Sweet Heart in Honeyed Desire - C46
When Tang Mi called out to her mother, the three people around were stunned.
Since Tang Mi's parents divorced, it was very difficult to see them again. She didn't expect that she would come to such a high-end party today and coincidentally meet her mother.
She looked at Lan Qianqing, who was wearing a black evening dress, and asked in a daze, "Mom, are you here to join this party as well?"
Lan Qianqing's gaze sized up Tang Mi, then looked at the Bai siblings and Yu Yi. She walked forward and asked, " Tang Tang, who did you come with?"
"Ugh …"
Tang Mi stealthily glanced at Yu Yi. She was a little dispirited and thought, unexpectedly, she didn't have the slightest bit of mental preparation before exposing Yu Yi to her mother. "I came with Yu Yi."
Lan Qianqing tilted her head to look at Yu Yi, her eyebrows knitted together. "What's your relationship with him?"
Her question was so direct that Tang Mi was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. "He's my boyfriend …"
It was the same feeling she'd had every time she'd failed a test and given her the paper with the red cross to let her sign.
Tang Mi was like a child who had done something wrong, though Yu Yi was much better than a test paper full of red crosses.
After hearing what she said, Lan Qianqing's frown deepened. She looked at Tang Mi, and there was a trace of anger in her eyes, " Tang Tang, even though I divorced with your father, I'm still your mother. You're not going to tell me about this matter of you having a boyfriend?"
Furthermore, he was a boyfriend with such a powerful background.
Tang Mi bit her lips and said in a small voice, "I didn't tell Daddy either …"
Lan Qianqing: "…"
So she won, right?
At this moment, Yu Yi recognized the woman in front of him. She was Lan Qianqing, the person in charge of Qianqing's studio, a well-known jewellery designer, and the second wife of Xie Xiujie.
He suddenly remembered that Tang Mi once told Yu Xin that her parents divorced and her mother remarried. So her mother actually married Xie Xiujie?
"Qian Qing, who did you see? Why are you walking so fast?"
A man wearing a suit and a suit came over. Although he was middle-aged, his body didn't show the slightest sign of becoming fat. His hair that was combed backwards didn't change his hairline, and he even exposed a widow's peak.
"Uncle Xie."
Bai Ce and Bai Xiao took the initiative to ask questions, and Yu Yi nodded in acknowledgment.
Xie Xiujie smiled at them. When he saw Tang Mi, he also revealed a trace of surprise. " Tang Tang, why are you here?"
Lan Qianqing said somewhat angrily, "She said that Yu Yi is her boyfriend."
Tang Mi: "…"
Xie Xiujie's eyes lit up with interest when he heard this, and he looked towards Yu Yi.
He pursed his lips and said to Lan Qianqing, "Tang Tang is no longer a child. It's normal for her to have a boyfriend. Could it be that you still hope that she won't be able to get married for the rest of her life?"
Lan Qianqing was looking at him, and didn't say anything. Xie Xiujie was instantly terrified by her stare, "Hehe, since Yu Yi is Tang Tang's boyfriend and the Yu Family is over there, we should go over and greet him."
Lan Qianqing looked to his right and snorted, "Of course I have to say hello."
Xie Xiujie patted Tang Mi's shoulder in a soothing manner. "Don't worry, Uncle Xie will support you. Rong Rong is here today as well. She's eating over there with the young master of the Fang family. You can go and play with her."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yu Yi without leaving a trace before following Lan Qianqing.
Yu Yi looked at Tang Mi and said softly, "I'll go take a look. You and you follow Bai Xiao to have something to eat."
Bai Xiao was named. She blinked rapidly. "Don't worry. I'll protect her."
"Thank you."
This time, this "thank you" came from the bottom of Yu Yi's heart.
Tang Mi saw they were leaving, and wanted to follow them, but was stopped by Bai Xiao. "You and I can eat here. Let them deal with those bad things. Your mother and Yu Yi won't sell you out."
"All right."
Tang Mi picked up a small cake in front of her and started chatting with Bai Xiao.
"But I didn't expect your mother to be Lan Qianqing. The things she designed are very popular in the circle of rich wives."
Tang Mi smiled at her but didn't say anything. Bai Xiao thought for a moment and said, "From Uncle Xie's tone just now, it seems that you know Xie Bong?"
Tang Mi said, "I've met her a few times before, so I'm not very familiar with her."
Bai Xiao nodded, then leaned close to her and said, "I heard that Xie Bong and Fang Chengran have been very close recently. Ah, speaking of Fang Chengran, he had just returned from overseas a while ago and was originally chasing after a primary school teacher. I don't know how he managed to hook up with Xie Bong."
Tang Mi looked at her in surprise. Bai Xiao raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just didn't expect you to be so gossipy."
Bai Xiao burst out in laughter. "There's a lot of gossip in this circle. If you're interested, I can tell you about it for three days and three nights."
As Tang Mi and Bai Xiao were chatting, a girl in a light pink dress walked towards them. She sized up Tang Mi with disdain. "You're Brother Yu Yi's girlfriend?"
"Isn't his eyesight too bad?"
Tang Mi didn't say anything. Bai Xiao whispered into her ear, "This is Yu Yi's younger cousin, Yu Feifei. She is very fond of her 'brother Yu Yi'. She is full of hostility towards all the women who come into contact with her brother Yu Yi."
"I always thought she was very sick. "
Tang Mi pursed her lips. Yu Feifei frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"What are you two sneaking about? "
Bai Xiao shrugged and ignored her. Tang Mi did the same, but Yu Feifei was fine enough to enjoy herself.
