Chapter 118 Mother and Daughter

Tang Lingwu’s villa seems to have only three floors, and the decoration is not luxurious - it’s even a bit old-fashioned.

"This is my grandpa's old house..." Tang Lingwu said softly, "My dad doesn't live here. He's in the provincial capital."

"What about your mother?"

"The doctor said it would be better for her to stay in a familiar environment."

Zheng Fa had been very confused before. Not to mention Tang Lingwu's grades, just considering her family background, she shouldn't be able to study at Qingshui Middle School.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid she has been studying here just to accompany her mother.

There was a person who looked like a nanny cleaning the first floor of the villa, but she moved very quietly and made no sound.

The house was so quiet that it seemed uninhabited. The footsteps of the three people echoed in an empty manner in this huge house.

"My mother is resting on the second floor." Tang Lingwu led the three of them up the stairs: "She can't sleep at night, and she has to squint almost all day long."

When he reached the second floor, Zheng Fa saw Tang Lingwu's mother.

Before Zheng Fa came, he felt that Tang Lingwu's mother's condition would not be very good.

After all, according to Tang Lingwu's description, her mother was a little hysterical, suffered from insomnia at night, and had a strong desire for control.

In Zheng Fa's imagination, although such a person is not crazy and has disheveled hair, he is probably mentally depressed.

But I'm not——

Tang Lingwu's mother was lying on an almost flat sofa, covered with a wide, soft bath towel.

The incense sticks on the coffee table slowly gave off green smoke, filling the room with fragrance.

A pretty girl in her twenties squatted at the end of the sofa, gently massaging her face and scalp.

As if she heard the footsteps of Zheng Fa and others, Tang Lingwu's mother sat up gently, and the bath towel slipped from her shoulders, revealing the suspender dress she was wearing.

Her facial features are 80% similar to Tang Lingwu's, but her figure is more charming.

At first glance, she seemed to be in even better condition than Tang Lingwu last night—her complexion was clean and rosy, her posture was relaxed, and she even looked energetic.

Not to mention Zheng Fa, even Tang Lingwu looked shocked and stared at her mother blankly.

Tang Lingwu's mother stood up, first extended her hand to Old Man Bai, and said politely: "Teacher Bai, Xiaowu has troubled you."

The old man shook hands with her gently twice.

She nodded gently towards Zheng Fa again, without any intention of shaking hands with him, but said in a rather friendly manner: "This must be classmate Zheng, my last name is Ye, you can just call me Sister Ye."

Zheng Fa was stunned, and turned to look at Tang Lingwu beside him: "Sister Ye...?"

"Call me Auntie Ye!" Tang Lingwu, who was a generation down for nothing, refused to give in. She turned to her mother and said, "Mom, I'm helping you with your illness. Why are you like this?"

"What's wrong with me?" Aunt Ye rolled her eyes and muttered, "I have a client to meet. What's wrong with me getting a massage or a SPA to adjust my condition?"

“…”

Zheng Fa glanced at the old man and felt that Aunt Ye was much more lively than he had imagined.

But if he looked closely, he could see that Aunt Ye was not in as good a condition as she seemed.

The redness on her face seemed to be made-up, and her lazy posture was actually to cover up her slowness. Even her right hand trembled slightly from time to time, as if she was nervous.

Aunt Ye said to Old Man Bai, "Teacher Bai, you see, I don't have any big problems...Xiao Wu is just making a fuss out of nothing."

Zheng Fa was stunned and finally understood what Aunt Ye was thinking.

On the one hand, he probably still doesn't have much confidence in himself... On the other hand, he let me come over probably because of old man Bai's face.

On the other hand, I'm afraid some people are reluctant to seek medical treatment.

"Mom! Didn't you promise me?" Tang Lingwu also noticed her mother's hesitation and said a little angrily.

"Look, I'm feeling much better today, right?"

"Every time we go to the hospital, you don't want to go, and you have to force me to go." Tang Lingwu seemed really angry: "This time I asked someone to help you, and you are like this again?"

