379: A turning point of fate!

Inside the police car, after watching Lin Xuan's back disappear, Xu Shuyun turned her head, her expression solemn, and said in an unprecedentedly stern tone:

"Chuan, did you hear what Xiao Xuan just said? Your glabella is dark, and you will encounter a bloody disaster if you travel far."

"You must immediately abandon the idea of traveling to the Maldives."

"Then tomorrow, bring your girlfriend home to meet your Dad and me."

"..."

Xu Shuyun was decisive and chose to take the initiative.

She wanted to meet the 'vixen' that her son couldn't stop thinking about.

What the heck?! Σ(⊙▽⊙"a.

Mom must have lost her mind, right? When did she become so superstitious?

She even believes such obvious lies meant for three-year-olds, like 'dark glabella' and 'bloody disaster'?

It's the 21st century; how can anyone still believe such nonsense?!

Beastly Cousin isn't a Taoist priest; does she really think he can tell fortunes?

At this moment,

Tang Chuan's face was full of disbelief; his eyes almost popped out, feeling utterly bewildered.

He couldn't understand how such absurd words could come from his mother, a highly educated woman?!

This is unscientific!!!

"Mom! Cousin is just talking nonsense; how can you believe him?"

"Besides, Meng Meng and I have already made private arrangements; how can I go back on my word? She'll be disappointed in me!"

"Are you telling me to be a person who doesn't keep his promises?"

"..."

Facing Tang Chuan's insistence and unwillingness to compromise, Xu Shuyun almost died of anger on the spot.

All my life, I've had a good reputation; how could I have given birth to such an idiot?

He's so foolish, almost being sold, yet he's still diligently counting money for the sellers... If it weren't for Xiao Xuan's reminder, you, you brat, would have been tricked into Myanmar tonight, spending the miserable latter half of your life in a dark dungeon in some park.

By the time we meet again, you and I, mother and son, would have been separated by life and death!!!

..."(⊙x⊙;) Shut up! Is that how you talk to your mother?"

"We told you to stay home, so you stay home honestly. You're not allowed to go anywhere!"

"If you don't listen, I don't mind breaking your legs so you can't leave the house at all."

"..."

Clap clap clap!!!

Compared to Xu Shuyun's earnest persuasion, Tang Guoan was much more straightforward, directly using force to suppress him, raising his hand for several big slaps that left his 'passionate product' dizzy.

Finally, under his parents' firm attitude, Tang Chuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and compromise.

Buzz buzz buzz—

Just then, Tang Chuan's Huawei phone suddenly vibrated. He opened WeChat to see that the person who sent him a message... was his longed-for goddess, Wu Mengmeng!!!!

"[Xiao Chuan! I'm already at the airport; come quickly now. The plane will take off in about half an hour.]"

Thinking of the romantic trip he was about to embark on with his goddess, Tang Chuan's heart couldn't help but race, filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.

He had originally planned to find an opportunity to sneak away, act first and report later, directly holding hands with his goddess and flying to the Maldives on a passenger plane.

By the time his parents realized, he would already be lying on the beach enjoying a sunbath. With the 'rice already cooked,' his Dad and Mom wouldn't be able to do anything to him. As for the consequences after returning to the country... ahem... as the saying goes:

Live for today.

The future can be dealt with later... Anyway, things will work themselves out; there will always be a way... Thinking this, Tang Chuan eagerly wanted to agree.

But for some reason, Lin Xuan's previous "inner thoughts" suddenly appeared in his mind, and he inexplicably felt a wave of panic and unease.

As if by a ghost's whim, the WeChat message he typed unconsciously became:

"[(.・＿・.)ﾉ I’m sorry~ I'm sorry, Meng Meng! Something came up at home, and I can't leave!]

[How about we postpone the travel plan until next week?]

When Tang Chuan came to his senses, the message had already been sent.

Immediately, feeling a bit guilty, he began to find excuses for himself.

I definitely didn't postpone the travel plan because I suspected Meng Meng; it's just that I didn't want to disappoint or upset my Dad and Mom, which is why I temporarily changed my decision.

Yes, that's right!

Ah ε=(´ο｀*))) I'm truly a filial son!!!!

Buzz buzz buzz—

"[Okay! Xiao Chuan, if you have something to do, then there's nothing we can do. Let's go next week!]

[If you need my help, you can always come to me.]

[I'll always be by your side.]

[Oh, and don't work too hard. Remember to drink more water and get more rest.]"

...Looking at the warm replies from his goddess, Tang Chuan was moved to tears and, at the same time, ashamed to the point of wanting to hide.

Not long ago, he actually had a moment of doubt about Meng Meng; he truly deserved to die!!!!

Look... just look... My Meng Meng, what a considerate girl she is!

Even though I stood her up for no reason, she didn't get angry at all; instead, she gave me warm care.

Which man could resist that?!!!

Indeed, this girl is worth protecting for a lifetime!!!!

Immediately after, Tang Chuan first sincerely apologized and promised to give his goddess some jewelry and designer bags as compensation.

Finally, he nervously invited Wu Mengmeng to his house tomorrow to meet Dad Tang and Mom Tang to discuss engagement matters.

"[Okay.]"

Tang Chuan, who received the brief reply, was overjoyed and excitedly whistled ٩(๑＞◡＜๑)۶.

Suddenly, he was met with strange looks from everyone else in the car.

This kid, his brain wasn't damaged by those slaps, was it?!

...At the airport lounge.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

A woman in a light yellow dress with fluffy hair looked upset, watching the passenger plane bound for Myanmar rapidly ascend and fly away.

Two and a half minutes later, she dialed a number, and after the call connected, she said with a hint of respect:

"Mr. Huo, the situation has changed. Tang Chuan sent me a message saying something came up at home, and he can't go to Myanmar for now! The time has been postponed to next week!"

"Hmm? What's so important?!"

A deep, hoarse male voice came from the other end of the line.

Upon hearing that he had been stood up, his tone suddenly rose by an octave, his voice containing suppressed anger.

"I've arranged everything in Myanmar; as soon as Tang Chuan gets off the plane, he can be controlled immediately."

"So much financial and material resources were expended during this period, and now you're telling me he can't come?"

"You didn't accidentally show your hand, and Tang Chuan noticed something, did you?"

"..."
