Chapter 132: Two Moms

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

Tang Xi felt refreshed after the classes in the morning. She found that she felt really energetic around these young children. Although they had some small intrigues and quarrels, they were all innocuous and she didn’t mind at all.

At this time, a boy who had just stepped out of the classroom turned back and shouted at Tang Xi, “Xiao Rou, your mom brought you lunch!”

Tang Xi looked towards the door of the classroom, only to see Yang Jingxian come over with a thermal lunch box in her hand. Tang Xi’s eyes immediately lit up. She stood up and walked towards Yang Jingxian under the envious stares of her classmates, asking, “Mom, why are you here?”

“I’m here to deliver the soup I made for you. You’ve just recovered and can’t just casually eat lunch in the school. Let’s go to the school trustee’s office. Jing has an office here. You can go there for lunch.” She walked out, carrying a thermal lunch box in one hand and holding Tang Xi’s hand with the other.

Tang Xi walked to the school trustee’s office under the envious gazes of the other students.

The students of this school were all from rich or powerful families. Although they lived a good life, most of their parents seldom stayed at home, let alone tutoring their children with their homework or making a decent lunch for their children by hand and delivering it personally to the school.

Tang Xi could feel the same envious glances from other classmates along the way. She whispered to Yang Jingxian with a bit embarrassment, “Mom, you don’t have to specially come here to send me the lunch. Our school provides a nutritious lunch. It’s too troublesome for you to bring me lunch here.”

Yang Jingxian intimately touched the tip of Tang Xi’s nose and replied, “It’s no trouble for me. Bringing you lunch is the happiest thing I have ever done. I wanted to bring lunch to your brothers, but they didn’t want me to do it. I feel so bored at home alone. Didn’t you want to see me, Rourou?”

“Of course I wanted to see you, Mom…”

“Xiao Rou…” A girl ran up and pointed in the direction of the school gate, shouting at her. “A woman claiming to be your mom brought you lunch and now she’s at the school gate…” Looking at Yang Jingxian, she smiled awkwardly and finished, “Well, maybe I got it wrong.”

Tang Xi looked at Yang Jingxian, who gave her a smile in response and said mildly, “It’s probably your biological mom. Let her in. Since she brought lunch here, it’d be rude to ask her to take it back.” She then paused before continuing, “She has never brought that woman lunch personally before.”

Tang Xi fell into thought for a while as she gazed at Yang Jingxian and then said, “Then let’s go to see her.”

At the school gate, when Lin Ru saw Yang Jingxian, a glimmer of surprise flashed through her eyes. She smiled at her before turning her eyes to Tang Xi, smiling a bit awkwardly and saying in a somewhat ingratiating tone, “Rourou, this is the angelica chicken soup I made for you. I planned on bringing it to your home, but you weren’t there, so I brought it here to try my luck.” She turned her eyes to Yang Jingxian and then to the thermal lunch box in her hand. “I didn’t expect you came here too.”

Yang Jingxian smiled and said, “Rourou is still weak, but she insisted on coming to class so I brought her lunch here.” Then she added, “I made her beef bone soup and some fried dishes instead of angelica chicken soup. Let’s go to the office first.”

Seeing that Yang Jingxian was here, Lin Ru had planned on leaving after handing the soup she made to Xiao Rou, but upon hearing Yang Jingxian asking her to go in for lunch with Xiao Rou, her eyes immediately lit up. She hurriedly nodded and replied, “Okay, I happen to be free this afternoon.”

Tang Xi looked at Lin Ru and thanked her in a soft voice.

Although Tang Xi was just being polite, Lin Ru burst into tears when she heard Tang Xi thank her. Her eyes were red as she nodded and said, “Good girl. This is what I should do for you.”

Yang Jingxian took a look at Lin Ru, while Tang Xi smiled awkwardly and walked beside Yang Jingxian.

She was not the real Xiao Rou, so she didn’t know what the real Xiao Rou would have done in this kind of situation. She was Tang Xi and she was closer to Yang Jingxian from the start, so she didn’t know how to deal with the situation. When the three of them reached Xiao Jing’s office, Lin Ru took the initiative to seek a topic to talk. “Xiao Jing is really an excellent young man. He’s not only a major shareholder of Qiao’s International Group, but he’s also a trustee to the First High School of City A at such a young age. Therefore, we don’t need to worry about Rourou since she studies in this school.”

Yang Jingxian chuckled and said, “Rourou is able to study here because of her own ability.”

They served the meals for Tang Xi while talking. Both of them had brought a bowl of soup and several other dishes, so there were eight or nine dishes in total. Tang Xi looked at the food on the table, then at her two moms sitting on the sofa, and said with a smile, “I can’t eat so much. Why don’t you two eat with me?”

Lin Ru paused… Could she eat with Rourou?

It was actually her first time having a meal with the latter.

Oh, why did she suddenly feel like crying?

Yang Jingxian looked at the dishes on the table, smiled and nodded in agreement. “Okay.”

Yang Jingxian had brought her a fork, a spoon and a pair of chopsticks, and so did Lin Ru. Tang Xi tore open the package of the tableware Yang Jingxian brought, handed the chopsticks to her and took the spoon. Then she looked at Lin Ru, who also took out the chopsticks out of the tableware she had brought. Tang Xi smiled and said, “Well, let’s get started.”

Tang Xi divided her meal into two parts and gave one to Yang Jingxian, while Lin Ru gave Tang Xi some of the food in her lunch box. Tang Xi looked at Lin Ru, thanked her and began to eat.

Having this meal with two moms, Tang Xi felt somewhat embarrassed but felt warm at the same time. Every time Yang Jingxian ate some, she picked up food for Tang Xi with her chopsticks, fearing Tang Xi couldn’t pick up food conveniently with the spoon, while Lin Ru shed tears as she ate. It turned out that it felt so sweet to have dinner with her daughter. She sobbed as Yang Jingxian picked up a piece of pork liver with her chopsticks, put it into Lin Ru’s box and whispered, “This is a happy thing. Ah Ru, please don’t cry. Rourou is looking at you.”

Lin Ru hastily raised her hand to wipe her tears and apologized to Tang Xi. Tang Xi smiled and said, “Take your time. Thank you for sending me lunch, but please don’t do this tomorrow.”

“No. You haven’t fully recovered and it’s not healthy to eat the fast food provided by the school,” said the two moms almost simultaneously.

They stopped and exchanged looks. At this point, Yang Jingxian felt that her sister-in-law was not so annoying as before.

Lin Ru also found that her sister-in-law was not as arrogant as she had thought. In fact, she was quite easy to get along with.

Tang Xi smiled. “Okay, you can bring me lunch if you’d like.”
