Chapter 76: Waiting for Your Update
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Si family was the host of the dinner. In addition, Zheng Wen had a good impression of Bai Ting. She asked enthusiastically, “Tingting, are you used to living in China?”
Bai Ting replied obediently, “It’s alright. Although I haven’t been back to China for more than 20 years, my parents have been educating me according to some Chinese ideologies overseas. So, in terms of ideology and culture, I can still integrate into it relatively quickly.”
When Si Ming and Zheng Wen saw this, they were even more satisfied with Bai Ting. Zheng Wen looked at Mi Li and Bai Zheng and said, “The two of you are indeed in the education industry. You raised Tingting really well. She’s so obedient! Unlike our Si Cheng, who has too many ideas and is not able to be controlled at all.”
This kind of daily pleasantries had to be exchanged. When Mi Li heard Zheng Wen’s words, she smiled and replied, “Boys are different. It’s good for them to have more ideas. This proves their capabilities.”
Seeing that Si Cheng had no intention of interacting with Bai Ting, Zheng Wen kicked Si Cheng’s leather shoes under the table and secretly glared at Si Cheng, telling him not to forget what she had told him before coming.
Si Cheng pursed his lips and started to find a topic to talk about with Bai Ting. Only then did Zheng Wen not say anything else.
When they were almost done eating, the two families walked out of the private room and agreed to go out to sea together on the weekend.
Zheng Wen held Bai Ting’s hand and said reluctantly, “Auntie has always wanted a daughter, but it’s a pity that she’s not fated with girls. When you’re free in the future, you can come to my house often and chat with me.”
Bai Ting glanced sideways at Si Cheng, then lowered her head slightly and replied shyly, “As long as Auntie welcomes me, I’ll visit you another day.”
Seeing this, Zheng Wen knew that the Bai family had taken a fancy to Si Cheng. She patted the back of Bai Ting’s hand and chuckled. “Welcome! Si Cheng, Tingting has just returned from overseas and is not familiar with the country. Take the time to bring her around Sea City.”
Zheng Wen looked at Si Cheng. Si Cheng pursed his lips tightly and didn’t want to answer, but under Si Ming’s gaze, he finally obliged and smiled at Bai Ting. “When you’re free one day, I’ll bring you around.”
Bai Ting smiled and nodded.
The two families were saying goodbye at the door of the private room. Si Cheng casually turned his head and saw Tan Ming standing less than two meters away with a mocking expression.
Tan Ming was very puzzled by the Si family’s confusing behavior of looking for the next family already before getting a divorce. However, on second thought, it was not a bad thing for her, so she walked forward.
Zheng Wen also noticed Tan Ming at this moment. Her pupils constricted slightly as she hurriedly said to the Bai couple, “It’s getting late. Let’s leave quickly.”
At this moment, Tan Ming had already walked up to them and revealed a bright smile. “Dad, Mom, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to see you here.”
When the Bai couple saw Tan Ming suddenly appear, they were puzzled. Si Cheng was the only son, so where did his sister come from? Mi Li looked at Zheng Wen and asked, “This is?”
Zheng Wen wanted to slap Tan Ming to death. It wasn’t easy for her to establish a foreign connection for the Si family, but it was all ruined now!
Zheng Wen’s face was ashen. Before she could think of a reply, she saw Tan Ming smiling at the Bai couple and replying directly, “h.e.l.lo, Uncle and Auntie. I’m Si Cheng’s soon-to-be-divorced wife. It’s not easy to meet Dad and Mom usually. I happened to see them today, so I came to greet them.”
Tan Ming didn’t care how shocking the bombsh.e.l.l she had dropped was. He looked at Si Cheng and said, “Si Cheng, let’s hurry up and settle our procedures. Otherwise, this lady’s existence will be very awkward.”
Tan Ming was just watching the show now. After saying that, she intentionally looked at Si Ming and Zheng Wen. “Dad, Mom, don’t you think so? For every day that Si Cheng and I haven’t completed the divorce procedures, this lady would have to bear a bad reputation for another day, wouldn’t she?”
The so-called bad reputation was to be a mistress. When the Bai couple heard this, their expressions turned very ugly. They were also a reputable family. They were filled with anger to have encountered such a thing when they wanted their daughter to get married.
Zheng Wen gritted her teeth and glared at Tan Ming. However, it was not appropriate to say too much in this situation. The more she talked about things, the more would be exposed. She could only endure this anger and say with a stiff face, “Si Cheng was busy with work previously. We’ll take some time out in the next two days!”
Tan Ming was very satisfied with this answer and nodded. “Si Cheng, did you hear what your mother said? I’ll wait for your update.”
After Tan Ming finished speaking, she raised her head slightly and walked past the two families to the end of the corridor..
