Chapter 115 - Things Are Serious (1/2)
“What?”
By this point, Wu Tong was even more confused than before.
She had heard of Liang Qing’s personality had been unconventional out of all the other Chinese painting masters, but after getting along for the last two days, she felt like Liang Qing had actually been straight forward, which garnered Wu Tong’s admiration and respect from the bottom of her heart. She didn’t expect Liang Qing to say such ridiculous words.
Liang Qing did not feel any abruptness in the situation. In the last two days, Liang Qing was really appreciative of Wu Tong and liked her, hence why she abandoned Meng Fan. She appreciated Wu Tong’s professional knowledge and her professional ability that separated personal matters from the customer and enjoyed Wu Tong’s temperament as it suited her own character.
She reached out and sat with Wu Tong on the sofa and smiled. The corners of her mouth and eyes were crinkled into a smile, her whole body radiating friendliness and kindness. Lightly, she spoke to Wu Tong. “From the first time I saw you, I thought that we were fated to meet. In the last two days interacting with you, I’ve been very happy. I really feel like there’s spiritually a mother-in-law relationship between us. I like you from the bottom of my heart, and I hope we can get along like mother and daughter. I want you to be my goddaughter, are you willing?”
Wu Tong finally understood where this “call me mom” came from. She remained sunk in thought for a moment, then responded, “You’ve always been my idol, so I feel very lucky to be able to be your assistant and get to know you these last two days. Your recognition of me is an even bigger honor…”
Liang Qing interrupted Wu Tong’s thoughts. “I don’t want your honor, because I don’t need a fan and an admirer. I want a daughter, one that will be considerate and love me like a little coat, so I just want to know if you are willing to or not, from the bottom of the heart. Don’t be reluctant.”
Wu Tong’s mouth slowly formed into a smile, tears glimmering in her eyes as she nodded.
“Silly child, don’t cry!”
Seeing Wu Tong’s tears, Liang Qing also began to cry. She reached out and wiped the corners of Wu Tong’s eyes.
Both were very strong-willed people, but they became emotional easily towards heartfelt moments.
“But.” Wu Tong flapped her hands in front of her eyes. “I have to tell my parents first. And, I can’t accept these things, really. It’s too expensive.”
“Of course, I will respect your parents’ opinions.” Liang Qing smiled. “As for the latter, I shall dismiss it! If a little girl like you can buy me such an expensive gift, I have to reciprocate with something! Besides, you said you can earn money, but how much do you make in a month? Three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand? Even if you made more than that, that scarf was still a big expense for you.”
She pointed at the bags and clothes and shoes that had just been pushed over. “These items I’ve picked for you aren’t a big expense to me. To be honest, what you gifted me is much more valuable. You’re way more generous than me!”
“But…”
“Okay okay okay, I’ll back off a bit. Purses, outfits, shoes, you pick two, and then two accessories! If you still refuse, I’ll get angry!”
Seeing Wu Tong’s defeated nod, Liang Qing was blooming with joy. After Wu Tong selected two items, Liang Qing unreasonably picked a few other individual items that she felt was appropriate and paid for the order. They shopped around for a while before Liang Qing remembered Meng Fan. It was by then she realized that she had taken things a bit too far!
Her own son liked Wu Tong, very much at that, and now Wu Tong was half a step away from becoming her own goddaughter!
Previously she had joked she’d bring Meng Fan a wife home, but now, she’s bringing him a godsister!
If Meng Fan found out the girl he liked had become his godsister, hell would break loose!
At this thought, Liang Qing was ecstatic.
Just thinking about it was exhilarating!

“I’m so happy today, something that surprised me happened. I’ll tell you about it once it’s confirmed.”
