"Tasty!"
[Chewing, chewing, chewing.]
Bai Yaxin smiled and patted Lin Tingyue's hair. Lin Tingyue then asked, "Is it just the two of us at home?"
"Your dad is in the study upstairs. The meal I ate was made by him. Your eldest brother went to the company, and your second brother went to work on a film set and hasn't come back yet. Xiawan just came back this morning, took a shower, and left again. I was worried about you and afraid you'd go hungry, so I've been waiting here."
[So it turns out that mom's love can always be waiting in the kitchen... Waaaaah.]
Bai Yaxin was startled, not understanding why Lin Tingyue would think that way. Her gaze towards Lin Tingyue softened even more, and she said, "Eat quickly."
"Good."
After dinner, Lin Tingyue accompanied Bai Yaxin to the garden to cut some flowers to put in a vase. While she was filling the vase with water, she received a message from Fan Qing inviting her to go shopping.
Lin Tingyue said goodbye to Bai Yaxin and then went out.
The two got tired of shopping and randomly found a coffee shop to sit down.
Fan Qing looked at the table by the window and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, isn't that...?"
Lin Tingyue asked, "You know Qingqing?"
"We know each other, I guess. He's been pursuing my mom lately."
No wonder Qingqing rolled her eyes so hard they were practically pointing to the sky.
[Uh, it seems the one pursuing Qingqing's mother isn't this guy, but his girlfriend...]
Chapter 59
Not him?
That's wonderful! He should take a look in the mirror. Does he even deserve her mother?
Wait, wait, wait, what did Yueyue just say? Who was chasing her mother?
His girlfriend?
Girlfriend... a girl!
Fan Qing finally realized that although her mother was beautiful and cool, and in her opinion as a mama's girl, it was reasonable for the whole world to like her mother.
But that doesn't mean you can let strange things in.
Why would she pretend to be her boyfriend to pursue her mother? What was she thinking?
Fan Qing, this idiot who reads novels, imagined a whole series of scenarios, including not being interested in the world.
"Socially acceptable, this time I'm going to use a different identity to love you"—these things might really appeal to her in a novel, but in the real world, they just seem so strange!
[I misread it, it's her ex-girlfriend, not her current girlfriend.]
Fan Qing quietly pricked up her ears.
[She did this to get revenge on her ex-boyfriend...]
Huh?
Go ahead and take revenge, what does it have to do with her mother?
This is utterly absurd, unreasonable, and completely fabricated!
[After breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, she was filled with resentment. Why was she so desperate for him, while he received no punishment? So she impersonated her ex-boyfriend to pursue Auntie Feng Auntie Feng, hoping to offend her and then teach her ex-boyfriend a lesson.]
What on earth is all this? Fan Qing facepalmed. Was her mother part of this people's scheme?
[What kind of thought process is this? Auntie Feng must be very busy, right?]
It's too low down.
Both of them lowered their heads.
But just as Fan Qing and Xin Shuwan were about to leave the coffee shop, a scene of reconciliation suddenly unfolded before their eyes.
[Oh, my eyes! You promised to punish him severely, what are you doing?!]
[Seriously? The ex-girlfriend wants her ex-boyfriend to experience heartbreak so he'll realize how good she is and come back to her.]
[I'd like to ask you this, and it's clearly the ex-girlfriend who initiated things.]
[Huh??? The ex-girlfriend suddenly realized that she couldn't live without her ex-boyfriend.]
Honestly, can a fish live without a bicycle?
Fan Qing made up her mind to ask for a talisman to ward off evil spirits for her mother; this was truly an undeserved disaster!
Fan Qing snapped out of her daze and found Lin Tingyue staring at her, her eyes frantically signaling something.
Fan Qing understood. She took out her phone and started snapping photos like crazy. " Yueyue, I'll tell my mom."
Lin Tingyue nodded in satisfaction.
[This child is teachable; this child is teachable.]
Fan Qing smiled and took Lin Tingyue's arm, saying, " Yueyue, let's continue shopping."
"Good."
Fan Qing called Lin Tingyue over this time mainly to buy clothes.
" Qingqing, are you going out to play?"
Lin Tingyue looked at Fan Qing, who was picking out clothes. Fan Qing said, "Yes, Mom said it's been a long time since we went out to play together. We're planning to go out and have some fun."
[very nice.]
Lin Tingyue's eyes almost lit up. Fan Qing had a sudden thought and asked, " Yueyue, are you going?"
Me?
"Uh-huh."
[This is a rare mother-daughter moment for Qingqing and Auntie Feng, I'm going to figure out what's going on.]
"I won't go, Qingqing. You and Auntie Feng have fun. We'll go together when you get back."
Fan Qing snuggled against Lin Tingyue's shoulder and said affectionately, " Yueyue, you're so sweet."
