Chapter 302: 271 Harmony and comfort (5 rapid updates)_1

Lu Zhu promised to be home within half an hour, and Song Mingxiu managed to arrive in just twenty-five minutes, almost violating a traffic rule at one intersection in the process.

Fortunately, he did nothing illegal.

When the two arrived at the house, the servants were serving hot dishes one after another, and a large clay pot of crucian carp soup was simmering as well.

Of the three people fishing, only Tang Shengyi had a catch, and Tang Su praised her father heartily for it.

While Tang Shengyi was smug, he didn’t forget to tease his daughter, "Even when you’re so smitten with Lu Han, you still think of your father. That’s really something."

Tang Su: "..."

The whole room burst into hearty laughter at Tang Shengyi’s words, creating a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.

Tang Shengyi and Su Ruoan were relieved to know that Lu Han’s family, despite their wealth, was not arrogant; they were amiable and approachable without a hint of condescension.

They didn’t feel looked down upon at all.

The couple truly felt at ease marrying Tang Su into that family.

Bai Wei was also eager to welcome a daughter-in-law. The two chatted all afternoon, and Bai Wei even made a special call to choose an auspicious date, matching the couple’s zodiac signs.

These were just formalities. Bai Wei wasn’t too particular about them, but they had to be followed since their family still had the elderly Bai patriarch, and her husband sometimes believed in a bit of metaphysics.

After all, matching zodiac signs was for the children’s benefit.

People nowadays were quite shrewd. With the couple genuinely in love, those in charge of matching zodiac signs were happy to say a few flattering words. By uttering some auspicious phrases, they could make a tidy sum from big red envelopes — why not enjoy the perks?

Bai Wei was not the least bit worried about any issues with their zodiac signs. If they were eye to eye, the zodiac compatibility would not be a problem.

And if the zodiac signs were incompatible, they probably wouldn’t be able to see eye to eye anyway.

"Come, sit down and eat," Bai Wei called out to her daughter and son-in-law.

"Sure, we’ll just go wash our hands first. Uncle and Auntie, please have a seat," Lu Zhu said, taking Song Mingxiu with her and not forgetting to greet Tang Shengyi and Su Ruoan.

"Sure." Su Ruoan and Tang Shengyi took their seats.

The family dining table was a large round one, with Lu Maoyan seated in the host’s spot. To his left sat the lady of the house, Bai Wei, and to the right were seats for the daughter and son-in-law. Next to that was the son’s place.

Lu Han’s place was beside Tang Su’s. Tang Su sat next to Tang Feng, and the next two spots belonged to Tang Shengyi and Su Ruoan, who were seated beside Bai Wei, completing the circle.

Any extra stools were taken away by the servants.

After all the dishes were served and everyone was seated, Lu Zhu took the initiative to pull out her phone and show her WeChat QR code to Tang Su, "Tang Su, let’s add each other on WeChat."

"Sure, sister." Tang Su took out her phone and scanned Lu Zhu’s WeChat QR code.

Tang Su sent a friend request, which Lu Zhu instantly accepted.

Tang Su’s WeChat name was simple, just her usual nickname — [Tang Bao].

However, she had been thinking about changing it recently but hadn’t yet decided on a new one.

She would change it when inspiration struck.

Lu Zhu’s WeChat name was simply her initials — [LZ].

After adding each other on WeChat, Lu Han pushed a bowl of cooled fish soup towards Tang Su, "You can drink it now."

"Thank you."

Taking a cue from Lu Han, Song Mingxiu served a bowl of fish soup for his wife as well and looked at Lu Han with a smile, "Wow, Young Master Lu has actually learned to take care of others. The power of love truly seems extraordinary."

Song Mingxiu’s teasing remark was met with a light slap from Lu Zhu, who gave him a warning look, signaling him to keep quiet.

It was one thing to joke normally, but Tang Su’s parents were also present.

