Chapter 204: His Identity Revealed, Su Hanzhou Was Stunned – Jiang Ning Was Shi Sheng?!
In Su Hanzhou's view, this matter needs to be resolved.
Otherwise, my mother and grandmother would keep worrying about it.
Indecisiveness leads to disaster.
Upon hearing Su Hanzhou's words, Li Yan's face lit up with joy. "Alright, alright, it's settled then. I'll go downstairs to prepare. Remember to get up early tomorrow morning."
"Understood." Su Hanzhou nodded.
Li Yan happily hummed a song as she went downstairs.
While watching TV downstairs, Mrs. Su saw her daughter-in-law so happy and asked curiously, "What good thing happened? Why are you so happy?"
Li Yan immediately recounted what had just happened.
Upon hearing this, Madam Su immediately pressed the pause button on the remote control, looked at Li Yan, and asked incredulously, "Really? Han Zhou really agreed to go to the Shi family?"
“Of course it’s true.” Li Yan nodded. “He told me himself, how could it be false?”
Madam Su then added, "Then I'll go too."
Li Yan looked at Madam Su and said, "Mom, let Hanzhou and I go tomorrow. After all, you and Madam Shi have been old friends for many years. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to go."
Madam Su thought about it and agreed. "Then I'll wait for your news at home tomorrow. I hope Hanzhou will come to his senses."
Not only was Li Yan very satisfied with Jiang Ning, but Old Madam Su was equally satisfied.
If the Su family could marry such a wonderful granddaughter-in-law, she could die in peace even now.
As a grandmother, Madam Su understood Su Hanzhou's personality very well.
Although Su Hanzhou has a talent for business, he also has a great love for playing around. He needs a strong person behind him to keep him in check so that he can create a more dazzling career.
Otherwise, Su Hanzhou would have no choice but to stop moving forward!
Moreover, this person can't be too ordinary.
Jiang Ning is the perfect candidate.
The young woman is beautiful, resourceful, and has business acumen.
Only someone like Jiang Ning could keep Su Hanzhou in check.
Therefore, when she heard her daughter-in-law's words, Madam Su was genuinely happy.
As elders, what we hope to see most is the happiness of our children and grandchildren.
After saying that, Madam Su added, "Since Hanzhou has already agreed to go, you must prepare well tonight. It's never a bad thing to be polite, so be sure to leave a good impression on the Shi family."
"Don't worry, Mom, I know." Li Yan nodded.
Madam Su simply stopped watching TV and turned it off. "No, no, I'm still worried. I'll go with you to prepare."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked all night to decide on the gifts to bring when they visited the house the next day.
The next morning, Li Yan got up early and started working.
At 7 o'clock sharp, she went to wake Su Hanzhou up.
After washing up and coming down to the living room, Su Hanzhou saw a mountain of gifts piled up.
Seeing this, Su Hanzhou was speechless. "Mom, we're just going to pay a visit today. Is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it?"
Bringing so many things over, if the old lady of the Shi family saw them, she would think he was very pleased with Shi Sheng.
Li Yan smiled and said, "Not much, not much. I still have a lot of things I didn't bring."
Su Hanzhou patiently continued, "Mom, we haven't even seen the birth chart yet, and you're making such a fuss. What if something unexpected happens?"
“You can bring the things later. I’m not the kind of person who has to beg for a girlfriend and still can’t find one.”
Before Li Yan could say anything, Su Hanzhou quickly added, "Mom, if you insist on bringing these things, then I won't go."
Upon hearing this, Li Yan panicked instantly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't bring it. Mom can just pick two items to take with her, right?"
After saying that, Li Yan took two expensive tonics from the middle.
At 9:30 a.m., the Su family's car arrived at the entrance of the Shi family manor.
Get out of the car.
Li Yan walked in front, and Su Hanzhou followed behind.
The butler came out to greet them, "Mrs. Su and Young Master Su are here. Please come in. Our matriarch is waiting for you both inside."
The two followed the butler's footsteps.
Before long, we arrived at the lobby.
Li Yan smiled and said, "Madam, I'm sorry to bother you."
Madam Shi immediately stood up from the sofa, smiling at Li Yan, "Ayan, what are you saying? Your visit is an honor for this old woman!"
Li Yan then added, "By the way, Madam, let me introduce you. This is Han Zhou."
Madam Shi immediately looked up.
I saw.
The young man before her had striking features, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with a bronze complexion that wasn't too fair. He had an imposing presence, and the old lady's eyes revealed a look of admiration.
As expected of the Su family!
After Li Yan finished speaking, seeing that Su Hanzhou didn't react, she immediately said, "Hanzhou, quickly call her Grandma Shi. When you were little, Grandma Shi held you in her arms!"
Su Hanzhou then smiled and said, "Hello, Grandma Shi."
Madam Shi nodded repeatedly and continued, "Time flies so fast. I remember when you immigrated abroad, Hanzhou was only this tall! I never imagined that in the blink of an eye, Hanzhou would have grown into a young man."
"If I remember correctly, Hanzhou is 27 this year, right?"
“Yes, that’s right,” Li Yan nodded. “Hanzhou is 7 years older than Shengbao.”
