My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 773

Tang Jing felt her heart sink.

She had been traveling back and forth between Livingsfill and Flower City for some time now. It wasn't easy for her to do that.

However, she didn't feel tired as her relationship with Feng Jialing gradually improved.

In fact, she assumed that Feng Jialing would side with her if she got into a fight with Ouyang Qi.

Nevertheless, Feng Jialing told her today that they would be moving out. She would also get her money back.

Tang Jing was initially thrilled, but her mood quickly changed as if someone had doused her with cold water. She was now a little distracted.

Feng Jialing is correct. My goal is to amass wealth and climb the social ladder. To achieve this, I have been scheming and working tirelessly. My strategy turned out successful as Ouyang Li landed in a difficult situation, thus allowing Ouyang Qi to demonstrate his abilities. However, Feng Jialing's words have rendered my efforts ineffective.

Tang Jing wasn't going to give up easily.

“Give me your account, and I'll ask someone to transfer the money to you. If you think it isn't enough, I can give you more money with one condition—stop contacting Ouyang Qi from now on,” Feng Jialing announced.

Hearing that, Tang Jing burst out laughing.

“Why did you laugh?” Obviously, Feng Jialing didn't like hearing her laugh.

“Mrs. Ouyang, are you kicking me out?”

“Of course not. This is your house, and I have no right to kick you out. Ouyang Qi and I are going to move out, so you'll still be staying here.”

“So you're asking me to leave Ouyang Qi. You believe that I want more and that this would be best for him. Is that correct?”

“Yes.” Feng Jialing didn't bother keeping her thoughts a secret.

“I acknowledge that I have my own reasons for being kind to him. Nonetheless, can one truly find unconditional love in the world? I'm not so sure about that. People generally have an agenda when they are good to someone else. You may care deeply for Ouyang Qi because he is your son, but you can't deny that you don't expect something in return. Don't you hope he will be a devoted child who can take care of you in your old age? That would be an example of expecting something in return.”

“What do you mean?” Feng Jialing asked coldly.

“People generally expect something in return when they put in their efforts, be it mentally, emotionally, or something else. Therefore, I do not believe it is wrong for me to expect something from Ouyang Qi. I have put in my effort, but I do not have the right to dictate how much he should give back to me or ask for anything in return. I am disappointed that you have chosen to interfere in our relationship. I took care of him and gave him confidence when he was going through difficult times, and now that he is doing better, you want me to leave him. Why is that?”

When Tang Jing finally finished talking, the smile on her face was long gone.

Feng Jialing was shocked by the revelation, but her shock quickly transformed into rage. “Why? I gave birth to him and raised him, so of course I get to tell him how to live his life. I knew you had an ulterior motive for befriending my son. Now it's clear that I was right. If you feel three million is not enough, I can add on two million to make it five million. Is that enough for you?” she roared in fury.

“No, I don't want your money...”

Right then, the doorbell rang. Ouyang Qi was back.

Tang Jing quickly put on a smile. “Welcome home. You can go wash your hands as dinner is ready.”

Ouyang Qi looked at the spread on the dining table and exclaimed in surprise, “This is a lot! I can tell these are Mom's favorite dishes. Tang Jing, why did you make all of her favorite dishes? You really favor her!”

“Mrs. Ouyang is unwell, so I prepared the food for her to nourish her body. Don't worry, for I prepared some of your favorite dishes, too.”

Ouyang Qi was back, so Feng Jialing stopped finding fault with Tang Jing. The three of them sat down to have dinner.

The air was thick with tension, yet Ouyang Qi had no clue as to what had transpired prior to his arrival.

Tang Jing didn't reveal anything. She wasn't about to complain to him that soon.

Besides, she knew Ouyang Qi might be displeased if she were to complain directly as Feng Jialing was his mother.

As long as Ouyang Qi was on her side, she wouldn't have to fear Feng Jialing.

Feng Jialing might be Ouyang Qi's mother, but Tang Jing believed she wasn't able to make decisions concerning Ouyang Qi's affairs.

If she was that capable, Ouyang Duo wouldn't have suffered a crushing defeat and died a horrible death.

Tang Jing chose not to go against Feng Jialing not because she was afraid of the latter, but because the timing wasn't right.

Feng Jialing was surprised at Tang Jing's silence.

She assumed Tang Jing would complain to her son, but Tang Jing didn't say anything. In fact, Tang Jing served her dinner and helped her meticulously as usual.

Tang Jing was able to hold back, but Feng Jialing couldn't do so.
