Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Since there wasn't much going on, Eric and the others arrived in Cangzhou on the 20th.

Upon arriving in her hometown, Tan Ailing didn't take Eric directly to the Tan family's headquarters, Tanjiazhuang, but instead took him and Tang Feiyan to her parents' villa.

The Tan family had three to four hundred members, so all of them couldn't live in Tanjiazhuang. Many core members had residences elsewhere, including Tan Dad and Tan Mom.

"Mom, I'm back..." Upon seeing Tan Mom, Tan Ailing just greeted her briefly, not making the kind of hugging and laughing gestures that Tang Feiyan did when she met Tang Mom.

Tan Mom seemed accustomed to Tan Ailing's indifferent expression. She hugged her daughter and said, "Why didn't you give us a heads up? Your dad is still at school, but he should be back soon..."

"Auntie, I'm here too!" Tang Feiyan casually squeezed in between the mother and daughter, smiling brightly.

Tan Mom was also casual with Tang Feiyan, lightly patting her fair and delicate face, and said, "Is Feiyan craving for the Lionfish dish that I make?"

"Yes, yes," Tang Feiyan made a drooling expression and said, "I've been craving it so much!"

Tan Mom smiled and patted her cheek again before turning her gaze to Eric.

Such a handsome young man! He looks so good standing next to Ailing... But, he seems a bit delicate!

Your adventure continues at empire

Seeing Tan Mom sizing up Eric, Tang Feiyan immediately said, "Auntie, this is your future son-in-law! What do you think, does he pass?"

Tan Mom chuckled and said, "Good, very good! You must be Eric, the young master of Medicine King Sect?"

Feeling touched by Tan Mom's affection, Eric nodded and said, "Yes, Tan Mom, I am Eric, Ailing's fiancé!"

Seeing Tan Mom suddenly lost in thought, Tan Ailing couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing!" Tan Mom shook her head, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. "I just suddenly remembered Eric..."

Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan exchanged a glance, feeling strange but not saying anything.

Tan Mom then explained to Eric, "Eric is Ailing's younger brother. He's only thirteen years old this year. He was an orphan, but not long ago he suddenly found his relatives and was hurriedly taken abroad. He didn't even have time to say goodbye to me! If it weren't for Ailing saying that the evidence was sufficient, I would have suspected he was kidnapped... Ah, Eric also used to call me 'Tan Mom'!"

Eric glanced at Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan, knowing this was the reason they gave for Eric's sudden disappearance, similar to their approach with Wu Mei!

Eric naturally wouldn't reveal his identity.

To this elder who genuinely cared for him, he said, "Then you should also call me 'Little Me also call you 'Tan Mom'!"

Tan Mom was slightly startled but then nodded in agreement. She liked this young master of Medicine King Sect, and the feeling he gave her was just as warm and friendly as the Eric from back then.

"However..." Eric added, "After I marry Ailing, I can't call you that anymore. By then, I'll have to call you 'Mom'!"

This somewhat pleasing remark did not make Tan Mom happy. Instead, her face changed slightly, and she said vaguely, "Don't stand at the door, come on in!"

Eric and the others were smart enough to know that they couldn't ask anything, so they decided to adapt to the situation!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The reason why the Tan family was at the forefront among the second-rate families was largely due to their unique management methods.

The third rule of the Tan family's rules stated that all Tan family members must live together in Tanjiazhuang before the age of sixteen. It was said that this could cultivate unity among them and facilitate the instillation of the family-first concept!

However, this brainwashing method did not affect strong-willed individuals like Tan Ailing. Fortunately, those sixteen years were not wasted. The third-generation disciples of the Tan family were able to create talents like "Chain Legs" at a young age!

"Ailing, you're back..." Although she came to Tanjiazhuang with her parents, the third-generation disciple who served as the gatekeeper greeted Tan Ailing first.

"Tan Ping, Tan Xuan, are you two on duty to greet guests today?" Seeing her childhood friends, Tan Ailing smiled.

