Chapter 100 Tang Ya

The previously pleasant atmosphere suddenly froze.

Xie Chaowan's face immediately turned ugly.

Lu Fengqing glanced at the three elders without showing any emotion, and understood what was going on.

It seems that fiancée is really unpopular.

That's true. To put it nicely, that fiancée is devoted; to put it bluntly, she's shameless.

If it were her, being rejected by a man so humiliatingly, she would definitely turn around and leave on the spot.

Perhaps due to her idol-like bias, she didn't think Boss Xie was wrong.

If you don't love someone, refuse them. It's being responsible to yourself and to others.

Ms. Tang's devotion to love is certainly touching, but if that devotion becomes a burden for someone else, then it's better to let it go.

If everyone has to pay for the self-righteous efforts of others, even a superhuman couldn't handle it.

Gu Zhenying asked in a deep voice, "What is she doing here?"

The maid said, "Ms. Tang heard that Young Master Sui Xing had arrived, so she came to see him."

Gu Zhenying remained silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

The maid was somewhat at a loss.

Xie Chaokun was also a little disappointed, but he still said, "Let her in."

We'll have to meet eventually, so we shouldn't make things too ugly.

Even if we don't give Tang Ya face, we have to give his mother face.

The servant, feeling as if granted a pardon, quickly left.

"Stop!" Xie Chaowan suddenly shouted, stopping her.

The servant paused.

Xie Chaowan: "Why are you running? Can't you walk?"

The maid was taken aback for a moment, but she was quick-witted and soon understood.

When I took another step, it felt like I was strolling leisurely in a garden.

-

Tang Ya waited patiently outside the courtyard, never stepping inside without the host's permission, always behaving with utmost courtesy.

She didn't come alone; her niece, Tang Mingyue, came with her.

Tang Mingyue wasn't as patient as Tang Ya. After waiting and waiting for the servants to return, she couldn't help but say, "Aunt, why don't we go back?"

Uncle Xie clearly doesn't like her aunt, so why does her aunt insist on coming here?

"Be patient," Tang Ya said gently. "Don't you want to see Sui Xing? This is a rare opportunity."

Tang Mingyue pouted, "He doesn't want to see me."

Mentioning this, Tang Mingyue felt a pang of sadness. "I just don't understand what's so good about that woman. After all these years, I still like her."

That woman was engaged to her brother. Doesn't Gu Suixing care?

Tang Ya smiled faintly, "So what if he likes her? Grandpa Gu won't let Sui Xing marry her."

“But I won’t let Sui Xing marry me either,” Tang Mingyue said.

Her mother wanted her brother to marry Gu Weiwei, but Old Master Gu wouldn't allow Gu Suixing to marry her.

Even if Grandpa Gu agreed, her parents wouldn't.

Gu Weiwei's father and Gu Jingdong's father are brothers. Her parents are doing this because they intend to side with Gu Jingdong. How could they let her get involved with Gu Suixing?

Her family background was better than Qin Xuan's, and her abilities were no less than Qin Xuan's. If it weren't for these conflicts of interest, Qin Xuan wouldn't have had a chance.

However, I heard that Qin Xuan refused.

That's true, that woman has always been aloof, so it's perfectly normal for her to refuse.

Tang Ya caught a glimpse of the maid returning out of the corner of her eye, but didn't say anything more.

Tang Mingyue didn't say anything more and obediently followed behind Tang Ya.

The maid led them to the dining room door and then left.

Tang Ya stepped into the dining room and greeted the people inside with a smile, "Big brother, sister-in-law, Awan."

"Uncle Xie, Aunt Gu, Aunt Wan," Tang Mingyue called out, then involuntarily looked at the young man sitting on her left.

Neither Gu Zhenying nor Xie Chaowan responded, pretending not to see them.

Tang Ya didn't mind and stood quietly.

Seeing that Gu Suixing didn't move, Lu Fengqing ignored him.

