Caught in my Own Trap (作茧自缚) : Epilogue 3, Part 28

Happy Tuesday everyone! Did your week started okay? 

This chapter today may be a little confusing. Suddenly, it seems like everything abruptly changed and it is not flowing from the last chapter yesterday. There were a lot more confusing in between text that I actually gave up translating as it is so unrelated to the entire story. 

What is in this chapter today is translated exactly how it is in the novel. So, I hope that it does make some sense to you all when you read it. Hopefully the chapter after tomorrow would be an easier to understand chapter.

With this, we are also nearing the end of Epilogue 3 (FINALLY! Yeah!). From what I see remaining from the original text in chinese, I think we should be able to finished these by end of next week. And then it is the final Epilogue 4 (pretty lengthy too but half of what Epilogue 3 are) before say the final goodbye to this novel.

Epilogue 3.28: Special Accidental Episode

A month later, Zhong Lian Chen and Cheng Shao Rong finally reconciled with some details omitted in the middle.

They will of course as what Grandmother Zhong had said. As long as Cheng Shao Rong really want to marry Zhong Lian Chen, the marriage will definitely happen. The Cheng family children best criteria is keeping their promises even if they have to overcome ten thousand of difficulty to achieve the end goal. Zhong Lian Chen has always been strong on the outside but in actual fact, she is a real ‘chicken’. So the result is inevitable.

The beautiful dusk, golden sunset, Cheng Shao Rong hand in hand with Zhong Lian Chen walking through the center of the square fountain. They startled a few pigeons.

Cheng Shao Rong rub her fingers and asked: “Do you want to eat cotton candy?”

Zhong Lian Chen: “Am I that childish? I want to eat candied fruits!”

Cheng Shao Rong went to buy her a lot of candied fruit. All the different tastes. Zhong Lian Chen ate till her ear pained.

Next to them is a pair of couple with white hair, walking while looking at them with a smile. They said: “What a sweet and loving couple. The guy even use candied fruits to make into a bouquet flowerlike to give her.”

Biting into the candied fruits Zhong Lian Chen said: “That lady with the surname Piao, why suddenly become so kind? I thought she would certainly take the chance to stave off the image of both of us, turning us into ugly people. Especially the smart and lovely me. And then make our beautiful story into a beautiful and vulgar absurd script to make money. Why she suddenly turn so nice? I am not used to it!”

Cheng Shao Rong said: “How can the world be so cheap? It is said that her script is written but 2nd brother sent her a cheque of two million with the condition that she destroy the original scrip that was written.”

Zhong Lian Chen whispered a curse. Cheng Shao Rong turned and looked at her. He saw her biting back her tongue.

Zhong Lian Chen said: “2nd brother is very compromising, unfamiliar to his evil forces. He is too kind to this woman.”

Cheng Shao Rong said: “Who knows what guilt that the woman use again him. Or what damage she is using from the trap to try to frame him. You know, 2nd sister in law situation is a little special. So 2nd brother is worried…. Really strange… why 2nd sister in law like the author name Piao so much? Almost as if it is her friend. 2nd sister in law is such a tasteful woman… in short, 2nd brother has a headache because of this.”

Zhong Lian Chen said: “Isn’t her novel finished? The outcome is set. So want to change may not be necessary successful.”

Cheng Shao Rong sighed: “Isn’t there a thing call changing script? A few hundreds of words changed will change the outcome of the story. 2nd brother gave her face. Letting her have her way.”

“It is better to change the two million dollars into coins. Put her into the pit and then bury her with the coins. Then the world would be much cleaner.”

Cheng Shao Rong said: “She is not guilty of evil. But you have to stay away from her. So that you don’t learn her bad habits.”

Zhong Lian Chen thought: “In fact, Sister Piao is not a bad person. Occasionally she have a strange temper. But come to think of it, compared to the security if sister comes, she is good to me. She basically do not bully me and still arranged for some games for me to play while waiting. She really loves me ah….”

Cheng Shao Rong glanced at her: “That is consider a good person? Then you have to please me. Every year when we go and visit 2nd brother for a week, I will chat with 2nd sister in law and you go and handle 2nd brother.”

Zhong Lian Chen: “Really?” Then with a little frustration: “Better not! Later Brother Shao Chen will irritate me.”

Cheng Shao Rong gentle snorted and mutter under his breath to the ears of Zhong Lian Chen: “That is the purpose. To let him irritate you.”

    1. This is the most frustrating part of this epilogue translation. it becomes a bunch of mess from here onward and many missing points of connection. I am just trying to finish it as quick as possible and the close this part. Really confusing isn’t it. When they finally reach the wedding part, I guess that is where I will stop. And unfortunately, there were no indication on how ZLC and CSR got back together. Just how they ended up with their wedding (which is a little surprise to them as well)
