Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 159: Mu Jingzhe Is Famous

Tang Moling was frustrated by Ji Buwang’s question. “Then what should I do? Uncle, I…”

“Seems like you still haven’t understood your mistake. Get down.” Ji Buwang coldly interrupted Tang Moling’s defense.

Tang Moling was so frightened that he almost jumped up. “No way, Uncle. I’m already so old, yet you still want to spank me? How am I going to face anyone in the future?”

He was only a few years older than him, but he had been threatening to spank him since they were young. What right did he have?

Tang Moling guarded his butt and glared at Ji Buwang, who sneered.

“You know that you’re old, but look at what you’ve done. Which of the things you have done seems like it was done by an adult? You knew very well that this would affect Jingzhe, but did you ever think about it from her perspective? No, you only care about your own feelings!”

Ji Buwang had a disappointed look on his face. “Tang Moling, you’re too selfish.”

He was so selfish that even Shao Qiyang was better than him. At least, Shao Qiyang was aware of the pros and cons. No matter what, he had been acting with Jingzhe’s best interests in mind.

Tang Moling couldn’t help but take a step back when he heard Ji Buwang’s words. His uncle was right, but all he wanted was to express his love for her bravely. “In the past, you taught me not to care too much about other people’s gossip…”

“But I didn’t teach you to ignore the trouble and gossip you caused others!” Ji Buwang snorted. “Listen to me. If you dare look for Jingzhe again, I’ll break your legs!”

“What right do you have to do that?”

“I’m your uncle, and Mu Jingzhe is your future aunt! Do you think I don’t know that you’ve been asking around?”

Tang Moling couldn’t take this lying down. “You say that she’s my future aunt. It’s not like she’s already my aunt. What right do you have to break my legs? If she becomes my aunt, then forget it. You can break my legs. But she’s not!”

Tang Moling stepped back warily. “I won’t give up. Even though you’re my uncle, I’ll still compete fairly.”

“Say that again?” Ji Buwang looked at Tang Moling dangerously, the feather duster in his hand eager for action.

“This won’t change no matter how many times you speak. I won’t give up even if you spank me,” Tang Moling declared stubbornly.

“So you want people to constantly criticize and point at Jingzhe? After the villagers point at her, she will be known among the Ji Family and friends as the woman an uncle and nephew are fighting over. You want Jingzhe to be accused of seducing men again?”

Tang Moling paused.

After the previous incident and the conversation with Ji Buwang, Tang Moling stopped trying to look for Mu Jingzhe.

Meanwhile, Ji Buwang also got busy. The news of his return had spread, and it was unavoidable that many social events and things would need attention.

Old Master Ji hadn’t urged Ji Buwang previously, but this time, he said that he had rested enough and should get back to his serious work.

However, both grandfather and grandson had the same attitude toward Tang Moling. Not only did they not take back what they had handed over to Tang Moling, but Ji Buwang even increased his workload.

Ji Buwang felt that Tang Moling’s mind was filled with love and affection because he had too much free time. It’d be good to keep him busy.

The Ji Family had a large family business. Regardless of whether he was the heir or not, they wouldn’t treat Tang Moling unfairly. Tang Moling could continue working in the family business.

Tang Moling hadn’t expected that there would be even more things for him to deal with after Ji Buwang woke up. He was so busy that he really didn’t have time to bother Mu Jingzhe anymore.

While Tang Moling was busy, Ji Buwang was free, so he continued going to the art school to teach. When he was free, he would read books on how to interact with children and study.

Uncle Li: “…”

He had thought that since his nephew was involved, he might give up. Now, it was apparent that his young master was bent on becoming a stepfather.

Uncle Li hesitated for a while, but in the end, he still reported the situation to the Old Master.

Actually, Old Master Ji wasn’t completely clueless. This was also the reason he had allowed Ji Buwang to rest elsewhere. In the past, Ji Buwang hadn’t even wanted to get married. Now that the iron tree had finally bloomed, he naturally hoped for it to blossom and bear fruit.

Old Master Ji didn’t investigate further, just like he had stayed out of it when Tang Moling had insisted on getting engaged to a girl from the village.

This was a lesson he’d learned from Tang Moling’s mother. She was his first granddaughter, the apple of his eye, and he had always wanted to give her the best.

Therefore, when he’d learned that his granddaughter had fallen in love with such a poor guy, he had objected. It wasn’t that he despised the guy for being poor, but he could tell that he wasn’t a good match for her. However, he hadn’t expected that his granddaughter would elope with him.

This granddaughter of his had completely broken Old Master Ji’s heart. Later on, she’d even lost her life, and he hadn’t even gotten to see her for the last time. She had only left behind this maternal great-grandson for Old Master Ji.

From then on, Old Master Ji had decided not to interfere with the marriages of the younger generation. Whether they were happy or not was up to them. Anyway, the youngsters would probably eventually end the relationship themselves without needing him to object.

That was exactly what had happened with Tang Moling in the end. Old Master Ji just hadn’t expected that he would fall for another girl. Coincidentally, it was the girl that Buwang also liked.

Old Master Ji didn’t think that Mu Jingzhe had seduced them or anything, but he was really curious about her.

However, after listening to Uncle Li’s detailed report, not only was Old Master Ji curious about Mu Jingzhe, but he was also interested in the children. The children seemed to be pretty good kids. More importantly, Mu Jingzhe, who wasn’t related to them by blood, was very concerned about them. From the looks of it, she had made up her mind to take care of them.

To think that kid Buwang actually cared about them too.

Hence, Old Master Ji was suddenly curious about the children and wanted to meet them.

Old Master Ji was quite calm when he received the news, but the others were a little worked up.

When the news of Ji Buwang waking up spread, many people started paying attention to him. Ji Buwang didn’t make any effort to conceal the matter, and soon, people found out that he seemed to be interested in a girl. No, it would be more accurate to say that he was interested in a young widow.

Word of the fact that Tang Moling was also fond of Mu Jingzhe had yet to spread. Everyone’s attention was still on the fact that Tang Moling had taken a fancy to a village girl. Now that he had lost his position as the heir, the amount of attention he received had dropped significantly.

Their attention turned to Ji Buwang, who had miraculously woken up after four years of being in a coma. After a lot of waiting, instead of hearing news of him fighting for the position of the heir, they ended up hearing that he had taken a fancy to a young widow with five children.

Everyone was shocked. Although they later found out that the five children weren’t related to the widow by blood, it was undeniable that the woman was a young widow.

Who was Ji Buwang? He was an arrogant man who even looked down on many noble ladies, yet his taste had turned out to be very unique. Everyone wanted to know how beautiful and outstanding Mu Jingzhe was.

Mu Jingzhe didn’t know that she had already become famous in this circle. Her name had even spread to Ocean City and the capital, making her a legendary existence.

Without Tang Moling to disturb her, Mu Jingzhe felt much better and could focus on the matters at hand.

Over at the paper manufacturing factory, after some adjustments, they were already on the right track. They began to produce large quantities of toilet paper and sanitary pads.

Mu Jingzhe was busy running the business. She wasn’t in a hurry to produce tissue paper. The toilet paper she produced was mainly the rolled kind and large-sheet kind. These days, many people were used to using large sheets.
