Chapter 113: Little Sazae's Infidelity Behind Our Backs!

  Old Mrs. Huo pinched a chess piece with her right hand and cracked melon seeds with her left, with an unprecedented look of comfort on her face...

  "Tong Xiaomai, hurry up and make your move, why are you being so slow?" She kept urging Tong Mai to make her move quickly.

  "Wait a minute... don't be in such a hurry, you were just pondering for half a day, look at you, I'm just a bit slower and you're getting impatient, do you know your speed is at least ten times slower than mine? If you don't speed up, I'll really have to take a nap,"

  She was called into the room, wondering what it was about, but it turned out she was there to play chess with her.

  She worked hard all day and was still willing to accompany her to practice chess at night.

  Wipe...

  Is there such a frustrating thing, the key is that she thought about it again and again, hesitated and went back, you came and I went, a simple back-and-forth took more than ten minutes, Tong Mai's nerves were almost completely collapsed by her...

  She would rather go to work than accompany him in practice.

  "No way, you're so young and all you think about is sleep, wasting your youth in bed, is that enjoyable? You people of this generation, men and women alike, are all very unreasonable, lacking in upbringing, especially you, no respect for elders or youngsters, rushing forward recklessly, severely lacking in education."

  Mrs. Huo came down and said a lot of things, but what she said was lacking in education, not scolding her for being poorly raised... This is a very different choice of words, at least it didn't hurt Tong Mai's self-esteem too much.

  "Old lady, I'm tired. Why don't you try doing some chores tomorrow and see if you can just sleep all day? Hurry up, once we're done, we can each go rest," Tong Mai was indeed getting a bit impatient.

  Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

  Old lady, may I compare you to a turtle?

  I'm completely heartbroken...

  "Finish this game, then another one, and another one... I'll let you rest," Madam Ho obviously wasn't going to let her off that easily.

  "What's next, next, old lady, your words really don't make sense, you can just say three games in total and that's it," Tong Mai Wan corrected seriously, like a messenger of justice.

  "You're a dead brain, saying I'm illogical? Are you logical yourself? What score did you get in math when you were studying? When I was studying, my scores were always 100%. Have you ever gotten 100%? Look at you, lazy and sloppy, your grades must be terrible," Old Lady Huo's counterattack ability was quite strong, and she could always find many topics to talk about with Tong Mai.

  "My math... if I perform normally, it's 50 points, if not, then around 30 points, still passable..." Tong Mai pinched the chess piece, like a female Zhuge Liang of her generation, speaking slowly and deliberately, as if she didn't think it was shameful at all.

  What's embarrassing about being bad at math? All children are equally poor at math, it doesn't make a difference if she is one of them or not.

  And what's the use of being good at math anyway? It's not like you're going to be the successor of Hua Luogeng.

  "Roar......"

  Upon hearing this, Old Lady Huo was taken aback and looked at the usually timid Dead Girl in disbelief, who was now surprisingly calm, and probably only she would have the audacity to say "it's passable".

  "Dead girl, 30 points in math... Haha... You're stupid to the core," Old Lady Huo sneered with a contemptuous smile.

  Tong Mai gave her a displeased glance, extremely disgusted with the word "stupid". "Are you going to make a move or not? Playing chess with you is truly meaningless. You're slow and not even my match, it's clear I'll win anyway, do we need to continue?"

  People say "to meet a worthy opponent", these four words, at this moment, Tong Mai finally has a deep understanding. Playing chess with someone who is not on the same level as himself is like soaking in cold water on a cold winter's day, both body and mind are chilled to the bone...

  "Don't rush me, the more you rush me, the slower I'll go."

  "Old lady, can't you put the melon seeds aside for now? After we're done, you can focus on eating them seriously by yourself. You're already very slow, and now you're trying to do two things at once. I really can't take it anymore," Tong Mai stopped and complained with a face full of grievances.

  "Ding..."

  No sooner had he finished speaking than Tong Mai's mobile phone rang loudly.

  "Who is it, calling so late at night? Which wild man is it?" Old Lady Huo said, stretching her neck curiously and leaning in close to Tong Mai, trying to get a glimpse.

  "Old lady, this is my private matter... I don't have the obligation to report to you," Tong Mai raised an eyebrow, pretending to be coquettish, and proudly waved her mobile phone.

  "Cut it out, who cares about your private life, laugh to death," Old Lady Hu hastily withdrew her neck and flustered expression as if trying to quickly erase her previous behavior.

  Tong Mai glanced at the caller ID display, it was Yin Yuqi... What is she doing? Really, doesn't she know that she didn't want to hear her voice at all?

  "I'll go answer the phone," Tong Mai got up and left his seat.

  "It's really a wild man clinging to her body, what kind of phone call is it that needs to be so mysterious and can't even be answered in front of me," Old Lady Huo curled up her lips with great disdain. However, not long after, she also followed Tong Mai to get up, sneaking and peeking behind her back, full of curiosity...

