Chasing the Light

Chapter 176: Insufferable stupidity

Views:

After cleaning up the kitchen, Han Ting saw Zecheng and his father playing chess. Next to his father was the purple clay teapot given by Su Ran, and he would pour himself a cup of tea from time to time to take a sip. Han Ting smiled bitterly. Zecheng spent a lot of money to buy the teapot, but his father locked it in the cabinet. He used the one given by Su Ran right away. It seems that giving gifts is also a science, and Zecheng still has a lot of work to do.

Han Ting went to sort out the rubbish in the trash can, but found a small gift bag inside. Han Ting quickly picked it up, opened it and saw a pair of pearl earrings inside.

The white pearls are round and shiny, so beautiful! Why did mom throw them away

Han Jianguo also saw it: "Is this what Su Ran brought today?"

"It should be." Han Ting said.

"Your mother has such a bad temper." Han Jianguo sighed.

"Who are you talking about? Han Jianguo. I'm warning you, don't mess with me." Zhou Shuping came out of the room with a sullen face.

"Mom, aren't these pearl earrings beautiful? You said last time that you wanted to buy a pair to match your cheongsam." Han Ting quickly tried to smooth things over.

Zhou Shuping said angrily: "I don't want the gift from that woman."

Han Jianguo winked at his daughter and said, "Tingting, your mother doesn't want it, you take it."

What I mean is to help your mother put it away first.

Han Ting understood: "Mom, then these earrings belong to me!"

Zhou Shuping said sarcastically: "Do you need these things? Do you want all this rubbish?"

"Mom, this is Su Ran's thoughtful gift."

"Who cares about her feelings? I think she has no good intentions at all." Zhou Shuping snorted coldly.

"You said that person had bad intentions. What did they do to you? What do they want from you?" Han Jianguo couldn't stand it anymore.

"She has ulterior motives for pestering Xiaodong. Do you think she really likes Xiaodong? I think she just likes our family. Those of them in the entertainment industry are just thinking about finding a sponsor and marrying into a wealthy family. Once they get their hands on one, they will keep pestering him." Zhou Shuping said.

Han Jianguo was no longer in the mood to play chess, so he said to his daughter and son-in-law, "You two go pick up Xiao Chao first."

"Dad, the game isn't over yet!" Dong Zecheng pointed at the chessboard.

Han Ting said, "Let's go down another day. Let's go pick up Xiao Chao first."

Zecheng is really tactless. He uses all his smartness in business. Dad asked them to go first, which clearly means he has something to say to Mom.

Dong Zecheng then stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, let's go back first."

Han Ting picked up her bag and whispered as she passed by her father, "Dad, don't argue with Mom. Be careful that Mom's high blood pressure will come back."

Han Jianguo blinked to show that he understood.

As soon as his daughter and son-in-law left, Han Jianguo began to teach his wife a lesson: "How many times have I told you not to think that our family is so great? We also come from a poor family. Your class mentality is unacceptable."

Zhou Shuping rolled her eyes at him. "That's what you think. The fact is, with your status, who dares to look down on you? Su Ran has taken advantage of our family's capital and become your daughter-in-law. She can use your influence to get whatever she wants. By then, it will be your reputation that will be ruined."

Han Jianguo sighed, "Don't think too badly of her. When she was with Xiaodong, she didn't know that Xiaodong had me as his father and you as his mother. She just thought Xiaodong was an ordinary soldier. Did she dislike Xiaodong? No."

"She doesn't know? Was it she who said it or Xiaodong who said it? Xiaodong has been bewitched by her and still says everything in her favor. We can't believe what either of them says." Zhou Shuping said.

Jiang Xinyan told her that she had met Su Ran in the army, and at that time Su Ran and Xiaodong were not together yet.

Therefore, she guessed that Su Ran must have started pursuing Xiaodong after she knew Xiaodong's true identity. At that time, she had not confiscated Xiaodong's mobile phone, and they could have contacted each other through the phone.

Girls in the entertainment industry are the most realistic. If Xiaodong was really an ordinary soldier, would Su Huli be interested in Xiaodong? It doesn't matter how handsome he is.

Han Jianguo was extremely speechless: "Shuping, when you look at a person, you can't just use your eyes and ears, you have to use your heart."

"Han Jianguo, stop trying to lecture me. I think you are the one who is bewitched. Su Huli bribed you by giving you a broken pot, and you don't stand firm." Zhou Shuping retorted.

"You were optimistic about Xinyan before. I think you men are fickle."

"Zhou Shuping." Han Jianguo became angry and called her by her full name.

"I used to be optimistic about Xinyan, but there is a saying that time reveals a person's true character. In order to achieve her goal, she has put a lot of effort into you. Don't you know that?"

Zhou Shuping stiffened her neck and refused to give in: "Of course I know that she is willing to be sincere to me, which shows that she is sincere to Xiaodong."

Han Jianguo held his forehead with his hand, "Su Ran was attentive to you, but you thought she had ulterior motives. Jiang Xinyan was attentive to you, even though she knew you had high blood pressure and couldn't be angry. She knew there was no problem between Zecheng and Su Ran, but she deliberately showed you that news and made you so angry that you were hospitalized. Zhou Shuping, wake up and see clearly who has ulterior motives."

"Xinyan didn't do it on purpose. I discovered it myself." Zhou Shuping defended Jiang Xinyan to the end.

"Okay, let's not talk about Xinyan, let's talk about Su Ran. Su Ran was framed so badly, what did she do? She went to teach in the poor mountain valley for three years."

"She went there to repent because she felt guilty," Zhou Shuping retorted.

"Stupid, stupid, extremely stupid. What does she need to repent for? Now she has proved that she was wronged three years ago. The evidence is conclusive, and you are still confused." Han Jianguo was so angry that he felt he was about to have high blood pressure. He had never seen such an old stubborn person who was stubborn and would rather be stubborn than change.

Zhou Shuping was speechless. It seemed that Su Ran was indeed wronged in the donation fraud incident.

Han Jianguo continued, "Su Ran went to the army for training. Her physical fitness was not the best, but she was the most tenacious. Even someone as picky as Bourne praised her highly. The army's commander Sun wanted to keep her. The car accident and the fight all proved that she was a courageous and resourceful person with noble character. You didn't know that after filming 72 Hours, she donated all her filming salary to the families of the drug enforcement officers who died. You also don't know what she is doing now?"

Zhou Shuping asked subconsciously: "What?"

"She sold her house to raise money to set up an angel fund to help disabled veterans and police officers injured in the line of duty."

Han Ting told him about this matter. He was really moved after hearing it. During that mission, a sniper named Wei Lun was injured and broke an arm and had to retire. That’s when Su Ran came up with the idea of setting up an angel fund, and she really did it.

What a good child! If he had some prejudice against celebrities and felt a little uncomfortable about Su Ran's mother getting pregnant before marriage, after knowing this, it didn't matter anymore. He, Han Jianguo, had decided to make Su Ran his daughter-in-law.

"Tsk, isn't she doing all this just to get into our family?" Zhou Shuping disagreed: "It's like risking a lamb to catch a lamb. Just two houses can win the Han family's recognition of her. This deal is worth it."

Han Jianguo looked at his wife with an extremely complicated look, pointed at her, gritted his teeth for a long time, and uttered: "You will regret it sooner or later."
