Tao Liangchen
Chapter 186 Family Banquet
Su Yehao was even prepared to be kicked out of the car.
He thought it was all over, that he was about to screw up completely.
After painstakingly hiding it for so long, in the end, all his efforts would be in vain.
The car was silent for a moment, and Su Yehao finally bit the bullet and told the truth:
"More or less, I like them both, and I can't bring myself to choose to break up with either of them. Actually... I always feel that being indecisive might be hereditary, like my dad, like my maternal grandpa. There have been several concubines in my family since I was little. From a psychological point of view, this may have caused irreversible negative effects on my growth."
Su Yehao had said this kind of excuse-slinging line more than once. It had worked quite well before, but it was hard to say this time.
"...So you're a playboy, don't think I'll forgive you just because you're playing the victim."
Nong Qingying rolled her eyes at him and continued:
"When I first met you, I knew you weren't simple. Remember the first time I met you, I sat in your car and asked you to take me to Central, and you started flirting with me? Sweet talk, eloquent, and later, when I stayed overnight on the yacht."
Su Yehao vaguely saw some hope. This sounded to him like she was trying to find a reason to comfort herself.
The worst-case scenario didn't happen, which cheered him up a bit.
Su Yehao sighed and said, "It's your fault for being so beautiful, and it just so happens that you look the way I like, and your personality is also outstanding. I accidentally fell for you."
This was probably what she meant by flirting.
Nong Qingying was still struggling, but she wasn't as angry or desperate as Su Yehao had imagined. He had to thank the special local cultural atmosphere, as well as Su Yehao's usual caution.
To prevent such a scene from happening, he never dared to make promises to anyone, or act like a devoted and faithful man.
Su Yehao was used to looking at problems with his past mindset, but different places had many differences.
When Nong Qingying was acting as a fake daughter-in-law in the Xue family, she saw a lot of concubines and such. In this respect, she was similar to Nangong Tian. She didn't think there was anything great about it, it was just habit.
It was just that when it came to her turn, it was a little difficult to accept for a while.
At this moment, Nong Qingying was thinking about the good things, such as Su Yehao's usual care and consideration for her, both respectful and gentle.
She had finally adapted to her new life after leaving the Xue family, and subconsciously didn't want things to get too strained. Otherwise, she would have exploded as soon as she found out about this, and wouldn't have picked up Su Yehao to go to her house for dinner, and even reminded him not to drink.
If her parents hadn't found out and actively interfered, Nong Qingying might have just pretended not to know, turning a blind eye.
That previous fake marriage had changed her a lot. After all, she was someone who had been married once.
When faced with such a thing, Nong Qingying had actually thought about it a lot in her spare time. Sometimes when they were together, she had already guessed when she saw Su Yehao not answering the phone, but she couldn't be sure.
Now that they were talking about this topic, Nong Qingying didn't have any experience to deal with it, so she simply filled her head with wild thoughts and held back from speaking.
After a while, she suggested:
"A smiling face is hard to hit. Go buy tea for my dad, and a set of cosmetics for my mom. I'll pay for it. You really deserve a beating. It would be good if you could be so eloquent when you see my dad later. I feel like I've been roasted on the fire by you, and I don't want to break off relations with them again."
"...Or, I could say that my parents forced the arrangement, and I couldn't help it? Anyway, that's how it's done in TV dramas. They might turn around and comfort you."
Su Yehao's EQ wasn't low, at least it was above average.
Hearing Nong Qingying actively helping him come up with ideas, how could he not guess that he could probably escape this calamity?
Wiping his cold sweat, the air conditioner in the car wasn't working. He was considering reducing the size of his fishpond, to avoid similar problems in the future.
Su Yehao never wanted to experience the same thing again.
As the saying goes, you can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever. One lie requires ten lies to cover up. Su Yehao was also under a lot of pressure. He dreamed of covering his mouth at night, to avoid talking in his sleep.
In addition, when he was with the girls, he was also afraid of accidentally calling the wrong name.
For a few seconds.
Su Yehao thought about whether to take the opportunity to reveal Liuli as well, but after thinking about it, he rejected the idea of courting death. He couldn't add fuel to the fire...

Mong Kok.
Nong Qingying's parents had been living in the apartment their daughter rented for them recently. They hadn't been back to Snake Neck Village for a while and had almost lost contact.
Moving from Lantau Island to the city, coupled with owning a fishing boat worth more than five million, the Nong family had changed a lot. They were lucky last month and earned more than 200,000 from fishing at sea.
In the 1990s, the fishing resources were much better than in later generations, and there was a chance to pay off the loan for the fishing boat.
At this moment.
Nong Qingying's father was cooking, simmering sweet and sour pork ribs in the pot, while he was in a daze.
Her mother finished washing the green beans at this time, wiped her hands and chimed in, "There's all kinds of content on the news, it's not necessarily true. Don't lose your temper later. Our daughter has been married once, and the rules of wealthy families are different from ours. The family only has Little Hao as a child, he's young, sensible, and handsome. As long as there are no other problems, he's already great."
Well, how can anyone's life be smooth sailing? Nong Qingying's mother had already seen it. Now she only hoped that her family would be safe and happy.
Recently, Nong Qingying often came home to stay, and she was in a good mood and smiling, obviously living very well.
Nong Qingying's father also knew about this, and he sighed, "The last marriage was fake. It's not good for daughters to be too outstanding, these young masters are no good."
"Other people's daughters aren't as pretty as our Little Ying, does that mean their lives are all good? No worries about food and drink, a comfortable life, isn't that pretty good? And they also said that if she has a child surnamed Tang, they'll cultivate him carefully to take over the family business in the future. It's obvious they're planning for the long term."
After all, they were her parents, and Nong Qingying had mentioned this to them as a joke.
Her mother still remembered it.
Frowning for a while, Nong Qingying's father waved his hand and continued, "I'll ask about it during dinner later. Who would be willing to be a mistress? Don't interfere in this matter, I know what I'm doing."
The mother instantly became alert, and guarded:
"It's not easy for our daughter to return to normal, don't mess up her affairs again. If you do, I'll make you sell the boat to repay the loan. Including the interest, we still owe the bank several million. They're doing business together now, with ups and downs of millions or tens of millions. Do you think this is an ordinary college student relationship, where they can break up whenever they want?"
Living a life, one must be careful and meticulous, these problems must be considered clearly.
Nong Qingying's mother's words hit the nail on the head.
Her husband immediately fell silent.
The main reason was that the issues involved had far exceeded his comprehension, and he was worried that his impulsive actions would ruin his daughter, not only not helping, but also holding her back...
