Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“This time, it’s all thanks to mother-in-law.” In the car, Wei Zhiqian put on his seatbelt and let out a sigh of relief before they set off.
Wei Zhiqian could tell that women had the final say in the Tan family.
Not talking about Tan Mo. It can be seen that on the outside, Tan Wenci is in charge of making money. However, when it came to family matters, Xu Mingzhen had the final say.
If Xu Mingzhen had not persuaded him this time, Tan Wenci would not have agreed so quickly.
“I have to please mother-in-law well.” Wei Zhiqian said.
Tan Mo silently said that she had never seen him address her mother as his mother-in-law in front of her parents.
Look how happy he was addressing her that when there was no one else now. Look at how happy he was.
The group of people went back to the Old Mansion.
They had just gone there yesterday.
When they went there yesterday, the Tan family was elated.
Although their mood was a little different today, the Tan family realized that they were unexpectedly in a good mood.
They did not know if they had been brainwashed by the Old Madam calling them “In-laws” but they actually felt like they were going to the in-laws.
By the time the Tan family reacted, the car had already arrived at the entrance of the Old Mansion.
The Tan family members: “…”
The Wei family was one of the eight great families.
The Tan family could not compare to them in terms of brainwashing skills.
The Tan family members had mixed feelings as they parked the car and prepared to enter.
Unexpectedly, Wei Mingwen and his wife, along with Butler Zhu, were already waiting at the entrance.
Seeing the Tan family members arrive, Xiao Menghan called out affectionately, “Mingzhen!”
Then, she held Xu Mingzhen’s hand affectionately.
Xu Mingzhen was the most open-minded person in the Tan family regarding this matter.
At this moment, she was in a good mood and her face was flushed. She also smiled and said: “Why are you still waiting at the door? How long have you been waiting?”
“Not long.” Xiao Menghan did not care. “After you set off, Zhiqian told us that you were on the way. We estimated the time and came to wait.”
“Since we’re here to wait, we can’t be later than you guys.” Xiao Menghan held Xu Mingzhen’s hand and said as they walked, “We’re so happy that you guys agreed. Don’t worry, with so many of us watching, I’m sure that my kid won’t let Momo suffer in any way.”
Xiao Menghan led Xu Mingzhen in front, followed closely by Wei Mingwen.
At this moment, Wei Mingwen was also talking about the two children with Tan Wenci.
“If Zhiqian does anything wrong, you don’t have to be polite with him. He has been beaten up by the Old Madam many times here. He is very thick-skinned. You don’t have to hesitate to beat him.” Wei Mingwen also said to Tan Wenwen in an affectionate manner.
Tan Wenci: “…”
“They say that a son-in-law is half a son. Just treat Zhiqian as your own son.” Wei Mingwen said, “If there is anything, just instruct him to do it like how you would instruct your son.”
“Because of their work, the three of them are often away from B City. If you have anything you want them to do but it’s inconvenient for the three of them to help.” Wei Mingwen said, “At times like this, you can instruct Zhiqian to do it. Just treat him as your own son and order him around. There’s no need to be polite.”
Wei Mingwen and his wife had already thought it through. One was responsible for persuading Xu Mingzhen, and the other was responsible for strategizing for Tan Wenci.
From the main entrance to the main hall of the Old Mansion, the couple did not stop talking.
When the group arrived at the main hall of the Old Mansion, the two elders were also waiting at the entrance.
“Great-grandpa, great-grandma.” Tan Mo immediately rushed over.
The Old Madam caught her and smiled: “Why are you still calling us great-grandpa and great-grandma? It’s time to change the way you address us!”
Seeing that Tan Mo did not react for a moment, the Old Mister reminded from the side, “You still call us great-grandpa and great-grandma. Do you want to be separated from your uncle by generations?”
The corner of the Old Madam’s eyes twitched.
The Old Mister’s words were also awkward.
By addressing him as uncle, were they not separated by generations?
However, Tan Mo’s little face suddenly turned red and she reacted.
“That’s right.” At this moment, Xiao Menghan was holding Xu Mingzhen’s hand and caressing Tan Mo’s little head, “Are you not going to change the way you address them to grandpa and granny?”
Tan Mo’s mouth moved and her face turned red. She called out embarrassedly, “Grandpa, Grandma.”
The Old Madam quickly responded.
The Old Mister was beaming with laughter and he called Butler Zhu over to give red packets to the neighbors again.
Fortunately, the Old Madam stopped him, “Don’t be in such a hurry to give the red packets. There’s still the engagement. We haven’t prepared for the ceremony. If you give them in a hurry today, it won’t be lively at all.”
“Why don’t we do the engagement, just like how we did for Momo competition results yesterday. We’ll prepare it early. When the time comes, we’ll send out a team to play the gongs and drums. They’ll be dressed in bright red clothes, and everyone will be wearing bright red silk flowers. They’ll be playing gongs and drums while giving out red packets on the street. How lively!”
Hearing the Old Madam’s words, the Old Mister immediately felt that it made sense and nodded his head in agreement.
Wei Mingwen smiled and said to Tan Mo, “Look, you’ve changed your way of addressing the two elders. It’s time for you to change your way of addressing us.”
Tan Mo had been addressing them as grandpa and granny for twelve years.
“Uncle, Auntie?” Tan Mo called out tentatively.
To Tan Mo, this form of address was very unfamiliar.
When she called out, Tan Mo felt as if she was not herself.
“Eh?” Wei Mingwen’s sounded confused. “Why are you so distant from us by addressing us uncle and auntie? You already called the two elders grandpa and granny, so there’s no need to be so polite to us.”
Xiao Menghan and Wei Mingwen were indeed a very loving couple. They had a very good rapport.
Immediately after, she continued, “Just call us Dad and Mom.”
Tan Mo: “…”
Even if she dared to call them Mom and Dad, she was afraid that her parents would not agree.
Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen’s lips twitched uncontrollably.
Only now did they realize that the Tan family was too good at taking sides.
In just a short while, they had already made Tan Mo address them as Mom and Dad.
Then, would this lunch become an engagement party?
Thinking about it, Tan Wenci wanted to leave with his wife and children as soon as possible.
Dating was fine, but it was too early to get engaged!
Xiao Menghan did not want to make things difficult for the obedient little girl so she smiled and said: “Making Momo suddenly change the way she addresses us today, I’m afraid she won’t be able to adapt to it. It’s fine. We’ll just remind Momo all the time and she’ll get used to it.”
After saying that, she held Tan Mo’s hand and walked in.
Tan Mo whispered to Xiao Menghan, “I… I’ll address you that in private. If I change my way of address so quickly, others will say that I’m shameless.”
She could not say that it was because she was afraid that her parents would be unhappy.
If she said that, she was also worried that Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan would be unhappy with Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen.
She simply found such a reason.
When Xiao Menghan heard it, she smiled.
She thought about how the little girl had just gotten together with Wei Zhiqian, but she changed her way of address and called them Mom and Dad.
If outsiders heard it, they would indeed misunderstand that she was trying to curry favor with the Wei family and suck up to them.
