Chapter 413: 382 This girl, she really is a silly girl (2 more updates)

Lu Han and Tang Su had no idea about Lu Maoyan’s train of thought, but Bai Wei knew.

Bai Wei rolled her eyes at the old man, really, he was getting on in years, taking so long to remember.

However, knowing her husband was thinking about another woman for such a long time didn’t exactly put her in a good mood.

He should be very thankful to the Tang family of four, grateful that Tang Su was willing to get a marriage certificate with their son, appreciative that the Tang family accepted their betrothal gifts, and the wedding was still underway, making her feel exceptionally pleased.

Otherwise, tonight, he might have had to spend the night on the streets.

"Did you remember? Then tell me, who is she? Don’t tell me she is the "white moonlight" you’ve kept in your heart for so many years."

Of course, Bai Wei knew she was not; after all, if she truly was the "white moonlight," the old man’s reaction wouldn’t be like this, nor his reflex arc so long.

She simply wanted to tease him, to watch his face change abruptly.

The family doctor also said that the elderly, like children, should be playfully teased sometimes. Enriched facial expressions can help prevent facial paralysis.

"Nonsense," Lu Maoyan first feigned scolding his charming wife, then turned to Tang Su, "Tang Su, is your godmother from Harbor City?"

Tang Su shook her head, "I don’t know, but she did visit Harbor City recently on a family trip."

"That’s it, let me tell you, your godmother is no ordinary person. Her grandfather was once the wealthiest man of Harbor City, Xie Chaoyan." Xie Chaoyan had helped him in the past, and later, they had even collaborated.

It was at Xie Chaoyan’s funeral that he saw Zhao Xinlan at a glance.

In his youth, he had a photographic memory. Now that he’s older, with his focus shifted to his wife and children, he didn’t pay much attention to others.

Some people, he had gradually forgotten.

"Xie Chaoyan’s granddaughter? Really? With Xie Chaoyan’s wealth, even if he had left no will, and his descendants divided it among themselves, she wouldn’t need to rely on a man to live, right?"

"That, I don’t know. She looks very much like her grandfather; people say granddaughters usually resemble their grandmothers, but in her eyes and brows, she is very similar to Xie Chaoyan. When she was younger, it wasn’t so noticeable, but as she’s gotten older, her demeanor and features are even more like his."

"Otherwise, I wouldn’t have found her familiar."

"To you, all beautiful women seem familiar," Bai Wei teased.

"Nonsense again. In this lifetime, the only beauty in my eyes is you," he retorted earnestly.

"Flatterer," Bai Wei’s face reddened. This old man was truly shameless, daring to tease her in front of Tang Su. Wasn’t he afraid of losing face as a grandfather in front of his future daughter-in-law?

"I speak only the truth," Lu Maoyan repeated solemnly.

"..."

Tang Su was still in shock from the revelation that Xie Chaoyan from Harbor City was her godmother’s grandfather. Although he was the former wealthiest man, it was still hard for her to believe.

She actually had a wealthy third-generation friend who kept silent about it.

No wonder, when she and her brother wanted something as kids, her godmother could always buy it for them; she had always thought her godmother spent Jiang Tao’s money.

No wonder as well that after divorcing Jiang Tao, her godmother seemed so unfazed.

As for the Jiang family, if one day they found out her godmother was Xie Chaoyan’s granddaughter, she wondered if Jiang Tao would turn green with regret?

And then there was Jiang Qimeng, who had always looked down on their family; knowing her godmother was someone their Jiang surname couldn’t hope to climb up to, she would probably be dumbfounded.

She felt her godmother was the kind of low-key magnate, holding a script for a glamorous leading lady, but never showing off.

For so many years, steadfastly at the Jiang Family, diligently fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of Mrs. Jiang, only to end up without a good outcome.

Jiang Tao missed out on such a treasure of a wife.

Good, really good, heaven has eyes.

For people like those in the Jiang Family, being looked down upon and stepped on by others ignited their determination to strive upward, which in itself should be a good thing.

But their character is low, and even if their efforts to ascend bring them some fame and fortune, alas, with the family’s problematic values and concerning characters, this led to their inability to remain afloat in the arena of wealth and prestige for long.

People with deep roots won’t be dazzled by the wealth and honor before their eyes; the arena of wealth is fit only for such people to truly engage with.

Lu Han didn’t want to watch his parents show off their love; he and Tang Su were not single dogs, not subjected to their flaunting.

As for whether Zhao Xinlan was the wealthiest afterward, he wasn’t so concerned about that; anyway, whether she was or wasn’t, all he knew was that she was Tang Su’s godmother, and Tang Su loved her.

Thus, he would absolutely not allow Zhao Xinlan to suffer or be wronged.

After setting a good time to register their marriage, Tang Su also indulged herself in a good chunk of durian, eating until her stomach was bursting, after which Lu Han drove her away.

When they left, Bai Dingkai and Bai Simen were still not out of Patriarch Bai’s room.

**

Inside the room, Patriarch Bai’s face was stern, leaving Bai Dingkai and Bai Simen uncertain what was going on with the old man.

Wasn’t today supposed to be a happy and joyful day?

After a long silence, seeing that neither of them took the initiative to confess, Patriarch Bai had no choice but to ask, "Is there something big you two are hiding from me?"

"Not at all, Grandpa," Bai Dingkai jovially denied.

Hmph, not at all? Bai Dingkai, think it over carefully before you answer. Otherwise, I’m telling you, there will be no place for you in the Bai Family Genealogy. Don’t blame your grandfather for being heartless then.

Patriarch Bai was serious, his sternness now completely different from the kindness he showed towards Tang Su and Lu Han just moments before.

However, his severity was solely directed at Bai Dingkai, and when he looked at Bai Simen, a hint of pity, helplessness, and shame flickered across his eyes.

It was the shame of not having educated his descendants well.

"Is it... that serious? Grandpa, I’ve been really well-behaved lately, working hard, focusing on making money. Now I’m even acting in a drama with Simen, just as you said, she’s my sister, and you told me to take good care of her, right?"

He had even given up his own interests for Bai Simen’s sake, that should be taking good care of her, right?

"You’ve been well-behaved lately? So, the old debts from before can be neglected, is that it?" Patriarch Bai came close to getting a heart attack from frustration with his grandson.

Must he squeeze the truth out of them bit by bit like toothpaste?

Couldn’t these two honestly confess everything?

And Bai Simen, she’s even changed her surname to Bai, she’s under his protection. If she’s wronged or suffers, why doesn’t she come to her grandfather to stand up for her?

This girl, really is a silly one.

"Old debts? Grandpa, what old debts? Don’t play tricks on me," Bai Dingkai had no clue that the affair between him and Bai Simen had already come to Patriarch Bai’s knowledge.

"Bai Dingkai, Grandpa will ask you one last time, are you unwilling to confess on your own? Let me remind you then, it’s about you and Menmen."
