Chapter 273: 242 Prominent Family, Wealthy Household (2nd update)_1

"Big brother, is Lu Maoyan... I mean, is Lu Han’s dad really powerful in Beijing?" Tang Su thought of Shen Yi’s words.

The way Shen Yi spoke, suggested that she and Lu Han belonged to different social statuses.

In the past, she only knew that Lu Han grew up with his mother, and Tang Su had never looked down on him for that. But if he truly came from a wealthy and noble household, that indeed worried her.

It wasn’t that she feared Lu Han would look down on her, but that she worried his parents might think she wasn’t good enough for him.

Without the blessing of parents, even if they forced a relationship, there would always be some regret in this life, wouldn’t there?

She didn’t want Lu Han to face a rift with his parents because of her.

She loved Lu Han, but love wasn’t selfish.

"Of course, whatever he does, he succeeds. When he used to be a leader, everyone under him obeyed without question. Later on, he stopped being a leader and turned to business. The wealth he’s accumulated over the years has made many envious."

"..."

So his family really is rich.

Tang Su felt embarrassed, thinking back to when she was in Hua City, still pondering over her monthly income of tens of thousands plus Lu Han’s salary, which should have been enough for them.

She didn’t spend on luxury goods.

Only now did she realize how laughable her one-sided thoughts were.

Do they need her few tens of thousands?

"Hm? Who told you about our leader?" Tang Feng reacted, realizing his sister must have heard someone mention it before.

Who was it?

"Cousin Shen Yi, she... If I’m not mistaken, she might also have a crush on Lu Han. She just tried to persuade me to back off," Tang Su felt not so light-hearted.

She had thought that with her parents’ approval, her big brother’s consent, and everything else going smoothly, all she would have to do when meeting Lu Han’s mother was to make a good impression and win her approval.

She was still somewhat confident in herself.

After all, she would be a mother in the future too. She thought, if someday her son brought home a girl he liked, as long as the girl had good character, everything else would be negotiable.

She assumed that most mothers in the world would feel the same.

But she hadn’t considered that Lu Han had a father who was very significant in his and his mother’s life.

Just hearing her big brother’s tone of admiration, she knew that Lu Han’s father must be a hero he greatly admired.

Facing such a revered elder, Tang Su hadn’t even gone yet, but she was already incredibly nervous.

If she really were to visit the Lu Family to meet his parents, she feared she’d go from being socially adept to having social anxiety, not knowing what to do with herself.

And with Shen Yi causing problems too, it was all so distressing.

"Shen Yi has a crush on Lu Han, and she told you this? No, how does she know Lu Han is your boyfriend?" Tang Feng asked, perplexed.

In one family, two sisters falling for the same man was such a rare occurrence. How did it happen to the Su Family?

Tang Su then recounted the events of the day.

After hearing the whole story, Tang Feng didn’t have the heart to tease them. He hadn’t seen them since yesterday afternoon, and they had secretly arranged to meet this morning at the opera garden?

Did they miss each other that much?

Then they might as well get married soon, and once married, they could be together morning and night without anyone interfering.

"Don’t worry, let your big brother handle this," Tang Feng said, noticing Tang Su’s furrowed brow, understanding that she was feeling troubled.

In his view, there wasn’t much to worry about. Many people knew she was with Lu Han. Shen Yi, if decent, should logically back off after learning Lu Han is her cousin’s boyfriend.

The fact that she only tried to persuade Tang Su privately showed she still had some shame.

People, as long as they want to save face, that’s enough.

The scariest thing is those who have no shame at all.

They are the ones who easily become clingy and refuse to let go.

"Big brother, don’t, cousin Su Ruoan hasn’t admitted that she’s genuinely harboring a crush on Lu Han; this is all my speculation."

"How off is your speculation from the truth?"

Tang Su shook her head, "Not much."

"That’s right, as long as it’s not far off, it’s fine. I’ve told you, since big brother is handling this matter, after accepting such a valuable engagement gift from your family’s Lu Han, it’s not right for you to worry about this. Alright, get some rest, I’ll call you down later."

"Okay."

**

The team of chefs invited by Su Wanyi were ready at her house, and by the time it got dark, Shen Ao and Su Wanyi had arrived home.

As Mrs. Shen, Su Wanyi had given Shen Ao plenty of face over the years. All of Su Wanyi’s younger siblings were at their place today. Even if she were angry that he did not come back early to pick up her mother from the airport, due to his dalliance with another woman, she wouldn’t make a scene now.

"Did the third child and his family also come?" After getting into the car, Shen Ao took the initiative to apologize to his wife. When he saw that Su Wanyi didn’t want to bring up his absurd behavior, he switched the topic to her family members.

Out of Su Wanyi’s siblings, Shen Ao was most concerned about Su Ruoan.

After all, Su Ruoan was the cinnabar mole and bright moonlight he couldn’t have.

Among the Su sisters, Su Ruoan was the daughter-in-law his mother was most pleased with. However, Su Ruoan wasn’t interested in him, which led him to turn around and marry Su Wanyi.

Back then, he was young and, on top of that, Su Ruoan was into her dull job and the work environment that made him nauseous. He was truly angry, thinking that if he couldn’t be her man, he might as well be her brother-in-law and agitate her.

Over the years, he worked doubly hard to make money, dressing Su Wanyi in gold and garishness, just to spite Su Ruoan, hoping she would regret it.

But, the fact proved that after all these years, he was like a jumping clown.

He had been performing a one-man show for many years.

When Su Ruoan married Tang Shengyi and they had a son and daughter, Shen Ao finally realized he was entirely different from Tang Shengyi.

Su Ruoan simply did not like his type.

"Taking a family photo, how could they not come? Even Tang Feng has returned."

"Oh, that’s true. I guess I was in the wrong as the great uncle for being more than a day late while even Tang Feng came back."

"Enough with the pretense, just make sure you behave yourself when we get back."

"Got it."

Shen Ao was quite generous as a brother-in-law.

"I heard you mention that Yangming is moving to a new house tomorrow. I’ve got someone to prepare a large fortune plant for him, wishing him a prosperous career in China. If he earns more, my wife gets a bigger share, and that means more pocket money for me, so I won’t be upset."

"Cut the smooth talk, that’s more like it. Also, I’ve been thinking about the red envelope. Since we are the eldest sister and brother-in-law, we should give an 88,000 yuan red envelope to celebrate my little brother’s housewarming joyfully."

"Fine, as you say, that’s the amount we’ll give. Won’t the third child’s family feel too much pressure?"

"They can give 66,000 yuan."

"Over 60,000 is a lot of pressure too," Shen Ao continued to worry about Su Ruoan.

"She’s your sister-in-law, her husband makes money from stocks, giving a 66,000 yuan red envelope isn’t pressuring. Stop worrying needlessly."

"Do you still have some crooked thoughts about your sister-in-law?"

"I swear, don’t talk nonsense," Shen Ao raised his hands to swear.

His infatuation with Su Ruoan had ended eight hundred years ago, after all, he wasn’t the type of man who would sell a tragic love story.

He simply thought, among the five Su siblings, only Su Ruoan and her husband were on fixed salaries, earning so little; there’s no need to pretend to be more generous than necessary.
