Forget it, I've already agreed to pay. If he says no, I'll just keep asking about the price. That would be even more troublesome.

Geng Guodong stopped thinking about that upsetting thing and instead looked at Su Ruoyan: "I heard before that Su Laosan married a divorced woman and got married with two kids, thus achieving his life goal in one go. It seems to be true."

Su Ruoyan only gave Geng Guodong a cold look.

Geng Guodong immediately backed down: "Just kidding, just kidding. Hello, sister-in-law! I'm Geng Guodong, formerly Third Brother's little follower! Now Third Brother has gotten too bold and doesn't want us anymore!"

Nan Qu thought she had misheard, but then Su Ruoyan said, "Can't you straighten your tongue?"

Geng Guodong immediately corrected him: "I drank some alcohol yesterday, so I'm a bit slurring my words. Go solo, go solo!"

After saying that, Geng Guodong looked at Su Ruoyan: "Third brother, I'm your buddy after all. The Su family has been doing so well these past two years, haven't you thought about helping your brother soar?"

While peeling an orange for Nan Qu, Su Ruoyan said, "Su Shi is now your sister-in-law. If you want Dai Fei to come, go to your sister-in-law."

Geng Guodong was incredulous upon hearing this: "Holy crap? You're serious? You even handed over your money? Third Brother, you've gone a bit too far!"

Su Ruoyan glanced disdainfully at Geng Guodong: "When have I ever played this game?"

Geng Guodong choked, "Indeed." None of his brothers didn't say that the men of the Su family were all eccentric.

But now: "Third brother, is your eldest brother really dating an internet celebrity? Is this the culmination of years of rebellion finally erupting in his thirties?"

Su Ruoyan's hands didn't stop peeling the oranges: "Uncle Geng, Guodong told me before that he has fallen for a girl. I think her name is Ting."

Geng Guodong jumped up immediately: "Third Brother! You can't do this! If you don't want me to ask, then I won't ask!"

But the next second, Geng Guodong handed the tea in front of Nan Qu to her and said, "Sister-in-law, do you think Su Shi could help me out?"

Nan Qu roughly guessed what Su Ruoyan meant. He was worried that if he went on a mission and wasn't around, Nan Qu would be bullied.

Since Geng Guodong had come to me of his own accord, I was hoping he could help me out later.

But to be honest, Southern opera really doesn't need it.

Perhaps in other people's eyes, the circle of wealthy young men in Beijing is something many people want to associate with. But Nan Qu truly doesn't care.

In other words, how could someone who can be a queen be a lowly foot-washing maid?

In her view, she could get anything she wanted.

She never needed to hide under someone else's wing like a pitiful little thing. She was always the sun that could pierce through the clouds!

"Although Ruoyan gave me the company, the Su family business has always been managed by someone. I don't need to get involved. So, I can't help you. I'll contact you again if there's an opportunity in the future."

Geng Guodong clearly did not expect Nan Qu to refuse.

Moreover, he could see that, compared to those women who eagerly fawned over them, Nan Qu noticed his distant demeanor.

Ha, she's only caught the eye of the third son of the Su family. Otherwise, what's with her being so arrogant as an actress?

Nan Qu did not have a good impression of Geng Guodong.

They started by saying things that were derogatory towards Su Ruoyan, and she wasn't deaf, so she naturally heard them.

His compromise was only because of Su Ruoyan, yet he never apologized. A joke is only funny if both parties find it funny, and she didn't find it funny at all. Nor did she think he was joking.

Seemingly sensing Nan Qu's displeasure, Su Ruoyan stood up and said, "Uncle Geng, it's getting late, so we'll be leaving now."

Nan Qu stood up with Su Ruoyan, and the two children also stood up.

After exchanging pleasantries with Grandpa Geng, I was given a red envelope and left.

Su Ruoyan looked at Nan Qu: "Are you unhappy?"

Nan Qu shook her head: "It's not that bad, I just look down on people who are arrogant."

Su Ruoyan, holding Nan Qu's hand, said, "I didn't do that."

Nan Qu laughed: "What nonsense are you thinking? If you're like that, do you think I'd be interested? Let's go, next one! Hope I don't run into anyone like that again."

Nanqu's hopes were realized, and things became much more normal afterward.

Although they might have thought the same thing as Geng Guodong, at least they were very polite.

They didn't ask about Su Ruohe in front of them, nor did they mention their second marriage.

Nanqu thought this was fine.

She has no intention of settling down with them, and might not even greet them if they bump into each other on the street. Just be polite on the surface. Don't try to be overly familiar with her.

It was already past ten o'clock when we finished the round.

Just as they were heading back home, they were stopped on the road by a uniformed guard.

"Chief Tang guessed that you might not come to his house, so he specially asked me to wait for you here."

Nan Qu looked at Su Ruoyan suspiciously. Su Ruoyan said to Nan Qu, "It's Uncle Tang's grandfather who came to our house for drinks a few days ago."

Nan Qu suddenly realized that this was the old man who had convinced Su Ruisheng to give away all his tea.

Since they had already spoken, the younger generation naturally dared not refuse: "Then please lead the way."

The four of them were originally on their way back to the Su family, but they were abducted to the Tang family halfway there.

Before even entering, Nan Qu heard a girl inside say:

"Grandpa Tang, you're not in good health and shouldn't drink tea, why won't you listen? Where's Uncle Tang? And the guards? Why are you left here all alone?"

Grandpa Tang feigned confusion and said, "Huh? What did you say?"

The girl sighed, "Never mind, I'll go find my uncle!"

After saying that, the girl went upstairs.

Grandpa Tang watched the girl leave, shaking his head. He truly looked down on her, but his grandson was over forty and still unmarried, so what was he being picky about? He'd be happy if she could just drug him and force him into marriage.

Nan Qu, standing at the door, was also taken aback. The tone of her voice just now seemed to indicate she cared a lot about the old man. She was worried about his health, preventing him from drinking tea, and even concerned about her safety as an elderly woman alone there.

But in the blink of an eye, this person abandoned the old man and left?

They didn't take the tea, nor did they help the person back; they just left like that?

What did she just say even mean?

The old man was sunbathing, leaning on his coffin cane. When he saw someone coming to the door, he immediately smiled and said, "Little Sanzi, is it because I didn't send someone to block you that you didn't come to see me?"

Su Ruoyan hurried over to help the old man, saying, "How could that be? I was just afraid of disturbing your rest."

The old man snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know, I just feel sorry for your good things!"

Su Ruoyan immediately protested her innocence: "You're wronging me. What good stuff would I be reluctant to give it to you?"

The old man was anything but polite: "What else could it be? You just got married, and you've been sending your father so much good wine and tea. I only had a tiny bit of tea, and that was just scraps from your father's drink. And you haven't even come to see me in all this time!"
