But he canât let anyone find his nervousness, especially Wuyou. Wuyou knows him so much and can find his feeling from his eyes. Luckily, on the third day of the lunar New Year, Bai Susu invites Fang Diandianâs family to have a meal together. People are buzzing around and no one pays attention to him.
âWhy donât your aunt come?â Tang Duo asks Fang Diandian secretly.
Fang Diandian plays with her daughter who is climbing out of the baby chair. She pouts, âSheâd like to come. But Dad stops her.â
âDoes she still contact with the relative you mentioned before?â
Fang Diandian feels disgusted about it. A few months ago, her aunt brought back a girl somewhere. The aunt tells them that the girl is her cousinâs daughter and goes to university in Yanjing this year.
Then Dad Fang thinks for a long time and finally remembers the auntâs cousin who died soon after marrying. Besides, the auntâs cousin is not close to him. Dad Fang just saw this person a few times when he was young.
âYou donât know. My aunt treats the girl as her own daughter!â Fang Diandian says jokingly, âShe said that the girlâs father didnât care about her after remarrying and the girl had a hard time!â
âSo my aunt wants to care about her after the girl finally attends a college in Yanjing,â Fang Diandian rolls her eyes and complains, âItâs her business to take care of that girl. But she canât ask my family to take responsibility for it!â
Tang Duo asks in shock, âDoes she want that girl to live in your house?â
âHow dare she!â Fang Diandian snorts, âShe knows itâs impossible. We live here these days. When I came back yesterday, I found many things disappeared, including clothes, jewelry and cosmetics.â
âDid she give them to that girl?â Tang Duo feels incredible. How shameless she is.
Fang Diandian shakes her head angrily, âYes! When I questioned her, she replied confidently that I didnât use them and should help Meijia who was our relative because it was hard for her to work to earn a living while studying in university.â
âWhy doesnât she help Meijia with her own things?â Fang Diandian rages, âWell, Meijia is that girlâs name. She is called Dai Meijia. Dad believed she must study well so that she could go to university in Yanjing. So he still wanted to help the talented girl at the beginning!â
But the truth is that Dai Meijiaâs university isnât formal. Itâs just a private college that anyone can study there as long as they spend money.
âDad also thought that Meijiaâs intention was not bad because she was willing to learn,â Fang Diandian wipes Tiantianâs mouth and feeds her a mouthful of egg soup. Then she says, âBut Tang Cao found that her university wasnât good among private universities.â
Finding his father-in-law is softhearted, Tang Cao goes to see and investigate the university in person.
âIn fact, it doesnât need to investigate because itâs easy to find the information on the Internet,â Fang Diandian says, âThe tuition of that university is the most expensive among private universities but its educational quality is the worst. Itâs expensive because the conditions, dormitories, canteens and other environment are very good.â
So most of students there have a rich family and are unable to be admitted to a college. Their parents donât want their kids to suffer and just consider the conditions of environment instead of educational quality.
âDai Meijiaâs father also takes care of her and gives her 100,000 yuan when she goes to university. Itâs said that her fatherâs family condition isnât good and her father has to raise another two kids. Itâs not easy for him to give her so much money.â
Tang Duo nods her head after hearing, âThe tuition of normal private university is about 10,000 yuan a year. Even if she only has 50,000 yuan, itâll be enough for her to learn four years!â
âRight! Itâs what normal people will think about!â Fang Diandian laughs angrily, âBut she chooses the most expensive university whose tuition per year is more than 30,000 yuan. She canât study there for more than two years because she just has 100,000.â
âMaybe she wants to have a rich boyfriend,â Tang Duo is clear about it, âShe is really ambitious to marry into a rich family.â
Fang Diandian says in a very disgusted tone, âWhen she had dinner in my house yesterday, she dared to ogle at Tang Cao. I was so shocked.â
âWhat are you muttering about?â Tang Cao takes Tiantianâs spoon from Fang Diandian and says, âLet me feed her. You can go to eat now!â
Tang Duo chuckles and has a look at her unlucky younger brother. She says, âWe just talked that you were ogled by a girl.â
âUghâ¦â Tang Cao pretends to vomit and says, âDonât mention that. Itâs disgusting.â
As a result, Dad Fang doesnât ask the aunt and Dai Meijia to come to the party of two families today. But these two people are really shameless!
âMiss Tangâ¦â In the middle of the meal, the manager quietly comes in and whispers to Tang Duo, âThere are two women outside saying that they are Mr. Tangâs relatives.â
The restaurant belongs to the Lang Consortium. The manager is really confused because the two women donât behave like people in this circle. So he comes in to ask for her instructions.
âDo you want them to come in orâ¦?â
âDoes your aunt-in-law come?â Tang Duo asks Tang Cao.
Tang Cao is shocked. But when he is about to stand up, the aunt and Dai Meijia have rushed into the private room.
