Chapter 75: 066 The Surprise Prepared with Great Care Came to Nothing (2 updates)_1

When they sat down, Tang Shengyi personally poured wine for Lu Han. One bottle of wine costing thousands was exchanged for two bottles worth tens of thousands from Lu Han; he certainly struck it rich with that deal.

Tang Shengyi was pleased not because he got a good deal out of Lu Han, but because even though things between him and his Tang Bao hadn’t progressed much, Lu Han was already giving them so much importance as a couple.

That meant he truly valued his Tang Bao.

Lu Han didn’t refuse when Su Ruoan reminded Tang Shengyi, “Old Tang, drink less.”

“I know, don’t worry, I’m just happy today.”

“Okay, then pour me a small cup too.” Su Ruoan said, feeling rather happy herself. When she first met Lu Han at Elder Sun’s house, she had thought that any girl he fancied would be extremely lucky.

At that time, she really hadn’t considered her own daughter might catch Lu Han’s eye.

She also didn’t expect that her daughter had already fallen head over heels for Lu Han before she even knew him.

How should one put it? It must be fate.

A very nice fate.

She asked Tang Shengyi for some wine because she was thinking of finding the right moment to apologize to Lu Han later on.

Tang Shengyi and his wife had a good relationship, not only because they liked each other but mainly because she, though fiery, was willing to drink with him, talk about football, and discuss various news topics. They always had a lot to talk about.

Decades had passed, and they still had endless conversations every evening.

“Alright.” After pouring the wine, Tang Shengyi took the lead and raised his glass, “Come, let me say a few words first. Today Tang Bao isn’t here, but Lu Han’s connection with our family is deep. So, I won’t say much, but let me just say, enjoy dinner.”

“Pfft—”

Su Ruoan was speechless. How eager was he for a drink that even ‘enjoy dinner’ could become a toast? If that’s the case, how much could he drink tonight?

No amount would be enough for him.

“Don’t listen to him, Lu Han, he’s just looking for excuses to drink. Here’s the thing, about last time, I didn’t consider everything and got carried away. I tried to matchmake on your behalf, and in the end, the main party didn’t show up.”

“Anyhow, I owe you an apology. Up until today, Tang Shengyi and I have always hoped to find a local husband from Hua City for our Su Su, and we didn’t want her to marry far away.”

“The reason we tried to match her with Ye Sichen was that he was Su Su’s brother Fengfeng’s college roommate, and they had a good relationship. We thought we knew him well, so we persuaded Su Su to give it a try with Ye Sichen.”

“His family doesn’t have an only child, and Ye Sichen made it clear he didn’t want to be constrained by his family. Later, when both families met, his parents were also willing to buy a marital house in Hua City, so both sets of parents were quite satisfied with them.”

“We just didn’t expect things to turn out this way. We’ve only just found out that Su Su wasn’t with him for herself; she did it for her brother and us, her parents.”

“Looking back, we feel like failures as parents, not quite up to scratch. Su Su is a wonderful daughter, sensible from a young age and bright in character—our neighbors in the apartment complex all love her.”

Tang Shengyi: “…”

Which woman in the world is most contrary to what she says?

The answer has to be his wife, Tang Shengyi.

In his presence, she would criticize their daughter as worthless, but in front of Lu Han, she couldn’t praise Tang Bao enough.

Ah—

Such is the heart of a mother in this world.

She could degrade her child freely, but no one else could.

No matter who the other person was.

“Sister-in-law, actually, I’m not an only child either.” Lu Han nodded, accepting Su Ruoan’s apology and then began to speak of his own family.

He had never talked about his family with outsiders. Those close to him were aware, and naturally, they didn’t see anything complicated or embarrassing about his family.

But outsiders saw it differently.

After all, there was a significant age gap between his parents, especially in Beijing—everyone thought his mother had married into wealth, until the Bai Family recognized her.

Once she was accepted, her background matched theirs. His father’s first two wives, one passed away due to illness, the other divorced and became a nun. Those who didn’t know the full story always believed it was his mother’s appearance that led to these events.

Being young at the time, he was indignant at the injustice his mother endured.

Yet, his mother never let him speak out. Bai Wei always said, living a life true to one’s conscience is enough; there’s no need to live for others’ scrutiny.

If one has such broad-mindedness, no rumor or slander can hurt you; otherwise, a person will sooner or later be wounded by gossip and pay a painful price.
