Chapter 365: 334 Countermove, Break the Technique (2 more updates)_1

Tang Su and Su Ruoan both had anticipated that this would be the issue, yet what they didn’t foresee was that Su Wanyi would make such a direct request.

Su Ruoan found this matter quite troublesome; Tang Su was still an unmarried girl, and becoming a matchmaker was certainly too early for her.

Just as Su Ruoan was about to reject the proposal on behalf of Tang Su once again, she was stopped by Tang Su.

Tang Su looked at Su Wanyi, "Auntie, so, does Shen Yifei actually like racing or not?"

"Huh?" Su Wanyi was utterly confused by the question.

Shen Yifei liked cars, but he wasn’t fond of racing.

Earlier, the reason Su Wanyi brought up Shen Yifei was nothing more than a pretext for a more important matter to discuss.

Their actual goal was to have Tang Su help Shen Yi get acquainted with Wu Jie. They had given up on competing for the title of young mistress of the Lu Family, knowing they couldn’t outdo others.

So they decided to settle for the next best thing, becoming the young mistress of the Wu Family wouldn’t be so bad either.

Even if it meant benefiting from Tang Su’s connections, then so be it. It was still better than many others who wanted to leverage their family’s influence but couldn’t.

In Su Wanyi’s eyes, Su Ruoan placed great importance on sibling bonds. Even if there had been some unpleasantness between the sisters before, it was nothing serious.

Once it was past, Su Ruoan wouldn’t hold onto it.

But what she hadn’t expected was that after saying so much, Tang Su would fixate on a casual remark she’d made and question her about it.

With lies, inconsistencies between one’s words are quite normal.

"Auntie, one minute it’s Yifei, the next it’s Shen Yi. Which matter do you actually want to arrange for Wu Jie? If it’s to become an apprentice, then giving a gift is appropriate, but if it’s for matchmaking, it’s not proper for the woman to give a gift to the man on the first meeting, right?"

"..."

"So what you’re saying is, no gift? Just bring Shen Yi directly?" Su Wanyi’s eyes suddenly lit up; if that was the case, it would be quite good.

In the end, the goal was simply to get Tang Su to agree to bring Shen Yi along.

"Alright, then I’ll take her with me," Tang Su agreed.

Su Ruoan was quite surprised as she looked at Tang Su. How could she have agreed just like that?

"That’s wonderful, Tang Su, auntie really didn’t misjudge you. The gifts have already been bought, so do with them as you see fit. Shen Yi will stay over tonight, and tomorrow, she’ll go to the Wu Family with you."

"Okay."

"Sister, it’s so late, why don’t you stay too? It’s such a hassle to go back and forth." Su Ruoan didn’t know what Tang Su was thinking, but since she had agreed, she trusted Tang Su had her own reasons, so she didn’t say more.

"It’s fine, I’ll go back home to sleep. The old lady wants to eat the noodles I cook for her in the morning; she says the cook always gets the seasoning wrong in the soup base, either too salty or too bland. Everything else aside, it’s always the noodles that never seem to suit her taste."

Su Wanyi was very pleased that the old lady was so reliant on her as a daughter-in-law. Otherwise, her position as the Shen Family matriarch would have felt too idle.

And that would make her uneasy.

For so many years, the old lady had always supported her, and every time she wanted to eat something cooked by her own hands, she would always accommodate her.

"Alright then, I won’t keep you. Is there anything special we need to pay attention to with Shen Yi’s leg?"

"No need, it will heal in time."

"That’s good to hear."

The room where Shen Yi was to stay overnight had already been prepared by Su Wanyi during the day. When Shen Yi returned to the room, she also received a message from her mother, telling her to seize the opportunity.

Shen Yi replied, "Yes, I will."

Shen Yi felt that Tang Su was actually a pretty good person at this moment. If she could really help match her with Wu Jie and successfully arrange this, she could assure that she wouldn’t speak ill of Tang Su ever again.

Meanwhile, not long after Tang Su entered the room, Su Ruoan also came in.

Tang Su knew what her mother was worried about and was about to reassure her when Su Ruoan frowned, "Didn’t Shen Yi initially have a good impression of Lu Han? Why did she suddenly shift her target to Wu Jie?"

It was clear to Tang Su, "Like mother, like daughter. With an aunt so pragmatic, which of her three daughters isn’t?"

"If you know that, then why did you agree to your aunt?"

"If I didn’t agree, who knows what mischief she would get up to next. Right now, I just hope Grandma’s surgery goes smoothly, and then our family can quickly head back to Hua City with Lu Han."

"It’s just a visit to the Wu Family, and from what I know about Grandpa Wu, he quite likes lively gatherings. Sun Qing has already gone back to Hua City beforehand, otherwise, Grandpa Wu would definitely want to invite Sun Qing too."

"Let’s just consider it an extra person attending. As for Wu Jie, let’s say we’re putting him out a bit, but in the end, my aunt and her daughters will have to accept whatever the outcome, won’t they?"

"They can’t blame me if he doesn’t take a fancy to Shen Yi, can they?"

"I think, they’re certainly capable of such a thing. Anyway, let’s lay it all out tomorrow morning to avoid blame landing on your head later on," Su Ruoan warned her.

Regarding Su Wanyi, when Tang Su had escorted her out earlier, she also told her that Tang Su could only act as a go-between, and whatever the outcome, it wasn’t up to Tang Su to decide.

Su Wanyi was quite reasonable about this, saying that Tang Su was responsible only for making the connection. If the opportunity was given and Shen Yi couldn’t grasp it, it would simply mean that Shen Yi lacked the ability.

Su Ruoan recorded the conversation because, frankly, when her sister was unreasonable, she was truly so, and all blame might end up being placed on Tang Su.

As Tang Su’s mother, everything she did was naturally to support her daughter in the best way possible.

As long as they didn’t play dumb, this recording would never be exposed.

"Alright, I understand, thank you for your concern, Mother. You should go back to your room and rest, otherwise Father will be waiting too long," said Tang Su.

"You little rascal."

**

The next day.

Right on time, Lu Han came to pick up Tang Su and Tang Feng, and when he knew that Shen Yi was also going, he glanced at Tang Su, who gave him a ’stay calm’ look.

Lu Han then turned his gaze away and started to chat casually with Tang Feng.

Su Yu hadn’t come over; he said he would drive himself to the Wu Family. He had called Tang Feng in the morning so he could let Tang Su know.

Su Yu was quite the man about it, saying he hadn’t called Tang Su early in the morning because as a lady, it was right for her to sleep in for beauty’s rest.

Guess rough guys don’t need beauty sleep.

His words blew away Tang Feng’s morning grumpiness.

In light of Su Yu’s general consideration for Tang Su, he couldn’t be bothered to stay annoyed with him.

After breakfast, the four of them set off. Tang Su still brought over some fruits, purchasing two fruit baskets and handing one to Shen Yi, saying it was her gift.

Seeing Tang Su’s thoughtful planning, Shen Yi was grateful, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

The Wu Family’s estate was reached quickly – a sprawling, single-family villa in the wealthy district, exuding understated luxury.

When they arrived, Su Yu was already there.