âAlas! Weâre late!â Fang Chunrong shouts impolitely and quickly walks close to Bai Susu to hold her hands, âAre you Diandianâs mother-in-law? Well, I know that you are two years older than me. But you look so young!â
People of the Fang Family all look angry. Fang Diandian trembles because of angry. Tang Cao hurries to comfort her by patting her back.
âMiss Tangâ¦â The manager is so surprised. After seeing the situation, he finally knows that he canât let them in.
Tang Duo raises her hand and says, âItâs fine. You can leave now.â
Hearing Tang Duoâs words, Fang Chunrong turns to look at her and is stunned soon.
âWellâ¦â She always thinks that the most beautiful lady of the Tang Family in Yanjing must look like a young married woman with pretty skin because Tang Duo has been over 30 years old.
In fact, Tang Duo looks like a girl as if she is in her twenties! Seeing Bai Susu who looks younger but is older than her in age, Fang Chunrong feels so unfair and jealous.
Is it so good to be rich? Can these rich people look young forever?
âIs this Hua? She is so beautiful!â Fang Chunrong greets them as if she is very close to them.
Tang Duo smiles, âMadam, who are you?â
Fang Chunrong is stunned for a moment. She looks at Dad Fang and says, âCousin, introduce me! We are family.â
âAuntâ¦â Dai Meijia secretly pulls her sleeves.
Fang Chunrong shouts, âI almost forgot. Come on! Meijia, greet everyone,â She introduces, âThis is my niece. Although she is only my relative, we keep each other company now and are closer than others!â
âFang Chunrong!â Dad Fang questions her angrily, âCome on. Who invite you to come here?â
Dad Fang is angry and ashamed. He is not afraid of losing his face. But what about his daughter? How will people of the Tang Family think of her?
âMy cousin, why are you so angry?â Fang Chunrong is dissatisfied to say, âHow will your son-in-lawâs family think of you? Do you want to bully your poor relatives?â
Then she glances at Bai Susu and Tang Yao proudly. This is her intention to come here! The Tang Family will think her cousin, Dad Fang, selfish without caring about relatives if he dares not to respect her.
Hum! If she cries and blames him, she will probably ask to live in the Fang Familyâs house. Her cousinâs son-in-law has bought a villa. They donât need to live together with her and itâs convenient to live separately.
She completely forgets that the house belongs to her cousin. Unlike her, Dai Meijia wants to see people of Tang Family who are Yanjingâs celebrities, when she entourages Fang Chunrong to come here. So she can make a boast to others.
Besides, she thinks she is young and pretty. Mr. Lang may like her appearance.
But she doesnât dream it again after seeing Tang Duo. However, like Fang Chunrong, she feels more and more jealous.
âDiandian, take kids to the bathroom!â Tang Duo suddenly says.
Fang Diandian is glaring at Fang Chunrong and Dai Meijia angrily at this time. After hearing Tang Duoâs words, she realizes that itâs not proper for kids to see what happens next.
âLetâs go!â She stands up and takes three kids out who want to stay here.
Tang Cao is afraid that she canât care about three kids alone. So he also goes out, holding Tiantian.
When passing by Dai Meijia, neither of them take a look at her.
Dai Meijiaâs smile disappears suddenly although she wants to greet kids with a beautiful smile. When she tries to say something, Tang Cao gives her a cold eye. She is so scared that she forgets her words. When she finally realizes what happened, he has already left.
âAre you a poor relative?â Tang Duo asks smilingly after the kids leave.
Fang Chunrong is immediately excited. Patting her thighs, she begins to say how poor she is. She complains that she is alone and her only relatives, Dad Fangâs family, treat her badly.
âI think what Uncle Fang did is right!â But Tang Duo says.
Fang Chunrong is talking excitedly. Suddenly, she opens her mouth in shock after hearing that.
âHua⦠Hua, what do you mean?â
Sitting next to Tang Duo, Lang Ruoxian takes a look at her casually and asks, âAre you familiar with us?â
âWhat?â
âDonât call my wifeâs nickname if you are not familiar with us. You can call her Mrs. Lang or Miss Tang,â Lang Ruoxian looks at her and says, âBesides, since you are a relative, youâd better leave here because we donât welcome poor relatives.â
Fang Chunrong stutters, âYou⦠No⦠How can youâ¦â
âMadam, did you hear my husbandâs words?â Tang Duo claps her hands and the manager who waits outside the door secretly all the time comes in with two guards.
âTake them out politely! Anyway, they are our relatives somewhere.â
Dai Meijia is as shocked as Fang Chunrong. Donât rich people care about their faces? Why do they treat them like this? Dai Meijia sees Tang Duo wiping her mouth elegantly with a napkin.
She wants to explain but doesnât know what to say.
âCousin!â Fang Chunrong screams, âHow can you let her treat me like this?â
Dad Fang sneers, âThen what? You should leave my house with your luggage soon. I donât want to see you when I come back. If you dare to steal my things, I will call the police. Besides, return what you stole from Diandian.â
