Chapter 188: Chapter 183: Mom on the Move (Fifth Update)

In the evening, when all the other households in the village had finished their meals and gone for a walk, Granny Kong shakily carried two large bags of garbage home, eliciting not a shred of sympathy from the villagers.

Over the years, Kong Wenjun had been spoiled by her to an extreme degree, often stealing chickens and dogs from these households, and there wasn’t a single one he hadn’t troubled. Yet Granny Kong was unyielding, saying what’s the big deal if her eldest grandson took a few things from them? If he made something of himself later, he could repay them.

With Kong Wenjun’s thuggish ways, they all felt it was only a matter of time before he’d end up in prison. Have a bright future? Dream on! They thought about reporting him to the police, but the stolen items never met the threshold for filing a case. So, these households could only keep their distance. Thankfully, Kong Wenjun grew up and started to disdain the trivial offerings of the village. The incidents of the past were left unresolved, but the Kong Family was already on their blacklist, so there was no question of sympathy.

Speaking of the Kong Family, they were often the subject of idle gossip in the village, especially since Kong Lizhi went to prison, after which their family had never recovered.

Granny Kong was unreasonable, raising her youngest son to be just as unruly. After Kong Lizhi got out of prison, he was said to be borrowing money at high interest rates to start a business, only to end up with nothing, hounded by creditors. Kong Zhenzhen, the younger daughter, got married after graduating from university and hasn’t returned for years. Even when she did come back a couple of years ago, her clothes and complexion suggested she wasn’t faring well either.

The villagers all sighed. Kong Lizhi had been so prestigious back when he was married, running a big company in the city, residing in a mansion, driving a luxury car — everyone in the village envied the Kong Family. Alas, he couldn’t control his own desires, upholding the antiquated notion of preferring sons over daughters. Now he reaped what he sowed!

Through the Kong Family’s ordeal, the other households in the village learned a lesson. Favouring males over females was unacceptable, and keeping mistresses and illegitimate children was even worse. Everyone cherished their peaceful and prosperous life, adamantly rejecting feudal ignorance and always promoting truth, goodness, and beauty. Especially some of the elders, after seeing Granny Kong’s plight, were more diligent in educating their sons, insisting on treating grandchildren equally, and completely abandoning any form of favoritism.

Indeed, since the villagers had this epiphany, their quality of life had been steadily improving. Their village had transformed from being infamous for favoring males to becoming a model of civility, with everyone enjoying newfound prosperity.

In Jing City, taking advantage of her daughter’s upcoming summer vacation, Ye Qiu visited the local branch to inspect it and also planned to pick up her daughter to travel abroad. Ye Qiu knew where her daughter’s dormitory was and decided to surprise her, so she didn’t notify her and waited beneath her daughter’s dormitory building after arriving at Jing University.

Ye Wenjin returned from the exam site to see a familiar figure standing under the big tree at the dormitory entrance.

"Wenyin, what’s going on?" The roommate followed her as she quickly ran over, marveling at the beautiful woman standing below, and then she saw her roommate throw herself into the beauty’s arms with joy, exclaiming "Mom."

This is Ye Wenjin’s mom? Her roommate couldn’t believe her eyes; she was incredibly beautiful!

In reality, Ye Qiu’s features were not exceptionally delicate, but her skin was fair and smooth, her hair was lustrous and black, and she had a graceful figure. Most captivating was her demeanor. Dressed in a sky-blue cheongsam today, she stood quietly like a cooling spring in the heat of summer that seeped into one’s soul.

"Mom, you’re here! Why didn’t you let me know?" Ye Wenjin whined as she hugged Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiuqing laughed softly: "Mom wanted to surprise you! Don’t you like it?"

Ye Wenjin’s smile stretched wide, unable to hide the happiness in her eyes: "I like it."

"Well, that’s good."

The mother and daughter got cozier for a while, and seeing the three roommates still standing bewildered on the side, Ye Wenjin, with rosy cheeks, introduced her classmates to Ye Qiu: "Mom, these are my roommates and also my best friends."

"Hello," Ye Qiu greeted the three young girls with a smile.

The three girls were instantly mesmerized, dazedly hurrying to say, "Hello, Auntie."

Ye Wenjin watched from the side, finding the scene hilariously adorable and immensely proud. Her mom’s charm was just that immense; over the years, countless people had pursued her mom. Although she loved her mom, she also wished her mom could find her other half, but, unfortunately, it seemed her mom had no such intentions.

It was now afternoon, and Ye Qiu checked her watch and asked, "Do you have exams tonight? If you don’t mind, Auntie would like to treat you to dinner."

"We’re available."

"Not at all."

"It would be an honor."

The three girls rapidly replied, none of them ones to put on airs, and besides, dining with such a stunning beauty, how could they not be overjoyed to death, right?

"Then do you have any place to recommend?" Ye Qiu led the four little girls toward the parking lot, asking as they walked.

"Let’s go to ’Wenyin Fiery,’ their hotpot is both affordable and delicious."

"Yeah, it’s been a while since I had it, kinda miss it."

"Really don’t know who the owner is, how can they make such delicious hotpot?"

Ye Qiu naturally had no objections, but Ye Wenjin couldn’t help but chuckle. When she started university, she had no intention of showing off her background, so her three roommates naturally didn’t know that the nationwide "Wenyin Fiery" hotpot chain was their family business.

Ye Wenjin laughed and said, "Well, you guys better eat a lot later, today we dine at this place for free."

What does that mean? The roommates were confused, but when they arrived at the restaurant, saw the manager personally coming out to welcome them, and respectfully calling Ye Qiu "Boss," they understood why. And then they also knew why the hotpot restaurant used the character "Wenyin" – it was their roommate’s name! She had kept it quite the secret!

Because Ye Qiu was present, the other three roommates only gave Ye Wenjin looks that screamed volumes, planning that once they got back at night, they would surely interrogate her properly.

Meanwhile, they recalled an image from last year when a certain rich second generation looked down on Ye Wenjin. Thinking back, no wonder their roommate was so calm at the time, owning the most popular chain of hotpot restaurants in the country – ’I won’t say much, but if I did, it’d probably scare you to death.’ They were really looking forward to the day the rich second generation found out the truth, imagining the embarrassment on his behalf.

Throughout her life, Ye Wenjin had been exceptionally well-taught by Ye Qiu, acting always unhurried and keeping people at a proper distance, always knowing what she wanted, maintaining a good attitude towards everything, and holding clear views about everyone.

She got married at the age of twenty-five, maybe not to the one she loved the most, but certainly to the one who loved her the most. Two years later, they had a child. With the strong financial support given by Ye Qiu, she lived a happy and fulfilling life.
