Chapter 525: 488 Be Yourself (2 updates)

"It seems I’ve let you be wronged. Your grandma can’t get angry, but your aunt is in good health, so I’ll have a proper talk with her."

"There’s no need. We’ll leave after dinner. Lu Han is very capable; he won’t let the two of us be wronged."

"Hmm, with him by your side, I’m also at ease. However, you also need to learn not to tolerate everything. Grandma’s health can’t withstand any agitation or anger, but you can learn some techniques of talking back from Lu Han, understand?"

"Hmm, I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Mother."

"Good, hanging up now."

"Okay."

After Tang Su ended the call, Shen Yi came over, "Did your third aunt reprimand you?"

"Heh, which of your ears heard me getting scolded?" Tang Su sneered coldly.

"What’s with that attitude? I kindly brought you some nuts, and I only asked because I care about you, but look at you."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I can’t accept it. Besides, I only eat nut kernels now. After all, as the young mistress of the Lu Family, I find shelling nuts a waste of time."

Previously, Tang Su never thought about showing off in front of her cousins, but since they could behave this way, why should she be considerate of them?

"Getting married really changed you, didn’t it?"

"Yes, sorry, but my mother-in-law told me that in Beijing, I can walk with my head held high, so I shouldn’t be wronged."

"..."

The daughter-in-law of the Lu Family indeed had that kind of confidence.

Yet, all these years, she had always looked down on Tang Su with a princess-like attitude. Now, to stoop down before her felt unbearable, even after so much time.

But Tang Su, spoiled by someone’s affection, seemed to adapt quite quickly.

"Look at what you’re saying. As the young mistress of the Lu Family, naturally, no one dares to wrong you. Tang Su, what are your plans next? I’ll be free to do as I please from tomorrow. Can you set up a meeting with Wu Jie for me, please?"

"Shen Yi, I’ve told you, give up on Wu Jie while you can. It’s not that I won’t arrange a meeting for you, but if he really took a liking to you, then he and I wouldn’t even be friends anymore."

"Tang Su, what do you mean by that?" Shen Yi’s face immediately darkened.

"I mean it literally, you’re not good enough for Wu Jie. Can’t you understand?" Tang Su vented all the frustration from the dinner table onto Shen Yi.

Being direct as a person felt truly refreshing.

No matter what others thought or how they looked, sometimes it was really refreshing. Tang Su felt as if all the meridians in her body were instantly unblocked.

Wu Jie isn’t someone just anyone can have designs on.

If there were single sisters in the Tang Family, she might be willing to play matchmaker, but the Su Family? Forget it.

Besides, they were all aware of why Shen Yi had her sights set on Wu Jie.

Such a materialistic woman shouldn’t go and bring disaster to the Wu Family. Grandpa Wu and Wu Jie had been quite kind to her. One absolutely must not repay kindness with ingratitude.

With a smack, nearby, the teapot in Su Wanyi’s hand suddenly fell onto the stone steps.

Hearing Old Madam Su’s words, Su Wanyi intended to come over and properly apologize to Tang Su.

The reason she offered to bring Tang Su tea wasn’t just because she obeyed Old Madam Su but also because when she went to the restroom earlier, she had received a message from Shen Ao and a call from her mother-in-law.

Shen Ao’s project had run into a financing snag, and the project funds had been swept away by the mistress he kept on the side in collusion with other men.

Immediately, Su Wanyi felt a darkness before her eyes. She had made preparations for this and even thought about letting Shen Ao fend for himself, but that was on the condition that she had transferred enough money beforehand.

If Shen Ao’s project ran into trouble now, the private savings in her account might be confiscated.

No, Shen Ao did something despicable, she definitely wouldn’t allow Shen Ao to still use her money to cover his losses.

Besides, who knows if this was just a trick that Shen Ao and some other woman from outside made up together to deceive her?

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the significant event of her returning to her maternal home, Shen Ao didn’t come and instead went to meet his mistress; for her, if Shen Ao was swindled by the mistress, it was his own fault.

What did it have to do with her?

But what she wouldn’t allow was for the mistress to touch her money.

After exiting the restroom, Su Wanyi still pretended as if nothing had happened. After struggling for a while, Su Wanyi decided to serve tea to Tang Su.

On one hand, Shen Yifei had already gone to Lu Han to ask for a position in the Lu Group.

On the other hand, Shen Yi was still asking Tang Su to help her connect with Wu Jie. In fact, the whole family was asking Tang Su for favors, they really shouldn’t still be so condescending towards her.

But previously, they had Shen Ao to back them up.

Plus, who doesn’t need a bit of time to adjust from high and mighty to humbly begging, right?

"Mom—" Shen Yi called out to Su Wanyi, sounding wronged.

Su Wanyi was really angry. As a mother, she could endure being wronged, but she couldn’t stand to see her own children being treated this way.

It was the day she had come back to her maternal home, and she didn’t even know the situation with Shen Xuan and Shen Yun—they weren’t able to come back either. Now, only a pair of her children were with her at the Su Family’s home.

And yet Shen Yi had to be humiliated by Tang Su?

Just because she married into a good family, she was being so cocky?

"Apologize."

"Mom?" Shen Yi couldn’t believe what she was hearing, thinking Su Wanyi wanted her to apologize to Tang Su.

"Tang Su, apologize to my daughter."

"Why should I, Auntie? I was just telling the truth. What, can’t even handle a little truth now? By raising your daughter to be so naïve and sweet, aren’t you afraid that she’ll suffer after getting married?"

"Did your mom just call you and not scold you, but instead teach you to speak to me this way, is that it?" Su Wanyi couldn’t believe it.

"My mom is reasonable. She never listens to just one side of the story. After hearing the whole process from me, she said there are some things I shouldn’t tolerate."

Su Wanyi: "..."

She really was the well-taught daughter of Old Madam Su the Third.

Among the five siblings, she was the eldest of the Su Family. Old Madam Su the Third was always the most decisive one and the only one who dared to contradict her, the eldest sister.

Now, was it her daughter’s turn?

"Humph, your mom taught you really well, talking back to your elders like that. That’s not the Su Family’s way, you’re too disrespectful, completely disregarding your superiors, aren’t you? I’m your aunt, and today, I’m going to properly teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother."

Having said that, Su Wanyi raised her arm, ready to slap Tang Su.

Tang Su wasn’t foolish enough to just stand there and get hit.

Her aunt’s hand was stopped mid-air by Tang Su, who was even taller.

"You dare to fight back?" Su Wanyi said, in disbelief.

"Ha, Auntie, you should feel lucky that you’re my mom’s sister, and that’s the only reason I call you ’auntie.’ If it weren’t for that relation, who do you think you’d be to me?"

"From a young age, I haven’t taken a single thing from you, nor have you provided for me, you haven’t changed my diapers, nor have you ever bathed me once. My schooling and tuition were paid for by my parents. When it comes to being reprimanded or punished, I only acknowledge my parents. Even if my granny was here, she wouldn’t have the right to hit or scold me on a whim."

"Let alone
