When Chu Luo arrived outside the company door, she happened to hear a middle-aged woman raise her voice and accuse someone sharply.
“You heartless ingrate. If it weren’t for Xiao Yue’s family, how could you have the money to study in university? Now that you’ve studied and become successful, you’ve forgotten your roots, haven’t you?”
“Mom, can we talk at my place first?”
Tang Zhiyun sounded helpless and tired.
Chu Luo stopped when she reached the door. She glanced at Tang Zhiyun’s mother, who was a traditional and domineering middle-aged rural woman.
The young woman standing beside the middle-aged woman should be Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue was petite and had average looks. She was splendidly dressed, and it was clear that she had put effort into dolling up.
While the middle-aged woman faced off against Tang Zhiyun, this young lady didn’t speak but stood there obediently. However, her eyes darted between Tang Zhiyun and the entire company with satisfaction and determination.
Beside the woman stood a bespectacled man who bore some resemblance to Tang Zhiyun. He must be his younger brother.
He was also advising the middle-aged woman. “Mom, let’s listen to Brother and go back with him to his place. We’ve been here all this time. If a client comes, it will definitely affect Brother’s business.”
“Is business more important than your brother’s life? If he doesn’t give me a definite answer today, I won’t leave.”
At this point, the middle-aged woman said to Tang Zhiyun earnestly, “Zhiyun, Mommy is doing this for your own good. Xiao Yue’s family has helped us so much. When you were in university, I promised them that you would marry Xiao Yue.
“Look, you have your own company now. Once you become a boss, shouldn’t you marry a wife? Xiao Yue has also graduated from university. She’s just right for you. She’ll definitely be able to help you when the time comes.”
At this moment, Xiao Yue finally said, “Brother Tang, I study economics management in university. I can help you manage the accounts when the time comes.”
“Exactly. Xiao Yue told me before that she likes to draw. She wanted to study in the Academy of Fine Arts, but she ended up studying economics management in order to help you.”
The two of them chimed in as if Tang Zhiyun was a heartless and unfaithful man.
Tang Zhiyun pursed his lips and waited for them to finish speaking before saying, “Mom, Xiao Yue’s family did help me and my younger siblings, but I’ve been returning the money to them since I received the first sum of money. After receiving the 200,000 yuan from the international competition, I gave the money to Xiao Yue’s older brother to build a house and marry a wife. Wasn’t that repaying her family’s kindness?”
“Tang Zhiyun, what are you talking about? You should repay kindness with kindness. Since you can earn money now, what’s wrong with helping Xiao Yue’s family with some money?”
Tang Zhiyun’s younger brother couldn’t stand it anymore. “Mom…”
“Don’t talk.” Mrs. Tang bellowed at Tang Zhiyun’s brother and said to Tang Zhiyun domineeringly, “I have agreed to your marriage with Xiao Yue. If you don’t want to, don’t go to work. If you’re an ingrate, you might as well go back and farm.”
Hearing this, Chu Luo suddenly laughed and clapped.
Her clap attracted everyone’s attention.
When Tang Zhiyun’s mother, younger brother, and Xiao Yue saw Chu Luo, the three of them were stunned by her appearance.
Tang Zhiyun’s younger brother blushed.
Xiao Yue thought of something and turned pale. She asked Tang Zhiyun anxiously, “Brother Tang, is she the person you like?”
When Mrs. Tang heard this, she suddenly came back to her senses. Her expression changed and she looked at Chu Luo as if she was looking at a vixen.
“Tang Zhiyun, how dare you like such a woman? With such a beautiful face, she must not be a good woman!”
“Mom.” Tang Zhiyun’s face darkened when he heard this. “Are you done? You can criticize me, but not Junior.”
“What?” Tang Zhiyun’s mother’s voice changed and she said in exasperation, “How dare you shout at me just for this woman who looks like a vixen?”
“Auntie Tang.” Chu Luo exuded a fierce aura. Just as she was suppressing Tang Zhiyun’s mother, she walked over and said as she walked, “I call you Auntie because you are the mother of my senior. Otherwise, I would have asked someone to throw you out of here.”
“How dare you!”
“Then see if I dare?”
“Junior, calm down, calm down.” When Xie Minghai and the others heard Chu Luo say that, they knew that she was angry. Worried that she would really get someone to throw Mrs. Tang down, they quickly stopped her.
