Chapter 148 Insults Will Make Your Mouth Rot
Tu Yao wasn't oblivious to the fact that, besides admiration and affection, there was also a hint of nostalgia in Madam Jiang's eyes when she looked at her.
At her age, she couldn't understand the loneliness of Mrs. Jiang, a businesswoman.
But I can understand the loneliness of an old woman who has lost her daughter.
She could tell that the old lady really wanted someone to keep her company, so she was willing to stay with her for a while.
Tu Yao got into the car, rolled down the window, and solemnly instructed each of them, "Young man, take good care of your leg."
"Second brother, hurry up and go to class."
"Big brother, quickly take Xiao Ge to the hospital. Oh, and don't forget to take Lin Qiuping in too!"
Tu Chaoxi's brow twitched: "You're worrying so much! Let's go, let's go."
"Let me know you've arrived safely!"
Tu Yao waved with a smile.
The three brothers only slowly looked away after the car drove out of the intersection.
Tu Chaoxi rubbed her temples and murmured, "Lin Qiuping should be sent in."
"...But besides Lin Qiuping, there's also Bai Chumeng."
These past two days he's been thinking that Lin Qiuping came out too quickly.
He was released right after the detention of Tu Xiaomao and Lin Yue was resolved.
Nan Ke: "Big brother, do you think it's her again?"
Tu Chaoxi scoffed. Who else could it be but her?
"It's too deliberate."
He once thought that Bai Chumeng had deliberately framed him because she was angry and embarrassed after her pursuit of her idol failed.
But then came Nan Ke's concert, and then Lin Yue's recent trending topic.
And to release Lin Qiuping early to cause trouble.
She always timed her appearances perfectly, appearing at crucial turning points in the three brothers' careers. Simply explaining it as a matter of being angry and embarrassed is far-fetched.
As Tu Chaoxi reviewed the situation, she asked herself, "So why did she want to ruin the three of our careers?"
This time, Lin Qiuping rushed to cause trouble with the shareholders without even understanding the current situation; she must have been in a panic.
Why is she in such a hurry?
This was the first time Tu Chaoxi, with her single-minded mind, had thought about so much.
He was getting a headache from thinking about it.
He immediately paused his thinking, saying, "None of you are allowed to tell Tu Xiaomao about this, lest she be frightened if she finds out."
"Alright, third brother, get in the car!"
Tu Chaoxi's car soon drove away as well.
Nan Ke remained watching calmly for a long while before softly asking, "...Because what can be gained?"
Nan Ke remained calm and composed, unlike Tu Chaoxi who was prone to getting flustered and anxious.
He slowly walked towards another car. "...It's okay, the more you rush, the easier it is to be exposed."
...
The Jiang family is a long-established family in Yanjing, and they have a quaint old house in the center of Yanjing.
But as the old lady got older, she moved to a garden in the suburbs.
Tu Yao stopped at a major intersection on the outskirts of the city.
I was stunned when I got out of the car.
What I had imagined to be a quiet and secluded place was instead filled with a row of cars and a crowd of people gathered at the entrance.
Men in suits and ties, women who appear elegant and dignified—there's a clear distinction between them.
But what they all had in common was that they brought their children.
The youngest, the slightly older, and the oldest were all dressed formally and scattered in front of the courtyard.
Tu Yao stepped back, found a shady spot to sit down with her small bag, and took out her phone to send a message to the old lady.
Just as I finished posting, a child's voice suddenly came from behind me.
"I don't like that old woman at all, I hate her the most!"
"I don't like it either. Why does my dad always bring me here? It's so annoying!"
Tu Yao frowned.
At the Jiang family home, the old lady was still tending to the same potted plant she had been tending to before.
It is a Magnolia x soulangeana, quite old, and since it's not flowering season, the leaves are turning yellow.
"Madam, those people outside the door..."
Madam Jiang said calmly, "Let them go. I don't want to see them."
The butler was not surprised at all. As he was about to leave, he turned back and glanced at the butler.
The old lady stood alone by the window, feeling utterly lonely.
He couldn't help but ask, "...Madam, why haven't you sent Xiao Mao over to keep you company yet?"
Madam Jiang trimmed a cluster of leaves, and upon hearing a name she liked, a slight smile appeared on her face.
"If the young girl really doesn't want to come here, I can't force her, can I?"
She still retains the ruthless instinct she had when she was young.
If you want to do something, you must do it; if you want to abduct someone, you must do everything you can to bring them back.
Just like her husband, she fell in love with him at first sight and used countless schemes to win him over.
Although he later said that he had already seen through her second scheme, he remained silent and willingly cooperated with her throughout the rest of the time.
But in the end, he was also lured into the Jiang family by her and stayed with her for decades before leaving.
Madam Jiang slowly wiped the corner of her eye.
...Now that I'm older and there's a child on the other end, I softened a bit halfway through the turn.
Just then, my phone suddenly vibrated.
The old lady put on her silver-chain glasses and glanced at them.
The next second, I couldn't help but laugh.
She admitted that she had already softened her heart.
"...But there are people who are even more soft-hearted than me."
"Li Qing".
The butler was about to clear the house when he heard this and immediately turned back.
Madam Jiang stood up with a smile: "Come with me to greet the guests."
...
Tu Yao was waiting in a corner of a bamboo grove in the courtyard. From her perspective, in her blind spot, there were three children who looked to be six or seven years old, wearing British-style vests and with indignant expressions.
"She doesn't like us. The first thing she did when we met was make me read a book, and she even stopped my horseback riding lessons!"
"She even made my mom cut off my allowance! And she won't let my brother go to the Milan Fashion Week!"
"My dad said, anyway, she's going to die soon..."
Hearing this, Tu Yao couldn't help but say, "Speaking ill of others behind their backs will make your mouth rot."
As soon as he finished speaking, the child's voice stopped abruptly.
The three children immediately looked over, and the youngest one of them panicked, saying, "You're talking nonsense!"
Tu Yao said with absolute certainty, "It will rot!"
Another child glared at them warily: "Don't believe her, she's definitely talking nonsense!"
Tu Yao patted Xiao Bao: "I'm not making this up. There used to be a kid in our village who always cursed people, just like you guys. He would always hide and curse his grandma, and eventually his mouth got sore!"
Having specific examples greatly enhances the authenticity for these children.
Two of the younger ones were clearly starting to lack confidence.
The older boy, realizing something, immediately questioned, "Then tell me, why didn't it break after I've scolded it so many times!"
Tu Yao rolled her eyes and casually pointed, "It's rotted in his mouth."
The boy who was called out was taken aback and subconsciously touched his lips.
He suddenly developed eczema on the corner of his mouth a couple of days ago; it was both painful and itchy.
"You're talking nonsense! Ethan has eczema!"
Tu Yao said matter-of-factly, "First, you get eczema, and then the eczema slowly festers, starting from the corner of your mouth and spreading to your face. That's the process!"
"In severe cases, it can even spread to the feet!"
Upon hearing this, the boy named Ethan looked terrified. "...It's all your fault! It's because you insulted my aunt that I have such a foul mouth!"
Another younger boy suddenly burst into tears: "I... I got a red spot on my leg a couple of days ago, is it because Tim scolded my auntie?!"
Tu Yao raised an eyebrow: "Of course!"
Now even the boy named Tim panicked!
"I...I...my back suddenly started itching last month! Was it because you guys were scolding my auntie!"
Tu Yao rested her chin on her hand: "That's right, that's right."
The three children immediately began blaming each other.
Before long, the sound of crying filled the air!
"What's going on!"
