Chapter 280: 249 First Go, New Home (1st update)_1

Tang Su had planned to stay at the Sun Family’s home until just before the housewarming party began, but because she’d decided to bring Lu Han along at the last minute, she thought that regardless of what others might do, she still needed to prepare gifts for grandma and her little uncle.

So, after lunch, Tang Su and Lu Han left the gathering early.

Ouyang Chen had a business engagement in the evening and left early as well. Bai Dingxian was the one with the most free time and without a good excuse to sneak away, especially since Sun Guoxing’s craving for a game of chess struck, and neither Lu Han nor Ouyang Chen could stay, he felt compelled to keep Bai Dingxian there.

Bai Dingxian was a kind-hearted person. After hearing Sun Guoxing complain about having two unfilial grandchildren, he felt somewhat sorry for him. Even though both Lu Han and Ouyang Chen had left, and despite not being very fond of Sun Qing, he stayed to keep Sun Guoxing company, drinking tea and playing chess.

It came as a surprise to Sun Qing that Bai Dingxian was willing to stay. After all, her two male companions had left, and she thought Bai Dingxian would surely come up with a perfect excuse to slip away.

What she didn’t expect was that she hadn’t even had the chance to rack her brains to find a way to make Bai Dingxian stay. Her grandfather was so capable that with just a casual complaint about her and her elder brother, Bai Dingxian was willing to stay.

Indeed, it was an unexpected delight. Sun Qing had to admit that when it came to making Bai Dingxian stay, her grandfather had a much better way.

After seeing Ouyang Chen out, Sun Qing returned to watch the two men play chess and listen to their conversation.

Sun Guoxing knew that Sun Qing had her eye on Bai Dingxian. In terms of first impressions, he favored Bai Dingxian over Ouyang Chen, who ran a restaurant.

Moreover, with Tang Su’s boyfriend also being a doctor, Sun Guoxing became even more interested in Bai Dingxian, the medical practitioner.

When Sun Qing went out to see Ouyang Chen off, Sun Guoxing took the opportunity to ask Bai Dingxian, "Hey, what do you think of our Qingqing?"

"It’s a waste of Mr. Sun’s upbringing," Bai Dingxian replied boldly, for in his view, Sun Guoxing didn’t consider him an outsider. If he could complain about his own grandson and granddaughter in front of him, he might as well speak his mind too.

"Hmm, so you’re not interested in her?" Sun Guoxing wasn’t angry.

He didn’t like flatterers, and Bai Dingxian’s honesty, along with his lack of any hidden agenda or flattery towards Sun Qing, pleased Sun Guoxing even more.

"Mr. Sun isn’t trying to play matchmaker with me and her, is he?" asked Bai Dingxian, surprised.

"What if I were?" replied Sun Guoxing boldly.

"Then I would have to take my leave," Bai Dingxian stood up. After all, if two people are not on the same page, there was no point in staying.

"Alright, alright, you win, I won’t try to matchmake the two of you," Sun Guoxing quickly promised.

Bai Dingxian then sat down again, continuing to accompany Sun Guoxing in drinking tea and playing chess.

Unbeknownst to him, Sun Guoxing hadn’t been that interested in him initially, but after that back-and-forth exchange, Bai Dingxian had inadvertently become the most suitable candidate for a grandson-in-law in Sun Guoxing’s eyes.

This was the first time that Sun Guoxing thought Sun Qing had a pretty good eye for men.

However, there was a practical problem: Bai Dingxian was definitely the toughest nut to crack in Sun Qing’s romantic history.

But Sun Guoxing was determined to help Sun Qing win over this most difficult conquest.

With that, he wouldn’t have to worry about Sun Qing’s future anymore.

Lu Han drove directly to the busiest and most diverse shopping center in Beijing.

It was naturally also the most expensive and luxurious place for goods in town.

Tang Su wasn’t averse to spending the money, but she genuinely felt it was unnecessary.

In her eyes, her little uncle’s housewarming party was important, but no matter how important, it was just a meal.

However, in Lu Han’s eyes, it was definitely not just a meal; it was the first time he’d be meeting Tang Su’s extended family as her boyfriend, aside from her parents.

Among the family members, there was Tang Su’s little uncle, whom she cared about, and there were relatives she wasn’t so concerned about, yet with whom she shared an unbreakable bond of blood.

It had not been easy for him to convince Tang Su to take him to meet her family, something Tang Su felt was unnecessary, but he couldn’t really think it was unnecessary.

He valued Tang Su, so naturally he valued every one of her family members.

So, when Lu Han was holding Tang Su’s hand, going on a shopping spree, and crazily swiping his card, Tang Su tried to stop him several times; however, Lu Han was not only undeterred, but he also continued to buy, buy, buy.

Essentially, there was a gift for each person.

From the grandmother, the oldest aunt, the second uncle, the fourth aunt, the little uncle, down to brothers, sisters, younger brothers, and younger sisters, everyone had one.

When it came to buying top-grade bird’s nests, Lu Han didn’t even blink an eye.

Besides those items, at every place they visited, after Lu Han mentioned his needs, whatever the sales assistant recommended, he took it all without hesitation.

Eventually, the duty manager of the shopping mall arranged for several quite good-looking employees to help them carry the items to Lu Han’s car.

In less than two hours, they had spent an astonishing amount of money, and Tang Su said that if her two small shops also encountered such a generous boss, her service would definitely be just as impeccable.

Absolutely no discounts.

After they left the shopping center, the money wasn’t spent by Tang Su, but she still felt a pang in her chest for Lu Han.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Han asked after seeing off the staff and getting into the car, noticing Tang Su staring blankly at the items on the back seat. "Did we forget something? Want to go back and check?"

Tang Su, afraid that Lu Han would do just that, quickly pulled him back. "Don’t go back there, I’m already regretting letting you come home with me just to freeload off a meal from my little uncle."

The cost of the meal was simply too high.

Even if Lu Han dined daily at Xinghua Hall, it wouldn’t amount to so much money, right?

"Why regret it? Is it because you think I can’t make a good impression?" Lu Han teased her, knowing what she was fretting about.

But really, there was no need.

If his mother knew about these gifts, she would surely say that what he bought was not presentable enough.

Fortunately, today’s meeting wasn’t an official one between both parents, so it didn’t have to be too formal.

Bringing gifts was just to make a good impression in front of Tang Su’s relatives, to add an impression point.

If they’re not satisfied, then during the next official meeting, he could still try to make a better impression for himself.

However, he had picked out premium items, so they shouldn’t detract from his score.

"Not at all, I just think you’re spending too much. No matter how the money was obtained, it certainly wasn’t blown in by the wind."

"You can worry about anything for me, just not about the money. Being able to spend money to marry a wife is not a problem. The real fear is spending money without being able to marry a wife—that’s a real problem, don’t you agree?"

Tang Su was amused by his words, "There’s no such thing as not being able to marry a wife even with spending money, unless one is a fool."

Lu Han checked the time. "So should we go directly to your little uncle’s new house now, or go to the place where we’re eating to wait?"

Tang Su calculated the time, looking at the message Su Ruoan sent a few minutes before, "Let’s go to my little uncle’s new house first. My mom asked me to buy a couple of green plants to take back."

"Alright."
