C582 Old Woman
The sudden appearance of Tangtang frightened Tang Wan quite a bit. She quickly pulled away from Yang Chen's embrace and tidied up her messy clothes and bangs. But how could the moved blush on her face disappear?
"It's all your fault. I'm going to die of shame!" As a mother, Tang Wan did her best to maintain her dignity in front of Tangtang. But now, she was extremely aggrieved.
Yang Chen smiled indifferently. He didn't mind being seen by Tangtang. Sometimes being thick-skinned could save him a lot of trouble.
Sure enough, in a blink of an eye, Tangtang, who was wearing a yellow denim shirt and white lace shorts, ran around a corner.
The high school girl with the ponytail was still as lively as ever. Seeing Yang Chen and Tang Wan standing together, Tangtang revealed a sly smile. With her hands behind her back, she hopped forward and leaned close to her mother's blushing face. She whispered, "Mom, did I disturb you?"
Tang Wanqing coughed and gave her daughter a glare. "You're not a little kid, are you? What nonsense are you talking about? Let me ask you, didn't I tell you to review at home? Why did you come here? I remember the car in the garage isn't allowed to move, right?"
"I didn't drive the car." Tangtang pouted and said, "It was Brother Yuan Ye who sent me here."
"Yuan Ye?" Tang Wan was stunned for a moment before she frowned. "He really listens to you."
As he spoke, Yuan Ye, who came along with Tangtang, also ran in. Seeing that Yang Chen was also here, Yuan Ye revealed a happy smile. He only recently found out from his parents that Yang Chen was the biological son of her aunt who had been separated for more than 20 years!
Although this piece of news shocked Yuan Ye, it was mostly filled with ecstasy! He had seen Yang Chen's fierceness many times. He treated him as his elder brother from the start, and now that they were related by blood, Yang Chen was his cousin. If not for his parents telling him not to disturb Yang Chen, he would have become Yang Chen's neighbor!
However, Tang Wan scolded him without waiting for Yuan Ye to come up to greet her, "Yuan Ye, how many times did I tell you not to mess around with Tangtang and let her study at home? Why did you bring her here?"
Yuan Ye's legs suddenly softened as he said with a fawning smile, "Auntie Tang, it was Tangtang who said that she wanted to see grandpa. I think that Grandpa Tang should be cured and will probably return to the Yanjing in a few days. Before we go back, it is only right for us juniors to come and take a look. "
"Yes, mom, if it wasn't for great-grandfather suppressing those bad people and protecting us, I would have had a chance to live this long. When great-grandfather was sick, you didn't let me come over, but now that I'm better, I'm not allowed to come over often. "What if great-grandfather doesn't know the inside story and still thinks that I, Tangtang, don't respect him?" Tangtang pulled Tang Wan's hand and said coquettishly.
Tang Wan harrumphed, "You have so many playthings, but you still managed to find a chance to run out. Since you are still a filial son, let's just forget about it this time." If you don't listen to me the next time, I'll lock you in your room! "
Tangtang nodded with a wronged expression, while Yuan Ye's face turned pale. This future mother-in-law was too cruel, so he had better be careful.
Yang Chen was gratified to see Tangtang being so obedient in front of Tang Wan. This girl had been rebellious in the past, but now she had grown up quite a bit.
It wasn't clear whether it was because he and Tang Wan were on the same level, or because Tangtang was previously just his little sister, but now, it seemed that he had really become her elder brother.
With a yawn, Yang Chen said lazily: "You guys go see Old Master Tang, then I won't bother your family anymore, I still have other places to go."
Seeing that Yang Chen was about to leave, although Tang Wan was a little reluctant, but it was not the right time to ask him to stay. She could only nod.
However, Yuan Ye suddenly caught up to Yang Chen and said with a smile, "Cousin Yang Chen, there's something I want to talk to you about."
Hearing this "cousin", Yang Chen felt a little awkward. He knew that his relationship with Yang Family must have been known by many. This cousin of Young Master Yuan Family must have known for a long time. He could only let him do as he pleased. "What is it?"
"About this, let's go out and talk." Yuan Ye chuckled.
Yang Chen was stunned. Why did he have to avoid Tang Wan and her daughter when he said that? He couldn't help but become more curious, so he nodded and followed Yuan Ye out of the garden.
Lili pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. She wasn't surprised that Yuan Ye called Yang Chen his "cousin," and Yuan Ye had no reason to hide it from her, but Lili was very open-minded. Whether or not Yang Chen was a blood cousin, he was her uncle, and now she said sourly, "Why does Brother Yuan Ye avoid talking to Uncle? What does he have to hide from us?"
When Tang Wan heard Yuan Ye call Yang Chen "Cousin", a trace of helplessness and clarity flashed through her beautiful eyes. She had already known from Yang Jieyu that Yang Chen was Yang Family's eldest grandson, and this matter was no longer a secret in the Yanjing's large families.
The reason why she didn't ask Yang Chen about anything else was because she knew very well that Yang Chen definitely didn't like this identity of his. Moreover, Yang Pojun and Yang Lieh are not happy with Yang Chen, and Guo Xuehua and her husband separation, she also heard about the matter.