"Indeed, there are so many people today. Our grandfather must have quite a lot of face..." Tan Xuan said with a friendly smile, casually greeting Tan Mom and Tan Dad.

Probably used to seeing such situations, Tan Dad and the others didn't mind. They just gave some instructions to Tan Ailing and went in first.

As soon as the two elders left, Tan Xuan dropped his facade and jokingly said to Tang Feiyan, "Feiyan, you're here too..."

"What's that supposed to mean, Tan Xuan..." Tang Feiyan glared at him, "Not welcoming me?"

"How could I dare! I just feel that with your presence, my place here shines even brighter..."

"Enough!" Tan Ping interrupted Tan Xuan's nonsense and looked at Eric, asking, "Ailing, is this your fiancé, the legendary young master of Medicine King Sect?"

"I'm Eric, nice to meet you all." Seeing their good relationship with Ailing, Eric smiled and greeted them.

Tan Ping returned the greeting, while Tan Xuan continued to smile and said, "Brother-in-law, since you're the young master of Medicine King Sect, I hope you'll give me free treatment when I come to see a doctor in the future..."

Seeing him like this, it seemed that he was unaware that the elders were somewhat wavering in Ailing's marriage.

Tan Ping heard him say something out of the blue like that, and couldn't help but pull him, but he didn't mind, still smiling and waiting for Eric's answer.

After seriously considering it, Eric said, "The consultation fee can be waived, but you'll have to pay for the medicine. I'll sell it to you at cost, I won't make any profit from you..."

Tan Xuan raised his thumb in admiration and praised, "Eric is indeed not the extravagant and wasteful type! If you had tried to exempt all my fees, I would have been worried about marrying Ling Jie to you..."

Not quite understanding what he meant, Eric wanted to ask further, but he didn't have the chance because more guests arrived!

Tan Xuan sighed with a look of distress, "Eric, you go in first! It's pitiful that Tan Ping and I still have to work hard here to entertain and smile at the guests..."

Unable to stand his nonsense, Tan Ping kicked him discreetly and said to Eric, "Young Master Eric, the congratulatory guests from Medicine King Sect have also arrived. You can go and greet them."

"Congratulatory guests from Medicine King Sect?" Tang Feiyan asked curiously, "Do you know who they are?"

"They are two beautiful ladies..." Tan Xuan said with an intoxicated look, "One of them is simply like a fairy descending to earth. I'm not afraid to say, I think she's more beautiful than both of you. I wonder who will be so fortunate to marry her in the future..."

Eric and Tan Ailing exchanged a glance, vaguely guessing who the congratulatory guests from Medicine King Sect were. They nodded to Tan Ping and Tan Xuan, then walked hand in hand into Tan's family manor.

The guests who arrived first stayed in the courtyard, chatting in small groups. As the protagonist, Tan's grandfather was still in the inner courtyard and would only come out after the formal banquet started.

The arrival of Eric and his group immediately caused a stir, as all three of them had top-notch looks. However, after the initial awe, many gazes turned scornful. This was because their attire was too ordinary, clearly indicating that they were not from a distinguished background.

"Who are they?"

"I don't know... Maybe they're someone's entourage?"

"Are you kidding me? Look at the demeanor of these three. Do they look like entourage? Although I don't know who they are, anyone qualified to enter today shouldn't be simple..."

"I recognize the beauty on the left. She's Tan's third-generation disciple, the most outstanding one - Tan Ailing! It's said that she created a quite impressive leg technique when she was just a teenager..."

"It's rare to see such a talented and beautiful girl... Who is she with? Could it be her kept man?"

With Eric and his friends' keen ears, they naturally heard all the whispered discussions around them. However, they paid no attention, walking to a corner of the courtyard and sitting on a bench. The three of them leaned in and chatted, showing no intention of seeking out the Medicine King Sect guests.

However, just because they didn't go looking for anyone didn't mean others wouldn't come looking for them.

"Eric..."

This call, full of longing and excitement, made Eric look up. Standing before him were two beauties, Juju and Lin Yujie.