  "What's up?" Tong Mai answered the phone with a very urgent tone, and Yin Yuqi had better have enough reason to look for her.

  "Wheat, where are you now? You haven't come home for several days and we're all worried about you," Yin Yuki's sweet and gentle voice came through the phone, full of concern for her.

  However, Tong Mai was completely unappreciative of her concern.

  She's only been gone for a few days and they're already worried, but in the past when she didn't come home for several years while living alone in London, why didn't they worry about her then?

  "Don't speak those polite words, just say what you want to say quickly. If not, I'll hang up," she seemed still angry about the previous Yun Yuqi "playing" her, intentionally putting her on hold, as if she didn't have a man to attend to, and had to cling to that Ning guy...

  "Wheat, are you still mad at me? I'm sorry about what happened with Xian Ning, I really didn't mean any harm, it's just that Xian Ning had something urgent come up..."

  "That's enough, that's enough. If you called to tell me these things, I've heard them, hang up the phone," she was very impatient, super impatient, even though she knew that Yinyuqi was not like her mother, a shrew who didn't care about reason, but she just couldn't give her a good face to look at.

  "Wait... Xiao Mai, in a few days it's Father's birthday, he wants you to come back," said Yin Yuqi.

  Dad's birthday...... Long life to you, sis!

  She now despises him from the bottom of her heart and refuses to acknowledge that he is her own father. She doesn't have such an unfeeling, unrighteous, weak and incompetent father...

  Yin Yuqi saw that Xiaomai didn't respond and pressed on with a stronger tone, "Xiaomai, Dad wants you to come back for sure."

  Something's off... really off. Tong Mai seems to have caught wind of a conspiracy.

  Isn't this a bit too strange? In the past, they were eager to hide her and cover up her identity, not wanting others to expose the scandal of that year.

  Now, they actually say she must go back, what are they planning, okay, she waits for them to play their tricks. So, Tong Mai's answer didn't immediately refuse, "Let's talk about it that day, I'll hang up first."

  Then hung up the phone decisively.

  Tong Mai's eyes couldn't help but add a layer of thick doubt, and when she turned around, Old Lady Huo was standing not far behind her. Seeing Tong Mai had seen her, Old Lady Huo hastily turned back, "Stinky girl, you finished your phone call without saying a word..."

  "Old lady, what are you doing? You actually eavesdropped on my phone call, how...!"

  "The two words 'despicable' were finally swallowed by Tong Mai, and a thread of anger emerged on his face."

  "What's the big deal if I eavesdropped? You're not discussing any state secrets, are you?" Old Lady Huo said with a dismissive tone, rolling her eyes, but secretly feeling a thrill of excitement.

  "It's not a state secret and you can't eavesdrop on me, this is my privacy, privacy, do you understand? You're too disrespectful," Tong Mai said in annoyance.

  The grandfather and grandson of the Huo family are truly one-of-a-kind, doing shameful things, doing wrong things, yet with an arrogant and rude expression on their faces...

  "Hey... let's play chess, what are you muttering about? If we don't finish the game, you won't be able to sleep," Old Lady Huo interrupted, "You've been on the phone for so long, what sweet nothings are you talking about?"

  She actually didn't hear what Tong Mai was saying just now, so she asked tentatively at this time.

  Tong Mai glanced at her and continued along the lines of what she was saying, "As for sweet nothings... of course it's nothing new, just 'I love you', 'I miss you' and that sort of thing."

  "You stinky girl, you actually dare to have an affair with Xiao Ze behind our backs, don't you want to live anymore?" Old Lady Huo's anger was overwhelming, and she shouted loudly.

  "What...what, having an affair," Tong Mai was startled by Old Lady Huo's words.

  "Isn't that right, you had an affair with our Xiao Ze and then also had another one with other wild men? Isn't this infidelity and betrayal? I have to tell our Xiao Ze about it, let him be careful of you, this dead girl. You look like an angel but have a devil's heart, I knew it... The moral quality of men and women these days is too poor."

  Old Lady Hu completely stopped and kept educating Tong Mai,

  "Old lady, wait a minute, don't say that... I think it's necessary for me to clarify, I and your little Taka have absolutely no relationship whatsoever. He is him, I am me, I'm looking for my own wild man, he's looking for his own wild woman... completely unrelated. Old lady, what's wrong with you? Isn't it better that I have a wild man so you don't have to worry about me seducing your precious grandson? And the expression on your face now is like you're hoping I'd get together with your grandson or something, you're not normal!"

  Tong Mai slightly blinked, his gaze falling on Old Lady Huo's body. "You're crazy, how could I possibly want you to be with Xiao Ze? You think about bullying my grandson? Don't even think about it."

  She raised her voice as if to cover up her inner disappointment...

  However, Mrs. Huo was slightly disappointed, they didn't have a relationship, did they? But it seemed unusually ambiguous...
