Chapter 311: Chapter 309: Just a Jack of All Trades

At that moment, Leng Lingxiao’s mother, Yang Aihua, was joyfully watching Tang Xiaowan.

The scene in the tea restaurant suddenly flashed in her mind.

After all, everyone had met once before, but at that time, Tang Xiaowan didn’t know the two elders were Leng Lingxiao’s parents, and now it was different, everyone was well aware, "You are our Leng Family’s future daughter-in-law, and we are your future father-in-law and mother-in-law."

That jade bracelet full of green had already said everything.

"The weather is really nice today," said Yang Aihua, "why don’t we all take a walk in the garden and enjoy the flowers?"

Yang Aihua’s suggestion was met with unanimous approval from everyone present, including Leng Lingxiao, who wore a mischievous smile, except for Tang Xiaowan, who remained silent.

Thus, everyone made their way into the elevator.

"Yes, the weather is indeed better than in Huang City, not too cold or too hot, quite suitable for an outdoor gathering," Leng Jiangping mentioned after pressing the button for the first floor.

Upon hearing this, Yang Aihua immediately looked towards Tang Mei and Wang Jinhui, who seemed to be lost in thought.

"Mr. Wang, Mrs. Tang, how about we change the venue for this evening and have dinner in the pavilion? It would be quite comfortable to dine outside in the natural breeze!"

Tang Mei nodded with a smile: "Yes, after dinner we can take a walk and look at the night view."

"That sounds good," Jinghui agreed.

The four elders made their decisions in a smooth flow of conversation as if Tang Xiaowan and Leng Lingxiao had nothing to do with it.

During the conversation, the first floor was reached.

Everyone stepped out of the elevator one by one, went through the lobby, and continued chatting leisurely as they moved outdoors.

The sun’s rays sprinkled warmth amidst the grass and atop the flowers, adding another layer of warmth to the garden, and the koi in the fountain seemed to sense the joy of the upcoming happy event, frolicking especially cheerfully.

Leng Lingxiao and Tang Xiaowan walked ahead, hand in hand, while the four elders strolled leisurely behind them.

However, it wasn’t long before the straightforward Yang Aihua started to get impatient. She quickened her pace, caught up with Tang Xiaowan, and naturally took hold of her other hand, which was idle.

A smile briefly crossed her lips.

Yang Aihua was reminded of herself when she first met her in-laws, just as flustered and reserved.

"Xiao Wan, I hear from Ling Xiao that you like spicy food, is that right?" Yang Aihua asked gently.

"Yes, that’s right, Auntie. What kind of dishes do you like?" Tang Xiaowan replied cheerily, then glanced at Leng Lingxiao with a playful squint, seemingly seeking help.

It was just too awkward for three people to hold hands!

"Auntie has the same taste as you, I especially like spicy food. Now that we have you, I finally have someone to join me as an ally, hahaha."

The unspoken message was that we are one family.

Hearing this, Tang Xiaowan’s cheeks turned even redder. She lowered her head and twirled a strand of her hair with her finger, unsure of how to respond next.

Just then, Leng Lingxiao suddenly spoke up, "Mom, you and Grandma Tang can keep chatting. Tangtang and I are going to take a stroll ahead."

Yang Aihua gave him a fierce look and then, rather unwillingly, let go of Tang Xiaowan’s hand.

At that moment, what she really wanted to say was: "Son, are you silly? Am I not paving the way for you? Don’t you want to get the certificate and get married?"

As if Leng Lingxiao had heard her thoughts, he shouted back after walking several meters away, "Mom, Tangtang wants to eat your cooking tonight, make plenty, both fish and meat."

Her son’s words made Yang Aihua beam with happiness.

At the same time, Wang Jinhui looked towards Tang Mei, only to notice a slight frown on her face, probably because she was reluctant to see her granddaughter married off so quickly. Even though not her biological grandchild, they had relied on each other for over a decade.

With this thought, he moved half a step closer.

"Xiao Wan is such a cute girl, and she really hits it off with Brother Leng... no, with Ling Xiao."

Wang Jinhui had always referred to Leng Lingxiao as a brother, but now that Tang Mei was part of the family, he naturally had to use a more respectful form of address.

"Yes, Ling Xiao is always indulging her," Tang Mei said thoughtfully. "It’s just that she’s too mischievous, and it’s my fault for spoiling her so much."

Jiang Ping hurriedly interjected with a chuckle: "Mrs. Tang need not worry. Aihua and I have no daughters, and we took to Xiao Wan the moment we met her. She’s clever and charming, with a kind heart. Besides, Ling Xiao’s admiration for Xiao Wan is not new, he will definitely pamper her like a treasure after they’re married."

Following that, Yang Aihua quickly added, "Exactly, exactly, what Jiang Ping said is also my sentiment. As long as Xiao Wan is happy, after they’re married, she can live wherever she wants. Mrs. Tang, you can be completely at ease on this matter."
