Chapter 53: Preying

Tong Lele, who was upstairs, was looking out of the window out of boredom.
Suddenly, two familiar figures caught his attention downstairs.
A man and woman walked out of the car.
‘Isn’t that Mo Lisi’ daddy and my mommy?’
‘Why did they alight from the same car?’
Within a second, Tong Jiumo was home.
When he opened the door, Tong Lele leaned against the cabinet and raised his eyebrows at Tong Jiumo. “Aiyo, mommy, something is on!”
Tong Jiumo looked at Tong Lele, who was standing near the door. “What is the problem?”
Tong Lele continued to tease. “I saw everything just now. I saw a handsome man sending you home.”
“It was a ride-hailing service.” Tong Jiumo did not expect that Tong Lele had witnessed the scene of Mo Qijue sending her home.
“I don’t believe you. I used the binoculars to check the car plate number before hacking into the vehicle management system and realized that it was Mo Qijue’s car. I then checked his background, and he is not a small character.”
Tong Lele added, “He is the president of the Mo International organization, 30 years old, single at the moment, and has no bad vices. Out of curiosity, I hacked into the company’s system to check their finance department, and I realized… mommy! This man is worthy of marriage! You should marry, no, must marry him!”
“Why should I marry him?” Tong Jiumo looked at Tong Lele with a stunned face.
“His assets are worthy of you marrying him!” Tong Lele said, “Those are big numbers. He has so much money that you will take forever to count them.”
“Aren’t you scared that they might catch you for hacking into their system?” Tong Jiumo was worried that Tong Lele would get into trouble. “Mommy has nothing to do with that man. Don’t make a background check on other people just because they caught your eye!”
“I am helping mommy search for valuable items!” Tong Lele put out a worried face.
“If you continue to hack into unknown systems to check people’s information, be careful that trouble might knock on your door,” said Tong Jiumo while changing her shoes.
“That won’t happen,” said Tong Lele proudly. “Mommy, that Mo Qijue from just now does not have any interest in you?”
Tong Jiumo froze and recalled their encounter from before. It was a horrible experience.
Besides, he was her boss now.
“I am working under him now.” Tong Jiumo changed into her cotton slippers and said to Tong Lele while looking at him, “Next time, you are not to check on the people around me. If you are to continue to be like this, it will be tough for mommy to find a partner. Didn’t you always pester mommy to find you a daddy?”
“But he must be someone that I am satisfied with!” Tong Lele followed behind Tong Jiumo to the living room. “Mommy, you are as pretty as a flower and even have a kid and can make money. Why should I let those playboys have you? My beautiful mommy can only marry a rich and handsome guy.”
Tong Jiumo turned around to look at Tong Lele and smiled. “Why do you look like a heartbroken adult? Are you that worried that mommy cannot get married?”
“I am worried that mommy will be stolen away!” Tong Lele pouted with his arms akimbo.
‘Because there’s already a kid that is preying on mommy!’
Tong Lele couldn’t not be on guard.
“With you around, even if mommy gets stolen, you will save mommy, won’t you?” Tong Jiumo was never worried about this.
“Sigh, what if I were to fall in love, fall into a love trap, and forget about mommy?” asked Tong Lele curiously.
Tong Jiumo looked at Tong Lele condescendingly and asked while raising her eyebrows, “In that case, you must tell mommy. Unless you have a habit of forgetting your mommy for your wife?”
