Chapter 64: Crazy Day 64: It’s hard to marry someone from a family like yours…
Chapter 64
"Did Grandpa agree to your move in with the Bo family? What about the marriage with the Bo family? Is that true?"
When Tan Mo lowered her head to look at the documents, Nangong Lie asked her three questions in succession.
When she raised her head, Nangong Lie whispered mysteriously into her ear, "Actually, this is a plan that can't be made public, right? A counterattack against Lu Xingjian's ambush in our house?"
He raised an eyebrow in question, then nodded solemnly, "Okay, stop talking. I understand."
After all, this is enemy territory.
Seeing him so silly, Tan Mo couldn't help but curl her lips, and the words on her lips turned into, "Wow, you're not wearing a maid outfit today."
Nangong Lie: “…”
"You're the only one who has a mouth." Nangong Lie rolled his eyes at her, "Can you please talk about something serious?"
Because of his previous bold words, he left the Nangong family and was not included in many important matters. But now was a critical moment for the Nangong family. Even though he was a fake prince, he still cared about the Nangong family and Grandpa Nangong.
Tan Mo's cunning eyes rolled around. "Okay. Give me the diamonds and pearls you found yesterday, and I'll tell you the important inside story."
Nangong Lie was very embarrassed and hesitant.
But his love for the Nangong family overcame his material desires, and he took it out of the pocket of his nanny's uniform and gave it to her.
Tan Mo felt it carefully. This five-carat diamond ring was truly beautiful, and the pearl was round and smooth.
Nangong Lie: "With your current wealth, a ten-carat diamond ring is no problem for you. So why are you so jealous of this thing?"
It's him, now down and out, picking up all kinds of trash.
Tan Mo: "My diamond rings are all around 10, 20, or 30 carats, like rocks. This five-carat one is so delicate and lovely."
Nangong Lie: “.”
"This is the money I saved for my wife. You have to keep your word and be more specific." Nangong Lie also complained, "You are the real master of the Nangong family, why don't you care at all? I really think the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is anxious."
Tan Mo: "I didn't expect that after just a month away from the Nangong family, you've already gained such a profound understanding of yourself. You are indeed a eunuch."
Nangong Lie laughed bitterly twice: "Your mouth will poison yourself to death."
Tan Mo didn't care. She glanced at Xu Xiaonian who was picking flowers in the garden, then turned her gaze to Nangong Lie, "It seems that you really have deep feelings for Xiaonian."
Nangong Lie blushed and said uncomfortably: "Seriously."
Tan Mo's face couldn't help but become serious.
She had been hesitant about telling him about the Nangong family's future. After all, Nangong Xiong's attitude towards Nangong Lie was ambiguous. She was afraid that if she put so much effort into changing the course of the Nangong family in the book, Nangong Lie, the hands-off boss, would come to grab a piece of the pie, and she would be furious.
Tan Mo said seriously: "The Nangong family may go bankrupt because of someone in the near future."
After all, when a large group like the Nangong family goes bankrupt, external factors are only inducements, and the real collapse is caused by internal reasons.
"You should prevent this from happening and be prepared to deal with it."
After hearing this, Nangong Lie's eyes became much deeper when he looked at Tan Mo.
Tan Mo thought to herself, this news was indeed a huge blow to Nangong Lie. This naive and overbearing CEO had actually learned to be profound. What would he say to her?
She was vaguely looking forward to it.
As a result, the next second, the diamonds and pearls that were loosely grasped in his hands were snatched back by Nangong Lie.
He said with a look of deep sorrow: "Are you kidding me? Isn't that you?"
"Looking at the fact that you and the Bo family are planning a marriage, how could I not know that the Bo family is going to use you to bankrupt our Nangong family?"
"I felt so deeply for you, but you lied to me just to steal my treasure. You disappoint me so much!"
Tan Mo: “…”
"What are you arguing about?" Lu Xingjian brought over a glass of iced American coffee.
