Chapter 32
Found a Fallback Guy
Everyone was relieved.
“But we all know that the bigger the red packets we receive now, the bigger the red packets we’ll give in the future.” Mama Gong glanced at them in a smug manner.
Big Aunt quickly laughed. “Look at you. How can we not give you guys big red packets when Momo is getting married? We’d be letting his family laugh at us, wouldn’t we?”
“Then I thank you for your kindness!” said Mama Gong.
“Okay, okay. it’s late, let’s go back now.” Big Aunt stood up. “If there’s anything we can help with, just let us know. We’re all family.”
Gong Mo and Mama Gong sent them to the door. Gong Fei, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly piped up. “Cousin!”
Gong Mo looked at her. “Yeah?”
Gong Fei was two years younger than her. She was still studying in university at the film school. She wanted to become a star. She always dressed up to look good for any scouts.
Gong Fei’s clothes were all name-brand. Who knows if they were genuine or fake. Gong Mo thought they were mostly fake. After all, a genuine item cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. She still wasn’t successful yet. How could she possibly afford them? But even so, her presence made the others standing around her look like bumpkins.
Gong Fei smiled and her eyes were very bright as she said, “Isn’t your ex-boyfriend Sheng Donglin? Why aren’t you holding a big wedding if you’re getting married with him?”
“Yeah! Isn’t your boyfriend Sheng Donglin?” the others exclaimed.
Mama Gong was the only one who knew about Gong Mo and Sheng Donglin’s relationship. The reason they knew about it was because Gong Fei once saw her out on a date with Sheng Donglin.
But they had always thought that given Sheng Donglin’s wealthy family, his feelings for Gong Mo wouldn’t be sincere and they had been waiting for the day he dumped her.
“We have already broken up,” Gong Mo said tepidly. “I only met the person I’m going to marry afterward.”
With that said, she was about to close the door.
Gong Fei held the door open. “Really? I only saw you guys out on a date last month!”
“You must have seen wrong!”
“Cousin…” Gong Fei laughed. “I know you are embarrassed, but what’s there to hide between family? I thought you were going to marry into a rich family and become a rich young lady. What happened? They got what they wanted from you and dumped you?”
“Gong Fei!” Gong Mo was infuriated.
Gong Fei glanced at her tummy. “It looks like you are pregnant with his child, but he didn’t want to take responsibility, so you found a fallback guy, right? That’s not right. How can you take advantage of a guileless person like that?”
“Sister-in-law!” Mama Gong shouted. “Keep your daughter in line!”
Big Aunt quickly pulled Gong Fei over and scolded her. “What nonsense are you spouting?! Is your cousin that kind of person? Hurry up and go home!” With that said, she apologized to Mama Gong. “Don’t be angry, Feifei is recently taking part in a play where she acts as a unkind woman, so she’s been practicing.”
“Even you know that she’s being sharp and unkind!” Mama Gong shouted. “I’m telling you! No one is allowed to make these kinds of comments tomorrow, otherwise don’t blame me for not being polite!”
With that said, Mama Gong slammed the door shut with a bang and started crying.
Gong Mo quickly went to hug her. “Mom… don’t be angry.”
“They don’t treat us like family at all!” Mama Gong grew more upset as she spoke.
Gong Mo said softly, “Mom… why don’t you go to the capital with us?”
“Nonsense.” Mama Gong sniffled. “It’s late already. Go to sleep. We’ll talk about future plans next time.”
On the second day, Sheng Nanxuan came to pick them up to go to the restaurant. Seeing their unhappy faces, he quietly asked Gong Mo, “What happened? Auntie looks like she’s upset.”
