In the restaurant.
Tang Yao served each merchant and his wife a bowl of soup like a hostess and placed them in front of them.
"Aunt Shang, Uncle Shang, this is the old duck soup that I specially asked the cook to cook for several hours. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
"Thank you, thank you."
With the giant Buddha Su Lengmo around, the businessman and his wife were a little helpless, so they didn't know what to do with the spoons.
Tang Yao smiled and said, "Is the soup not delicious?"
"No, it tastes good, it tastes good." The two of them agreed in unison, and then drank the soup with a spoon in their hands and feet. Shang's mother almost put the spoon into her nose.
When Tang Yao saw it, she wanted to hold her forehead for a moment, but turned to look at Su Lengmo. Seeing his expressionless face, she knew where the crux was.
"Leng Mo." She tugged at Su Lengmo's clothes and said, "Smile."
Su Lengmo forced a smile and said, "Mr. Shang, Ms. Shang."
"Mr. Su, please tell me if you have any advice." The businessman and his wife put down their spoons in unison and looked at Su Lengmo. There were a lot of elderly people, and they looked like two people in front of Su Lengmo. Like a child facing a teacher.
"Are you afraid of me?" Su Lengmo raised his eyebrows and asked in a funny tone.
"How could it be possible? We are all a lot older. You are our junior. How could we be afraid of you?" The merchant couple forced a smile, "We just think this restaurant is really big and the food on the table is too big." It’s too rich and I’m worried that I won’t be able to eat it and it will be wasted, so I’m a little nervous.”
Su Lengmo took a piece of duck meat to Tang Yao and said, "My wife just told me that she plans to discuss the marriage of Jiahao and Xiaoqin with you. Have you re-examined your life
"Yes, after the previous wedding was postponed, in order to hold the wedding again before Xiaoqin gave birth to the child, her father and I took Jiahao and Xiaoqin's horoscopes and showed them to others again, and selected several dates. The latest one is one month later. I just don’t know what you and Tang Yao think?" Mother Shang coughed lightly, and with Su Lengmo's calm and confident attitude, she said: "Of course, our whole family will cooperate with your time. If you feel that one month is too early, you can do it in two months. Xiaoqin will be seven months old at that time. It will not look good in a wedding dress with a big belly. Others will also make some gossips, but they are all for our husband and wife. Yes, so it’s not a big deal.”
Su Lengmo glanced sideways at Tang Yao: "Wife, what's your opinion?"
"Just one month from now. The preparations for the previous wedding were almost complete, but it was delayed because of the Su family's affairs. In addition, Jiahao is now injured and needs to recuperate. Otherwise, the wedding can be held in ten days. Tang Yao didn't have any objections: "Aunt Shang, it's because of us that Xiaoqin suffered a lot of grievances. This glass of wine is my apology wine to you and Uncle Shang. I'll drink it first as a token of respect." , you are free to do as you wish.”
After saying that, she raised her head and drank the wine in one gulp.
Shang's mother hurriedly said: "No, no." But it looked like Tang Yao had finished drinking the wine. She could only pick up the cup in front of her and drank the wine boldly, and even reached out to poke Shang's father. .
Father Shang stood up holding the cup and said: "Tang Yao, as Xiaoqin's father, although it is a bit regretful that she could not hold the wedding before her belly became pregnant, it cannot be said that she suffered any grievances. Both you and Mr. Su are sincere She gave her everything she wanted, and made my wife and I, two ordinary people, feel the vanity of being complimented. Everyone said that Xiaoqin’s life was good. In fact, our husband and wife felt the same way. Ordinary girls will have a hard time getting married, but you have never given us this feeling, so we feel relieved to leave Xiaoqin in the hands of Jiahao, and hope that she can fulfill her responsibilities as a wife after getting married. Balance work and family well, take good care of your children and family, and I have sincere respect for you and Mr. Su."
After talking a lot eloquently, Mr. Shang drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Tang Yao looked at the businessman and his wife calmly, knowing that these two people were real people. They were not overly flattering because of her and Su Lengmo's status, and were even a little reserved. Such people could not teach too bad. Her daughter came, so after this kidnapping, she would let go of Shang Xiaoqin and Tang Jiahao's marriage, otherwise, she would have many means to prevent the two from getting married.
"Aunt Shang, Uncle Shang, please sit down and eat. From now on we are all a family. If we are so polite when we come and go, it will be a quarrel."
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you want."
The businessman and his wife sat down, and Tang Yao, like a conscientious junior, put food on their plates: "You two, please eat more. I asked the cook to prepare these specially for you."
"Thank you, these foods are delicious." The merchant and his wife thanked them repeatedly, but because of Tang Yao's respect, they were no longer as restrained as they were at first.
After dinner, the date for the wedding was decided. Tang Yao said: "Uncle Shang, Aunt Shang, if you two elders don't have any objections to this day, then I will call the hotel again. They have backups there." We don’t need to prepare anything else.”