Nangong Lie glared at him fiercely and turned away.
Lu Xingjian: "It's inexplicable."
Tan Mo: "That's right, your nanny has such a bad temper that she doesn't even take you, her master, seriously." Lu Xingjian felt embarrassed, especially when Tan Mo mentioned 'you, her master'.
Lu Xingjian quickly handed her the iced American coffee in his hand. "I made this, but the coffee beans at home are different from the ones in the office, and the new ones haven't arrived yet. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Without waiting for Tan Mo to speak, he asked if the sunlight on the corridor under the eaves was too glaring, whether she needed a parasol, and also asked if she had applied sunscreen.
Comprehensive and complete.
He has been promoted from chief assistant to Tan Mo's 'mom'.
Tan Mo lived in the Bo family, and Lu Xingjian behaved more attentively and servilely than before. When Xu Xiaonian came back from cutting flowers with Wang Ma and saw this scene, she couldn't help but think.
Aunt Wang was holding a big bucket of flowers, took off her hat, and greeted Tan Mo as she passed by.
"Working?" Wang Ma wiped the sweat from her forehead, glanced at him, and said with a smile, "He's actually looking over documents. I thought all the CEOs in the world were like our CEO Bo, only good at throwing tantrums, arguing, and throwing things."
Lu Xingjian: “…”
Tan Mo laughed heartily. "All of this requires talent. I can't compare to Mr. Bo. He's too high a level."
"Really?" Wang Ma said doubtfully. "Then you go ahead and get busy. I'll call you when lunch is ready."
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Wang."
Wang Ma was strong and powerful, so she could easily hold all the flowers in Xu Xiaonian's arms. She was already thinking about how to distribute these flowers.
When I got into the house, I unexpectedly bumped into Bo Yanli who was coming downstairs.
"Ouch. Aunt Wang, be careful." Bo Yanli patted the flower and plant debris stuck on his chest.
He was not in a good mood. Last night, he accompanied Tang Yi to see a doctor, and then went to buy jewelry and bags. After returning home, washing up, and lying in bed, it was already early morning.
Being with a woman is more tiring than working overtime.
"Auntie Wang, please contact the Nangong family and ask Mr. Tan to come to our house for dinner tonight."
Wang Ma rolled her eyes inwardly. Sure enough, he only knew how to argue with women all day and never do any real work. "Boss Bo, Boss Tan checked into the Bo family last night."
"He's outside now."
Bo Yanli: "..."
"Oh, really! Hahaha." He laughed dryly.
"Boss Bo, you're looking for me?" Tan Mo walked over from the corridor. "Boss Bo is very busy, and he has to deal with the relationship between his two sisters-in-law. I understand."
"Hahaha." Bo Yanli laughed even more dryly.
Tan Mo: "I think we should hold the welcome party at noon instead of in the evening. I have other things to do in the afternoon."
As soon as Bo Yanli opened his mouth, Tan Mo made the final decision, "That's it."
"Auntie Wang, it's only a few hours until lunch. It's still in time to prepare a meal. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Something like last night's home-cooked meal will be fine."
"Everyone, help yourself."
Wang Ma: "That's easy, there's still time. Don't worry."
"Okay then." Tan Mo looked at Bo Yanli again, "I'll go upstairs first. Mr. Bo, I'm going to get married. This place will be my home from now on. You can treat it as your own. Don't be too polite."
Bo Yanli: “…” Who am I being polite to?
Looking at Tan Mo's elegant back, Aunt Wang couldn't help but admire her, "This is what a head of the family should look like—calm, dignified, and well-mannered."
Bo Yanli was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Aunt Wang looked at the top of Bo Yanli's head and said with concern, "Boss Bo, it's not good to have such a special talent. It can easily lead to baldness."
Bo Yanli was so scared that he felt a chill on his back and touched his head.
