Chapter 82: 81. Still a child Chapter 82: 81. Still a child Tang Shu’s gaze paused on the face that bore a slight resemblance to her own, and she accurately guessed the other person’s identity.
“Mom, I’m Xiao Shu.”
“You’re Xiao Shu?! You’ve grown so much!”
Lin Yunlan was extrely surprised and delighted to see her, tears of excitent forming instantly in her beautiful eyes, her hands wanting to rush forward and embrace her but hesitated due to not having seen each other for over a decade.
Tang Shu genuinely sensed the awkwardness.
However… she felt even more awkward than the other person!
Only Heaven knew how much effort it took for her to call out “Mom” just now.
“Have you… had dinner?”
Thank goodness she had learned a modern elite’s socializing technique from Jing Yu, otherwise she would have been completely flustered.
For the first ti, Tang Shu felt grateful to the “boss” with whom she had shared just two als.
Lin Yunlan imdiately smiled, and the tears in her eyes slid down her cheeks.
Her daughter had truly grown up and even knew how to show concern for her (or not).
“Co to the Xu Family with , the food is already prepared at ho.”
The two originally planned to eat out, but unfortunately, Tang Shu had stayed too late at the set, and by the ti Director Xie let her leave, it was already eight o’clock in the evening.
“That’s not necessary, it’s fine to eat sowhere nearby…”
“How could that be proper? You are just in your teens, at the pri age for growth, how can the food outside compare to a ho-cooked al?”
Lin Yunlan didn’t hesitate, she grabbed Tang Shu’s hand and intended to usher her into the car.
The decisiveness of her actions didn’t match her petite fra.
Tang Shu fell silent, in her teens…?
She was already eighteen, how could she be considered a child?
In Damo, she would have been of age to be married off by now!
If it weren’t for her taking over the Tang Sect, her dad would have arranged her marriage a long ti ago, and she might even have children of her own by now.
Unsure how to interact with her mother, she hesitated for a while but then simply went along with the arrangents, all the while recalling conversations the original host and this mother had from childhood to adulthood.
The chauffeur in the driver’s seat spoke up at the right mont.
“Madam, shall we go back now?”
“Let’s go back.”
Upon hearing the decisive answer, the chauffeur drove towards the Xu Family Villa.
On the way, Lin Yunlan was very nervous, mostly looking at Tang Shu wanting to speak but stopping herself, having a lot to say in her heart but being very careful due to not understanding her daughter’s preferences well.
And Tang Shu…
Forgive her, she was inherently a quiet person.
“Xiao Shu, are your studies doing okay?”
“Fine.”
“Really keeping up?”
“Really.”
The mother and daughter who had not seen each other for over a decade conversed haltingly all the way until they reached the Xu Family’s villa area.
By this ti, Xu Chengfeng, who had been working overti at the company, had also returned.
“Is this Shushu?”
“Hello Uncle Xu.”
Tang Shu stood beside Lin Yunlan with her hands still being held by the latter, outwardly very calm but inwardly feeling sowhat overwheld.
Only upon seeing this second husband of her mother, did she realize for the first ti how vastly different the concepts were between modern people and Damo people.
If this were in Damo…
Forget it, it was ti to face the reality that her mother had remarried.
And this husband of her mother was not only refined and elegant compared to Father Tang; to say he was cultured would not be an exaggeration.
“Alright, since it’s our first eting, I haven’t prepared a gift for you, which really is quite rude. Let’s have dinner first, shall we?”
Xu Chengfeng summoned Aunt Zhang, the housemaid, to get ready for dinner.
And Tang Shu was looked after by Lin Yunlan all the way, from the washroom to the dining table, and was even assisted with getting a brand new set of utensils.
