Chapter 303

The elders couldn't hold back their smiles. "Stand-in? What does that mean?"

The person involved, Mo Tingyu, nodded his forehead. As expected, he shouldn't have held out hope for his cousin Xiao Xia's thoughts, as she still let him speak out!

Forget it, he had no intention of keeping it a secret anyway. As long as he and Yaoyao got married, they would have to meet their family sooner or later. It was only a matter of time before his cousin Xiaoxia found out.

He held Bai Haiyao's hand tightly, signaling her not to be nervous.

How could Bai Haiyao not be nervous? This is what she really thinks!

The cousin who hadn't spoken just now suddenly spoke, and judging from everyone's expressions, it seemed that they were not surprised by the strange sound. It was obvious that they had heard it before!

Of course, there was also a man wearing black-framed glasses who expressed surprise, but he was quickly suppressed by the girl next to him.

Xu Qingshu could no longer laugh. She glared at her son first, then reluctantly nodded at Bai Haiyao: "Everyone, please take a seat and eat first. We'll talk after dinner."

Everyone took their seats. Xu Qingshu originally had a lot of questions to ask Bai Haiyao, but now he was no longer interested.

She was about to pull her son away to ask him what was going on, to ask him if he knew he was being used as a stand-in, when she heard You Xiaoxia's inner voice say, "Wow, it turns out that cousin Tingyu knows he's a stand-in."

There was silence again at the big round table, and everyone looked at Mo Tingyu in surprise. It turned out that he knew it himself!

Well, as long as you don't get cheated, it's fine! It's a two-way street.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But surprisingly, Bai Haiyao also looked at Mo Tingyu with surprise: Did he know that he was just using him as a stand-in? !

Then...why is he still so nice to me?

Bai Haiyao didn't know why, but he lowered his head a little sadly.

At this moment, everyone noticed that You Xiaoxia suddenly started to laugh.

In fact, her movements were very small, but everyone's attention was on her, so any small movement was easily noticed.

Song Linlang, who was sitting next to her, shouldered the pressure from the elders' gazes and asked You Xiaoxia, "What are you laughing at?"

You Xiaoxia cleared her throat and said, "I didn't laugh."

Song Linlang: “…” If my vision in both eyes wasn’t 5.0, I would believe you.

[Hahaha, I just suddenly thought of something! ]

Everyone: What's the matter?

[So the Mo family is full of romantic people! What kind of gene is this? Three siblings, one romantic person in the family, it's pretty average! Haha. ]

Mo Mengdi: “…” At this time, can’t you forget me?

Mo Tingyu: “…” I also want to let go, but I can’t do it!

Only Song Xiangbei frowned, poked his arm at Song Xiangchen beside him, and whispered: "Xiao Xia, are you wrong? There are no romantic people in our family."

Song Xiangchen looked at his elder brother silently, once, then again, looking him up and down, from left to right.

Don't you understand? It's you, Song Xiangbei! The one in the original book who bankrupted his family just for love!

Song Xiangbei: “…” I feel more wronged than Dou E, who can I go to for justice?

Song Xiangbei wanted to explain, but Song Xiangchen refused to listen. He covered his ears with his hands and shook his head: "I don't want to listen. Song Xiangbei is reciting the sutra."

Song Xiangbei sighed angrily.

The dishes were served quickly, but Mo Pingtao and Xu Qingshu, who were sitting at the table, no longer had any appetite.

As long as the parents love their children, no one would watch their children serve as substitutes for others!

"Everyone, start eating." Mo Pingxin winked at his younger brothers and sisters: If you have anything to say, wait until we get back to talk, and don't embarrass the children when there are many people around!

Mo Pingtao and his wife sighed.

The dishes were good, and You Xiaoxia ate happily without a care in the world. However, when she looked up, she saw that her uncle's family across the street looked unhappy. She whispered to Song Linlang, "What's wrong with my uncle? Aren't they happy to see their son's girlfriend for the first time? It's the first time they meet, so they shouldn't show a bad face!"

