Tu Sijun noticed Su Ping's unease, her gaze falling on her chest pressed against the fabric, and coughed twice.
It was really not good of me to bring my dad here without telling her today, as it's his birthday.
And they even found this outfit for her to wear...
"It's okay, I'll see if I can find you something looser to change into."
Su Ping was preoccupied with how to deal with Tu Ling, and didn't listen to what he was saying at all, only giving a perfunctory reply.
To avoid embarrassing her, Tu Sijun put her arm around her shoulder and tilted the umbrella over her head.
From a distance, it looked as if she was being held in Tu Sijun's arms.
Tu Ling's eyes widened in disbelief. Given Tu Sijun's narcissistic and fastidious nature, she had wondered what kind of woman would catch his eye, but she never expected him to bring his girlfriend home so soon.
He even chose such an important day as his father's birthday; it seems he's determined to be with her.
The closer Su Ping got, the more clearly she could feel Tu Ling's gaze fixed on her.
But soon the sound of car brakes came from behind.
The car door was opened and then slammed shut. Tu Ling quickly looked away from herself and then looked behind her with a surprised expression.
"A-Chuan, didn't you say you weren't coming back?"
If I had known he was coming back, I would have brought Shixu with me.
After all, as long as he's around, Dad's anger will never affect anyone else.
Su Ping felt a chill run down her spine. She hadn't expected Tu Hengchuan to find her so quickly, and even follow her all the way here.
The sound of raindrops falling on the ground couldn't mask the approaching footsteps behind her, and Su Ping's heart leaped into her throat.
At this moment, Tu Sijun, as if she had made up her mind, pulled her along and strode to Tu Wen.
"Dad, haven't you been urging me to find a girlfriend? Now I've found one."
Tu Wen's smile vanished completely upon seeing Su Ping's face.
He looked at Su Ping in disbelief several times before finally frowning and looking at Tu Sijun.
How did he end up with a woman who looks exactly like your brother's girlfriend? If that woman hadn't died long ago, he would have suspected that the two of them were the same person.
"Is this the girlfriend you found?"
Just as Tu Sijun was about to nod, the person who approached from behind grabbed the hand that was on Su Ping's shoulder.
His fingers twisted in a strange way as he was forced to release Su Ping.
Because of Tu Hengchuan's action, everyone's eyes fell on Su Ping's face.
The one who reacted the most was Tu Ling.
She covered her mouth in disbelief: "Oh my god, Pingping, is it really you?"
After saying that, she rushed over in her eight-centimeter high heels and pulled Su Ping into her arms.
Su Ping was already having trouble breathing because of the cheongsam, and now that it was being tightly bound by the dress, she had even more difficulty breathing.
Su Ping could feel her enthusiasm and affection for her.
However, given the current situation, she simply cannot acknowledge her as her mother.
The next second, Su Ping was pulled out of Tu Ling's arms by Tu Hengchuan.
She was then pulled into his arms.
Tu Sijun raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a half-smile: "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Tu Hengchuan glared back defiantly: "You still have the nerve to ask me? I haven't even asked you what you meant by taking my girlfriend away without permission."
Su Ping almost laughed. When did she become Tu Hengchuan's girlfriend?
Tu Wen listened to their conversation and quickly realized what was going on. Finally, he fixed his gaze on Su Ping.
I don't know what kind of magic this woman has that makes her two sons so jealous of each other!
What nonsense is her brother talking about?
Tu Ling suddenly remembered that Su Ping had passed away, so the woman in front of him could not possibly be Pingping.
Suddenly, Su Ping became the center of attention, and she felt a little like running away.
"Achuan, I know Pingping's death was a huge blow to you, but you can't just find any woman who looks like Pingping to deceive yourself, can you?"
Tu Hengchuan interrupted her directly, saying, "She is Pingping, and one day I will prove it to you!"
Su Ping wanted to roll her eyes at his confident tone. Where did he get the courage? Did Liang Jingru give it to him?
"Nonsense! Dad's still inside, what are you two doing?"
Tu Wen looked at Tu Hengchuan and Tu Sijun with disappointment and scolded them.
Upon hearing this, Tu Sijun said sincerely, "Dad, I've never asked you for anything. I really like Pingping, and I hope you can agree to let me marry her."
Su Ping felt Tu Hengchuan's hand gripping her shoulder tighten, as if he wanted to crush her bones.
"How could Pingping possibly like you? You were the one who took advantage of the chaos to take her away and forced her to come here. She likes me!"
Tu Hengchuan directly refuted him, then looked at Su Ping.
"Pingping, don't be afraid, I'm here, he won't dare to bully you."
Su Ping was at her wits' end; she was now absolutely certain that both of them had something wrong with their brains.
Is it a matter of who she likes and who she chooses?
Impatiently waiting in the car, Shen Jiayu got out when Tu Hengchuan dragged his feet for ages without resolving the issue.
The rain lessened a bit, but it didn't stop; it continued to fall intermittently.
Under the car headlights, Shen Jiayu's approaching figure resembled the entrance of a male lead in a Korean drama.
"I didn't know it was Patriarch Tu's birthday today, so I came without preparing a small gift. I'll definitely make it up to him another day."
Shen Jiayu stopped beside the group and looked at Tu Wen.
Tu Wen was initially wondering whose arrogant tone it was, but when he looked up and saw Shen Jiayu's face, his expression changed slightly.
Okay, he admitted that the crickets were making a bit too loud noise just now. If he were Shen Jiayu, he would definitely be even more arrogant and flamboyant.
Tu Wen quickly put on a smile, forgetting all about scolding Tu Hengchuan and Tu Sijun, and said.
"President Shen, you're too kind. I'm already flattered that you came. Please don't be so formal."
As expected of a seasoned businessman, he quickly built a closer relationship with Shen Jiayu in just a few words.
Shen Jiayu smiled but remained silent, his gaze fixed on Su Ping, who was being held in Tu Hengchuan's arms.
"It's raining and the temperature is low outside, why don't you all come inside and sit down?"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Jiayu said, "No, I came here today not only to celebrate Patriarch Tu's birthday, but also mainly to pick up my girlfriend and take her home."
girlfriend?
Tu Wen quickly looked around. Was President Shen's girlfriend here? He didn't know.
Suddenly, he noticed that Shen Jiayu's gaze was fixed on the woman.
Could it be...?
Tu Wen stared at Su Ping in disbelief.
He was momentarily speechless with shock. The relationship between the two was already complicated enough, and now there was another one.
