Chapter 225: Chapter 225 High-end Atmosphere_1

"Hmm, just let nature take its course with that--" Jian Manhui wasn’t concerned.

"Hehe, you kids, always giving the adults a headache--" Mother Su shook her head helplessly upon hearing their quiet conversation from the other side.

The two immediately laughed.

After busying themselves in the kitchen, the three of them finally prepared a sumptuous lunch.

When the table was laden with dishes, Shanshan’s mouth watered and her eyes lit up.

"Mommy--the food looks so delicious today..."

Su Wanxia could easily guess her little intentions, "Go on, wash your hands first--"

"Okay..."

When everyone took their seats at the dining table, they began to celebrate Mother Su’s birthday.

The first to do so was, of course, none other than Father Su.

He looked at the woman who had aged alongside him with some emotion, feeling countless moments of tenderness and happiness passing through his heart.

He had been an orphan since he was a child, working hard at the Qinglong Association under Master Qing, and becoming brothers-in-arms with Xiaxia’s father. It was because of this bond that he had the chance to meet her, a woman of gentleness and virtue.

Throughout their life together, they had endured much. No matter how many hardships they faced, she remained by his side without complaint. In his life, to have married such a woman was enough--

"Yu’er... thank you for always being by my side. I hope we can keep growing old together like this in the years to come--"

As soon as Father Su spoke, everyone at the table started to tease.

"Dad, you’re so cheesy--"

"Grandpa, I didn’t expect you to be such a Casanova--"

Mother Su, feeling moved and on the verge of tears, couldn’t help but laugh at Shanshan’s comment.

This little granddaughter of hers was really a clever and mischievous little rascal--she was both amusing and exasperating.

Teased by them all, Father Su’s face turned a bit red with embarrassment. He gave an awkward smile and then said to Shanshan, "Grandpa’s no Casanova. It’s all thanks to your grandma’s good upbringing."

That made Mother Su even more embarrassed, "The children are all here, stop talking nonsense--"

Once Mother Su spoke, Father Su immediately took the hint and sat down with dignity.

"Mom... may you be beautiful and joyful every day--"

No sooner had Su Wanxia finished speaking than Shanshan’s dissatisfied voice rang out.

"Mommy... you stole my line. What am I supposed to say now that you’ve said that?"

Su Wanxia was speechless, looking at her little Princess, "Mommy has finished speaking. What do you want to say? Tell your grandma everything now--"

Shanshan struggled for a while before she sweetly addressed Mother Su, "Grandma, Shanshan wishes you to live younger and younger, to become more and more beautiful, more and more lovely, happier and happier--and ever more fortunate."

"Haha--"

As soon as she finished, Su Ran and Jian Manhui immediately burst into laughter. Su Wanxia wanted to laugh but held it back, not daring to let it out; she didn’t want to discourage her little Princess.

"Good, Shanshan is such a good girl, grandma really likes that--" Mother Su looked at Shanshan with loving affection, her tone gentle.

Shanshan smiled sweetly and then turned her high bun, looking puzzled at Su Ran and Jian Manhui.

"Uncle Ran, why are you and Aunty Manman laughing?" The little one couldn’t keep things to herself, always asking whenever she didn’t understand something.

Su Ran hummed twice and then looked towards Jian Manhui who had just stopped laughing, speaking slowly, "Your Aunty Manman said you’re smart, you finished all our lines..."

Upon hearing this, Shanshan immediately held her little face up in pride, thinking she wanted to finish so that they would have nothing left to say.

Jian Manhui’s face, however, twitched unnaturally. Is he crazy? Is there something wrong with his brain? Did she know him that well? Manman, Manman, it’s just disgusting.

With that thought, she glared fiercely at the ever-smiling Su Ran across the table.

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, wondering if he was really that hateful.

Jian Manhui snorted and stopped looking at him, standing up to offer birthday wishes to Su Ran’s mother.

"Aunt, I wish you good health and a long life."

"Hehe, thank you, thank you."

Listening to this, Shanshan immediately frowned. Why hadn’t she thought of that? These simple eight words meant so much more than her long-winded speech.

Su Ran also stood up, "Aunt, may your fortune be as boundless as the East Sea and your life as long as the South Mountain."

Shanshan’s little face crinkled involuntarily. Not only were these eight words substantial, but they also sounded sophisticated and classy. Why hadn’t she thought of this?

Su Wanxia had been watching Shanshan’s expressions closely the whole time. It seemed that her daughter was wrestling with whether her own greeting or theirs was better. This little girl cared about such things at such a young age.

"Shanshan, offering birthday wishes is just a formality. What matters most is the sentiment. As long as you’re here to celebrate Grandma’s birthday, she’s very happy, and she won’t care whether your words sound good or not—"

Upon hearing this, Shanshan immediately blinked her large eyes, "Really?"

"Really—"

Looking into Su Wanxia’s resolute eyes, Shanshan began to regret in her heart. If only she’d studied hard every day like Yaoyao, then she, too, could have come up with such refined and impressive wishes.

No, from now on, she would also study hard, becoming everyone’s little prodigy. She didn’t want to be known as the Little Witch whenever her name came up.

After a delightful lunch, Su Wanxia broached another topic she had in mind for coming back with her father and mother.

"Dad, Mom, actually, my returning this time is also to ask if you’d be willing to move there to live. Leaving just the two of you here, I’m a bit worried—"

Deep down, Su Wanxia really wanted to stay with them, but if she were to come back and live in this city again, bringing Shanshan and Yaoyao along just wasn’t feasible.

If she left the two of them here, her heart wouldn’t be at ease.

So, if they agreed, she could take them over there to live together. Before leaving, she had also sought her grandfather’s opinion, and he hadn’t objected.

After hearing her words, Su Wanxia’s parents fell into a long silence.

Eventually, Su Wanxia’s father spoke, "Xiaxia, your mom and I have lived in this city for so many years, we’re used to it, and we’re not as feeble as you think. Dad’s still strong, working ten more years wouldn’t be an issue, so you don’t need to worry about us— take good care of Yaoyao and Shanshan over there, and also Old Master Su. He’s getting on in years; you should spend more time with him, fulfill your filial duty on behalf of your father and mother, his life hasn’t been easy..."

Su Ran nodded in agreement upon hearing his father’s words, affirming that his life had indeed not been easy.

Meanwhile, Jian Manhui was completely bewildered by the conversation. The more she listened, the more confused she became. Did Su Wanxia’s uncle imply she had other parents? Could it be that Wanxia wasn’t their biological child?

Her mind was in shock, but with so many people around, it wasn’t appropriate to voice her doubts. She resolved to wait until she was alone with Wanxia to ask her—