Song Linlang: "...Maybe they are not satisfied with cousin Tingyu's girlfriend."

You Xiaoxia raised her eyebrows: [Are you dissatisfied? I think your uncle and aunt should accept the reality as soon as possible. After all, your son loves her so much! ]

Mo Tingyu paused as he was picking up the food, then he put the food into Bai Haiyao's bowl as if nothing had happened.

With a snap, Xu Qingshu slapped the chopsticks down. She said with a gloomy face: "Mo Tingyu, come out with me!"

Mo Tingyu sighed, but still forced a smile at his girlfriend and said softly, "You eat first, I'll be back soon."

Bai Haiyao put down his chopsticks uncomfortably.

As soon as the door of the private room was closed, Xu Qingshu exploded: "Mo Tingyu, are you out of your mind? She doesn't have you in her heart at all, what are you doing?"

"Mom, I..."

"Don't call me mom!" Xu Qingshu looked at her son with a look of dismay, "Can you be more capable? Be a stand-in? You can think of that!"

"Your father and I don't require each other's family background, education, or appearance. Isn't that open-minded enough? But you have to know that if someone doesn't love you, they have someone else in their heart. Even if you two are together, can it last long in the future?"

Mo Tingyu's face was filled with embarrassment. Cousin Xiaoxia, you have really caused me so much trouble!

You Xiaoxia was still wondering, the door of the private room was not closed tightly, and everyone in the room heard Xu Qingshu scolding his son.

She leaned over and asked Song Linlang, "How did Aunt know that Cousin Tingyu was a stand-in?"

Song Linlang sighed: "The elders have sharp eyes. They have eaten more salt than we have eaten rice. It's no surprise that they can see something!"

This makes sense, You Xiaoxia nodded.

Bai Haiyao couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up and walked out: "Auntie, please don't scold him, it's all my fault. That Tingyu, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Mo Tingyu panicked and quickly caught up with Bai Haiyao: "Yaoyao, wait a minute, listen to my explanation."

Bai Haiyao, who had just turned the corner, actually stopped because she also had something to say.

"So you already knew that I...used you as a substitute."

Mo Tingyu sighed and nodded.

Bai Haiyao felt embarrassed as if his secret had been exposed: "In that case, Tingyu, let's break up."

"No, no, no," Mo Tingyu was frightened. He held Bai Haiyao's shoulders and said, "Yaoyao, I already knew that you used me as a substitute, but I don't mind. I am willing to be your substitute as long as you stay by my side."

Mo Tingyu even managed a smile as he spoke: "I know, you like me laughing, right? Because when I laugh I look most like him!"

Seeing her son's useless look, Xu Qingshu, who was not far away, held her forehead. Xiao Xia was right, her son was indeed a love-brained person!

[Wow, my cousin is so good! He is humble and yet so good! ]

Xu Qingshu turned around immediately, only to find that the place behind her had been crowded with people for some time.

Everyone stopped eating and ran out.

You Xiaoxia took the lead, and the younger generations all crowded in the front to eat the melons. It’s not that the elders didn’t want to squeeze in, but they couldn’t squeeze past the children, so they could only tiptoe behind and watch.

Xu Qingshu: "..."

Hearing cousin Xiao Xia's thoughts, Mo Tingyu and Bai Haiyao both froze for a moment.

Mo Tingyu ignored those onlookers and gritted his teeth: "Hai Yao, don't break up with me. Think about it, if you break up, where can you find someone who looks so much like him!"

[What my cousin said made a lot of sense, and I couldn’t refute it.]

Bai Haiyao paused when he was about to speak: "..." Well, I also forgot what I was going to say.

Mo Tingyu took the opportunity to hug Bai Haiyao, and said pitifully: "Haiyao, don't leave me, okay?"

[Wow, hugs!] You Xiaoxia watched with great interest, [But why did Bai Haiyao choose my cousin as a stand-in? Let me take a look.]

Bai Haiyao froze, and just as he was about to hug Mo Tingyu back, he put down his hand.
