When Su Yang saw that, he walked over and asked, Sister Tang, whats wrong? Did something happen?

Hearing Su Yangs voice, Tang Jing snapped back to her senses and shook her head. Nothing, Im fine.

After saying that, she glanced at the time and said, Oh my God, its already so late. I should go ahead and start cooking.

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Changing The Subject]

Tang Jing avoided Su Yangs gaze and hurried to the kitchen.

Su Yang looked at Tang Jings, who was acting strangely, from behind and frowned. I wonder what kind of problem shes going through.

He walked to Tang Xiaomi who was watching cartoons in the living room and asked softly, What happened to your mommy?

Tang Xiaomi, who was watching Penny Pig, was smiling like a little fool. When she heard Su Yangs question, she raised her head and blinked her big eyes at him. She said in her coquettish voice, I dont know. Mommy didnt say anything when she came back today.

Su Yang looked at Tang Xiaomis big eyes and cute little face. In his heart, he attributed Tang Xiaomi to the category of Being Tricked Into Giving Birth To A Daughter.

However, Tang Xiaomi did not know what had happened to Tang Jing. This is strange, am I overthinking this?

Thats impossible. I might think too much, but my [Space Traversing Eyes] cant be thinking too much. It was able to tell that Tang Jing was changing the topic.

With that thought in mind, Su Yang decided to have a chat with Tang Jing after dinner. Coincidentally, he wanted to talk to Tang Jing about the investments as well.

Not long after, the meal was ready. It was a standard meal for three people which consisted of three dishes and a bowl of soup.

However, despite it being standard, the quality of the dishes was a little different from before.

In the past, even if Tang Jings cooking was not perfect in terms of appearance, smell, and taste, it would at least be fragrant and flavorful. However, on that day, all the dishes that Tang Jing had whipped up were completely inedible because the soup was too bland and the dishes were too salty..

The little brat, Tang Xiaomi, always liked to eat first. On that day, after she picked up a mouthful of food, she felt that it was too salty, but she deliberately endured it. She even revealed a cute smile on her face.

That was why Su Yang was tricked into taking a big bite of the food as well and he thought that the food was so salty his expression could almost be turned into an emoji. He deeply suspected that the salt in his house might have been free.

The moment Tang Xiaomi saw Su Yang eating the food, she immediately frowned and spat her food out. Pui pui pui.

At that time, Su Yang felt as if he had raised a little devil.

Tang Jing was shocked when she saw their expressions and quickly brought them water.

After drinking the water, the both of them finally calmed down. They started to stand united as they attacked Tang Jing.

After hearing their complaints, Tang Jing carefully picked up a piece of vegetable and tasted it. This is really salty. She blushed in embarrassment and the redness spread from her cheeks to her fair neck.

In the end, Su Yang went to the kitchen to make a few dishes, which were actually made from the [Grass-Eating Iron Pot]. Then, they finished their dinner.

However, Su Yang was now certain that Tang Jing had something on her mind.

So, after dinner, Su Yang sent Tang Xiaomi to the living room to watch television. After he and Tang Jing were done with the dishes, they returned to the dining room where Su Yang intended to have a chat with Tang Jing.

Tang Jing did not refuse his offer and sat beside him at the dining table. Coincidentally, the two of them were sitting at the exact same spot as they had sat last night. The only difference was that Tang Jing was in the light last night while Su Yang was in the dark. On that day, both of them were in the light together.

After they sat down, Su Yang asked Tang Jing, Sister Tang, you seem a little off today. Did something happen?

Tang Jing quickly shook her head. Nothing, nothing at all.

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [False]

Su Yang looked into Tang Jings eyes. Sister Tang, dont lie to me

Tang Jing took a glance at Su Yang, not daring to meet his eyes. Then, she averted her gaze and lowered her head. After a while, she whispered, Su Yang, I would like to move out with Xiaomi

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Conflicted], [Reluctant]

Su Yang frowned. Why?

Tang Jing raised her head and looked at Su Yang. Her eyes were as gentle as water. I had to disturb you previously because I was at my wits end. But I cant stay in your house with Xiaomi. Youre only 19 years old and you have your own life. Youve got to fall in love, start a family and have your own children.

And to you, we are just a burden.

[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Sincere, [Sadness]

Su Yang was silent.

Shes caught me off guard completely. I didnt expect Tang Jing to be talking about this today.

Honestly, Ive already grown a little used to having Tang Jing and Tang Xiaomi by my side.

Even though Im often in the virtual space and dont come out often, even though Im often busy and am away from home, every time I come out, Tang Xiaomi, the joybringer, would definitely be by my side and giggle away like an optimistic little fool.

Every morning, I would have a glass of milk and a piece of bread or a sandwich and a piece of ham. This has become a necessity at the dining table.

Even though Tang Jing wasnt around, my heart still felt warm when I saw the breakfast she prepared.

