Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!

Chapter 21: Here comes the one who spends money

Others rejoice at the sight of the God of Wealth!

Yan Yueqing is different.

She’s happy when she sees someone spending money!

She had just been struggling with how exactly to buy shares?

Now, the person has come to her doorstep on their own initiative!

Tang Tang is her bound Cute Baby after all~~

Yan Yueqing smiled and spoke gently, "Director Tang, hello."

The other party seemed to have encountered something unpleasant, and with a hint of annoyance, said, "Do you have time tomorrow morning? Let’s meet."

"Ah?"

That’s so sudden! Yan Yueqing thought for a moment, "Is there something you need to discuss?"

"About Tang Tang, and those LV bags you sent, I think it’s necessary to have a word with you." Director Tang’s indifferent attitude was somewhat blunt, "I know you’ve returned to C City, not in T City. Tomorrow morning at ten o’clock, Wanfeng Department Store Building, fourth-floor café."

Director Tang is the type to cut through the mess quickly, so once he decided to lay his cards on the table with her, he specifically looked into her schedule and even set the meeting place in her city.

Such sincerity left the other party with no excuses to decline!

Yan Yueqing hadn’t anticipated that Director Tang would act so quickly. But it made sense, since she had given a gift worth two million. It was only natural for a parent to be concerned. It just so happened that she wanted to discuss investment matters with Director Tang, so she responded readily, "Okay, I have something I’d like to talk to you about as well. See you tomorrow morning!"

Upon hearing her response, Director Tang’s expression seemed to say "just as I thought", and with a short hum, he hung up the phone indifferently.

Aunt Liu, carrying coffee, stood at the door, hesitant to come forward.

When Director Tang looked up, sharp eyes visible beneath his glasses, he tried his best to soften his tone. "Is Tang Tang asleep?"

Aunt Liu nodded. "Yes, she’s asleep."

She walked over, placed the coffee on the table, and after hesitating for a moment, she still voiced her concern. "Sir, are you going to meet Miss Yan tomorrow?"

Director Tang picked up the cup and blew on it. "I’m not going alone, I plan to take Tang Tang with me."

"Taking Tang Tang along?" Aunt Liu pictured the scene in her mind. "Isn’t that a bit... cruel?"

The corners of Director Tang’s mouth curled into a cold smirk, "Aunt Liu, when I arranged the meeting with Yan Yueqing, do you know how she replied?"

"What was it?"

Director Tang’s gaze turned icy in an instant. "She said she also has something to discuss with me... Ha, what else could it be? She’s spent three million on Tang Tang and now wants to use that as leverage to gain some benefits. Tch, trying to get close to me by using Tang Tang, how despicable!

After what Qin Si did last time, to protect Tang Tang, we never told her the truth, only saying that Aunt Qin had gone abroad and would never return. But after one Qin Si left, along comes a Yan Yueqing... the more power I have in Zhongxing, the more people cling to me. She’s already five years old, it’s time she learned who is using her and who truly cares for her!"

Aunt Liu nodded in agreement, feeling sorry.

Ever since Madam Tang passed away, there have been too many people deliberately approaching Tang Tang!

Initially, Qin Si was so dedicated, capturing Tang Tang’s heart with her facade of tenderness. If she hadn’t been too greedy and rash, revealing her true nature, it’s possible the master might have even married her.

The ruthless and thunderous tactics of the adult world, Director Tang never showed the slightest bit in front of the child. Qin Si had brought misery upon herself, and though the incident caused quite a stir in the circles, everyone gave face to Director Tang and never mentioned it in front of Tang Tang.

Now, because of Yan Yueqing, the master is actually planning to take Tang Tang along to witness such a scene?

Aunt Liu felt a twinge of heartache for the child but couldn’t bring herself to say "no".

Director Tang made arrangements, "Tomorrow please take care, Aunt Liu, and sit with Tang Tang in the adjacent private room. I will draw out Yan Yueqing’s true motives and let her hear them clearly."

"Okay."

The next day.

A few people arrived for the appointment on time.

Tang Tang excitedly heard she was going to meet Yan Yueqing and was thrilled. She specially picked out the bud dress and bunny shoes she bought on her birthday, dressing up beautifully.

Aunt Liu saw Tang Tang’s exuberant expression and looked a bit saddened.

Yan Yueqing hadn’t slept all night, preparing for the stake in the company. She printed all the documents and, timing her arrival, stepped into the coffee shop.

The waitress gently greeted her and guided her to the private room.

Upon entering, Director Tang sat stern-faced on the soft chair.

Yan Yueqing set down her bag and greeted politely, "Hello, Director Tang."

Director Tang was quite young, in his early thirties. Beneath his black tousled hair, a pair of cold eyes were like hooks, and his tone of speech was commanding, "Sit."

He was always aloof and, considering Yan Yueqing was a subordinate, there was no need to feign courtesy.

"Miss Yan, I value time highly, so I’ll get straight to the point. What are your intentions behind giving Tang Tang all those things?"

Director Tang had arrived ten minutes early today to discreetly place a pinhole camera in the room, transmitting live feed to a tablet, making everything visible to Tang Tang in the next room.

At that moment, Aunt Liu held Tang Tang and watched the suddenly startled woman on the screen, her face clouded over.

Yan Yueqing knew Director Tang was a straightforward person.

But was this too direct?

She had prepared a whole bunch of opening remarks, which now seemed totally unnecessary!

Director Tang, seeing her speechless, scoffed and spoke, "You’ve been with the company for several years, and your performance has always been poor. Apart from the variety shows that need extras, you barely get any other bookings or contracts. Three hundred thousand is not easy to save, and you’re spending it all on Tang Tang, using her as a stepping stone—aren’t you afraid it’ll all be in vain?"

"Stepping stone?" Watching the scene on the screen, Tang Tang finally understood why her dad insisted on going to the next room.

She looked up and quickly waved her hand to explain to Aunt Liu, "Aunt, my dad misunderstood! Sister Yueqing is not like that at all!"

Aunt Liu smoothed out the frills on Tang Tang’s dress and sighed, "Tang Tang, it’s hard to know someone’s true intentions just by their appearance. Yan Yueqing is neither kin nor kith to you, yet she suddenly spends so much money on you—anyone would be wary! Your dad is also worried about you being deceived, which is why he specifically asked to talk to her."

"That’s not it... You all think that she approached me because of my dad... Aunt, I know I’m young and what I say has no proof... At first, I indeed found Sister Yueqing a bit annoying, but later she was truly kind to me..." Tang Tang bit her lip, emphasizing further, "Not in a flattering way! I can tell."

"Tang Tang—"

"She is different from everyone else! Even Aunt Qin Si... she’s not like Sister Yueqing!" Tang Tang’s lips pouted with grievance, "You all didn’t tell me, but I know, Aunt Qin Si and those people are the same, only she’s smarter, she fooled me... You all said she went abroad later, but I knew she hadn’t... It was my dad who sent her away!"

"Tang Tang!" Aunt Liu was shocked, "Who told you that?"

"No one told me, but I just know! Aunt, Sister Yueqing she—"

Before Tang Tang could finish her words, Yan Yueqing’s voice came through from the tablet.

"Director Tang, you might have misunderstood, my kindness to Tang Tang doesn’t have the implications you’re imagining."

Her voice was clear and resounding.

Director Tang glanced at her obliquely, "Really? Miss Yan must have heard the saying, ’Unsolicited favors equal deceit or theft.’

Yan Yueqing admitted decisively, "Yes, Director Tang is right, my kindness to Tang Tang indeed has another purpose."
