Lian Qingyang clenched his lips tightly, his dark eyes full of disappointment and forbearance.
Lian Qingyang took a deep breath, suppressing all the emotions in his heart, and said, "Mom, I’m just too busy."
"Being busy is an excuse for treating your mom, who came all the way to see you, like this?" Xiang Yazhi saw Lian Qingyang showing weakness and held herself in high regard, saying, "Qingyang, I’ll take you out for Western food tonight. It’ll be a good opportunity for just the two of us to spend some time together."
"Mom, I’m sorry, but I don’t have the time. The computer store is about to open, and there are still so many things to prepare." Lian Qingyang refused. He lowered his eyes and didn’t say that what he least liked was Western food; he preferred Chinese cuisine, Huaxia dishes.
"Don’t you have employees? You hired so many employees, shouldn’t they be doing the work? Do you, as the boss, have to do everything yourself?" Xiang Yazhi looked dissatisfiedly at Lian Qingyang and said, "Qingyang, I’m in Sea City dealing with plenty of business too. The Xiang Family’s business is also facing difficulties, but Mom still made time to come and see you. Qingyang, it’s been two days since I arrived, and you don’t even have time for a meal?"
"Mom, I really don’t have time." Lian Qingyang firmly refused.
Each sentence Xiang Yazhi spoke was a challenge to Lian Qingyang’s limits of endurance. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Regarding the Xiang Family’s business, Xiang Yazhi would visit two or three times a month at most. As for her claim of being here for two days, Lian Qingyang did not want to mention how many things Xiang Yazhi had delayed; after all, she was his mother.
Endure.
Lian Qingyang turned around and dove back into his busy work. The location for the store was beside a house on Southwest Road. He had rented one floor; it was close to where he originally worked, and being street-facing, it had a decent flow of passersby. The interior of the house had been renovated - simple, bright, and stylish.
But there were still details that Lian Qingyang needed to finalize.
"Lian Qingyang," Xiang Yazhi couldn’t help but call out his name loudly. She saw many people were here, and with a shout, she sent all the employees out.
"Mom."
Lian Qingyang couldn’t help but say, "Are you here to see me, or do you begrudge my success? Do you want to ruin my business?"
Those employees were hardworking and diligent day-to-day, but now they were scolded by Xiang Yazhi without reason, making Lian Qingyang feel even worse than if he had been scolded himself.
"What, are you going to talk back to me for the sake of those people?" Xiang Yazhi glared angrily and looked at Lian Qingyang’s face, cursing in her heart: An ungrateful wretch, nothing but an ungrateful wretch.
"I am your mother. I’ve traveled thousands of miles to see you, and this is how you treat me? I think your conscience has been eaten by a dog." Xiang Yazhi accused Lian Qingyang, "Busy, busy, busy, what is there for you to be busy with? A lousy gaming company can’t hold a candle to the Lian Family’s business; why are you so devoted to it?"
Lian Qingyang took a deep breath, looking at Xiang Yazhi with a face full of disappointment, his gaze filled with disdain and contempt.
"All these years, the things you bought me, you just took me to stores and then had the clerks fit me."
"Later, when I grew up, don’t you know that I now wear shoes one size larger? And the suits you sent, they are all black or gray, do I look like I’m Dad’s age?"
"Also, I’m allergic to durian, Mom. All these years have passed, and you can never remember."
