Chapter 263: 263

"Don’t overthink it. You’re your mom’s last kin. If even you are weak, then your mom’s last support is gone. Mother and daughter united can cut through metal like a hot knife through butter."

"Get lost, if anyone’s cutting it’s going to be your tendons." Chen Xing gave him a glare but still took the tissue he handed over.

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning. It’s the rebooked flight from last time. Now, I suddenly don’t feel like leaving. I find it more comfortable staying here."

"Go on, take a look outside. Don’t worry about your mom. With or without you, she’s still that strong woman. Although you accidentally saw her vulnerable side, in reality, you’ll never be able to outmatch her. Go out, broaden your horizons, and let your mom see that her daughter is great too."

"What if I start to miss home?"

"What’s there to miss about home? It’s just a nest. Remember, the person who resides in your heart is your true home. When you were little, your parents were your home. Did you think the older you got the farther away you’d be from them? No. Didn’t you just say it? Your mom is like a child, so now that you’ve grown up, the rope between you and your mom is now led by you. As long as you always hold onto that rope, your home will always be in your hands."

Chen Xing coldly looked at him, wishing she could flip him over with a glare, "Easy for you to say, you’re not the one leaving!"

"It’s not a bad thing, getting out there and pushing yourself is always good. Everyone needs to learn how to live. I heard there’s a kitchen in the dorms over there; if you have free time, you can learn to cook, or get a part-time job, earning money isn’t important, what’s important is experiencing life. Over there in Huaxia, some are wealthy while some students rely on part-time jobs and scholarships, you should learn from them. No matter how stingy they are, it’s the environment that shaped them, don’t blame them, if you don’t understand the sacrifices made for a quality of life, you might as well experience it yourself. Also, even though foreign things might be nice, there’s no need to copy everything, pick and choose based on your interests, not just because someone says it’s good. Oh, and remember to call your mom regularly, a child’s journey is a mother’s worry. You’ve never really been the most comforting, don’t forget your mom when you’re there. If you find someone, better to find someone from the same background, I can’t stand seeing our beauties grubbed up by foreign boors. If you run out of money just speak up, I’m broke too."

"Nagging and fussing... you really have no shame, I don’t know how someone could fall for you."

Ye Tian scratched his head and took a sip of coffee.

Ugh! So bitter!

Pig Hu once predicted Ye Tian’s fortune and told him that if he didn’t control himself, he might become disastrously attractive, endangering his life. Ye Tian unceremoniously kicked him away, "Get lost, I haven’t even touched a finger of my future wife yet!" Then Pig Hu immediately switched faces and started strategizing for Ye Tian on how to secure his wife.

But today, it seemed like Pig Hu might have really hit the mark, wondering if he really was having a stroke of romantic luck.

In Starbucks, after droning on about his life philosophy, nearly emptying the well of his thoughts just to satisfy this ancestor, he allowed her to contentedly return to her hotel. Tomorrow, with Li Jing around, he wouldn’t bother, especially trying to involve himself less with Lin Jingran seemed wiser, Ye Tian figured, if he got himself entangled, the old lady at home would probably flay him alive.

As soon as he got into the car, Ye Tian saw a red Ferrari parked behind in the rear view mirror, a red not of the factory original but that of later paintwork, fiery like the blazing sun of July.

It was her.

The woman who once took him out of Huaizhou and then abandoned him. What now, checking if he was still alive?

Mo Yan stepped out of the Ferrari, dressed in a tight-fitting camouflaged leisure outfit, very pretty, though not as sexy as denim, but with a wild beauty that any man would find hard to resist. Ye Tian, a man himself, although he wanted to resist, guessed that this Miss Mo likely had better Taekwondo skills than Tang Su.

"Aren’t you going to invite me for a drink?" Mo Yan leaned on the car door, smiling at Ye Tian, the lazy autumn sun making her look very comfortable, her waterfall-like long hair draped over her shoulders, unexpectedly possessing a bit of classical charm. This was a stark contrast to the fiery sisters he had encountered on the highway that day.

Ye Tian dumbfoundedly stared, then responded, "I don’t have money."

Mo Yan was speechless.

Snack Street, a famous place, unlike Beiping’s Wangfujing, Xidan, or Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay, this street didn’t have such a resounding name, it was just called Snack Street.

Ye Tian held a skewer of lamb in one hand and a bottle of beer in the other, sitting opposite Mo Yan, the distinguished young lady dressed quite handsomely.

"I’m really broke, I didn’t plan to spend much outside today, so I only had a few fifty yuan in my pocket, but who knew the stuff in that cafe was so expensive, those fifty yuan hardly bought me two sips of coffee."

Thinking back to the astonished look of the waitress when he tried to pay with a fifty yuan note made Ye Tian feel embarrassed.

"You’re really in a tight spot," Mo Yan said, sipping her lamb soup spoon by spoon, very elegantly, but slightly awkward in the noisy Snack Street.

"It’s okay. Next time, I’ll definitely invite you to a proper meal," he said as though he had taken advantage of her in some big way.

Mo Yan looked up at him while still scooping soup into her mouth, "I’ll be waiting, having a meal with Ye Tian isn’t an easy feat after all."

"It’s because you don’t come to find me. If you come to me, I’ll definitely treat you well, I’d starve just to let you eat. I owe you for saving my life."

So that’s what it was about. A hint of disappointment flashed through Mo Yan’s heart, but it vanished in an instant. She smiled, "You really do remember kindness. You’ve given yourself to the Chen family for helping you once."

You could tell she was jokingly being sarcastic, Ye Tian didn’t take it to heart; he had heard far harsher words a million times over, let alone these.
