This was probably one of the few times in decades that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a harmonious relationship. Both of them understood each other’s intentions and reached a rare agreement in the face of common interests-the reputation of the Meng family.

Meng Yao brought Meng Wei to the study to eavesdrop. They were familiar with the way there and it did not take much effort to find the study.

“Father, Old Mr. Lu is too obvious. Is he trying to rob us? Do we owe him a granddaughter-in-law?” asked Meng Tang. He had been holding back his anger for a long time. Meng Lin had something to do today and did not come back. Meng Tang did not have to put on the airs of a father anymore and he expressed his feelings to his father bluntly.

Meng An sighed, “The older Lu Jun gets, the fiercer his temper becomes. He’s actually so narrow-minded. Instead of thinking about how to save the Gong family, he’s starting to scheme. It’s as if he’s afraid that the Gong family and I will join forces and abandon him.”

“All these years, we’ve been giving in to him. You and Uncle Gong have been giving in to Lu Jun, and Gong Ping and I have been giving in to Lu Hu.” Meng Tang said indignantly.

Meng An looked at his son and said seriously, “Tang, back then, the three of us were in dire straits. If it weren’t for the three of us working together, our three families would have been swallowed up by others! Your Uncle Lu has his own little schemes, but he’s sincere to us brothers. Back then, he was the one who stood in front of us when we were bullied. We can’t forget this kindness until we die!”

Meng Tang did not dare to speak anymore.

Meng An softened his tone and said, “I came up with this marriage proposal as a stopgap measure to save the Gong family and help Gong Ling! I’m afraid that he won’t be able to do it because he’s too young. Now, if the second and third masters of the Gong family can do it, we don’t have to worry about it. We just have to do our best to help them.”

“Yes, Father. We will definitely do our best!” Meng Tang agreed solemnly.

“Then does that mean Yao doesn’t have to get engaged to Gong Ling anymore?” Meng Wei, who had been eavesdropping outside the window, could not help but stand out.

Meng Yao could not stop Meng Wei and complained inwardly, ‘I knew I should have come alone. Why would I bring this idiot along?’

Meng An and Meng Tang were shocked. Especially Meng An, who immediately covered his chest with his hand.

“You idiot! Are you courting death? Get over here and I’ll beat you to death! Look at what you have done to your Grandpa!” Meng Tang was fuming.

Meng Tang grabbed Meng Wei’s collar through the window and was about to lift him up.

Meng Wei was already close to 1.8 meters tall. He was already a young man just by looking at his height. How could he be caught so easily?

“Father, I was wrong, I’m sorry! Yao, run quickly, this has nothing to do with you!” Meng Wei apologized while telling Meng Yao to run.

Meng Yao wished she could kick Meng Wei. She could have left successfully under Meng Wei’s cover, but Meng Wei betrayed her with a single sentence.

Meng Tang pushed Meng Wei aside and only then did he see Meng Yao who was hiding behind Meng Wei.

Meng Yao quickly lowered her head and helplessly admitted her mistake, “I’m sorry, Father. We were wrong. We shouldn’t have eavesdropped.”

“Father, you can’t blame us for this. Who asked you to come up with such a bad idea? How could you have such thoughts? Look at how scared Yao is.” Meng Wei had a blabber mouth. Meng Yao really wanted to push him down the stairs, but she did not dare to move under Meng Tang’s gaze.

Meng Tang looked at Meng Yao and then thought of Lu Chong saying that he wanted to marry Meng Yao in front of everyone.

‘Could it be such a coincidence? But, how could a twelve-year-old girl be so scheming? No, It has to be just a coincidence. The Lu family had such thoughts, to begin with. Still, Meng Yao can’t be that good at using people, right?’ Meng Tang thought.

“Get lost, all of you!” Meng Tang said coldly.

When Meng Tang turned around, he saw that Meng An was already sitting on the sofa. Meng Tang quickly walked over and said, “Father, are you alright?”

Meng An slowly shook his head. He looked at the open window and muttered, “With Meng Wei’s personality, he’s much worse than Lin. I’m afraid he won’t be able to shoulder great responsibilities in the future.”

Meng Tang comforted Meng An, “That’s good too. One brother is stronger than the other, so there won’t be any disputes. The three brothers of the Gong family are evenly matched. They will inevitably have other thoughts.”

Meng An had no choice but to nod and said, “You are right about that.”
