"How can you talk like that?" Zhang Moyan's voice was slightly unstable as she watched Xiao Xingyu turn off his phone.
Xiao Xingyu paused, realizing that his exaggeration might have caused quite a shock to Zhang Moyan.
But, he had no choice but to do so.
He knew best what kind of person his father Xiao Weizhou was. If such a gentleman was to betray his ancestors and agree to his son marrying into the rival family, there was no other way but to use the tactic of carrying a higher moral burden.
"Are you talking about 'tyrannical'?..." Words spoken are like water spilled, and cannot be taken back. Xiao Xingyu could only shamelessly say, "What I said is basically the truth. It's not that serious because you didn't resist thoroughly enough..."
Zhang Moyan opened her lips slightly, and her ears suddenly felt burning. She really wanted to throw away the thermos in her hand and cover Xiao Xingyu's mouth.
Xiao Xingyu followed Zhang Moyan's line of sight and glanced towards the front row, then smiled and said, "It's okay. Xiaowa is one of us, and I think he really needs to know about your unwavering devotion to me. By the way, Xiaowa, your sister-in-law doesn't treat you as an outsider, so you shouldn't treat her as an outsider either!"
Xiao Wa sighed twice, feeling a mixture of emotions: What had he done wrong?! He was here to witness his brother Yu's incurable love-brain!
If this were a TV series, he would definitely use ten small accounts to complain about the male protagonist's setting and insult the idiotic screenwriter who had no standards.
But in reality, he could only start the car and step on the accelerator with a cough, as if as long as he started the car he could get away from this plot of a good horse returning to the old pasture.
"Drive slowly and be careful." Xiao Xingyu's dark eyes swept a serious glance at Xiao Wa, then he turned around and continued to coax Zhang Moyan with a smile as if by magic, "Don't just stand there, drink this nutritious meal in one gulp. I'll call our mom after you finish it!"
The word "our mother" was as natural and smooth as it could be. Zhang Moyan was afraid that he would repeat the same trick and quickly warned him: "Don't say that to Auntie again!"
"Okay, I'll do as you say. You're weak, so nourishing yourself is the most important thing." Xiao Xingyu took the thermos and filled it for Zhang Moyan himself. "I'll tell her later that we're in love and it's a natural progression. We don't need to endure it anymore..."
Xiao Xingyu was halfway through his idiom slang when the WeChat ringtone, familiar to the masses, started playing. He glanced down and laughed, "Oh, my mom's here! Speak of the devil!"
Zhang Moyan quickly put down the thermos, and Xiao Xingyu had already opened the video call.
"Mother, I was just about to..."
"Okay, I get it. Please step aside and let my daughter-in-law talk to me!"
Before Xiao Xingyu could finish his sentence, Empress Dowager Meng shoved him aside with disgust.
"Our mother received the news, look how excited she is!" Xiao Xingyu smiled and handed the phone to Zhang Moyan, giving her an encouraging look.
Judging from Xiao Xingyu's relaxed expression, he might still be a little unsure about Xiao Weizhou, but he was completely confident and worry-free about Meng Xiaoya.
Zhang Moyanmumu took the phone, and Chairman Meng's beautiful face appeared on the screen.
"Hello, Auntie."
"Calling you auntie is so strange!" Xiao Xingyu came closer and squeezed half of his face in.
"You're such a rude brat," Meng Xiaoya said righteously. "What do you know? I haven't even paid Mo Yan enough to change her name, so how can I ask her to call me mom? Do you think everyone is as frivolous as you? And how could I possibly take advantage of Mo Yan like this, Mo Yan?"
Zhang Moyan blushed: "That's not what I meant."
Meng Xiaoya obviously didn't care about this: "Mo Yan, Xing Yu's father just called me and told me that you guys are going to get your marriage certificate today. Is this true? It's so sudden I can't believe it!"
Zhang Moyan said honestly, "Auntie, this is the case. We haven't arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau yet, and we're just looking for your opinion. Only if you agree will we..."
"I agree, I agree, I agree!" Meng Xiaoya was even more determined than Xiao Xingyu. "I agree 100%. Mo Yan, you don't know how long I've been waiting for this day!"
Zhang Moyan couldn't believe it. Xiao Xingyu's parents both supported her and Xiao Xingyu's marriage?
Xiao Xingyu curved his lips and pulled her into his arms: "Are you relieved now?"
Zhang Moyan's eyes couldn't help but moisten. She swallowed and spoke like a child admitting a mistake: "Auntie, thank you and uncle. I'm really sorry that I'm Chen Yun's daughter..."
"Silly child, what's there to be sorry about!" Meng Xiaoya in the video waved her hands, "I should thank you! Do you remember I told you before that I don't have much time left? My greatest hope is to see this brat get married and start a family in my lifetime! But this brat has always been unstable, and I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep every day. Now that he finally has a solution, I can die with my eyes closed! Mo Yan, hurry up and give me a baby while I'm still alive!"
"Mom, what do you mean by giving birth to a child for you? Isn't it giving birth to a child for me?" Xiao Xingyu interrupted indignantly.
Meng Xiaoya frowned in disdain: "Of course you gave birth to me! You unfilial son, my time is running out, and you still want to fight with me for this?!"
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you." Xiao Xingyu felt ashamed and was willing to admit defeat.
Zhang Moyan was really drunk. It was the first time in her life that she saw someone with a rosy face and high spirits saying that he didn't have much time left to live.
She immediately understood why Xiao Weizhou agreed to let her and Xiao Xingyu be together. This was probably also because he took Ms. Meng into consideration.
Meng Xiaoya and Xiao Xingyu engaged in another verbal battle for a minute, their video call ending amidst the endless vying for favor between mother and son. Zhang Moyan smiled at Xiao Xingyu, realizing that he possessed a certain ability: even the most challenging tasks quickly became easy. Being with him naturally brightened her up, and even the recent unhappiness at the Zhang family seemed like something she could finally move on from.
