Song Bocheng, however, was completely absorbed in his memories of the past and was completely unaware that the tension between Tang Li and Xi Leng had become quite high.

He completely forgot that he was supposed to give Tang Li a hard time, and instead spoke with an expression of extreme admiration:

"Yun Shu was a legend in our generation. It's just a pity that she was good at everything except choosing men."

If those words had been said in a different context, Tang Li would have definitely given him a piece of her mind.

But seeing Song Bocheng's infatuated expression, Tang Li temporarily forgave his old fanboy!

However, Xi Leng misunderstood Song Bocheng's meaning and added fuel to the fire:

"As expected of a mouse, it knows how to dig a hole."

Xi Leng deliberately erased the part about dragons begetting dragons and phoenixes begetting phoenixes, thinking he had been clever for once.

Before Tang Li could even retort, Song Beiye laughed first, leaning forward to look past Tang Li and at Huo Chenyu:

"Mr. Huo, so you like to eat rat meat? You have quite the taste."

They knew that Song Beiye was protecting Tang Li.

Huo Chenyu was not angry at all; instead, he echoed:

"President Song has the same tastes as me; he doesn't like bland food either."

Song Beiye immediately asked Xi Leng:

"Xi Leng, you probably don't like people who like to eat rat meat, right? After all, you've studied abroad, so your tastes must be more sophisticated than ours."

They even gave us a tongue twister.

Tang Li couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle to herself.

Although Xiling has lived abroad for many years, she grew up in China, so she can understand this metaphor.

She never expected that her words would make her three enemies.

If she says she likes it, wouldn't that be admitting that she's the same as Tang Li?

If she said she didn't like it, it would mean that she had no other intentions towards Huo Chenyu, who liked to eat rat meat.

This trap has put Xiling in a difficult position.

A family dinner, two worlds.

Song Bocheng was still talking eloquently:

"I remember there were so many people who liked Yun Shu back then, the competition was fierce. She was not only beautiful, but also had a likable personality, and she had a talent that even men couldn't match. Even after she got married, many people still stayed by her side. By the way, Miss Tang, have you ever met Old Man Sheng? Sheng Chaosheng from Shengrong Group? He was your mother's most ardent suitor when she was alive."

The topic finally veered away from Song Boying.

Song Boying breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression began to relax.

Tang Li laughed awkwardly:

I met Uncle Sheng in Tanzhou not long ago.

Song Bocheng put down his chopsticks and asked expectantly:

"Then you must have seen his full head of white hair, right?"

What a joke! You've seen the person, so how could you not have seen their hair?

Tang Li nodded perfunctorily.

Song Bocheng was extremely excited:

“He wasn’t like this before. There’s no history of gray hair in his family. His hair turned white overnight, six years ago, on the night your mother passed away. He was also sick for a long time. Speaking of his devotion, I have to add something.”

uh-huh?

Can I interrupt?

He stopped halfway through his sentence.

Out of curiosity, everyone had to focus their attention on him.

Song Bocheng, however, looked at Huo Chenyu with some disdain:

"My third brother just said that you look like Old Man Sheng. I didn't pay attention before, but after his reminder, I do have some resemblance. However, Old Man Sheng would never have given birth to a son like you."

Unable to conceive?

Could it be that he has a hidden illness?

Tang Li was just thinking that her previous idea of ​​going back to Tanzhou to test the waters was probably unnecessary.

Then Song Bocheng laughed heartily and said:

"He was a devoted lover throughout his life and disliked philanderers the most. If he had a son like you who is fickle and easily bored, he would probably have ten heads to worry about."

Sigh!

It turns out that Huo Chenyu was fickle and easily bored.

Tang Li lowered his head and chuckled again.

Huo Chenyu felt wronged, but he had no intention of defending himself.

On the contrary, Xiling hurriedly clarified for Huo Chenyu:

"Dad, Shen Yu isn't a womanizer."

Song Bocheng glared and puffed out his beard:

"How could he have gotten a divorce if he wasn't a womanizer? Miss Tang is such a good girl, and he doesn't even know how to cherish her. What kind of angel does he want?"

Well...

Tang Li raised his head, completely baffled.

Uncle Song...

Is this a compliment?

Why did the art style suddenly change?

Not content with just a few complaints, Song Bocheng added righteously:

"I think you're a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. You're deliberately taking advantage of Miss Tang's parents being dead. If Yun Shu were still alive, and you dared to bully her daughter like this, with your physique, you would have been torn to pieces long ago."

Mm-hmm.

Tang Li nodded hastily.

This meal was worthwhile; it unexpectedly brought out a huge fan of the mother, her number one admirer.

Uncle Song is practically a walking mouth substitute!

Upon hearing this, Xi Leng spoke out in defense of Huo Chenyu:

“Dad, you can’t blame Shen Yu for divorcing Tang Li. A woman like her, who is unreasonable and has a sharp tongue, is not good in any other way. It’s really unfair for Shen Yu to be with such a rude woman.”

Tang Li didn't bother to retaliate this time.

She sat and waited to see how Huo Chenyu would react.

Song Beiye beat him to it:

“Uncle, why don’t you work hard for another two years and find a school in China for Xiling to study for another two years? Otherwise, I feel that her words will tarnish the reputation of my Song family.”

Pfft~
