Chapter 378: The Turning Point of Fate!

Inside the police car, after watching Lin Xuan’s figure disappear,

Only then did Xu Shuyun turn back with a solemn expression and say in an unprecedentedly stern tone:

“Tang Chuan, did you hear what Lin Xuan said just now?”

“Your forehead looks dark; you’ll have a bloody disaster if you travel far.”

“You are to immediately give up the idea of going to the Maldives.”

“And tomorrow, bring that girlfriend of yours home first for your dad and me to take a look.”

“…………”

Xu Shuyun acted decisively and chose to strike first.

She had to meet, face-to-face, the little vixen her son couldn’t stop thinking about.

Holy crap?! o(⊙▽⊙”a

Did Mom lose her mind or something? Since when did she get so superstitious?

She actually believes this kind of obvious kiddie-con nonsense, what ‘forehead looks dark’? ‘bloody disaster’?

This is the 21st century, how is anyone still believing this nonsense?!

That beast of a cousin isn’t a Taoist priest, does she really think he can pinch-fingers-and-calculate fortunes?

At this moment, Tang Chuan was full of disbelief, his eyes nearly popping out, feeling completely baffled.

He couldn’t understand how such an absurd thing could come out of the mouth of a highly educated woman like his mother?!

This isn’t scientific at all?!!

“Mom! Cousin is just talking nonsense. How can you believe him?”

“Besides, I already made plans privately with Mengmeng, how can I go back on my word? She’ll be disappointed in me!”

“Do you want me to be someone who doesn’t keep his promises?”

“……….”

Facing Tang Chuan’s stubborn arguments and refusal to yield, Xu Shuyun nearly died of anger on the spot.

I built my reputation for a lifetime; how did I give birth to such an idiot?

So stupid, he’s practically about to be sold off, and he’s still eagerly helping them count the money……

If it weren’t for Lin Xuan’s warning, you little brat would be tricked into Myanmar tonight, spending your miserable later years in a dark dungeon inside some compound!

By the time we met again, you and I would already be separated by life and death!!!

……….

“(⊙x⊙;) Shut your mouth! Is that how you talk to your mother?”

“We’re telling you to stay home, so you stay home obediently. You’re not allowed to go anywhere!”

“If you don’t listen, I don’t mind breaking your legs so you can’t leave at all.”

“……….”

Slap slap slap!!!

Compared to Xu Shuyun’s earnest persuasion, Tang Guoan was far more straightforward directly suppressing with force, raising his hand and delivering several big slaps that left his ‘passion product’ dizzy and disoriented.

In the end, under his parents’ iron-hard stance, Tang Chuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and compromise.

Bzz bzz bzz—

Just then, Tang Chuan’s Huawei phone suddenly vibrated.

He opened WeChat and took a look, and the person who messaged him was…

Exactly his Goddess whom he missed day and night—Wu Mengmeng!!!!

[Little Chuan! I’m already at the airport. Hurry and come over now. In about half an hour, the plane will take off.]

At the thought of starting a romantic trip with his Goddess, Tang Chuan’s heart rate instantly sped up, and uncontrollable joy surged inside him.

He originally wanted to find a chance to sneak out, cut first and report later, and directly hold hands with his Goddess and board the flight to the Maldives.

By the time his parents realized, he’d already be lying on the beach enjoying a sunbath—once the rice was cooked, Dad and Mom couldn’t do anything about him.

As for what would happen after returning to China……

Ahem……

As the saying goes:

Drink today’s wine today.

Tomorrow’s problems can wait until tomorrow……

Anyway, when the boat reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself out, there will always be a way………

Thinking that, he excitedly prepared to agree.

But for some reason, Lin Xuan’s earlier ‘inner voice’ suddenly flashed through his mind, and a strange panic and unease rose up inside him.

As if possessed, the WeChat message he typed, without him noticing, became:

[(。?＿?。)? I’m sorry~ Sorry, Mengmeng, something came up at home and I can’t get away!]]

[How about we postpone the travel plan to next week?]

When Tang Chuan came back to his senses, the message had already been sent.

Immediately after, feeling a little guilty, he began finding excuses for himself.

I’m absolutely not postponing because I suspect Mengmeng.

It’s just that I don’t want Dad and Mom to be disappointed and upset, so I changed my decision at the last minute.

Yes, that’s exactly it!

Sigh e=(′o｀*)))—I’m such a filial son!!!

Bzz bzz bzz—

[Okay! If you’ve got something going on, then there’s no helping it. Let’s go next week.]

[If you need my help with anything, you can always come to me.]

[I’ll always stay by your side.]

[Also, don’t overwork yourself. Remember to drink more water and get more rest.]

…………

Looking at the warm, caring replies from his Goddess one after another, Tang Chuan was moved until his eyes sparkled with tears, and at the same time he was so ashamed he wanted to crawl into a hole.

Just a moment ago, he actually wavered a little about Mengmeng, he really deserved to die!!!!

Look… you all take a good look……

My Mengmeng, what an understanding girl she is!

Even though I stood her up for no reason, she wasn’t angry at all, she even gave me warm concern.

What man could possibly withstand that?!!

Sure enough, this girl is worth protecting with one’s whole life!!!

Next, Tang Chuan first apologized sincerely, and promised to buy his Goddess some jewelry, designer bags, and the like as compensation.

Finally, he nervously invited Wu Mengmeng to come to his house tomorrow to meet Tang Dad and Tang Mom, and to discuss engagement matters.

[Okay.]

Receiving that brief reply, Tang Chuan was ecstatic, so excited he started whistling (?＞﹏＜?)?.

In an instant, he drew a bunch of strange looks from everyone else in the car.

This kid—did those big slaps break his brain or what?!

………..

Airport waiting area.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

A woman in a pale-yellow dress with fluffy hair wore an ugly expression as she watched the passenger plane bound for Myanmar rocket into the sky and fly away.

Two and a half minutes later, she dialed a number. After the call connected, she said somewhat respectfully:

“Mr. Huo, the situation has changed. Tang Chuan messaged me, he said something urgent came up at home, so he can’t go to Myanmar for now. It’s been postponed to next week!”

“Hm? What could be so important?!”

On the other end of the phone came a low, hoarse male voice.

Upon hearing he’d been stood up, his pitch abruptly rose by an octave, his voice carrying suppressed anger.

“I’ve already arranged everything in Myanmar. The moment Tang Chuan gets off the plane; we can control him immediately.”

“So much manpower and money were spent during this time, and now you’re telling me he’s not coming?”

“Don’t tell me you slipped up and showed a tell, and that kid Tang Chuan noticed something off?”
