Chapter 1488 Drunken Truths Revealed

“Uh… how, how did you know…” The slightly tipsy Wang Cong couldn’t quite control his mouth. After hearing Lin Feng reveal his thoughts, he subconsciously asked Lin Feng a question.

Lin Feng simply gave Wang Cong a gentle smile. He was in no mood to explain anything to this opportunistic uncle at the moment.

“Wang Cong, do you have something to say to me?” Tang Zhendong furrowed his brows, glanced at his somewhat inexplicable cousin-in-law, and asked with some dissatisfaction, “If you have something to say, just say it. Why make such a fuss?!”

“This…” Wang Cong’s face showed a hint of embarrassment. He glanced at Lin Feng before giving Tang Zhendong a wry smile and saying, “Cousin, I… I actually don’t have anything major. Just wanted to talk to you about Chairman Wang’s child… Little Mei and I think that young man would be a good match for Tang Rou…”

“Bringing this up again…” Tang Zhendong frowned slightly. He understood the schemes of Wang Cong and Mr. & Mrs. Fang Xiaomei. Clearly, they had first distracted his mother, then tried to get Lin Feng drunk, and finally aimed to persuade him?! Is that Chairman Wang’s son really so exceptional? Worth all this enthusiasm from these two? I don’t believe it!

Tang Zhendong was now completely aware of the intentions of Mr. & Mrs. Fang Xiaomei; their visit today was purposeful, offering unsolicited kindness, a sign of ulterior motives. He didn’t believe his cousin was so eager to advocate for this marriage just out of goodwill. He wasn’t meeting Fang Xiaomei for the first time; he knew her full of calculations!

“There’s no need to discuss this any further!” Tang Zhendong said sternly to Wang Cong, “Tang Rou already has a boyfriend, do you understand?”

Lin Feng was somewhat surprised at this moment. He hadn’t expected Tang Zhendong to be so decisive in refusing to discuss the matter with Wang Cong… This indicated that Tang Zhendong truly acknowledged his role.

Under usual circumstances, upon hearing Tang Zhendong speak so firmly, Wang Cong would surely restrain his words and actions, avoiding any further offenses to Tang Zhendong. However, unfortunately, Wang Cong was now five or six parts drunk, essentially unable to control his thoughts, blurting out whatever came to mind.

“Cousin, don’t be so absolute…” Wang Cong waved his hand at Tang Zhendong, speaking earnestly, “Tang Rou is still in school, the Wang family isn’t in a hurry. This matter can be discussed slowly…”

Tang Zhendong sneered at Wang Cong, saying in a low voice, “So the Wang family knows about this too… Earlier, you claimed it was merely about introducing a suitable youngster from a friend’s family to Tang Rou. Now, how does the Wang family know about it? How could you say you’re not in a hurry… Do you think anyone can randomly scheme against my daughter, Tang Zhendong’s daughter?! Wang Cong, regardless of what benefits the Wang family promised you, I will give you and your wife one last chance. If you bring up this matter again, our familial ties will be severed!”

Wang Cong was shocked out of his drunkenness, stunned by Tang Zhendong’s anger…

Fang Xiaomei, who had been observing the situation at the restaurant, quickly rushed over with a worried expression after seeing Tang Zhendong’s anger, and anxiously said to Tang Zhendong, “Cousin, I’m really sorry. Wang Cong has a clumsy mouth and must have misspoken. Please calm down; I’ll make sure to reprimand him when we get home!”

“Humph…” Tang Zhendong shot a cold glance at Fang Xiaomei and said in a deep voice, “Little Mei, if you still regard me as your cousin, I hope you remember this: don’t plot against my daughter, or you’ll surely regret it!”

Fang Xiaomei’s face trembled; she didn’t know what Wang Cong had revealed to make things so bad. But at that moment, she could only nod repeatedly, meekly responding, “I understand, cousin…”

Then, amid the extremely awkward atmosphere, Fang Xiaomei’s family of three left the Tang Family.

Tang Zhendong still showed an angry expression, deeply looked at Lin Feng and Tang Rou, and stopped before speaking, then picked up a soup bowl and gulped down half a bowl of soup.

“Little Mei, even after all these years, she hasn’t changed a bit…” Grandma Tang spoke woefully, “Really treats us like fools! Sadly, she’s foolish herself and doesn’t even realize it. That bracelet she just showed me, I saw her wearing last year. She genuinely thinks I’m senile!”

Lin Feng’s brow moved; could it be that this aunt has some unpleasant past?

“Mom…” Tang Zhendong glanced at Lin Feng and then said faintly, “What’s in the past is in the past; let it go, please!”

“Hmph, I just wanted to remind Tang Rou…” Grandma Tang shook her head, glanced at Tang Rou, and said faintly, “Little Rou, remember, this aunt doesn’t have good intentions. Once, to obtain the money from the Tang Group, she actually instigated her best friend to deliberately seduce your father… Although this matter was mainly guided by her friend, she also bears some responsibility. Eventually, it led to a misunderstanding with your mother, who went to a foreign country…”

Lin Feng was taken aback; so this is why Tang Rou’s mother left Tang Zhendong, such a past… Indeed, this Aunt Fang is somewhat unscrupulous!

Tang Zhendong’s face displayed embarrassment; this matter was the biggest scandal in his life!

Back then, he could initially control himself regarding the incident, but after getting drunk once, he was inadvertently pulled into a hotel room by that woman, who cunningly took photos while he was completely unaware… When those disastrous photos appeared in Tang Rou’s mother’s possession, Tang Zhendong tried every way but couldn’t keep Tang Rou’s mother, and since then, the guilty Tang Zhendong devoted almost all his emotions to Tang Rou.

However, Tang Zhendong understands that although the woman was Fang Xiaomei’s classmate, Fang Xiaomei’s actual role wasn’t that significant. The biggest issue was his own carelessness giving that woman an opportunity, so despite having a grudge against Fang Xiaomei, he’s not entirely resentful of her.

At this moment, Tang Rou was somewhat stunned. After waking from the true aspects of the Lotus Sutra, the term ‘mother’ was almost entirely absent from her memory, and neither Lin Feng nor Tang Zhendong mentioned this person when helping Tang Rou recover her memory…

Suddenly hearing Grandma mention her mother, Tang Rou was filled with confusion. Her beautiful big eyes gazed at Lin Feng, and in a low voice, she asked, somewhat pained and helpless, “Lin Feng, so I have a mother?”

Lin Feng was slightly taken aback… He hadn’t expected Grandma Tang’s casual words to provoke such a large reaction from Tang Rou.
