Chapter 500: Chapter 501: Familiar
Tang Jingming raised his phone high, facing his own face, and said, "Obviously not, I’m out with Brother Shi and Ye Zi."
"What Ye Zi, Ye Tiao?"
"Yes."
"And Ye Tiao, she’s as old as your sister, you should call her Sister Ye!" Miss Zhao looked stern and disapprovingly corrected him.
Tang Jingming stalled, humming, "No way, what kind of sister is she, childish to the extreme!"
The childish-to-the-extreme Ye Tiao looked up and glared at him.
Tang Jingming glared back, but his heart felt unsteady.
He didn’t want to call her sister!
What kind of sister takes advantage of him while drunk and does as she pleases?
What’s worse, she completely forgot everything the next day and denied it all?
Tang Jingming grew angrier the more he thought about it.
Miss Zhao knew her son well, seeing that small expression on Tang Jingming’s face, she let out an "Oh," "Were you bullied? Poor little thing, where are you now?"
"I’m in Imperial City," Tang Jingming found a spot to sit down and started catching up with his mom.
The way Tang Jingming got along with his mother was more like friends.
As soon as Tang Jingming sat down, he began telling his mom about the things he played with over the past few days, what was fun, what wasn’t fun, what was delicious, and what was not so good.
Miss Zhao always listened with a smile, occasionally chiming in with a few words.
Shi Lingyan sat next to Shi Mei, listening to their conversation, and also chimed in from time to time.
The seller couldn’t help but take another two glances at Shi Lingyan, and suddenly, he realized, "Is that Mr. Shi?"
Shi Lingyan didn’t show much reaction and continued talking to Shi Mei.
The seller grew more excited, "It seems it really is Mr. Shi, my goodness, to actually meet him in person here!"
Shi Lingyan returned the glance, and the seller got even more enthusiastic, voluntarily reducing their expenses and also had someone come to help with whatever renovations they needed.
Tang Jingming was talking to Miss Zhao when the Miss Zhao on the other end of the screen heard the commotion and got curious.
Tang Jingming turned the camera towards Shi Lingyan.
Miss Zhao recognized Shi Lingyan and felt nostalgic, saying, "It’s been so long since I last saw him."
"Right, so you should hurry back to the country and then take us out to have fun."
"Go," Miss Zhao lay on the beach chair, "I don’t want to, he won’t go out with me, eh, but that girl is so pretty, who is that, she seems quite young."
"Oh, that, that’s Shi Mei, the girl who saved Brother Shi, she later married him but now they’ve divorced." Tang Jingming stated the facts but inadvertently turned his head and received Shi Lingyan’s glare, quickly correcting himself, "But now they have rekindled their old flame haha..."
Shi Mei smiled.
Ye Tiao also whistled, "Really keen on survival, huh!"
Tang Jingming shrank his neck, while Miss Zhao laughed heartily, and after laughing couldn’t help but feel sentimental, saying, "It’s been over three years, it’s good that he is able to let go, but that girl really is pretty."
Tang Jingming said, "Let me introduce you to her," already walking over, "Shi Mei, my mom!"
Shi Mei naturally knew, looked up and saw that Miss Zhao seemed to be doing well over the past few years, looking fit with a beautiful face, appearing to be a woman in her thirties.
She smiled and said, "Hello, I’m Shi Mei."
"Hi Shi Mei," Miss Zhao greeted her warmly, suddenly feeling she looked familiar, but for the moment, couldn’t recall where she had seen her before.