Xie Minghai whispered to her, “This is Old Tang’s mother, after all. We’ll let Old Tang resolve this matter himself.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Tang glared at Chu Luo. “Tang Zhiyun, look at this crush of yours. This person has some manners…”
“Enough. Junior isn’t my girlfriend at all. Mom, how much trouble do you want to cause?”
Tang Zhiyun gave Chu Luo an apologetic look and said to his mother in a low voice, “Without Junior’s help, we wouldn’t have been able to set up our company. You have been domineering all these years, and I have let you do whatever you want in the past. But… I can’t let you criticize Junior. You don’t have to worry about my marriage anymore.”
“Aiyo… You’re all grown up now, huh. You don’t even acknowledge me as your mother anymore. I’ve worked so hard to raise you, and this is how you repay me…”
Tang Zhiyun’s mother started to cry and was about to sit on the ground.
Tang Zhiyun turned pale.
The other boys were also anxious to pull her.
Seeing this, to prevent herself from being impulsive, Chu Luo said to Tang Zhiyun, “Senior, take your mother away first.”
Tang Zhiyun nodded at her and gestured to his brother that they should carry their mother away.
Xiao Yue suddenly stopped in front of Chu Luo. She looked at the clothes and jewelry on Chu Luo and said with a pleading gaze, “I can tell at a glance that you’re a lady from a wealthy family. You’re also so beautiful. You can have all kinds of boyfriends. Brother Tang and I have long been engaged. I won’t marry anyone other than him. Please don’t break us up.”
Chu Luo moved her fingers and felt a little itchy.
She wanted to slap such a person.
Xiao Yue seemed to have sensed that she wanted to beat someone up and quickly chased after them.
Chu Luo turned around and coldly looked at the few people who had left.
Xie Minghai and the others quickly walked up to Chu Luo to appease her.
“Junior, calm down. Let’s just treat that woman as air. She’s an insignificant person anyway. Instead of being angry at her, you might as well read a few more books.”
“Exactly. I think that woman said something to Old Tang’s mother that made Old Tang’s mother cause such a commotion. We have to trust that Old Tang can handle this.”
Chu Luo looked at the three of them and asked, “Did anyone tell Sister Wu about this?”
“Not yet. Taozi told us you were back this morning, so I called you.”
Chu Luo nodded and took out her phone to dial.
Yu Lei quickly stopped her. “Junior, don’t. Old Tang hasn’t confessed to Teacher Little Wu yet. If you tell her about this and she doesn’t like Old Tang, she may very well ignore Old Tang for good.”
Xie Minghai and Xu Qingfeng immediately nodded in agreement.
Chu Luo glanced at them. This was the first time she had encountered such a person. She had no experience. Thinking about it now, she felt that it was actually very easy to resolve this matter.
She curled her lips and said, “Then let’s see if Sister Wu likes Senior Tang.”
After saying that, she dialed a number.
Wu Yiyao picked up the call quickly. It sounded a little noisy on the other end. “Little Chu, you actually called me. Are you already back?”
Chu Luo: “Yes.”
Then, she asked, “Sister Wu, are you busy now?”
Wu Yiyao: “No. My mother and I happened to be shopping when we met an old friend of hers. We’re sitting in a cafe drinking coffee.”
Chu Luo: “Then can you leave?”
Wu Yiyao: “Sure. My mother and her friend have agreed to go to the hair salon in the afternoon. I’ll just sit there anyway. Where are you? I’ll come and look for you.”
Chu Luo: “I’m in the seniors’ company.”
Wu Yiyao: “Okay, I’ll come after informing them.”
The two of them hung up.
Before Chu Luo could put away her phone, Xie Minghai asked anxiously, “Junior, is it really good for you to do this? What if…”
“Don’t worry. If Sister Wu really likes Senior Tang, she naturally won’t sit back and do nothing. If she doesn’t, isn’t that good that we know?”
“But…”
The three boys were still a little worried, but they didn’t know what to say, so they could only go to work first.
Chu Luo had nothing to do, so she worked with them.
Wu Yiyao arrived more than 40 minutes later.
When she walked to the company, she subconsciously scanned the entire company and the open office and asked, “Is Little Tang not around today?”
Chu Luo looked up from the computer and gestured to her. “Sister Wu, come over and sit first. I have something to talk to you about.”
Wu Yiyao walked over and sat beside her.
The three boys instantly became nervous. At the same time, they stopped what they were doing and stretched their ears.
Chu Luo didn’t say that Tang Zhiyun liked her. She told her about Tang Zhiyun’s family in a few simple words.
After saying that, she asked her, “Sister Wu, how do you think we should resolve this matter?”
