I will be stronger after the remake

No matter how you look at it, Aunt Yu exudes the aura of a career-driven, strong woman. Moreover, when I looked at Yu Shujiang's character introduction using "Three-Eyed True Radiance," it was mentioned that the young girl regarded her mother as a role model, so she couldn't possibly be a simple-minded person.

But if my father and Aunt Yu had a close relationship, why haven't they been in contact for more than ten years?

The only reason Tang Ping could think of was emotional debt, and all sorts of melodramatic love stories involving two women and one man immediately popped into her mind.

However, since it concerned his deceased mother, he only scratched the surface and did not overthink it. Moreover, he knew his father's character very well; his father was always straightforward and never ambiguous when it came to relationships. Over the years, matchmakers had come to introduce him to women, and some women had even expressed their interest, but his father had firmly rejected them all.

As Tang Ping pondered this, she sat down in the seat next to her father.

Yu Shujiang tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a hint of excitement, "We meet again. I was so flustered just now that I forgot to thank you."

Aunt Yu looked surprised upon hearing this: "It sounds like you two know each other. How did you meet? I've never heard you mention it before."

Tang Zheng also cast a curious glance at him.

"We just met. It was on the food street next to the university. We ran into police officers in disguise arresting wanted criminals. My classmate and I were very unlucky and got caught up in it. We almost lost our lives, but Tang Ping saved us."

Yu Shujiang told a truth that was full of deception.

Aunt Yu frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me about something so important?"

"Not long after the incident, the police called us and said that the wanted criminals might have accomplices and asked us to keep it a secret and not to spread it around."

"I think you've gone stupid from reading too much. Keeping things secret is for outsiders, not for your family. As long as you don't post it online, how far can it spread?"

Tang Ping overheard the conversation between the mother and daughter and was slightly puzzled. Shouldn't parents be concerned about whether their daughter was injured as soon as they heard that she had almost been killed by a wanted criminal?

But he didn't think much of it. After all, Yu Shujiang was sitting there unharmed, and it was obvious whether she was injured or not. Perhaps Aunt Yu just didn't want to say anything more.

Tang Zheng knew his son's abilities, so he wasn't surprised. He simply patted his shoulder, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "Well done! I'm proud of you!"

Aunt Yu said irritably, "What do you mean 'well done'? Is this how you educate your child? That's a wanted criminal who would attack strangers. Even the police have warned the person involved to keep it a secret. Who knows what kind of vicious murderer he might be? You should stay far away from him instead of rushing in to play the hero."

Tang Zheng said speechlessly, "If my son hadn't gone to play the hero, your daughter might be dead."

"One thing at a time. I am grateful to Tang Ping for saving Shu Jiang, but you can't educate him like this," Aunt Yu said to Tang Ping earnestly. "In the future, if you encounter similar situations, never try to be a hero. Leave professional matters to professionals. These days, there are all sorts of monsters and demons. Doing good deeds doesn't necessarily bring good rewards. If you encounter an ungrateful beast, he might even turn around and sue you for harassment. Times are changing, and people's hearts are changing too. Your father's ways are no longer up-to-date."

Tang Zheng argued forcefully: "What you're talking about is a very small minority."

"See, you don't deny that there are such people. Just encountering one can disgust you for a lifetime. Don't learn from your father's 'Do good deeds and don't worry about the future,' that's just brainwashing idiots' talk."

“You’re wronging me. When I do good deeds, I always want to know about the future. I wish I could tell the whole world. Don’t treat my son like an ignorant student. He’s been with me since he was little and knows how to deal with ungrateful people, so I can encourage him with peace of mind.”

Aunt Yu scoffed, "I don't believe a single word your selfless personality says!"

Tang Ping asked curiously, "A selfless personality?"