It was almost one in the afternoon when the lunch started. A large number of people, big and small, came and filled up the round tables.
This was the first time that Tan Mo had eaten at a round table since she entered the book.
The Nangong family follows the Western style, with a long table.
Bo Yanli is worthy of being the boss of South China F3, simple and unpretentious.
Most of these people are familiar to Tan Mo.
She didn't recognize the middle-aged man sitting on Bo Yanli's left who raised his eyebrows at him.
There was also a burly man next to Tang Yi, with a beard, who was broader and fatter than anyone else sitting there.
She had seen him last night when Bo Yanli and Zhao Yun were arguing, but she still didn't know his name.
Just as Bo Yanli was about to stand up and speak, Tan Mo took the initiative to say, "This meal is rather simple and hastily prepared. Please don't be disgusted. Eat and drink well. Please forgive me for any inadequacies in the hospitality."
Bo Yanli: "..." He was interrupted again
Tang Yi, who was about to clink his glass with his own, tutted his words, "My brother Yan hasn't spoken yet, why are you the one speaking?"
"What's the surname of this family?"
Tan Mo smiled and said, "My last name is Tan, Mr. Bo, isn't it?"
Bo Yanli smiled apologetically, "Of course, of course."
Tang Yi: "What does this mean?"
Bo Yanli said unhappily, "It's none of your business."
Tang Yi was about to make a scene when Bo Yanli grabbed her plump little hand and patted it, "That's not what I meant. There are so many people here now. I'll talk to you when we're alone and apologize to you, okay?"
Tang Yi pouted her bright red lips and said playfully, "That's about right."
The man next to her turned his head away in displeasure.
When Zhao Yun saw this, her eyes turned red.
The two of them are so close!
Bo Yanli stood up and said, "Mr. Tan has already told everyone to eat and drink well on my behalf, so I won't say much more."
"But before the meal starts, let me introduce the two of them to everyone so that everyone can get to know each other. We will be considered a family from now on."
A family?
Tan Mo's eyes darted around, thinking: So many families? Only cockroaches have so many families!
Bo Yanli first introduced the person next to Tang Yi, "Shi Aotian."
Tang Yi added proudly: "My mother's bodyguard is now responsible for protecting me."
Shi Aotian nodded in greeting.
Tan Mo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Uncle, your personality really lives up to the name. You're cold, don't like to smile, and are big."
"When your parents named you, did they choose it based on your personality, or did your personality grow with your name?"
Leng Aotian thought for a long time and said expressionlessly: "What did you say?"
Oh, as slow as a stone, Tan Mo added in her heart.
Bo Yanli then introduced the one on his left, "Bo Dongxi, my brother's son."
Whenever Tan Mo looked over, this thin thing would raise its eyebrows at her.
Eh~~~ Tan Mo immediately turned her gaze away, fearing that if she continued looking at it she would be too greasy and lose her appetite.
Bo Dongxi asked softly, "I just saw you give some good comments on others. Why don't you give me some good comments on mine?"
Tan Mo thinks it is impolite to talk without looking into the other person's eyes.
She looked over, but only for a second, and then thought, it’s rude, so what.
She turned her head again and looked at Lu Xingjian beside her.
Tan Mo turned her back to the thin thing and said, "You should call it the thick thing."
Thin thing: "..."
Lu Xingjian and Bo Haoran suddenly burst out laughing.
"What are you two laughing at?" Bo Yanli's face was a little ugly. He tried to lighten the mood and said, "He's been eating well since he was young, so it's understandable that he's stronger than others. Men should be masculine. If you don't like it, he can also lose weight. Right, little one?"
Bo Dongxi nodded vigorously, "When I was in school, many people pursued me."
"It's suspected to be a diabetic hallucination." Tan Mo said to Lu Xingjian.
I thought: Well, it turns out that appearance is something that can only be judged through comparison.
Lu Xingjian's beauty has reached a new level.
