CHAPTER 164: CHAPTER 159: DON’T WANT TO BRING AN ANCESTOR BACK (THREE MORE)

"Yaoyao, I don’t mind that Jimo’s fifth child is two years older than our Kaikai. What’s giving me a headache is their family background."

Tong Yao burst out laughing. "Why am I just now realizing you’re such a worldly person! What’s so bad about their family background? Just because they’re rich and have a relative who’s a head of state? Is our Kaikai inferior? Our Kaikai also has an uncle who’s a prime minister. Our family might not have as much money as theirs, but over the years, you’ve already become a hidden billionaire. And the shares Long Che gave you in Zhuoyuan are enough for you and your family to live for generations."

"I was thinking of finding a child from an ordinary family," Ning Mingxi mumbled. "I don’t want to bring home an ancestor."

Tong Yao furrowed her brow slightly. "So, you’re saying our Little Raindrop and Ni’er are ancestors too?"

Ning Mingxi shouted, "Other people’s kids can’t compare to our Little Raindrop and Ni’er. What kind of education have they received? With you around, the kids won’t grow up crooked."

"Then how do you know the Jimo family’s child grew up crooked?" Tong Yao huffed in annoyance. "You keep saying you don’t want a rich family’s child, but back then, didn’t you also have a thing for Luowa? Her second uncle’s wealth now is on par with the Jimo family."

Ning Mingxi coughed awkwardly. "Wasn’t I just joking back then?"

Tong Yao chuckled helplessly. "Why don’t you discuss it with my brother again? This isn’t something we can decide; it’s up to those two kids. We don’t even know what they think yet. I’m just giving you a heads-up."

"Alright, let’s have a meeting at home tonight and see what the father and son have to say," Ning Mingxi agreed quite readily.

Tong Yao hung up the phone and came out to find Mai Zekai had arrived too. She smiled and said, "I just got off the phone with your mom."

Mai Zekai spoke slowly, "Was it about me? Auntie, I’m not ready to deal with personal matters right now."

Tong Yao glanced at Little Raindrop, who shook her head.

Tong Yao walked over cheerfully. "Don’t like Shanshan?"

"Not only do I not like her, I downright dislike her," Mai Zekai said as he adjusted his glasses in slow motion.

"Huh..." Tong Yao was a bit confused and turned to her son for answers. As brothers, he should have a clue why the seventh disliked Jimo Shanshan.

Tong Airui smirked slightly. "Every time they meet, they fight."

"What?! Shanshan has the best temperament in her family, and you’re the most mild-tempered in ours. How do you two even manage to start fights?"

"They’re both alphas. Neither will back down," Tong Airui walked over, draped an arm around his mom’s shoulders, and laughed. "But the main thing is, this guy has his eyes on your daughter-in-law."

Mai Zekai nodded repeatedly. "Exactly, exactly. I’m into Luowa. If I can’t find someone like her, I might as well stay single forever."

Tong Airui raised a hand and smacked him. "You’re so full of yourself! My wife is one of a kind in this world. What, do you think you can clone her or something?"

Mai Zekai rubbed his head and grinned cheekily. "Why don’t you just give me Luowa, then?"

Tong Airui rolled his eyes at him. "First, Old Eight tries to drive me crazy, and now you’re trying to. Fine. Tomorrow I’m signing you both up for brain surgery, so you can dream all you want—it won’t matter."

Long Che chuckled at the two of them, then turned to Tong Yao. "If Kaikai doesn’t agree, just turn them down already. Don’t push the kid into obsessing over our daughter-in-law."

Yi Luowa pursed her lips and smiled.

Tong Yao also laughed. "Mingxi said they’d have a family meeting tonight. Once they’ve got a decision, I’ll let Yueya’er know. If we turn them down too quickly, it’ll hurt Big Brother and Mo Bao’s pride."

"Alright, you handle it," Long Che said, glancing at the time. "Let’s go out for dinner."

Tong Yao looked at Yi Luowa. "What do you feel like eating? Let’s try somewhere different today."

"I’m easy," Yi Luowa said with a bright smile, holding Duoduo’s little hand. "Duoduo, what do you feel like eating?"

"Mama..."

"You want to eat Mama?!" Yi Luowa laughed as she tapped his forehead.

Everyone laughed along.

Long Che looked at his son-in-law. "Monica, go call your aunt and uncle and have them join us."

When Tong Airui heard there would be outsiders, he looked at Yi Luowa and asked, "Honey, do you need to change clothes?"

Yi Luowa glanced down at her outfit—simple sky-blue loungewear. "This is too casual. I’ll go change."

Saying this, Yi Luowa picked up Duoduo and headed to the caregiver’s room to change. Tong Airui frowned at Little Raindrop. "Sis, you hold Duoduo. My wife’s leg is still injured, and you’re okay with letting her carry him around?"

Little Raindrop laughed. "I’ve never seen anyone dote on their wife like you do. But Duoduo insists on sticking with me."

Tong Airui glared at Little Raindrop unhappily.

Little Raindrop smiled, quickly chased after Yi Luowa, and went with her into the caregiver’s room.

In no time, Yi Luowa came out wearing a silver-purple gown, with Little Raindrop carrying Duoduo.

Little Raindrop winked at her younger brother, a hint of mystery in her expression. "Hey, Fourth Brother, you’re in for a treat!"
