The twins exchanged a glance, and at the dinner table, Cheng Shuang praised with a beaming smile, "Sister Tingting is so beautiful, Uncle! Sister Tingting is so pretty, she's such a perfect match for my older brother! My older brother is the best older brother ever!"

Mr. Ren hosted a family banquet with only five guests. Perhaps he wanted his three cousins ​​to look at the Ren family with new respect. Ren Tingting suggested bringing Western food back to the family banquet, and the servants, imitating the style of Western restaurants, retreated to the corner after serving the dishes and stopped serving them personally.

So Cheng Shuang's seemingly naive and innocent remark in public only caused Ren Tingting's expression to change slightly, while Old Master Ren laughed heartily three times, saying, "Your sister Tingting is still young, and I still want her to stay at home for a few more years."

"I know!" Cheng Shuang said with a smile, "It's just like what my father told my eldest brother before he died: to find me a husband so that the three of us siblings can never be separated again!"

Master Ren was taken aback. He put down his knife and tilted his head, asking Long Wei solemnly, "Was your father's dying wish to find a husband for your sister?"

Longwei was so caught up in love that his mind was a bit muddled. He nodded happily, "Yes, yes, my dad loves my little sister the most!"

Master Ren's expression was slightly annoyed and complicated. He sighed with regret, "Your father, alas, was too hasty! These days, where can you find any good men willing to marry into a family?"

"Yes, yes!" Long Wei replied while pouring juice for Ren Tingting. "There are plenty of poor boys out there! My little sister is so beautiful, she'll surely find someone who likes her. If they're greedy for money, our Long family is rich. If they're greedy for looks, who's prettier than my little sister! Hehe, if they ever come into my house and try to bully my little sister, my brothers and I will definitely teach them why the clouds in the sky are black and the trees on the ground are scorched!"

Dragon Palace chuckled silently, "Isn't it all thanks to my electricity that they're using my power to bully others?"

After Long Wei finished speaking proudly, his brotherly mind, which had been clouded by love, finally calmed down a bit. He quickly turned to Ren Tingting and smiled ingratiatingly, "My cousin is beautiful too, the most beautiful in town!"

Ren Tingting pursed her lips and glanced at Cheng Shuang. She wouldn't really compare herself to an underage girl, but she jokingly retorted to Long Wei, "Yes, she's the prettiest in this town, but not the prettiest in all the surrounding towns!"

Longwei chuckled twice, picked up a piece of sliced ​​pork, and changed the subject, saying, "This piece of meat is quite delicious, but it's not fully cooked!"

Ren Tingting rolled her eyes without any attempt to hide it.

“I think you should reconsider your idea of ​​having your sister find a husband,” said Master Ren considerately. “As the elder brother, it’s inconvenient for you to live with your sister and her husband.”

"Uncle, I'm still young!" Cheng Shuang smiled and used the same words that Master Ren had used to shut her up, shifting her focus from that cunning old man to Ren Tingting.

"Sister Tingting, what do you think of my older brother?" The little girl pouted, seemingly complaining, "Even my older brother isn't this thoughtful as to refill my empty cup!"

Hearing this, Ren Tingting was quite proud, but she knew what she should and shouldn't say. "My older cousin is like my own brother. In the future, I will have a brother to love me, and Adian and Shuangshuang will have an older sister to love you. Isn't that good?"

The Ren family had been working in the city for a long time after leaving the town. If their business hadn't run into problems, they wouldn't have returned to this small town. So, whether it hurts or not, it's all just empty talk without any real feeling.

Although Ren Tingting had already politely declined, Long Wei was too stubborn to understand.

Cheng Shuang could only apologize to her cousin in her heart. The little girl smiled even more adorably and innocently, "But I'd rather have a sister-in-law who dotes on me! If my older brother poured water for my sister-in-law and they were all lovey-dovey, my parents would be so happy! Cousin, will you be my sister-in-law?"

The word "sister-in-law" sent a shiver down Long Dian's spine; he had suffered a lot of blood and tears because of those two words back then.

Of the five, only Long Wei smiled, revealing a set of white teeth, and looked at Ren Tingting with great interest.

Ren Tingting's face darkened further. She threw down her cutlery and huffed, "I have a few girlfriends who seem quite compatible with my cousin. If you really want a sister-in-law, I'll introduce them to him. That way, I'll have another cousin-in-law to dote on me—a win-win situation. To put it bluntly, who my cousin likes has nothing to do with me. Always saying these things, isn't that a bit inappropriate for a girl your age? If you're jealous of how good my cousin is to me, that's his own choice. Why are you targeting me? Does it mean that whoever my cousin pours water for has to become a member of your Long family? I'd rather never drink that water in my life! So old-fashioned! Do cousins ​​have to become husband and wife? Don't you even consider whether we're suitable for each other?"

"Tingting, how can you talk like that!" Old Master Ren said, feigning a scolding. "Your cousin's words have led to all this gossip!" Then, he looked at Cheng Shuang and said apologetically, "Don't mind your cousin, I've spoiled her!"

Long Wei immediately stopped laughing. He finally understood Ren Tingting's rejection. He lowered his head in dejection, looking utterly pathetic and no longer trying to curry favor. At the same time, he was saddened that his father had passed away so early. Otherwise, if someone treated Xi Mei so fiercely, his father would be the first to object.

Unfortunately, Master Ren is still their elder! He can't even give his younger siblings a hard time and leave, because he can't let people spread rumors that the Long family has no manners and no respect for elders.

Seeing that Long Wei's expression was not pleasant, but that he had stopped being a hopeless sycophant, Cheng Shuang breathed a slight sigh of relief. People say that children are all debts, and for her, having many older brothers and sisters was also a debt.

Part of the reason she did this was that the Ren family was about to have an ancestor turn into a zombie. Long Wei was called the security captain, but his martial arts skills were not as good as Long Dashuai's, and his relationship with Uncle Jiu was not as good as that of the guard captain. Later, in order to pursue Ren Tingting, he was tricked by Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai into performing an indecent dance in public. The security captain became the laughing stock of the town. Therefore, she hoped that Long Wei could stay out of this mess.

After leaving the Ren family residence, Long Dian, with a gloomy face, looked at the dejected Long Wei and bluntly retorted, "I didn't see what Master Ren was thinking. What's there to be sad about!"

Seeing that it was his youngest brother, who often disliked him and gave him electric shocks, who spoke up, Long Wei forced himself to stay alert and sighed, "You're still young, you don't understand!"

Long Dian's brow twitched twice, and he grinned, "You know, we almost got ripped off!"

Ren Tingting may not have intended to keep Long Wei hanging, but Master Ren's intentions were not so pure.

The Ren family's business failed, and they needed money to make ends meet. The Long family had just lost an elder, leaving behind Long Wei, a spoiled brat, and two underage siblings. Facing this old fox, they were completely at his mercy.

While Mr. Ren might not want Ren Tingting to marry Long Wei, who has no future, he might still be tempted by the Long family's wealth.

Cheng Shuang knew even more than Long Dian. Master Ren's ancestors had forcibly seized a feng shui master's burial plot, incurring the master's wrath, which was why the ancestor was now a zombie. Master Ren, a businessman not particularly close to the Long family, genuinely cared for the younger generation, but he also hoped the Long family would contribute financially.
