Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Understanding More
The old woman had wanted to make a scene, but she never anticipated that all the onlookers would support Liu Zheng.
This truly made her feel incredibly incredulous, and she felt utterly helpless in her heart.
If that was the case, then even if she continued to cause a fuss, it likely wouldn’t lead to any good outcomes.
Moreover, just like they said, if Liu Zheng really lost his temper and decided to call the police to take her away, what should I do then?
So in the end, after making noise for a while and realizing it seemed to have little effect, she left the area.
Little did she know that at that moment, someone had set their sights on her.
This person was one of Huang Haoxiang’s cronies.
You could also say he was one of his lackeys; everyone usually called him Old Luo.
Normally, he was the most active in flattery, and not only that, he could be quite an instigator if anything happened.
Last time, everyone had been happily playing, singing, and dancing at the party.
It was he who suddenly brought up an issue, infuriating Huang Haoxiang so much that he left halfway through and immediately gathered a group to teach Liu Zheng a lesson.
And this time, he had finally found his opportunity.
He quickly began to collect information on the old woman, hoping to make Huang Haoxiang happy.
In due course, he could also take advantage of this opportunity to get back at Liu Zheng properly, to show him how formidable he was.
Once Liu Zheng heard that there was no more commotion outside, he opened his window to take a look and saw that the old woman had left unknowingly.
Seeing that she had finally stopped making noise, Liu Zheng was genuinely happy— he was tired of hearing such sounds.
It was mainly just too annoying.
If it weren’t for her continuous disturbance, he probably would have gone back to his research by now.
After such a disruption, he really wasn’t in the mood anymore.
Shortly after, he began to feel hungry.
He was thinking of going out to eat as usual when he remembered the food Li Yanling brought him the day before.
So he immediately opened it and prepared to eat.
To his surprise, it tasted incredibly good.
It really was no less than what you’d expect from her.
If it had been anyone else, they probably couldn’t have made such delicious food.
Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but look up at the wall clock and saw that it was nearly mealtime—why not go and have another meal at Li Yanling’s place?
Especially since there was an upcoming parent-child sports day he had promised to attend with Xiao Kai, it would be a good chance to properly figure out what he should be doing by then.
Not only that, he wouldn’t go empty-handed.
He soon bought some food and fruit and arrived at Li Yanling’s doorstep.
He lifted his hand and gently knocked on the door.
Before long, Xiao Kai came up to open it.
Upon seeing Liu Zheng outside, his face broke into a relieved smile.
"That’s great, Uncle Liu, you’ve come again, I really missed you."
Li Yanling, who was cooking inside, also stepped forward to Liu Zheng upon hearing this.
Seeing the fruit in his hands, she immediately said,
"Oh my, you’re too polite. Just coming here is enough; why bring so much food? Quick, quick, get Uncle Liu to sit down. I’ll go back to cooking."
After saying that, she entered the kitchen again.
At this moment, Xiaokai brought Liu Zheng into the living room.
Liu Zheng immediately placed those items on the table.
Then, with a smile, he looked at Xiaokai and said,
"When exactly is that parent-child sports day you were talking about last time? What should I prepare for it? To be honest, I’ve never participated in such an event before, so I’ll need you to tell me all about it."
I never expected Uncle Liu to take such a matter so seriously.
It truly touched the person in front of him.
After all, he had never had such an opportunity before.
Normally, when there was a sports day like this, he simply couldn’t participate properly.
Previously, he had no respect for his mother and didn’t want her to be seen by everyone.
And since he didn’t have a father, the issue had always been put aside.
Sometimes, his classmates would even make jokes about him.
But now everything was completely different.
Now, he could have someone to join him.
At this moment, a small smile appeared on his face, and he said,
"It will be basic sports events, like running and hurdles, that sort of thing. It’s quite simple, Uncle Liu, you don’t need to prepare too much."
Hearing this, Liu Zheng finally felt much relieved.
Initially, he thought it might be something more difficult.
But then he figured that since it was an event that all parents would attend, it probably wouldn’t be too difficult, otherwise it would be so embarrassing for them.
So, he really was overthinking it.
He chuckled, scratching the back of his head as he spoke.
"That makes sense, if all the parents might be participating, then it can’t be too hard. I was really overthinking it."
Yet Xiaokai could clearly sense that Liu Zheng took such matters very seriously.
He was genuinely thankful to Liu Zheng for it.
"It’s nothing."
Then, in a considerate gesture, he poured a cup of tea for Liu Zheng and said,
"Uncle Liu, I’m really thankful that you take this matter so seriously. I am grateful for the experience you are giving me."
He thought he was going to say something else, but it turned out to be just that.
To Liu Zheng, though, it wasn’t a big deal.
"Oh, you are being too polite, my boy. Since we’re friends, helping each other out is the right thing to do, isn’t it?"
"Now that I’ve got the hang of it and find myself with nothing to do, I might as well go and help your mother in the kitchen."
He had been thinking about taking this opportunity to see Li Yanling, to steal a kiss, and to exchange feelings.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Xiaokai also immediately spoke up sensibly,
"Sure, no problem. I’ll go in with you, Uncle. Together we can help Mom so she doesn’t get too tired."
His words left Liu Zheng at a loss for a response, and he ended up agreeing.
It was quite awkward indeed.
He had never imagined it would turn out like this.