She came with Gu Suixing, and since Gu Suixing didn't like her, she naturally wouldn't rush to greet him.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Xie Chaokun coughed lightly, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Tang Ya smiled and said, "I've already eaten with Mom."

The atmosphere froze again.

Lu Fengqing frowned, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

Ms. Tang and Mr. Xie were not married, but she called him "Mom" very familiarly.

"What are you staring at? Eat." Gu Suixing put the deboned fish meat into Lu Fengqing's bowl.

Tang Ya then looked at Gu Suixing, "Suixing, it's been a long time."

Gu Suixing nodded indifferently.

Tang Ya's smile remained unchanged, but her gaze shifted slightly, landing on Lu Fengqing. Her eyes flickered slightly. "And who is this?"

The only answer she received was from Xie Chaokun: "Sui Xing's girlfriend."

Tang Ya's smile deepened. "Are you Miss Qin?"

Xie Chaokun: "..."

If the atmosphere had merely frozen before, it had now become completely cold.

Lu Fengqing was never one to hold her temper in front of outsiders, and her face darkened.

Tang Mingyue stood behind Tang Ya, her face expressionless, but she was secretly overjoyed.

No wonder she's her aunt.

Gu Suixing glanced at Lu Fengqing's expression, and his usually calm heart skipped a beat.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a "snap" sound.

Xie Chaowan put down her chopsticks, her beautiful eyes seemingly frozen in ice. "If your eyes don't work, just gouge them out."

After saying that, he stood up, without looking at anyone, and led Lu Fengqing away from the dining room.

Lu Fengqing did not refuse and followed Xie Chaowan without saying a word.

Gu Zhenying also put down his chopsticks and left.

What should have been a nice meal has turned into this mess.

Tang Ya watched them leave, and asked somewhat nervously, "Did I... say something wrong?"

Gu Suixing said calmly, "I heard that Old Master Tang's condition is not very optimistic, yet Ms. Tang still has the leisure to come and visit."

To be able to visit the Xie residence day after day for ten years without caring about what others think, besides having a thick skin, is also having enough confidence.

Besides Old Mrs. Xie, Old Mr. Tang was the only one who gave Tang Ya confidence.

I heard that Old Master Tang dotes on his youngest daughter, but no matter how much he loves her, he will not give her the Tang family business.

Because of Old Master Tang's favoritism, many people in the Tang family dislike Tang Ya. If Old Master Tang were to pass away...

Tang Ya's expression remained unchanged. "My father's health has improved a lot recently."

Gu Suixing gave a cold laugh. "Is that so?"

Tang Ya's eyelids twitched.

Gu Suixing didn't continue the topic. "It seems that Third Uncle was right. Coming to the Xie residence will spoil your mood."

Tang Ya's expression changed when Xie Chaoyin was mentioned.

"Let's eat this meal when there are no other people around to disturb us. Uncle, I'm leaving now. Please tell Aunt for me."

Gu Suixing didn't linger and followed them out of the dining room.

Xie Chaokun looked at the table full of food and shook his head slightly. When he looked at Tang Ya again, his tone was still gentle, but his words were not so polite.

“Miss Tang, please don’t come over unless it’s something really important. To be honest, we’re not that close. My third brother has already stopped coming home because of you, and I don’t want to drive away my only sister because of you too.”

Tang Ya's smile vanished.

Xie Chaokun also left.

Only Tang Ya and Tang Mingyue remained in the dining room.

Tang Mingyue glanced at her aunt, whose expression was gloomy and inscrutable, and suddenly felt a little scared.

Her aunt and mother had both told her that this aunt was not a kind person and that she should not provoke her.

At first she didn't quite believe it, but now it seems... she'd better not go this way in the future.

The aunt and niece didn't stay in the dining room for long. The maid who had invited them in came back and awkwardly asked them to leave.

When Tang Ya turned around, her expression returned to normal, still with that gentle and approachable demeanor, as if nothing had happened.
