Chapter 187: Jinyi Is Going to Cry

Xu Mingzhen had to change her daughter’s clothes. There was no way she was going to let the men stay in the room.

“Mom, it’s been some time since we saw her,” Tan Jinyi tried to argue with his mother.

“And you can talk to her tomorrow as much as you want!” Xu Mingzhen scolded him. “Now, get out!”

Tan Wenci noticed why his wife was chasing them out. He quickly dragged Wei Zhiqian with his left hand and Tan Jinsheng with his right hand, while kicking Tan Jinyi with his foot. “Come on. Let’s go.”

It was as if Tan Wenci was a shepherd trying to move his sheep back into the barn.

After closing the door, Xu Mingzhen turned around and saw Tan Mo sitting up with a puzzled expression.

“Mommy!” The moment she saw her mother, she opened her arms to get a hug.

With Tan Mo continuing to grow up over the past few years, she stopped letting her three brothers and Wei Zhiqian hug her, but not her parents.

However, it seemed like Tan Mo was even more clingy when she was drunk.

She had always been clingy with her parents, but today it was even worse. She was clinging to her mother like a baby koala.

Xu Mingzhen hugged her daughter and caressed the young girl’s hair. “Seriously, how did you get so drunk with just half a glass of beer? Look at how red your cheeks are. I’m going to get you your pajamas. Can you change into them on your own?” she gently asked.

Tan Mo rested her head on her mother’s belly instead. She could smell the scent from her mother that she had always liked ever since she was a child.

Whenever she smelled the sweet scent of her mother, she would feel safe and happy. It was as if the aroma could temporarily shield her from any worries.

“Yes…” Tan Mo nodded as she rubbed her head on Xu Mingzhen’s belly.

However, being hugged by her daughter like this made the mother not want to let go even for a second. She didn’t even want to turn around, but to continue to enjoy her daughter’s hug.

Xu Mingzhen let Tan Mo continue to hug her until the latter was almost asleep. Then she had no choice but to pull Tan Mo’s arms away from her waist and say, “I’ll go get your pajamas.”

Tan Mo released her and proceeded to take a sniff of herself. She could instantly tell that the heavy reek from the buttery hotpot had followed her home.

“I want to take a shower first,” Tan Mo said in a soft tone.

“Can you shower on your own?” Xu Mingzhen asked.

“Of course,” Tan Mo nodded and got up. “See, I can walk in a straight line already.”

Xu Mingzhen turned to look. Her daughter was indeed walking in a straight line.

“All right.” Xu Mingzhen laughed. “Call me if you need anything.”

Tan Mo nodded and did her best to walk in a straight line into the bathroom.

It didn’t take long for Xu Mingzhen to hear the shower being turned on.

About half an hour passed, and Tan Mo came out of the bathroom in her pajamas.

Her hair was still dripping wet, but she had wrapped it up into a towel.

Xu Mingzhen pulled her daughter over to the dressing table and sat her down in front of it.

She then went into the bathroom and got the hairdryer to help dry Tan Mo’s hair.

Since the sound from the hairdryer was very loud, Tan Mo decided to talk to her mother once her hair had dried.

Fortunately, the hairdryer dried her hair in just a couple of minutes.

Xu Mingzhen then set the hairdryer down and started to comb her hair.

It was something she would always do for her daughter a few years back.

Now that Tan Mo was all grown up, she rarely had the chance to do this anymore.

As she combed Tan Mo’s hair, she couldn’t help but remember how little Tan Mo would also sit in the same spot so that she could do the same thing.

It had been too long since the mother had last helped the daughter straighten her hair.

Especially now that Tan Mo was a college student, it was rare for the two of them to meet more than once a month.

Xu Mingzhen couldn’t help but let out a sigh as the older her daughter got, the less clingy she became.

“That’s right,” Tan Mo said as she slightly tilted her head up and saw her mother’s gentle expression. “We won first place in the Ancient Text Competition today.”

“I know. Even though we couldn’t be there, we still watched the live stream.” Xu Mingzhen smiled as she continued to comb.

The mother noticed that instead of saying I, Tan Mo had used the word we.

Although she was the only Beijing University contestant to go up on the stage, Tan Mo still considered the victory as a team effort, an honor that belonged to the whole team.

It made her mother proud.

No matter how successful Tan Mo became, she never abandoned her conscience and would never get arrogant. It was something that not many people could do, especially considering the fact that Tan Mo was just a 15-year-old girl.

“Your dad even pushed all his meetings back so that he could watch the competition in his office. Jinyi and Jinsheng watched the whole thing at their school. Even Jinqi used his breaks to watch as much as he could.”

Tan Mo was completely touched and smiled. “I should tell big brother to focus on his work first. He shouldn’t get distracted or else the others might blame him.”

“You do that.” Xu Mingzhen laughed. “Your big brother only listens to you.”

Tan Mo then recalled her conversation with President Mu that day and turned around. “Oh, right. Because we’ve won the competition, our President asked if there was anything I wanted as long as it was within reason. I asked if he could help find instructors for brothers Jinyi and Jinsheng. I’m pretty sure he can help find some famous people to help them, since even Professor Zhao was able to introduce Director Hou to big brother. President Mu agreed to my request and already has a list of people in his head. We just have to wait for him to contact them and see if brother Jinyi and Jinsheng are happy with the list or not. If they are, he can set them up immediately.”

“Of course, they will be happy with it. President Mu will definitely find the best for them.” Xu Mingzhen smiled warmly. “It would make us look bad if we rejected his list, right?”

“Of course not. Brother Jinyi and Jinsheng deserve the best instructors out there. There’s no need to ask for the President’s help if we are just going to find some normal instructors.” In Tan Mo’s eyes, her brothers were the best in their fields. “But, since President Mu isn’t sure the famous people he knows have the time, we’ll have to wait.”

“I see.” Xu Mingzhen smiled. “I’m sure Jinyi is going to cry when he learns of this.”

When Tan Mo introduced Director Hou to Tan Jinqi, all three of her brothers were already embarrassed because it felt as if they were troubling her all the time.

Even though they were her older brothers, she was always the one who was worried about them.

If Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi learned that Tan Mo was going to introduce them to a famous producer and an artist, they would probably have a meltdown.
