"Oh, child! What's going on with you? Mom is just asking about you. I think little Tang is really good, right? He has a great work ethic, he's not worse than you, and his family seems quite well-off."
When her daughter snatched the phone away.
Jiang's mother, sitting on the couch, couldn't help but complain.
A slight blush of embarrassment appeared on Jiang Caixia's face.
She looked at her mother with wide eyes and then shook her head vigorously.
Jiang's father, who was also sitting on the couch drinking tea, coughed a couple of times, hinting that she shouldn't worry so much.
"If I don't worry about my daughter, then who will? You? Do you even know how to write letters? What does our daughter know how to do? Send messages on WeChat?"
Jiang's mother said with disdain.
Jiang's father continued drinking his tea in silence, without replying.
"But writing letters is also good. Daughter, look at the world today, writing letters is so romantic. In our time, we only wrote letters because we had no other option."
Jiang's mother's eyes lit up as she looked at her daughter and said: "Yes, daughter, can you write letters? If you can't, mom will write them for you. I assure you they will be as romantic as possible!"
Jiang Caixia crossed her arms and shook her head forcefully, indicating no.
"What's going on? Not this, not that... Don't you like little Tang? I think he's really good. And what about the one Grandpa Gu introduced to you last time? That boy has gotten really famous lately, oh my God! Did you see the news?"
Jiang's mother continued to worry.
Jiang Caixia tilted her head and thought for a moment before remembering that boy's name was Ye Qingshan.
She didn't even feel like responding, so she just lowered her head and used her phone to send a message to Tang Yu, asking what he wanted to eat tomorrow.
She also invited Xie Jiujiu.
When Xie Jiujiu found out she could go to Jiang Caixia's house to eat, she was very happy.
Her grandparents and parents were on a trip, and she felt really bored being home alone.
"Little Tang, guess where I'm eating tomorrow."
She sent a message to Tang Yu.
"I have no idea... It won't be at Little Jiang's house, right?"
"…"
When she saw that this guy had already guessed she was going to eat at Jiang Caixia's house, Xie Jiujiu reacted immediately and quickly asked: "Are you going too tomorrow? Then come pick me up by car and we can go together."
"Okay."
"Should we take Keke?"
"No, she has to do her homework."
Tang Keke was glued to Tang Yu, spying on his screen.
When she heard she would have to do homework tomorrow, her face immediately showed a pained expression.
"But I already did homework last week, why do I have to do it again tomorrow?"
"Did you eat yesterday? Do you want to eat crap tomorrow?"
Tang Yu pinched the girl's face. It had a good texture, although her brain wasn't very sharp.
"You're the one eating crap, how disgusting! Stinky dad!"
Tang Keke swatted Tang Yu's hand away and said: "Besides, I think both aunts like you."
"Do you know what 'like' means?"
"Yes, the boy who sits to my left, Li Yong, gives me snacks every day, that means he likes me. And the one who sits to my right, Zhang Peng, also buys me food all the time and argues with Li Yong constantly. I think both of them are in love with me."
"…"
Tang Yu felt desolate. At such a young age, they were already acting like "suck-ups." What will they be like when they grow up?
The next morning, around ten o'clock, Tang Yu drove to Xie Jiujiu's house.
When he arrived at the building, he saw Xie Jiujiu slowly coming out of the elevator, holding a large, elegantly wrapped box.
"Little Tang, help me hold this, I can't take it anymore."
Seeing Tang Yu, the blushing Xie Jiujiu immediately asked for help.
"What is this?"
Tang Yu ran to take the box and asked.
"A cake. Didn't you know today is Little Jiang's birthday?"
Xie Jiujiu massaged her sore hands and returned the question.
Tang Yu tilted his head like Jiang Caixia did, showing confusion.
Why didn't he remember today was Jiang Caixia's birthday?
"Did I make a mistake? Didn't she invite us to her house because it's her birthday and she's too shy to say it?"
Xie Jiujiu looked shocked.
Jiang Caixia, being so introverted, suddenly invited them to her house...
After thinking about it for a long time, she imagined a scene of a lonely Jiang Caixia, only having her parents to celebrate her birthday every year.
And now, finally having friends at work, she decided to gather the courage to invite them.
"Stop thinking like that!"
