The elders couldn't hold their smiles. What does a substitute mean?

The person involved, Mo Tingyu, pressed his forehead. As expected, he shouldn't have held out hope for his cousin Xiao Xia's thoughts, and he still let them out!

Forget it, he had no intention of hiding it anyway. As long as he married Yaoyao, he would have to meet his family sooner or later, so it was only a matter of time before his cousin Xiaoxia found out.

He held Bai Haiyao's hand tightly, signaling her not to be nervous.

How could Bai Haiyao not be nervous? This is what she really feels!

The cousin who hadn't opened her mouth just now suddenly spoke, and judging from everyone's expressions, it seemed that they were not surprised by the strange sound. It was obvious that they had heard it before!

Of course, there was also a man wearing black-framed glasses at the scene who expressed surprise, but he was quickly suppressed by the girl next to him.

Xu Qingshu could no longer laugh. She glared at her son first, then reluctantly nodded at Bai Haiyao: "Everyone, please take a seat and eat first. We'll talk after dinner."

Everyone took their seats. Xu Qingshu originally had a lot of questions to ask Bai Haiyao, but now he was not interested anymore.

She was about to pull her son away to ask him what was going on, to ask him if he knew he was being used as a stand-in, when she heard You Xiaoxia's inner voice say, "Wow, it turns out that cousin Tingyu knows he's a stand-in."

There was silence at the big round table again, and everyone looked at Mo Tingyu in surprise. It turned out that he knew it himself!

Well, as long as you don't get cheated, it's fine! It's just a matter of willingness.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But surprisingly, Bai Haiyao also looked at Mo Tingyu with surprise: Did he know that she was just using him as a stand-in? !

Then...why is he still so nice to me?

For some reason, Bai Haiyao lowered her head feeling a little sad.

At this moment, everyone noticed that You Xiaoxia suddenly started laughing.

In fact, her movements were very small, but everyone's attention was on her, so any small movement could be easily discovered.

Song Linlang, who was sitting next to her, shouldered the pressure of the elders' gazes and asked You Xiaoxia, "What are you laughing at?"

You Xiaoxia cleared her throat and said, "I'm not laughing."

Song Linlang: “…” If my vision in both eyes wasn’t 5.0, I would believe you.

[Hahaha, I just suddenly thought of something! ]

Everyone: What's the matter?

[So the Mo family has a romantic family! What kind of gene is this? Three siblings, one romantic family, that's pretty average! Haha. ]

Mo Mengdi: “…” At this time, can’t you forget me?

Mo Tingyu: “…” I also want to let go, but I can’t do it!

Only Song Xiangbei frowned, poked his arm at Song Xiangchen beside him, and whispered: "Xiao Xia, are you wrong? There is no romantic in our family."

Song Xiangchen looked at his elder brother silently, once, then again, looking him up and down, from left to right.

Don't you understand? It's you, Song Xiangbei! The one in the original book who bankrupted his family just for love!

Song Xiangbei: “…” I am more wronged than Dou E, who can I go to for justice?

Song Xiangbei wanted to explain, but Song Xiangchen refused to listen. He covered his ears with his hands and shook his head: "I don't want to listen. Song Xiangbei is reciting the sutra."

Song Xiangbei sighed angrily.

The dishes were served quickly, but Mo Pingtao and Xu Qingshu, a couple sitting at the table, no longer had any appetite.

As long as the parents love their children, no one would watch their children become a substitute for others!

"Everyone, start eating." Mo Pingxin winked at his younger brothers and sisters-in-law: If you have anything to say, wait until we get back and don't embarrass the children in front of many people!

Mo Pingtao and his wife sighed.

The dishes were good, and You Xiaoxia ate happily without a care in the world. However, when she looked up, she saw that her uncle's family across the street looked unhappy. She whispered to Song Linlang, "What's wrong with my uncle? They're not happy to see their son's girlfriend for the first time? It's not the first time they meet, so they shouldn't show displeasure!"

