Lady Meilin is seduced by her green tea brother-in-law everyday-Chapter 78: Tea with a princess special...[2]

In the flying car, which was heading to The Hollow, Mei Mei did not miss a single second of the show. Jingzhe was hand feeding her popcorn while she enjoyed the beans being spilled.

Mrs. Xu had come with many pictures of Tang Yue. "Back then, her name was not Tang Yue, it was Ma Biyue. One day, an expensive car came to the neighborhood and the visitors visited the Ma’s. Two days later, they packed up and left Sea city without telling anyone where they were going.

We only found out after six years that they had been recognized by a wealthy relative and moved to the capital. All the children were no longer going by their paternal surname Ma but maternal surname Tang." she sneered, making her disapproval obvious.

"Wow, so they packed and run in the night like thieves." Rize gushed.

Mrs. Xu nodded. "They even left debts behind. Ma Pencheng owed my husband two hundred yuan that he has never paid back to date. They even took one jar of honey, one pair of chopsticks, two cups.... " Mrs. Xu unfolded one of the papers she had brought to read off all the things that Tang Yue’s family had taken which did not belong to them.

Some people snickered when Mrs. Xu mentioned a kilogram of beans and some dried fish.

"When my son brought home Tang Yue as his girlfriend I was very angry. What kind of good girl can be raised by a family that does not pay back small debts? When I brought it up with her parents they denied it all and called me a liar and uneducated, uncivilized woman." Mrs. Xu huffed.

Rize encouraged Mrs. Xu to take a sip of tea. The older woman drunk the entire cup and asked for more. She was making the audience laugh with her authentic behaviors. Many people were finding her relatable to their wives, mothers or grandmothers.

Show assistants and employees of Phoenix Tv passed around disposable cups of the sweet dark berry tea and muffins to those that wanted.

Rize meanwhile exposed a new picture of the trio on a screen behind the stage. In this picture, they were teenagers and Tang Yue was holding the arms of both boys, smiling broadly at the camera. "So, we found evidence that the relationship between Tang Yue, Mo Liang and your son Caleb Xu was complicated. It seems to me like there was a love triangle which formed in their teenage years. When Jun Meilin was added to it, it became a rectangle."

Specific places in the picture were highlighted. Tang Yue was holding onto Caleb Xu’s arm but her fingers were interlocked with Mo Liang’s.

"Body language speaks volumes. From this picture, our psychology expert has determined that the relationship between Tang Yue and Mo Liang was more intimate than the one between her and your son. Can you tell us more about what happened when these three met again and how she came to become your daughter-in-law?"

"I..." Mr. Xu started.

Mrs Xu shushed him and some people everywhere snickered. Many felt sorry for Mr. Xu, his wife seemed to be overbearing.

"My Caleb was a genius," Mrs. Xu started in a proud voice. "He received a scholarship to attend school in the capital basing on his grades alone. As for that Mo Liang, he was nothing special, not in looks or brains. He was more than average but what he lacked in those departments, he made up for in scheming and charming others. He has the qualities of a con man."

Rize hid her face behind a paper to stifle her laughter. Mrs. Xu was the definition of unhinged or maybe she was just too honest.

"When Caleb moved here, he met Ma...Tang Yue again. They were attending the same school so their friendship picked up right where it left off. I think she was just using him for his grades. I wanted to keep a closer eye on my son so our whole family decided to move. My husband sold his shop, with that money we bought a smaller apartment in the city and opened a bakery." She looked at the camera and smiled, "Xuxu’s bakery, we sell the best pastries in the city. We have ten branches all over the city today. We also deliver, our phone number is...."

The show suddenly went for a short break without warning and a Tao foods advert was played.

Mei Mei nearly chocked on the popcorn she was chewing. Mrs. Xu was really bold, she had decided to do some advertising while the opportunity was available. Tea with a princess was sponsored by at least three food companies. None would be too pleased that a competitor had just done some free advertising.

The show returned with an audience that was still laughing. Mrs. Xu, they found, was a delightful woman, she was not perfect but she was likeable.

"Welcome back from that short break." Rize said to the audience. "We experienced some technical difficulties. Where did we leave off?"

"Tang Yue was using my son for free tutoring and to do her homework." Mrs. Xu eagerly filled in.

"Yes." Rize laughed lightly. "Well, two families had moved to the capital city. The Mo family was the last to move and I can provide the answer to that. Their opportunity arrived because Mo Liang saved the life of my niece in a fire that happened after an explosion in a lab."

On the screen, the video of Mo Liang’s rescue was played. Even though it had been viewed many times over the years, people still closed their eyes when they saw it.

The video vanished and Rize spoke, "After that rescue, princess Chi Lian supported the Mo family. When she asked Mo Liang what reward he wanted, he requested for a scholarship, citing financial problems in his family. The request seemed humble at the time and it was fulfilled. Mo Liang ended up attending the same high school as Jun Meilin, Caleb Xu and Tang Yue. That is how the three childhood friends came to be reunited. Isn’t fate a funny thing?"
