Tang Qi was very moved.
Ever since my parents' relationship broke down and they divorced for some unspeakable reasons, my mother has never said a good word about my father. She always calls him either a "gay old man" or a "banana old man," and even through the phone, you can hear the resentment in her voice.
Of course, recently, with her career becoming increasingly exhausting, her mother seemed to have lost interest in maintaining her old resentment. Moreover, Tang Qi felt that, at this point, her mother didn't actually hate her father that much; it was just a kind of habit.
But now, her mother has so easily changed her mind, reconciled with her father, and remarried—this is truly beyond the young lady's expectations. Thinking about it carefully, why would her mother make such a choice that goes against her own character?
Looking at the WeChat transfer message again, the answer was crystal clear to Tang Qi—it was all for her daughter!
Tang Qi was so moved that she cried.
"Wow! Mom, you're so good, you..."
For a moment, she burst into tears and couldn't even finish a complete sentence.
Dai Ting on the other end of the phone was somewhat surprised: "You're so happy that your parents remarried? You're even crying with joy."
Tang Qi tried to calm herself down, but her little nose was still twitching: "I'm not happy... no, I am happy, but not so happy that I'm crying. I just, I just think that Mommy is so great, so incredibly great..."
Dai Ting chuckled: "It's great to succeed in starting a business. Mom failed and sheepishly went back to her old ways. She's a loser."
Although she couldn't see anything over the phone, Tang Qi still shook her head vigorously and said, "Mom isn't a good-for-nothing, she's a great mother, exceptionally great!"
Dai Ting asked with a smile, "Do you feel that Mom sacrificed a lot to go back and be with your dad?"
Tang Qi: "Of course!"
Dai Ting: "Completely the opposite. I just don't want to work hard anymore. I'm tired, that's why I'm like this. Don't be so self-satisfied. I can transfer 100,000 yuan to you right now. Guess how much money your dad transferred to me last night?"
Tang Qi: "..."
It's really amazing; with just a few words, her mother managed to make her less moved.
Dai Ting added, "But one thing is true: you must hold on tight and never let the boy you like slip away."
Tang Qi immediately replied, "Absolutely not, he's already in my grasp!"
Dai Ting: "Are you sure you won't be turned gay by your dad?"
Tang Qi answered without hesitation, "Absolutely impossible!"
Dai Ting then asked, "And it won't be snatched away by other girls?"
"This is impossible!"
Tang Qi hesitated for half a second, but still spoke with considerable determination. Although her tone was firm, the girl's eyes seemed somewhat hesitant.
Dai Ting paused for two seconds, then asked with curiosity, "What does that boy look like that makes you so devoted to him?"
Tang Qi instinctively retorted, "I'm not completely devoted..."
Dai Ting asked jokingly, "Really not?"
Tang Qi was at a loss for words.
Dai Ting laughed and said, "Do you have a picture of that boy? Send it to me, I'm a little curious. How handsome must a boy be to make our young lady so infatuated?"
Tang Qi blushed: "No!"
Dai Ting: "Nothing? Are you trying to say he's not very handsome, or that you're not a fan of his?"
Tang Qi: "None of them!"
Dai Ting: "Hey, if he's not handsome, then why do you like him? Don't young girls all care about looks?"
Tang Qi was somewhat embarrassed and angry: "But I'm not! And Lu Zhe isn't unattractive, he's just not particularly handsome, he's the reserved type."
Dai Ting chuckled and said, "You actually like introverted boys?"
Tang Qi: "Why not!"
Dai Ting comforted her, "Okay, don't be angry. Mom didn't object to your relationship. Don't forget, I support you, and I'm supporting you with real money. I just want to see what my future son-in-law looks like."
Tang Qi, who was furious just a moment ago, softened her tone immediately upon hearing the word "son-in-law".
The girl said shyly, "It's still early, what's this talk about a son-in-law..."
Dai Ting laughed and said, "Alright, anyway, just keep it up! I absolutely support you and your dad in fighting over a man! If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me, and you can also ask me for advice if you have any questions. What's this called in the game you play, coffee?"
Tang Qi was taken aback: "What coffee?"
Dai Ting: "It's the effect that makes game characters stronger, what's it called again?"
Tang Qi: "That thing is called a buff, a character's enhancement aura."
Dai Ting: "Okay, anyway, Mom will back you up. You've been boosted, so go for it!"
For some reason, Tang Qi suddenly perked up: "I'll get right on! Okay, Mom, you go ahead with your work, I'll start with breakfast."
Dai Ting asked with a smile, "Are you already picking up men so early in the morning?"
"That's right!"
After finishing her sentence decisively, Tang Qi hung up the phone.
After such a long phone call, she knew she really should hurry up and get ready so she could go out for breakfast. Today's breakfast would definitely be prepared by Xue Xiaodie again, and the two girls would eat with Lu Zhe.
Tang Qi felt that since Xue Xiaodie had already surrendered and there was probably no progress on President Xia's side, what was she waiting for?
————
To Tang Qi's surprise, it was not Xue Xiaodie who prepared the breakfast, but Lu Zhe.
For some reason, Lu Zhe seems to have become more diligent lately...
While eating the noodles Lu Zhe had cooked, Miss Tang couldn't help but steal glances at him. Every now and then, their eyes met, creating an even more ambiguous atmosphere in the silence.
There was an unspoken tenderness hidden in Lu Zhe's eyes—and Tang Qi was even more excited after discovering this. Her mother's words from not long ago still seemed to echo in her ears.
'You've been enhanced, go for it!'
Thinking of this, Tang Qi suddenly remembered that her mother had made another request: to send her a photo so she could see what Lu Zhe actually looked like.
Tang Qi held chopsticks in her right hand and picked up her phone with her left hand, flipping through the photo album.
But after searching for a long time, she realized that she had never taken a picture of Lu Zhe. The only one she had was an intimate photo of Xia Xiaobing and Lu Zhe!
Looking at the precarious curve in the group photo, Tang Qi gritted her teeth, her determination to secure the win as quickly as possible. The young lady felt that merely reaching second base wasn't enough; she needed to reach home base as soon as possible to feel secure.
Of course, we can't rush this. Before that, how about... taking a sneaky photo?
Tang Qi quietly held up her phone and turned on the camera mode.
Of course, since it was a clandestine photo shoot, it couldn't be too obvious. So she held her phone in her left hand while eating noodles with chopsticks in her right, only she ate much more slowly.
However, Tang Qi did not notice that Xue Xiaodie, who was standing to the side, had already noticed her unusual behavior. She just watched silently without saying a word.
