Chapter 111 - Who Isn’t an Actor? (1/2)

“Ms. Liang Qing is too much!”

Seeing Wu Tong was going to be her assistant, his head exploded instantly. This was such a mess! He made a phone call.

“Aiyoyo, are you holding a grudge? Mum didn’t tell you to go back but see, your sister told me anyways didn’t she?” The voice across the receiver was Liang Jing’s laughter.

I’m not talking about that!” said Meng Fan.

“Not this?” Liang Qing thought for a moment. “Then what?”

“Stop pretending! Let me ask you, where are you?”

“Hong Kong of course, for an art show. Oh right, you want me to bring you an action figure when I go back? Mum remembered for you!”

“That’s not what it’s called!”

“Oh, then what is it? You can’t make your mother bring you back a wife, right?” Ms.Liang Qing said very helplessly.

Meng Fan knew what kind of a person his mother was. It was no surprise that she participated in a global competition, but coincidentally finding Wu Tong to be her assistant? That’s too deliberate. Meng Fan didn’t believe that just because his mother graduated from the Chinese painting department at the academy of fine arts, she would take care of the descendants from the same program.

Although she had calmed down a lot in recent years, Liang Qing was still Liang Qing. Besides, Meng Fan remembered she had a large number of people in her own studio already. There was no reason for her to find someone else’s student to be her assistant and show her face at her exhibition.

Besides, both Qin Jiao and Meng Cai Wei had known of Wu Tong’s existence. Meng Fan didn’t believe that these two had said nothing to Ms. Liang Qing.

Therefore, even with his toes, he could think of why Ms. Liang Qing asked Wu Tong to be her assistant.

Only Liang Qing refused to admit this, and Meng Fan couldn’t go into more detail. He hadn’t even told them how he really felt about Wu Tong. If he admitted to them, who knew what the result would be!

Meng Fan was genuinely scared that Ms.Liang Qing was going to chew up Wu Tong!

“Ms. Liang Qing, we’ve already agreed. I have the freedom to love who I want, and you can’t interfere!”

He couldn’t muster anything else beyond this warning. If his mom knew he liked Wu Tong, she wouldn’t take it too far. At least, Wu Tong’s attitude would not change immediately after returning. Growing close then distant all of a sudden.

What if his mom didn’t know about him and Wu Tong, then… Okay, this what-if scenario didn’t exist.

Hearing Meng Fan’s words, Liang Qing began to laugh.

“Kid, your mother already brought out the words ‘wife’, and you’re still stubbornly resisting. Alright, let’s keep pretending, who isn’t an actor!”

Of course. To Meng Fan, Liang Qing was willing to die before she admitted anything, while to Liang Qing, Meng Fan was doing the same. She knew Meng Fan already knew about Wu Tong being her assistant. She just wanted to see what kind of attitude Meng Fan had towards Wu Tong.

It was logical to make Wu Tong her assistant. Wu Tong’s skills were present and belonged to those of a rising star in Chinese painting. If she could bring up a strong younger generation, nobody will see anything wrong with that. Even if Meng Fan continued to ask, she was invulnerable to his questioning. Besides, being pretty naturally attracted more attention. It was very reasonable for her to notice Wu Tong!

Although Liang Qing was unreliable, she still respected Meng Fan. Even if she had poached Wu Tong to be her assistant, she still treated her according to the procedure, not doing anything excessive. By getting along, she could see what kind of a person Wu Tong was.

Nobody could say for certain though about what difference was between Liang Jing’s idea of an excessive boundary, and a regular person’s idea of excessive boundaries.

“Freedom to love? Mom won’t interfere! Regardless if you like boys or girls, mom will support you! What, are you going to bring a boyfriend or a girlfriend back to meet me?”

“… Ms. Liang Qing, please contain yourself!”

Huffing, Meng Fan hung up the phone. He then looked at the message from Wu Tong and hesitated for a long time before deciding to keep the issue hidden.

How could he tell her? If he did, what would she think? Would she had mistaken that Meng Fan sent his mother to find her? If she had a bad reaction and thinks Meng Fan was a mama’s boy, then it was really over for him… But if this made her attitude towards him even better… That was not what Meng Fan wanted either.

He was conflicted and emotional!

Wouldn’t it have been perfect if he hadn’t seen her message?!

“I can finally open my phone! I dropped it in the water (Laugh cry emoji), I think I lost some messages, and I don’t think I can get them back. Did you say something?”
