Chapter 972
Zhang Yang was feeling a bit down, so he decided to take a break by heading to the hotel pool area.
Coincidentally, he ran into Xu Mengyan and her mother there.
Mrs. Xu was dressed quite boldly, wearing a bikini that made her already slender figure even more alluring.
On the other hand, Xu Mengyan was dressed rather conservatively.
Zhang Yang came over to remind them, "This kind of public pool isn't suitable for pregnant women, so you better not go in the water."
Hearing Zhang Yang's voice, Xu Mengyan was pleasantly surprised.
"Why are you here? Did you come here specifically to find me?" Xu Mengyan asked happily.
"I was just wandering around and didn't expect to see you guys here," Zhang Yang replied with a smile.
"It seems like we have quite the connection, but don't worry, I wasn't planning to go in the water. It's just that my mom insisted on coming, so I came along. I'm dressing like this just to sunbathe properly here."
"Sunbathing should be fine, right, Doctor Zhang Yang!"
Xu Mengyan seemed to regain her previous confidence, clearly more optimistic, and Zhang Yang was also happy to see that.
"Sunbathing is fine, it's good for getting some calcium."
"Come sit, would you like something to drink? I'll order for you," Xu Mengyan invited warmly.
At this moment, Mrs. Xu said somewhat disgruntledly, "Zhang Yang, do you know my daughter is a married woman? Don't be so clingy, there's nothing for you here."
Clearly, Mrs. Xu didn't believe in coincidences or notions of being fated.
She thought Zhang Yang was the type of playboy who found out about Xu Mengyan's whereabouts and followed her here.
"Auntie, you can joke about food, but you can't joke about words. And by the way, be careful with what you wear; there are all types of people here. Look, those foreigners over there are all staring at you."
"As a married woman, you should be a bit more mindful. Don't let someone take advantage, giving your husband a green hat."
Zhang Yang retorted to Mrs. Xu without any courtesy, and his words indeed hit hard, leaving Mrs. Xu quite upset.
"Daughter, listen to what he's saying? I'm exercising my freedom to dress as I like, not running around naked, and this is swimwear, isn't it?"
"Do you think everyone is as lecherous as you?"
Xu Mengyan had actually mentioned before that her mom should dress more decently, not because the swimwear was inappropriate, but because it was simply too sexy.
But Xu Mengyan understood her mom's dressing style, which had always been on the sexy side her whole life.
So she knew that no matter how much she tried to advise her, it wouldn't work.
But despite everything, Xu Mengyan wasn't aware that her mom had someone else outside.
"Zhang Yang, why don't you stop for now, this is a public place, there's nothing wrong," Xu Mengyan didn't want Zhang Yang to argue too harshly with her mom.
For the sake of Xu Mengyan, Zhang Yang decided not to argue further.
"I'll go for a swim, you two take your time chatting."
Zhang Yang came here to swim anyway, and this pool was quite large, like a standard racing pool.
He did some warm-up exercises and then dove into the water.
Zhang Yang had learned freestyle swimming back in college, so he was swimming quite comfortably.
And he wasn't slow; those who noticed Zhang Yang were a bit surprised. Though his speed couldn't match professional athletes, it wasn't far off either. But how could they know Zhang Yang wasn't even using his full strength?
However, this display looked to Mrs. Xu like he was trying to show off his manliness to Xu Mengyan.
"Men just love to flaunt, having a bit of skill and afraid others won't notice," Mrs. Xu said sarcastically.
"Mom, what's with you? Why do I feel like you're acting like a resentful woman? Zhang Yang didn't do anything to you," Xu Mengyan said somewhat helplessly.
Ever since Guo Qiyu took advantage of her, her mom's personality had become quite extreme, as if no good men were left in the world.
Looking at everyone with a skewed perspective, this wasn't a solution.
Facing Xu Mengyan's persuasion, Mrs. Xu said irritably, "All flycatchers are the same; this Zhang Yang, with so many beauties around him, must be full of tricks."
"Even though you are carrying his child, you can't treat him as a good person."
"Who you want to have a child with is up to you; I won't interfere, nor will I oppose you keeping the child."
"But we can't let the child have an irresponsible, or even an immoral father."
Xu Mengyan sighed, "Mom, I've told you, Zhang Yang isn't that kind of person. Though there are many women around him, he is emotionally genuine, unlike Guo Qiyu."
"How is he different? They seem the same to me. Do you believe that if given a chance, he would show his true colors?"
Xu Mengyan's face changed, looking cautiously at her mom, "What are you planning? Don't do anything rash."
"Hmm, today I'll test him for you, to see if he's just as beastly as Guo Qiyu."
"Didn't you see how he was staring at my body just now when he came over?"
"I think his gaze was similar to Guo Qiyu's, and then he made a point of saying there were perverts watching me. I think the real pervert is him."
"You watch closely now; make sure you see clearly." This chapter was made possible by the MV_LEMPYR community.
With that, Mrs. Xu really jumped into the pool, ignoring how much Xu Mengyan shouted for her to come back.
Xu Mengyan just watched as her mom swam towards Zhang Yang's direction.
What's she trying to do? Seduce Zhang Yang actively?
Xu Mengyan was a bit angry; could a mother really do something like this?
Convinced from the start that Zhang Yang was just like Guo Qiyu, no matter what.
However, suddenly Xu Mengyan noticed those foreign men from earlier, seemed to be also swimming in her mother's direction.
And they were fast; at this rate, her mom might be surrounded by them before reaching Zhang Yang.
Indeed, in no time, Mrs. Xu was surrounded, and it happened in the middle of the pool.
It was quite noisy around; even shouting wouldn't do any good for Xu Mengyan.
She couldn't possibly get in the water herself, so she could only pin her hopes on Zhang Yang.
Mrs. Xu was forced to surface, intending to get others to step aside, but upon surfacing, she saw that they were all burly foreign men, some even black.
Mrs. Xu was startled, and immediately on guard, "What do you all want? Get out of my way; this isn't a place for you to fool around."
As the wife of a wealthy businessman, Mrs. Xu still maintained some presence.
Unfortunately, these people didn't care, one of them suddenly dove underwater, and the next moment, that scanty piece of swimwear was tossed into the air.
