Chapter 205: 174 Tang’s father comes knocking, exposing the secret (Chapter 2, Part 1)

Tang Su was just about to answer when Tang Feng’s comrades urged him from the side, "Squad leader, time’s up."

Wow, wow, wow, they wanted to make phone calls too? Didn’t the squad leader still not have a girlfriend? Who was he boiling porridge on the phone with for so long?

If it was a call home, they usually finished in three to five minutes.

Only those who were married would talk on the phone for such a long time with their wives.

Hearing this, Tang Su took the opportunity to hurry her big brother, "Big brother, your comrades are urging you, so let’s not talk anymore, anyways, you will be home by next Friday, then I can tell you the details. It’s not something I can explain in a sentence or two."

"Alright, if he’s wronged you, I will definitely beat that bastard until he’s looking all over the ground for his teeth. Hanging up now."

"Mmm, good-bye, big brother."

"Good-bye, get some rest early, make sure to lock your doors and windows. As a girl living alone outside, you must be careful about safety."

"Mmm, got it."

Only then did Tang Feng hang up the phone with satisfaction, before kicking at those nosy fellows who had been eavesdropping and peering at him making the call, "What’s the rush? I’m just calling my own little sister. How does it bother you guys?"

"Boss, you’ve been on the phone for quite a while, look at us, we finished our calls a long time ago." They spread their hands, afraid that this ’little sister’ might actually be a ’sweetheart.’

Nobody really believed Tang Feng’s words.

Tang Feng wasn’t dumb either; he saw the teasing and distrust in their eyes and glared back with wide eyes, "We have the same parents. My name is Tang Feng, my sister’s name is Tang Su, we took our parents’ surnames. Her nicknames are Tang Bao, Su Su, and there are several more."

"Get rid of the filthy thoughts in your minds."

"Boss, is Su Su single right now? Please answer."

"She has a boyfriend she is dating with the goal of marriage, my college roommate."

"Ah—"

Several of them clutched their broken hearts, wailing. Why were all the good women taken?

It was too heartbreaking; despite the lack of freedom, soldier brothers were outstanding in other aspects.

The next day, Tang Shengyi, following his wife’s orders, delivered love-filled wontons to his daughter.

He had worked overnight to make two big boxes of them.

As Tang Shengyi stepped out of the elevator, he saw Lu Han, drenched in sweat, wearing sportswear, holding breakfast, and punching in the password at Tang Su’s door.

Tang Shengyi was completely calm, with no sense of crisis or nervousness about his daughter letting a wolf into the house.

"Lu Han, good morning," Tang Shengyi greeted Lu Han with a chuckle.

"Uncle Tang, good morning." Hearing Tang Shengyi’s voice, Lu Han straightened up and greeted him with a bit of embarrassment.

"Is that breakfast for Su Su? Old-fashioned steamed buns? Su Su really loves those. She used to eat a basket of them every day when she was little. But now, it’s hard to find places that make them with the old dough. Gradually, Su Su stopped eating them as much. Do they sell them in the shop downstairs from you?"

"Yes, Uncle Tang, would you like some too? I can go buy another two baskets."

Tang Shengyi shook his head, "No need, I’ve already had breakfast. Come on, the wind’s strong outside, let’s go in and talk. You’ve sweated, do you need to take a shower and change clothes?"

Exercise is for staying strong and healthy. Nowadays, young people, preferring extra sleep, don’t like to get up early to exercise.

They still know exercise is good. If they don’t have time to exercise in the morning, then they go to the gym after work in the evening. It’s not bad, really – just that exercising in the morning is free, while going to the gym in the evening costs money and is more expensive.

"It’s not that urgent, just put Su Su’s breakfast in the pot to keep it warm."

"Alright."

Tang Shengyi found that the more he looked at Lu Han, this future son-in-law, the more satisfied he became. He was only a few years older than Tang Su, and he was so considerate of her. It was Su Su’s good fortune.

In this day and age, there’s no shortage of men who talk sweet, but what are scarce are men who back their words with actions.

"I love you," anyone can say, just a peck from two lips and the words come out.

But to actually act on those three words, "I love you," is not something just anyone can do.

Not to mention to consistently do it for a lifetime; that’s even rarer.

So when those grey-haired old women lying in bed tell you that they’ve been truly happy all their life, that is real happiness.

Tang Shengyi hoped that when he and his wife reached that point in life, his wife could also tell their children and grandchildren that meeting Old Tang was the greatest happiness of her life, and then he could most definitely rest in peace with a smile.

