Chapter 25
Play B

“Wait, don't talk nonsense during dinner. Especially you, Ah Zheng, don't keep siding with Ah Yao.” Kang Bo walked out and quietly instructed them, especially addressing Kang Er Zheng.

“Got it, Big Bro. I’ll be on mute the entire time, okay?” Kang Er Zheng shrugged.

Kang Bo knew Kang Er Zheng was biased towards Ah Yao and Xing Zi.

“I know too.” Tian Xiu also spoke.

Everyone was stunned.

But they didn't pay too much attention to it.

Lunchtime.

This meal was thanks to Wan Ling.

Wan Ling was sitting next to Ah Yao.

“Go on,” Kang Bo whispered to the old lady beside him, urging her.

“You're making me so nervous, I don't know what to say.” The old lady also said nervously.

“Really.” Kang Bo leaned close to the old lady's ear and said a few words. “#¥%…”

The old lady nodded.

“That, Wan Ling, you are such a nice person, why haven't you been dating?” The old lady hesitated before asking.

Wan Ling blushed when she heard the old lady's question.

“Kang Auntie, have some roast goose.” Wan Ling was shy and didn't want to answer. With so many people around, it was too embarrassing to talk about this. She picked up a piece of roast goose, lowered her head, and continued eating.

“Alright, is it someone we know?” The old lady continued to ask.

Wan Ling lowered her head and said nothing.

“Yes, just say what you have to say.” Old Dad deliberately said.

Kang Qi Zheng was speechless.

How could she say it in front of everyone?

Could she shout out loud, "I like Ah Yao!"?

She would be laughed at for being shameless.

Kang Er Zheng wanted to speak, but Kang Bo had warned him not to interrupt earlier, so he just kept watching.

“Who is it?” The old lady asked with a smile.

Wan Ling still lowered her head, her face flushed.

“Ah Yao, what are you listening to?” Old Dad suddenly noticed that Ah Yao was wearing headphones.

“I'm listening to the news.” Ah Yao was startled and replied.

“Listen to what, it's time to eat now.” Old Dad said in a bad mood.

“Then I won’t listen.” Ah Yao had to take off his headphones.

“People are here for dinner, there are guests, why are you so unmannered.” Old Dad scolded.

“Wan Ling isn't an outsider.” Ah Yao said with a smile.

Ah Yao and Wan Ling grew up together, and Wan Ling often came to the Kang family to play.

He treated her as his own sister.

“Wan Ling, you have such a good reputation. So many dishes. By the way, what are you talking about?” Ah Yao said to Wan Ling with a smile.

Wan Ling was secretly delighted to hear that she wasn't an outsider.

“Tian Xiu, I'll serve you some rice.” Wan Ling didn't dare to answer the question, so she tried to change the subject.

“No need, he’s so big, he can do it himself.” Everyone stopped Wan Ling’s actions.

Wan Ling was now in a difficult position.

“Wan Ling, why haven't you been dating? Do you like someone? Do we know them?” The old lady almost pointed out the words.

Ah Yao was also interested when he heard it.

“Yes, Wan Ling, don’t be afraid to say it. Don't end up picking a broken lamp after going through so many choices.” Ah Yao also nodded in agreement and gossiped.

“You’re a broken lamp, silly!” Second Brother said to Second Sister-in-Law in a low voice, teasing her. Everyone knew Wan Ling liked Ah Yao, only Ah Yao didn’t know.

Second Sister-in-Law also smiled with a smirk.

“She’s picking you, broken lamp,” Kang Qi Zheng thought to himself.

“Old woman, why are you asking so eagerly? How can she answer you?” Old Dad saw that Wan Ling didn't answer and wanted to slow things down.

“Mom and Dad, you two are interrogating Wan Ling like you’re questioning a criminal. She’s so shy, how could she say it in front of everyone?” Ah Yao spoke for Wan Ling.

Kang Er Zheng thought to himself.

That’s right, Ah Yao, you’re right. Even if she had something to say, she wouldn't say it in front of everyone.

Even men would be embarrassed, let alone a girl.

“I know who Wan Ling Auntie likes.” Tian Xiu suddenly put down his chopsticks and ran to Ah Yao's side.

“You know? Who is it?” Ah Yao was startled.

Tian Xiu then used his hands to form a megaphone shape and whispered to Ah Yao.

Ah Yao was stunned after hearing, then he laughed.

“Really, don't believe me, ask Wan Ling Auntie.” Tian Xiu thought that Ah Yao didn't believe him, so he whispered the same thing in Wan Ling's ear.

Wan Ling was instantly panicked after hearing.

“Tian Xiu, don't talk nonsense.” Wan Ling said in a panic, looked at Kang Er Zheng, then quickly lowered her head again.

She stood up and said, “Kang Bo, Kang Auntie, I remember I have to work overtime. I’m leaving first, you guys eat slowly.” Wan Ling found an excuse and left in a hurry.

“She’s shy, see, I told you right?” Tian Xiu proudly said after seeing Wan Ling leave.

“Tian Xiu is so smart, he played a crucial role at a critical moment.” Ah Zong praised Tian Xiu.

“I said my son is intelligent.” Second Sister-in-Law also took pride in it. “Just like me.”

“Ah Yao, you know what to do now.” Kang Bo thought that Tian Xiu was talking about Ah Yao.

“Me?” Ah Yao was startled. Then he glanced at Kang Er Zheng. “Of course, I know what to do. Little Uncle, you're really lucky, Wan Ling is great, but she’s just a bit older. A woman three years older brings you good luck, it’s not bad.”

“I’m lucky?” Kang Er Zheng was startled.

He remembered Tian Xiu was talking about Ah Zong, how did it come to me?

“Tian Xiu, what did you just say?” Kang Er Zheng knew that Tian Xiu definitely wasn't saying that Ah Yao liked Wan Ling.

“I said Wan Ling Auntie likes Little Grandpa.” Tian Xiu looked at Kang Er Zheng and said.

“What? Me?” Kang Er Zheng was startled.

They all looked at Kang Er Zheng.

“No, you.” Everyone was surprised by this unexpected turn of events.

“Tian Xiu, why did you say Wan Ling likes me?” Kang Er Zheng asked in confusion.

“It’s like this on TV. When you just came in, Grandpa warned you not to talk nonsense, didn't that just mean Wan Ling Auntie likes Little Grandpa?” Tian Xiu said.

“Headache.” Kang Er Zheng rubbed his forehead helplessly. “Big Bro, it has nothing to do with me, it’s Tian Xiu’s fault.”

“You little rascal, good for nothing but causing trouble.” Kang Bo scolded in a bad mood.

“Never mind, let’s find another opportunity next time.” Old Mom comforted.

“Execute Plan B.” Kang Bo thought for a moment and said.

“Plan B?” Everyone was stunned. Kang Bo was so amazing, he even had a Plan B.

Evening.

Everyone was singing in the living room.

Old Mom went to find Wan Ling.

“Wan Ling, come sit.” Everyone enthusiastically greeted her.

“We bought a lot of DVDs, I guarantee you'll have a good time singing.” Kang Bo said with a smile.

“Wan Ling, I heard your voice is better than Hong Xian Nü, sing us a couple of songs.” Second Sister-in-Law encouraged.

Second Sister-in-Law seemed to be very supportive of Wan Ling becoming Third Sister-in-Law.

“I can’t sing, I just sing Cantonese opera usually.” Wan Ling modestly said.

“Cantonese opera is good, come, switch to Cantonese opera.” Old Dad said with a smile and instructed.
