804 Tang Yun’s Insecurity
Tang Yun's Insecurity
Tang Yun felt like she was useless. She couldn't help Lin Yi and she had a greedy mother who also wanted face, there was no way she could scold her mother in front of so many people!
Tang Yun was stuck in a difficult position. She looked at her pleased mother and stomped in panic again. Her family had already bothered Lin Yi a lot, how could you also bother him for other people?
Tang Yun didn't know what to do and suddenly felt someone holding her petite hands. Familiar warmth and strength made her lift her head up and found Lin Yi smiling at her.
"Ah!" Tang Yun jumped, "When… When did you come?"
Lin Yi was originally with her mother and Fen's family sorting out the furnishings while she stayed outside, occupied in her thoughts and didn't notice Lin Yi approach her.
"What are you thinking right now?" Lin Yi noticed that Tang Yun's expressions looked unnatural as if she was annoyed and embarrassed.
"Nothing…" How could she tell Lin Yi her real opinion?
"I helped Fen's family because of Kang Xiaobo. She's not only your good friend, but she's also Xiaobo's girlfriend," Lin Yi guessed what she was thinking. It was already a loss for Fatty Lai to give Fen's family such a discount, it was too much for him to give their family free furnishings too.
However, Lin Yi didn't think it was big and Fatty Lai wouldn't mind a small amount of money like this.
"Thank you…" Tang Yun felt much better after hearing Lin Yi's explanation. Her glance towards Lin Yi was soft and filled with love. Recalling back to their relationship, it was smooth but also difficult. Because of it, Tang Yun felt like she was always walking on ice. From her misunderstandings about him to her feelings of love, she didn't want to lose these feelings and treated their relationship carefully.
"You don't have to worry about it. Your mother had a difficult time," Lin Yi saw right through her mother, "Uncle Tang's leg was broken and he can't even get up. Aunt has to support your entire family herself and will naturally feel tired. She can only hide it inside her heart without telling Uncle Tang. She has silently supported the family for so many years and now she finally has a chance to pretend to be cool… Uh, I mean, to do things just for her pleasure, naturally she won't let the chance slip by…"
Tang Yun was angry but also amused as she glared at Lin Yi, "That's harsh. Although my Mum is a snob but she's a good person…"
"I know, that's why I played along, didn't I?" Lin Yi shrugged.
"I'll have a chat to her after we go home, we can't always put you in difficult positions like this…" Tang Yun talked everything out with Lin Yi and sighed in relief. It looked like Lin Yi didn't really care about it.
"Not really," Lin Yi shook his head, "However, I am afraid that if your mother encountered a boss wealthier than me, what if she sells you to him?"
"No way!" Tang Yun shook her head, "Unless she kills me."
"Haha…" Lin Yi held her hands rightly, "Let's go and have a look at the furnishing style. It's your home, shouldn't you give some advice?"
"Ok…" Tang Yun's problem was solved and became much happier as she walked around the house with Lin Yi.
The unit was indeed spacious. She never imagined her family affording such a large home before and coming in, she never wanted to leave again.
At night, Tang Yun decided to talk to her mother seriously.
"Mum, how could you make Fatty… CEO Lai furnish for Fen's family?" Tang Yun pouted, "Do you how expensive materials are? How will there be extra? Even if they bought extra materials, they would give it to other residents who drew the special prize, why would they have any remainder?"
"Look at you. How poor is Fen's family? She's your good friend, we should try to help them if we can!" Mrs. Tang didn't think it mattered at all.
"But you are bothering him! In the end, won't they owe Lin Yi a favour?" Tang Yun fumed at her mother's words. Although they should help their friends in need, they could only help within their capability otherwise they would be swelling their faces by slapping it!
"What favour?" Mrs. Tang glared at her daughter, "Don't you think that I can't tell that Lil' Lai is Lin Yi's subordinate!"
"Huh?" Tang Yun didn't expect her mother to see through it and she froze.
"See?" Mrs. Tang was pleased, "Whenever I asked something, he looked at Lin Yi to seek confirmation with such respect! He treats you with the same attitude and you think I don't know that? What did you want to call him? Fatty Lai? You are a grown up now so you can even lie to your mother? Aren't you familiar with him? Putting on a show for me?"
"Mum… I…" Tang Yun's face flushed red. She was bad at lying and she was embarrassed after her mother pointed it out.
"Humph. Look at Lil' Lai's attitude, he called me Aunt. He's the CEO of a business, why would he treat a housewife so politely? We are asking others for a favour, not them begging us! You think your mother is blind? And that special prize, that's bullshit, it was a electric kettle but he had to say it was the special prize!" Mrs. Tang gabbled on, "You think I didn't realise? Lil' Lai wanted to please Lin Yi and you! This kid, why don't you know how to utilise this connection to give us a house for free?"
"I… I… I…" Tang Yun was furious. She wanted to talk about her mother but now she was the one getting scolded. She didn't know how to talk back and panicked, "But aren't you still troubling Lin Yi? Even if he is Lin Yi's subordinate, isn't he still Lin Yi's man?"
"Isn't Lin Yi's yours too? Are you stupid? You are his girlfriend, you are Lil' Lai's sister-in-law!" Mrs. Tang replied naturally.
"How is that the same? You made this happen and I owe Lin Yi more and more! I feel like I can't even lift my head up in front of him!" Tang Yun was now worked up and looked at her mother stubbornly, "Do you know how many girls like Lin Yi? I can't help him and bother him every single day, how can I compete with other girls?"
"Compete? Aren't you his girlfriend already?" Mrs. Tang questioned back, "What can a girl do anyway? When you sleep with him in the future, everything will cancel out!"
