"Did it work out?" Mrs. Tang turned her head, barely able to look at Tang Mubai's goofy grin.
"It worked out!" Tang Mubai happily ran his fingers through his hair. "Mom, you have no idea how amazing Ms. Shen is. She became a professor at Huaning University when she was twenty, and now she's supervising PhD students. Her research institute's annual profits are almost the same as our family's…"
Tang Mubai continued to gush, leaving Mrs. Tang somewhat stunned.
After a moment, Mrs. Tang looked Tang Mubai up and down with a worried expression. "So, why did she take a liking to you?"
It's not that she looked down on her own son, but given Shen Qi's credentials, Tang Mubai seemed quite out of his league. Shen Qi had built herself up from nothing, transforming her life through knowledge. She was a Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences, a top talent who would be highly regarded anywhere.
Her son… well, besides being good-looking, didn't have much to offer.