"Of course," Lu Han chuckled. "With such a great man as my father setting an example, and my brother-in-law here as a role model, even if I were foolish, I’d surely pick up a thing or two, right, brother-in-law?"

Lu Han wasn’t afraid of Song Mingxiu’s sarcasm.

He was even better at pampering than himself. Last time, his sister had a miscarriage, and the elders of the Song Family were dissatisfied but didn’t dare to scold her in front of her. Still, they blamed her in both overt and subtle ways, questioning why she was still working overtime and staying up late during her pregnancy, hinting she was negligent and the like.

Song Mingxiu completely exploded that time, making it crystal clear to his family that he truly cared for Lu Zhu, not as they claimed, that he was done with her once they were married.

He wasn’t the kind of man who treated women as mere tools; Song Mingxiu truly doted on and loved his sister-in-law.

As for Song Mingxiu, the brother-in-law, Lu Han truly admired him.

"A promising young man, well done." Song Mingxiu raised his fish soup to Lu Han.

And Lu Han accepted with a smile.

"Have you picked a date?" Seeing the two so affectionate, Lu Maoyan asked Bai Wei impatiently.

Bai Wei shook her head, "How could it be so quick? We consulted someone and haven’t gotten a response yet. Since we asked for a thorough check, it will take at least three days. We need to choose the date carefully and also check the compatibility of their astrological birth details—it’s more official that way."

"Mhm, I received a call from Dad this afternoon, and he already knows Tang Su has visited our home. He also wants to meet his future granddaughter-in-law."

"How did he find out?" Bai Wei frowned slightly. He wanted to meet, but that depended on whether Tang Su’s family had the time, right?

She had heard that afternoon that the matriarch of the Su Family just returned from abroad, and thought surely Tang Su’s family would need to spend time with the elderly lady first.

Therefore, they spent the entire afternoon discussing the two youngsters’ matters, fortunately dealing with women who could make decisions for their households, which made the conversation go swiftly.

"As for letting him meet, in our family, it has always been your decision; I’ll listen to you."

Bai Wei: "..."

Lu Maoyan was the typical shameless buck-passer.

The old man felt guilty because he had lost her in the past and then recognized her again, only to get it wrong, but no matter how much remorse he felt, he was still her father.

She couldn’t just go against him.

"Oh, there’s another thing, Simen is coming home tonight." She almost forgot.

"Is that so?" Bai Wei was a bit excited. When one happy event occurs in the family, a series of good news tends to follow.

"Tang Su’s mother, how many days off do you still have? If Mrs. Su doesn’t have too many plans, let’s pick a day to visit Han’s grandpa’s house, shall we?"

"Yes, the full family portrait has been taken, so there shouldn’t be anything else major."

"Great, you go back and check if there’s anything else planned at home, and then I can confirm the day with you?"

"Sure, I also need to see the teacher, and the rest is just taking my husband and child for a good tour."

"Indeed, you should."

Bai Wei was happy.

After dinner, considering they had been tired out from taking the full family portrait at Chen Duoduo’s studio, Bai Wei wanted to invite them to stay the night but thought about their luggage being at the Su Family’s place, so she arranged for a car to take them back.

Bai Wei instructed the driver to be careful, as she would also be visiting the Bai Family later; Bai Simen’s return to the Bai Family was a big occasion, and they would likely have to spend the night there too.

"Yes, ma’am."

"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, we’ll be leaving now, thank you for your family’s hospitality." Tang Shengyi, as the head of the Tang Family, was very grateful to Lu Han’s parents.

"Tang Su’s dad, no need for such formalities. In the future, our families should become closer. Once you and Tang Su’s mom retire, come live in Beijing. You can choose any of the houses owned by Lu Han."

"Thank you in advance, we’ll leave now."

"Okay, let us know when you get home."

"Will do."

"Lu Han, we’re leaving now." Tang Su said to Lu Han.

"Alright, I’ll come to see you at your uncle’s house tomorrow."
