Chapter 526: 489 Trouble stirs again, the old lady favors Tang Su (1st update)

As she finished speaking, Tang Su flung her hand to the side, sending Su Wanyi staggering away from her.

Everyone was shocked by Tang Su’s presence and the words she had just spoken.

Old Madam Su realized that Tang Su was not only addressing Su Wanyi but also directing her message at her.

Previously, Old Madam Su had tried to break up her relationship with Lu Han under the pretext of illness. Although it seemed like the matter had passed, in reality, Tang Su had never forgotten it.

Now, she finally had the chance to give her a piece of her mind.

Old Madam Su’s complexion turned ugly. Indeed, the saying was true: the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

The children she and Old Master Su had, including Su Ruoan who seemed obedient, were actually the most independent-minded.

Now, Tang Su was the same.

"Mom, listen to her spouting such nonsense! So now that she’s married up, she’s become so arrogant that she looks down on everyone, right?" Su Wanyi glared at Tang Su, unable to believe that Tang Su would so brazenly insult her in front of everyone.

She was the eldest in the Su family’s generation, and her younger brothers and sisters had always listened to her since childhood.

Even Tang Su’s parents had never dared to speak to her like this. Of course, Tang Su’s father was different—he was also a difficult man to deal with.

Completely lacking in manners.

"Auntie, even if I am arrogant, it’s not because I married up, but because I am reasoning with you. Oh, and let’s set the record straight today in front of everyone—regarding Shen Yi and Wu Jie’s situation, I can’t help, because I think they’re not suited for each other. Of course, Auntie, if you can manage to secure a good match for your daughter, I would be more than happy to offer my congratulations,"

"But as it stands, I am sorry that I simply can’t assist you."

"Tang Su, you really are going too far." Su Wanyi’s complexion turned darker than soy sauce.

Yet she was helpless against Tang Su. Now that Tang Su had grown up, hitting her was not as easy as it had been in their childhood.

Moreover, Tang Su had completely blocked Shen Yi’s path towards Wu Jie.

She had spoken too quickly earlier and had forgotten about Wu Jie’s involvement, which still required Tang Su’s help.

Alas, it was too late for regrets.

If they won’t ask, so be it. There are plenty of wealthy people in society; it’s not as if Lu Han and Wu Jie are the only options.

She could still find someone even better for Shen Yi.

Did they really think they relied on her that much?

"Aunt, Tang Su is just speaking the truth. If she says she can’t help Shen Yi tie the knot with Wu Jie, how is she overstepping? Is it that if she can’t do it, but still promises you she can, that would be considered reasonable?"

"You elders always talk about family when it suits you, but what do you actually do? When you need help from Uncle, you remember you’re a family. When you don’t, did any of you think about helping them out? Oh, except for my little uncle."

"..."

When Su Yu stepped forward to speak up for Tang Su, from Old Madam Su down to various cousins of Tang Su, no one made a sound.

It was unclear if they were surprised that Su Yu was speaking out for Tang Su, or if they were startled by something else.

As the only male in the Su family to carry the Su surname, Su Yu naturally held a special place in Old Madam Su’s heart.

In the past, when the Su family gathered, Su Yu was a man of few words. He would not speak, nor would he join the gossip about whether Tang Su and her brother, Tang Feng, would eventually run in the same circles as the rest.

Everyone got it wrong, thinking either Su Yu just didn’t care, or he agreed with their point of view. They believed that Tang Su and her brother, Tang Feng, would belong to a different world from the rest of them.

But now, it seemed that they might have misunderstood Su Yu all along.

"No, Su Yu, just because Wu Jie took you as his apprentice, you have to fawn over Tang Su like this?" Shen Yifei couldn’t bear to see his mother and sister humiliated by these two people, so he lashed out at Su Yu.

"You wouldn’t know better, one might think that Wu Jie is Tang Su’s husband."

That comment, had it not been made, would have been better. By saying it, he had directly offended Lu Han.

Lu Han’s gaze sharply fell on the talkative Shen Yifei. It was a cold look that, despite the warmth of the heating in the room, made Shen Yifei feel a chill of trepidation.

He had always thought that Lu Han was a refined person. Even though there were many rumors about him in Beijing, the fact that he had married a woman like Tang Su made him think that the rumors about Lu Han were probably just that, rumors.

After all, in his understanding, a man like Lu Han ought to like a bold and beautiful big woman, and not a small woman suited for domestic life like Tang Su.

Yes, Tang Su looked alright, but she had a cute style, the type of fragile woman. If those rumors about Lu Han were true, he should be with a woman whose presence is as strong as his own.

So, Shen Yifei never really believed those rumors.

After all, Lu Han becoming his cousin-in-law meant that he was just an ordinary man, as ordinary as one could get.

The only thing that made him slightly extraordinary was that he was better at being born into the right circumstances than anyone else.

That’s all.

But now, he felt...

"Shen Yifei, if you don’t know how to speak, you could keep your mouth shut, understand?" Lu Han’s voice was very cold, showing no regard for Su Wanyi as he reprimanded Shen Yifei right there.

"No, Lu Han, he’s my son, who are you to scold him?" Su Wanyi, defending her son, was already upset and looking for a vent for her anger—Lu Han presented her with the perfect opportunity.

After all, didn’t the Lu Family always pride themselves on their manners?

A classy person shouldn’t act like the wild and unruly Tang Su, talking back to her elders, right?

"You’re teaching me how to conduct myself?" Shen Yifei scoffed, displaying a complete disregard for Lu Han.

Together, mother and son sang in tune, intending to verbally overpower Lu Han.

"I only teach humans," Lu Han retorted casually, yet pointedly.

Both mother and son were not fools and understood that Lu Han was insinuating that Shen Yifei was not human.

"Lu! Are you insulting me? Who do you think you are? Today’s gathering is for the Su Family, and you, an outsider, dare to speak out of turn. Is this the upbringing of the Lu Family?" Shen Yifei, realizing that Lu Han was insulting him by inferring he wasn’t human, became enraged.

"Outsider? Shen Yifei, you don’t bear the Su surname either, do you?" Tang Su, unable to take it any longer, defended Lu Han.

"Tang Su, can’t you tell what’s going on, or what?" Shen Yifei retorted viciously against Tang Su.

"Enough! Have you caused enough trouble? Su Wanyi, you’re less and less like the eldest of the Su Family. Have you gone mad? What kind of son have you raised? Tang Su is his sister. Is this how a brother should talk to his sister?"

"Also, Shen Yifei, Lu Han is Tang Su’s husband. They’re legally married, so he’s your brother-in-law, a member of our old Su Family. Do you understand?"

"I’m not dead yet in this Su household."

Old Madam Su finally spoke up, and this time, she clearly took Tang Su’s side.

Ever since her youth, Old Madam Su had been shrewd, knowing how to discern the way the wind blew. She sided with whoever was beneficial to the Su Family.

Nowadays, no matter how one looked at it, Su Ruoan’s family seemed more beneficial to the Su Family than Su Wanyi’s family. She had already advised Su Wanyi earnestly on several occasions.

However, since Su Wanyi never learnt, Old Madam Su felt mentally exhausted.