Every week, I would chat with Tang Jing for a few nights, walk around the lawn and look at the grey skies of Shanghai. All of these have become part of my life routine.

Im used to having both of them by my side. Theyre like my family and friends who have accompanied me.

Yet, who knew The day when they told me that theyre leaving my life would come.

For a moment, Su Yang could not accept it.

The smile on his face slowly faded and he became expressionless.

Sensing Su Yangs unhappiness, Tang Jing started to panic. She stuttered as she tried to explain, Xiaoyang, dont let your imagination run wild. This is just a thought that I have in my mind.

She said, As you know, Ive been earning money with you recently and I have money now. So, it wont be appropriate for me to keep on staying here.

The more she spoke, the more confused she became because she sounded like she was being ungrateful.

In fact, she had also realized that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly explained, No, no, thats not what I meant. Im not saying that Im leaving you because I have money now. Its, its, its because I

Even after she kept on stuttering for a long time but still could not say what the real reason was.

Su Yang could guess from her expression and words. He looked straight into Tang Jings eyes and asked, Sister Tang, did someone find out about something?

Su Yangs words made Tang Jings body stiffen for a moment. After a while, as if all her energy had been sucked out, her body softened. She bit her lips and nodded silently.

She said softly, My stepmother found out about us. I dont know how she found out, but she definitely knows. Thats why she called me today and said that I was shameless for bringing my daughter to live with a boy who was ten years younger than me. She said that I was shameless for being able to eat, live and use whatever the boy has.

When she said that, her tears fell like raindrops and her fair face was filled with grievance. She said that even if Im shameless, I should still be aware of how it would influence you. Youre an outstanding bachelor, yet Im living with my family in your home. So, what kind of image would that bring to you in the eyes of other outsiders? What sort of criticisms would others have about you?

I did argue with her, saying that I was forced by her to stay at your place because I had no money. Then she asked me why I was still staying at your place even though Im rich now.

She retorted and said that I was just coming up with a bunch of excuses to shamelessly hope to be together with a young and capable man.

Su Yang was speechless.

Everything he had just heard made him completely speechless.

After a while, he asked, How did she know youre rich?

When Tang Jing was replying, she blushed and lowered her head until it was almost lying on top of her breasts. I I flaunted the money that I earned previously.

Su Yang was speechless.

Then, he patted Tang Jings head. I understand.

Su Yang truly understood. Tang Jing has been oppressed by her stepmother for so long and it was rare for her to be able to hold her head high against her stepmother. Hence, its only normal for her to want to brag in front of her stepmother to vent her frustration.

Especially since Ive been so busy recently and could not guide her into carrying out the next step of my plans. So, its only normal for her to want to show off.

However, Tang Jings stepmother isnt a nice person at all!

Previously, she mocked Tang Jing for being useless because she had no money.

Now, after shes earned some money, Tang Jings stepmother has investigated Tang Jings life and even said that shes trying to get together with a young and capable man like myself.

Her stepmother is just coming up with whatever kind of attack she can think of because shes out of ideas!

Ive got to help Tang Jing deal with her stepmother!

Where Tang Jing lives has nothing to do with her!

After all, shes not staying in her house! Nor is she spending her money!

So, its completely none of her business!

Shes just a mistress who poaches on others. She didnt even raise Tang Jing, nor does Tang Jing even acknowledge her! So what right does she have to interfere with Tang Jings private life?!

Su Yang gripped Tang Jings hand tightly and said, Dont worry! Leave this to me! Ill handle it!

Tang Jing lifted her head and looked at Su Yang with tears in her eyes. There was a dazed look on her face. Huh?

Combined with her eyes and soft lips, her innocent look made ones heart race.

Su Yangs heart skipped a beat. He quickly suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said, Just leave it to me!

Seeing that Su Yang was going to stand up for her, Tang Jing frowned in concern. Xiaoyang, dont get violent on her.

Su Yang was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Tang Jing to think that way, hence he said, Dont worry, I wont.

Tang Jing thought about it and said, Okay, dont go overboard too. Just Just p*ss her off.

Su Yang looked at Tang Jing. Shes always so gentle and kind.

However, this is her family matter after all. Since shes already made her decision, I should respect her wishes.

But Asking me to p*ss off a middle-aged woman?

How am I supposed to do that?

I have no experience on this

Im a good boy at home after all.

Should I Ask someone for help?

Should I ask Li Runze, the brainiac? No, based on his wooden looks, hes probably a good boy at home as well.

Young Master Ying? No, we arent that close.

Qu Xuan? Hmm, he does look like a bad boy. However, when I interacted with the siblings, I know that Qu Xuan puts on a disguise at home, completely fooling his parents by being on his best behaviour.

So then, who should I look for?

Su Yang was conflicted.

After pondering for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. Should I ask Fatty Lu for advice? From the first time I saw him acting like a good-for-nothing, he did not seem like an obedient child. Who knows, he might even be bickering with his parents everyday at home. He should have bothe the ideas and experience!