"Okay, everything will go according to your arrangement." The businessman and his wife had no objections.
Tang Yao wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin: "Then let's go tell Jiahao and Xiaoqin about the reselected date. They should be very happy."
"Okay, okay." Shang's mother said.
Coming out of the restaurant, Tang Yao glanced sideways at Su Lengmo: "Leng Mo, if you have anything to do, go ahead and do it. I'll greet you here."
Su Lengmo nodded, turned to look at the merchant and his wife, "Mr. Shang, Ms. Shang, I still have work to deal with, excuse me."
"Okay, okay, go quickly, work is important." Shang's mother said.
Su Lengmo stopped talking nonsense and left directly.
Shang's mother breathed an obvious sigh of relief and touched Tang Yao's smiling eyes. She said sheepishly: "Although Mr. Su is young, his aura is too strong. Standing in front of him, it always feels like you are facing a leader." , a lifelong habit cannot be changed in a moment.”
Tang Yao smiled kindly and made an invitation gesture. The businessman and his wife went to Tang Jiahao's room side by side with her. Shang Xiaoqin was eating, and Tang Jiahao looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, although they were not the same. There was not much communication, but there was a sense of tranquility.
"Dad, Mom, Sister Tang Yao, have you finished eating?" Shang Xiaoqin finished the last mouthful of porridge, only to find Tang Yao and the others coming in, and immediately said hello.
Shang's mother came over and took a look at Shang Xiaoqin's food. Satisfaction flashed in her eyes. Just as Tang Yao said, she did not treat Shang Xiaoqin badly in taking care of the details.
"Are you full?" Shang's mother said sympathetically.
"I'm full. It's the porridge that Sister Tang Yao specially ordered the cook to cook. It's very useful for the recovery of wounds." Shang Xiaoqin put all the credit on Tang Yao: "Sister Tang Yao is a very careful person and takes care of me everywhere. Being able to meet her and Jiahao is the luckiest thing in my life."
Shang's mother nodded in agreement, glanced at Tang Yao gratefully, and was about to speak, but Tang Yao stopped her: "Aunt Shang, we will be a family from now on, so there is no need to say thank you, otherwise it will look awkward."
"Okay." Mother Shang nodded obediently.
Tang Yao said: "Xiaoqin, your parents and I have discussed the wedding. They have reselected a date on the 25th of next month. If you feel that the time is too tight or you can suggest something else, we can discuss it as appropriate. Go ahead and choose, in short everything is based on your wishes, we will not force the decision for you and Jiahao."
Hearing this, a dark light flashed in Shang Xiaoqin's eyes, but she hid it well. She said obediently: "Sister Tang Yao, you and my parents can decide about the wedding. Jiahao and I are both. People who have never been married don’t know much about these things.”
"Since you have no objection, the date will be set at that time. I will have someone call the hotel to reserve the venue later. Your wedding dress has been booked with Italy before, but because something happened to the Su family, there was no luck. Come here, I will ask them to send it over in the evening. Then you can try again and modify it if it is not suitable." Tang Yao said: "You only get married once, so you must be beautiful and be the most beautiful bride in the world."
Shang Xiaoqin had a smile in her eyes and a blush on her face: "Thank you, Sister Tang Yao." After saying that, she thought of her face: "Sister Tang Yao, my face... I'm afraid it won't get better after a month, and there are also wealthy families, we are like this Will getting married be a bit..."
But thinking about Huo Qisheng's plan, even if she became an ugly monster, she would have to marry Tang Jiahao in order to declare her sovereignty and prepare for entering the Su Group's interior in the future.
"Don't worry, your face will be better by then, and then you can ask a top makeup artist to do your makeup, and the scars will be faded to the point where they are almost invisible. As for Jiahao, as a man, he shouldn't mind this too much." Tang Yao said : "Of course, if you mind, you can also postpone the time. But your belly will be big by then and it won't look good in a wedding dress."
Tang Jiahao reached out and took off the oxygen mask and said: "Sister, there is no need to delay. I am a grown man. There is no problem with a few scars on my face. I don't mind."
"Xiaoqin, what about you?" Tang Yao asked.
"I don't have any objection. As long as I can marry Jiahao and have children for him, I will be satisfied." Shang Xiaoqin glanced at Tang Jiahao, her eyes full of tenderness and sweetness: "He doesn't mind the injury on my face. , what other people think has nothing to do with me.”
Tang Yao nodded and called the housekeeper to arrange the venue.
"Okay, Madam, I'll do it right away." The housekeeper took the order and left.
Tang Yao glanced at the merchant couple: "Uncle Shang, Aunt Shang, you should be worried about Xiaoqin. Just stay here for the next few days. I'll have someone clean up your room."
Shang's mother hesitated: "Is it a little inconvenient?"
"There is nothing inconvenient. There are many rooms at home, so there is no shortage of one for you." Tang Yao said.
