She Only Cares About Cultivation

Qi Yang turned around gracefully, slinging his backpack and walked to the door: "Waiter, swipe the card!"

Wen Qiang was too ashamed to speak, but Cao Ying was impressed by Qi Yang’s words and quickly reminded him.

"What are you dawdling for, hurry up and pay the bill, are you really expecting the mother and son to treat us? Where’s your face?"

Wen Qiang sat weakly on the chair, "She has money and is willing to treat. Did I force them? If she wants to treat, let her treat!"

"You, you’re such a loser!" Cao Ying was furious and looked at her in-laws who were still wailing, unable to suppress her annoyance.

"Crying, crying, what are you crying for? Are you mourning? It’s embarrassing! You haven’t said a word to them since you came in, and you wanted to grope the mother from beginning to end. The kid never gave you a chance to speak, so you’re crying here, what’s there to cry about? What the kid said was logical and clear, knowing exactly what he wants, and what he doesn’t, including the mother who handled everything properly, whether it’s manners or attitude, I find it very Zen. Today I realized I’ve been hating the wrong people for years. Are you hiding many things from me? Take this opportunity to explain, okay? Don’t worry, I am very calm, I won’t divorce you, after all, my son is still young, and I need a complete family, and you probably don’t want to get married a fourth time, right?"

...

Qi Yang paid the bill, the meal cost five thousand eight hundred yuan, he swiped the card there, and Qi Qi received a WeChat alert. She guessed this kid didn’t have lunch and went out, so she sent a call over: "Eat whatever you want, today you can swipe Mom’s card to your heart’s content!"

Qi Yang wasn’t feeling good either, everything was an act. Who doesn’t long for fatherly love? Who doesn’t hope for a three-generation family? Deep down he was envious of his classmates, but he constantly reminded himself that his mom was already working hard, he couldn’t make her suffer more. Yet her one sentence made his long-held emotions break down completely, his nose twitched, and he was choking with tears.

"Mom...," Qi Yang cried, and Qi Qi beside him was heartbroken: "Alright, alright, don’t cry, Mom knows you’re hurt, should you vent your hurt, take the card to the mall to shop, eat what you like, spend as much as you want, okay?"

"I don’t want it. It’s so hard for my mom to earn money, they just spend five thousand eight for one meal, giving nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine to their son, such good fortune, Mom you’re really kind. In the future, I must work hard to earn money and let Mom spend the money I make. We mother and son must be good, make them envy us!"

Qi Qi on the other end of the phone was moved to tears.

"Okay, okay, since you don’t want to eat outside, Mom will make your favorite braised prawns once we’re home, alright?"

"Mom, I’ll go buy the ingredients, you do your thing, I know how to make this dish, once you’re done, come back and taste what I’ve cooked myself."

...

The Wen Family gave up completely this time because Qi Yang’s words, although plain, struck a chord. The child knows everything, what reason do they have to stay and make fools of themselves? Besides, Qi Qi herself didn’t stop them from meeting, the child even gave Wen Qiang his number, is there anything they’re unsatisfied with?

In the end, even traveling around Beijing felt disheartened, and they drove back home, but Cao Ying still felt fondness for the unfamiliar Qi Qi.

Just because she gave the child a 9999 yuan red envelope, and what the child said to her was enough to disarm all defenses.

She quietly noted Qi Yang’s phone number and sent him a text message.

"Child, Auntie thanks you and your mother for forgiving, gratitude, wishing everything goes well and safe."

Qi Yang received the message and replied: "Auntie, also wishing you and my brother health and happiness forever!"

Qi Yang’s path to being an Olympic champion was extremely tough. Initially, with his flexibility, he was supposed to be selected as a diving athlete, but his freestyle and backstroke were very strong too. In a balanced decision, he chose to pursue being a swimming athlete like Sun Yang. Because our country’s athletes don’t hold advantages in such events; contrary, China’s dream team is always a mythical existence, having one more isn’t much, having one less isn’t significant either, so he chose the more challenging path of a swimming athlete.