Yang Chen would definitely have a headache over the Yang Family, so she didn't burden Yang Chen too much.
Thinking back to how she had introduced the Yang Family in front of Yang Chen, how she had said that she had a good impression of the Yang Family, etc., Tang Wan felt that everything had been arranged by the heavens.
Looking at her daughter's unhappy face, Tang Wan smiled and shook her head, saying, "There are some things a man should say to a man, so don't make things too difficult for Yuan Ye. If I don't let you listen, it will definitely be for your own good. "When you get married and live together with Yuan Ye in the future, this sort of situation will happen a lot."
Tangtang blushed and said shyly, "Mom, are you serious? What marriage? I haven't even entered university yet."
"Hmph, big sister Yang, you should leave me early to throw you into the Yuan Family, to save my mind. It would be best if your aunt Yang becomes an evil grandma and takes good care of you for me." Tang Wan joked with her daughter.
Tangtang huffed, "I know, Mom. You must have felt that I was a hindrance to you, wanting to leave me behind and follow Uncle to sweet-talk, right?"
Tang Wan's heart trembled. She stopped Tangtang and said, "Nonsense, Yang Chen has a wife."
"I know, Sister Lin. Last time when I went with Brother Yuan Ye to visit you, I saw Sister Lin and we went to sing together. Although Sister Lin is beautiful, my mom is not bad too. A big pervert like Uncle will definitely bow down under your skirt!" Tangtang's eyes shone with encouragement.
Tang Wan's heart churned. Listening to Tangtang calling Yang Chen "Uncle" made her feel quite happy. That was because she wanted Yang Chen to be in the same generation as her. But that was a bit of deceiving himself, because to be honest, Yang Chen was in the same generation as Yuan Ye, so Yang Chen was younger than him.
At the end of the day, once Yang Chen confirmed that he was the eldest grandson of Yang Family, then when he was with him, it didn't matter whether …
At this moment, Tangtang suddenly stretched out her arms and tightly hugged Tang Wan's slender waist. Because she was one head shorter than her mother, Tangtang's head was directly pressed against Tang Wan's supple chest.
Tang Wan was stunned for a moment before smiling helplessly and said, "Little girl, have you gone mad again? You're already this old and you still want to drink milk? How embarrassing."
However, Tangtang whispered, "Mom, I won't call you 'sister' from now on …"
"Hmm?" Tang Wan was puzzled and didn't understand what Tangtang was going to say.
"I know, Mom. You gave birth to me at such a young age, and it was hard for you to bring me up by yourself. I also know, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have come to Zhong Hai from the Yanjing alone for over ten years. I know that you have been alone here all these years.
"But I was very naughty in the past, causing trouble for you, making trouble for you, running away from home to make you worry, and even getting you to help me clean up if something happens. I always call you 'Big sister', I get angry, I don't call you 'mother' …"
She listened to her daughter's narration. Tang Wan's eyes sparkled as she caressed her daughter's back with a smile. "Silly girl, of course I'm responsible for you when you're born. As long as you understand, it'll be fine as long as you don't cause anymore trouble for your mother."
"Mom, if you like Uncle, then stay with him!" Tangtang raised her head with a serious expression.
Tang Wan was stupefied, but she didn't expect her words to suddenly change to this side.
"I know Mom likes Uncle. I know Uncle is a good man. If Brother Yuan Ye wasn't in my heart, I might have liked Uncle even if I didn't care.
So what if Uncle gets married? For so-called big families like us, don't these men have multiple wives and concubines? Although the uncle was a lecherous man, he still treated his woman sincerely. Besides, he wasn't just a woman.
Mom … If you drag it out, it's because of me. I, Tangtang, have already grown up, and I will never call you 'big sister' like I did when I was young. I will only call you 'mother'. As you said, I'm going to be married in two years.
If you were alone when I married you, how could I bear to leave you? For the sake of your daughter's happiness, mother, you can love her boldly. "
The series of clear and profound words made Tang Wan tear up. Looking at the young face that resembled hers, Tang Wan finally understood why she was so happy to be a mother.
There was nothing more gratifying than the growth of one's children.
"Is there such a thing as kissing your mother and pushing your daughter into the arms of a bad man? Also, why aren't you calling me 'sis' anymore? Do you think that your mother and I are very old?" Tang Wan said with a tear-filled smile.
Tangtang's eyes were slightly red. "I was afraid that you would be concerned about me and not want to strive for your happiness. Besides, you're not young anymore, and you want your daughter, who's twenty years younger than you, to call you 'elder sister'. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Stupid girl, you're asking for a beating!" Tang Wan couldn't stop her tears from falling, but she was still smiling happily. Her palm landed lightly on Tangtang's butt and hit it a few times.
Tangtang had a resigned look on her face as she hugged her mother's waist tightly. With her head stuffed into the two lumps of fertility, she mumbled, "Let's fight! Let's fight! The old woman, Tang Wan, is shameless! She told her daughter to call her big sister … Shameless... "Shameless …"
The mother and daughter pair spanked each other with a single word. They were crying and laughing and making a ruckus in the garden.