"Okay, okay, let's stop!" Bo Yanli ended the topic abruptly.
He pointed at Xu Xiaonian on Lu Xingjian's right and asked, "Who is this?"
Tan Mo: "Oh, you can understand it as my mother's family."
Bo Yanli nodded, muttering, "No problem."
"I came here this time to record the interactions between President Bo and his two wives, and then share it with the entire nation."
Bo Yanli was horrified, "This... is not necessary..."
Tan Mo quickly interrupted her, "I'm a member of the Bo family now that I'm married in. I have the final say on this matter."
Bo Yanli: "..."
"Why do you make the decisions on everything? What is our brother Yan doing then?" Tang Yi supported Bo Yanli.
Tan Mo: "If you object again, I'll write you off as an old witch with an ugly heart."
"What are you talking about? You can write whatever you want." Tang Yi laughed nervously, "But you must write me as a little beauty, the prettiest one. As for the ugly heart, don't touch it. The villainous female character is popular now, the audience will like it."
Bo Yanli: "..."
Just when Bo Yanli was speechless, Nangong Lie moved a stool and inserted it between Lu Xingjian and Xu Xiaonian, "Give us a seat."
Tang Yi knew him. Last time, this man wore a seductive miniskirt to seduce her brother Yan.
Even though she later realized it was a misunderstanding, Tang Yi still didn't look at him in a good mood.
A man wearing a miniskirt is either a psychopath or a psychopath.
Tang Yi scolded: "We are eating. What are you, a servant, doing here, squeezing in like this?"
Lu Xingjian was still wearing his work clothes, but he straightened his back and said, "This family has inherited my sister's surname, Tan. Why can't I, as her brother, sit in?"
Before the two of them started to argue with each other, Xu Xiaonian moved her stool to the left. As a result of her action, the people around her had to move to the side as well in order to avoid being too close.
Tan Mo remembered that she still had the task of getting Nangong Lie to call her dad.
She looked over at Lu Xingjian and said hurriedly, "I'm not your sister, I'm your father. Call me and let me hear you."
Tang Yi acted coquettishly towards Bo Yanli, "Brother Yan, are you going to stop caring? She's both my sister and my father's, what a messed-up relationship..."
Bo Yanli is as troubled as an ox. He even resisted Tan Mo's attempt to report their family scandal, so this is the only thing he needs to do?
He pressed her hand and said, "Okay, okay, sit down then. More people, more pairs of chopsticks."
During the meal, Lu Xingjian served food to Tan Mo just like when he was an assistant.
Even in his middle age, Tang Yi still had a foolish innocence in his eyes.
Her eyes darted around, and when Bo Yanli picked up a big chicken leg for her, she accurately caught Zhao Yun's eyes, which were jealous and about to cry.
Tang Yi cleared his throat, then when he picked up the chopsticks, he deliberately shook his hands, and the chopsticks fell with a clang.
Tan Mo: "What's wrong? Are you having a seizure?"
Tang Yi: “…”
"What do you know?" Tang Yi said coquettishly, "It's because my diamond ring and diamond bracelet are too heavy, so I can't lift the chopsticks."
As she spoke, she turned her wrist, afraid that the light would not shine on the sparkling diamonds.
"Brother Yan loves me so much. After I took him to the hospital yesterday, I bought him some jewelry. It wasn't expensive. The bracelet is 868,000."
After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
There were some dull moments, and none of the supporting actors were there.
As for the reason, Bo Yanli felt a little embarrassed. He was eating, so why was he talking about this? And did it have anything to do with the purpose of his dinner today?
Bo Dongshi was busy looking at Tan Mo and had no time to pay attention to her.
Just listening to it was enough to make Zhao Yun and Shi Aotian feel sad, how could they not feel sad?
As for Tan Mo and her group...
Lu Xingjian: "Mr. Tan, do you want to eat crabs? I'll help you."
Tan Mo nodded while biting the beef.