“…”

Aunt Ye stopped talking.

Zheng Fa looked at Tang Lingwu, then at Aunt Ye.

I always feel that Tang Lingwu seems to be more concerned about the relationship between these two mother and daughter.

Aunt Ye seemed to know that she was in the wrong. She sat on the sofa and remained silent for a long time before she spoke: "It's useless..."

“Mom, you…”

"What experts in China and abroad have not seen? I took medicine as if it were food, but it didn't help much. I used to sleep for two hours at night, but now I can't sleep all night without opening my eyes." Aunt Ye said, "Xiao Wu, I know you are worried about me. For so many years, it was actually you who took care of me."

The old white man opened his mouth to speak.

"Teacher Bai, I believe in your kindness, but I also know that you are not sick - at least not the same disease as mine."

“…”

"You don't need to ask your classmates to treat me, and you don't need to force me to go to the hospital." Aunt Ye suddenly said, "I contacted a foreign hospital this morning. I have a flight ticket for tomorrow and I can be admitted the day after tomorrow. You don't have to take the college entrance examination anyway. Your father will come to pick you up and take you to the provincial capital."

Aunt Ye seemed to have given up her control over her daughter, but Tang Lingwu still seemed to want to leave.

"Mom knows she has a problem, and she wants to control herself, but when I'm with you, sometimes I just can't control myself. I keep thinking about this and that, and forcing you to do this and that." Aunt Ye said softly to Tang Lingwu, "Just remember to visit me in the future."

Tang Lingwu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly said: "Then why are you doing this today..."

"I have to make my daughter remember her mother's prettier self."

Zheng Fa was a little silent.

Perhaps in Aunt Ye's view - Tang Lingwu believed in herself and was probably at her wit's end, so she had to drag Old Man Bai into the show.

She didn't believe Zheng Fa or Tang Lingwu, but Tang Lingwu's desperate attempt to find a cure made her feel as if she had realized her daughter's helplessness. In the end, she decided to lock herself up so as not to affect her daughter's life.

"Since you are here today, just have fun at our house." Aunt Ye looked at her daughter in silence and said with a smile, "I asked Auntie to cook a few dishes. Let's eat together and practice for me."

"Mom, just try it!" Tang Lingwu pleaded in a low voice.

Aunt Ye glanced at her daughter and seemed a little helpless: "Okay, I'll try. How do I do it?"

There was no expectation on her face.

After asking everyone else to leave, the only people left on the second floor were Tang Lingwu and her daughter, Zheng Fa, and Old Man Bai.

"Auntie Ye, just sit on the sofa and close your eyes... I'll give you a massage."

Zheng Fa had no intention of promoting his cultivation of immortals to outsiders.

Tang Lingwu seemed to understand it as well, but she said that Zheng Fa knew some Chinese medicine techniques and could treat diseases by stimulating the acupuncture points on the head.

Aunt Ye nodded and turned her back to Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa could see that her muscles from her neck to her back were stiff, as if she was tense.

Especially when Zheng Fa put his hand on her head, her whole body trembled.

Clearly uncomfortable.

Zheng Fa pretended to press twice, and the calming talisman in his dantian trembled slightly, and the runes of the nourishing talisman shot from his fingertips into the back of Aunt Ye's head.

The head in his hands sank, and when he looked again, Aunt Ye had fallen asleep.

Several people put Aunt Ye on the sofa and waited aside.

Ten minutes later, Aunt Ye finally woke up.

She looked confused, as if she couldn't tell what day it was, but a smile was still on her lips.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Mom? How are you?"

Aunt Ye looked at the ceiling and then at her daughter.

Tang Lingwu was smiling at her. Aunt Ye turned her head suddenly and looked at Zheng Fa's hands, as if she was looking at some treasure.

"Student Zheng...can you give me another press?"

She spoke to Zheng Fa eagerly, like a drunkard addicted to alcohol.

