LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 206 Backing
After getting off work, he met his mother in the company lobby. After a while of greetings, Xia Haoyang suggested going to a nearby coffee shop, but his mother objected. Hearing that their rental house was nearby, she suggested going to their residence. Xia Haoyang didn't care, so they walked to the rental house together. On the way home, her mother Xie Xinyi took Tang Wanqi's place and held Xia Haoyang's arm, while Tang Wanqi followed shyly behind the two of them. Xia Haoyang could only turn around frequently to say She expressed regret, but Tang Wanqi didn't mind.
When they arrived at Xia Haoyang's residence, her mother looked around every room with great interest and complained that she was hungry. Tang Wanqi took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cook, while Xia Haoyang chatted with her mother.
"Yangyang, are you planning not to go back to celebrate the New Year this year? It's been three years since you went home." Her mother said with some resentment.
"Busy, Mom, as you have seen, I am still working overtime in the company today. Now everyone else in the company is rushing to work in other places. Sometimes I will receive other notifications at short notice. I need someone to schedule and arrange in the company, and complete contract documents and so on. Yes, there is no one in the company during the Chinese New Year. Last year it was just me and Wan Qi, so we were very busy." Xia Haoyang found an excuse to evade.
"Wanqi? The name is very nice." Mom said with a smile.
"and then?"
"Then what?" Mom said with a wink and a smile.
"Don't you have anything else to say about Wanqi?"
"What should I say?" Mom continued to smile.
Xia Haoyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly: "Okay, if not, there won't be."
Tang Wanqi prepared four dishes in a short period of time, two meat and two vegetarian dishes. They were all home-cooked dishes. However, because Wanqi was born in a province in the south that eats spicy food, all four dishes had traces of chili peppers, and they were usually Xia Haoyang also likes spicy food, so Wanqi thought that the Xia family also liked spicy food. Xia's mother blinked when she saw the four dishes placed on the coffee table and said nothing. Xia Haoyang took the initiative and said, "I'll go stir-fry some more. Wanqi, please take a rest."
Tang Wanqi, who didn't know why, subconsciously replied: "Oh."
"Tang Wanqi, right? You usually cook at home?" Xia's mother still had a smile and a kind attitude.
Wanqi blushed and nodded. She thought it was Xia's mother who disliked her cooking and felt very frustrated.
"Is it usually this spicy?" Xia's mother said softly.
Suddenly realizing something, Tang Wanqi blushed even more, "Auntie, you don't like spicy food? I'm sorry, I forgot to ask before cooking, because Haoyang usually eats spicy food, and I thought you were all addicted to spicy food."
"It seems that eating habits have changed in Yancheng in the past few years. Yangyang didn't eat any chili peppers when he was a child." Xia's mother said thoughtfully.
Tang Wanqi didn't speak. She was always upset in her heart about why she didn't ask if she wanted to eat spicy food before cooking. She was worried that she would leave a bad impression on Xia's mother.
"Wanqi, Wanqi."
"Ah, what's the matter?" Tang Wanqi was a little lost and didn't hear Xia's mother calling her.
"I said I've watched "So Beautiful" starring you and it was a good performance. And can you get me a glass of water?" Xia's mother smiled from beginning to end.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to make tea." Tang Wanqi stood up and went to pour the tea in a panic.
Xia Haoyang cooked two dishes and came out, one was scrambled eggs with tomatoes and the other was shredded potatoes with vinegar. Adding the four dishes prepared by Tang Wanqi, six dishes for three people were considered rich.
"It's delicious. It's the first time in my life to eat food cooked by my son. My mother is so happy."
"If you like it, you can stay for a few more days. I'll cook it for you every day."
"I also want to stay a few more days, but unfortunately there are many things at home, so I have to go back today." Xia's mother said with regret.
"We have to go back today, are there any flights?" Tang Wanqi, who had been absent-minded, heard what Xia's mother said and immediately looked at her phone to check the flight schedule.
"Wanqi is very cute." Xia's mother touched Tang Wanqi's head.
"Wanqi, there's no need to check the flight schedule. My mother should have come to Yancheng on a private plane."
"Private jet." Tang Wanqi repeated softly, and then silently put away her phone.
"Mom, why did you come to Yancheng? You didn't come to see me deliberately."
"Mom really came to see you on purpose. How are you touched?"
"Moved." Xia Haoyang said obviously perfunctorily.
"Your girl group and Yangyang himself have been scolded a lot recently, right, Wanqi." Xia Haoyang went to the kitchen to serve rice, and Xia's mother asked gently.
Tang Wanqi glanced at the kitchen and said softly: "Yes, and the Tara girl group's chance to participate in the Spring Festival Gala was lost. The third rehearsal two days ago failed, and the show was canceled."
Xia's mother frowned: "Does Yangyang really hope that your girl group will participate in the Spring Festival Gala?"
Tang Wanqi nodded: "Everyone hopes so much, but it's a pity that due to the public opinion, Tara was also booed when she participated in the Xinan TV Spring Festival Gala yesterday. It's been very difficult recently anyway."
Before Xia's mother said anything, Xia Haoyang came back with the meal and heard Wanqi's words. "It's okay. I can't go to the Spring Festival Gala this year, so I'll try again next year. It's actually not as bad as Wan Qi said."
"My Yangyang family is the best, so what are your plans for this year?" Xia's mother asked about this year's arrangements without mentioning the previous things.
"This year, I have a movie script on hand that will be completed soon. I will make this movie this year. If the environment is better, I will make an album for Tara. I don't have any other specific ideas. These two things will be completed this year. , and then let’s see if we can send Tara to next year’s CCTV Spring Festival Gala.”
"Okay, Yangyang, my mother still said the same thing. If you think you can solve it, then go ahead and try it boldly. If you think the problem can't be solved by yourself, don't forget that you still have family. Your parents will always be your backing." Although my mother spoke softly, she was extremely firm and her eyes were shining.
Xia Haoyang's heart was also touched, and he felt numb all over his body. He took a deep breath and looked at his mother, "Thank you, Mom, I know. Now I am more confident to face the next challenge."
The meal lasted for more than an hour, and then Xia's mother left. Tang Wanqi breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly began to feel sorry for herself: "Oh no, I definitely didn't leave a good impression on your mother today. The food I cooked was not to your liking, and then... I forgot to pour the tea, and I just said I would get some fruit to eat, but I also forgot, what happened to me today, everything is a mess."
Xia Haoyang walked over and hugged Tang Wanqi in his arms, "Okay, it's not that bad, and my mother is not someone who cares about such things. Don't think about the past."
"Haoyang, I envy you so much. You have a good mother, unlike me."