Nangong Lie put the braised pork into Xu Xiaonian's bowl and said, "You've been studying hard for the civil service exam recently. Eat it."
Xu Xiaonian put the piece of meat into Nangong Lie's bowl again, her eyes full of spring water, "It's not as hard as you being a nanny in the Bo family, so you should eat it."
Nangong Lie: "You eat."
Xu Xiaonian: "You eat."
Tang Yi: "..."
She raised her voice and said, "868,000, what does this mean?"
Tan Mo: "It represents the improvement of the Chinese people's consumption level, the prosperity of the country, and the self-confidence of the nation."
"I know this question!" Xu Xiaonian raised her hand. "Governing the country requires regularity, and the people are the foundation. Ensuring a good life for the people is the fundamental purpose of our Party uniting and leading the people in revolution, construction, and reform. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China..."
"Wait, wait," Lu Xingjian waved Xu Xiaonian to stop. "Xiaonian, you've been reciting the essay too literally, and you've strayed a bit from the topic. A bracelet here costs 868,000 yuan. This isn't just about eating well, it's about eating extravagantly..."
Xu Xiaonian humbly asked, "Ah, could it be that the theme of this passage is the inequality between the rich and the poor in society?"
Nangong Lie, who was standing aside, looked at Xu Xiaonian's serious profile and couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "Wow, Xiaonian, you are so amazing."
Tang Yi, who was waiting for someone to help him, said, "..."
"Are you kidding me? You're still taking the civil service exam? You got zeros in Chinese!"
"What I clearly wanted to express was Brother Yan's blatant love for me!"
Tan Mo: "That's it, you're pretty good at praising yourself, why do you need anyone else?"
Bo Dongshi laughed out loud and praised, "Miss Bo is really insightful and a perfect match for me."
"Eh~" Tan Mo touched the goose bumps on her arm. When she looked away, she met Tang Yi's eyes that were about to spit fire. She hurriedly said, "I'm so envious. You have a husband who loves you and buys you diamonds~"
Tang Yi's anger subsided. "That's good to know. Some people can't even imagine how good Brother Yan is to me."
After Tang Yi finished speaking, Tan Mo could already vaguely hear crying.
Bo Yanli said, "After marriage, a husband must treat his wife well. This is the obligation of us men. If Mr. Tan is envious, get married soon."
The conversation had already begun, and Bo Yanli couldn't finish it. "Since you have agreed to the marriage, our two families should sit down together as soon as possible to discuss it."
Nangong Lie clenched his fists. He couldn't bear to listen any longer. Everyone knew Bo Yanli's evil ambitions.
Just as he was about to stand up and curse back, Lu Xingjian got the better of him and said, "I don't agree to be engaged to the Nangong family, nor will I marry Mr. Tan."
"I've already told you before, don't force me to do this again."
Bo Yanli chuckled, "You think too highly of yourself."
The father and son were about to quarrel again, and Zhao Yun wrung her hands nervously.
"When the rest of our Bo family is dead?" Bo Yanli said, "Mr. Tan, what do you think of our Bo family?"
Bo Dongxi smiled and raised his eyebrows at Tan Mo.
Tan Mo: “Not very good.”
Unexpectedly, Tan Mo was so direct. Bo Yanli was stunned for a moment, and forced a smile and said, "Yes, our Bo is a little fatter and stronger now. But apart from being fat and strong, his whole body..."
“There’s not a single good point.”
Bo Yanli: "..."
Bo Dongshi was unhappy. "Uncle, what's going on? Didn't you say that the blind date is beautiful and has a good personality?"
Nangong Lie suddenly taunted, "With someone like you, ugly and with a bad personality, no one would look down on you."
"Uncle!" Bo Dongxi shook Bo Yanli's arm and shouted.
"Enough! Can you be more steady?"
He smiled and said to Tan Mo, "The little guy's appearance may not be very appealing, but his heart is beautiful! The most important thing in marriage is the heart, not the appearance."
