Chapter 461 Returning Home
The next afternoon.
In a dark room.
Logan sat on the bed, her back against the headboard, the blue light from the tablet illuminating her face.
In the reflection of her eyes, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women with industrial characteristics were pulling each other back and forth.
Suddenly, the man pushed the woman against the wall, grabbed her neck with one hand, and kissed her hard on the lips.
At first, the woman would struggle and resist, constantly beating the man's chest.
Gradually, the woman's resistance weakened, and she even moved forward and took the initiative to cater to the boy.
Anyone who has watched the kissing scene in a certain Peninsula TV series will understand that the couple wanted to suck the other person into their stomach, and the scene was disgusting to watch.
Tang Wan fast-forwarded the video with an expressionless face.
My boyfriend is not around, I am alone, I can’t stand watching passionate scenes, and I get angry easily.
But since she thought of her boyfriend, Tang Wan simply took her phone and sent a message to Lu You.
[My beloved: Baby, what are you doing? ]
About half a minute later, Tang Wan received a reply.
【Husband: Space transfer is in progress. 】
【My beloved:?】
[My beloved: Say something I can understand. ]
【Husband: Take a ride back home.】
[My beloved: (╥_╥) Woohoo~]
[My beloved: Don’t you want me anymore? ]
[Husband: Grandpa and grandma urged me several times.]
【Husband: I can’t help it. 】
Tang Wan felt regretful. She had originally wanted to ask Lu You out for shopping and a movie in the evening, but she had to put it off until next time.
【My beloved concubine: Then I won’t bother you anymore. 】
[My beloved: Let me know when you arrive. ]
【Husband: OK.】
【Beloved:（づ￣3￣）づ】
Tang Wan put down her phone and continued watching the TV series.
After watching two episodes in a row, Tang Wan held her shoulders and stretched comfortably. Then she got up from the bed, planning to go to the toilet to flush the toilet and then come back to continue watching.
Just as Tang Wan finished peeing and came out of the toilet, she paused and had a strong premonition.
There is someone outside the house.
Tang Wan hurried over and saw the door of the house wide open. Zhao Huijuan was standing outside the door, carrying large and small bags in her hands, and there were two medium-sized cardboard boxes at her feet.
Judging from the outer packaging, the carton is most likely filled with fruit.
Seeing Tang Wan walking towards her, Zhao Huijuan said unceremoniously: "You've come at the right time, help me get something in."
Tang Wan first took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them on the ground, then went over and picked up the two boxes.
The heavy weight was beyond Tang Wan's expectations.
"It's so heavy! What's in it?"
"Nothing much, just some oranges, apples, and tangerines."
“No tangerines?”
"The tangerines your dad has aren't as good as those in Yangcheng. If you want to eat some, I'll go to the market and buy some from Guangxi Lao tomorrow."
"Thank you, Mom. You're the best!"
As a native Yue Province girl, Tang Wan is completely unable to resist the charm of Shatangju.
It is small and easy to peel, with thin skin and thick flesh, moderately sweet and sour, plenty of juice and no core. It is simply the fruit of dreams.
The mother and daughter entered the living room and put down the things in their hands. At the same time, Tang Jing also came out of the room and considerately poured a glass of water for Zhao Huijuan.
"Mom, you came back alone? Where's Dad?" Tang Jing asked.
"He has to catch up on his work, so he won't be back for a few days."
Zhao Huijuan drank water while examining the hygiene conditions at home.
The floor tiles were clean with no obvious stains, the cups on the coffee table were neatly arranged, and the trash can was covered with a trash bag. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it.
"You did a good job of cleaning, very professional," Zhao Huijuan praised.
Tang Jing was about to speak, but Tang Wan took the lead and said, "Of course! With me here, the sanitary bag will be no problem!"
"Oh, really?" Zhao Huijuan put down her water cup, stared at Tang Wan with a half-smile, and said, "But why did I hear that someone was the eldest young lady in the luxurious villa for more than ten days and was not willing to leave until yesterday?"
