Chapter 130 - The Manga Artist and His Assistant (1/2)
Ding ding ding.
“Hey, Wu Tong.”
The phone line was quick to go through. She gave Meng Fan a look, meeting his gaze. “I told Meng Fan about my trip to Hong Kong. He told me you’re his mother. Is this true?”
“Yes.”
“So you’re saying you knew Meng Fan likes me?”
“I did. His sister told me. So I knew you were going to Hong Kong, so I poached you from Hu to be my assistant to see what kind of girl are you.”
“And asking me to be your goddaughter?”
“That has nothing to do with Fan. After interacting with you for a few days, I liked you from the bottom of my heart and wanted us to have a mother-daughter relationship, so I asked you to be my goddaughter. At the time, I didn’t even think of Fan’s existence.”
Meng Fan could hear everything Liang Qing was saying over the phone. When he got to that part, the sweat on his sweat began to seep out. Thinking back, the few days Liang Qing had been in Hong Kong just happened to be when he was wearing the presence masking hat and touring Xizi lake.
If at that point in time, he just happened to have his hat on, then… did that count as masochism?
“Then?” Wu Tong asked.
“Then I thought about it. You’re too good, and I have no faith in my son. I wanted to use him for you to call me mom, but that seemed impossible, so I had to fight for you myself. If you become my daughter-in-law or not, that’s up to Fan. But I earned this goddaughter. You don’t want to break our relationship because you found out I’m Fan’s mom right?”
“No, I just wanted to confirm who I was to you.”
“Silly child, do you have no faith in me or no faith in yourself?” Realizing that Wu Tong no longer spoke with formalities, Liang Qing smiled. “Anything else?”
“I’m okay for now godmother. I’ll hang up now. When you come back, let me know; my parents want to invite you to dinner.”
“Alright, great!”
Wu Tong hung up the phone and turned to Meng Fan. “All settled.”
“What?”
Meng Fan had heard their entire conversation. Once again, he felt like this entire situation had nothing to do with him.
“No no no.” Meng Fan shook his head hard. “What do you mean it’s solved? How is it resolved? Your method of dealing with it was just to confirm with my mom that your relationship has nothing to do with me?”
“Yep.” Wu Tong nodded. “Your mom is my idol. During our time together in Hong Kong, she gained my admiration even more, and we became close. If she wants me to be her goddaughter, I am a thousand times willing to do so. Now that I’ve confirmed that she likes me for me and not for you, of course, everything is resolved.”
Meng Fan pointed to himself. “Then what about me?”
Wu Tong suddenly realized something and smiled. “Do me and your mom have any blood relations or legal relations? Then I have no blood relationship or legal relationship to you! Will this still affect our relationship then?”
“But…”
“But what? What decade are your thoughts coming from!? Besides, you haven’t even successfully attained me yet, why are you thinking so far ahead?”
“What?”
“I’ll treat you this time.”
Wu Tong stood up and paid the bill before heading out.
“What?”
Meng Fan remained seated and stunned for a long time.
In the past, Meng Fan felt that his thoughts were on par with Wu Tong’s. But now he understood that this kind of deja vu was from interacting with his own mother.