"Get married?" Xu Xiaonian exclaimed, "You let Mr. Tan marry him."
"But our President Tan has already slept with your Young Master Lu!"
Everyone else present, including Bo Yanli, was a little shocked.
Especially Nangong Lie and Bo Dongxi.
"This...you..." Lu Xingjian didn't want Tan Mo to be misunderstood, and was anxiously trying to deny it, but Tan Mo reached out and twisted his thigh.
Lu Xingjian frowned in pain and looked at Tan Mo questioningly.
Tan Mo told him not to act rashly.
Zhao Yun uttered the first words of the dinner, "Is this true?"
Tan Mo sighed, "If I had known about your family's situation earlier, I would definitely not agree to date your son."
"My parents are not serious. They feel like the yellow-haired and crazy woman in the urban-rural fringe."
The yellow-haired Bo Yanli and the crazy woman Zhao Yun blushed and lowered their heads.
"The only advantage of having thin yellow hair is that it is richer than real yellow hair. But what's the use? When I came over and looked, the sky was falling."
Nangong Lie was confused, "Why?"
Tan Mo: "He has a mistress!"
"Tang Yi, the first wife; Zhao Yun, the second wife."
"How many years has it been since our country banned concubinage? Bo Huangmao, wasn't your family informed when the People's Republic of China was founded?"
Bo Yanli: "Indeed, there was no notification. I was not yet born when the organization was founded in 1949."
Tan Mo: “…”
"Do you think you're funny?"
Bo Yanli: "No. I only have one wife, and Zhao Yun and I haven't obtained a marriage certificate."
Tan Mo: "So that's the mistress? You're so proud of raising your mistress and your wife together?"
"If this happened in the whole of China, people would laugh at me, right?"
Nangong Lie folded his hands, "That's right, it's totally unethical and morally corrupt!"
Tan Mo continued, "My father-in-law wants to have everything he wants: a wife and a mistress, and a warm bed. But my mother-in-law just cries all day long, fighting with the first wife for her husband. She has no shame."
"When I have a baby, can my mother-in-law help take care of it?"
Zhao Yun listened to a lot of things, and her brain only caught the key word "mother-in-law taking care of the baby". She said in horror: "I'm not that old yet, why do I have to take care of the baby?"
Tan Mo: “…”
Then she finally realized what was happening, "How could I be the mistress? It was clearly me who had the child with Yanli first..."
"You're so young and pregnant out of wedlock. It was just a one-night stand, and you still have the nerve to say you have a child first." Tang Yi said bluntly, "If I had known this more than ten years ago, would I have married into this family?"
Zhao Yun glanced at the indifferent Bo Yanli, tears streaming down her face as she lowered her head.
Tan Mo sighed and said, "That's why I say, don't run with the ball for too long, it can easily cause ethical accidents for middle-aged and elderly people!"
"The essence of running with the ball is that the ball must be brought back when you are young. Five years old is the maximum. After the age of eight, the ball is hated by everyone and dogs."
Xu Xiaonian asked in confusion, "Why do you have to bring him back before he turns five?"
"Everyone's buying one get one free for three and a half year old babies and five year old babies. Have you ever heard of eight year old babies or ten year old babies?"
Xu Xiaonian: "Does 'Nine-Year-Old Demon Concubine' count?"
Tan Mo: “…”
In closing, he said, "So, with a family like yours, it will be difficult for Assistant Lu to find a wife in the future. No one will want to marry him."
Nangong Lie was somewhat impressed by Lu Xingjian's resistance to the marriage and patted him on the back. "Bro, life must be tough."
Lu Xingjian: “…”
Being a ball is already very self-deprecating, and...
Bo Yanli asked Tan Mo, "Since no one wants to marry Xing Jian, why did you agree?"
Tan Mo: "Who made me fall in love? My head is full of water."