"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense! Someone must have slandered me!" As she spoke, Tang Wan turned her gaze to Tang Jing who was watching the show next to her.
Tang Jing shrugged and said, "Don't look at me, I didn't say anything."
"Slander? Do you think your Aunt Shen would slander you?"
When Tang Wan heard the words "Aunt Shen", she suddenly became deflated and didn't even have the thought of revenge.
There was no way, since Shen Yuyin was her future mother-in-law and a woman at the top of the Lu family's food chain, she couldn't possibly do anything wrong.
Tang Wan looked around, trying to find something to hide her guilty conscience.
Finally, her eyes fixed on the only remaining apple in the fruit basket.
"Mom, you've been on the bus for several hours. You must be tired and hungry. I'll go wash an apple for you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Wan grabbed the apple and ran into the kitchen before anyone could react.
In the huge living room, only Zhao Huijuan and Tang Jing were left.
Zhao Huijuan sat on the sofa and looked at Tang Jing carefully.
She and her eldest son haven't seen each other for a year.
Last summer vacation, Tang Jing spent two whole months on internship outside and did not go home once.
Otherwise, with someone at home, Zhao Huijuan would not go to other places to find Tang Yixiong, so Tang Wan could only live in Lu You's house.
After a year, Tang Jing has changed a little. He has become much stronger. Unlike before, he was tall and thin, like a telephone pole. I guess his daily life should be pretty good.
"How is your admission to graduate school going?" Zhao Huijuan asked.
"I've been admitted. I'm just waiting for the admission letter in June." Tang Jing replied truthfully.
"Before the admission letter arrives, will there be any unexpected events, such as the school reneging on its decision?"
Tang Jing understood that Zhao Huijuan didn't understand the process of guaranteed admission to graduate school, so he patiently explained, "No, when I said I was accepted, I didn't mean a verbal agreement, but the school officially announced it, with my name written in black and white and the official seal on it. I can't go back on my word. The subsequent admission letter is just a formality."
"That's good. By the way, how much is the tuition for graduate school per year? I'll ask your father to transfer it to you."
"No, the money I've saved over the past few years plus the subsequent scholarship is enough for me to get a doctorate."
Zhao Huijuan couldn't help but smile with relief.
My two children are both successful in their studies and have found their own families, which makes me feel at ease.
"You and that girl..."
Seeing that Zhao Huijuan couldn't call out her name, Tang Jing reminded her at the right time: "Zhiyi, her name is Xiang Zhiyi."
"Yes, what stage have you and Zhiyi reached? When do you plan to get married?"
Tang Jing scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"I haven't thought about this issue yet. After all, neither of us has a job and no stable source of income."
"It's time to think about it. You are 22 this year. It will take you several years to get a master's or doctorate. After graduation, you will have to work hard in the society for several more years. By the time you settle down, you will be at least 30 years old. At this age, it doesn't matter if you are a boy who ages slowly, but as a girl, you are almost half a flower. I hope you understand that time waits for no one."
Being a mother is like this. There are always endless things to worry about for your children. Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in infancy, being active and lively in childhood, being independent in adolescence, getting married and having children in adulthood, from the birth of the child until the death of the mother.
Although Tang Jing was impatient, he couldn't refuse Zhao Huijuan's sincere feelings, so he could only reply: "I know, I will find time to talk to Zhiyi."
It’s too late.
Some words are enough to be said once or twice. Saying them too many times becomes like taking advantage of one's seniority, doing bad things with good intentions, and making people annoyed.
Zhao Huijuan understood this logic, so she changed the subject decisively.
"By the way, when are you going to bring Zhiyi home for me to see? I haven't even seen what she looks like."
"Mom, you've actually met Zhiyi."
"Really? Why don't I remember?"
"Three years ago during the summer vacation, when you, dad, and Wanwan came to the capital for a trip, Zhiyi and I went to pick you up at the airport."
When Tang Jing said this, Zhao Huijuan immediately had an impression.
