"Me?" Old Lady Mu pointed at herself.
"Yes," Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Old Lady Mu burst into laughter, "Not to mention me, even Grandma Fang might not recognize Old Madam Ouyang."
The Ouyang Family never associated with families of merchants and traders.
Even though the Tang Family is the number one family in Capital City, they have no connection with the Ouyang Family.
In fact, this is part of the mystery of the Ouyang Family.
They’ve managed to stand firm in Capital City all these years without any ties to other families!
This just proves that saying.
Only cattle and horses flock together.
Predators always walk alone!
The Ouyang Family is that lone predator.
Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in shock, "Even Grandma Fang doesn’t know her?"
You should know that the Tang Family also ranks at the top of Capital City’s social pyramid.
"Exactly," Old Lady Mu said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, you’re underestimating the status of the Ouyang Family in Capital City."
Upon hearing this, a look of regret flooded Mu Xiaoxiao’s eyes.
If only Ouyang Yi were married with a son.
She would definitely find a way to make the son of the Ouyang Family fall for her.
By doing so, she could have a chance to become the daughter-in-law of her idol.
At the same time, Mu Xiaoxiao was worried about whether she could get her idol’s autograph tomorrow.
With a status like Ouyang Yi’s and without anyone to bridge the gap, she feared she wouldn’t be able to get close to him.
Contemplating this, Mu Xiaoxiao’s brows furrowed slightly.
Old Lady Mu looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and continued, "Since you’re also attending the dharma assembly tomorrow, you should go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow morning, we’ll set off early with Grandma Fang and the others to Dazhao Temple."
"Okay, grandma," Mu Xiaoxiao nodded.
Old Lady Mu also turned to go back to her room to rest.
After returning to her bedroom, Mu Xiaoxiao picked up the last Beauty Chant facial mask and put it on her face, planning to put on beautiful makeup the next day.
She wanted to meet her idol in the best possible state.
**
During the entire New Year period, the Tang Family was quiet and deserted.
Tang Shaowei lay in bed, sick and feeble.
Fang Hongyu was feeding him medicine.
Tang Shaowei looked at Fang Hongyu with a guilt-ridden gaze, "Hongyu, you’ve really been through a lot these years."
Through a lot?
That phrase again.
Fang Hongyu’s downcast eyes were filled with disdain.
What else could this old man do besides verbally expressing ’through a lot’? Could he say anything else?
Anyone can make empty promises.
If he truly felt she’d been through a lot, he should have handed over the Tang Family to her a long time ago.
Why is it that he still hasn’t loosened his grip even now!
Fang Hongyu replied with a smile, "Uncle, this is what I should do. Saying that makes it seem like you’re an outsider, doesn’t it?"
Tang Shaowei nodded, then said, "Is there enough money for this month’s household expenses? If not, ask your aunt for more."
Every month, Fang Youling would give Fang Hongyu eight million yuan for expenses.
This eight million wasn’t only for their family of three’s all-inclusive expenses, but also the salaries of all the Tang Family’s servants.
The Tang Family, including the butler, chef, gardener, driver, and all the servants, totaled 98 people.
These 98 people required a monthly payroll of nearly two and a half million yuan.
That did not include the Tang Family’s daily expenses.
In other words, the actual money that could be spent on their family of three was only a little over four million yuan.
That’s just 48 million yuan a year!
For an ordinary family, 48 million might be a lot.
But this is the Tang Family of Capital City!
Moreover, this 48 million yuan was to be spent on just their family of three.
Fang Hongyu often spent several million yuan on luxury bags.
What could they possibly do with 48 million?
Although Fang Hongyu was dissatisfied inside, she didn’t show it. Instead, she simply smiled and said, "It’s enough, it’s enough. Didn’t you also give each of us a big red envelope on New Year’s Eve?"
"As long as it’s enough," Tang Shaowei replied and then looked towards Lv Tang with a loving expression, "Tangtang, why haven’t you brought some classmates home to play during this New Year period?"
Bring classmates home?
Hearing this, Lv Tang had a complex feeling in her heart.
The Tang Family had never publicly acknowledged her mother’s status. She had never dared to tell her classmates that she was the Eldest Miss Tang. If she rashly brought classmates over to the Tang Family’s home, who knows how they would mock her behind her back!
With these thoughts, Lv Tang said with a smile, "Grandfather, during the New Year period, my classmates either went back to their hometowns or were busy with their startups. They really didn’t have time to hang out."
"I see," Tang Shaowei nodded, looking at Lv Tang with a kind expression, "When you have time in the future, make sure to bring your classmates home more often to play."
The only daughter was gone.
With only Fang Hongyu, his niece, left under their care, Tang Shaowei truly cherished Lv Tang as his own granddaughter.
