Transmigrating To The 80s To Become Stepmom To Five Bigwigs Chapter 440 - The Most Tragic Revenge

Chapter 440: The Most Tragic Revenge

“If the gifts. .h.i.t the right chord, it’s possible that they’ll change their form of address in advance, right?”

“They’re very principled, so stop wasting your effort.” Mu Jingzhe was helpless. “Why are you in such a hurry? It won’t make a difference even if they change it later.”

“It will. The earlier they change the way they address me, the earlier I will become their father. You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to be their father. I’ve been preparing for this for a long time. I’ve even dreamed of it.”

Ji Buw.a.n.g said this because he wanted to be a father, but he was actually confessing to Mu Jingzhe that he had liked her for a long time.

“Then think about it in your dreams.” Mu Jingzhe looked at the time. “Alright, let’s leave it at that for now. n.o.body talks on the phone like this.” In this era, phone bills weren’t cheap.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but take out Little Buw.a.n.g and stroke his head and face. She also couldn’t help but kiss him.

After doing that, Mu Jingzhe played with the doll unconsciously again. She wanted to open the box before the wedding, but after trying to open it for a long time, she still hadn’t managed to do it.

“Why can’t I open it? Ji Buw.a.n.g, what kind of words did you use? Do you want me to try them all one by one by using the dictionary?”

Mu Jingzhe wished she could just force it open, but in the end, she held back. “You can’t be violent. You have to use your brain! Mu Jingzhe, you’re a person with brains!”

Mu Jingzhe tried to form the word ‘brain’, but she naturally failed.

“I must be mad to use the word ‘brain’. Ji Buw.a.n.g would never give me a gift to mock me for being brainless.”

After trying for a while, Mu Jingzhe finally gave up. “Forget it. I’ll eventually solve it in this lifetime. That’s it for today.”

Two days later, Ji Buw.a.n.g and Old Master Ji came together. This time, they were there to deliver the betrothal gifts. They came on an auspicious day that had been chosen long ago.

Because they didn’t have many family members, Tang Moling was allowed to come.

Tang Moling finally saw Mu Jingzhe again, but it was because he had joined his uncle to give her the betrothal gift. In the end, Mu Jingzhe still became his aunt. This world was very cruel to him.

What was even crueler was that he was also forced by his uncle to change his form of address in advance. When Mu Jingzhe greeted him, he immediately called her ‘Aunt’.

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but laugh. Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng’s expressions were also extremely strange.

Who would have thought that the famous Tang Moling of Great Eastern Village would actually call Mu Jingzhe ‘Aunt’?

Li Zhaodi suddenly thought that if nothing had happened to Mu Xue and Tang Moling back then, wouldn’t Mu Xue, as her cousin, have to call Jingzhe ‘Aunt’ as well?

Thinking about it was actually quite satisfying. Previously, Mu Xue had suppressed Mu Jingzhe so much that she hadn’t even been able to lift her head. When they got married, she would be suppressed by Mu Jingzhe, who would be her aunt.

Li Zhaodi laughed out loud at the thought.

Tang Moling: “…”

Why was she laughing so loudly? Was she that happy? He suddenly understood the literary saying: “The joys and sorrows of humans are not interlinked. I only think that they are noisy.”

Ji Buw.a.n.g patted Tang Moling’s shoulder. “Looks like they like you a lot. When you get married, Uncle will give you a big red packet.”

Tang Moling snorted, not wanting to talk to Ji Buw.a.n.g at all. He wanted to calm down, but Ji Buw.a.n.g didn’t let him off.

“Wait, since you called her ‘Aunt’, don’t you know how to greet her parents too?”

Since he was greeting his new relatives, he should greet them all at once.

“How… How should I address them?” Tang Moling really didn’t know. He hadn’t expected that he would have to greet Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng.

Li Zhaodi was also a little surprised, but when she saw Ji Buw.a.n.g’s questioning gaze, she quickly replied, “Over here, one would say ‘Granduncle’ and ‘Grandaunt’.”

