Chapter 3188 — The Incensed Tang Yuqi: Shen Yushu Knew Tang's Mother and Secretly Exchanged a Glance with Her, Yet Did Not Go Over to Greet Her

"Ling Shan, Auntie—it seems you both know that man from just now?" Tang Yuqi said, growing rather puzzled about Wei Zhao's identity.
"He's the very man I told you about..." Qiu Lingshan said. "Didn't you notice? The girl beside him in the sunglasses and pink coat—that's Xu Shilan... Oh, that's right, you've come back from overseas, so it's only natural you wouldn't know Xu Shilan."
"Xu Shilan? I've heard of her—she's quite famous..." Tang Yuqi said, then suddenly knit his brows. "Your boyfriend is him?"
In front of Tang's mother, admitting that she had any connection with Wei Zhao still left Qiu Lingshan somewhat embarrassed, and just then Tang's mother's expression had turned a little odd as well. Wei Zhao might no longer remember Tang Zhi, but Tang Zhi still liked Wei Zhao! So anyone around Wei Zhao was something Tang's mother took especially seriously.
And at that moment Tang's mother suddenly understood as well why Qiu Lingshan had been so courteous to her. Now it seemed that Qiu Lingshan must have been treating herself as a junior of the family.
"Not really a boyfriend—I just like him and haven't confessed yet. He actually has a girlfriend, only she's gone away, so at most I count as the other woman..." Qiu Lingshan said.
Qiu Lingshan's words delighted Tang's mother at once—so Qiu Lingshan was quite self-aware after all! Tang's mother was not afraid of Wei Zhao taking a second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth woman; after all, Tang Zhi had tacitly permitted it. What she feared was some woman without self-awareness trying to take Tang Zhi's place.
And Tang's mother was thoroughly satisfied with Qiu Lingshan's behavior; she began to find her altogether agreeable to look at. Only toward her nephew Tang Yuqi could she do nothing to help.
"What?! You're only the other woman?" Tang Yuqi was instantly furious. "Is this man really that wonderful? I can't hold back any longer—I'm going to challenge him right now! Ling Shan, I'll show you that men more outstanding than him still exist!"
Tang Yuqi could hardly be blamed for getting so worked up. When he heard that Qiu Lingshan was actually willing to be the other woman, how outstanding must this Wei Zhao be? So he refused to accept it—he even forgot the uncle and aunt beside him, his whole heart set on settling who was superior with Wei Zhao!
"But surely we should finish eating first?" Qiu Lingshan did not try to stop him. She knew perfectly well that unless Tang Yuqi was allowed to challenge Wei Zhao, he would never give up; only by losing so thoroughly that he was convinced at heart would he let it go!
So challenging Wei Zhao as soon as possible was a good thing—only just now they were in the middle of a meal with Tang's mother's family, so how could they reasonably break off to go challenge him?
"I'm sorry, Uncle, Auntie, I've made a spectacle of myself..." Woken up by Qiu Lingshan's words, Tang Yuqi grew a little ashamed, realizing that this was a family reunion—how could he rush off to a challenge in the middle of a meal?
"It doesn't matter. Though Auntie has only just met you, what Auntie wants to say is that some things come down to fate. If there is affinity but no destiny, forcing it is useless," Tang's mother said to Tang Yuqi.
"Ah..." Tang Yuqi was slightly taken aback. He glanced at Qiu Lingshan, and his heart gave a sudden pang. There and then he vowed in his heart that he would prove himself stronger than Wei Zhao!
That topic was left there, touched upon and no more, and Tang Yuqi did not pursue it further. Instead he asked, "Uncle, Auntie, I heard you say just now that you belong to Snow Valley? What is this Snow Valley?"
"Yuqi, Ling Shan tells me you're a cultivator too? You belong to the Overseas Cultivators' Association, so you've surely heard of the ancient sects?" Tang's mother asked.
