Mrs. Huo is a Crybaby

Chapter 1098: ‘Playing’ At Home

Translator: Yunyi

Mrs. Tang muttered to herself in fear, “No, we should go to the hospital tomorrow for a full body check-up. Otherwise, I won’t be at ease!”

Tang Xinrou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry from her reaction. She was initially surprised, but when she remembered that Song Yaoyao had discovered it long ago and had specifically asked her to remind Leng Xuanming, Tang Xinrou felt relieved.

She said helplessly, “Mom, do you think that the tonics that Yaoyao gave are just for fun? A check-up is something that can be done once a year. Didn’t our whole family just do it last month? Even if you don’t believe in yourself, you should believe in Yaoyao, right?”

When she said this, Mrs. Tang suddenly came back to her senses.

She patted her forehead. “Oh right, we have Yaoyao. Eh, it’s easy to be frightened when you’re old.” Seeing Tang Xinrou, Mrs. Tang also remembered something, “Oh right, I heard from your Auntie Leng that you reminded Xuanming to go for a checkup yesterday. Yaoyao told you, right?”

“Yeah.” Tang Xinrou didn’t hide anything and told her everything that happened yesterday.

“I merely mentioned it. Seeing that he obviously didn’t believe me, I was too lazy to say anything. I originally thought that if he was willing to go, then he would go. If he didn’t want to go, then he would regret it later. That was his fate. But I didn’t expect that he would discover a problem so quickly.”

And it was so serious.

“He’s considered lucky to have met Yaoyao. How dare he look down on her! I’m not boasting, but who wouldn’t want a treasure like Yaoyao?” Mrs. Tang heard Tang Xinrou’s words and was also a little dissatisfied with Leng Xuanming. “If Yaoyao was my daughter, I’d wake up laughing!”

Even if Song Yaoyao wasn’t so knowledgeable, Mrs. Tang liked her very much because of her obedient and sensible appearance.

Tang Xinrou looked at Mrs. Tang sourly, “Yes, yes, yes. Who doesn’t know that you like Yaoyao the most?”

“You little brat. No matter how much I like her, it doesn’t mean that she’s definitely willing to be my daughter!” She wasn’t that lucky.

The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, leaning against each other and whispering.

That night, Leng Xuanming was admitted to the hospital and started receiving treatment.

…

In September, the weather was still hot. Song Yaoyao started another semester of university.

“Yaoyao!”

“Yaoyao, I’ve missed you so much!”

“Long time no see.”

After not coming to the campus for two months, Song Yaoyao realized that she had missed it. By this time, she had already finished the first draft of her new script and the studio had hired a few directors. Yun Shuihan’s time-travel drama was handed over to a new director.

Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen waved excitedly and jogged to Song Yaoyao’s side.

“Yaoyao, what did you do during your two-month holiday?”

“I was at home.”

“Oh?” Ye Meichen looked at Song Yaoyao in disbelief. “Didn’t you go out to play? You had a two-month holiday!”

“It was too hot, I didn’t want to play.”

Song Yaoyao carried a school bag on her back, lowered the brim of her hat, and walked lazily. “What about you guys?”

“The two of US went on a date during the summer vacation. We went to the canyon to play for a few days, and then we went to the ancient city for a week,” Wang Jiayu said.

Song Yaoyao realized that other than herself, everyone else’s summer vacation life seemed to be quite rich.

Tang Xinrou took several endorsements and even went to variety shows. Yu Sitian and Song Weiwei weren’t idle either. Now, the three of them were pretty popular in the entertainment industry.

“You’re too much of a homebody!” Ye Meichen originally thought that Song Yaoyao would have gone abroad during the summer vacation. Unlike poor people like them who could just travel domestically. However, when uni restarted, she found out that Song Yaoyao didn’t go anywhere. “Really? I think I saw you participate in Dazzling You, but you disappeared. And you haven’t updated your Weibo in a while.”

“Ahhh…”

Song Yaoyao realized what was going on and smacked her lips. “I forgot.” She didn’t sound guilty at all.

Wang Jiayu rolled her eyes. “Do you know that your fans are waiting for you to update your Weibo every day? It’s been way too long.”

“Tell me honestly, did you really not go out to play?”

Song Yaoyao spread her hands and said, “Does it count to play at home?”

Thinking about it carefully, Huo Manor was big with mountains as a backdrop. It was beautiful all year round with mist lingering around it, but the scenery inside was even better. When Song Yaoyao got engaged last time, they had been there once, however, they didn’t get the chance to see the entire manor.

Regardless, just the tip of the iceberg was enough to make people feel that there must be more beauty hidden in places that they couldn’t see.

“I guess.”

Compared to Ye Meichen’s answer, Wang Jiayu’s thoughts were a little more evil and dirty. She smiled and Winked at Song Yaoyao, hinting at something. “What kind of ‘playing’ did you do at home? Huh?”

Song Yaoyao: “…”

“If I had a fiancé like yours, I would also like to play at home every day. No matter how beautiful the scenery outside is, and no matter how fun something is, can it compare to a handsome man?”

“Eh?”

It took Ye Meichen a long time to come back to her senses. She rubbed her arms and rolled her eyes in disgust. “You’re so perverted.”

“That’s the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Yaoyao.” Wang Jiayu winked. “Right, Yaoyao?”

Song Yaoyao: “Yeah.”

“Woah!”

Wang Jiayu and Ye Meichen immediately screamed.

Song Yaoyao actually admitted it! She actually admitted it!

Oh no, an image formed in her mind.

After reporting to the university, the three of them walked towards the dormitory building together.

Suddenly, a boy wearing glasses and an old man’s shirt that looked like it was from the 1980s stumbled over with something in his arms.

“Hey, who are you?” Wang Jiayu blocked him and narrowed his eyes.

“Hello, Director Song! M-my name is Xu Dongqing. Would you please take a look at my work?”

He didn’t dare to look at Song Yaoyao’s eyes as he pushed the frame of his glasses cautiously and carefully handed a stack of bound paper to Song Yaoyao.

The clothes on his body were very old. His jeans had been washed until they were white, but it was noticeable that, although they were old, they were very clean; from his clothes to his shoes to his hair.

“Yaoyao?” Wang Jiayu took them. There was nothing written on the outside.

“Give it to me.”

Song Yaoyao did not open it immediately. Instead, she was curious. “This is a script that you wrote?”

Xu Dongqing was so nervous that he was sweating. He nodded like he was pounding garlic. “Yes, yes.”

“My studio isn’t accepting script submissions yet. Why didn’t you take this to one of those big companies?” She opened the first page and found many traces of revisions. “This is the original script?” Song Yaoyao was surprised.

Xu Dongqing smiled shyly. Only then did everyone realize that he wasn’t ugly and was rather delicate. “I trust you, Director Song.”

“Humans are the most untrustworthy creatures.” And the human heart was unpredictable.

Song Yaoyao smiled mysteriously. “If you’re willing, I’ll take the script with me. If you’re not, you can take it and leave.”

“I am willing, of course I am willing!” Xu Dong Qing said without hesitation.
