70: Chapter 70: A sarcastic remark leaves Su Wantang speechless; she stands in the pavilion, hands on her hips.

Dappled sunlight filtered through the hanging vines of wisteria, landing on Tang Luochuan's casually crossed long legs.

Tang Luochuan had already ordered two Chanel items, sent a skincare set home to his mother, and bought some supplements for his grandparents, along with winter clothes for the three of them.

"Did I forget someone? Whatever!"

He didn't think much of it, and the name of his father, Tang Hai, never even crossed his mind.

"TIMI..."

Just as he opened the game, he heard very light footsteps in front of him, hesitating, stopping at the entrance of the gazebo.

The moment he looked up, Tang Luochuan looked at her in confusion: "Su Wantang? Why are you here?"

"Uh... what a coincidence." Su Wantang tucked her long hair, pursing her lips. Going in didn't feel right, but she wasn't willing to leave either.

She curiously sized him up: "Didn't you go to class?"

"I'm good at studying, the teacher said I don't need to attend."

"Huh? Really?"

"Sort of."

Su Wantang walked over anyway, sitting on one side of the boy, maintaining a distance of one meter: "Thank you for taking me to the hospital last time, and for paying my medical bills."

"Oh, it's nothing... Why did you come today?"

"I... our school has a collaboration with the Jiaotong University Literature and Art Department, and Teacher Qi asked me to come over to coordinate the National Day performance."

"Oh!"

Tang Luochuan stared at his phone, selecting a character.

Su Wantang felt she needed to find a topic: "Gao Mingxuan hasn't been bothering you again, has he?"

"I'm actually hoping he would. But I heard from Jiang Jinyue that his family has some problems! Heh, he probably doesn't have the time, but that little bald guy should be coming."

"Then shouldn't you take precautions? Otherwise, call the police, or hire some security?"

"It's fine! Both the school and the neighborhood are very safe. I'm considering hiring a few bodyguards to protect Jiang Jinyue and Shen Muyan! Mainly for commuting. As for me... hehe..."

Tang Luochuan left his sentence unfinished; he was actually quite looking forward to seeing that little bald guy.

"What else did Jiang Jinyue say?"

"About the Gao Family?"

"Mm!"

"They're almost finished! That little scumbag is planning to scam your family out of money! He's definitely still messing around with other girls. That's just my guess!"

Tang Luochuan didn't hold back at all; he said whatever came to his mind!

"Little scumbag??" Su Wantang's mouth hung wide open, her expression a mix of amusement and disbelief.

It was the first time she had heard someone refer to Gao Mingxuan with such a title.

"But my parents want me to marry him," Su Wantang said tentatively.

Tang Luochuan's answer was very simple: "If you don't want to marry him, then don't. Just make it clear to your parents."

"I don't have proof, and the Gao Family is more persuasive in these business circles! Do you have any ideas?"

Tang Luochuan finally glanced at her, then shook his head without saying anything.

"Since you're so capable, can't you give me a suggestion!"

"Miss Wantang, if you don't want to marry, no one can force you!"

"But... but this hasn't been a matter of just a day or two. Everyone knows I like him. This isn't just about dating him; this is about marriage."

Tang Luochuan laughed upon hearing this: "Let me tell you something. A few days ago, my mom made me go on a blind date! At first, this blind date partner chatted with me quite well, but what happened? Just a few days later, she's getting engaged to another guy! Sudden, right? So, for things you can decide for yourself, don't worry about what others think. Although this girl's actions are disgusting, the rules allow it..."

"The rules allow it?" Su Wantang's voice trembled slightly. But she was different from Meng Fanyi; she had truly loved him.

She didn't have the ability to go all out like Meng Fanyi, or perhaps, she didn't have the shamelessness.

The Su Family was different from ordinary people; wealthy families had many rules, and that was absolutely true.

A demolition household could win Meng Fanyi's heart, but could not catch her eye.

"I'll try again~" Su Wantang picked up her phone. In reality, she was very timid inside and didn't dare to face her parents directly.

There are always such parents who are too controlling, and the children never dare to talk back from childhood to adulthood.

But this time, Su Wantang had figured it out, and immediately sent a message to her father: [Dad, let's wait on the engagement. I haven't made up my mind yet! I want to wait until I graduate. Also, regarding the Gao Family, please ask your friends around you! Inquire more about them!]

After sending the message, Su Wantang put her phone away and turned it to silent.

She didn't want to see her father's reply right now.

Tang Luochuan, however, had a sharp tongue and started teasing her: "What? Now that the Gao Family has problems, you don't agree to the engagement? If the Gao Family didn't have problems, would you have agreed?"

This question completely stunned Su Wantang.

She even somewhat regretted sending that message.

"Tang Luochuan... you... why are you so mean?"

"What did I do?"

"You were the one who made me think it through, and now you're the one calling me a gold digger."

"Hey? I was just asking..."

But Su Wantang couldn't handle being asked that, because it truly stung!

However, Tang Luochuan's question actually helped her think it through, and she immediately said: "If he had always liked me, and I liked him too, I would be willing to give everything. But that's not the case now. He used to ignore me, and now he's suddenly showing affection, there must be a problem. So this relationship is fake."

She thought her answer was very good.

At the same time, she felt that Tang Luochuan was trying to enlighten her, and suddenly felt that the boy in front of her was unfathomable and very calculating.

But Tang Luochuan hadn't thought that much at all; he was just asking randomly, he just liked being straightforward.

He looked at the girl in surprise: "I remember when you came to our class to cause trouble for Jiang Jinyue, you said you two were childhood sweethearts? How come now it's... he used to ignore you? Why are you such a fake? Were you just bragging back then?"

"You damn..." Su Wantang couldn't help it, and reached out to pinch his waist.

Even the most composed person would be forced to lose their cool in front of this guy.

Tang Luochuan dodged agilely a few times, but still got pinched by her.

"Hey, men and women shouldn't touch..."

"Can you take me for a drive?"

"Why? I don't have time."

"Just for a little while!" Su Wantang pinched him with two fingers, able to feel the taut muscles on his waist and abdomen.

"Big sister, this isn't very good, we aren't a good match."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't even like you! I'm just in a bad mood and want to clear my head. I'll be back in 30 minutes!"

Tang Luochuan hesitated for a moment, looking at her with an expression of disgust: "Fine, 30 minutes, not a second more. You're paying for the gas."

Su Wantang was both angry and amused: "Fine!"

"Sit here and wait a moment, I'm going to get the car."

Tang Luochuan stood up and walked out of the gazebo, heading towards where he parked.

Su Wantang watched his retreating figure, deep in thought: "Why did I suddenly lash out? This guy has such a sharp mouth. Faking illness, faking studying... This guy is kind of interesting."
