Old Mrs. Tan leaned in her son's arms, patted his back angrily and distressedly, and scolded: "You are so unfilial, son. You have been away for so long without contacting your family. How sad we as parents are!"
Tan Xiangchen hugged his mother tightly and said guiltily, "Mom, it's my fault. I know I was wrong. Over the years, I have been feeling bad and feel really guilty."
Mrs. Tan wiped her tears, sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. I won't force you anymore. I accept your relationship with Yuzhu."
Mrs. Tan said with emotion: "In the past, it was our Tan family who was too stubborn and did not accept your marriage with Yuzhu, which caused you to suffer so much. Let the past be the past, and we just need to be a good family in the future. Mom will not pursue the grudges of the past anymore."
When Tan Xiangchen heard his mother say this, his eyes were red again. He said slowly, "Mom, someone deliberately did something bad back then. Someone spread rumors that Yuzhu had a child out of wedlock, ruining her reputation and causing her to not be able to marry into our Tan family smoothly in the end."
After hearing this, Mrs. Tan said with regret on her face: "It's all our fault that we didn't investigate it thoroughly and believed those rumors, causing you to suffer so much grievances..."
At this time, Tan Xiangchen slowly reached out his hand towards Li Yuzhu, his eyes full of tenderness and expectation.
Li Yuzhu lowered her head slightly, with a smile on her face, and walked towards Tan Xiangchen with light steps. She gently put her hand into Tan Xiangchen's palm, and in an instant, the temperature of their palms was transmitted to each other, warming each other's hearts like an electric current.
Then, the two of them held hands and stood in front of Old Mrs. Tan.
Li Yuzhu bent her knees slightly, with a happy and joyful smile on her face, and called sweetly, "Mom."
Mrs. Tan looked Li Yuzhu up and down with a kind look in her eyes. She said with understanding and gratitude, "Child, I know it has not been easy for you in the past twenty years. I understand the hardships of raising two children alone."
Li Yuzhu's eyes were slightly red, and she pursed her lips and said, "Mom, it's okay. All the suffering is over."
Tan Xiangchen held Li Yuzhu's hand tightly, stared at her affectionately, then raised his head and announced to Old Lady Tan with a firm gaze: "Mom, I want to marry Yuzhu, and I must marry her in a grand manner."
When Li Yuzhu heard this, her thoughts instantly drifted back to the past. She shook her head gently, recalled the past and said: "In the past, I only wanted to be with Xiang Chen, and never cared about the scale and form of the wedding."
Old Mrs. Tan nodded and said approvingly, "Yuzhu, you have given birth to two such outstanding grandchildren for our Tan family. You are a great contributor. This wedding must be held in a grand manner. You cannot be wronged." She raised her head slightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes, but more of a worldly insight. "Now, I don't care about family background and wealth. As long as you two live happily, that's enough."
Old Mrs. Tan smiled and looked at Li Yuzhu and Tan Xiangchen kindly and said, "Actually, I've figured it out a long time ago. You should just prepare for your wedding and live a good life in the future."
Li Yuzhu and Tan Xiangchen looked at each other. Over the years, there had been too many regrets and bitterness between them, but at this moment, happiness overwhelmed them like a tide.
Tan Xiangchen hugged Li Yuzhu's shoulders tightly and promised softly but firmly: "Yuzhu, I will definitely fulfill my promise and give you an unforgettable wedding."
Li Yuzhu leaned in Tan Xiangchen's arms, nodded gently, with tears of happiness in the corners of her eyes.
At this moment, Qibao came over with his short legs, opened his big round eyes, and asked curiously: "Grandma, are you going to be a bride?"
Although Li Yuzhu is Qibao's grandmother, she couldn't help but blush when she heard about the marriage. She gently touched Qibao's head and smiled shyly.
Qibao blinked his big eyes, looked at Li Yuzhu, then at Tan Xiangchen, and suddenly said in a baby voice: "Grandpa, you look like Tan Zhengchu."
Tan Xiangchen was amused by Qibao's cute appearance. He bent down, picked up Qibao, and asked with a smile: "Qibao, right? Do you recognize me?"
Li Yuzhu was grinning from ear to ear. She kissed Qibao and patiently explained, "Qibao, Tan Xiangchen is Tan Zhengchu's daddy, and also your grandpa."
After hearing this, Qibao seemed to have received important confirmation information. She stretched out her little hands and hugged Tan Xiangchen's neck tightly, saying seriously: "Grandpa, I am Tan Zhengchu's most adorable little daughter. You must remember this!"
Tan Xiangchen laughed out loud at Qibao's cleverness, and his voice became extremely gentle: "Grandpa, remember, Qibao is the cutest. Grandpa likes you very much."
Qibao giggled happily, thinking how nice it was for the family to be together harmoniously.
At this time, Mrs. Tan saw that it was very cold outside, turned her head to look at Tan Xiangchen beside her, and said with concern: "It's so cold outside, let's go back to the house to eat. This meal took a long time to prepare, and I guess everyone is starving."
On the other side, Tan Zhengchu hugged Su Yingxue's waist tightly, his chest against her back, his chin resting on her shoulder, exuding a strong possessiveness.
Su Yingxue was somewhat overwhelmed by his sudden intimacy. She turned her head shyly and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing? There are so many people here."
Tan Zhengchu didn't care, he lifted her chin slightly domineeringly, and then kissed her deeply. After the kiss, he said affectionately and domineeringly: "You are mine, I can't help it."
Su Yingxue's face instantly turned red like a ripe apple. She looked around in panic and whispered, "What if someone sees us?"
Just then, Tan Zhengfan put his hands in his pockets, walked over slowly, and joked, "Oh, I didn't see anything, you guys continue." This sentence made Su Yingxue even more shy, and she wanted to bury her head in the ground.
After Tan Zhengfan left, Su Yingxue gently patted Tan Zhengchu's chest and said angrily, "How could you kiss me outside, and in front of my family? How embarrassing."
Tan Zhengchu didn't care. He laughed softly, pulled her into his arms, and said gently, "I just can't help it. You're so beautiful. I want to kiss you as soon as I see you."
Su Yingxue pouted and retorted: "Even if you can't help it, you should pay attention to the occasion. How can you be so reckless as you are?"
Tan Zhengchu hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "I don't care. I just love you and I don't want to endure it."
The two of them argued over this little thing, one saying that they should be careful about the limits, the next saying that they couldn't control their love.
But in the end, no one could convince the other, and this little argument became a childish and sweet interaction between them.