Aunt Yu replied without hesitation: "A selfless personality is a personality that gains a sense of self-worth by continuously giving and taking care of others, and can ignore their own needs in the process. It usually stems from upbringing, social expectations, or psychological defense mechanisms. Your father had a psychology professor evaluate him when he was in college. I told him it was a mental illness and asked him to get treatment, but he was unwilling. So I'm not surprised that he later became an investigative journalist. His personality was bound to lead him down this path sooner or later."

Tang Zheng said helplessly, "Don't talk as if I'm a born criminal. Besides, so much time has passed, and I've changed more or less."

"Anyway, I didn't see it," Aunt Yu said disdainfully, then said to Tang Ping with some affection, "Being his son must be hard. He is a very loving person who always puts other people's needs above his own. He easily overlooks the people around him. You must have suffered a lot when you were young."

Tang Zheng protested, "Hey, hey, hey, don't instill strange ideas in my son. I value my son more than my own life."

Tang Ping thought for a moment and said, "I did do all the housework when I was a child."

Aunt Yu, with an "I knew it!" expression, said, "See!"

Tang Zheng said weakly, "Give your father some face."

"You actually asked your son to save face for you, Tang Zheng, you've really made something of yourself..."

Aunt Yu was about to launch into a tirade when her phone rang. She picked it up, glanced at the caller ID, and as her fingertip hovered over the answer button, she instantly composed herself and asked in a calm voice, "What is it?"

The three people present immediately realized it was a work call and remained silent without prior agreement.

Which article and clause of the contract?

Aunt Yu's eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and her chopsticks paused slightly on the porcelain plate, making a very soft "ding" sound.

Upon hearing the reply, she thought for a moment and then issued instructions in an orderly manner: "First, have the legal department give me a clear explanation within half an hour; second, notify Mr. Wang of Guangwei that I want to speak with him personally; third, before I get back, have the technical department prepare a risk assessment and alternative plans."

After hanging up the phone, Aunt Yu picked up her handbag and said, "I'm sorry, there's been a slight mishap with the business, I have to go and take care of it."

Tang Zheng waved his hand and said, "I understand. After all, she is an entrepreneur who has been on the list. It's normal for her to be busy. This isn't a romance novel where a domineering female CEO has nothing to do all day."

"Stop being sarcastic. Tang Ping is my daughter's savior, and we can't leave without showing our gratitude. If we don't have a chance today, I'll take you around tomorrow."

After Aunt Yu finished speaking, she stood up and said to Yu Shujiang, "Let's go."

"Oh."

Yu Shujiang hurriedly got up, then suddenly remembered something and said to Tang Ping, "Let's add each other on WeChat. I haven't formally thanked you yet."

Tang Ping did not refuse.

The two exchanged WeChat contacts. Yu Shujiang politely said goodbye and left with her mother.

Tang Ping watched the two figures walk away and whispered to her father, "The daughter takes her mother's surname. Could it be that this Aunt Yu is single?"

"Married but not divorced".

"There's no other way then. No matter how much I support you finding a stepmother, you can't become a mistress."

Tang Zheng said helplessly, "What are you thinking? We're not in that kind of relationship."

It wasn't a lie, Tang Ping thought to herself, "She can recite the characteristics of a selfless personality without hesitation, which shows that she has kept them in mind. If it were me, I wouldn't remember information about someone I'm not even close to so clearly."

"We used to be very good friends, we admired each other and were the kind of people who would stand up for each other."

Why does it feel like you owe her something in your attitude?

“I have a clear conscience,” Tang Zheng answered subconsciously, then felt a little breathless, “but it is precisely because I have a clear conscience that I feel indebted.”

"Stop talking nonsense. Forget it. I'm not interested in my elders' love history. As long as they don't suddenly tell me one day that 'Yu Shujiang is my half-sister,' I don't want to be tortured by such a melodramatic plot."

"Putting aside the fact that the girl doesn't look like me at all, I'm not the kind of person who lacks a sense of responsibility."

"That's true."

Tang Ping's father has always been a traditional Eastern man who is extremely responsible, somewhat chauvinistic, and full of a sense of mission.

……

The next day, Aunt Yu arrived as promised, and Tang Ping learned from her father that the other party's full name was Yu Saifeng, and she was indeed as spirited and vigorous as her name suggested.

Yu Shujiang didn't come because she had to go to school.

She is currently a first-year high school student, and her studies are not too busy. However, she is not the kind of genius student who has to rely on self-discipline to maintain her excellent grades.

Under the pretext of repaying a debt of gratitude, Yu Saifeng took Tang Ping on a shopping spree. Whenever Tang Ping showed the slightest interest, she would immediately buy it, proving with her actions that Tang Zheng's description of her as a "domineering female CEO" yesterday was not a joke.

"So you're the type who looks slim in clothes, I never would have guessed before."

In a brand store that Tang Ping didn't recognize, Yu Saifeng picked out clothes for him and casually touched them, praising, "Your body is very strong. You must work out a lot. These muscles aren't something you can build just by exercising."

Tang Ping felt a little embarrassed and looked to her father for help.

Tang Zheng gestured to indicate that he understood, and immediately protested, "It's fine to look, but don't lay a hand on my son. You're an elder now, you need to know your limits."

"Well?"

Yu Saifeng stopped what she was doing, thought for a moment, and said, "I took a liking to Tang Ping the moment I saw him yesterday. And coincidentally, he saved my daughter, which proves that he has a special connection with my family. How about I make him my godson?"

Tang Zheng paused for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Well..."

Yu Saifeng said with a stern face, "You're not going to reject me a second time, are you?"

Tang Zheng's momentum instantly weakened, and he stammered, "I didn't say I refused, but shouldn't we consider this?"

"What are you thinking about? Just be straightforward. Are you even a man if you're so indecisive?"

"Alright, alright, let's not escalate this to personal attacks. As long as Tang Ping agrees, I have no objection," Tang Zheng muttered. "Why are you getting more and more sharp-tongued as you get older?"

Yu Saifeng pretended not to hear the second half of the sentence, turned to Tang Ping and asked, "Would you like to recognize me as your godmother?"

Tang Ping gave her father a disapproving look that seemed to say, "You're so useless," and replied evasively, "This all happened so suddenly, I wasn't prepared at all."

Yu Saifeng took out a bank card and said, "There is one million in here. Consider it a gift for my future godson."

Tang Ping took the card and asked, "Should I call you godmother or godmother?"

"up to you."

Yu Saifeng happily reached out and touched the muscles on Tang Ping's arm.

The godmother touched her godson; now no one will gossip, right?

Tang Zheng stood behind Yu Saifeng, a look of disdain in his eyes, and mouthed to his son, "Wealth and honor cannot corrupt."

Tang Ping retorted with a blank expression, "Unyielding to power."

The father and son exchanged a glance, both feeling ashamed.

Chapter 167 Early Awakening

After recognizing a godmother, I carried a bunch of bags and things back to the hotel.

Neither Tang Zheng nor his son felt embarrassed. Even setting aside the issue of recognizing a godmother, they felt it was only right that they received thanks for saving Tang Zheng's daughter's life.

If the Yu family were just an ordinary family, Tang Ping wouldn't have accepted the bank card. But Yu Saifeng is a well-known female entrepreneur in the area, and she works in the hottest real estate industry. There's really no need for her to save money for them.

That evening, Tang Ping received a message from Yu Shujiang.

Yu Shujiang: You've recognized my mother as your godmother?

Tang Ping: Yes.

Yu Shujiang: Should I call you brother from now on?

Tang Ping: You can call me that if you want, or you can call me by my name if you don't.

Yu Shujiang: I feel like my mom cares about you more than her own daughter. When you came back, she kept praising you, saying that you have good grades, a great figure, and a chivalrous spirit.

Tang Ping: Where is the praise? My godmother is speaking the absolute truth.

Yu Shujiang: ?(:з」∠)?

