The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 934 - 903: Is it a Ruse?

Qi Zhengmin drank tea to mask the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

"Miss Qi, what do you do for work?" Old Madam Tang asked, discerning good upbringing and family background from Qi Zhengmin’s attire and manner of speech.

Qi Zhengmin smiled and said, "Our family is in business! I learn alongside my brother."

"Oh, Miss Qi is really impressive," Old Madam Tang said. "By the way, Miss Qi, have you had your meal?"

"I have already eaten," Qi Zhengmin replied. "Thank you, Auntie." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"No need to thank me, I should be thanking you for bringing Tang Qian back," Old Madam Tang said. "Regardless, it is fate, come visit our home when you have time."

After drinking tea for ten minutes, Qi Zhengmin again proposed to take her leave.

Old Madam Tang didn’t try to keep her; she watched as Qi Zhengmin drove away this time.

Back inside the house, Old Master Tang and Old Madam Tang both turned to look at Tang Qian.

"Xiao Si, this girl, she looks familiar, but I just can’t remember who she is. Which family’s daughter is she?" Old Master Tang asked, having wanted to inquire earlier but fearing it might be impolite.

Old Madam Tang also looked hopefully at her son.

This time, the girl her son brought back was good.

Tang Qian, embarrassed by his parents’ scrutiny, said, "She is Qi Zhengmin, the one who visited the Huo Family with her brother. She is one of the heads of the Fuxi Automobile Company in Nan City. That day, you were just at the Huo’s playing chess with Uncle Huo, so you probably only glanced at her a few times."

"Oh!" Old Master Tang had a sudden realization. "Boy, not bad, getting to know Miss Qi so quickly. The injury today, was that a ploy of self-harm you staged?"

Although the method wasn’t exactly noble, it worked well.

"Son, although Miss Qi is not bad, for getting acquainted with the girl, you shouldn’t be crashing into her car," Old Madam Tang said, disapproving of her son’s method. If the car had been going faster, her son might have been in life-threatening danger!

Tang Qian gave a wry smile, even his own parents thought that.

Not to mention what others would think.

They would definitely be suspicious.

Thinking about what he was going to face, Tang Qian could only laugh and cry!

"Father, it really wasn’t intentional," Tang Qian said. "Although I really wanted that project, I wouldn’t just recklessly crash into someone’s car. Besides, I didn’t know that was Qi Zhengmin’s car! It just happened that I crashed into her car. After all, it’s a critical moment now, and I’m very busy."

"By the way, where did you go today?" Old Master Tang asked, knowing his son might lie in front of others, but believing there was no need for him to lie to his own parents.

"It’s also a coincidence. I went to see Huo Yingjie today and talked with him and his wife, setting up a meeting tomorrow at the International Hotel with the Qi Family Siblings," Tang Qian said with a wry smile. "He Tiantian already had a poor impression of me; if she finds out about tonight, she will definitely think it was intentional."

Old Master Tang also had a face full of reluctant amusement.

"Hmph, that’ll teach you for your previous reckless actions," Old Madam Tang said. "You can’t be like before anymore."

Tang Qian was also full of regret.

Thinking about what Huo Yingjie said about his fate with "Peach Blossom Evil," could it be true?

"Dad, you know how I’ve been since I was young, not a profoundly evil person. I’ve had relationships with so many women, not because I wanted to do it on purpose. Every time I met someone I liked, I wanted to seriously date them, but after a while, it became dull, and that’s when I’d start looking for the next one," Tang Qian said, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Unlike other irresponsible sons from affluent families who dated several women at the same time, Tang Qian grew tired of one before starting with another...

"It’s nothing but being flirtatious and affectionate!" Old Madam Tang said, glaring at her husband, who had been quite a catch in his youth, attracting girls who didn’t care that he was already married.

A crooked beam leads to crooked rafters.

"Cough, cough!" Old Master Tang, embarrassed by his wife’s glare, dismissed it as old trivial matters.

"Father, Huo Yingjie said I might be afflicted by the Peach Blossom Evil," Tang Qian said, "It might have been a joke at that time, but I feel like it could be true. I didn’t want to act that way, but I just found myself doing it anyway. Isn’t that strange?"

Hearing this, Old Master Tang was stunned and took a while before slowly asking, "Xiao Si, we’re your parents; you can’t lie to us just to save face. You say you really don’t want to chase women, but you can’t help yourself and keep seeking new ones?"

"Yes, indeed. I also feel it’s not right, but I just can’t control myself," Tang Qian said. "Now that I’m divorced, I might have a new family in the future. I don’t want my future wife and children to suffer because of issues with women."

He truly wanted to turn over a new leaf.

"Old man, hearing our son say this, it indeed sounds peculiar. Why don’t we find a master to look into it and resolve it?" Old Madam Tang suggested. It would be easy for their son to remarry with the Tang family’s power, certainly many families would be willing.

But Old Madam Tang feared becoming the next Li Gongru!

A good-for-nothing son causing trouble outside? When chaos ensued, even if they were dead, they wouldn’t rest in peace!

Old Master Tang thought for a while before slowly saying, "Alright, I’ll think of something. Now, Xiao Si, go upstairs and rest well. Take care of yourself these days, take your medicine, and stay away from water."

"Yes, Father." Tang Qian respectfully said, aware of the many connections his father had and the variety of people he knew, confident that his father would handle finding a master.

Tang Qian stood up and swaggered upstairs.

"Xiao Si, you just needed help walking, and now you can move around again?" Old Madam Tang curiously asked.

Her question exposed Tang Qian’s awkwardness; he didn’t answer and simply went upstairs.

"That sly kid." Old Master Tang laughed and scolded, "Didn’t you notice, he was pretending?"

"Pretending?" Old Madam Tang was stunned, then laughed, "Ah, among the children, Xiao Si, you resemble him the most, no wonder he’s your favorite. He’s caused so many problems, and you’ve resolved them all."

Old Master Tang smiled and said, "Alright, it’s getting late, let’s also rest."

If left to his old wife’s words, Old Master Tang’s youthful romantic adventures were brought up again.

Actually, Old Master Tang was also innocent, handsome aesthetics weren’t his fault, it wasn’t him actively seducing; moreover, for family harmony, he had already avoided many things.

But sometimes, even wanting to escape was not possible!

So... half willingly, half reluctantly...

Luckily, his wife was magnanimous. After scolding and hitting him, she let it go; otherwise, their home would have fallen apart.
