Despite her inner grumbling, Su Wanwan still had to attend the banquet. She wanted to see what this hypocrite, Su Mu, had to say.
Su Wanwan took Zimu to Songbai Courtyard.
"Wanwan, you're here? Come on in, your father has prepared many of your favorite dishes for you. Come and eat." Su Mu looked up and immediately saw Su Wanwan standing at the door of the house, and quickly invited her in.
Su Wanwan quickly glanced at the dishes on the table; they were indeed all the original owner's favorites.
With a smile on her face, she lifted her skirt, stepped over the threshold, and went inside. Her eyes were full of adoration as she looked at Su Mu, and she said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Hehehe, thank you, Father. Then I'll have to eat an extra bowl of rice later."
Then, he sat down on the empty stool opposite Su Mu.
Zi Mu, who followed him in, curtsied and said, "Greetings, General."
Su Mu waved his hand, "You can all go down now. Let me talk to Wanwan and her father."
"Yes, General."
Zi Mu and Tie Zhu left together, leaving only Su Wanwan and Su Mu in the house.
"Here, let me ladle you a bowl of lotus root and pork rib soup first. This pork rib soup is sweet and soothing to the lungs, and the lotus root is soft and tender, making it very nourishing. Try it." Su Mu looked at Su Wanwan with loving eyes and gently placed a steaming bowl of lotus root and pork rib soup in front of her.
At the same time, he didn't forget to remind her, "Eat slowly, be careful it's hot."
"Thank you, Father. Father, this is your favorite smoked duck. Please try some." Su Wanwan used clean chopsticks to put a piece of smoked duck into Su Mu's bowl and said with a smile.
"Hahaha, eat, eat it all." Su Mu laughed heartily, his laughter like thunder, the booming sound echoing throughout the room.
Who wouldn't sigh at the scene of such filial piety and parental love?
Unfortunately, it was all an illusion!
Su Wanwan and Su Mu chatted casually while eating.
Su Mu was the one who was talking, and he was reminiscing with Su Wanwan about the original owner's childhood.
Su Wanwan flaunted her physique and occasionally took a moment to respond to Su Mu.
Even a trap couldn't stop her from immersing herself in the meal.
When Su Wanwan was almost full, Su Mu finally got to the main topic.
Su Mu's mood immediately sombered, his previous high spirits replaced by a deep sadness. His eyes seemed to be brimming with tears as he quietly gazed at Su Wanwan, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He slowly spoke, "Wanwan, it's all my fault. I'm so sorry!"
As he spoke, his voice became hoarse and solemn.
They're here, they're here.
The main event of the Feast at Hongmen is about to begin!
Su Wanwan was filled with excitement, but her face remained expressionless. She looked at Su Mu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Father, what are you trying to say? I can't understand a word you're saying. How have you wronged me? I've always loved you very much."
Su Mu: ......
How come he never knew Su Wanwan was so stupid?
Even after all that had been said and the atmosphere had become somber, she still didn't understand what he meant.
Hmph, whatever. She's just a country bumpkin. In the end, she's not Su Mu's child. She's still a bit stupid.
He couldn't help but wonder if the divination given by the bald-headed monk back then was a deception!
"Oh, Wanwan, your father said he can't keep you in the manor anymore. In the end, it's all because your father is useless; he can't even protect a young lady like you." As he said this, Su Mu's eyes were already red, and tears welled up in them.
Su Wanwan felt a little contempt for Su Mu. If he was going to put on an act, he should have done so, but instead of being discreet when he pinched her thigh, he insisted on letting her see it.
She rolled her eyes inwardly. Tch, she'd show him what Oscar-worthy acting really was!