"It's her! A very pretty girl, enthusiastic and tactful. I could tell at first glance that she was interested in you."
When talking about the past, a strong sense of embarrassment welled up in Tang Jing's heart.
Thinking back to the beginning, he was trapped in his own internal conflicts. He knew Xiang Zhiyi's feelings but still turned a deaf ear to them. If Lu You hadn't reminded him, he would probably still be stuck in this predicament. Just thinking about it makes him sweat profusely.
At this time, Tang Wan came back, handed the washed apple to Zhao Huijuan, and said, "Mom, give me a hand."
As Tang Wan's mother, how could Zhao Huijuan not know the meaning of this? She asked back, "Can't you peel it yourself?"
Tang Wan uttered two words as a matter of course.
"will not."
In fact, Tang Wan had the skill of peeling apples, but she was unwilling to do it because Zhao Huijuan was there.
"If you don't know how, then learn!" Zhao Huijuan pointed at Tang Wan and said unhappily, "You are so old, but you can't even peel an apple. Do you think you have to ask Aunt Shen to peel an apple for you when you go to Xiao Lu's house?"
Tang Wan curled her lips and said disapprovingly, "Aunt Shen is too lazy to peel apples. People at home refresh the fruit plate at regular times, so why do you need to do it yourself?"
"Do you really think you are a young lady who has never had to do any housework?"
"I'm not pretending to be one, I am one."
"Hey, I haven't seen you for half a year. You've really grown up!" Zhao Huijuan stood up, looked left and right, as if looking for a weapon that suits her.
It is said that he who knows the times is a hero, and a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Seeing that the situation was not favorable to her, Tang Wan quickly put down the apple and said repeatedly: "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I will go back to my room first!"
"Don't even think about running away!"
By the time Zhao Huijuan picked up the clothes hanger, Tang Wan had already returned to the room and locked the door.
Zhao Huijuan walked to the door angrily and pressed the doorknob twice.
"Open the door for me!"
"not open!"
"Very good! If you can hide on the first day, how can you hide on the fifteenth? If you have the guts, then don't come out for the rest of your life!"
……
the other side.
After a two-hour drive, Lu You arrived at the Lu family mansion before dinner.
Lu You got out of the car, looked at the black carved iron fence gate in front of him that was two lanes wide, and then walked around to a small gate on the side for pedestrians.
Ding-dong-
【Face recognition successful】
Click——
The tightly closed iron door automatically opened a small hole the width of a finger.
Lu You opened the door and stepped in.
The car is the family car and the driver is also the family driver.
Originally, Lu You could take a car and have the driver take him straight to the parking lot of the mansion, but he was not in a hurry and wanted to tour the mansion alone, so he asked the driver to drop him off outside the gate.
The entrance to the mansion is a two-lane asphalt road with lush woods on both sides. There are two small pavilions in between, with stone tables and stone chairs inside, connected to the asphalt road by a stone road.
A hazy picture emerged in Lu You's mind: five or six children running around, three old people smiling kindly, and seven or eight adults chatting.
The past seemed like a beautiful dream. Lu You stopped and sighed for a while, then continued on his way.
His life is pretty good now. Both his family and his family are happy and he is not trapped in memories.
Passing through the woods, a disk stood in the center, and the straight asphalt turned into a roundabout road.
If Lu You remembered correctly, this disc used to be an artificial fountain, but for some unknown reason, it was later removed and replaced with a flower basket.
From top to bottom, the area increases from small to large, similar to the thousand-layer cake in a bakery.
Even though it is winter, the place is still green and there is not a single dead leaf.
It is said that in spring and summer, all the flowers in the flower baskets bloom in a riot of colour, and are extremely beautiful.
It’s a pity that spring and summer are the times when students study hard, so Lu You never got to see them.
Lu You continued walking inside and turned right at a fork in the road. The huge house and the spacious courtyard came into his sight.
In the courtyard, a huge creature caught Lu You's attention.
When his gaze shifted over, Lu You's heart skipped a beat.
"Wow! What a big lion!" (End of this chapter)
