The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 7

Prev | Directory | Next

[Hahahahahaha, why are the guy's parents always this full of themselves?]

[Young Master Xu's gay, and to keep the family name going and save face, the whole family's in on this marriage scam. And Xu Hao still thinks he's got it all figured out—meanwhile, his son's out there getting his ass pounded. Like people are actually lining up to marry him.]

[Trash marries trash, I guess it fits.]

[Ugh, probably no one knows Xu Rong came out. Coming out is whatever—people are open these days. But scamming someone into marriage? That's just straight-up scummy.]

Xu Hao chalked it up to a hallucination, though guilt did start gnawing at him. After all, it was the truth. If this kind of thing got out, who knew how much it would wreck their family's rep. And his own reputation...

"Uncle, Auntie, please don't be mad. Dad, let's go home and talk, okay?" Mo Xiaoyun was still trying to smooth things over for the Xu family.

Stuff like this couldn't be discussed in public—if it spread, she'd become a joke in their entire circle.

Her engagement to Xu Rong had already been hyped to the heavens by her mom.

Back when Zhang Xiufeng landed the golden goose that was Xu Rong, she spammed social media showing him off, telling everyone how handsome and amazing her son-in-law was. Half the social circle already knew about the Mo-Xu engagement, and some even sent early gifts.

Mo Zhengtian looked around and realized just how unusually quiet it had gotten. Every word they said felt way too loud.

"We'll talk when we get home," he said, finally pulling it back together.

Mo Keyu felt a little disappointed—no showdown between the two old men? And even worse, Mo Xiaoyun actually held it together?

Just when Mo Keyu was getting bored enough to dip out, Xu Rong came back.

[What the hell, he came back? Not bad, not bad. More drama incoming.]

His eyes were a little red, his lips kind of swollen, and he walked like something wasn't quite right.

[Whew, that must've been one hell of a kiss. Gotta ask—was there an R-rated sequel?]

[Eh, probably not. That'd be way too short.]

People at nearby tables kept sneaking glances over, some practically begging for binoculars.

When Xu Rong walked back in, he immediately felt the shift—something about the vibe was off. Everyone... was way too quiet...

"Xiaoyun, I'm back," he walked over and took Mo Xiaoyun's hand, apparently still clueless about what just went down.

Mo Xiaoyun at least had to keep up appearances for the crowd—especially with Mo Keyu watching.

"You're back, good. We've all been waiting for you." She acted all gentle and considerate, and Madam Xu finally backed off.

Still, Xu Rong rushed to explain himself, probably afraid someone would get suspicious. "I had something urgent come up just now and left in a hurry. Sorry."

[Wow. Even lied with a touch of deep emotion. I'm actually crying.]

That voice again—but this time, Xu Rong didn't take it seriously.

Of everyone at the table, the one who took it the most seriously was definitely Mo Zhengtian. The voice had already proven itself right once, and now, he fully believed what it said.

Xu Rong was still lying. Mo Zhengtian couldn't even imagine the kind of backstabbing that might happen if their families actually teamed up.

"Mo Keyu, take your sister and leave," this time, Mo Zhengtian spoke directly to Mo Keyu.

In his mind, it had always been Mo Xiaoyun taking care of her.

He'd always thought Mo Keyu was slow, timid, and nowhere near as sharp as Mo Xiaoyun.

But now, he was putting Mo Keyu out in front—telling her to take Mo Xiaoyun away.

"Okay, Dad," Mo Keyu answered immediately, showing some proper daughterly respect.

She stood up, her bright red dress striking and beautiful. A rare kind of beauty—even Xu Rong's parents couldn't help sneaking a few extra glances her way.

The whole time during their conversation earlier, Xu Rong's parents kept sneaking glances at Mo Keyu—but this girl had no posture when she sat, no manners when she ate, and was even blasting her game on speaker. Zero class. What a waste of a good-looking shell.

"Let's go, sister. We'll head home first," Mo Keyu said, enthusiastically reaching for Mo Xiaoyun's hand. As she passed by Xu Rong, she even tossed in a casual jab, "Oh my, Young Master Xu, your lips look like they're about to bleed. You should really take care of that."

Xu Rong's mouth twitched slightly as he kept up the act, "Thanks for the reminder, I'll be more careful."

"That's good. Wouldn't want any misunderstandings later."

"Heh, you sure have a sense of humor." Xu Rong gave her a fake smile.

Mo Keyu was about to go in for more snark, but the murderous look on Old Mo's face made her drop the idea instantly. She grabbed Mo Xiaoyun and left.

Rustling sounds came from the nearby tables. People were whispering.

These bystanders had a better grasp of the gossip than the people involved. Some even pieced together the whole story of the two families.

Basically, the Xu family's eldest son was gay. To fulfill his family duties, he found Mo Xiaoyun, the Mo family's second daughter, to fake a marriage. The plan was to have a kid and then kick her out, so he could go back to his lovers.

People in the crowd were already clicking their tongues. The engagement between the two families had been all over the social scene recently. Even folks who didn't really know the Mo and Xu families had heard about it. And now the truth turned out to be this?

As soon as they stepped out the front doors, Mo Xiaoyun yanked her hand away in disgust.

"Little sister ah, I have to say, your fiancé Young Master Xu is really something. Good-looking, but a bit on the delicate side. Seems like not only girls like him—a lot of big strong guys do too," Mo Keyu said out of nowhere.

That line lit Mo Xiaoyun up like a firecracker. "Mo Keyu, what the hell are you trying to say? Are you mocking me? My fiancé is so handsome, and you're just jealous—spreading lies that he's into men!"

"Hmm? When did I ever say Xu Rong likes men?" Mo Keyu blinked innocently.

A few socialite girls happened to walk by and couldn't help sneaking glances at them.

Mo Xiaoyun, being part of the socialite crowd herself, turned green from embarrassment as these glammed-up rich girls stared her down.

Meanwhile, Mo Keyu was laughing hysterically inside. The heiresses who had been strolling and eating gossip up now looked freaked out by the laugh echoing in their heads and sped up to get away.
