Chapter 1036: Paying Respects to the Owner
Uncle Chen's words shifted Tang Yuerong's state of mind.
She had waited so anxiously and respectfully for nothing more than the hope that this gentleman might help her escape her predicament.
But looking back on it now, she realized she had been wrong.
From start to finish, she had treated this as nothing more than a transaction, while Uncle Chen genuinely viewed her as his niece.
He never praised how well she was doing. He only spoke of her hardships and exhaustion, telling her she should smile more, and cry when she wanted to cry.
Emotions always arrived without warning.
As she ate, a couple of tears splashed into her bowl.
Chen Changsheng merely asked, "Is the food not salty enough? Are you adding some extra?"
That single remark made Tang Yuerong break into a smile through her tears. Unable to keep crying, she laughed instead, though her eyes remained red.
