Jiang Mian was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she stood there stunned for a full three seconds.

Three seconds later, he shoved Lin Yiyun aside, unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the car door, and fled in panic.

This job is really not for humans.

He was so close...

"Boss, I..."

After the shock subsided, Jiang Mian called Huo Chenyu.

Thinking back to what just happened, I still feel lingering fear.

"Was the person sent back?"

Huo Chenyu was accompanying Tang Li to enjoy the night view by the river when he received a call from Jiang Mian, which made him slightly displeased.

"I've already delivered the person halfway there."

Halfway there?

What does "halfway through" mean?

"Whatever. In the future, you don't need to tell me about these things. I don't want to hear them!"

The phone was abruptly disconnected.

Jiang Mian stood alone on the empty street. The subway was closed, and the buses had stopped running. He had been waiting for more than half an hour, but there wasn't a single empty taxi in sight, and no one was accepting his order on the ride-hailing app.

The young man in his mid-twenties had his psychological defenses crumble instantly.

He posted a very sentimental message on his WeChat Moments:

Where should I place my heart when I'm alone at night?

Fifteen minutes later, a Maybach pulled up in front of him.

"Hey, buddy, need a ride?"

Jiang Mian looked up and saw that, damn it, tears were falling down at this inopportune moment.

"Look how wronged that kid is! Hurry up, get in the car, I'll take you for some skewers."

Tang Li handed him a tissue and gestured for him to sit in the back row.

"Boss, how about I drive?"

The feeling of being served by the boss was no better than Lin Yiyun asking for a kiss.

But after glancing at Huo Chenyu's eyes, he immediately got into the car and obediently sat down.

"Madam, how come you're passing by here?"

He thought he'd have to walk home tonight.

Huo Chenyu glanced at the rearview mirror and said irritably, "I told you before, find a partner, find a relationship. If you had someone who cared about you, they could comfort you and cheer you on when you couldn't get a taxi home."

Why would someone taking the No. 11 bus (commonly known as walking) need to use gas?!

Thinking about it this way, it's better to stay single!

"So you drove all the way here to pick me up?"

Jiang Mian was instantly moved.

Tang Li turned around from the passenger seat and smiled, "Don't thank me, it would be too formal. If you insist on being polite, you can pay for the late-night snack later."

So he was that bastard!

Jiang Mian grabbed the car door handle: "Is it too late for me to get out now?"

You can't get off halfway through the journey.

"Either I treat you and you pay, or you treat me and I pay," Tang Li joked.

Even a fool knows which one to choose!

In the end, Jiang Mian paid the bill. How could he let his wife do something like that?

So, for the first time in his life, he spent a little money to win big, receiving a solid triple bonus, and it was paid out immediately!

I must say, Madam is amazing!

Staying up late, eating barbecue skewers, and drinking carbonated beverages are not things a pregnant woman should do at all.

When I got home, everyone was asleep.

The next day, Tang Li didn't wake up until noon, while Huo Yishen and his son had already gone to class.

Hearing her get up, Wei Chaoyu brought bird's nest and stomach-soothing porridge to knock on the door, saying that she shouldn't rush to get up, but should rest in the room until she was completely awake before getting up to go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air.

Tang Li ate the bird's nest and tentatively asked:

"Mom, aren't you going to nag me a bit?"

Wei Chaoyu turned to pull out the dressing chair, but Tang Li stopped her and patted the bed: "Mom, sit here."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are as close as a real mother and daughter.

Wei Chaoyu said with a smile:

“When I was pregnant with Sitang and Yancheng, I hadn’t entered the Huo family yet. My mother was still alive then. Every night she would feel the urge to pee and she would crave food. She often couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night and would sneak out to eat stinky tofu in the food street. I always thought my mother was old and went to bed early, so she knew nothing about these things.”

When talking about what happened before she joined the Huo family, Wei Chaoyu didn't seem to shy away from it.

It's as if being pregnant out of wedlock isn't a scandal for her.

“Until one day, when I sneaked out to eat stinky tofu and grilled durian at the food street, a few drunk men harassed a little girl at the next table. Many people were watching, but no one offered to help. The little girl was beaten and fell at my feet, hugging my leg and crying for help.”

It must have been very dangerous at the time.

Tang Li held her mother-in-law's hand, unconsciously sweating.

“At that time, those people were holding beer bottles and yelling at me to mind my own business. I clutched my stomach and sat down on the ground, shouting that someone had killed me.”

This move...

Tang Li smiled knowingly. How could this be so similar to the trick she used in front of Lin Yiyun last night?

It seems the saying is true: "Birds of a feather flock together."

"That trick didn't work. Those drunks were really fierce. They were about to smash beer bottles over my head when a dark shadow flashed by. My mom appeared out of nowhere like a heroine, holding a dog-beating stick, and started beating those drunks up.

“My mother was 42 years old when she gave birth to me. She was already over 60 at the time. Perhaps inspired by her, some of the men who were watching rushed over, while the women surrounded me and the girl.”

"Later, we all went to the police station, and I learned that I was seven months pregnant and had sneaked out on countless sleepless nights, always accompanied by my elderly mother. There were several vicious dogs in the alley, and the dog-beating stick she was carrying was prepared during that time."
