Chapter 178 Mom, did you misunderstand something?
In the car
Two people sat on each side, and for a moment the atmosphere in the car was a little too quiet.
"Mom, can you tell me what happened that made you so anxious to find me?"
Ms. Lin looked at her son with a questioning look.
He thought about it for a long time, so long that the man thought his mother would not answer him.
Just as he was about to ask the next question, his mother's words came into his ears unexpectedly.
"Actually, ever since you were hospitalized last time, your father has been against you and Tangtang's relationship. I guess he asked you to come back this time to discuss your divorce."
"What?" The man was shocked. He didn't expect his father to make such a decision. "I can't agree to this. I will not divorce Tangtang," he said firmly.
Mother sighed, "I know you like Tangtang very much, but this time your father is serious. Our family cannot accept an ordinary girl to become our daughter-in-law. This will affect our family's reputation and interests."
The man was furious after hearing this. "What kind of ridiculous excuse is this? Is love and happiness not as important as the family's reputation?"
Li Hanting looked at his mother, Lin Wei, with a hint of teasing and confidence in his eyes. He asked curiously, "Who told you that your daughter-in-law is an ordinary girl?"
Lin Wei was stunned. She obviously hadn't expected her son to answer like that. "Ah, son, what do you mean by that?"
Li Hanting smiled slightly, he seemed to enjoy this moment. "Oh, Mom, you don't know, your daughter-in-law is also from a wealthy family! My dad is just doing this in vain!"
Lin Wei's face showed surprise. She hadn't expected Shen Qingtang to also come from a wealthy family. "Really? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Li Hanting nodded and explained, "Yes, Mom. Shen Qingtang's family background is no worse than ours, she's just low-key. So, the problems Dad is worried about are actually not problems."
"I see..." Lin Wei said thoughtfully, "So, your marriage won't have a negative impact on the family."
Li Hanting continued, "Not only that, it might even bring more benefits to the family. After all, a marriage between two wealthy families is a big deal."
Lin Wei's attitude gradually changed, and she began to re-examine her son's marriage with Shen Qingtang.
"Okay, in that case, I'll have another good talk with your father," Lin Wei said. "But you should also be prepared that your father might still insist on his own opinion."
Li Hanting smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Mom. I believe that as long as Dad understands the situation clearly, he will change his mind."
After saying that, Li Hanting stood up and said, "I'm going back to the company first. Mom, I'll leave this matter to you."
He turned and left, secretly thanking himself for investigating Shen Qingtang's background in advance, otherwise today's situation might be very embarrassing.
"Hey, hey, hey, come back! You told me you were going to the company during Chinese New Year? Stop kidding, you're not going anywhere today. Just follow me back to the old house!"
Li Hanting stopped and sighed helplessly, "Mom, I don't want to either. But there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the company."
Lin Wei said with a straight face, "No matter how busy you are, you have to go home for the New Year. Besides, your grandparents are always thinking about you."
Li Hanting thought about it and realized that it had been a long time since he had gone back to visit his grandparents. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to Mom."
Li Hanting followed Lin Wei back to the old house. Along the way, the mother and son talked a lot about the Shen family. Li Hanting found that his mother seemed to know more about the Shen family than he did.
Li Hanting felt a little strange. He asked his mother a question based on his belief in asking questions when he didn't understand something. "Mom, how do you know Tangtang's family background? You even know it better than I do?"
Lin Wei looked at her son, a hint of mystery in her eyes. "Son, you may not know this, but as a mother, I always try to learn more about the backgrounds of those around you. I'm naturally more concerned about your future partner, especially."
Li Hanting nodded. He understood his mother's concern. "Mom, I understand. You are always so considerate."
Lin Wei smiled, her eyes full of love. "Yes, son. I understand you and your feelings for Shen Qingtang. I just want you to be happy."
Li Hanting looked at his mother with gratitude. He knew that his mother's love was selfless. "Thank you, Mom. I will be happy. Qingtang and I will work hard together."
Lin Wei nodded. She believed that her son and Shen Qingtang could overcome all difficulties. "I believe in you. As long as you are happy, I will be relieved."
An hour later, the two arrived at the old house.
When Li Kunjie saw his son coming back, he said with a frown, "You still remember to come back? I thought you would never come back to this house!"
"Okay, my son finally came back, and you can't stop scolding him!"
At this time, the old patriarch of the Li family, Li Hanting's grandfather, was very happy to see his grandson.
Li Hanting walked to his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I missed you too." Li Qianliang snorted, "You little brat, you only know how to talk sweetly. How long do you plan to stay this time?" Li Hanting scratched his head, "I still have some things to deal with at the company, so I can only stay for a few days.
"Li Qianliang sighed, "You are always in such a hurry and don't take a good rest." "Grandpa, I understand. I will pay more attention in the future." Li Hanting chatted with his grandfather for a while. During this time, the Li family's side branches also arrived one after another.
turn
Today was supposed to be a happy day, but at the Shen family on the other side.
But there is no such good atmosphere.
Shen Qingyu was dragged into the living room by her mother by her ears.
"Son, why did you make your sister angry again? Your sister only comes back a few times a year, what are you doing? Every time your sister comes back, you make her angry."
Faced with her mother's questioning, Shen Qingyu curled her lips speechlessly.
"Mom...please don't distort the facts, okay? Which eye of yours looked at me and made her angry?"
"I... I just can't stand her arrogant look! It's as if everyone in the family has to revolve around her!" Shen Qingyu said aggrievedly.
"How can you say that to your sister, kid? She's your biological sister!" Qin Xinlin glared at him.
"What's wrong with being my biological sister? Can my biological sister be unreasonable?" Shen Qingyu retorted unconvinced.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Shen Zhenxiong tried to persuade her, "Wife, don't be angry. Qingyu is still young and doesn't understand."
Looking at her husband protecting his son, Qin Xinlin snorted coldly and said nothing in the end.
Turning back to the room, he said, "You, you! You always make your mother angry. What can I do?"