Song Linlang: "...Maybe they are not satisfied with cousin Tingyu's girlfriend."

You Xiaoxia raised her eyebrows: [Are you dissatisfied? I think uncle and aunt should accept the reality as soon as possible. After all, your son loves her so much! ]

Mo Tingyu paused for a moment, then put the dish into Bai Haiyao's bowl as if nothing had happened.

With a snap, Xu Qingshu slapped down the chopsticks. She said with a gloomy face: "Mo Tingyu, come out with me!"

Mo Tingyu sighed, but still forced a smile at his girlfriend and said softly, "You eat first, I'll be back soon."

Bai Haiyao put down her chopsticks uncomfortably.

As soon as the door of the private room was closed, Xu Qingshu exploded: "Mo Tingyu, are you out of your mind? She doesn't have you in her heart at all, what are you doing?"

"Mom, I..."

"Don't call me mom!" Xu Qingshu looked at his son with dismay, "Can you be more capable? Be a stand-in? You've come up with that!"

"Your father and I don't require the other person's family background, education, or appearance. Isn't that open-minded enough? But you have to know that if the other person doesn't love you, and has someone else in his heart, even if you two are together, can it last long in the future?"

Mo Tingyu's face was full of embarrassment. Cousin Xiao Xia, you have really caused me so much trouble!

You Xiaoxia was still wondering, the door of the private room was not closed tightly, and everyone in the room heard Xu Qingshu scolding her son.

She leaned over and asked Song Linlang, "How did my aunt know that cousin Tingyu was a stand-in?"

Song Linlang sighed: "The elders have sharp eyes. They have eaten more salt than we have eaten rice. It's not surprising that they can see something!"

This made sense, You Xiaoxia nodded.

Bai Haiyao couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up and walked out: "Auntie, please stop scolding him, it's all my fault. Tingyu, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Mo Tingyu panicked and quickly caught up with Bai Haiyao: "Yaoyao, wait a minute, listen to my explanation."

Bai Haiyao, who had just turned the corner, actually stopped because she also had something to say.

"So you already knew that I...used you as a substitute."

Mo Tingyu sighed and nodded.

Bai Haiyao felt embarrassed as if her secret had been exposed: "In that case, Tingyu, let's break up."

"No, no, no," Mo Tingyu was frightened. He held Bai Haiyao's shoulders and said, "Yaoyao, I already knew that you used me as a substitute, but I don't mind. I am willing to be your substitute as long as you stay with me."

Mo Tingyu even forced a smile as he spoke: "I know, you like me laughing, right? Because when I laugh I look most like him!"

Seeing her son's useless look, Xu Qingshu, who was not far away, pressed her forehead. Xiao Xia was right, her son was indeed a love-brained person!

[Wow, my cousin is so good! He is humble and yet so good! ]

Xu Qingshu turned around immediately and realized that there were already crowds of people behind her without her noticing.

Everyone stopped eating and ran out.

You Xiaoxia took the lead, and the younger generations all crowded in the front to eat the melons. It’s not that the elders didn’t want to squeeze in, but they couldn’t squeeze past the children, so they could only tiptoe and follow behind to watch.

Xu Qingshu: "..."

Hearing cousin Xiao Xia's thoughts, Mo Tingyu and Bai Haiyao both froze for a moment.

Mo Tingyu ignored those onlookers and gritted his teeth: "Haiyao, don't break up with me. Think about it, if you break up, where can you find someone who looks so much like him!"

[What my cousin said makes a lot of sense. I can’t refute it.]

Bai Haiyao, who was about to speak, paused: "..." Very good, I also forgot what I was going to say.

Mo Tingyu took the opportunity to hug Bai Haiyao and said pitifully, "Haiyao, don't leave me, okay?"

[Wow, hugs!] You Xiaoxia watched with great interest, [But why did Bai Haiyao choose my cousin as a stand-in? Let me see.]

Bai Haiyao froze, and put down her hand that was about to hug Mo Tingyu back.
