Han Jianguo got off work on time today. He didn't say anything when he got home. He made a pot of tea with the purple clay teapot that Su Ran gave him and drank the tea while watching TV.
Zhou Shuping had something on her mind and was busy cooking in the kitchen, occasionally glancing at the old man in the living room.
She was ready to wait for the old man to come back and have a quarrel, but the old man just drank tea leisurely. Didn't Han Ting tell her father
Zhou Shuping nervously prepared the meal and asked the old man to come and eat.
Han Jianguo walked slowly to the dining table and ate in silence. The more Han Jianguo acted like this, the more uncomfortable Zhou Shuping felt, but she couldn't just walk into trouble.
Han Jianguo noticed Zhou Shuping's uneasiness. He sighed and said, "Shuping, how many years have we been married?"
Zhou Shuping said angrily: "How come you don't remember it after so many years and you still ask me?"
"It's been 37 years. You're a grandfather now. It took me a lot of trouble to marry you. Everyone told me that your family was too poor and marrying you would affect my future. Fortunately, I was resolute and that's why I have two such outstanding children."
Zhou Shuping heard something behind his words: "What do you want to say?"
Han Jianguo looked at her quietly: "Shuping, you felt very wronged at first. You said that when our children find a partner in the future, you will never make things difficult for them because of their family background."
"How can it be the same? That was the social background at that time." Zhou Shuping muttered.
"It should be different, but what you are doing now is no different from what those people did to you. No matter how outstanding you are, as long as you have a bad background, you will be suppressed and excluded. No matter how good Su Ran is, you just turn a blind eye to her and look down on her background and her profession. Shuping, you have unknowingly become the person you once hated the most."
Zhou Shuping: Uh…
"Old man, what do you mean? Am I not doing this for Xiaodong's sake?"
Han Jianguo asked back: "Are you sure?"
"Xiaodong doesn't like Jiang Xinyan, but you insist on bringing them together. Xiaodong likes Su Ran, but you refuse and insist on interfering. Shuping, do you really think Xinyan is as good as you think? Do you really think what happened last night has nothing to do with her?"
Zhou Shuping bluffed, "I just believe her, it's you who are prejudiced against her."
Han Jianguo took out two documents from his pocket and placed them in front of Zhou Shuping: "You can see for yourself whether it is you who are in charge and have mistrusted others, or whether it is us who are biased."
Zhou Shuping picked up two documents: "What is this?"
"You'll know when you see it."
Zhou Shuping looked at it and her expression changed: "Where... where did this come from?"
"Xiaodong commissioned them to investigate what happened last night. The evidence is irrefutable. In order to take revenge on Xiaodong and Su Ran, Jiang Xinyan spent 600,000 yuan to buy a photo and asked someone to write an article to expose Xiaodong and Su Ran. She also said that Su Ran was the third party, causing Xiaodong and Su Ran to be scolded badly."
"How is it possible?" Zhou Shuping didn't want to believe it from the bottom of her heart, but the evidence was in her hands and she couldn't help but believe it.
"Maybe Xinyan was just too harsh that day." Zhou Shuping was still making excuses for Jiang Xinyan.
Han Jianguo had an urge to vomit blood: "Stupid, didn't you see the date? The date of the bank transfer was two days after the last exposure of Su Ran and Ze Cheng's photos, which means Xinyan has been preparing for it. If Xiaodong really talked to her first and fell in love with someone else, I can understand her revenge on Xiaodong, but is she? She was wishful thinking from beginning to end. Now that she knows she can't get it, she wants to harm Xiaodong and Su Ran. Do you think she really likes Xiaodong? This kind of love is too terrible."
Zhou Shuping was speechless. Yes, it was horrible.
Last night Xinyan came to her and cried, and she believed Xinyan without any doubt, but it turned out that Xinyan was lying to her.
"Shuping, you are a good person in every other respect, except that you refuse to admit your mistakes. We are husband and wife, I can give in to you. Xiaodong and Tingting are your children and they can't say anything to you. People outside can't and dare not argue with you for my sake, but your temper is really hurtful, especially to your closest people."
"I... When have I ever refused to admit my mistakes?" Zhou Shuping retorted weakly.
Han Jianguo raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it now?"
"You just don't want to admit that you were fooled by Jiang Xinyan and used as a gun by Jiang Xinyan."
Zhou Shuping was speechless and felt very upset. She really didn't realize that Xinyan was such a person. She liked Xinyan so much and supported her. She argued for Xinyan time and time again, but in the end, she was slapped in the face by reality.
How could Xinyan be like this
"She instigated you to rush to Su Ran's house to make trouble. Now, you have angered Su Ran's grandparents. They are firmly against Su Ran and Xiaodong being together. Are you satisfied?" Han Jianguo got angry just thinking about it.
Originally, the two families met to happily discuss the matter of their two children, but now he has to go and apologize.
The rift has already occurred. Even if Su Ran's family doesn't care, they still feel uncomfortable. It's easy to drive a nail into the ground, but it's easy to pull it out and leave a hole.
Zhou Shuping said weakly, "Even if Xinyan wasn't there, I still think Su Ran isn't suitable. Her mother isn't decent, and she even knows who her father is. When we get married in the future and people ask about it, what should we say? Also, she's a celebrity, and she's exposed to the public all the time. She'll always be on the hot search with Xiaodong, which won't be a good thing for Xiaodong or our family."
"Whether the shoes fit or not, only the wearer knows. Why do you care whether Xiaodong wears leather shoes or cloth shoes? It's enough as long as he thinks they fit. Also, as for Su Ran's background, it's enough for us to know about it. Any excuse can be made to get away with it. Why do you have to explain everything to others? Is it necessary? As for being on the hot search, wasn't it Xinyan who broke the news? Have they ever been on the hot search after dating for so long? Even if they were, it wouldn't be a big deal. Xiaodong is not shameful, and they are not doing anything bad. It's an honor to marry a soldier." Han Jianguo said.
"Anyway, you have all been bribed by Su Ran and are all speaking in her favor." Zhou Shuping said dejectedly.
"Bribe? Who am I, Han Jianguo? Who can bribe? Shuping, you can't just look at the surface when judging people. You have to look at them with your heart. You know your son's temper. Once he sets his eyes on someone, he will never look back. I think Su Ran is very good. I have decided on this daughter-in-law. You should stop opposing her and stop doing anything tricky. It's not too late to make up for it. If you make another mistake and push your son away, you will have no place to regret it later." Han Jianguo said seriously.
Zhou Shuping opened her mouth. Although she was very reluctant, Xinyan's matter made her lose confidence in what she said, so she could only say angrily, "I don't care."
