Chapter 139 - 139

Chapter 139 Confessing to DatingYun Ting didn't take this to heart. They were just clowns. If they dared to show up in front of her again, she would make them regret it.Mother Yun knew that Old Woman Ma's character; she would definitely smear her daughter afterwards. She had to spread rumors about her shameful behavior before that happened. Humph…After lunch, Mother Yun hurriedly went out."Mom, where are you going? Aren't you going to rest for a while?"Mother Yun waved her hand, "I'll be back in a bit."She went out and told a few of her close friends what had happened. They were all indignant and said that if anyone spread rumors, they would definitely help them explain and fight back.Mother Yun's actions ensured that before Old Woman Ma could even begin to smear and spread rumors about Yun Ting, Family Compound had already spread rumors aboutOld Woman Ma and her nephew's shameless behavior of trying to eat swan meat like a toad." How can Old Woman Ma be so shameless? With her nephew's looks, how could he be worthy of Yun Ting?""Ha...that person thinks their nephew is some kind of hot commodity, they're so arrogant, humph..."The woman scoffed, saying that she had only known that Old Woman Ma's nephew was a junior officer and didn't have a girlfriend, so she thought she would mention it to Old Woman Maand let her daughter meet him. But as soon as she mentioned it, Old Woman Ma berated her daughter, saying she was not good enough for her nephew, which made her very angry.Mother Yun got the result she wanted and then went back to work satisfied."Daughter, if you encounter any rude people when you go out, don't be afraid, just confront them directly. If that doesn't work, come back and tell Mom. I'll go to their house and yell at them for three days and three nights without stopping." Mother Yun instructed her daughter."Alright, is it really that exaggerated? Won't you tire yourself out?" Father Yun said, both amused and exasperated."Mom, don't worry! I won't let anyone bully me.""I'll protect my aunt..." The little girl's innocent words made everyone laugh."Oh my! Little girl, you're such a good girl. Your aunt has really spoiled you."It wasn't a big deal; people talked about it for a few days and then it was over.Mother Yun also took the opportunity to reveal that her daughter has no plans to date or get married for the time being, as she is focusing on her studies. This put some people's minds at ease.That evening, Mother Yun still had a private chat with her daughter."My dear daughter! Let me tell you, if you're dating someone outside, you have to keep your eyes open and not get fooled. If you really want to date someone, let me be the one to check things out for you first."Yun Ting felt a pang of guilt; wasn't she already dating him?Mother Yun noticed something was wrong when she saw her daughter's expression.With a sharp gaze, he stared intently. "Are you already in a relationship?""Mom, we are indeed dating, but it hasn't been long. He works at Capital City and is a comrade of my second brother. He's a nice guy, but we're just trying it out for now. If it doesn't work out, we'll break up. Anyway, I don't plan to get married before I graduate.""Your brother set you up?""No, I knew him when we were working in the countryside. I didn't know he knew my second brother back then!"What's the other family like? How many siblings do they have?"Mom, are you checking the household registration? It hasn't come to that yet."Mother Yun patted her on the shoulder and said, "You silly girl, if you're going to be in a relationship, be serious about it. Don't be so irresponsible by always thinking about breaking up later.""Okay, okay..."Yun Ting was caught and "interrogated" for quite a while before being allowed to go to sleep.Mother Yun returned to her room, where Father Yun was already asleep, but she woke him up again." Old Yun …""Hmm... Go to sleep! You have work tomorrow!""My daughter is dating someone... I'm not sure what to do with her.""Hmm..." Father Yun didn't hear him at all, he was fast asleep."Ugh...sleep, sleep, all you do is sleep." Mother Yun patted Father Yun twice in exasperation, but failed to wake him up, so she gave up.That day, Yun Ting was drawing with Little Girlinside the house when someone called her from outside." Ting Ting, are you home?"As soon as Yun Ting went out, she saw Li Wanting and greeted him with a smile, inviting him into the house."Hey little girl, what brings you here?""Haha... Gossip is rampant! I've heard that someone came to your door to propose marriage?""Hey, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. It's gotten to your place already?"Yun Ting made her a cup of sweet soup, shaking her head helplessly."There's nothing we can do. You siblings are celebrities in this area now. Everyone praises youwhen you're mentioned as a 'yun family '.""Alright, stop flattering me. Tell me how you're doing at school?"" Hey Peking University student, tell me aboutPeking University! Is it like the pictures? Are there really stone lions at the entrance?""There are stone lions, but they are smaller than I imagined."Are there many wealthy people in Capital City?"We're all just human, nothing special.""Let me tell you, there's someone in our department who's really annoying. He's always going against me... I wish I could beat him to death.""A man? What did he do to you?" Yun Tingraised an eyebrow at her."Last time the department put on a bulletin board, my article was praised by the teacher, but he still had to nitpick, saying that I used punctuation incorrectly, and he even changed my little red flower drawing crookedly!" Li Wantingsaid, getting more and more agitated. "Once, when I went to the cafeteria to get food, I was clearly at the front of the line, but he insisted that I 'cut in line,' making me wait for ten minutes longer, and in the end, there were no sweet potatoes left!""And last time I had a cold, he gave me a packet of ginger candy, but said that my constant coughing was making it impossible for me to study! Can you believe it?""Anyway, there's a lot more. They're always watching me and picking on my mistakes. Can you believe how annoying some men are?"Yun Ting couldn't help but laugh out loud, pointing at Li Wanting's flushed face: "Why don't you think about other possibilities? If he really disliked you, why would he keep an eye on you every day? Could it be that he has feelings for you?"Li Wanting's eyes widened: "He's staring at me to find fault with me! Don't talk nonsense!""Tsk tsk... Okay, I won't talk nonsense." Yun Ting's lips curled up. Little girl is thin-skinned, and she'll explode if she says a few more words.The two girls chatted away, recounting interesting things that happened to them at school. Time flew by, and it wasn't until almost lunchtime that Li Wanting hurriedly decided to go home."What's the rush? Stay for dinner! I made liangpi (cold skin noodles) today, you can try some."What is liangpi (cold skin noodles)?"You haven't eaten here before, have you? Then don't rush off. Our family won't miss your meal.""That would be so embarrassing!""It's okay, you know all my family members anyway. You stay and read a picture book with Little Girl for a while, I'll go do my thing."She had already prepared everything in the morning; now she just needed to steam the dough, which wasn't difficult.Yun Ting poured the paste-like batter into an oiled copper gong, steamed it in a boiling pot, and soon peeled off a translucent sheet of dough. She prepared enough for the whole family, and if that wasn't enough, there were also steamed buns made from two different types of flour that morning.Besides cold noodles, I also made scrambled eggs with tomatoes and braised pork. Li Wanting brought a piece of meat weighing about two pounds with him.While Yun Ting was still busy in the kitchen,Mother Yun and the others came home from work one after another. Hearing Li Wantinggreeting her parents outside, they quickened their pace.
