Chapter 169: The Moral Integrity of the Fake Husband
The scream came from Tang Yan's mouth.
At this moment, she was staring with her beautiful eyes wide open, her hands covering her mouth in astonishment as she watched her mother walk into the living room.
She never dreamed that Xiao Yun would really help her mother recover from her paralysis.
What an incredible turn of events! How could she not be excited!
Thud!
Chunmei rushed out from the kitchen upon hearing the noise, and she was also stunned by the scene before her. In a moment of distraction, the plate of food she was holding fell to the ground, shattering everywhere.
"Thank you, Xiao Yun!" Tang Yan exclaimed, forgetting herself as she rushed over and hugged Xiao Yun, kissing and playfully biting his face.
Smack,
Smack...
A strange sound instantly filled the living room.
"Sister Yan, please don't do this," Xiao Yun said, his face turning as red as a monkey's bottom. He even shyly added, "Doing this in front of Father-in-law and Mother-in-law will make me embarrassed!"
Tang Yan suddenly remembered that her parents were standing nearby, along with Chunmei, and couldn't help but blush. She hurriedly pulled back her lips from Xiao Yun's face, her eyes shimmering with shyness.
Wang Yu immediately said, "Yan'er, Mom didn't see anything!"
"Sister Yan, I didn't see you kiss Brother Xiao Yun either!" Chunmei shouted loudly.
"You all really know how to lie with your eyes wide open; I saw it!" Tang Guoqiang said bluntly. "I saw our Yan'er and Yun'er kissing, and it was quite loud!"
Kissing?
Could you say it more elegantly? It's called a kiss!
Wang Yu didn't say it out loud but shot a fierce glare at Old Tang.
Turning to see Xiao Yun's shy expression, she thought to herself that a man who can be shy must be a good man. Her Yan'er finally chose the right partner.
Tang Yan was completely embarrassed by her father's words!
"Chunmei, serve the dishes, it's time to eat!" Tang Guoqiang commanded Chunmei with enthusiasm.
Today, this son-in-law truly opened his eyes and broadened his horizons!
Tang Yan said, "Wait a moment, before we eat, let's serve Mom the birthday cake first."
"Yes, yes, yes! Today is your mom's big day; let's bring out the cake first!"
This family birthday celebration was simple yet filled with an extraordinary warmth...
Although Chunmei was just a maid in the Tang family, Tang Guoqiang and Wang Yu treated her almost like their own daughter, and naturally, she was arranged to sit at the same table during meals.
"Come on, Xiao Yun, let's have a good drink at noon!" Tang Guoqiang poured a large cup of wine for himself and Xiao Yun.
On the way here, Xiao Yun had heard from Tang Yan that her father didn't smoke but had a strong affection for alcohol.
"Thank you, Dad!" Xiao Yun didn't refuse; it felt particularly natural to call him that.
Hmm,
Could this guy really think of himself as the son-in-law of the Tang family?
Tang Yan's heart raced at the thought. Just then, she saw Xiao Yun pick up a piece of steamed fish and place it in her bowl, saying with concern, "Wife, you should eat more. There's no need to be polite at home!"
Her face flushed suddenly. Tang Yan secretly pinched him on the waist, thinking, "You little rascal, you really know how to take advantage. Give you an inch and you want to take a mile!"
Facing this peculiar situation, Tang Yan felt a mix of fondness, shyness, and a hint of bitterness in her heart.
After all, the man in front of her was not her real husband; he was just someone she temporarily brought in to fill the role. Of course, it wasn't entirely just filling a role; it was mainly for her mother's illness.
"Ah, Yan'er,"
Wang Yu said happily from the side, looking at Tang Yan with what seemed like deep emotion. "I like this son-in-law Xiao Yun. You should treat him well in the future and not act spoiled at home. Otherwise, if your mother finds out, she won't be easy on you!"
Uh...
Tang Yan immediately felt three black lines appear on her forehead.
"Mom, please don't worry. Sister Yan has always been very good to me. She even tucks me in several times during the night, afraid that I might catch a cold!" Xiao Yun hurriedly spoke up for Tang Yan, as he didn't want her to feel wronged.
At that moment, Tang Yan nearly bit her own tongue off, feeling as if she could spit blood. What a jerk! Who said anything about sleeping together?
Seeing his calm demeanor, she wished she could pounce on him and bite him a few times—no, a hundred times—turning him into a big beehive!
However, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief at Xiao Yun's words, revealing an ambiguous tension that only those involved could truly understand.
Meanwhile, Chunmei watched them with eyes full of gossip, secretly observing the two.
"Of course, that's how it should be," Tang Guoqiang said on behalf of his daughter. "Husbands and wives should support each other and take care of one another. Yan'er is right! By the way, Xiao Yun, what do you do for a living?"
