Chapter 34

Just Endure It and Itll Be Over Soon

Big Uncle Gong crossed his legs, took up his teacup, and swirled it a couple of times. He then said to Mama Gong, How can you drink Bamboo Leaf tea at a wedding? The color is extremely green and inauspicious.

Pfft. Mama Gong burst out laughing and laughed even harder when Gong Mo turned around to glare at her.

Big Uncle Gong said, You should have Big Red Robe tea. Its very red and auspicious!

Mama Gong rolled her eyes at him. Big Red Robe tea? Youre thinking too much. You can serve it when you have your own son-in-law!

Sheng Nanxuan added, Thats right. Big Red Robe tea is too expensive for me to afford. Once I have the money, Ill definitely buy some for Ma. But Ill definitely not be getting Big Red Robe tea for Big Uncle.

Why? Big Uncle Gong asked unhappily.

Its to differentiate our closeness in our relations.h.i.+p. I have to give Ma something different or no one would be able to tell how important Ma is to me.

Mama Gong was delighted and patted his shoulder. Youre so mature. I feel proud to have a son-in-law like you.

What is there to be proud of? Big Aunt pulled a long face. Does he even know how to speak properly? How could he tread on us just to please his mother-in-law? Were Gong Mos elders!

Sheng Nanxuan smiled lightly, yet there was no warmth in his gaze. I wouldnt be able to tell that youre Momos elder if you didnt say so. Im going to marry Momo and you should be offering blessings as her relatives instead of keeping silent and saying nothing. I find it funny that when you finally say something, all you had were complaints that the tea isnt good enough. What Big Aunt just said is even more impressive. You sounded like you could be Momos creditor!

You

Thats enough. Mama Gong interrupted them and said mildly, Nanxuan is a straightforward person. Everyone is family here, so dont take it to heart.

Big Uncle laughed stiffly. His att.i.tude wont help him out in society.

Thats right, said Third Uncle insipidly. Its better to have an easygoing att.i.tude out there, though well just look past it since were family.

Gong Mo said embarra.s.sed, The food is ready. Lets go eat.

She was getting a little angry now!

The waitstaff were delivering the food, yet Big Uncle and the rest of the relatives didnt even give them face, speaking so much nonsense here! Ultimately, they were discussing her wedding and they shouldnt say such uncomfortable things here! Everyone walked outside. Sheng Nanxuan rubbed Gong Mos back as though comforting her. She looked at him in surprise. Did he know that she was unhappy?

His gaze softened and he whispered, Just endure it and itll be over soon.

He only hated the fact that he couldnt kill them because they were Gong Mos relatives. Their presence only brought discomfort to both Gong Mo and Mama Gong.

However, once they went to the capital, it would be out of sight, out of mind. They only had to endure this for a little while longer.

During the meal, Gong Fei observed Sheng Nanxuan. In order to climb up the ranks of the entertainment industry, she was introduced to some wealthy second-generation heirs. This man didnt look worse than them. Could he have some sort of influence as well? How could Gong Mos luck be so good as to be able to first seduce Sheng Donglin and now a Mr. Perfect?

She lifted her winegla.s.s and asked languidly, Cousin, cousin-in-law, let me toast you in advance. May you have a happy marriage and live a long life together.

The pair took up their wine gla.s.ses as well and took a little sip. The wine served on the table was white wine but since pregnant women could not drink alcohol, the liquid in Gong Mos winegla.s.s had been swapped with water.

Upon putting her winegla.s.s down, Gong Fei said pointedly, Cousin has good taste. Each boyfriend of yours is more handsome than the next. I wonder if this one is as rich as the previous one.

She was implying that Gong Mo was vain.

Gong Mo and Mama Gongs faces changed and they glared at her.
