Chapter 1486 Little Schemes

Fang Xiaomei’s face darkened… She realized that this aunt wasn’t interested in learning about Wang Zheng at all; she was just teasing her!

“Auntie, I’m serious… I’m not joking with you!” Though Fang Xiaomei knew Grandma Tang was deliberately teasing her, she didn’t dare to show dissatisfaction. It wasn’t particularly out of respect for her elder, but more importantly, Fang Xiaomei couldn’t easily offend her cousin Tang Zhendong, a billionaire.

Grandma Tang’s expression tightened, and she said seriously to Fang Xiaomei, “I’m not joking either! Sexual orientation is not something to joke about. How can you set up a friend for Little Rou without knowing this? Hmph, who knows what you’re up to! Just shut it!”

Fang Xiaomei felt extremely embarrassed, her face burning. She opened her mouth, not expecting the old lady to be so stern, giving her no face at all. She knew the old lady was pretending not to have checked the background; in reality, she was chiding her for sticking her nose where it didn’t belong… Although Fang Xiaomei knew the old lady was being opportunistic, she couldn’t complain. After all, Director Liu was an old friend of hers and had promised her many benefits for making connections with the Tang Family. Fang Xiaomei was determined to try her best regardless.

Lin Feng and Tang Rou exchanged a smile, deeply admiring Grandma’s cleverness… With such a grandma protecting them, it was truly relaxing. Lin Feng didn’t even need to personally step in to humiliate anyone.

Grandma Tang smiled at Lin Feng and remained silent, happily chatting with Tang Rou again.

After a few seconds of silence, Fang Xiaomei returned to her husband Wang Cong’s side, whispering in low tones. The couple deliberately lowered their voices, thinking no one else could hear them, unaware that Lin Feng and Tang Rou, being at an innate level, heard their conversation clearly…

“Wang Cong… persuading this old lady is tough, but Tang Rou’s marriage isn’t solely up to her. Later, I’ll distract her, and you find an opportunity to talk to my cousin about this… I don’t believe my cousin will fancy this guy. Look at the gifts he brought; they’re all common stuff…”

“Little Mei, I’ve advised you… don’t rush, and Tang Rou is still in university, just a freshman. Being impatient won’t help…”

“Do you think I can afford not to rush? Her boyfriend is already visiting… If my cousin approves of this guy, what could I possibly do… Wang Cong, don’t tell me you’re not interested in those shares worth millions?”

“Sigh, who wouldn’t want the money, but we need to get it done… Alright, during dinner I’ll try to think of a way to get the guy drunk and then talk to our cousin…”

“Hmph, you rascal… I suppose you’re perceptive!” Hearing her husband reluctantly propose a practical solution, Fang Xiaomei finally relented, teasing Wang Cong with a smile. She prepared to find another opportunity to persuade Tang Zhendong.

Lin Feng and Tang Rou listened to the entire exchange between Mr. & Mrs. Fang Xiaomei, naturally understanding that they had ulterior motives, solely aiming for the millions worth of shares and planning to arrange a marriage between Tang Rou and Chairman Wang…

“What now?” Tang Rou glanced at Lin Feng with her beautiful eyes, her lips slightly pursed, asking how to deal with her cousin-in-law.

To be honest, Lin Feng wasn’t particularly angry at this moment. The main reason was he didn’t take Mr. & Mrs. Fang Xiaomei seriously, knowing they couldn’t succeed, hence his emotions were hardly affected.

Therefore, Lin Feng merely gave Tang Rou a comforting look, signaling her not to worry about it, assuring her he could handle it.

Of course, Tang Rou trusted Lin Feng, so she continued to chat with Grandma without showing any concern.

Soon, Tang Zhendong came down from upstairs, having arranged his gifts for his mother. Seeing his cousin and Tang Rou had returned, he smiled enthusiastically, saying, “You’re finally here, I’ve been waiting to eat until my stomach started growling. Now that everyone is here, let’s eat!”

Once Tang Zhendong spoke, everyone naturally moved to the dining room to start the meal.

During the meal, most people behaved normally, while the scheming Mr. & Mrs. Fang Xiaomei kept exchanging looks, urging each other to act…

Lin Feng and Tang Rou watched their expressions, yet they had no reaction, treating it as if they were watching a comedy.

Eventually, Tang Zhendong noticed his cousin and cousin-in-law didn’t stop whispering, couldn’t help but ask, “Little Mei, Wang Cong, can’t you eat properly? What are you muttering about?”

Upon hearing Tang Zhendong, Grandma Tang slightly raised her head, casting a glance with a faint smile at Fang Xiaomei and Wang Cong, casually saying, “Zhendong, your cousin is quite enthusiastic, she just mentioned that a friend has a son who can’t find a daughter-in-law, planning to introduce him to Tang Rou as a boyfriend… hehe…”

After listening to his mother’s words, Tang Zhendong’s face instantly darkened. Introducing a boyfriend to Tang Rou? This Little Mei was too idle, Tang Rou’s boyfriend was sitting right here eating with you…

Wait a minute, Tang Zhendong suddenly realized, though the cousin’s introduction for Tang Rou borders on meddling, his mother’s reaction was far too intense. Ideally, the guy Little Mei dared to mention wouldn’t be too bad, so how did he become someone who “can’t find a daughter-in-law” in his mother’s words? Could it be that within just a few minutes, his mother has already approved of Lin Feng and taken his side?!

Hiss… Realizing this situation made Tang Zhendong feel a headache; Lin Feng really was annoying!

Upon the cousin’s question, Fang Xiaomei knew the time was ripe, and finally acted. She smiled, directly shifting the topic, “Cousin, this isn’t what Wang Cong and I were discussing… I went on a business trip to the Yunmian border a few days ago and was introduced to an emerald jade bracelet, not sure if I’ve been deceived. I know Auntie is an expert and wanted her to take a look for me…”

“An emerald jade bracelet?” Grandma Tang heard this and showed a hint of curiosity, “Hmm, after dinner I’ll take a look… I doubt you bought anything good.”

Fang Xiaomei displayed a hint of defiance… In fact, she hadn’t been on any business trips lately, and the jade bracelet prepared for Auntie was truly an expensive top-grade item, not afraid of Auntie’s nitpickiness. Her aim was merely to divert this meddling Auntie.

Grandma Tang’s appetite was modest, and she soon finished eating. Fang Xiaomei purposely brought out a beautifully crafted box, escorting Grandma Tang to the living room while continuously signaling to her husband Wang Cong.