Xiao Yun smiled lightly and replied, "Bone Painter."
"What is a Bone Painter?" Tang Guoqiang was taken aback; it was the first time he had ever heard of such a profession.
Tang Yan's bright eyes curved into crescents as she proudly explained to her father, "Dad, a Bone Painter is someone who paints bones to treat illnesses!"
She then recounted how Xiao Yun had helped her with her lumbar disc herniation and mentioned how he had cured Mayor Shen's daughter and even saved a singer who had been given a death sentence by doctors.
"Is that really true?" Tang Guoqiang and the others listened in awe, their eyes wide open as if they were hearing a myth.
Xiao Yun shook his head and humbly said, "It's just a minor skill, not worth mentioning!"
Is this really just a minor skill?
Tang Guoqiang and Wang Yu looked at Xiao Yun as if he were an alien, examining him from head to toe.
Recalling the scene earlier when Xiao Yun treated his wife, Tang Guoqiang's mind felt as if it had been filled with glue, muddled and seemingly trapped in a Maze of Bewilderment. The Writing Tools appeared like magic and then mysteriously vanished; it was just an ordinary painting that, in the blink of an eye, allowed his wife to stand up from her wheelchair. This… was truly incredible!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would believe this was real?
"Xiao Yun, come, let me toast you!" Tang Guoqiang raised his glass towards Xiao Yun, downing a large gulp of wine. He asked, "Can you reveal to me, your Father-in-law, how you helped your Mother-in-law recover her back?"
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "It's quite simple. As I mentioned, my mother was schemed against by someone, allowing evil energy to invade her bones, ultimately causing her Bones to deform and compress the nerves in her legs, resulting in numbness and paralysis. I placed the Skeletal Diagram I drew on my mother’s body and combined it with my spiritual energy, effectively giving her a new set of Bones, which naturally allowed her to stand up again."
What kind of theory is this? The more Tang Guoqiang listened, the more confused he became. He kept scratching his head. In his mind, Xiao Yun had become not only mysterious but also seemed to possess many untapped treasures.
Such a precious son-in-law must not be taken lightly; he should communicate with him more in the future. If possible, why not take him as a teacher and learn more from him?
Thinking about the traditional medical knowledge passed down in his family, it seemed utterly trivial in front of Xiao Yun; it was truly a complete destruction of his worldview!
"Besides treating illnesses, can your bone drawings have any other uses?" Tang Guoqiang asked Xiao Yun with the curiosity of a child eager for knowledge.
Xiao Yun replied, "Of course! For example, Bone Transformation!"
Bone Transformation?
Tang Guoqiang didn't quite understand what that meant at first and scratched his head again.
"Ha ha, it means I can change a person's character," Xiao Yun explained. "For example, if a woman is too strong-willed or too frivolous, I can change her personality through the method of painting bones..."
"Wait, do you really have that ability?" Tang Guoqiang suddenly asked loudly as if he remembered something.
Xiao Yun shrugged. "Father-in-law, do I look like someone who is joking around or bragging when I speak so seriously?"
"Not at all!" Tang Guoqiang shook his head as he assessed Xiao Yun.
"Then why are you speaking to our son-in-law in a questioning tone?" Wang Yu interjected, clearly displeased with him.
Tang Guoqiang awkwardly touched his nose. "My bad, my bad..."
He then turned to Xiao Yun and said earnestly, "Xiao Yun, this afternoon I'm going to take you to meet a very important person!"
"Who is it?" Xiao Yun asked curiously.
Tang Guoqiang feigned mystery. "She's a top-tier beauty. As for who she is, let's keep that a suspense for now!"
A top-tier beauty?
Wang Yu and Tang Yan both widened their eyes in anger at him.
Xiao Yun felt his heart skip a beat from the excitement.
Wow, this father-in-law, who seems so upright on the outside, actually has a playful side!
Tang Guoqiang glanced at his daughter and smiled, "Yan'er, don't be jealous. Don't worry, he's my son-in-law. As a father, how could I easily give him up?"
"You're so inappropriate!" Wang Yu shot him a disapproving look.
"You all take your time eating. I'll go to the kitchen and get you some more soup!" At the dining table, Chunmei seemed uncomfortable and stood up, hurriedly walking toward the kitchen.
Xiao Yun's Spiritual Sense followed Chunmei's figure. For a moment, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, and then a surge of anger rose within him.
Could it be that this Chunmei is...
Uh, could the scheme against Tang Yan's mother be related to her?
At this moment, although Xiao Yun knew he was just a fake husband to Tang Yan, he couldn't turn a blind eye to the situation occurring in the household of his fake wife.
As a fake husband, he should still uphold the integrity of a husband!
Xiao Yun then stood up and said to those at the table, "I'll be right back from the kitchen!"
