C53 (1/2)

”Uncle, my mom and I argued last night …”

Xie Min recounted the whole story of the fight between the mother and daughter from last night. When she finished, she suddenly realized that her anger had also subsided. Actually, many people were like this. Sometimes, it wasn't a big deal, they just wanted to find someone who could listen to their crying and vent out.

Tang Tianbao slowly pulled his hand away because his hand was already convulsing. He shook his wrist under the table and took a sip from his glass with his other hand to bolster his courage.

”The philosopher Kant once said that anger is the punishment of others' mistakes. So, you don't need to be angry. You should be happy. Look, you are only eighteen years old right now, and you are in the prime of your life. What happened to single-parent families? I'm from a single-parent family too, aren't I living a good life? For your parents to choose to divorce before you even make a sound, it only means that they are not in charge. This is not your fault at all. ” In order to please and encourage Xie Min, Tang Tianbao told her that he was also a single-parent family.

”Just apologize to your mother when you get home. She only said those things to you because she cared about you. ” Tang Tianbao told Xie Min in the end.

”She doesn't believe me at all.” Xie Min said stubbornly.

”Sigh.” Tang Tianbao sighed and said self-reproachfully, ”It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you drink so much last night. It's a pity that I also drank too much. I don't even know how I got home in the end … ”Haha.”

The two of them laughed as they spoke.

”Uncle, I beg of you.” Xie Min suddenly turned weird as she spoke, her large eyes twinkling in an adorable manner.

”What is it?” Tang Tianbao asked.

”Promise me first.” Xie Min said like a ghost.

Tang Tianbao thought for a moment. He could promise her anything besides borrowing money.

”Can you do it?” Xie Min urged impatiently.

At first, Tang Tianbao did not want to reveal his embarrassing life situation, but he was truly worried that Xie Min would ask to borrow money from him.

Tang Tianbao took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it up. He exhaled a mouthful of smoke and composed himself before saying, ”Other than borrowing money, I can help you with anything else. I just don't have any money. I have everything else. ” Tang Tianbao thought back to what he had said and felt a bit disgusted. Why was he in such a bad shape?

”Haha.” Xie Min burst into laughter.

Tang Tianbao took another drag on his cigarette. This time, he took a deep drag and his head felt a bit dizzy. After a pause, he added, ”I'm telling the truth. If I were to borrow money, I really wouldn't be able to help you much. ”

Tang Tianbao's worry wasn't unreasonable, as Xie Min had once told him that she wanted to open a studio. Naturally, he had invested quite a bit into the studio's opening. Tang Tianbao didn't know that Xie Min's mother was the boss of Eilan Fashion Metropolitan Women's Clothing Company, Su Ai Lan. He was worried that Xie Min wouldn't be able to raise enough money.

”Aiya, Uncle, it's not borrowing money!” Are you going to promise me or not? ” Xie Min stared blankly at him with her big eyes.

”Fine, just say it. As long as it's within my capabilities, I will not refuse even if I die.” Tang Tianbao said as he cupped his hands together, pretending to have the bearing of a warrior.

”I want to stay at your place for a few days, is that alright?” Xie Min smiled as she pleaded.

This was something that Tang Tianbao would never have thought of. He would never have thought that Xie Min, a young peerless beauty, would actually want to live with him.

”Stop joking around. You are so rich, how can you not have a place to live? ” Tang Tianbao still didn't dare to believe his ears.

”Then think about it, if I stay in a hotel, I'll stay there too. Why waste the money on hotels? Aren't you right? Wouldn't it be better if I gave you the money? ”Secondly, I don't have anyone living in a hotel. If I live in your house, I can even find someone to chat with.” Xie Min helped Tang Tianbao weigh the pros and cons.

”Then why don't you go home?” Tang Tianbao asked.

”Uncle, your memory is so bad.” Why did he come back? Didn't I tell you that I had a quarrel with my mother? I wanted to come out and have a few days of peace and quiet. ”

Against such a beautiful fairy like lady, Tang Tianbao naturally agreed readily.

”Give me the key.” As soon as Tang Tianbao agreed, Xie Min reached out her hand to ask him for the key.

”I have a key now.” Tang Tianbao did not rush to take out the key and instead explained, ”I'll go prepare a set for you at noon before giving it to you.”

”Give it to me now, I'll make it up.” ”Uncle, go back to work obediently.” Xie Min stood up as she spoke. She patted Tang Tianbao's shoulder and said, ”I'm going back to sleep.”

”I …” After hesitating for a long time, Tang Tianbao finally came up with a reason, ”I'm drunk. I also want to go back and sleep.”

Xie Min glanced at Tang Tianbao. She trusted him.

”Then let's go. Lead the way.”
