

There were 15 professional dancers in the big dance studio when they arrived. Fu Jin introduced them to everyone.

The crowd’s sparse applause was obviously not very enthusiastic towards them. In fact, their expressions were even a little perfunctory.

Fu Jin clapped his hands. “Alright, Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi have joined our big family. From now on, we’re a team. You two can join the team today and start practicing with everyone.”

“Thank you, Captain.” Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi said in unison.

Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi were newcomers, so they stood at the back.

Standing at the back made it a little difficult for them to see the teacher who was demonstrating at the front of the class. They had to move constantly to see her. Moreover, the teacher taught very quickly. The other students were all fast learners. They were able to execute the movements after the teacher taught them a few times.

Although Tang Beibei could keep up with the teacher, there were still some parts she wasn’t sure about. Ruan Qi struggled, and she sometimes couldn’t see the teacher’s movements clearly. She scratched her head irritably, feeling annoyed.

She didn’t expect the first day to be such a huge blow!

Tang Beibei also didn’t expect that the training in a professional dance company would be so fast. Moreover, they were newcomers but the teacher didn’t take that into account at all. She just taught the way she had always taught. Tang Beibei also felt a lot of pressure.

When they were on a water break, Tang Beibei took her bottle of water and went to find the teacher. “Teacher, Qiqi and I haven’t learned the first part of this dance. Can you give us some extra lessons?”

The teacher nodded and pointed at a girl. “Vice-captain Lanlan, please help these two new members catch up with the dance.”

Ye Lan was the vice-captain. She walked over and greeted them politely.

“Beibei, Qiqi, I’ll catch you up when I have time. For now, just try to keep up.”

Although her voice was very sweet, Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi could sense that this woman did not seem to like them.

Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi looked at each other, feeling strange. The atmosphere in the dance studio was very strange..
