Chapter 245: 214 Misaligned Worldviews (1 update)_1

After that, the conversation finally shifted away from Tang Su, and Su Ruoan exchanged pleasantries with Su Wanyi about her recent situation. After the sisters greeted each other, Su Wanyi fixed her gaze on Tang Shengyi.

"Hey, Shengyi, have you been promoted yet?" Su Wanyi asked directly.

Scratching his head, Tang Shengyi shook it, "No, big sister."

"Tell me, Ruoan became a director at forty, yet you still haven’t been promoted. Isn’t your hospital’s dean that friend of Ruoan’s husband? With such a good opportunity, you don’t even know how to pay your respects?"

Su Wanyi, most like their mother, really looked down on Tang Shengyi’s ineptitude.

A man living his life in such a feeble manner, she really couldn’t understand how her youngest sister could treasure a man like Tang Shengyi.

Out of the three sisters, it was actually Su Ruoan who was the most beautiful.

She was more good-looking than both the youngest and the fourth sister.

If Su Ruoan were willing to use her looks to serve men, finding a wealthy boss wouldn’t be difficult at all.

Then Tang Su wouldn’t still be unable to afford even a 30,000 yuan handbag.

"Sister, that’s not the right way to think about it. If we need to resort to paying respects just to get promoted, what value does such a promotion hold, right?" Su Ruoan countered before Tang Shengyi even had the chance to speak.

"After all these years, you’re still so high-minded?" Su Wanyi never expected that Su Ruoan, now a mother with grown-up children, could still live so naively.

She hasn’t learned any worldly wisdom at all, has she?

No wonder their mother didn’t like her, everything was fine except for that stubborn streak, just like their late father.

Back then, had it not been for their mother’s tactful handling of affairs, and lighting incense everywhere, how could the five sisters have grown up on the meager clinic fees their father earned?

"Sister, it’s not about being high-minded." Su Ruoan truly disliked discussing these topics with her sister; when two siblings with differing principles get together, it can be quite exhausting.

She had said they would be fine staying at a hotel for a few days, but Su Wanyi insisted they couldn’t stay in a hotel, wanting her family of four to stay at her place instead.

She said there were so many empty rooms in her house, not many servants living in, there’s no way they could all be occupied, and plus, staying at home meant being waited on by servants. Why stay at a hotel?

What would people think if they found out, wouldn’t they laugh at them?

So, to avoid being the laughingstock among their social circle, Su Wanyi forcefully persuaded Su Ruoan to stay at their house.

After discussing with Tang Shengyi, Su Ruoan decided the main purpose of this visit was to fulfill their grandmother’s wish, so she didn’t argue and agreed to stay. After the family portrait was done, they would find an excuse to stay elsewhere.

If it wasn’t for staying at Su Wanyi’s house, Su Ruoan wouldn’t have bothered to buy so many local specialties and bring them all the way by plane.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. No matter what I say, you won’t listen anyway. If you had listened to what mom and I said back then, your life wouldn’t be like this now."

"I..."

Just as Su Ruoan was about to retort, Tang Shengyi timely reached out and grasped her hand.

Looking at Tang Shengyi, Su Ruoan noticed he was different from the young man he used to be. In the past, he would have been angry at Su Wanyi’s words.

But now, not only was he not angry, but he was also incredibly calm.

He had long come to understand that life is meant to be lived for oneself, not for others to see.

If others think it’s good, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will agree.

If others think it’s bad, but you feel it’s good, then it is good.

Just like how some people think the wealthy should eat and drink the finest every day, that only abalone and shark fin soup are fitting for the wealth they possess.

However, Tang Shengyi knew a wealthy man.

He was the richest man in a city, and every day he liked to drink soy milk with fried dough sticks. Moreover, he also enjoyed riding a bicycle. How should this be interpreted?

Therefore, how to live a good life, one’s own feelings are the best answer.

What others say doesn’t count.

At times like these, don’t argue with others. If she thinks you’re not living well, then so be it—there’s no need for too much explanation.

Su Ruoan understood Tang Shengyi’s meaning and thus remained silent.

"The food on the plane isn’t tasty, is it? Once we get home, I’ll have the servants cook something delicious for you." Seeing that the two were silent, Su Wanyi softened her attitude a bit.

"Auntie, thank you, but there’s no need to trouble yourself. The meals in business class weren’t bad."

"Oh? Your whole family came over, and you flew business class, not economy?" Su Wanyi raised her eyebrows, finally willing to spend, eh?

"No, it was Tangtang’s good girlfriend who upgraded our seats as thanks for the meals she ate at our house during her years of studying in Hua City. That girl really knows how to repay kindness, such a good young lady."

"...Heh, Tang Shengyi, as an elder, you’re just accepting a young girl’s kindness like this without feeling embarrassed?" Su Wanyi was startled for a good while before she scoffed.

She really didn’t want to say these words that might hurt her sister’s pride, given that he was her brother-in-law.

But still, are these words a man should say?

Tang Shengyi did not feel embarrassed.

Sun Qing was as close to Tang Su as their other daughter.

How could a daughter honoring her elders be called taking advantage?

Only Su Wanyi would have such an abnormal thought.

"Auntie, what is Uncle busy with?" Tang Feng suddenly asked.

At this moment, Tang Su, holding her phone, waited with a smile for her aunt’s reply.

"Oh, your uncle is on a business trip and won’t be back for a couple of days, but no worries. Tonight, other than your uncle, everyone else will be present. It definitely won’t delay the Su Family from taking a family photo."

"A business trip? Uncle really knows how to enjoy life, eh? Auntie, I just happened to come across a video by accident—did Uncle go to South Island for his business trip?"

South Island, the most famous tourist destination in the country, since it is located in the tropics, many tourists from colder regions flock there for vacations during winter.

There, many internet celebrities also shoot various videos.

The video Tang Su had accidentally come across seemed to feature her Uncle Shen Ao.

At first, she thought it was someone who looked like him, so she quickly scrolled back to the video. Although the footage was brief, thanks to the great filming quality, the scene of Shen Ao flirting with a woman was captured with exceptional clarity.

The woman by her uncle’s side looked to be in her thirties, with a very voluptuous figure, wearing a bikini on the beach, drawing quite a bit of attention.

"Hm? South Island? He went abroad," Su Wanyi said with a slightly troubled expression, "What video? Let me see."

"Here, auntie, look—did I recognize the wrong person?" Tang Su hastily presented her phone.

"That can’t be—you just sent it to me, and I recognized him too. That is definitely Uncle." Tang Feng timely added.

After watching the video, Su Wanyi’s entire face went completely dark, devoid of the earlier arrogance she had when scolding their parents.
