Guide to tame my villainous husbands-Chapter 1403: Waiting for the fall
"Why can it not be done?" Mo Qiang asked with a smile which wasn't a smile. She knew that the Ling family was trying to snatch Ling Che from her with all the bells and strings attached but she never thought that they were this scheming.
They not only wanted Ling Che to return to their family without paying a penny but they also wanted him to return with all the glory. MO Qiang suddenly felt sorry for Ling Che, she knew that the mer had a hard life but now she wondered what kind of life he had lived to suffer to have survived till this point.
His parents were selfish and cold hearted. If not for the fact that Ling Che awakened as an S class mecha chef, she wondered how these people would have treated him. Maybe they might have sold him off as soon as he turned an adult.
Just the thought alone made Mo Qiang frown with disgust.
She glanced at Ling's parents and added sternly, "I am being exceptionally kind to you by only asking your son to teach his skills to others. If not for the fact that I respected him, I would have asked him to go ahead and pay the penalty. Do not try to step on my bottom line."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Ling panicked, she knew that she was in the wrong for asking Mo Qiang to make one concession after another, but she was selfish to begin with. She wanted Mo Qiang to let go of everything and while she would be the one to keep all the benefits but now that she was asked to let go of something Mother Ling was not willing.
In her opinion, Mo Qiang was being extremely selfish by snatching the life blood of poor people like her.
"Miss Mo, I don't mean anything by these words but we are relying on—"
"Are you going to say that you are relying on Mister Ling?" Mo Qiang asked with a mysterious smile.
Though Mother Ling knew that there was something wrong with what Mo Qiang said, she still nodded instinctively. Seeing this Mo Qiang's smile turned even wider, she pursed her lips and then said to Mother Ling, "Just now you said that you did not want your son to work hard as you have made him work too hard all his life. But now you are saying that you are relying on him, Madam Ling. Please try to clarify the meaning of your words, because I am afraid that I cannot understand what you are trying to say."
"I am just—"
"You are just what?" Mo Qiang prodded as she raised a brow and questioned the woman. "You said that you wanted me to let go of Mister Ling, you even told me that you are willing to do anything for that. This is the reason why I suggested the condition and Mister Ling agreed, after all, you asked me to let go of him because you wanted to get him married right?"
"Once he gets married he will live a good life without worrying about anything. Since that is the case, his skills will only turn rusty, isn't it nice to have him impart his skills to others?"
Once Mo Qiang finished speaking, her words nearly ripped away the entire conversation. Mother Ling had no idea what to say to her, she could only stare at the woman in horror.
The way Mo Qiang spoke was as if she had already thought things through very clearly. Even the people around them didn't think that she was saying anything wrong. However, only Madam Ling knew that Mo Qiang was wrong! She was very wrong.

The reason Xu Tingfang was asking them to get her married to Ling Che was because the mer had a unique aura, if not why would that woman ask them to let her get married to Ling Che?
If Ling Che lost all his value then why would Xu Tingfang marry him?
Mother Ling was also a woman and knew very well that Xu Tingfang might like Ling Che but her benefits were closely attached to her affection. The reason she was trying so hard to get Ling Che was not because she truly liked him but because she knew that Ling Che could bring her to greater heights.
If not, why would Xu Tingfang look for a land where she could start a restaurant. Was it not because she wanted to continue Mo Qiang's legacy while using her recipes and at the same time use the reputation that Mo Qiang's restaurant had earned to make her new restaurant popular?
"Miss Mo, but my son—"
"The recipes are mine." Mo Qiang immediately reminded her. "I am only asking him to teach the recipes that I taught him as for the rest, he can do whatever he wants to do."
"Your recipes…" Mother Ling already had a bad feeling about this. Sure enough, she saw Mo Qiang raise a brow and look her in the eye.
"What? You think that you will be allowed to cook the recipes that I taught Mister Ling?" Mo Qiang chuckled. "I am sorry, since you want him to leave and break the contract I asked him to sign another contract in exchange for him leaving without paying a penny. The contract strictly stipulates that after he leaves the restaurant he cannot use my recipes."
Mother Ling staggered when she heard Mo Qiang's words. Her abacus had worked for so long, but she never expected that Mo Qiang would tie Ling Che's hands in such a way.
This woman — even though she was being pressured and cornered like this, she was still able to use her head much more clearly than the others. She was so efficient that it was a little scary.
Mo Qiang didn't care about what was going on in Mother Ling's head. Now that she was done with her job, she smiled and said to Mother Ling, "If that is all then I will take my leave. Don't worry, Madam Ling. Your son will be back home soon."
