Chapter 164: Blacklisted by Ms. Tang! That Scumbag Is Too Much?

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Blacklisted by Ms. Tang! That Scumbag Is Too Much?

After the family of three finished dinner, they sat on the living room sofa, chatting casually.

Tang Wanfang and Yan Zhenbang were very happy today.

Because Yan Luoxi had been so wonderfully cooperative!

’Our little girl has really grown up!’

They couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.

"Mom, don’t go to the Binjiang No.1 Mansion District anymore,"

Yan Luoxi said, suddenly remembering something.

Tang Wanfang’s heart dropped at her daughter’s words.

’Did she find out I went looking for her today?’

’Did that playboy next door tell her?’

’Yes!’

In her mind, Tang Wanfang had already slapped labels like "womanizer" and "scumbag" on Gu Yizhou.

’He might be handsome and well-dressed, but he actually has two girlfriends!’

’Stay away from men like that!’

Yan Luoxi suddenly added, "I’m rarely there anyway."

Hearing this, Tang Wanfang peeked at her daughter and saw no trace of anger on her face.

She sighed in relief.

’As long as she’s not angry.’

’As long as she’s not angry, that’s all that matters!’

Tang Wanfang thought for a moment before explaining, "Um... Xixi, honey, when I went to find you today, I didn’t mean anything by it. I just couldn’t reach you and was a little worried. I..."

But before she could finish, Yan Luoxi cut her off. "Mm... Mom, I know."

"Uh..."

Seeing this, Tang Wanfang dropped the subject.

She thought for a moment, then asked tentatively in a low voice, "Xixi, honey... I heard... you really have a boyfriend?"

Hearing this, Yan Zhenbang, who was sitting beside them, stared wide-eyed. He pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and shot a look at his wife.

’Wow... "Ms. Tang" is feeling brave today, huh?’

’Didn’t this same topic end in a huge fight last time?’

’How does she have the nerve to bring it up again?’

Yan Luoxi froze for a second when she heard her mother’s question.

At first, Yan Luoxi was silent.

Seeing this, Tang Wanfang worried she’d made her angry and quickly said, "I don’t mean anything by it, I just wanted to know..."

"No."

Yan Luoxi said.

"Uh..."

The words caught in Tang Wanfang’s throat.

Just when she was at a loss for words, Yan Luoxi spoke again. "But I’m planning to."

"Huh?"

Tang Wanfang couldn’t process that for a second.

Then she heard Yan Luoxi continue, "I like someone, and I plan on pursuing him."

She was only saying it because she knew she couldn’t hide it anymore. Besides, she’d already thought it through.

’She’d really fallen for that jerk.’

’She couldn’t stand the thought of watching that jerk be with other women.’

’And as she’d gotten to know that jerk better lately, she realized she didn’t dislike him at all.’

’She had never been in love before, but all things considered, she was certain she had genuinely fallen for that jerk.’

"?????"

Tang Wanfang stared, wide-eyed.

Yan Zhenbang was the same. He stared at his daughter, his face a mask of utter disbelief.

’No way!’

’Did my daughter just say she likes someone and is planning to *pursue* him?!’

"Xixi, honey, did you just say you like a boy and you’re planning to pursue him?"

Tang Wanfang asked uncertainly, having snapped out of her stupor.

"That’s right!"

Yan Luoxi looked at her mother and gave a serious nod.

"Well..."

Tang Wanfang was so shocked by the news that she was genuinely at a loss for words.

She instinctively glanced at her husband, as if to ask for his input, only to find he was taking it even worse than she was.

Shaking her head in resignation, she thought for a moment before asking, "Xixi, this boy... do we know him?"

Just then, Yan Zhenbang also recovered.

He looked at his daughter and chimed in, "That’s right, Xixi. What’s his family background? What’s his character like?"

"It’s too early to talk about that. I’ll tell you after I’ve won him over."

Yan Luoxi said calmly.

Yan Zhenbang’s brow furrowed at her words.

He said, somewhat displeased, "My daughter is the president of the Tidal Group. She’s so exceptional. I’m very curious what kind of man would require my daughter to be the one to chase him!"

"Exactly!"

"Xixi, your father’s right. What’s his name? Where is he from? Just tell us, and your dad and I will look into his character for you!"

"We don’t mind if his family background isn’t the best, but his character has to be impeccable!"

Tang Wanfang chimed in as well.

Yan Luoxi thought for a moment before saying, "His... character should be fine."

"’Should be?’"

Her words made Tang Wanfang and her husband frown even more deeply.

The couple exchanged a look, and then Tang Wanfang said, "Xixi! Character is not something you can be careless about!"

"It’s fine if he doesn’t have money, our family isn’t lacking in that department, but his character has to be good!"

"Some men might seem wonderful on the surface, but that’s just an act. Behind the scenes, they’re... something else entirely!"

Yan Luoxi’s expression remained neutral as she listened to her mother.

’In truth, she understood everything her mother was saying.’

"Xixi!"

"When you’re looking for a boyfriend, character has to be the top priority!"

When her daughter didn’t respond, Tang Wanfang continued, "Let me tell you... you know that young man who lives next door to you, in 305, right?"

"Hmm?"

At this, the motion of Yan Luoxi’s hands paused for a fraction of a second.

’That jerk?’

Yan Luoxi suddenly felt a pang of nervousness.

’Could it be? Does Mom approve of that jerk?’

She was eager to hear her mother’s opinion of him. If her mother also thought he was decent, she would probably be quite pleased when Luoxi eventually brought him home. So, she nodded and said, "Yes, I’ve seen him."

"Let me tell you, when I first saw that young man, I thought he was quite handsome and polite. He seemed very nice! But today, when I went looking for you, I found out he’s a total scumbag!"

"Did you know he’s involved with two different girls at the same time? And get this—the two of them even know about each other! Can you believe how ridiculous that is?"

"Xixi, honey, when you’re looking for a boyfriend, you absolutely cannot date someone like him. He’s a complete scumbag!"

"A man doesn’t have to be handsome, but his character must be solid!"

The more Tang Wanfang thought about the scene she’d witnessed that day, the angrier she became. She spoke through gritted teeth, "That boy is such a lowlife. A man like him is absolutely off-limits! If he were my son, I’d want to give him a couple of good, hard slaps right across the face!"

...

After hearing her mother’s tirade, Yan Luoxi was utterly speechless.

’He’s so screwed!’

’That jerk is so, so screwed!’

’That’s what you get for flirting with every girl you see!’

’You’ve officially made it onto my mom’s blacklist!’
