“What?”
By this point, Wu Tong was even more confused than before.
She had heard of Liang Qing’s personality had been unconventional out of all the other Chinese painting masters, but after getting along for the last two days, she felt like Liang Qing had actually been straight forward, which garnered Wu Tong’s admiration and respect from the bottom of her heart. She didn’t expect Liang Qing to say such ridiculous words.
Liang Qing did not feel any abruptness in the situation. In the last two days, Liang Qing was really appreciative of Wu Tong and liked her, hence why she abandoned Meng Fan. She appreciated Wu Tong’s professional knowledge and her professional ability that separated personal matters from the customer and enjoyed Wu Tong’s temperament as it suited her own character.
She reached out and sat with Wu Tong on the sofa and smiled. The corners of her mouth and eyes were crinkled into a smile, her whole body radiating friendliness and kindness. Lightly, she spoke to Wu Tong. “From the first time I saw you, I thought that we were fated to meet. In the last two days interacting with you, I’ve been very happy. I really feel like there’s spiritually a mother-in-law relations.h.i.+p between us. I like you from the bottom of my heart, and I hope we can get along like mother and daughter. I want you to be my G.o.ddaughter, are you willing?”
Wu Tong finally understood where this “call me mom” came from. She remained sunk in thought for a moment, then responded, “You’ve always been my idol, so I feel very lucky to be able to be your a.s.sistant and get to know you these last two days. Your recognition of me is an even bigger honor…”
Liang Qing interrupted Wu Tong’s thoughts. “I don’t want your honor, because I don’t need a fan and an admirer. I want a daughter, one that will be considerate and love me like a little coat, so I just want to know if you are willing to or not, from the bottom of the heart. Don’t be reluctant.”
Wu Tong’s mouth slowly formed into a smile, tears glimmering in her eyes as she nodded.
“Silly child, don’t cry!”
Seeing Wu Tong’s tears, Liang Qing also began to cry. She reached out and wiped the corners of Wu Tong’s eyes.
Both were very strong-willed people, but they became emotional easily towards heartfelt moments.
“But.” Wu Tong flapped her hands in front of her eyes. “I have to tell my parents first. And, I can’t accept these things, really. It’s too expensive.”
“Of course, I will respect your parents’ opinions.” Liang Qing smiled. “As for the latter, I shall dismiss it! If a little girl like you can buy me such an expensive gift, I have to reciprocate with something! Besides, you said you can earn money, but how much do you make in a month? Three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand? Even if you made more than that, that scarf was still a big expense for you.”
She pointed at the bags and clothes and shoes that had just been pushed over. “These items I’ve picked for you aren’t a big expense to me. To be honest, what you gifted me is much more valuable. You’re way more generous than me!”
“But…”
“Okay okay okay, I’ll back off a bit. Purses, outfits, shoes, you pick two, and then two accessories! If you still refuse, I’ll get angry!”
Seeing Wu Tong’s defeated nod, Liang Qing was blooming with joy. After Wu Tong selected two items, Liang Qing unreasonably picked a few other individual items that she felt was appropriate and paid for the order. They shopped around for a while before Liang Qing remembered Meng Fan. It was by then she realized that she had taken things a bit too far!
Her own son liked Wu Tong, very much at that, and now Wu Tong was half a step away from becoming her own G.o.ddaughter!
Previously she had joked she’d bring Meng Fan a wife home, but now, she’s bringing him a G.o.dsister!
If Meng Fan found out the girl he liked had become his G.o.dsister, h.e.l.l would break loose!
At this thought, Liang Qing was ecstatic.
Just thinking about it was exhilarating!
…
…
“I’m so happy today, something that surprised me happened. I’ll tell you about it once it’s confirmed.”
“These last few days were busy, but starting tomorrow I can relax.”
“How are you doing over there? Is the sports meet going smoothly?”
This was the WeChat message Wu Tong had sent him at eleven o clock. She still had to alert her family of the G.o.dmother’s request even though they were most likely to agree and respect her wishes, as they knew how much she adored Liang Qing. But before such an important thing was confirmed, she wouldn’t share it with others.
“It was pretty smooth, I won the shot put gold medal.”
At this time, Meng Fan was still touring the Xizi lake’s scenic area. He had just finished brus.h.i.+ng one scenic spot and took off his hat to buy a drink when Wu Tong’s Wechat message popped up.
He knew Wu Tong had been busy these last two days because of the exhibition, so whatever made her so happy today must have been related to that. After all, he knew what level his mom was at. For a current student like Wu Tong to attend such a grand exhibition, she must have gained experience from all its aspects.
As for what she needed to confirm, Meng Fan was curious but did not dare to ask.
Two days after his excuse of dropping his phone in water, Wu Tong remained very busy, so she had not mentioned the existence of Ms. Liang Qing. Meng Fan had also tried to avoid the topic of Hong Kong in their conversation.
His thoughts were simple. As long as Wu Tong does not mention Liang Qing to him, everything would be okay. He did not have to deliberately deceive her.
At this time, Meng Fan wouldn’t even dream of his mother’s supernatural doings.
What made Meng Fan even happier was receiving a message from his mother after talking to Wu Tong, saying she suddenly missed his dad and was going to take the next flight to Dubai.
Seeing that she was riding the red-eye flight at 1:00 am, he discovered newfound respect.
Finally, Meng Fan knew where his dad had been.
It made sense. His father had traveled the world searching for research and communication opportunities, so he must have attended something in Dubai. After all, it was a fantasy paradise for architects.
Although he couldn’t wait for his mom to leave Hong Kong and leave Wu Tong, hearing she was going to Dubai at one in the morning, Meng Fan was very concerned.
He wasn’t concerned about the plane being hijacked, it had been before he was reborn on his way from Lion City to j.a.pan. There was no use worrying, as it could have happened to anyone. However, he always wavered on the cautious side when loved ones were on a plane.
“Then you have to be careful when you travel, make sure all your food, drinks, and money are all on you. Also, bring two more people with you if you can.”
“Food, drink, and amenities? Do you think I’m a poor tourist? What does the plane not have already?! And I’m going to find your dad to go on a date, why would I bring two others with me?!”
“If dad has any mistresses on the side, then you have to have witnesses at the scene!”
“Get lost!”
“Hehe, dad just posted in his moments and deleted it within seconds. I was wondering why he looked so satisfyingly drunk like royalty, and it turns out he’s in Dubai!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Liang Qing replied, then with murderous intent knocked down the doors of her two students.
“You have five minutes to get ready and come with me to Dubai.”
Both students smiled bitterly. Professor you finally remembered us!