Now, he didn’t dare to be complacent, nor relax on the path of doting on his wife.

Such was he that his old mother often grabbed his ear and scolded him for being a big ear and a soft back.

But he was happy with that.

"Money can’t buy my happiness," he really took pleasure in it.

Over the years, from getting married to raising a pair of children, he felt that time had passed too quickly, as if in the blink of an eye, time had slipped away during their daily lives.

Now that the children had grown up and were of marriageable age, they were about to be upgraded from parents to grandparents, and his biggest feeling was the hope that time would slow down, even a little more.

Every night before going to sleep, he would hold his wife and tell her that if there really was a next life, he would still choose her to be his wife.

Su Ruoan would echo him, saying if there really was a next life, she would be the one to chase him.

With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?

Tang Shengyi also handed the dumplings to Lu Han, asking him to help put them in the refrigerator for Tang Su, "Your senior sister also asked you to take a box home to cook. I think it’s better to leave them here. After all, you come and go freely; you can come over and cook whenever you want."

"Mhm, thank you, Uncle Tang," Lu Han was grateful that Tang Shengyi did not make it difficult for him to know Tang Su’s door code.

Had it been any other father-in-law, they would probably be in a rush, surely getting red-faced and thick-necked in argument, and would even wake up the sleeping daughter.

No wonder netizens like parents with stable emotions; having a pair of emotionally stable parents is a great fortune for their children.

Yet, such parents are hard to come by.

Stubborn parents, through learning, constantly change their parenting methods, striving for a healthy and harmonious parent-child relationship—these understand education.

And then there are parents who stubbornly believe that "good boys are made under the rod."

No matter what you say, if you encounter such wilfully ignorant parents, you have to adjust yourself.

It’s indeed exhausting.

"Eh, has Tang Su already gone to Culture Street?" Tang Shengyi suddenly remembered that he hadn’t seen the car he had given to Tang Su in the basement parking lot just now.

Could it be that Tang Su let Sun Qing drive again?

But that’s not right, didn’t Sun Qing buy one himself?

"No, she’s sleeping in the room, she..."

Before Lu Han could finish his sentence, the doorbell at Tang Su’s house rang.

Guessing who it might be, Lu Han felt his heart sink and sighed at how coincidental everything was.

Fortunately, Tang Shengyi was emotionally stable. Under Tang Shengyi’s gaze, Lu Han turned and opened the door.

As expected, it was Sister Cai from the neighborhood, accompanied by a police officer paying a visit.

Sister Cai wasn’t too surprised to see Lu Han—after all, he and Tang Su were a couple and neighbors. It was normal for Tang Su to spend the night at Lu Han’s place and for Lu Han to do the same at Tang Su’s.

Isn’t that how young people are nowadays?

Indeed, it wasn’t strange as long as they ended up getting married and were responsible.

Besides, it was clear that Lu Han and Tang Su were headed for marriage.

"Doctor Lu, Tang Su hasn’t gotten up yet, right? The thing is, this is Officer He from our precinct. He says they’ve caught the person and have a few more questions to ask Tang Su."

"What... what’s going on here?" Tang Shengyi, seeing the property management bringing the police to their doorstep, quickly came forward to ask.

"Tang Su’s dad, Mr. Tang, hello, I’m from the property management, my name is Cai." Seeing Tang Shengyi’s resemblance to Tang Su, Sister Cai guessed his identity.

"Hello, what happened to my daughter Tang Su?"

Lu Han succinctly told Tang Shengyi the whole story. Tang Shengyi didn’t expect that Tang Su had kept them in the dark about so much, what was this girl thinking?

After such major incidents occurred, she hadn’t brought a single one back home to discuss with them, her parents—were they even her parents?

Tang Su was awakened by the noise, got up, washed up, changed clothes, and came out. She was surprised to see Tang Shengyi, as well as Sister Cai and Officer He in uniform.

However, with Lu Han there, Tang Su, no matter how surprised, cooperated and dealt with the situation one by one.

After answering Officer He’s questions, he thanked them for their cooperation and left, saying he would notify them by phone of any follow-up.

After sending everyone off, Tang Su hurried Lu Han to take a shower and change clothes, not to catch a cold.

Only after Lu Han was repeatedly sure she could handle her father did he greet Tang Shengyi and go back across the street.

Indeed, Tang Shengyi was emotionally stable and didn’t begrudge Lu Han for the incident.
