The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 6

Xu Rong's mom started panicking and immediately grabbed Mo Xiaoyun's hand. "Xiaoyun, sit here and chat with us for a bit. My son just had something urgent—he'll be back soon."

"Let her go," Mo Zhengtian suddenly changed his tone, now sounding stern. The more the Xu family tried to cover it up, the more suspicious he became.

Madam Xu saw his face darken and had no choice but to let go of Mo Xiaoyun's hand.

"Don't worry, Auntie Xu. I'll bring Rongrong back. He must be upset about something—I believe in him," Mo Xiaoyun said, pulling out her best sweet-talk lines.

[What a top-tier fake little flower.]

Mo Xiaoyun's hand twitched at that voice, but she still turned and ran outside.

At the table, only Mo Zhengtian, Mo Keyu, and Xu Rong's parents were left.

With Xu Rong and Mo Xiaoyun gone, both families went quiet, and Mo Keyu, now full, started playing games on her phone. The voice that had been swirling in everyone's ears finally shut up.

Mo Zhengtian glanced at his eldest daughter, sitting at a banquet playing mobile games, his brows furrowing. Not even a trace of a proper lady's elegance.

Back then, he would've scolded her on the spot. But now, seeing her act like this, he didn't say a word. If anything, he was relieved she had something else to do.

Otherwise, that loud, mocking laughter and messy stream of commentary would just keep ringing in his brain, nonstop tearing into everyone around them.

The Xu and Mo families didn't have much else to say. And those at the nearby tables—who had only been pretending to chat while eavesdropping—gradually lost interest. Each table went back to their own business.

Mo Xiaoyun ran outside, but couldn't find a trace of Xu Rong. In the end, a server told her a good-looking young master had gone to the back garden.

She didn't even hesitate and rushed straight to the garden—only to hear some strange noises.

"Rongrong, can't you just not get married? Can't we just stay together? I can give you anything you want." A man's low voice came from within.

Mo Xiaoyun slowed her steps, creeping toward the source of the sound.

"I can't, Ah Ren. I have to get married. My family's threatening to kill themselves. Even if I like men, I still have to get married and have a kid," it was Xu Rong's voice. "Don't worry—once I'm married and have a child, I'll divorce and be with you."

"I don't want anyone else to taint you. You'll always be mine." The man held him tight, practically locking him into his chest.

"Ah Ren, stop it. I'm yours, I'll always be yours... mmm... ah—" The two of them tangled up together as the other man pinned him against a big tree and kissed him like crazy.

Mo Xiaoyun's eyes widened. In that moment, it felt like her whole world collapsed.

She liked Xu Rong for his good looks and money, liked the vanity he gave her—but she never imagined this guy actually liked men!

Just hearing their voices made her feel like a total clown. She ran back to the banquet in a panic, looking absolutely miserable.

When Mo Keyu saw her return, she put her phone down and shot her a look full of gloating.

[Oof, right now Young Master Xu is making out with Young Master Xin like it's the finale of some steamy drama. Just one step from pulling their pants off.]

[Fresh off a kissing scene and still not fully recovered, huh.]

[Hmm? Still not saying anything? Did the drama break her brain?]

Seeing both her expression and hearing the weird voice again, Mo Zhengtian pretty much figured out what was going on.

The voice was right—Xu Rong had picked Mo Xiaoyun just to pass on the family line, and the Xu family was clearly in on it.

"I didn't expect you to keep this from me."

Mo Zhengtian's tone lost all the warmth it had before. He tore off the polite mask on the spot.

At this point, Xu Rong's dad—who'd been quietly sitting off to the side—realized how serious things were and finally spoke up, "Zhengtian, if our two families marry, we're not just a good match socially—it'll help both sides' businesses. For your family, it's definitely more of a gain."

Mo Keyu, standing off to the side, couldn't help but shake her head and roast them in her head.

[Wow. Just wow. Talking about turning someone's marriage into a business deal like it's totally normal.]

[Sure, Mo Xiaoyun's not exactly a saint, but they're clearly treating her like a baby-making machine.]

[Didn't expect the Xu family to be this trashy. Absolutely no morals. Just... gross.]

[Trash trash trash trash trash trash trash.]

......

That brutally honest inner monologue started blasting again. A few of the nearby tables grew quiet—on the surface, people were still eating, but their ears were wide open, tuned in to the Xu and Mo family drama.

People who had business deals with either family leaned in even closer. At first, the idea of these two powerful families joining forces had been big news, and everyone wanted a piece of it. But now, things were starting to look... complicated.

Especially with someone nearby offering commentary like a machine gun.

Mo Zhengtian's face was completely dark now, his lips twitching hard. "Xu Hao, what's that supposed to mean? Are you looking down on us?"

"No need to get so worked up. I'm just thinking long-term. Now that the two of them are engaged, it's in both our families' interests—"

"For both families?" Mo Zhengtian sneered. "Sounds more like you don't care about the Mo family at all. You're just trying to use my daughter to carry on your family name. Can't believe you even said that out loud."

Mo Zhengtian had always cared a lot about appearances, and this situation hit a nerve. He completely lost it.

The whole room seemed to freeze. A few servers came over, sensing the tension and wanting to calm things down—but one glare from Mo Zhengtian sent them backing off fast.

Mo Xiaoyun stood on the side, throwing desperate glances at Mo Zhengtian.

She didn't want this to blow up. But with him already this angry, there was no stopping it.

"I don't think much of the Mo family either," Xu Hao said coldly. "We've barely said anything and you're already throwing a fit. Maybe we should reconsider this daughter-in-law. If Xu Rong breaks off the engagement, who knows how many girls would be lining up for him."

He even raised his voice at the end of that sentence, making sure the whole room heard it.

Just as Mo Zhengtian was about to speak again, that familiar laugh rang out in their ears, dripping with mockery:
