Seeing the man coming out of Nan Xun’s room, the eldest cousin was stunned for a moment.
Tang Mo, who was wearing a blue leather jacket, had just washed his face. His fringe was wet and there were still beads of water on his face. He was handsome and clean, making people’s hearts flutter.
The eldest cousin had seen Tang Mo once in Nan Xun’s apartment. Even if she did not like Nan Xun, she had to admit that she had good taste in men.
This man had a wild and unruly handsomeness.
He walked to Nan Xun’s side and wrapped his hand around her shoulders. He looked down at Nan Xun and asked again, “What gigolo?”
an Xun looked up at Tang Mo. Sunlight shone in from the corridor window and landed on his well-defined face with unreal handsomeness. Her eyes softened. “My cousin said that she wants to introduce me to a blind
date. She’s in her forties and I heard that she’s quite handsome.”
As Nan Xun spoke, he looked at his cousin, whose expression was dark. “Cousin, take out the photo and let my husband take a look!”
Before her cousin could say anything, she felt the temperature around her drop.
The man’s handsome face darkened and his eyes landed on her cousin. “I remember that the last time you were in front of Xun’er’s apartment, you wanted her to go on a blind date. Why? Do you think her husband is
dead and can’t wait for her to remarry?”
Her cousin did not know Tang Mo’s identity, but when he glanced at her with that gaze, she felt a chill run down her spine. She did not dare to look up at him at all, let alone refute him.
“y-You’ve misunderstood. I was just joking with Nan Xun. It’s almost time to eat. I’ll go down first.” Her eldest cousin ran downstairs.
After her cousin left, Tang Mo tightened his grip on Nan Xun’s shoulders and said softly, “Is your cousin crazy?”
Nan Xun chuckled, her mood improving with his words. “Just treat it as if she’s crazy!”
He would not do strange things even if he was not sick.
Her cousin went downstairs. Seeing her dark expression, her aunt pulled her aside and asked, “Did you say it?”
Her cousin pouted. “Yes, but Nan Xun brought her husband over.”
“What?” Auntie was surprised. “Isn’t she divorced?”
“Who knows? That man just came out of her room. Who knows what they did last night? They’re really shameless. They didn’t even notice when they returned to the village!” At the thought that Nan Xun had found a
man who was much more handsome than her fiancé, her cousin felt slightly jealous.
Auntie saw through her cousin’s thoughts and pinched her. “Why are you competing with her? Can her husband compare to Ah Cheng?”
Nan Xun and Tang Mo came downstairs. Eldest Aunt glanced at Tang Mo and said softly, “That man looks like a freeloader.”
“Mom is right. Nan Xun is only fit to find a gigolo.”
Seeing that Nan Xun and Tang Mo had come downstairs, the auntie called everyone to the dining room for dinner.
Auntie went to the sofa in the living room and sat down, saying unhappily, “Ah Cheng went outside to take a call. Let’s eat together when he comes.”
With that said, he glanced at Auntie with disdain. “You’re really from a poor village. You don’t know the rules at all. Don’t you know who’s noble in the family today?”
Auntie’s voice was neither loud nor soft and everyone in the living room could hear her.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
Tang Mo glanced at his aunt, who was dressed up in jewelry. He raised his eyebrows and asked Nan Xun softly, “Who’s that nouveau riche?”
Hearing the words ‘nouveau riche’, the anger in Nan Xun’s chest dissipated. “My aunt.”
“Is their family crazy?” Tang Mo narrowed his eyes. “What do they do?”
“My Auntie’s family background is not bad. She’s in the seafood business and my uncle married into the family.”
Tang Mo scoffed. “Who’s the most noble person she’s talking about?”
“My cousin’s fiancé seems to have gone out to answer a call.” As Nan Xun spoke, a tall figure walked in from outside.
“I’m sorry, I have a lot of calls,” Meng Cheng said after coming in.
Her cousin walked to Meng Cheng’s side and held his arm. Her aunt was not as mean as before and looked like she was trying to please him. “Ah Cheng, as a big boss, of course you’re busy. We all understand.”
With that said, Eldest Auntie glanced at Tang Mo, who was beside Nan Xun, and pretended to make small talk. “Nan Xun, why aren’t you introducing your husband? What does your husband do?”
an Xun said, “My husband’s surname is Tang. He’s doing some business.”
Eldest Aunt said, “Do some business? Ah Cheng also does business. He’s an outstanding entrepreneur in Y City. I wonder if your husband has heard of him?”
Before Nan Xun could say anything, she heard Tang Mo say calmly, “I’m sorry, I’ve never heard of it.”
Eldest Aunt’s expression changed and she pursed her lips. “You’re just a businessman, so it’s not strange if you haven’t heard of it. Only our Ah Cheng is low-key and kind. That’s why he came to the remote village to eat
with everyone.”
an Xun gave a fake smile. “Auntie, we’re really honored. Do you want to go out and set off firecrackers before you welcome Mr Meng?”
Eldest Aunt could hear the sarcasm in Nan Xun’s words and glared at her unhappily. “You haven’t had a mother since you were young and no one taught you how to be a person. Eldest Aunt helped you out of kindness
and let your husband communicate more with our Ah Cheng. He might even be useful in his career in the future. But you treated your kindness like nothing!”
Tang Mo frowned and narrowed his eyes at Meng Cheng. “You’re Meng Yi’s distant cousin, right?”
Meng Cheng was stunned. “You know me?”
“Ah Cheng, you’re so famous in Y City. He might have long wanted to curry favor with you…” Before Eldest Aunt could finish, Tang Mo scolded her,” Shut up!”
Tang Mo was not a good-tempered person. No one could stand it when his aunt humiliated and ridiculed him time after time.
“y-You actually asked me to shut up?” Eldest Aunt was furious. Her facial features were distorted and she wanted to go forward and fight Tang Mo.
Tang Mo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at his aunt like she was a clown. His gaze landed on Meng Cheng again. “Meng Yi is my assistant.”
The moment Tang Mo finished speaking, Meng Cheng froze.
Although Meng Cheng was rather rich in Y City, he was not the richest man in the world. The richest man was being flattered by his aunt’s family. He was only slightly richer than ordinary rich people, but compared to
real nobles, he was still far from them. Otherwise, he would not have agreed when he found out that his eldest sister liked a villa worth five to six hundred million.
Meng Yi was the assistant of the president of Tang Corporation. Countless people wanted to curry favor with her. At the thought of the development of the capital, Meng Cheng wanted to get through to Meng Yi.
Meng Yi had a high status in the Meng family and Meng Cheng had to curry favor with him!.