Tang Yu gave her a light tap on the forehead. What was this girl imagining all day?
"You hit me! Rude! I'm going to bite you!"
Xie Jiujiu clung to his arm and opened her mouth, but Tang Yu pinched her face and left her motionless. In a few seconds, she gave up with a pitiful expression.
When they arrived at Jiang's house, they rang the doorbell.
After a moment, the door opened and Jiang Caixia looked at them with her head tilted, noticing they were carrying things.
"The boss bought a cake because he thought it was your birthday."
Tang Yu, amused, handed the cake to Jiang Caixia.
She received it, placed it on the table, and then whispered in Xie Jiujiu's ear: "Thank you."
"O(￣ヘ￣o＃), my grandma says you should never show up empty-handed. Unlike certain thoughtless people who come empty-handed!"
Xie Jiujiu nudged Tang Yu with her elbows and murmured, still upset about the pinch on her face.
"Oh, you didn't need to bring gifts! Don't be so formal, consider this house your own."
Jiang's mother, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with several trays of fruit and placed them on the table.
"Eat without hesitation!"
"Thank you, aunt. Aunt, can I help in the kitchen?"
In front of the elders, Xie Jiujiu was always very polite.
"No, just watch TV. Caixia and I will handle it."
Jiang's mother patted Xie Jiujiu's head. She really liked this girl. She wished her daughter could be as lively.
But there was something that didn't sit right with her...
This girl and Little Tang seemed too close.
Being from the north, Jiang's mother was very skilled at cooking northeastern food.
When she finished cooking, the table was so full that the plates barely fit.
"Aunt, this is too much."
Xie Jiujiu swallowed.
No wonder Jiang Caixia brought so much food to work, and there was still leftovers.
The plates were huge, like small washbasins.
"Eat well. Little Tang, try this pork kidney. I made it especially for you. You look pale, you seem weak."
She placed a big piece on his plate.
"Little Tang, you're weak? Why didn't you tell me? I could ask them to give you more food in the cafeteria!"
Xie Jiujiu laughed nonstop.
Tang Yu shoved a handful of cilantro into her mouth.
Xie Jiujiu nearly cried as she swallowed it. She hated cilantro, but didn't waste food.
"Still laughing?"
. Tang Yu smiled.
She covered her mouth and shook her head, walking away.
Jiang Caixia watched them play, smiled, and then felt a little sad.
She envied Xie Jiujiu.
She wanted to be as free with Tang Yu as Xie was.
But she couldn't do that, not even talking about causing a scene—she couldn't even raise her voice.
That's why Tang could joke and play with the team leader.
But with her, it was always polite and courteous.
The more time passed, the more she felt the team leader and Tang were getting closer.
While she always kept a certain distance from Tang.
She didn't know how to shorten that distance, didn't know what to do, didn't even know what to say.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing Jiang Caixia's gaze, Tang Yu smiled and asked.
Jiang Caixia blinked slightly, and after losing herself for a moment in Tang Yu's smiling, warm face, a faint blush colored her ears. She shook her head lightly and then pointed to a dish of stewed lion's head meatballs on the table.
Nothing knows a daughter better than her mother.
Seeing her daughter's reaction, Jiang's mother couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Does this girl still dare to say she doesn't like Tang Yu?
Smiling, she said, "Tang, try the lion's head meatballs, Caixia made them."
"Sure! I'll try Jiang's food."
Tang Yu smiled as he picked up a meatball with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl.
"I want some too!"
Xie Jiujiu extended her chopsticks, but her hands were too short to reach them.
Tang Yu naturally picked up a meatball and handed it to her.
Xie Jiujiu flashed a big smile and said, "Thank you!"
Seeing Tang Yu serve food to Xie Jiujiu,
Jiang Caixia lightly bit her lip and sighed in her heart.
Suppressing her feeling of loss, she looked at Tang Yu again with a slight expectation in her eyes.
"Oh! Jiang's food is really good, it's improved a lot compared to the meatballs you brought last week."
Tang Yu smiled and complimented her after tasting a bite.
Jiang Caixia's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.
She didn't expect Tang Yu to remember those details so well.
In that instant, all the sadness in her heart disappeared, and the feeling of being recognized filled her with joy.
After the meal, Jiang Caixia began to clear the dishes.
