Chapter 184: You want to be my father? Have you asked me about my fist? (11)
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Tang Bao did it on purpose. After hearing the slight silence from his parents on the other end of the phone, Tang Bao turned on the video and pointed it at Zhou Yancheng's face: "Come, happy New Year."
Zhou Yancheng, who has been concentrating on his studies, no longer has a unique hairstyle.
He looks clean and refreshing, with his slightly drooping bangs covering his cold brows and weakening the wildness of his facial features, making him look less fierce.
He looks like a good student.
No longer as unruly as before, Meng's parents no longer disliked Zhou Yancheng so much.
"Chengcheng has grown so handsome?" Mother Meng looked at Zhou Yancheng in the camera, feeling a little proud. "Old Liang said his grandson is handsome, but I don't think he's as handsome as our Chengcheng."
Zhou Yancheng felt a little uncomfortable when the old man who had always disliked him suddenly started praising him.
Even a little embarrassed.
He looked at Tang Bao for help, and Tang Bao smiled and said, "Your grandson is the school idol."
"Yes, my eldest nephew has a lot of female fans!" Uncle Meng, who was sitting on the sofa playing games on his mobile phone, spoke after the voice of "Victory" fell.
The two are only two years apart in age, so Uncle Meng has a very good impression of Zhou Yancheng.
Especially when he was in junior high school, because the school bully was his eldest nephew, he was very famous in school and many people envied him.
As a result, Uncle Meng always wanted to make friends with him, but unfortunately, even though they were not too far away, his sister was unwilling to come back to see him.
He could only convey his good feelings towards his nephew through the screen.
Father Meng was a father, and he felt embarrassed to say this, so he nodded unnaturally: "The massage chair is very good."
Tang Bao, who had Meng Tian's memories, knew that it was not easy for Meng's father to say this.
"Your grandparents like your gift very much. When your college entrance examination results come out, we will go back to visit your grandparents."
Zhou Yancheng knew that Meng's parents didn't like him, and Meng Tian was afraid that his parents would say something bad to Zhou Yancheng, so he never brought him back to the Meng family.
Now that they say they want to take him there, does it mean that he really has relatives?
Not only my mother, but also my grandparents and my uncle.
"Okay." Zhou Yancheng tightened his hands slightly at his sides and subconsciously clutched his pants.
Tang Bao could see that he was nervous: "That's all for today's video call. See you after Chengcheng's college entrance exam."
This New Year has a different meaning for Zhou Yancheng.
Years later, his thinking changed dramatically.
Before school started, he found Tang Bao and said to her, "I shouldn't have stopped you from finding happiness before. I've figured it out. No matter if Mom remarries or not, I will always be Mom's son. This will not change."
If he remarries, he will work hard to earn money for his studies and not make it difficult for his stepmother to live in her husband's family.
If he doesn't remarry, he will have to study harder, make money, and strive to make his stepmother a rich woman at a young age.
As my stepmother's conditions improve, her standards for choosing a spouse will naturally rise.
He was one of the 'conditions' for my stepmother to remarry. The better he was, the better off she would be.
Zhou Yancheng understood at this time that he was the messenger on the road to his stepmother's happiness, and even if the princess got married, the messenger did not necessarily have to leave.
His duty is to protect her happiness.
After coming to his senses, Zhou Yancheng became full of energy and vigor, like a dead tree struggling in the dark thorns, suddenly seeing a new dawn.
He rose up in resistance, cut through the thorns, and grew towards the sun.
"There's no rush for me, and the previous one wasn't a good match either." If Meng Tian continues to live with the other person, her will will gradually wear away, and she will become an ordinary woman among the countless people.
As her host, how could Meng Tian be an ordinary woman!?
Then don't we have to do something big?
For example, the son has money, the stepmother has free time, etc.
After this day, Zhou Yancheng worked even harder, and his academic performance improved from the bottom to the middle.
On the day Zhou Yancheng became an average student, Tang Bao felt that if Meng Tian were there, he would definitely want to set off two firecrackers to celebrate.
At the same time, Zhou Yancheng's biological mother, whom Tang Bao had been waiting for, finally came to see Tang Bao after the New Year, when Zhou Yancheng took his first placement test.
"Knock-knock—"
There was a knock on the door. Tang Bao, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, turned around, looked at the door, then at the cartoon, and had to take out the remote control and press pause.
She put on her light yellow rabbit slippers and walked to the door with her legs clacking to open it.
"Who is this?" Na Nuo's voice sounded after the door opened.
The middle-aged woman standing at the door didn't expect that the person who opened the door would be a young girl.
She frowned slightly, looked the little girl over, and then spoke condescendingly, "Where's your mother?"
"Who are you?" Tang Bao had already guessed the other person's identity when he saw him.
She did not answer the other person's question, but asked a question in return.
"I'm your brother's mother."
Tang Bao had an indescribable expression on her face. Could the other party be sure that she must be Zhou Yancheng's sister without any confirmation?
"Come in first." Scolding her at the door disturbed the neighbors a little.
The other party was holding his first insurance and looked around arrogantly. When he sat down, Tang Bao saw the obvious disgust in his eyes.
Tang Bao shook his head: "I think you are Zhou Yancheng's mother?"
"I'm her aunt, Meng Tian's sister."
When Tang Bao spoke, he revealed an expression that showed doubt about the other person's IQ.
Even if the other party was thinking subconsciously, it did not stop Tang Bao from showing a look of contempt.
The other party was so disgusted that he came to her house, and it was not in her character not to fight back.
"Where's your sister?"
"You don't need to look for my sister. Zhou Yancheng is already an adult and can make his own decisions." Tang Bao knew that the other party came here this time to persuade Tang Bao to 'back off when faced with difficulties'.
Or in other words, he was using money to bribe Meng Tian.
Tang Bao didn't know why the other party suddenly jumped out, but she hated it most when people looked down on her.
"Since your sister isn't here, I won't stay any longer. Here's 30,000 yuan. Tell your sister to be sensible and return my son to me."
After the other party finished speaking, she took out 30,000 yuan from her handbag and put it on the coffee table.
Tang Bao blinked: "Isn't the child support more than this?"
The other party wants to beat her for 30,000?
Are you kidding me?
"What child support?" The other party's face changed slightly.
Tang Bao was not polite and began to count the money she had spent on Zhou Yancheng over the years on her fingers: "Ever since Zhou Yunzhong passed away, my sister has been in charge. Now that you, her biological mother, are back, it couldn't be better."
"We need to settle the bill. How much money do you need to give my sister?"
Over the years, a lot of money has been spent.
Meng Tian is a stepmother and her husband is dead. No one will say anything whether she supports Zhou Yancheng or not.
Now that a sucker has come to her door, she naturally has to extort money from him.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yancheng's biological mother was displeased. She looked at Tang Bao with a cold face: "I finally understand. You and your sister are in collusion, right? No wonder she doesn't dare to come out to see me!"
