"This... I'm so sorry..." Sun Zhaodi nervously fidgeted with the hem of her clothes, then suddenly snatched the wine glass from Tang Yuanshan's hand: "I... I'll toast you all!"
He poured himself a full glass of beer and gulped it down.
Tang Xiaoxiao reluctantly drank a glass as well. Seeing that Sun Zhaodi wanted to pour her another glass, she quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't drink anymore. There are other tables behind us. Take it easy."
......
After Tang Yuanshan pulled Sun Zhaodi to another table, Tang Rugo laughed and said, "My dad was just being polite. He's probably just eager to see what the precious car you gave him looks like."
Then she sighed, "I was thinking of saving up more money in two years to get him a car and fulfill his wish. Cheng Hao just bought a house outright when we got married, and he doesn't have that much money on hand right now. And now we have another child... I didn't expect that we daughters haven't been very filial to him. It's Xiaoxiao who has taken care of him more over the years."
"It doesn't matter who takes care of him, as long as Uncle Yuanshan is doing well. And with Auntie by his side, you can all rest assured," Tang Xiaoxiao said, taking a sip of water.
"I think this Aunt Sun has a nice personality, is quite good-looking, and isn't very old. What a wonderful woman! It's just that her eyesight isn't very good; she actually fell for my dad," Tang Rugo said, pursing her lips.
Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't accept this. She could keep her complaints to herself, but it wouldn't be appropriate to join in on the complaints in front of the girl's own daughter.
After several rounds of drinks, as the banquet was ending, Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi went over to help Tang's parents.
Tang's father had also drunk quite a bit. He doesn't usually drink, let alone get drunk. But today he was with some old friends from his hometown, and he couldn't control himself in his excitement. He was even walking a little unsteadily.
Tang's mother nagged impatiently, "She's so old and still doesn't know her place. I've tried to persuade her so many times, but she won't listen..."
Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi, suppressing their laughter, helped the two elders out the door. As they reached the hotel entrance, they heard someone call out from behind, "Wait a minute!"
Tang Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and looked back. Sure enough, it was the two girls. When Han Yunqi saw that it was them, he immediately felt a little uncomfortable and glanced at his wife cautiously.
The girl named Xiaorui stepped forward, blushing, and stammered, "Yesterday afternoon... I'm sorry, I didn't know... I..."
"It's alright, I didn't take it to heart." Tang Xiaoxiao didn't mean to make things difficult for them. They were just two naive little girls, and she wasn't that petty.
"Really?" Xiao Rui was overjoyed upon hearing this, and looked up with sparkling eyes, saying, "I wish you happiness!"
Then she grabbed her best friend and ran away.
"Whose child is this? Why is he making such a racket?" Tang's mother asked curiously.
"I don't know her, we just bumped into each other. It's alright, let's go." Tang Xiaoxiao didn't elaborate, and helped her mother walk slowly forward.
Han Yunqi breathed a huge sigh of relief, as if he had escaped a disaster.
Then I thought about it again and realized he hadn't done anything wrong, so why was he so nervous?
Perhaps it was because his parents-in-law were present, and he was afraid they would misunderstand that he was not being honest with them.
Tang's mother patted Tang Xiaoxiao's hand and sighed, "Sometimes I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for the children to be so successful... The more capable they are, the more trouble they cause, and all sorts of weirdos come out of the picture."
These words had a hidden meaning. Tang Xiaoxiao knew that there must be a reason why her mother suddenly said these things. Sure enough, she heard her mother continue, "Just now at that table, the younger brother of one of your father's old colleagues came over to try to get close to him. You can imagine how distant that relationship is... Guess what he wanted?"
