Chapter 624 - Dear Brother-in-Law (2)
Was there something her husband wanted from Zhang Jiren? Why did he suddenly take an interest in this man? Tang Moyu wondered.
She decided to have a talk with Feng Tianyi later, but since he already decided to allow Zhang Jiren to attend their wedding day, she could only let it pass this time. Feng Tianyi might have reasons why he was allowing Zhang Jiren to get close with their family. However, she still didn't think they should allow their family to be related to any Zhang family members at this moment.
As long as she still didn't know the truth about her birth mother's death, Tang Moyu decided not to get involved with the Zhang family. Even now, she wasn't sure why the Zhang family was allowing Zhang Wuying to do whatever she wanted… when it was clear that something was wrong with that woman's head.
Tang Moyu wasn't an expert in psychology and how to diagnose a mental illness, but something about Zhang Wuying's behavior and way of thinking wasn't right. She could be violent at times. This was why Tang Moyu never bothered to introduce her little buns to the Tang family even if they bore the Tang surname. There was nothing good that could come out of being involved with that treacherous family.
"Really? Then, that's great!" Little Star exclaimed. "Don't worry, Uncle. I'll accompany you if you don't have someone to be with." She offered with a smile.
Zhang Jiren didn't know why, but he could feel that he wouldn't be able to deny his niece at the rate they were going. Ah, who cared if he spoiled her rotten?! After all, Little Star was his only niece so he wouldn't mind allowing the girl to indulge in what she wants.
"Sure. Thank you for your kindness, Little One." He smiled at his niece.
"But are you sure it wouldn't be an issue for you, Jiren? Uncle might misunderstand you." Tang Wanyu asked worriedly. How could she not forget that the sole reason why the Zhang family took him in? Wasn't it for him to be used as their chess piece? She also wasn't sure where Zhang Jiren stands right now.
"It's fine, Cousin Wanyu. As long as it's related to work and giving face in public, I don't think father would mind it."
The Zhang family had lost their chance to devour the Tang family from the inside, but Zhang Jiren knew how Zhang Xianzhe's mind works. Once the old man found out that he was invited by Feng Tianyi, that old vulture would use it as a chance to get acquainted with Feng Tianyi and the Song family.
The Song family's net worth was way more than what the Tang family could give his father anyway so Zhang Jiren knew that he had to tread carefully this time. This would directly affect his sister's family if that old man made up his mind and preyed on the Song family.
"Then, it's settled," Feng Tianyi said with finality. "We'll send out the invitation one of these days."
"Daddy, I want more pudding please!" Little Star suddenly demanded her father, but she was beaten by her brother when he took another serving of pudding on his own. "Yu Gege! That's mine!" She complained to Xiao Bao.
"Now, now. Don't fight over food. What did I tell you?" Tang Moyu glanced at her little buns, her eyes warning them.
Both children muttered an apology to their mother while Feng Tianyi could only sigh and give their daughter his own share so she wouldn't fight with Xiao Bao anymore.
"How about you, Beixuan? Didn't you say you wanted to propose to Meili soon?" Tang Moyu clasped her hands together and regarded her younger brother while Tang Wanyu gasped in shock over the news.
"Beixuan? Really? You are going to ask Meili for marriage?" Her eyes were wide in surprise. "Congratulations!"
"I have yet to find the right ring for her." Tang Beixuan scratched his cheek awkwardly. "But please keep it a secret from her. I intend to propose to her once the result for the designer of the year comes out."
'Still… that's good news! But you have to be careful about Mother. There's no doubt she wouldn't take it readily." Tang Wanyu exclaimed, happy that both of her younger siblings had found the love of their lives.
"Yeah, I know. I also don't want to bring it up not until Moyu Jie and Big Bro's wedding is done. I don't want to ruin their special day by proposing to Meili."
Their dinner concluded an hour later when the twins finished their meals and were too stuffed to eat more. Auntie Lu took them to give them a bath before bedtime while the a.d.u.l.ts remained downstairs to have a talk.
Tang Moyu took this chance to catch up with her siblings while Feng Tianyi asked Zhang Jiren for a private conversation in their study upstairs. Tang Moyu gave him a confused look, but Feng Tianyi only kissed her cheek before leaving with Zhang Jiren in tow.
"Please take a seat. I have to admit that I was surprised when Moyu said you'll be coming tonight with Sister Wanyu and Beixuan." Feng Tianyi gestured for his guest to take a seat across him while he stood near the windowsill, seeing that the rain had started to fall outside.
"It's nothing. Beixuan and Cousin Wanyu aren't strangers to me anyway." Zhang Jiren shed his coat, took a seat, and crossed his legs. He wondered why Feng Tianyi wanted a word with him. Was the devil going to threaten him to stay away from his family?
"You must be thinking why I called you here?" Feng Tianyi gave him a meaningful smile which caught Zhang Jiren off guard, but with his poker face on, it was hard to tell what he was thinking at the moment.
"I have to admit you surprised me too, Zhang Jiren… or should I say, Tang Lingjun?"
