Chapter 33
No One Will Doubt He Is the Tall, Rich, Handsome Type
“It’s okay.” Gong Mo didn’t want to mention her supremely annoying relatives, so she cooked up an excuse. “Who would be happy giving their daughter away? I’m still so young. She hasn’t enjoyed enough of my filial piety.”
Sheng Nanxuan smiled, turned back, and said to Mama Gong, “Don’t worry, Auntie. Momo and I will take good care of you and let you live comfortably.”
Mama Gong laughed, “Alright, you just need to treat my Momo well. I’m still young. I can support myself. I don’t need you two taking care of me.”
The three walked into a private room in the restaurant. Big Uncle Gong and the others were not there yet.
The waitstaff poured tea for them and asked, “When would you like the dishes to be served?”
“We’ll tell you when the others arrive,” Sheng Nanxuan said, “For now, give the lady a plate of fruits and dessert.”
“Yes, sir.” Waitstaff placed the teapot down and stepped away.
Sheng Nanxuan picked up the cup of tea and pa.s.sed it to Mama Gong. “Auntie, have some to soothe your throat.”
Mama Gong smiled, took the cup of tea, and said, “When are you going to change the way you call me?”
Jumping at the opportunity, Sheng Nanxuan said, “If Mom doesn’t mind, I’ll change immediately.”
“Puufft” Gong Mo choked on it. How could there be such a shameless person like him?
Sheng Nanxuan grabbed her hand and squeezed it. Gong Mo wanted to pull her hand back, but his grip tightened and she couldn’t budge.
Mama Gong wanted to cover her eyes. What kind of people display their affection so openly? Just then they heard talking and footsteps outside
“This one, right? Why isn’t anyone here to receive us? What if we enter the wrong room?” Big Aunt said.
Mama Gong stood up, but Gong Mo quickly said, “I’ll go!”
Sheng Nanxuan held onto her. “What’s the rush? Just sit down.”
Mama Gong thought that he made sense, so she sat down. The door to the private room opened and Gong Big Uncle came walking in. Apart from those who were there last night, Gong Mo’s Little Uncle, Third Uncle’s son Gong Jin, and Little Aunt’s daughter, Tian Cheng, came as well.
“Yo!” Big Uncle Gong was slightly surprised to see Sheng Nanxuan. “This is Momo’s husband? He looks pretty handsome!”
Sheng Nanxuan stood up. “h.e.l.lo.”
Gong Mo quickly introduced them. He approached and greeted them. Everyone looked with odd expressions. They had thought that Gong Mo was pregnant with Sheng Donglin’s child and found a fallback guy, so they expected him to be quite unremarkable. To be blunt, he was probably a short, poor, ugly guy!
However, they never expected that he would be so handsome. He carried himself well. No one would doubt if she were to tell them he was the tall, rich, and handsome type of guy.
Everyone found it hard to adjust to the situation. The tactics they had prepared couldn’t be used anymore, so they could only sit and have tea.
Tian Cheng, who adored Gong Mo, quietly said to Gong Mo, “Your husband’s really handsome. Cousin, you’re so blessed.”
Gong Mo chuckled, “You’ll find your happiness too. Have you been busy lately?”
“The final exam is coming up so I’ll definitely be busy.” Tian Cheng whispered, “Do you think I should choose humanities or science?”
“Choose what you like. If you don’t like it, you won’t be very motivated to study later on.”
Sheng Nanxuan glanced at them and then at the others. This young lady seemed to be the only kind one out of the bunch. After quietly finis.h.i.+ng most of the tea in their cups, Sheng Nanxuan picked up the teapot and poured tea for everyone.
Although they didn’t treat Gong Mo very well, they were still her elders and relatives. He should still show them the appropriate respect. However, if they didn’t want to be respectful, then he wouldn’t play nice either.
Everyone was stunned by the air about him and thought he was some kind of big figure. Seeing that he was pouring tea for them, they thought there was no substance behind the way he portrayed himself. He definitely wasn’t anyone important. Didn’t all influential people point their noses to the sky and stand aloof from everyone else?
