Chapter 404: None of Them Are Good People
After Pang Shili entered the study, Pang Qiong held her mother's hand and cried, "Mom, I like Brother Qi Hang, I really like him. Please help me, sob."
Seeing her crying so sadly, Pang's mother felt very sad. She only had this one daughter, and she had raised her like a treasure since she was a child, and had never let her suffer any grievances.
Moreover, she also thought Qi Hang was a good person. Although the people in the Qi family were good at calculating, so what? As long as Qi Hang liked her daughter, there would be no big problem.
"Don't cry, Mom will find a way for you." Pang's mother patted Pang Qiong's hand and said
"What do you want to do?" Pang Qiong asked
Pang's mother wiped her tears and said, "I will go find Qi Hang's mother later. I think she still likes you very much. She praises you every time she sees me."
"Really?" Pang Qiong suddenly saw hope. She pushed her mother out and said, "Mom, go find Aunt Wu quickly."
"Okay, I'll go now if you stay home." Mother Pang patted Pang Qiong's hand again and turned to walk out the door.
The Qi family lived in the same building as them, but theirs was on the fifth floor while Qi's was on the second. Pang's mother went downstairs to the Qi family. They had just finished dinner. Qi Hang's mother, Wu Qiaozhen, was sitting in the living room watching TV. She didn't see anyone else from the Qi family.
Seeing Pang's mother coming, Wu Qiaozhen smiled and gave her some fruit and said, "Why didn't you let Xiao Qiong come with you? Your Xiao Qiong, I really like her."
After hearing her words, Pang's mother became more confident. She smiled and said, "She's studying at home. She's in her third year of high school and the workload is intense. I'm hoping she can get into Tsinghua University like Qi Hang."
"That's great. If Xiao Qiong also gets admitted to Tsinghua University, she will be in the same school as Qi Hang, and Qi Hang can take care of Xiao Qiong." Wu Qiaozhen said with a smile, looking like she liked Pang Qiong very much.
Pang's mother was even happier. "Your Qi Hang and my Pang Qiong grew up together, so they naturally have a special bond."
"Yes," Wu Qiaozhen grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in Pang's mother's hand, "Your little Qiong is also very popular."
"I heard that your Qi Hang's girlfriend broke up with him. What happened?" asked Pang's mother.
Wu Qiaozhen's smile faded a lot. "It's not really a relationship, just a classmate we're close to. The child's family is in financial difficulty, so Qi Hang helped a little."
Her son was the one who was dumped, and Wu Qiaozhen didn't want to say more.
Mother Pang didn't ask any more questions. She continued, "When children are looking for a partner, they should look for someone they know well. Just like my Pang Qiong and your Qi Hang, we grew up together and our two families know each other well."
This was quite clear: they wanted Pang Qiong and Qi Hang to be together. But Wu Qiaozhen didn't seem to understand. She smiled and said, "That's right. However, Qi Hang is in school, and his father and I don't want her to date too soon and affect her studies."
Mother Pang's heart sank. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Sometimes, emotional matters still depend on the child himself."
Wu Qiaozhen hummed, but didn't respond. Pang's mother was just being obtuse, but now she understood what she meant. What about not letting Qi Hang date because it might affect his studies? Then what about Qi Hang's previous relationship with Wen Dandan? And why was Qi Hang so close to Gu Siqing now?
To put it bluntly, he still didn't like her Pang Qiong.
Her heart felt like a huge stone was blocking her throat. Her daughter, who was so good in every way, was being treated so coldly. Taking a deep breath and suppressing the urge to say something harsh, she said, "When I came here just now, the pot was still simmering. I have to go back now."
Wu Qiaozhen smiled and walked her to the stairs. Before leaving, she said, "Tell Xiaoqiong not to study all the time and to take care of her health."
Mother Pang forced a smile and went upstairs to go home. The moment she turned around, the smile on Wu Qiaozhen's face instantly disappeared, and a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
For someone like Pang Qiong to still have ambitions for her son was truly presumptuous. She turned around and returned home, only to find her husband, Qi Tianheng, sitting on the sofa. Upon seeing her return, he said, "Don't be too definitive. Pang Shili is very capable in scientific research."
Wu Qiaozhen snorted, "The Pang family is not as well-off as ours, and Pang Qiong is not the best. She is not worthy of our Qi Hang."
"But the girl from the Gu family is too smart, so things may not succeed." Qi Tianheng said.
"I think there's a good chance that our Qi Hang and her will be together," Wu Qiaozhen said, counting on her fingers. "First, the Gu family were farmers just a few years ago, and even now they have a little money. We're a family of scholars. Furthermore, while Gu Siqing has published two books and has some wealth, our Qi Hang attended National Tsinghua University and even won runner-up in the International Mathematical Olympiad. Furthermore, they have some funds, and we have projects. Combining our two families would be a powerful alliance."
The more she talked, the more she felt that Qi Hang and Gu Siqing were suitable for each other. She added, "Gu Siqing is in her third year of high school now, so it's not appropriate to propose marriage. I'll go to the Gu family and propose marriage when she goes to college next year."
"Don't act on your own in this matter. Listen to your father. The Gu family is not just rich. Two daughters of the Gu family married into the Zhang and Ye families." Qi Tianheng reminded.
Wu Qiaozhen knew about it, but she didn't think it was a big deal. She just thought it was because the Gu family's daughter was pretty. But she didn't say anything. In fact, she had no say in Qi Hang's marriage. Everything had to be decided by Qi Hang's grandfather.
Here, Pang's mother returned home angrily. Pang Qiong was anxiously waiting for her reply. When she saw her, she went to greet her and said, "Mom, how is it?"
Mother Pang snorted, "Don't think about Qi Hang anymore. The Qi family is not a good family."
Pang Qiong was stunned, her heart clenched tightly, "Mom, what do you mean?"
Mother Pang recounted her conversation with Qi Hang's mother, then said, "Don't go to their house anymore, and don't talk to Qi Hang."
Pang Qiong couldn't believe it. She cried and said, "How could this happen?"
"That's right. They used to treat you as a backup." Mother Pang said this with gritted teeth, but at the same time, she felt very distressed. She knew better than anyone how much her daughter loved Qi Hang.
But now, I can’t like it anymore.
Pang Shili heard the two of them making a fuss outside again, and came out of the study and asked, "What's going on again?"
Pang Qiong didn't say anything, just sat there sobbing. Pang's mother then told him about her visit to the Qi family, and then added, "A family that schemes over everything they do is not a good person. Even if they agree, I still don't agree with our Xiao Qiong and Qi Hang."