Madam Shi asked curiously, "Does Hanzhou have a girlfriend now?"
Su Hanzhou was very disgusted when he heard this question.
What does Madam Shi mean by this?
Are they eager to bring him and Shi Sheng together?
Even if the intention is to match him with Shi Sheng, they should at least ask him if he would even be interested in Shi Sheng.
Is Shi Sheng really that desperate to get married?
It seems she has some self-awareness, knowing that she is a divorcee and it will be difficult for her to remarry, so she has been trying to sell herself.
What's the difference between this and offering yourself as a bed partner?
Before Su Hanzhou could answer, Li Yan continued, "No, this child has been busy with his career all these years and hasn't had time to date."
Li Yan said this in order to leave a good impression on Su Hanzhou in front of Old Madam Shi.
But upon hearing Li Yan's words, Su Hanzhou looked up at Li Yan and said directly, "Mom, you're mistaken. I've dated so many girlfriends over the years that I can't even count them on my fingers."
Li Yan was immediately extremely embarrassed.
Nervous!
She was covering for Su Hanzhou, but Su Hanzhou actually undermined her!
Li Yan rolled her eyes at Su Hanzhou, then looked at Old Madam Shi and said with a smile, "Old Madam, Hanzhou is a child who loves to joke. He was just joking with you."
“I’m not kidding,” Su Hanzhou continued, “Grandma Shi, this is my most real dating experience.”
Li Yan was completely mortified, so embarrassed that she scratched the ground with her toes.
Madam Shi tried to smooth things over, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. Young people these days like to have fun. There's nothing wrong with liking to have fun, as long as they're mindful of limits."
In Madam Shi's opinion, Su Hanzhou wasn't her grandson anyway.
His relationships have nothing to do with her!
She has no obligation to educate Su Hanzhou.
Li Yan nodded and changed the subject, saying, "Madam, where's Sheng Bao? I haven't seen her today."
The most urgent task is to get Su Hanzhou to meet Jiang Ning as soon as possible.
Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble this kid will get into!
"Shengbao went to walk the dog," Madam Shi said, glancing at the time. "She should be back soon."
Shi Sheng also has a dog?
Su Hanzhou narrowed her eyes. She was so eager to get married, could it be that she found out that I had a dog, so that's why she got a dog?
Impressed.
Impressed!
Next, Li Yan tried to steer the conversation toward Jiang Ning. Su Hanzhou became increasingly uncomfortable listening to her. Judging from his mother's expression, she seemed eager to finalize things between him and Shi Sheng immediately.
No.
He will never marry Shi Sheng.
I'd rather die than do that!
Su Hanzhou stood up from his chair and looked at Madam Shi. "Grandma Shi, please forgive my impertinence, but I have something very important to tell you today."
"What is it?" Old Madam Shi looked at Su Hanzhou. "Hanzhou, we're all family here. Just say what you want to say directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Su Hanzhou nodded. "Grandma Shi, since you are so understanding, I will just say it directly. I heard from my mother that Miss Shi and I had a verbal betrothal when we were very young?"
"That's true," Madam Shi replied.
Su Hanzhou continued, "Those were all jokes from over twenty years ago. Now it's an era of free marriage. Miss Shi and I have never met, and there's a huge gap between us. By the way, Grandma Shi, this is the jade pendant you gave to my grandmother back then. Now it's returned to its rightful owner. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other. Please, Grandma Shi and Miss Shi, don't mention that unfounded arranged marriage again."
After speaking, Su Hanzhou handed the jade pendant to Old Madam Shi.
The old lady's face looked rather unpleasant.
They never took the verbal betrothal from years ago seriously. Su Hanzhou's fuss today makes it seem like someone forced him to marry Sheng Bao!
Her Sheng Bao is so outstanding, even if Su Hanzhou wanted to marry her, he wouldn't have the good fortune.
He is so nice!
Did you come here today just to break off the engagement?
The more Madam Shi thought about it, the angrier she became.
Who is being humiliated?
Li Yan hadn't expected Su Hanzhou to pull such a stunt, so she quickly stood up and said, "Madam, please don't be angry. Hanzhou, quickly apologize to Grandma Shi!"
“No need for an apology,” Old Madam Shi said, raising her hand with a cold expression. “Shengbao and I never took this verbal betrothal seriously! It’s your Su family that takes yourselves too seriously!”
"Butler, see the guests out!"
Li Yan turned pale with anxiety. "Madam, please let me explain."
“Mom, there’s no point in explaining. If it’s not suitable, it’s not suitable,” Su Hanzhou grabbed Li Yan’s arm. “I’ve made myself perfectly clear, and I’ve returned what was owed to me intact! Since they’ve already told us to leave, why should we humiliate ourselves here?”
Just then, a figure walked in from outside leading a dog, followed by a pleasant voice, "Grandma, I'm back!"
"Woof woof woof." Chu Yi barked excitedly a few times when he saw Su Hanzhou.
Su Hanzhou turned around and saw Jiang Ning's face. He froze on the spot, feeling as if his blood was running cold.
he.......
Is he seeing things?!
