Chapter 2374: Chapter 178: Not Wanting Her to Live in Constant Fear
Gu Zhitong was amused by Tang Jinchen’s last remark.
“Who wants you to support me, I can support myself.”
“Then, you support me, and I’ll support you.”
Tang Jinchen’s voice came through with hearty laughter.
At this point, Gu Zhitong heard someone calling her and said nonchalantly, “If you’re busy, go ahead.”
“I’m home, Tongtong. I’ll hang up now, I’ll call you again tomorrow.”
Although Tang Jinchen said he would hang up, he still waited for Gu Zhitong to end the call.
Looking at the call duration on the screen, a pleased smile curved his lips.
As he walked through the front door, he asked the servant if his mother had gone to bed.
The servant replied that she was still waiting for him.
Tang Jinchen strode into the living room with his long legs.
The living room TV was playing a variety show, but Feng Wanfeng, sitting on the sofa, wasn’t watching TV. She was focused on knitting a scarf.
“Mom.”
Tang Jinchen, full of energy, walked up to the sofa and sat down beside Feng Wanfeng, his large hand pinching the corner of the scarf she had knitted, “Is this for Dad again?”
“Do you see your mom as a stepmother?”
Feng Wanfeng feigned annoyance.
Though in her fifties, she maintained herself well, still charming and not showing her age.
Tang Jinchen asked in surprise, “Is this for me?”
“If you don’t like it, have the girl you fancy knit one for you. The one I made is for your dad to use.”
As she spoke, Feng Wanfeng pulled the part he was holding away.
Tang Jinchen laughed heartily, “Mom, I know. You were making it for Dad originally, I just happened to see it, and now you feel guilty. There’s no need for that. I’m young and healthy, let Dad have the scarf.”
Feng Wanfeng glared at him again.
Tang Jinchen didn’t mind, and laughed, “Mom, I have something to discuss with you.”
“What’s the matter?”
Feng Wanfeng put the half-finished scarf aside on the sofa.
She turned slightly to look at Tang Jinchen.
There was a smile on his face, but she felt the matter he wanted to discuss wasn’t trivial.
Feng Wanfeng understood her son well. Due to some incidents in his childhood, he was somewhat timid and his personality was affected by his environment.
Later, by staying at Tang Yang’s side, he was tempered in the army, regaining his true nature day by day.
For usual small matters, Tang Yang would let him decide by himself without consulting them.
Tonight, however, he specifically called her, asking her to wait for him to return.
Tang Jinchen felt his mother’s scrutiny and unconsciously restrained his smile, “Mom, I want to visit G City.”
“G City?”
Feng Wanfeng looked surprised.
“Yes.”
“Does your dad know about this?”
“I’m telling you first. Tomorrow, I’ll go to talk to Dad about it.”
Although Tang Jinchen and Tang Yang weren’t biological father and son, their relationship was very strong.
Feng Wanfeng smiled, “I don’t object. Do you want to go to G City because of the girl you like?”
“Yes, Mom, I don’t want her to be anxious all the time in the future.”
Tang Jinchen was very candid.
Feng Wanfeng smiled with gratification, “You’ve considered so much. When are you bringing her home for me to meet? So far, I only know you have someone you like, but I don’t know what kind of girl she is.”
Speaking of the girl he liked, a gentle expression appeared between Tang Jinchen’s handsome brows, his eyes warmed.
“Mom, do you remember Tongtong?”
“Tongtong? Gu Zhitong?” Feng Wanfeng nodded, “Of course, I remember. She was an adorable girl when she was little. Is she the one you like?”
“Yes.”
Tang Jinchen nodded.
The first time he met Gu Zhitong, she said that in the future, if she had kids, she’d look for him.
She even joked that if he underwent gender reassignment surgery, he could give birth.
Feng Wanfeng seemed to recall that but then thought of An Lin. If it weren’t for An Lin, Jinchen wouldn’t have had the chance to meet Gu Zhitong, and she herself might not have ended up with Tang Yang.
Thinking of An Lin, a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.
“Mom, are you missing Aunt again?”
“Yes, if your aunt were still…”
Tang Jinchen felt a bit sad but softly said, “Mom, don’t be sad. It won’t be long now before my aunt’s revenge is avenged.”
Feng Wanfeng asked a few more questions about whether the Shi Family was really responsible for An Lin’s murder.
Finally, she asked, “Does Tongtong accept you? I heard from your aunt before that neither Gu Kai nor Luo Haofeng, Mo Xiuchen, or Wen Jin wanted their daughters to marry far away.”
That was many years ago.
When An Lin discussed it, she said Luo Haofeng even tricked his daughter Bai Qingling into leaving hand or footprints, promising not to marry far away!
Tang Jinchen’s eyelids lowered slightly, a smile curled on his lips as he said, “Mom, it depends on the person. If Tongtong’s parents don’t agree for her to marry in the Imperial City, I’ll just become a live-in son-in-law. Anyway, you have Dad, that’s all you need. No matter where I am, it’ll be the same. You don’t have to be reluctant to let go of me.”
“Who’s reluctant to let you go? You’re in the Imperial City and rarely get home a few times a year. If you could be happy as a live-in son-in-law, both your dad and I wouldn’t object.”
Initially, when Feng Wanfeng heard her son had someone he liked, she felt some concern.
But now, knowing he liked Gu Zhitong, a girl from the Gu family.
She felt completely at ease.
——
G City.
Gu Zhitong, influenced by Tang Jinchen’s words about coming to G City, was lost in thought for a moment.
She went to the hospital room again, and when she returned, it was almost midnight.
Remembering Momo, she decided to send a message.
Momo had already fallen asleep, lulled to sleep by Ye Zhan’s ‘torment.’
That night, Momo woke up twice and didn’t sleep well.
The next day, she was lethargic all day long.
On Saturday morning at the breakfast table, she heard her father Mo Xiuchen say that Mo Xin had submitted resumes to many companies under Haochen’s subsidiary.
Recalling how she had approached the TV station to find herself, Momo couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, will you hire her?”
“If she passes the interviews, we’ll hire her.”
Mo Xiuchen pondered a bit before replying.
If Mo Xin truly wanted to stay, then let her stay.
Otherwise, she would go around sullying the Mo family’s name.
“Ranran, what do you think?”
Mo Xiuchen gently sought Wen Ran’s opinion.
“Whatever you decide is fine.”
Wen Ran never opposed Mo Xiuchen’s decisions. He had his reasons for letting Mo Xin stay.
Last night, Mo Xiuchen had a phone conversation with her brother Wen Jin in the study. Wen Ran happened to overhear a sentence.
He said, “Ah Jin, Mo Xin sought Zhang Minghui, who advised her to submit resumes to every branch of Haochen’s subsidiary. I plan to let her stay.”
Perhaps Wen Jin asked him where he planned to place Mo Xin.
Mo Xiuchen replied, “If she stays, it’ll be somewhere we can keep a close eye on.”
