Chapter 279: 248 Never Let Go (2 more updates)_1

Tang Su looked up at Lu Han, puzzled; she somewhat failed to grasp the meaning of his words.

What did he mean, his mother was not much nobler than he?

The next second, Lu Han provided her with an explanation.

"When my mom was with my dad, in the eyes of others, my dad was a man with a wife. In that era, the commands of parents were akin to imperial edicts, and moreover, marriage wasn’t about the certificate or the feelings between two people, but the actual facts."

Tang Su nodded; she hadn’t experienced that era of factual marriages, but she had read descriptions of it in the university library.

In that particular era, there was great restraint between men and women. Even holding hands in broad daylight could make a man responsible to go to the woman’s house to offer a betrothal gift and the like.

The dowries of that era, compared to today’s, were much simpler; owning the ’big three’ items meant one was quite well-off.

Wedding ceremonies from that time, if placed in the present, would be seen as exceedingly simple, with just a formal couple’s photo serving as a very nice wedding picture.

To wear a white wedding dress for a photo, one not only needed a good family background but also modern thinking.

Even if everything from that era, viewed with today’s eyes, seems like they had nothing much, Tang Su always felt a sense of sincerity when she read about those times.

If there were a time machine, she would genuinely love to travel back and have a good look, to feel the simplicity of that era and the genuine sincerity between people.

"Beijing is so vast, and you have so many relatives who have lived here for years. Perhaps one of them is aware of my mother and my ’dark history.’ The moment these rumors reach your ears, I would be seen as overreaching."

"But even then, Tang Su, I wouldn’t want to let go of your hand. Do you understand?"

Tang Su: "..."

Would that happen?

In this city, could such slanderous rumors about them still exist?

Didn’t her older brother say Lu Maoyan was very impressive, not just a hero of this city but also a great hero of their country and nation?

If that’s the case, then how could anyone have the audacity to speak ill of a great hero’s wife and child?

Besides, she knew what Lu Han wanted to say; his key point was just that when his mother was with his father, his father had a wife.

Some people misunderstood and thought his mother was the ’other woman.’

So, the key point Tang Su received from Lu Han’s message was actually just this word—misunderstanding.

Even though Lu Han hadn’t made his parents’ situation clearer or more specific, Tang Su believed that it was a long story that couldn’t be fully explained in a few words.

Tang Su believed that since Lu Han said it was a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding.

Moreover, she did not think that the mother who raised a child with qualities like Lu Han would willingly be the kind of woman who accepts being ’the other woman.’

"Lu Han, I won’t let go of your hand either, not ever." Tang Su took the initiative to grasp Lu Han’s hand tightly.

"No matter what happens in the future? And no matter what we hear?" Lu Han was a little uncontrollably excited. What he wanted was actually very simple—Tang Su’s certainty, her unwavering commitment.

Now, Tang Su had given him what he wanted.

"Yes, no matter what happens in the future, unless you don’t want me, I will never not want you."

"Alright, then let’s settle on that. Once your family portrait is done, come over to my house for dinner, or we can directly have both of our parents meet."

"Then I’ll go back and discuss it with my parents."

"Sure, my parents listen to me. They’re both retired at home with nothing much to do, so everything will be scheduled at your convenience."

"That’s fine." Tang Su nodded.

"Then for our first time meeting the parents, what should I prepare? Lu Han, you have to tell me directly."

"Believe me, the mere fact you’re willing to meet them is the best gift of all."

"Then I can’t just go meet them empty-handed, can I?" Tang Su pouted.

"I’ll take care of the gifts. You just bring them when you meet them, and they will have gifts waiting for you too. You can rest assured and accept them."

Tang Su: "..."

She had never seen a son who schemed so much against his own parents.

No wonder people nowadays are reluctant to have sons. If every son were as self-serving as him, turning their elbow out instead of in, then raising a son would really be for nothing.

"Let’s just enjoy our barbecue now, and leave the rest to me."

"Mm."

"Have you thought about bringing me, your boyfriend, to your little uncle’s housewarming party tonight?"

"Tonight?" Tang Su hesitated a bit, but also wanted to bring him along. This way, she could fully extinguish any hopes that Shen Yi and her great aunt had, preventing them from pulling any unexpected stunts for which she was unprepared.

"No time like the present," Lu Han said with a smile. Today, he really wanted to meet the elders of the Su Family.

"Then I’ll ask my little uncle," Tang Su relented.

"Mm."

Tang Su took out her phone and called Su Yangming. Hearing that she wanted to bring Lu Han over in the evening, Su Yangming immediately agreed.

"That’s great, my little niece. My housewarming is one joyous event, and bringing your boyfriend adds luster to that joy, it’s a double blessing, a truly happy occasion!"

Su Yangming said cheerfully.

The nervousness Tang Su initially felt eased significantly after hearing her little uncle say that.

She had felt quite pressured at first, but now, she didn’t feel it anymore.

"Then I’ll bring him along tonight."

"Yes, bring him. How’s his alcohol tolerance? He needs to have a good drink with me tonight."

"Got it, but you can’t get him too drunk."

"I know, I know. You haven’t even seen how he is yet, and you’re already so protective of him," Su Yangming complained inwardly. He thought it wasn’t a good sign for her to be so possessive over a man.

"I’m not being overprotective. See you tonight."

"Mmm."

After hanging up, Tang Su gave Lu Han an ’OK’ sign indicating everything was settled. Lu Han nodded with a smile and also messaged Bai Wei, "Mom, I have a get-together tonight and won’t be coming home for dinner."

"Up to you," Bai Wei quickly replied with two words.

At this point, Sun Qing came over, "What are you two whispering and gesturing about? Discussing some happy news?"

"Are you assigning us some task again?" Lu Han asked instead of answering.

"Who dares to assign you two too much work? You two are just here to show off your love and torture us single folks, aren’t you?"

"I’m a single dog? But I’m about to leave that behind, right?" Tang Su was in a good mood and didn’t hesitate to tease Sun Qing in front of Lu Han.

"Miss Sun has someone she fancies?" Lu Han joined in. "Whoever it is, that man would be fortunate."

"Lu Han, she’s got her eyes on—"

Tang Su was about to spill the beans when Sun Qing successfully covered her mouth, glaring at Tang Su with wide eyes, threateningly warning her not to tell Lu Han about the matter.

Tang Su could only comply and keep silent.
