Chapter 615: 572 ’A family of three’ back view photo (2 more posts)

Tang Su had arranged to meet with Wu Jie and the designer in one of the storefront rooms. The designer was professional and had several design proposals, all of which Tang Su was quite satisfied with.

However, Tang Su wasn’t someone who had difficulty making decisions. Although each design plan looked especially beautiful, in the end, she chose the simple luxury style based on the professional opinions from Wu Jie and the designer.

The high-end clientele could go up to the third floor, the middle-class guests could go to the second floor, and the general customers would be on the first-floor lobby, each tier without disturbing the others.

"Mm, let’s go with this one, thanks for the hard work, Jian Jie," Tang Su said to the other person.

"Not at all, just call me Jian Jie," Jian Jie glanced at Wu Jie, smiling as she spoke to Tang Su.

"Alright, Jian Jie," Tang Su was very amenable. If the other person suggested a name to use, she would use it, "Then you shouldn’t call me Miss Tang or Mrs. Lu, just call me Tang Su."

"Okay, Tang Su."

The two women shared a smile.

Jian Jie was a workaholic. After seeing the woman Wu Jie had once been infatuated with, although Tang Su’s appearance wasn’t as sensational as being stunningly beautiful, she indeed could be considered pretty.

One glance was enough to make her memorable and hard to forget.

No wonder, of all the beautiful women Wu Jie met for blind dates, he didn’t fancy the prettiest one. His engagement in conversation with her was purely due to her profession.

"Alright, then I’ll take my leave first, there’s still a lot to prepare in the later stages."

"Sure, we won’t see you out then," Wu Jie nodded.

"Mm, no need, Tang Su, I’m leaving."

"Mm, Tongtong, say goodbye to Aunt Jian,"

"Aunt Jian, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Tongtong."

After inspecting the store with Wu Jie and Tongtong, Wu Jie asked Tongtong what he’d like for lunch. Tongtong’s shiny black eyes twinkled, "I want to eat pizza, is that okay?"

"Of course, it’s okay, today we’ll do whatever Tongtong wants."

Wu Jie also liked Tongtong a great deal. He had wanted to make him his godson, but it turned out he was too slow. Lin Jiaojiao had made her move first, becoming the little guy’s godmother, which naturally made Elder Tan Tongtong’s godfather.

If he insisted on becoming the little guy’s godfather now, it would seem rather inappropriate.

So, it was better to just be Uncle Wu Jie honestly.

"Yay, does Mommy like pizza?" Tongtong wasn’t selfish. From a young age, he had been considerate of those around him, and even more so now.

"I like it, let’s go."

"Mm."

The three of them had just stepped out of the storefront room when they ran into Shen Yi, who had found out about Wu Jie’s whereabouts.

Upon seeing Tang Su, Shen Yi’s face turned red in an instant. Shen Yi also felt quite awkward, feeling played. Someone had told her that Wu Jie was meeting with a designer, but she hadn’t expected that, besides the designer, Tang Su would be present as well.

Tang Su was already married, fully aware of Wu Jie’s feelings for her. Yet she had the audacity to come out and meet Wu Jie without avoiding suspicion and even brought a child along?

"Shen Yi, why are you here?" Tang Su took the initiative, not bothering to have Tongtong greet Shen Yi.

Some people needn’t be greeted with such warmth.

While having a child greet elders is polite, not all adults deserve a child’s respect.

"Oh, just passing by," Shen Yi said with an embarrassed laugh, not daring to look directly into Wu Jie’s bright eyes.

"Shen Yi, I’ve told you before, don’t follow me. Have you forgotten?" Wu Jie asked coldly.

"I... I’m not following you, don’t flatter yourself," Shen Yi stumbled, then rebutted Wu Jie weakly.

"Then do you know Jian Jie?" Tang Su asked, laughing as she tried to smooth things over. If she and her sister couldn’t agree on terms, Tang Su naturally didn’t think Shen Yi would come specifically to find her.

"Who is Jian Jie?"

"Heh..."

"Let’s go," Tang Su snorted lightly, locked the door, and called for Wu Jie.

"Mm."

As the three of them walked away, Shen Yi took several photos of them and sent them out.

Shen Yi was up to her little tricks, but Tang Su and the others never looked back.

Arriving at the pizza parlor, Tang Su received a photo forwarded by Lu Han of ’the family of three’ from the back. Lu Han was not jealous at all, "Who did you run into today?"

"Who else but Shen Yi?" Tang Su was also speechless. Could it be that Shen Yi was still up to these petty antics behind their backs?

Was she too bored or something?

"Is her family going through a tough time?" Lu Han continued to ask.

"Who knows, don’t bother with her."

"Mm, what are you three having for lunch?"

"Tongtong wanted pizza. We just got to the pizza place. Do you want me to order a pizza delivery for you?"

"Sure, thanks, dear. Just put it on Wu Jie’s tab."

"...Oh."

Where was the courage in Tang Su to let Wu Jie spend like that, but after they had ordered, Wu Jie would not let her pay either.

Wu Jie insisted on treating Tongtong, so it was hard for Tang Su to press the issue further.

The one she ordered for Lu Han, she paid for herself.

The pizza shop had a children’s playground, and after eating pizza, Tongtong’s eyes lingered on that place. He never had the chance to play there when he was younger, but now that he had grown up, he found himself somewhat envious.

Additionally, he was quite thin and small, so his height and weight did not match his actual age.

After all, Tongtong still had a child’s heart. He kind of wanted to play, but feared that others would not play with him.

During past New Year’s, when his parents took him there, other children had shunned him, saying he had a serious smell, and then those kids went crying to their parents, causing his whole family to be driven away by everyone present.

He didn’t want to expose Tang Su to these unpleasant experiences.

However, Tang Su was always paying attention to him, "Tongtong, go play. Come back to eat when you’re tired. How about letting Sister Longliu go with you, alright?"

Tongtong called her ’mom’ because they had gone through the adoption procedures, so naturally, Tongtong was her and Lu Han’s adopted son, hence it was right for him to call them mom and dad.

Longliu was very young, and calling her ’sister’ was quite appropriate—Tang Su did not intend to take advantage of Longliu.

"No need, I don’t want to go," Tongtong shook his head in refusal.

"How could you not want to go? Then, shall Mom go with you?" Tang Su stood up, took Tongtong’s hand, and tried to get him to interact with the outside world.

Tongtong had been lacking in this respect in the past due to illness. Since they had a mother-son fate, Tang Su intended to make up for these deficiencies.

"Mom, I really don’t want to go." Tongtong withdrew his hand, truly frightened.

Tang Su noticed the unease and worry at the bottom of Tongtong’s eyes and knew she couldn’t force him at the moment. She sat back down next to him, coaxed him gently, and eventually opened up his heart.

"Give it a try, the slide is really fun, especially when there are a lot of people. Plus, Grandpa and Grandma are also looking for a school for you. Once you’re mostly recovered from your illness, you’ll still have to go to school."

"Dad said that I could have one-on-one tutoring at home without having to go to school," Tongtong replied.

"Alright then, but when you grow up, you’ll have to interact with many people, right? You can start trying now, okay?"

"...Okay."

Eventually, under Tang Su’s encouraging and soothing gaze, Tongtong finally nodded in agreement.
