140: Chapter 140 Su Wantang Stands Firm Against Her Father, Tang Luochuan Prepares for a New Home

Jiaotong University.

Shen Muyan and Su Wantang sat on the floor of the dance studio, back to back.

"Wantang, your uncle and aunt are coming tomorrow. I'm so nervous!" Shen Muyan had not yet met Zhu Xiumei and Tang Hai, and she felt a little excited.

Su Wantang held her phone, opened her father's WeChat, and replied, "My uncle and aunt are very nice people. It'll be fine."

"But... aren't there a lot of rules in big families?" In Shen Muyan's mind, she still pictured a stern 'CEO' father-in-law and a 'noble lady' mother-in-law blooming with wealth.

Just thinking about that image made her feel uneasy.

How to sit, whether one had to chew slowly while eating, and not being allowed to talk.

And having to serve tea.

"Your family and Jiang Jinyue's family are both wealthy, so you naturally don't think much of it, but I've never experienced that kind of family environment. I... I'm still scared."

Su Wantang sent a message to her father: [My boyfriend's parents are coming to Modu tomorrow. Do you want to meet them? Have a meal together?]

After sending the message, Su Wantang thought about what Shen Muyan had said.

"Never experienced that kind of family?" She instantly thought of the little broken bed in the west wing room and the cement floor.

And the scene of her and Jiang Jinyue fighting over the 'bed against the wall'.

"That's true~~"

Shen Muyan twisted the corner of her shirt, the plot of a short drama already flashing before her eyes.

If she said one wrong word, the head nanny would come over and slap her, scolding, "How dare you speak to the Madam like that??"

Thinking of this, she wanted to laugh herself: "It can't be that ruthless, right~~"

"Ruthless what?" Su Wantang replied nonchalantly, looking at the message from her father on her phone: [Wantang, I met a nice young man today. I'll ask around, do you want to meet him? Also, Dad is a bit tight on cash lately, so I sold a property, but I'll be able to buy you another one soon. Don't tell your mom...]

Seeing this message, Su Wantang frowned deeply. Her dad was short on money and sold a house??

And he wanted to set her up with someone?

Su Wantang: [It was bought with your money anyway, so sell it if you want! Don't invest blindly; be careful not to lose your capital! Don't introduce any partners to me, I have a boyfriend.]

Su Bingqiang: [Hmm~~ I know! It's too early for both sets of parents to meet now. Where is your boyfriend from? What are his conditions?]

Su Wantang: [Do conditions matter?]

Su Bingqiang: [I'm just asking.]

Su Wantang: [He's from Quanshui City, a freshman at Jiaotong University, from the countryside! I just like...]

After saying this, Su Wantang turned off her phone and ignored her father.

Her behavior was a bit rebellious; wasn't her father asking about the other person's family background just to make a comparison?

This made her feel very uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, after seeing his daughter's message, Su Bingqiang's heart sank.

"A child from the countryside in a second-tier city?" This condition made Su Bingqiang very dissatisfied, and he took his phone and went to find his wife.

"Wife, take a look at the boyfriend your daughter found."

Li Haixia was still playing on her phone on the side, and hearing her husband's words, she was very impatient: "I told you not to meddle! Why are you so troublesome?"

Su Bingqiang still held the phone up to her face: "Look at it first."

Li Haixia stared at the other person's screen, and after a few seconds, she fell silent: "Did this child get swindled?"

"I knew it!", Su Bingqiang immediately put on an 'I was right' expression: "What kind of conditions does our Wantang have? Not to mention whether we have money, just look at her appearance and figure. Marry a poor country boy? Let her suffer with him? Or let that man eat our food and drink our drinks?"

Su Bingqiang pondered for a moment and added: "I think this kid might even be living off our daughter. He probably took a lot of the money given to Wantang! This silly girl..."

"Don't talk nonsense, Wantang isn't that stupid."

"Can I not know my own daughter?"

"At a time like this, she becomes 'my' daughter? You have nothing to do with it now."

"That's not what I meant... No... I have to meet this kid! Tomorrow is definitely not going to work. It's not time to talk about marriage yet, so I won't meet his parents for now! Wait a few days, and have him come to our house for a meal."

Su Bingqiang made up his mind; if the other person was really a gigolo living off a woman, then even if it meant falling out with his daughter, he had to stop the two of them from being together.

After Tang Luochuan got the keys to the new house, he contacted the furniture company from before directly.

He ordered another batch of furniture, waiting to give his parents a surprise when they arrived tomorrow.

He originally thought about buying a bigger one, but after thinking about it, he decided to let them accept it slowly.

Over 600 square meters was already big enough.

Just after finishing the arrangements, his phone rang; it was 'female representative' Shen Muyan calling.

"What's up? Senior!"

"What do you mean 'what's up'? Where are you? Aren't you coming to pick us up? Luochuan, you're late."

"Luochuan? What kind of dog name is that."

"Yes, it is a dog name..."

"...", Tang Luochuan was speechless; he had cursed himself: "Alright, wait ten minutes for me, I'll drive over."

"Hurry up! Hurry up! We're all hungry...", Shen Muyan was endless with her coquettishness now, enjoying the sweet, sticky feeling of being with her boyfriend.

Tang Luochuan hung up the phone and looked at the furniture in the room; everything was basically arranged properly.

He immediately went downstairs, got in his car, and headed to the school.

Saying 10 minutes was just a concept; 20 minutes later, Tang Luochuan arrived at the school.

The sky was gray and gloomy, as if it were about to rain.

Three girls were standing at the school gate, each with a starch sausage, blowing on it while eating.

"Hoo hoo hoo~~ So hot." Jiang Jinyue blew a few times, stuck out her little tongue, and as soon as the tip of her tongue touched the grilled sausage, she retracted it due to the heat.

"It was just deep-fried! It's definitely hot. If you wave it around like this, it'll cool down."

As Shen Muyan said this, she waved the bamboo skewer holding the grilled sausage vigorously. The sausage swept through the cool air, and indeed, the cooling effect was better.

It's just that... this sausage didn't seem to be skewered securely enough, and on the last wave, the girl used a bit too much force.

The grilled sausage flew off the bamboo skewer and landed right by Tang Luochuan's feet. The boy's foot was already raised, and he couldn't stop it at that moment. After his right foot landed, the sausage was crushed to a pulp.

"Ah~~~" Shen Muyan's aggrieved voice came.

Tang Luochuan only felt the sole of his foot was sticky.

"Uh... what the heck?"

"Tang Luochuan, you owe me a grilled sausage."

"I can sleep with you... just buy another one, it's just a broken grilled sausage."

Tang Luochuan grumbled, not caring at all. Shen Muyan stopped talking and looked at him with an aggrieved expression.

Her little mouth was pursed so high that you could hang ten pounds of noodles on it.

"Alright, alright, alright! I'll buy you one...", the boy patted her head dotingly and walked to the stall, saying to the owner, "Boss, give me two."

Shen Muyan said softly, "I only need one."

Tang Luochuan: "I'm not eating? Am I not human..."
