Chapter 329: Chapter 329: Yan Luoxi’s Double Standard? An Enraged Ms. Tang

"Heh heh..."

But when Tang Wanfang heard what Yan Luoxi said, this time she actually laughed out of sheer anger.

’Listen to this! What kind of nonsense is she spouting!?’

Her face darkened as she spoke. "Fine, then why don’t you come over here, and at lunchtime, you can get on a video call with him and we can all eat together."

"..."

Yan Luoxi was momentarily speechless.

"What’s wrong?"

"Is that not allowed?"

"If I want to talk, a video call is good enough."

"But he wants to have lunch with you, so a video call isn’t? I’m your mother, you know! How can you have such a blatant double standard!"

Tang Wanfang said, her tone filled with dissatisfaction.

’This...’

Yan Luoxi bit her lip, feeling that maybe she had gone a little too far.

"Sigh..."

She let out a soft sigh and said, "Mom, I’m sorry."

Hearing Yan Luoxi apologize, Tang Wanfang’s anger subsided slightly.

But before she could reply...

...Yan Luoxi spoke again. "But Mom, please forgive my double standard. I still want to have lunch with him tomorrow."

?????

Tang Wanfang forcibly swallowed the words that were already on the tip of her tongue!

’Unbelievable.’

’I’m sorry.’

’And then, "I still want to eat with him"?’

’Incredible! Just incredible!’

’Truly, my own daughter!’

’Are you trying to be the death of me?!’

This time, Tang Wanfang was truly about to explode with rage!

Seeing that her mother had gone silent, Yan Luoxi thought for a moment before speaking again. "Or how about this, Mom? You pick a place. I’ll bring him there tomorrow for lunch, and we can all eat together."

’Hmm?’

’If Yan Luoxi had said that from the start, Tang Wanfang would have definitely agreed.’

’At least it would let her choose the restaurant, right?’

’Doesn’t a mother have her pride?!’

But! Now? She didn’t want to accept it anymore!

"I don’t want to see him."

Tang Wanfang said sulkily, her face dark.

’If that boy really is to become her son-in-law, then she is, after all, the mother-in-law. Isn’t a prospective son-in-law supposed to come pay a visit to their home? Just asking her to pick a place and go out to eat? Who’s ever heard of such a thing?’

’If Yan Luoxi’s new boyfriend wants her approval, he has to play by her rules.’

Hearing this, Yan Luoxi frowned. "Mom, he’s a really good person. Please don’t make things difficult for him, okay?"

"Heh."

Tang Wanfang scoffed.

An awkward silence fell over the call.

After two and a half seconds of silence,

Yan Luoxi was the one to speak. "Mom, I have to get back to work. We can talk about meeting up later."

With that, she hung up.

BEEP... BEEP... BEEP...

Hearing Yan Luoxi hang up on her just like that, Tang Wanfang fumed.

She tossed her phone onto the sofa and stood up in a huff.

Just then, Yan Zhenbang came home. The moment he walked into the living room, he saw that something was wrong with his wife’s expression.

Taking off his coat as he walked over, he asked, "What’s wrong, Wanfang?"

Hearing her husband’s voice, Tang Wanfang turned to look at him. "Old Yan, it’s a disaster!"

"Hm?"

Yan Zhenbang froze for a second. His brows knitted together as he asked with a serious expression, "Is there trouble at the company?"

"Not that!"

Tang Wanfang shook her head.

Yan Zhenbang was confused. "Then what is it?"

Tang Wanfang gritted her teeth. "Xixi said she’s made it official with that boy she likes."

"Uh..."

After hearing the news, Yan Zhenbang froze for a moment before falling silent.

When Tang Wanfang saw that her husband wasn’t talking, she assumed he was also having trouble accepting the news.

So she asked, "Old Yan, are you upset too?"

Yan Zhenbang shook his head. "Not really."

Although, he had felt a flicker of discomfort when he first heard the news himself.

"Then why were you silent?"

Tang Wanfang asked with a frown.

"I already knew about it," Yan Zhenbang said.

"Hm?"

Tang Wanfang’s eyes flew wide open!

A second later, her face darkened. "You knew?"

"So I’m the only one who was kept in the dark, is that it?!"

"You and your daughter are really something else!"

"Uh..."

Yan Zhenbang quickly explained, "No, I only just found out a little while ago myself."

"If you just found out, why didn’t you tell me!"

"So you two are a family, and I’m just the outsider with the last name Tang, is that it?"

Tang Wanfang was already fuming, and this thought just made her even angrier.

"Wanfang, what nonsense are you talking!"

"Sigh..."

Yan Zhenbang sighed helplessly. "I only know because I happened to run into Xixi on my way home just now!"

"You happened to run into her?" Tang Wanfang asked. "So that means you saw what the boy looks like?"

"Er... not exactly."

"I just saw Xixi as I was driving past her, but I didn’t get a clear look. I called her afterward, and that’s when she told me!"

Yan Zhenbang explained, "I probably only found out a few minutes before you did."

"Hmph!"

Tang Wanfang snorted but said nothing.

She had just been angry and was looking for a way to vent. Hearing her husband’s explanation, she finally felt a little better.

"Alright, our daughter found a boyfriend. That’s a good thing, so stop being angry."

Yan Zhenbang knew his wife’s temperament well, so he tried to soothe her. "You used to pester her about not having a boyfriend, and now that she has one, you’re against it. Isn’t that a bit of a contradiction?"

"Do you really want Xixi to never find a boyfriend, never get married, and grow old all alone?"

...

Tang Wanfang knew her husband was right, but she just couldn’t shake her annoyance.

Especially since her own daughter had just refused to even come home for a meal with her, all for that boy.

That made her even more irritated!

"I don’t know why, but I just have a feeling this boyfriend of Xixi’s is no good!"

Tang Wanfang declared.

"Uh..."

Hearing his wife’s words, Yan Zhenbang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Now, Wanfang, you haven’t even met the man, and you’re already saying he’s no good. That’s not fair!"

"Besides, do you really have that little faith in your own daughter’s judgment?"

Yan Zhenbang said with a sigh of resignation.

"Hmph!"

"I don’t care!"

"It’s not going to be that easy to get my approval. At the very least, that boy needs to come see me in person. I want to see how sincere he is before I decide anything!"

"And if there’s anything I don’t like, I won’t give my approval!"

Tang Wanfang said stubbornly.

Yan Zhenbang knew his wife was just talking out of anger, so he said, "Alright, alright. Just have Xixi bring the boy home to meet us sometime, and then you’ll know for sure."

"Until then, try not to judge him before you’ve even met him!"

Tang Wanfang: "..."
