Chapter 304: 273 looks very much like (1 update)_1

Today, after spending the whole afternoon talking about Su Ruoan with Bai Wei, she truly could not believe that such a perceptive woman like Bai Wei would knowingly commit such disgraceful acts.

She didn’t believe it, yet her mother spoke with such assurance that Su Ruoan herself was confused.

At that moment, Su Wanyi stepped forward, "Youngest aunt, mom wasn’t herself on our way home today. She was so worried about you all that she barely ate any dinner before insisting I bring her to see you."

"You know what kind of person our mom is, probably even better than I do. So, how could she be intentionally slandering someone?"

"She knew Lu Maoyan’s legitimate wife. In fact, verifying this matter is quite simple. If you find out whether Lu Maoyan’s legitimate wife is named Wang Cuilan or not, you’ll know the truth."

"..."

Su Ruoan’s head felt swollen. Of course, she knew it wouldn’t be hard to verify this matter; what was difficult was...

She didn’t even know how to talk about this whole situation.

After all, even if what her mother said was true, it was still an issue from the older generation. What did it have to do with Lu Han?

There’s an old saying, "If the upper beam is not straight, the lower ones will go aslant."

There is a certain truth to this; actually, it also has a certain probability.

Seeing that Su Ruoan and her daughter remained silent, Su Wanyi glanced at Shen Yi behind her. Limping with her cane, Shen Yi came forward, "Third aunt, Tang Su, I know that we’ve had some misunderstandings before, but I am absolutely not framing Lu Han in this matter."

"Lu Han had an ex-girlfriend named Ouyang Rui. I heard he liked Ouyang Rui very much. Ouyang Chen was nothing but a thug, and the ’big brother’ he followed was quite powerful in the underworld. Once you were in their gang, there was no way out."

"However, my friend told me that Lu Han, for the sake of Ouyang Rui’s peace, went alone to that place and rescued Ouyang Chen, even investing money in his restaurant. I’ve seen a photo of Ouyang Rui, Tang Su, you look a lot like her."

"..."

To wound the heart is nothing more than this.

Tang Su understood the meaning behind Shen Yi’s words.

The last few words were the key point: she wanted her to know that she resembled Lu Han’s ex-girlfriend, suggesting nothing less than that she was a substitute for his former lover.

Tang Su’s lips quivered twice. She was too agitated, her emotions surged so violently that she wanted to speak on behalf of Lu Han, but her throat was so dry that when she opened her mouth, not a single word came out.

It was the same for Su Ruoan. Before entering the door, their family’s spirits were high, but upon entering, it felt like stepping into hell.

She knew in her heart that they should not rely only on one side of the story; she should ask the one directly involved and give them a chance to speak.

However, the things her mother and Shen Yi said made it seem somewhat awkward to approach the other party.

After all, if these things turned out to be true, it would be a scandal, and no one would like to have their past scars exposed by a prospective in-law.

It was normal for Lu Han to have an ex-girlfriend, given his age. All of that wasn’t important.

But if Lu Han indeed saw Tang Su as a substitute for his ex-girlfriend, that would be going too far.

They needed time to digest this information and then figure out what to do next.

However, some couldn’t wait. Tang Feng, snapping back to his senses, turned to find Lu Han to settle the score, "I’m going to ask Lu Han for an explanation."

"Come back." Before Su Ruoan and Tang Su could react, Tang Shengyi opened his mouth and sternly called his son back.

"Dad, are you just going to watch him bully Tang Su?" Tang Feng’s eyes were red with anger.

He didn’t like his grandmother; sometimes, what she said was truly hurtful and excessive.

But tonight, the words his grandmother had spoken didn’t seem to affect her personally, and he felt they were quite credible.

What’s more, the age difference between Lu Han’s parents was indeed too great.

Yet Lu Maoyan was a hero, and Lu Han’s mother was excessively beautiful. As the saying goes, "Even heroes have a hard time overcoming the allure of a beautiful woman," and history is full of heroes who couldn’t resist beauty.

Lu Maoyan was a hero, and having such a beautiful woman by his side was like the hero’s downfall.

"Whether he bullied Tang Su or not, you’re just going to get angry and settle scores with them based on what others casually say? Don’t tell me your head is filled with water?"

"Tang Shengyi, what nonsense are you talking about? Am I ’others’?" Grandmother Su couldn’t believe that Tang Shengyi would define her, his mother-in-law, in this way.

It seemed that over the years, her dissatisfaction with her son-in-law had been mirrored by a lack of respect from him towards her as a mother-in-law.

"Exactly, Dad, Grandma isn’t just anyone."

"I know, your grandmother is not just anyone to us, but to the Lu Family, she is just someone else. If you just show up like that, especially when they have something going on tonight, even if you do go, no one will be there to solve our family’s problem."

"Fengfeng, Dad has been telling you since you were young that no matter what the problem is, staying calm is the most important thing. First, calm down, think of an appropriate solution, and then go solve the problem."

"We have known Lu Han for more than a day or two, and your sister has liked him for eight years. So, what kind of person he is, your sister knows best in her heart."

"..."

Tang Feng looked at Tang Su and his agitated emotions gradually subsided.

"I’m sorry, I was too agitated," Tang Feng apologized to Tang Su.

Tang Su shook her head, "Big Brother, I don’t blame you; you are just concerned about me."

Her throat felt choked; hearing from her own relatives that in Lu Han’s eyes, she was nothing more than a stand-in was truly hurtful.

Actually, even if she really was just a stand-in for Lu Han, if they truly cared for her, her grandmother and great aunt could have spoken more tactfully.

Of course, she understood them.

If the positions were reversed today, if it were Shen Yi dating Lu Han while she was the one secretly in love and unable to win his affection, suddenly learning that Lu Han considered Shen Yi a mere stand-in, she might not handle it as well as Shen Yi did.

"What, you don’t think there’s something wrong with that whole family, do you? Have you set your hearts on becoming in-laws with such people?" Grandmother Su raised her eyebrows as she looked at Su Ruoan.

"Mom, you’re always so aggressive. When we don’t speak up, you forcefully project your thoughts onto us, and when we do speak, as long as it’s not to your satisfaction, you still get angry."

"I know that you and Big Sister are worried about our family, and firstly, I want to say thank you. Moreover, this news is too sudden for us; we need time to verify it. After verifying, we also need time to think it through properly."

"It is true, so what else is there to verify?" Grandmother Su didn’t understand.

She knew Wang Cuilan.

All those things had come directly from Wang Cuilan’s own mouth. She had never seen the young Bai Wei, but she had encountered Lu Maoyan at the hospital. Although many years had passed and she had forgotten what Lu Maoyan looked like, she remembered his name very clearly.