"Jiang, I'll help you."
Xie Jiujiu, with a satisfied sigh, followed her to help.
Seeing the team leader helping her, Jiang Caixia felt a little guilty in her heart.
While eating, she had felt jealous seeing how close the team leader was with Tang Yu.
After hesitating for a moment, she leaned close to Xie Jiujiu's ear and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"Sorry?"
Xie Jiujiu tilted her head, mimicking her, and replied, "It's normal to help clear up, why apologize? We're good sisters."
Jiang Caixia showed a faint smile. She nodded softly and then followed Xie Jiujiu to the kitchen to clean.
Meanwhile, Jiang's mother didn't go to help in the kitchen.
She liked cooking, but hated washing the dishes and cleaning.
At home, she used to leave that task to Jiang's father.
Today, since Jiang's father was traveling, it fell to Jiang Caixia to take care of it.
Seeing her daughter and Xie Jiujiu busy in the kitchen,
she smiled with satisfaction and massaged her sore shoulders.
Because of her large bust, her shoulders were constantly in pain.
"Aunt, do your shoulders hurt? Do you want me to give you a massage?"
Tang Yu, sitting on the sofa, felt a little uncomfortable.
Xie Jiujiu had already gone to help in the kitchen, and he couldn't just sit there like a big lord.
"Sure! I asked Caixia to give me a massage earlier, but she has little strength and I didn't feel anything."
Jiang's mother accepted with a smile.
Well, she thought, having her future son-in-law pamper her a little as her daughter's mother-in-law wasn't too bad.
Tang Yu stood behind the sofa, placed his hands on Jiang's mother's shoulders, and began to massage them with standard traditional Chinese medicine movements.
"Ohhh~~~"
Upon feeling her sore shoulder suddenly relax, an indescribably pleasant sensation made her unintentionally moan.
Tang Yu felt a slight twitch at the corner of his lips and quickly asked:
"Did I press too hard?"
"No, no, the pressure is fine. Just adjust the rhythm a little, nine strong presses and one light."
Jiang's mother completely relaxed on the sofa, occasionally moaning in pleasure.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Jiang Caixia and Xie Jiujiu exchanged glances several times.
Finally, they couldn't help but peek with strange faces to see what was happening outside.
Realizing that their minds had misinterpreted the situation, they both acted as if nothing had happened.
Like a true gentleman,
Tang Yu wouldn't be swayed by the moans of a beautiful woman.
After ten minutes of massaging, Tang Yu stopped and said:
"It should be enough. Massaging too much can damage the shoulders."
Jiang's mother moved her light and relaxed shoulders with surprise and exclaimed:
"Tang, you have great talent! Even better than the masseuses at the traditional medicine center."
"It's nothing special, I just learned a little."
Tang Yu smiled.
"Thank you."
Jiang's mother suddenly thanked him.
Tang Yu was about to respond when she continued:
"I'm not thanking you for the massage, but for helping Caixia with her work."
"She has the same character as her father. You know, since she was a child, she never had many friends."
"Since she joined the company and met you all, she's become much more open."
Because of her personality, her daughter suffered a lot as a child.
In human society, someone who doesn't fit in easily is the first to be excluded.
There didn't even need to be a reason.
Jiang Caixia was too beautiful and too lonely. Many people saw her as a strange phenomenon.
The girls rejected her, thinking she was pretending to be a "cold goddess," and intentionally isolated her.
The boys weren't any better. Some obsessive admirers harassed her, which only made her feel more uncomfortable.
Over time, her personality became more extreme and her isolation, greater.
Until she started working and met Tang Yu and Xie Jiujiu.
Jiang's mother noticed the change in her daughter.
Now, when she came home from work, she would talk about what happened at the office and her colleagues.
At night, she played video games with them, sometimes until late.
These changes made her feel relieved and happy, which is why she insisted on inviting them to dinner.
"Aunt, don't worry. Jiang is a great person, we like her a lot."
Tang Yu smiled.
"But what kind of liking are we talking about? If it's in that sense, I support it. We don't ask for a dowry, and we'll give her the best dowry we can."
Jiang's mother winked at him enthusiastically.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Caixia, who had just come out of the kitchen, immediately ran over, covered her mother's mouth with her hand, her face completely red, and looked at Tang Yu nervously.
