My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 851 - 862 Encounters a Scheming Bitch

At her daughter’s pleading, Zhang Hua finally entered the room and changed into her evening gown.

When she slowly exited the room, both father and daughter were stunned.

The first to recover, Lin Xiangwan exaggeratedly spread her arms wide and exclaimed, "Mom, do you know? You are so beautiful!"

Zhang Hua smiled. "You child just know how to flatter, you’re not as beautiful as you make it seem!"

"Hua, your daughter is right, you really are beautiful, and the dress fits perfectly!"

Lin Lijun reacted later, saying excitedly.

It was as if he was seeing the young woman from years ago!

Zhang Hua knew that the dress suited her, but... a woman nearing fifty could no longer conceal the looseness of her skin or the lack of fullness!

So this father and daughter clearly were just saying nice things to make her feel good, she still had that self-awareness.

But if she really thought that about herself, then she was greatly underestimating herself.

Though she was aged, it didn’t show much in her appearance.

Her figure was slim and delicate.

Her skin was very fair and without any blemishes. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

In this black evening gown, she looked exceptionally regal and refined, with a restrained aura.

Lin Lijun stood behind his wife, staring at her enraptured, his eyes filled with endless excitement and regret. "Many years ago, I wanted to give you such a gown, hoping you would wear it, sit on an international stage playing a beautiful piece on the piano while I would sit in the audience, feeling the admiration others had for you. I think that must be the happiest feeling. A woman who is envied and adored by others, is my wife. A goddess-like woman whose heart holds only me, who loves only me..."

Zhang Hua’s thoughts inevitably sank into such a scenario, intoxicated by his sorrowful words.

Twenty-eight years ago, when society was not very open, to play the piano on a world-class stage was nearly impossible, let alone perform at concerts or world tours!

Back then, he would often whisper in her ear, "I will definitely work hard in the future, earn more money, fulfill all your dreams!"

Each time, she would smile slightly. "My dream is... to bear your children, take care of your life... to wait every morning for you to open your eyes, I feel that is my greatest dream!"

"Okay, I will work hard for your dream!" Afterwards, he would kiss her passionately, and she would sink into his fervent kiss.

Lin Lijun then somehow pulled out a necklace from one of his pockets, not a limited edition or luxurious one, just a simple diamond necklace, and placed it around Zhang Hua’s graceful neck.

A cold touch on her neck startled Zhang Hua. "Hmm?"

Lin Lijun turned her towards the mirror, allowing her to see herself in the reflection. "Do you like it?"

Zhang Hua saw the shy-looking woman in the mirror, the beautiful gown adding much to her femininity, and the diamond at her chest making her look even more stunning.

"Do you like it?" Lin Lijun asked again.

Zhang Hua did not answer.

Lin Xiangwan knew that her mom’s lack of objection was an implicit agreement; she liked her reflected self.

The daughter understood, as did the husband.

He smiled and continued in a low voice, "This necklace can’t compare to the limited editions of various luxury brands nowadays. It’s just a diamond necklace sold by an ordinary store back then. It was quite rare to see diamond necklaces in our lives then, and I thought it was pretty and made of 24k white gold, so I bought it! However, I later learned that good diamond necklaces are made with 18k white gold!"

At the end, Lin Lijun laughed self-mockingly.

"Daddy, this necklace is really beautiful!" Lin Xiangwan praised.

Lin Lijun laughed again. "But at that time, diamond necklaces were still quite rare, so by a fluke, it also became a limited edition. I bought this necklace with the first money I made from stock trading!"

Lin Xiangwan could imagine, after earning his first fortune, her father must have thought of mom with joy!

"At that time, I thought I would never have the chance to give it away. I thought of keeping it as a souvenir, but I never expected that years later, I would be so lucky to have this opportunity again!" Lin Lijun’s voice became a bit rough towards the end.

Zhang Hua was moved at first, but then felt a twinge of jealousy. "What about your wife? What did you get for your wife?"

"Hmm?" Lin Lijun was startled.

"A ring, right?" Zhang Hua asked sharply, her face filled with mockery.

Lin Lijun fell silent. "..."

Zhang Hua laughed again. "I guessed right, didn’t I? Back then, your wife flaunted that huge diamond ring everywhere, boasting about its one carat size, holding her hand up like this while walking!"

She imitated by lifting all her fingers to her chest.

Lin Lijun suddenly didn’t know how to explain, but indeed, his wife had done something similar back then; he really had bought her a diamond ring.

"Forget it, I don’t even like your gifts!" Zhang Hua took off the necklace and forcefully placed it back in his hands.

However, she kept the evening dress!

Lin Xiangwan watched her mother run off, then glanced at her father and quickly followed her mother’s steps. "Mom..."

Zhang Hua closed the door, not wanting to let anyone in.

But her daughter kept pleading, kept knocking on the door, so she had no choice but to let her in.

Once inside, Lin Xiangwan cautiously looked at her mother. "Mom, you’ve been crying!"

Zhang hastily wiped her tears away. "No, just a momentary loss of control!"

"I understand, you must have regrets, it’s really the irony of fate!"

"How is it the irony of fate? It’s all because he was irresponsible that I separated from him. He found someone else and got married just six months after we split up! How can I believe a man who professes his love for me?"

"Wasn’t it a year before he got married?" Lin Xiangwan emphasized the timeline.

"But he got engaged to another woman six months after we split, didn’t he?"

"Engagement and marriage are not the same!" Lin Xiangwan found herself having to speak for her father. "As long as it’s not marriage, there’s still a chance. Mom, you can’t blame everything on Dad!"

"But his wife... after getting engaged she kept flaunting it, constantly sending me photos to show how happy they were!" Zhang Hua said bitterly.

"His wife?"

"Exactly, the girl everyone thought was so kind, the woman he couldn’t bear to reject in the end. She was particularly manipulative!" Zhang Hua said hatefully.