She looked at Tang Mi a few times before snorting, "You must have just bought the clothes you're wearing, right?"
"It must have been Yu Yi who paid for it.
"Hmph, I've seen many women like you. Don't think that you can transform into a phoenix just by wearing a dress. Even Bai Xiao is better than you."
After she said this, Tang Mi's and Bai Xiao's complexion changed. Tang Mi was just about to roll up her sleeves and start the fight, when Lan Qianqing walked over to her, "My daughter is so unpresentable in Miss Yu's eyes. As to the person who gave birth to her, I'm sure she is also unpresentable. In this case, Miss Yu let others to design your earrings for your birthday on next month."
"I'll have the Treasury department pay the advance and the liquidated damages to you tomorrow. "
Before Yu Feifei could recover from Tang Mi's rapid change in status, Lan Qianqing had already taken a step forward and pulled Tang Mi out of the room.
Yu Yi and Xie Xiujie came with her. When Lan Qianqing passed by Yu Yi, she stopped and smiled at him, " Chief Yu, how much are these clothes? Send the bill to my studio and I'll pay you tomorrow."
"Another thing, your Yu Family doesn't like Tang Tang, and I'm not willing to marry my daughter into your Yu Family!"
After saying that, she exerted her strength and dragged Tang Mi out.
Tang Mi's wrist turned red from her tugging, but was unable to break free. She could only turn her head and gave Yu Yi a look.
Seeing that she was about to pull Tang Mi into the car, Yu Yi quickly walked over and took Tang Mi's other hand. He looked at Lan Qianqing and said, "Aunt Lan, I apologize for Yu Feifei's words just now. Can we find a place to sit and talk?"
"I think you misunderstood me. "
"There's no misunderstanding. Let go of my daughter."
Yu Yi didn't let go of Tang Mi. Lan Qianqing didn't let go either. Tang Mi was in so much pain that she was about to burst into tears. She could only look at Yu Yi and say, "How about I chat with Mom first? I'll call you later."
Yu Yi raised his eyes to look at her. The strength in her hands had not lessened in the slightest. It wasn't until Tang Mi had really squeezed out a few tears that he finally loosened his grip.
Tang Mi knew her mother, and she definitely wouldn't give in from what she had decided to do. That was why she always quarrelled with her father. At this moment, she could only make Yu Yi give in.
Taking advantage of that Yu Yi loosened his grip on his wrist, Tang Mi took her hand back, and said, "Don't worry, Mom is just angry for now. I will convince her."
While Yu Yi was still thinking, Lan Qianqing stuffed Tang Mi into the car. She also quickly followed her and sat in the car.
The car whizzed out.
Gazing the car for a while, Yu Yi turned his head to look at Xie Xiujie.
Xie Xiujie smiled and said, "Our family has always been determined by Qian Qing. I have no say in this matter."
Yu Yi's Bentley drove over. He said goodbye to Xie Xiujie and got into the car.
Xie Xiujie stopped the car door that was about to close. He stared straight at Yu Yi and said, "Although Tang Mi is not my daughter, she is Qianqing's daughter. I won't ignore her. If you're not serious with her, you'd better let her go right now."
Yu Yi pried his hand away and got into the car. "I'm more serious about Tang Mi than you were when you married Aunt Lan."
As the door closed, Bentley was leaving.
Xie Xiujie, who was left behind, stood on the spot and laughed. Then, he remembered that he and Qian Qing had come in the same car. Now that she had sat in the car and left, he could only …
He could only take a taxi back.
Lan Qianqing brought Tang Mi back to her workshop. She poured two cups of coffee and then walked to the table. "When did you and Yu Yi start?"
"Uh, from last month."
"Did he confess to you?"
"Yes."
Lan Qianqing was silent for a moment, before sitting opposite Tang Mi. "Tang Tang, it's not that mom wants to oppose your relationship with him, it's just that these entrepreneurs are unreliable. Mom doesn't want you to experience a failed marriage like me."
Although her father was judged to be a "failed marriage", Tang Mi thought he is not unworthy, only felt wronged about Yu Yi: "Uncle Xie is not an entrepreneur?"
"Didn't you choose him?"
"Xiu Jie is different. He has his own company and doesn't need to be bound by his family. Moreover, his personality isn't as strong as mine. He has always been the one that accepts me."
Tang Mi said, "Yu Yi also has his own company, and he doesn't want to become stronger either!"
Lan Qianqing looked at her as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, "Yu Yi doesn't want to become stronger?"
"Not to mention his business skills, just his iceberg face alone can scare a lot of people off? "
Tang Mi felt that it made sense, but she still had to argue for Yu Yi. "He can already laugh, and he's only strong at business. He obeys my orders!"
Lan Qianqing sneered, "Say it again, and say how he obeys your orders?"
Tang Mi: "…"
Well, she couldn't say it.
Lan Qianqing said, "I had a chat with his parents just now. His father clearly doesn't like you, and you won't have a good life when you get married into Yu family."
Tang Mi pursed her lips and said, "But Yu Yi has a house outside, and we don't want to live with his father."
"So you're determined to be with him, aren't you?"
Lan Qianqing was getting even more angry, "Fine, you can call your father and see if he will agree to have you and Yu-Yi together!"
Tang Mi said, "Father will definitely agree. Yu Yi has donated money to the Rainbow Welfare Institute!"
Lan Qianqing: "…"
This kid was quite scheming, wasn't he?
When Tang Mi and her mother's talk was over, there was no consensus, so she had to fight again next time.
When she came out of the studio, she found Yu Yi's car parked outside.
Yu Yi wore a black suit and leaned against the door, waiting for her.
