She Only Cares About Cultivation

Chapter 1468: Chapter 1021: Full-time Mother’s Counterattack 29 (five thousand)_3

Don’t be fooled by how readily Cao Ying agreed; that was just because she didn’t want to listen to her husband nagging in her ear. Only she knows how bitter or sweet her life really is. She’s already recorded videos of how the old lady treats her. She hasn’t complained yet only because they’re not living together, so she can still tolerate it. But if one day they do move in together and expect her to take care of her, she’ll definitely have something to say.

And as for her father-in-law, that old lecher—Cao Ying really doesn’t even want to talk about him, it’s just too disgusting!

To be honest, she must have been blind back then to marry a man like Wen Qiang, but now that the child is born, what can she do?

She’ll just muddle through, and if it really becomes unbearable, they’ll talk about it then!

Anyway, she has to coax her husband, and when necessary, she even has to coax the old couple. Once she really can’t hold on anymore, she’ll just take her son and leave.

Qi Qi is a great example. She paid extra attention and installed cameras at home. It was exactly for this reason—so she could collect evidence in her favor when needed.

Qi Qi has no natal home she can return to, but it’s different for her. She’s an only child; is she really afraid she’ll have nowhere to rely on?

The reason she’s unwilling to have a second child is precisely this man’s family; they just don’t give her any sense of security.

Qi Qi has no idea that because of her, the Wen Family is quarreling every few days.

Of course, even if she knew, it wouldn’t be her problem, because right now she’s busy preparing to welcome her son home.

In mid‑August 2031, Qi Yang returned to the country. Qi Qi didn’t go pick him up because they had to go back to the training center first. Once the time was confirmed, she would go pick him up then.

By now, Qi Qi is no longer just an online celebrity. Philanthropist, inspirational star, internet personality, champion Mom—she’s got all kinds of titles hanging over her head. Wherever she goes, people stop to stare and ask for photos. So now she has to go out wearing a mask and a baseball cap; that’s become her standard gear. She doesn’t feel safe without them.

Of course, Qi Yang has also become the target of a lot of his teammates’ jealousy and envy. At first, nobody knew he had a Beijing Household registration, since his ID Card doesn’t start with 110, and nobody knew his Mom was the internet celebrity Qi Qi. It wasn’t until he won the championship and news came down like a tidal wave that they realized this handsome, steady, hardworking kid by their side was actually the son of a major influencer.

The kids from Beijing live close by; the ones from out of town have to fly home after everything wraps up.

No matter how they get back, the kids are exhausted. Their school break is only half a month, and like most kids, they have to go back to class when school starts.

The school Qi Yang attends is right near the training center. The sports-education center has hired professional teachers to teach them academic subjects. During training breaks they have classes all day. Once normal training resumes, they only have classes in the morning, and they still have to train in the afternoons and evenings.

This setup will continue at least through high school.

Because once you’ve become a world champion, you qualify to study at top universities in the future, but the premise is that you have the ability to keep up with their coursework and graduate smoothly.

So necessary academic study is absolutely essential, especially for talents like Qi Yang who’ve won world championships; they need to put in even more effort.

When Qi Qi went to pick up her son, she also gave three of his teammates a ride to the airport. Because Qi Qi looks so young, they couldn’t bring themselves to call her "auntie." With their sweet mouths, they insisted on calling her "big sister," and even told Qi Yang to call them "uncle," which amused Qi Qi to no end—of course, that’s if you ignore the dark look on Qi Yang’s face at being taken advantage of.

On the way back, she looked at her son with a flood of mixed feelings.

"As your mother, I’m increasingly noticing you heading down the road of becoming super handsome, never to return. How did you manage that? Is it because all your teammates are tall and handsome, so they kind of ’converted’ you too?"

Qi Yang saw through it but didn’t call her out: "Mom, my teammates are easy on the eyes, right?"

Qi Qi nodded vigorously. "Not only easy on the eyes, they even cleanse the soul. Turns out all the handsome ones really are handed over to the country. It’d be one thing just to have good bodies, but they’re actually good‑looking too. When your swim team recruits people, do they factor in looks as well? Does that score bonus points?"

Qi Yang couldn’t help laughing and crying. "Mom, I’m only thirteen. Can you not act like some crazed fangirl?"

Qi Qi curled her lip. "Tch, not cute at all. Aren’t you athletes supposed to be pretty loaded? Why don’t you just drive yourselves?"

"What do you mean ’we athletes’? How many of us are actually rich? That’s not what we’re fighting for, okay? We’re usually exhausted like dogs; who’s got the energy to think about anything else? On a plane you can at least sleep for a bit. Why would they torture themselves driving? Their homes are all really far away; obviously flying is more convenient!"