Tang Moling: “Granduncle?”

How strange.

“Mm.” He called this out tentatively, but Mu Teng responded. Then, everyone looked at Tang Moling, waiting for him to call out again.

Tang Moling screamed for help in his heart. What kind of demonic scene was this?

Standing beside him, Mu Jingzhe looked at Tang Moling and felt sorry for him. It felt like a child was calling for help right before her eyes.

Children were always the most awkward and pitiful when greeting relatives. She just hadn’t expected this child to be Tang Moling.

The five kids were all there, but Tang Moling was the one who had to suffer through this.

Mu Jingzhe looked at Tang Moling sympathetically. Tang Moling was on the verge of breaking down. He felt that this was retribution from the heavens. Who had told him to look down on Li Zhaodi, Mu Teng, and Mu Jingzhe back then and mock them in all sorts of ways?

Now, retribution had come. He reasonably suspected that his uncle was doing it on purpose. He knew what he had done in the past, so he deliberately tormented him like this today to please his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

He was way too scheming.

Tang Moling felt aggrieved, but he didn’t dare say a word. Under Li Zhaodi’s gaze, he shouted out helplessly, “Grand… Grandaunt!”

“Aye.”

Li Zhaodi responded. Seeing Tang Moling obediently greet her without daring to say anything, she suddenly felt that things had changed.

In the past, Tang Moling had been the most outstanding child in Great Eastern Village. He used to be high and mighty, like the stars in the sky, looking down at them all as though they were mere ants. He had only fawned over Old Lady Mu and the Mu Family. But now, everything had changed.

It all felt like a dream. She had never imagined that this day would come.

Li Zhaodi was overjoyed, and her already good culinary skills had improved even further. The dishes on the table were delicious. Tang Moling, who was initially depressed, said that he didn’t have much of an appet.i.te, but his eyes lit up when he started eating. He buried his head in his food and kept praising it and calling it delicious.

Tang Moling was puzzled. “Grandaunt, you cook really well. Why didn’t you cook at the Mu Residence?”

After eating the delicious food, he called her ‘Grandaunt’ very smoothly.

“Because I was prevented from eating in secret and hiding.” Since Tang Moling had asked, Li Zhaodi answered. “Have you forgotten?”

Tang Moling: “I haven’t…”

Now that he thought about it, it seemed like it had indeed been said that Li Zhaodi would secretly eat food. At the time, he had really despised Li Zhaodi. He had felt the same way for Mu Jingzhe. A lot had been said about breaking her hand or something like that.

After Tang Moling finished speaking, he felt an extremely intense gaze on him that couldn’t be ignored. He followed the gaze and saw the cold-faced Mu Han. It was as if he was asking if he still had the cheek to talk about this and eat her food.

Upon seeing Mu Han, Tang Moling froze again. He suddenly remembered that he had taught Mu Han a lesson for Mu Xue a long time ago and asked why he only acknowledged Mu Jingzhe as his older sister. Mu Xue treated him so well, so why didn’t he know what was good for him?

At the time, he had pinned Mu Han down and threatened him. Now…

Tang Moling swallowed. Mu Han should have forgotten, right? Mu Han was only his aunt’s younger brother. Surely he didn’t have to acknowledge him as well?

As he was thinking about this, he saw Mu Han look at Ji Buw.a.n.g. “Brother-in-law, what should he be calling me?”

The word ‘brother-in-law’ shocked Ji Buw.a.n.g. Without thinking, he said, “He should call you whatever he should be calling you, of course.”

Ji Buw.a.n.g looked at Li Zhaodi. Li Zhaodi thought for a moment. “Here, one would call him ‘Uncle’ or something like that. Those who are younger will be greeted as ‘Young Uncle’.”

“Then call him Young Uncle.” Ji Buw.a.n.g decided, patting Tang Moling. “Hurry up and greet him.”

Tang Moling: “…”

He was very certain that this was revenge. It was definitely revenge!
