Gold Medal Sweetheart

The girl was obviously quite unhappy about being forced to do heavy labor again. She didn't even look at him and just kept ironing her shirt.

Fortunately, there was only one sleeve left, so she could finish the job quickly. She was putting away the garment iron with a sullen face when her cell phone rang. She saw it was her mother.

During her time in Yunnan, my mother hadn't heard from me since landing and checking in safely, and after she'd moved into the company-appointed apartment and video chatted with me, she hadn't been heard from since. Tang Xin had messaged her several times, but only received fragmentary voice replies. Perhaps the branch office was too busy.

At this moment, her mother's call cheered her up.

She picked up the phone excitedly, "Hello, Mom."

When Tang's mother on the other end of the phone heard the familiar voice, she was obviously a little surprised. She asked bluntly, "Why are you here?" Then she suddenly realized and said, "I dialed the wrong number. You should hang up soon."

Tang Xin, "..."

Still holding the phone in her hand, Tang Xin was confused and took a long time to understand. Mom, you were worried about her before leaving, and after arriving in Yunnan, you were so busy with work that you probably forgot that you have a biological daughter in this city.

The call wasn't from someone who showed concern for her, but rather a wrong number. She didn't even bother to say a few words, pretending to be her mother, and simply hung up. Teacher Tang was beating her heart to the bone, wondering if this was her biological mother. She was practically devastated.

The key point is that when she answered the phone just now, because it was inconvenient to put away the garment steamer, she directly pressed the hands-free button, and this short and complete conversation was heard by Mr. Jin.

Without even looking, Tang Xin could imagine the gloating expression on his face, so in order to avoid being laughed at by him, it was best to leave.

But unlike what Teacher Tang complained, she suffered far more than just that.

Shortly after his mother hung up on him, Jin Taize's phone rang. As the man pressed the hands-free button, the sound that broke through the air startled Teacher Tang who was about to escape to the guest bedroom.

It turned out to be my mother.

Tang Xin couldn't believe her ears. Her mother yelled that she had dialed the wrong number. After hanging up on her, she actually called Jin Taize, an outsider.

Tang Xin suddenly turned around and looked at the man facing her from a distance, and as expected, a very proud look appeared on his face.

"Auntie." The man called her respectfully, but he looked at her straight with a curved lip corner, and there was a hint of provocation secretly surging between the two of them.

"Taize, for the homestay you arranged for my aunt, can you please ask the owner of the small courtyard and ask them how much rent is appropriate?" asked Tang's mother.

Yesterday, Jin Taize told Tang's mother that a friend of his had bought a property in Yunnan a few years ago, but now he's away for work, so the courtyard is being rented out through a real estate agency. Having not been back for a while, he's been missing it a bit, but since he heard he has friends there, he'd like to ask Taize's friends to check out the courtyard.

Tang's mother and father had found an agent that morning and were taking them to see the courtyard. Everything about the courtyard was excellent: a private entrance and courtyard, a good location, and the decor was exceptionally simple and elegant. When they told Tai Ze everything, he suggested they move in.

Tang's mother knew that renting a small courtyard like this in Yunnan was not cheap. So when Tai Ze suggested that she and Tang's father move in from the apartment, although she really liked the courtyard, she was a little worried about the rent.

Tai Ze adjusted himself to a more comfortable position on the sofa. "Auntie, it's really not necessary. My friend's courtyard has been vacant for a long time. He recently wanted to rent it out not for the money but for someone to look after it. However, he was very hesitant before making this decision, fearing that he would meet an unreliable tenant. In fact, his original idea was to find someone he knew well to help take care of it. I didn't expect such a coincidence that you and uncle are on a business trip there."

Tang's mother smiled awkwardly, "How can I feel comfortable doing that?"

"You and your uncle will live in it, and he will be at ease with you for one hundred and twenty."

"But the rent has to be paid anyway." Tang's mother still felt it was inappropriate.

"We went there to help him, and he can't thank you and uncle enough." Jin Taize joked, "Where else can we find tenants as kind as you and uncle? We're lucky we don't have to ask him for compensation."

This made Tang's mother laugh, "You kid, you make me feel embarrassed."

"Auntie, please don't take this little thing to heart. The landlord is a close friend of mine. If you don't move in, you're not doing me a favor."

"Then Auntie really wants to thank your friend. When Auntie goes back, she will thank you and your friend very much." Seeing that Jin Taize had said this, Tang's mother really couldn't refuse, so she had to agree first, thinking that she would make up for it later.
