Chapter 363: 332 Happy, Drunk (3 more updates)_1

On this end, seeing Su Wanyi hang up the phone, Shen Yi’s eyes were burning as she stared at her.

"Mom, what did Tang Su say?" Shen Yi’s tone was somewhat excited.

Once she knew that it was impossible with Lu Han, she decisively gave up on this big tree, and she had never imagined that Tang Su knew so many powerful people.

She had written off Lu Han, but Wu Jie was still up for grabs.

If Wu Jie wasn’t interested in her, then there were still people from the Bai Family, right?

After all, there had to be one big shot around Tang Su who would be her turn, didn’t there?

Anyway, she was very realistic.

Love or not, it didn’t matter, what mattered was that after getting married, not only would her quality of life not decline, it would get better and better—that would be perfect.

It didn’t really matter who her husband was.

What she wanted was never something elusive; emotions were elusive.

"Your aunt took the call, said she was dining out, I heard a lot of noise from her end, it must be a crowd," Su Wanyi said somewhat bitterly.

When one man succeeds, his whole family ascends to heaven.

For so many years, she had always felt that she was better than Su Ruoan in every aspect—food, clothing, living conditions, even in having children, she had four, while Su Ruoan only had two.

Moreover, she had seen things in her lifetime that Su Ruoan hadn’t.

Bags worth tens of thousands, jewelry worth hundreds of thousands, jade pieces worth hundreds of thousands—Su Ruoan hadn’t worn them in her lifetime, while her jewelry box was full of such things that were out of Su Ruoan’s reach.

Even if one day Shen Ao lost all his wealth overnight, she could live a comfortable life in her old age just by pawning off her jewelry.

But in the end, she found out that despite having so much, her sense of happiness was not as strong as Su Ruoan’s.

And what she used to have, in the future, Su Ruoan and Tang Su would too, and even more so, the things they would have would be of even higher quality, even better.

It would certainly be of a kind she had never seen before.

It won’t do, she couldn’t lose to Su Ruoan for the rest of her life, she couldn’t always be outshone by her younger sister. The eldest and the second are already married, that cannot be changed.

But she still had a trump card—Shen Yi.

Shen Yi might be a bit prickly, but the etiquette she had learned was still there. If Shen Yi married into a wealthy family, she would definitely not be ill-mannered. She just needed to restrain her temper and improve her emotional intelligence. To snag a golden bachelor of Lu Han’s caliber wouldn’t be a problem.

It’s just that time was pressing, and they had shortcuts they could take.

Even if taking shortcuts meant asking for help, Su Wanyi was ready to do whatever it took.

Shen Yi had also come to terms with it. Was it just a matter of swallowing one’s pride?

For a bright future, she was willing to endure momentary discomfort. Once she became Mrs. Wu from the Wu Family, if she got along well with Wu Jie, wouldn’t there be chances to whisper in his ear and sow discord between him and Tang Su?

"It’s probably another dinner with Lu Han’s family. Lu Han’s family really likes Tang Su. Mom, how come Tang Su is so lucky?"

"She met these people in Hua City. You know, if our family hadn’t moved to Beijing back then, it would have been better. If I were in Hua City, I definitely would’ve done better than Tang Su."

"Enough. If you had grown up in Hua City, you’d have been a real country bumpkin with no exposure to the world. How could anyone fancy you?" Su Wanyi deflated Shen Yi with her words.

She really didn’t understand how Shen Yi could be envious of Tang Su’s upbringing.

Even though the men Tang Su now knew were all impressive, if time could really be turned back, she would still have them settle in Beijing rather than stay in Hua City.

Chastised by her mother, Shen Yi pouted and didn’t dare to talk back.

"Mom, I’m hungry. If they are not coming back, let’s just eat," she said.

"Sure, let’s eat," said Su Wanyi as she looked over the table filled with a sumptuous feast.

Oh——

**

Dinner took an hour and then came to an end. Everyone had spent the day out and about and were somewhat tired; by 7:30 PM, everyone had dispersed.

Naturally, Lu Han went back home with his parents and his sister. Before parting ways, he told Tang Su that he would pick her up the next day, and then they would visit Wu Donglin together.

Tang Su nodded and agreed.

That evening, after learning that Lu Han had taken a photo of her from Teacher Song’s study, Tang Su didn’t talk much.

Although she was full of doubts, whatever scenario she came up with, it all pointed to the fact that Lu Han hadn’t lied and that his feelings for her had been real from the beginning.

Initially, she didn’t quite believe that Lu Han had fallen for her at first sight. Now, she truly did.

On the way home, Lu Han kept asking Lu Zhu, "Sis, what did you say to Tang Su earlier?"

"I didn’t say anything," Lu Zhu replied, having already forgotten about that matter after the meal ended.

"How could you not say anything? Did you tell Tang Su about the fact that I took the photo from brother-in-law’s study?" Lu Han pressed.

The more he thought about it, the more he figured that was probably the only piece of gossip Lu Zhu could have shared.

Ultimately, this was all Song Mingxiu’s fault, being the kind of man who told his wife everything.

Hmph, he looked down on his brother-in-law.

"Heh, so it really was you who took it. When your brother-in-law told me, I was still speaking up for you, defending you, assuring him with all my heart that you wouldn’t do such a thing."

Lu Han: "..."

Why did he feel like he had walked into a trap?

So it turned out his sister didn’t know he had taken the photo?

"What photo?" Bai Wei asked curiously upon hearing their conversation.

"It’s nothing," Lu Han replied sulkily. His sister was truly annoying.

"How can it be nothing? Xiaozhu, you tell me," Bai Wei urged.

Then, Lu Zhu told Bai Wei the whole story.

After listening, Bai Wei’s eyebrows furrowed slightly before she said, "Has it been that long already? Lu Han, you should have told Mom earlier about this sort of thing. Old Lu, I think we definitely need to visit Hua City before the New Year."

"For what?" A tipsy Lu Maoyan, who was feeling woozy, hadn’t caught any of their conversation.

"To present the betrothal gifts, propose marriage, and set a date for the wedding—to get the Lu Family a bride, what else?" Bai Wei said, exasperated. If it weren’t for the sake of the future in-laws, she would have left him drunk at the hotel and not bothered with him over his uninhibited drinking tonight.

"Old Lu has already married a lovely bride; no need to marry again," Lu Maoyan chuckled, having had a bit too much to drink, and his logic had taken a leave of absence.

Bai Wei: "... You don’t need to marry again, but Little Lu does."

"Little Lu? There’s someone new? Don’t scare me!" exclaimed Lu Maoyan, jolted into a startled upright position in a second.

"Pfft—"

Lu Zhu couldn’t help bursting into laughter, "Mom, Dad is really drunk today."

Bai Wei’s face flushed with anger. Her husband had been gone for years; if she really were pregnant, wouldn’t that turn her into a monster?