"Is that all?"
Fan Qing nodded vigorously.
[No, Qingqing is too easily fooled. I have to keep a close eye on her and make sure Qingqing doesn't get scammed.]
Fan Qing: "...?"
Is it possible that she only acts this way in front of Lin Tingyue?
Trying to fool her? No way!
However, seeing Lin Tingyue's genuinely worried expression, Fan Qing still felt it was worthwhile.
Fan Qing took a white dress inside to try it on. After coming out, Fan Qing stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking at herself from left to right, but felt that something was missing.
" Qingqing, you could wear a belt with it later, um... and pair it with a brown hat and bag, and maybe that would look better."
Fan Qing tried to imagine it and found it really quite good. She joked, " Yueyue, you have such a talent for fashion, why don't you become a blogger?"
Lin Tingyue blinked and said seriously, "I'm afraid of taking away everyone's livelihood."

"
Hahahaha.
Fan Qing was laughing so hard she was almost rolling on the floor.
Lin Tingyue: "?"
Lin Tingyue clenched her fists and asked through gritted teeth, " Fan Qing, what are you laughing at?"
Fan Qing said she wouldn't laugh anymore, but she actually still dared to.
Lin Tingyue grabbed Fan Qing, when suddenly a voice came from the side.
"Don't laugh. If you laugh, you won't look like her anymore."
Fan Qing's smile vanished in fright.
[What the heck, is this some kind of stand-in literature?]
Lin Tingyue and Fan Qing stealthily approached that direction.
Another voice rang out, "Yes, President Xie."
But this President Xie seemed unsatisfied and continued to nitpick.
"Why are you always so timid and hesitant? A Ran is a rich heiress, she could never be like you... Never mind."
Xie Jin grabbed Yu Huan's chin with one hand, forcing Yu Huan to lift his head. He looked at the face and said, "To resemble A Ran even five-tenths is already a blessing you've accumulated over several lifetimes."
Lin Tingyue rolled her eyes.
Do you want this good fortune?
Fan Qing silently echoed: That's right, that's right.
Xie Jin put his hands in his pockets, frowned, and said, "Go change into another outfit."
"Okay, President Xie."
Just Yu Huan took off his clothes, he suddenly met the gazes of Fan Qing and Lin Tingyue, who were there with the cat.
Yu Huan:?
She tentatively waved and said, "Hi?"
"Hi."
Xie Jin's expression darkened further. "How could there be other people here?"
[Of course, because this is a shopping mall where anyone can come in!]
The sales assistant copied her homework on the spot, then flashed a standard smile and said, " President Xie, this is a shopping mall."
President Xie replied with a mix of detachment and nonchalance, "This is the Xie Family's shopping mall. I have the right to tell them to leave. I don't like being disturbed when I bring people here."
[Me?]
[Oh God, I just came in to buy some clothes and unintentionally stumbled into this substitute literature. Please forgive me.]
Fan Qing finally couldn't hold back her laughter.
Xie Jin asked darkly, "What are you laughing at?"
Fan Qing raised his hand. "Reporting to President Xie, it's because I thought of something funny, hahahahaha."
Xie Jin:?
Are these two just messing with him?
At this point, the sales assistant added fuel to the fire, " President Xie, you can't kick them out. One of them is the second young lady of the Lin Family, and the other is the eldest young lady of the Feng Family."
As if afraid President Xie wouldn't lose face enough, the sales assistant whispered, "This piece of land belongs to the Lin Family."
Lin Tingyue: "!"
[Money money money money money.]
Fan Qing: "."
Lin Tingyue is always a money-grubber.
Neither the Lin Family nor the Feng Family family could be offended by the Xie Family. Xie Jin was furious but powerless, and finally sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed.
Yu Huan came out, twirled in front of Xie Jin, and asked sweetly, " President Xie, what do you think of this?"
Xie Jin was practically spitting fire. " A Ran doesn't like white."
What does Bai Yueguang (White Moonlight) like but not white?
Yu Huan pursed her lips and asked, "What color does your A Ran like?"
"It's all written in the materials I gave you, why didn't you read them carefully?"
"I'm sorry, President Xie, I'll definitely review it again when I get back, but I see there's still a lot to learn, and it might cost a bit..."
[Wait, is there really such a twist?]
Xie Jin suddenly pulled out a card and threw it on the ground. "Take it."
Yu Huan picked up the card. She wasn't angry at all, and still obediently said, "Thank you President Xie."
Unable to clear the area and forced to remain under surveillance, Yu Huan's unsatisfactory performance, Xie Jin grew increasingly irritated. He waved his hand and said, "Don't appear in front of me for the time being."
"OK."
After watching the show and enjoying the gossip, Lin Tingyue and Fan Qing left. As they exited the mall, they happened to see Yu Huan a taxi.
