Chapter 350: 319 Beijing, Wu Family (2 updates)_1

"Big Sister, the way you speak is inappropriate, isn’t it? What do you mean by saying that I’m scheming something? I simply understand that you have a lot on your plate, with elderly to care for and children to look after. We, on the other hand, just have one son and are a family of three, so things are simpler."

"I had good intentions, but when they pass through your lips, why do they become me having ill intent? Could it be that you’re going through menopause?"

Xie Lan had always been unhappy with Su Wanyi, and if it weren’t for Su Jiahao always taking sides, siding with his own eldest sister, and the fact that Su Wanyi had indeed previously taken good care of their family, buying things for Su Yu generously.

If it weren’t for that, she would have stopped tolerating this many years ago.

"Second brother’s wife, who are you calling menopausal? Don’t think that just because you bore a son for our Su Family, you’re something special."

"Hey, Big Sister, I am something special. Out of all the children, only our Su Yu carries the Su surname. Right now, he’s the sole seedling of the Su Family. I am something special. Without me, without Su Yu, just see if the old lady would be in good spirits."

Today, Xie Lan just didn’t want to indulge Su Wanyi anymore.

"Exactly, what I just said is that you are going through menopause. Haven’t you thought about it, how hard the third brother works for this family, running around here and there, and have you ever appreciated him for it?"

Being pulled back by Su Jiahao, Xie Lan, looking at her husband who didn’t dare to pull his eldest sister but only dared to pull his wife, remembering past events, felt even more irritated.

Also incidentally, she felt indignant on behalf of the third brother.

"Say less," Su Jiahao called out to his wife.

At home, Xie Lan could treat him any way she liked, but once they stepped outside, she had to give him, her husband, some face.

Xie Lan was very clear about this, as she always supported her husband in public.

Whatever Su Jiahao said went, since if there were any grievances, Su Jiahao would proactively let her vent them when they got home.

Otherwise, because of Su Wanyi, their home would have been in constant turmoil for many years.

Su Jiahao was also very clear about his eldest sister’s bad temper. If it weren’t for that, her husband, Shen Ao, wouldn’t have initially looked down on her.

To be fair, after getting married, Shen Ao fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and as a father to their family.

As for his affairs with women outside, they were just casual flings, and once the women involved took things seriously, Shen Ao would pay them off to leave.

The women outside hoping to use their beauty to make him divorce were simply deluding themselves.

Shen Ao had been in business for so many years outside and had a clear head on his shoulders.

His elder sister suffered a lot because of this, but since she and the children depended on Shen Ao, a certain temper was naturally not something she could unleash on him.

So she could only take out her frustration on the family.

Strangers certainly were not an option for her to vent on.

Knowing his elder sister also had a hard time enduring, Su Jiahao always cajoled his wife, urging her to give in to the elder sister whenever they clashed, because after all, she was quite pitiable.

In the past, Xie Lan would yield if she could, but today, she didn’t want to yield.

And it was because Su Wanyi was too unpleasant and grating.

Was it so difficult to acknowledge the success of the younger brother’s upbringing?

Was it to die for to admit that Tang Feng and Tang Su were exceptional?

"Su Jiahao, why should I say less? Didn’t you hear what your sister said about me? The way she speaks isn’t just about me, it’s about you too." Marrying for so many years, it was the first time Xie Lan spoke to Su Jiahao like this in front of the Su Family.

Su Jiahao was as clear as a mirror inside his heart, and also, Su Yu’s expression when seeing Tang Su and Lu Han now differed from when they first arrived.

They were cousins, and he was always someone who valued kinship.

He was happy to see cousins get along well.

However, what he thought might not be the case for others.

"Xie Lan, stop trying to stir up trouble between my brother and me. I’m just talking about you, I haven’t mentioned my brother. You’re like this..."

"Sister, it’s not appropriate for you to talk about your sister-in-law like that, is it? This is a hospital, everyone should say less. If mom hears this inside, she won’t be happy either," Su Ruoan couldn’t stand listening to Su Wanyi talk like that anymore and couldn’t help but interrupt to remind her.

"Huh, Su Ruoan, since when is it your turn to take charge and play peacemaker in the Su Family?" Su Wanyi’s authority as the eldest in the Su Family was once again challenged by someone younger than her, her own sister Su Ruoan, turning her pointed finger towards her.

"Sister, you are the eldest in the Su Family. When father was alive, he also said that we, as the younger siblings, should listen to our parents and eldest sister. But if you ask yourself, is it appropriate for you, as the eldest, to speak to us like this?"

"Mom is still here, and she’s still the one in charge of the Su Family, not you."

Su Ruoan always spoke calmly and without haste. Her steady tone, firm gaze, and composed demeanor made those who stood opposite her subconsciously feel uneasy.

"..."

"Fine, Su Yu has become Tang Su’s lapdog because of Lu Han, and both of you have become lapdogs for the third child of the Su Family. How pathetic, truly pathetic," Su Wanyi sneered sarcastically after being silent for a while.

From the start to the end, she never believed she had done anything wrong.

The ones who made mistakes, who misspoke, were always others, never her.

"Eldest aunt, you’re wrong. Even if I’ve become Tang Su’s lapdog, it’s not because of Lu Han, but because of Wu Jie from the Wu Family in Beijing. If my eldest aunt hasn’t heard of them, you can ask my great uncle what the Wu Family means in the eyes of Beijing’s citizens," Su Yu said, stepping forward to defend himself after being called a lapdog by his own relative.

"..."

At this point, even Su Wanyi’s typically icy and detached expression finally cracked.

She had been too engrossed in quarreling and had forgotten that the Wu family’s grandfather and grandson also came to visit the elderly lady, courtesy of Tang Su’s family.

She really hadn’t expected that Tang Su’s family, who had lived in the countryside all year round and should have been unacquainted with the ways of the world, seemed to know so many influential people.

And those connections were so significant.

On the other hand, they had been struggling in Beijing for so many years, feeling as though they were constantly at the brink of meeting important people in this city where gold seemed to lie everywhere, thinking they had picked up quite a few golden chances.

Yet, they couldn’t compare to the third child’s family residing in the small city of Hua City?

The thought made Su Wanyi very uncomfortable.

But she had to admit it.

Old Master Wu had said that Tang Su was his good friend despite the age difference, and he liked Tang Su quite a bit. Had it not been for Lu Han getting there first, he had intended to make Tang Su his granddaughter-in-law.

The Su Family’s third child had only one daughter, Tang Su, whom many prominent families were racing to wed.

As for her, she had three daughters, all beautiful, married into families of equal status, and she even provided a dowry that was practically equivalent to the bride prices.

All of this was just beyond belief.
