Chapter 409: 378 Lu Family Proposes Marriage (2nd Update)

Two days later, Tang Su welcomed a beautiful day.

This day was a Saturday, and Lu Han’s future in-laws, accompanied by Patriarch Bai, came to Hua City to formally propose marriage on Lu Han’s behalf. And moreover, there was more than one reason for celebration.

Just the day before, on Friday, Jiang Tao, whether he had a change of heart or for some other reason, surprisingly agreed to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Zhao Xinlan to sign the divorce papers.

And he didn’t make it difficult for Zhao Xinlan at all.

Jiang Tao took the initiative to offer compensation, but Zhao Xinlan didn’t care about the money at all, and just turned around and left.

No matter how Zhao Xinlan managed it, Tang Su felt happy for her godmother to be able to get rid of Jiang Tao.

Jiang Shanshan also voluntarily resigned from Huanan Hospital, so from now on, there would no longer be the annoying gum-like presence of Jiang Shanshan around Lu Han.

With Jiang Shanshan’s resignation, she believed that the rumors Jiang Shanshan had intentionally spread about their hospital and Lu Han would naturally fall apart without attack.

For Tang Su, there was another piece of good news, the film crew of "First Love" was proceeding smoothly with the filming. The school portion, waiting for Qi Jiu to return to finish his part, would soon come to an end, which meant that in at most ten days, Tang Su could return to the pastimes of running her bookstore and leading a fulfilling life every day.

However, by that time, it would also be almost Chinese New Year, and Tang Su’s bookstore would be closed for the holiday. It was still uncertain whether the coffee shop would close or not, but based on past experience, the coffee shop’s business was quite good during the New Year’s period.

There was a significant influx of customers.

Anyway, they would see when the time came.

Right now, the most important thing for her and her family, as hosts, was to take good care of Lu Han’s parents and grandfather.

At ten in the morning, Bai Wei, Lu Maoyan, and Patriarch Bai arrived, followed by two housekeepers carrying their luggage.

Lu Maoyan and Patriarch Bai were elderly and needed someone to take care of them, so having housekeepers was essential for the trip.

Patriarch Bai was of such an age that he almost couldn’t board the plane; fortunately, a doctor was willing to provide a health certificate, and with the housekeepers also holding nursing certificates, they were allowed on the plane.

In fact, they could have taken the high-speed train, but the Patriarch was eager and insisted on flying.

Bai Wei and Lu Maoyan were dutiful children, so naturally, they complied with the Patriarch’s wish to fly.

All four members of the Tang Family came to the airport to pick them up, along with Zhao Xinlan and Su Yangming.

Tang Su’s godmother and uncle were both close relatives of Tang Su.

It was the first time Bai Wei and Lu Maoyan were meeting Zhao Xinlan. When Tang Su introduced her as their godmother, Bai Wei warmly shook hands with Zhao Xinlan.

Lu Maoyan stared at Zhao Xinlan for a while before slowly withdrawing his gaze.

This woman looked somewhat familiar.

However, the aged Lu Maoyan couldn’t recall at that moment.

Bai Wei was a woman, and no matter her age, she was still a woman.

Being a woman, she was naturally sensitive.

Especially towards a woman who could catch her husband’s eye, Bai Wei couldn’t help but take another look at Zhao Xinlan.

Zhao Xinlan indeed looked very attractive, full of feminine charm.

Alluring and sensuous, yet intelligent.

"The car is over there, the hotel is already arranged by Old Tang, shall we stay at the hotel for convenience?" Su Ruoan said to the three of them.

"No need, let Doctor Tang cancel the hotel reservation. The accommodation has been arranged on our end; thank you all for going through so much trouble." Although it wasn’t necessary, Bai Wei still felt grateful for Su Ruoan and Tang Shengyi’s thoughtful arrangements.

"You’re welcome. So, if not the hotel, where will you be staying?"

"The Patriarch was in a hurry and has already asked someone to buy a house here, the kind you can move into with just a suitcase. I don’t know where exactly right now, but there’s no rush. If we can’t stay there, we’ll just stay at the hotel; it’s also convenient."

Bai Wei really didn’t know where the purchased house was.

In the past, when she was transiting through Hua City with Lu Han, they always rented houses, which was for the convenience of them being able to move at any time.

So, even with money, they don’t buy houses.

"Alright, let’s go have a meal first, and then visit the house after we eat,"

"Sure, the fact that we’re being picked up by you today, didn’t you both have to ask for leave again? That’s really embarrassing."

"That’s all right, no need to feel embarrassed."

The hotel Su Ruoan and Tang Shengyi picked was the best holiday resort center in Hua City, located in the downtown area, convenient for going out and finding food.

It was a bit expensive, but the couple could afford it for now.

After arriving at the hotel, Tang Shengyi had booked the largest private room.

The menu was also chosen at the time of booking the private room, all the hotel’s signature dishes, but the main purpose today wasn’t to eat.

Once the dishes were served, as expected, eating was not the focus for everyone.

Bai Wei was especially anxious; while the hotel staff were still serving dishes, she took out the Lu Family’s heirloom, an emerald bracelet that was meant for the daughter-in-law of the Lu Family.

It wasn’t worn often but kept for collection, and then passed down from generation to generation.

"Tang Su, this is something left behind by Lu Han’s grandma, meant for the daughter-in-law of the Lu Family. It has been in my hands up until now, and today, I pass it on to you."

"This is too valuable, Auntie," Tang Su dared not accept it.

She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to take care of it and that if it ever broke or got lost, she would feel incredibly guilty; the pressure was a bit much.

"If Mom gives it to you, you take it. Whatever we give today, we accept it with open arms," Lu Han encouraged Tang Su.

"Lu Han is right. If you refuse the first thing we give, how are we supposed to give the rest?" Bai Wei pushed the item towards Tang Su.

"Thank you, Auntie," Tang Su accepted, and carefully placed it in her backpack.

"No need to thank me." Bai Wei was very happy that the item that had passed to her was finally being passed on.

Now she could meet the ancestors of the Lu Family with a clear conscience.

The gifts Bai Wei and Lu Maoyan had prepared were indeed very generous, just the bride price alone Bai Wei said she wanted to give was eleven million and one, which Lu Han stopped.

The reason was that giving so much would put too much pressure on the Tang Family.

Besides, if Bai Wei really wanted to give a lot of pocket money to her daughter-in-law, her son wouldn’t stop her, but it couldn’t be under the guise of a bride price.

Lu Han didn’t want Tang Su’s parents to feel too much pressure, after all, they had to provide a wedding dowry in return.

If they had to marry off a daughter and it drained the Tang Family’s resources, what would Tang Feng do when it was his turn to get married?

Being a son-in-law to the Tang Family, he naturally had to consider their situation.

If the Tang Family couldn’t match the dowry, he had no objections even if his parents emptied their savings to help him marry.

"Mr. Tang, Mrs. Tang, Weiwei and I have discussed it, and we’d like to talk to you about the specific amount for the bride price. How about one million and one?"

"That’s too much, Father Lu Han. Nowadays, young people advocate for no bride price. We understand that your family tradition wouldn’t allow for a bride price of zero, but this amount is really too much and not appropriate,"

At this moment, as the head of the family, Tang Shengyi rejected Lu Maoyan’s suggestion.

"How about this, Mr. Tang, we’ll listen to you. Whatever amount you say for the bride price, that will be it. The rest is all for Tang Su’s personal spending money," Bai Wei made the final decision.

Tang Su: "..."

Spending money?

Millions?

Oh my—
