Marrying the Wrong Husband, Yet Becoming the Enviable Lady of a Wealthy Family

After losing her memory, Mo Xiaotuo enters a flash marriage to continue managing her property but mistakenly marries Luo Chen instead. They agree to divorce after one year. Not long after the weddi...

Chapter 46 You third branch of the family are so poor that you can't even afford a small gift for the first meeting.

"Alright, Kaiyue already said he'll attend next time. Look, the eldest brother's back too." Old Master Luo, afraid his wife would lose her temper in front of so many people, quickly pointed to the door.

A man in a sharp suit strode across the threshold and walked in.

The eldest son of the Luo family, Luo Zeyuan, arrived. His aura was very powerful as soon as he entered. His originally serious face immediately broke into a smile when he saw his grandparents. He stepped forward and politely greeted the elders: "Grandpa and Grandma, Third Uncle and Third Aunt."

"Alright, alright, everyone's here, let's eat!" The old man of the Luo family looked at his eldest grandson with great affection.

Everyone's been busy these days, and it's been a long time since we've had a family dinner. We'll deal with those troublemakers who didn't show up later.

Luo Zeyuan turned back to Achen and his wife. He was very grateful to Achen. If Achen hadn't married a wife despite the old lady's anger, he would definitely not have peace now.

"Xiao Tuo, this is your older brother," Luo Chen introduced.

"Hello, brother, I'm Mo Xiaotuo," Mo Xiaotuo greeted politely.

Luo Zeyuan handed the gifts he brought back to Mo Xiaotuo: "Big brother has been quite busy lately and has not been able to take care of things properly. Please forgive me, Achen and sister-in-law."

Mo Xiaotuo paused, glanced at Mr. Luo, and only accepted the gift after seeing him nod, saying, "Thank you, brother!"

The fifth and sixth brothers felt a chill in their hearts when they saw that their eldest brother had brought a gift for their third sister-in-law.

This was their first meeting, and they had indeed acted hastily. They shouldn't have listened to their mother's nonsense. Both of them could tell that their third brother seemed to really like their sister-in-law; they were in for trouble.

The two looked at each other with long faces, not daring to utter another word, trying their best not to be invisible.

Dinner was served, but because the eldest son, Luo Kaiyuan, and his wife, Huang Silan, were abroad negotiating a very important deal, and the second son, Luo Zeqian, and the fourth son, Luo Xihan, were absent, there weren't many people present today.

To accommodate Luo Chen, the dishes on the table tonight were all home-style cooking, which made Grandma Luo particularly happy. With Grandma happy, Grandpa's smile also brightened considerably.

Throughout the meal, the old man and woman were concerned about Mo Xiaotuo's studies and health, as if everyone else didn't exist.

At first, Mo Xiaotuo was very reserved, but as she gradually felt the care of the two kind old people, she opened up and talked to them about how to plant the beans, watermelons, and flowers.

When she lived with her grandmother in the countryside, they used to grow fruits and vegetables, as well as many flowers and plants, all around the house.

The old man and woman listened with great interest. Long after the banquet ended, they were still asking Xiao Tuo about how to plant those flowers and plants, until Luo Chen couldn't bear to watch any longer and reminded them that Mo Xiao Tuo had to go to class the next day.

"Right, right, I forgot, this child is still in school. He'll graduate next year and the year after. Soon, very soon." Grandma Luo muttered to herself as she saw the couple out.

Luo Chen greeted the others, then pulled the little wildcat into the car. He was afraid that if things continued like this, they wouldn't be able to leave tonight.

Grandma Luo stopped Mo Xiaotuo's hand, took out a card from her pocket and put it in her hand, then whispered, "This is from Grandma. The password is six zeros. You don't need to tell Achen. Buy whatever you want. Don't be stingy with your food. You're too thin. It's not good for your health."

"Grandma, I can't accept this!" Mo Xiaotuo was too embarrassed to take her grandmother's money.

Grandma Luo pretended to cry, looking heartbroken: "It seems Grandma is getting old and no longer likable, boohoo..."

"No, no, no, Grandma, you're so kind, really, Grandma, I... I'll accept it, I'll take it, please don't be sad." Mo Xiaotuo couldn't bear to see the old lady sad, especially such a kind old lady as Grandma Luo, so she could only accept the card for now and give it to Mr. Luo when she got back.

Seeing her granddaughter-in-law accept the gift, Grandma Luo smiled through her tears and patted her hand: "If that boy bullies you, or dares to cause trouble outside, just call Grandma, and Grandma will take care of him for you!"

"Thank you, Grandma. He's very good to me," Mo Xiaotuo said shyly in a low voice.

Grandma Luo was finally satisfied and let her granddaughter-in-law get into the car. Watching the car drive far away, she was reluctantly pulled back to the house by her husband.

Once back at the house, she started to throw a tantrum.

The old man didn't stop his daughter-in-law from being angry; it was better for her to vent on her sons and grandsons than to take it out on him. He sat down, had Feng Qing pour him some tea, and slowly sipped it, enjoying the sight of his children and grandchildren being reprimanded.

Seeing the old lady enter with a dark face, no one dared to utter a sound and all obediently sat down in their chairs.

"Do you all think I'm afraid of getting old and blind, and that's why I'm so dissatisfied with the wife I found for Ah Chen?" To intimidate everyone, Old Mrs. Luo overturned all the cups on the table.

Thump thump!

Luo Kaiyue and his men all knelt down.

The old lady glanced at her eldest grandson and instructed, "Eldest son, stand up. You're the only one who made Grandma proud today. Look at you all, your third branch is so poor that you can't even afford a small gift."

Luo Kaiyue was angry at his wife's actions when he heard this. Now the whole family is in trouble.

The fifth and sixth brothers wanted to cry. Their eldest brother was so unfair; he hadn't mentioned it once in the group chat.

Luo Zeyuan decided to go back and reward his assistant properly; if that kid hadn't mentioned it, he would have been in trouble today too.

"Let me tell you, you can keep your opinions about the granddaughter-in-law I've chosen to yourselves. Especially you, Kaiyue's daughter-in-law, put away your snobbish ways, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Old Mrs. Luo pointed at Wan Qiqi and gave her a good scolding.

"It's her fault, Mom, please don't be angry, please don't be angry." Luo Kaiyue saw that the old lady was angry and was afraid that she would have another episode. You know, the last time she had an episode, she had terrified the whole family.

Seeing his wife so angry, Grandpa Luo not only didn't speak up for his son and grandson, but also added fuel to the fire by comforting them: "Don't be angry, old woman. Just deduct two months' allowance from their allowance. If you think two months isn't enough, four months is fine too, or even six months if that doesn't work!"

Luo Kaiyue had nothing to say, because they were indeed in the wrong. After all, Ah Chen's wife was personally chosen by his mother.

Wan Qiqi's hair stood on end when she heard this. If she had known, she would have bought a gift instead of losing several months' worth of allowance.

The fifth and sixth brothers hated their eldest brother so much they gritted their teeth.

Seeing that these people had all behaved themselves, Old Madam Luo's anger finally subsided, but punishment was definitely necessary.

In the end, everyone lost three months' worth of pocket money, which the old lady donated to a children's welfare home.

When the fifth and sixth brothers heard the result, they felt like dying. Their schedules had been packed with activities lately, all of which involved spending money.

On the other side, Mo Xiaotuo kept sneezing the whole way, thinking it was because she had been exposed to the wind today.

Luo Chen, who was standing next to him, glanced at it and clearly curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