Yu Shujiang: I didn't expect you to be so witty and humorous. Yesterday, you spoke so sternly in the other world. I thought you were a very serious and earnest person. I didn't even dare to talk to you in the restaurant.

Tang Ping: You still remember what happened in that other world!?

Yu Shujiang: Of course I remember! It's only been a day, and it was such a thrilling experience. I think I'll never forget it! Actually, I wanted to ask you about it yesterday, but I was afraid it was a state secret and I couldn't ask. I couldn't concentrate in class today, and I kept thinking about it. Now that you're my brother, could you reveal a little bit of something unimportant? I'm really curious.

Tang Ping looked at the content on her phone and frowned slightly. Was Yu Shujiang's situation special, or was it simply that too little time had passed and the effects hadn't yet manifested?

He knew that ordinary people would forget memories related to psychic powers, but he really didn't know how long this process would take. He had previously thought that they might forget after a good night's sleep, which was why the local armed psychic officers had only verbally warned the girls not to spread the word. But perhaps it would take longer than he imagined?

Perhaps because Tang Ping had not replied for a long time, Yu Shujiang sent another message that sounded somewhat timid.

Yu Shujiang: Are you still there? If I can't find out, I won't ask. Please don't worry about it.

Tang Ping: Send a message to the three classmates who were with you and ask them if they remember what happened yesterday. If they do, ask them how much they remember.

Yu Shujiang: I'll definitely remember. (Retracted)

Yu Shujiang: I'll contact them right away!

About twenty minutes later, Yu Shujiang called directly, her voice tense: "Brother Tang Ping, it seems like the three of them have forgotten! Oh, no, saying they've forgotten isn't accurate. They remember going shopping with me yesterday, and they also remember the police arresting a wanted criminal, but they don't remember anything else!"

"It wasn't until I recounted my experience in the other world yesterday that they remembered it and became very flustered. What exactly happened? Only a day has passed; even with a poor memory, there's no reason they should have forgotten it all!"

"Is it like in 'The Matrix,' where the authorities send someone to erase the memories of those involved, shine a glowing pen on us, and we forget everything that happened yesterday? Will they send someone to erase my memory next?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ping had an answer in her heart and said, "Calm down, the kind of thing you're imagining won't happen. Also, I have some good news for you: you have the qualifications to become a psionicist."

"A psionicist? You mean, I can also become a psionicist like you?"

“My situation is a little special, but your understanding is not wrong. Ordinary people will naturally forget things related to superpowers, only those with the aptitude of psionicists can retain their memories.”

More accurately, only those whose spiritual factors within their bodies begin to activate can retain memories. If a person will become a psionicist in the future, but their spiritual factors have not yet been activated at the present moment, they will still forget the relevant memories and can only recall them after they are activated in the future.

Tang Ping briefly introduced the situation of psychics, and then said: "Actually, when you students underwent the entrance physical examination, the government had already tested your spiritual factors, but no one from the Psychic Administration came to you before, which proves that your spiritual factors were not yet awakened when you enrolled."

"According to statistics, very few people your age become psionicists. You must have been stimulated by yesterday's adventure, which caused your spiritual factors to be activated prematurely."

Yu Shujiang asked nervously, "What dangers might there be in activating it ahead of time?"

"Currently, there is no scientific research to prove that premature activation of spiritual factors is dangerous. However, due to the limited experimental data and the rarity of spiritual beings, it cannot be said that there is absolutely no problem. It can only be said that the authorities do not support premature activation, but if they encounter such cases, they will send someone to guide them."

Can superpowers be used for scientific research?

"Science is a method, not a discipline or phenomenon. It is not opposed to superpowers, fantasy, etc. Getting back to the point, if you want to become a psychic sooner, I can introduce you to the local psychic management bureau. If you don't want people to know, then there's probably nothing I can do, because your spiritual factors have already been activated and will definitely be discovered during the next physical examination. At that time, the people from the psychic management bureau will still come to your door. It's just a matter of sooner or later."

"I do!"
