Hearing her uncle’s complaints, Grandma’s expression darkened. “Since you think the village is full of mud, why didn’t you pay to build a road?”
Uncle looked at the old lady who was about to get angry and said with a smile, “Mom, I’m a live-in son-in-law. If you want to have a better life, you should ask your youngest son to pay for the road repair!”
Uncle lowered his head, his face red.
Uncle knew that Uncle could not take out the money and was humiliating him.
When Nan Xun saw this, she interrupted. “The village is going to do tourism development. At that time, the Tang Corporation will allocate money to repair the road.” With that said, Nan Xun seemed to have thought of
something and glanced at her cousin. “Uncle’s family wants to raise money to buy a villa for Sister in the capital. I don’t think they can fork out that money anytime soon.”
The moment Nan Xun finished speaking, Eldest Auntie and Eldest Cousin’s expressions changed.
The eldest cousin glared at Nan Xun angrily. “Don’t worry, I’ll buy that villa sooner or later. But I don’t know when you can buy it.”
Her cousin pouted in disdain. “When I came back from your apartment that day, I heard that you were divorced. Ha, you still dare to say that the person who appeared in your apartment that day was not a gigolo?”
“I don’t know how many women I’ve served with that devilish appearance!”
“I know Xun’er’s character. No one can slander her!” Grandma held Nan Xun’s hand and looked at her uncle and his family angrily. “If you’re here to cause trouble, please leave now!”
“Alright, alright. Stop talking to someone who’s worse than you in everything. Ah Cheng will be coming over later. You should touch up your makeup and let him see your most perfect side.” Her aunt looked down on
Nan Xun’s family and could not be bothered to look at them.
Nan Xun did not want to fight with Auntie and her family. They looked down on her and her family, but she looked down on them!
Nan Xun went into the kitchen to help her aunt cook. Her aunt glanced at her aunt’s family who were waiting in the living room. “Mr Tang is much nobler and richer than them, but he never puts on airs. That’s a real
rich person. Your aunt’s family, sigh…” Her aunt could not say anything mean and could only shake her head helplessly.
Auntie’s words were true. Although there were many nobles and rich families that Nan Xun had seen, Tang Mo’s family was unusually kind and low-key.
Although Tang Mo had a lot of scandals in the past, he would not look down on the poor. He had his own foundation and would do many good deeds every year.
Nan Xun and her aunt had made a few dishes when the sound of an engine sounded in the yard.
“It should be your cousin’s fiancé.” This was the first time her cousin’s fiancé had come, so her aunt naturally had to go out to welcome him.
Nan Xun was a little curious about this cousin-in-law she had never met before. She went out with her aunt.
A tall man got out of a Land Rover.
The man looked ordinary, but he was tall and wore a custom-made suit, looking extraordinary.
After all, he was the richest man in Y City. His aura was incomparable to ordinary people.
When Nan Xun and her aunt went out, her cousin was already holding her fiancé’s arm. Her aunt and uncle were also smiling obsequiously.
The eldest cousin gave Nan Xun a smug look, raised her chin slightly, and introduced proudly, “This is my fiancé, Meng Cheng. He often watches Y City’s financial news and should be no stranger to him.”
Eldest Aunt laughed. “You’re talking nonsense. How would they know what financial news is?”
Meng Cheng went forward and greeted the elders. When he saw Nan Xun, an uncomfortable glint flashed past his eyes. “You’re Ah Xun, right? I often heard your cousin mention you. I heard that you started your own
business in the capital. It’s not easy for a girl to work hard outside!”
Nan Xun smiled faintly. She did not like Meng Cheng’s expression and said distantly, “It’s alright.”
She finally understood why the richest man in Y City would like his eldest cousin, who was nothing but gold and jade.
This person was so perverted!
After the food was ready, Auntie did not let Nan Xun bring it to the dining table. “Go and call Mr Tang to eat!”
“Auntie, don’t always call him Mr Tang. It must be Xiao Tang or Ah Mo!”
Auntie shook her head. “Mr Tang is kind and doesn’t look down on nobodies like us, but I still respect him.”
Nan Xun sighed helplessly and ran upstairs.
Meng Cheng was answering a call in the yard. Eldest Auntie and Eldest Cousin were sitting in the living room. Seeing Nan Xun go upstairs, they pouted at the same time.
“T’ll talk to her about the blind date later. I showed Director Liu her photo. Although she’s divorced, she’s still satisfied with her,” Auntie said.
The eldest cousin said, “Director Liu is only 40 years old, right? He’s quite handsome. If his wife didn’t die, how would it be Nan Xun’s turn? She’s really lucky!”
“Why are you competing with her? Chairman Liu is still relying on Ah Cheng. You just have to coax Ah Cheng.”
Nan Xun went to the room upstairs.
Walking to the bed, she looked at the man who was still handsome after sleeping. She lay down beside him and pinched his nose lightly.
Tang Mo had not slept the entire night and was indeed extremely sleepy. The moment he fell onto the bed, he smelled her scent on the pillow and fell asleep very quickly.
He slowly opened his eyes after being pinched by Nan Xun.
She had just woken up and was still a little sleepy. Her eyes were clear and Nan Xun’s heart fluttered.
Before he could react, she had already hugged his neck and placed a kiss on his most beautiful eyes.
After a series of actions, she finally felt shy.
Seeing that he was staring at her with a charming smile in his eyes, she knocked her forehead against his and said softly, “Time to eat.”
Tang Mo leaned forward and pecked her lips. “I’ll go wash my face and go downstairs.”
Nan Xun nodded. “I’ll go down and help Auntie first.”
“Okay.”
Nan Xun left the bedroom and met her eldest cousin at the stairs.
The eldest cousin blocked Nan Xun’s way, took out her phone, and showed her a photo of a man.
“He’s quite handsome, mature and successful. You should want to know him!”
Hearing this, Nan Xun was stunned for a few seconds before she regained her senses and found it funny. “Cousin, is your fiancé short of money or is your family short of money? Are you that eager to sell me off?”
“Nan Xun, what are you talking about? I’m doing this for you out of good intentions. Don’t bite off more than you can chew and be ungrateful! This Director Liu is not someone anyone can climb up to. He only agreed to
see you because my mother and I helped you get through!”
Nan Xun said, “My husband will be here soon. Why don’t you ask him for his opinion first? If he agrees, there’s no harm in me meeting him.”
Her cousin laughed mockingly. “Did you find another gigolo to pretend to be your husband?”
“What gigolo?” Tang Mo walked over after washing his face..