"Mom...you're changing too fast!" Tang Lingwu couldn't bear to look at her.

When her mother refused to allow Zheng Fa to treat her, she just felt helpless.

Now it seems that this is too much trust in Zheng Fa...

She felt a little embarrassed.

"Aunt Ye, this kind of treatment doesn't need to be too much." Zheng Fa shook his head.

As for the nourishing talisman, it only takes once a week to slowly nourish the body. If you use it more than that, it will not be very effective.

Aunt Ye blinked, suddenly stood up and walked into the room.

When she came back, she was holding a bank card in her hand, which she slammed on the coffee table.

Zheng Fa looked at the bank card on the coffee table.

He looked at Tang Lingwu and Aunt Ye again.

I can only say that you two are worthy of being mother and daughter, and your arrogant actions are all in the same vein! "How much is Xiaowu?" Aunt Ye seemed to understand what Zheng Fa was thinking and said, "It's just pocket money."

Zheng Fa: ...It seems that our definition of pocket money is somewhat different.

"It's not a matter of money. It's just that once a week is enough. There's no need to do it more than that." He thought about it, then shook his head and refused.

Aunt Ye looked at Zheng Fa deeply and suddenly said, "Can I ask you to come every week in the future?"

"Mom? You're not going abroad?" Tang Lingwu asked in surprise.

“No!” Aunt Ye said with a smile, “The sleep I just had was the best sleep I’ve had in the past ten years. I felt like my brain had a SPA. I’ve never felt so good after treatment in any hospital!”

Zheng Fa didn't say anything, as if he was thinking.

"Student Zheng, if you feel the money is not enough, we can negotiate it!" Aunt Ye said anxiously.

Looking at Tang Lingwu who looked nervous, Zheng Fa nodded gently and said, "I will come again next week. The main thing is that you have to check it out to see if it is really effective."

To some extent, Aunt Ye was also one of his test subjects - he still wanted to see whether the soul-nourishing talisman was really effective in modern times.

"Okay! Okay! I'll go to the hospital for a check-up."

Aunt Ye nodded obediently.

He doesn't look like the person who didn't want to go to the hospital as Tang Lingwu said.

Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until the results of your examination come out before we talk about the reward, Auntie?"

…

Aunt Ye brought Tang Lingwu and sent Zheng Fa and Old Man Bai into the car.

Looking at the taillights of the car going away, Aunt Ye suddenly sighed softly.

Tang Lingwu looked at her mother in confusion.

"Remember to get along well with Zheng Fa in the future. He is also taking tutoring classes with Teacher Bai? Then you have to go more often - you can skip the class, but you can't skip going." Aunt Ye suddenly said.

"Mom?" Tang Lingwu was stunned.

"Do you know why I don't go abroad?"

"Zheng Fa's massage is amazing."

"Massage..." Aunt Ye glanced at her daughter and curled her lips: "If you want a massage, then give it a massage. Remember, doing business is the same as being a person - the most important thing is to find the right person. When you meet the right person, you have to spare no expense."

“…”

"You are so lucky to meet such a person. If I went abroad, you would have to go to the provincial capital... wouldn't it be in vain?"

Tang Lingwu widened her eyes.

"I don't know what Zheng Fa likes, money? House?" Aunt Ye muttered, and finally looked at her daughter with a bit of dejection, her face actually showed some disdain for favoring boys over girls: "What a pity, he doesn't like women."

Tang Lingwu: ...Mom, aren't you being too extreme? You just said you didn't believe anything, but now you believe everything? ...

Xuanwei Realm, Senior Sister Zhang’s home.

Zheng Fa was called over by Senior Sister Zhang, and heard Senior Sister Zhang say, "Uncle Pang said that he doesn't want the "Talisman Foundation Building Method" anymore."

"ah?"

"He wants you." Senior Sister Zhang said with a frown.

Zheng Fa's expression slowly changed: "...Does Uncle Pang have any special hobbies?"
