Chapter 274 The Tea Ceremony for Changing the Address, Setting the Wedding Date, and Sending Betroth
Tihou Hotel.
Su Xue and Lu Jinnan arrived late, and when they pushed open the door to the private room, everyone inside looked at them.
Everyone had a smile on their face, and it was clear that they had had a very pleasant conversation before they arrived.
That's true. Both Su's mother and Lu's mother are easy to get along with, have a sense of humor, and are not petty. How could they not get along? They probably even felt like they had known each other for a long time.
However, it is indeed a good development that the mother-in-law and mother can get along like good sisters. Unlike many families where there are all kinds of calculations and arguments at the slightest disagreement, the young couple has to deal with all the trouble of mediating between them.
Seeing the two enter hand in hand, so intimately connected, everyone inside burst into laughter. Lu's mother got up before Su's mother and walked towards the door, enthusiastically snatching Su Xue from Lu Jinnan's arm and pushing Lu Jinnan aside. "Come here, Xiaoxue, let Auntie take a look. Oh wait, why does calling her 'Auntie' sound so awkward? Why don't we give you the 'change of address' fee today and just change it directly? There's no better time than today."
Lu Jinnan, who was left standing aside, thought to himself: ".............." Could you be any more impulsive?
Lu Jinnan walked to an empty seat on the side and sat down. He straightened his clothes and greeted the elders at the table politely, calling them "Uncle, Aunt, Big Brother" in turn.
The more Su's mother looked at her son-in-law, the more pleasing he became. Her lips almost curled up to her nose. Only one word came to mind: handsome. "Ah, our Xiao Nan is so polite."
Lu Jinnan returned the smile politely and exchanged a glance with Su Yu.
Su Xue was passively pulled to sit next to Lu's mother, her hand held tightly, making it difficult to escape. Was she afraid Su Xue would run away? She had already worn the ring and made it official, where could she possibly run to?
Su's father appeared calm, though a little reluctant. After all, she was his daughter whom he had raised for so many years, and it was somewhat heartbreaking to suddenly have to discuss her marriage.
Su Yu sat beside his father, pursing his lips and remaining silent. Today was an event for the elders, and he had no right to speak. He had already finished his part. If there were any problems, he should just ask Lu Jinnan. The elders should handle their own affairs, and there were some things that the younger generation should not interfere with.
This is a matter of family education, respect for elders, and highlighting the parents' status on important occasions.
Su's mother was straightforward. Since the engagement was going to happen anyway, and the way she addressed Su Xue was going to change her address, it didn't matter which day it happened. As long as everyone was happy, she naturally had no objections. She smiled and said to Lu's mother and Su Xue opposite her, "Go ahead and change it. It's just a form of address. I have no objection, and you probably don't have any objections either, right, Old Su?"
In just a second, before Su's father could express his opinion, Su's mother immediately said, "Alright, he has no objection either, so let's change it today. Xiaoxue can call me Mom."
Su's father: Did you give me time to give my opinion? Even just one second.
Su Yu picked up the hot water beside him, lowered his head to hide a smile, and took a sip. He had figured out what the main event was today: it was the two mothers. The men next to them had no chance to express their opinions; they were just there to keep the atmosphere lively and sit along.
For example, Mom just asked Dad a question in only one second, which was similar to a quick answer. Once the time was up, the chance to answer was lost, and then the answer was revealed.
Mr. Lu was very clever. He just drank tea the whole time, didn't say a word, and quietly watched Mrs. Lu do her job. All he had to do later was give her the money.
He was exceptionally sensible; if Lu's father had lived in ancient times, he would surely have survived to the end.
Xiaoxue received her mother's instruction, glanced in her father's direction, and then lowered her eyes, speaking somewhat shyly, "Mom, Dad."
Little Strawberry sat on her mother's lap, being held in her arms. When the little one heard her mother calling, she grinned and called out in a cute, innocent way, "Mommy, Daddy."
This shout brought smiles to everyone's faces, especially to Lu's mother, whose smiles turned to tears of joy. "Oh, good, good, so good, Xiaoxue, thank you so much. You are a great contributor to our Lu family. From now on, you're the boss in our family."
Lu Jinnan thought to himself: I knew the Lu family was about to change, and that Madam Wu would take the initiative to step down.
Does this mean his reign is about to begin?
After thinking to himself for a while, he smiled slightly and met Su Yu's gaze.
Since they had changed their tune, they definitely had to pay a "change of address fee." Lu's mother gestured to Lu's father to bring out the items. Lu's father received her gaze and took out the documents from the file folder beside him. There were share transfer contracts, some property transfer documents, funds, jewelry... too many to count.
Su Xue: You became a rich woman overnight? So many? Should I accept them right away, or should I refuse?
While she was still pondering, Lu's mother grabbed her hand, shoved a pen into it, placed all the documents in front of her, and pointed to the signature area. "Xiaoxue, come and sign. This is what you deserve. Mom kept 10% for retirement, so don't mind. Sign quickly so we can have dinner."
They're forcing her into this situation; everyone's waiting for her to sign the papers before they can eat. It's as if if she doesn't sign, they won't get their meal. She's being forced to become a rich woman.
Finally, with trembling hands, he signed his name on the paper.
A moment later, the waiter came in with four cups of tea, which were for the "change of address" tea. Su's mother urged, "Xiaoxue, hurry up and serve the tea."
Su Xue was slow to realize what was happening and was a little dazed today. Everything had come too suddenly. She picked up her cup, stood in front of Mr. Lu, and offered him tea with both hands, saying, "Dad, have some tea."
Mr. Lu's face was unusually beaming with smiles as he took the teacup. "Hey, here, this is a change of address fee."
Su Xue: So what I just received wasn't the "change of address fee," this is?
Seeing that Su Xue didn't move, Lu's mother, who was impatient, quickly took the card from her and stuffed it into her hand, along with her own. Her smile never stopped. "Here, this is Mom's, but this card belongs to Xiao Nan. You will keep it from now on."
Lu Jinnan, who had been smiling calmly the whole time, couldn't smile anymore. He was penniless after just one meal.
Su Yu smiled faintly and remained silent. It seemed that Su Xue would not suffer any losses after marrying into the family, but her brother-in-law might not have an easy time.
Su Xue picked up a cup, offered another cup of tea to Lu's mother, and called out emphatically, "Mom."
Mother Lu responded loudly, "Yes, yes, please sit down."
Su Xue has already changed her address to Lu Jinnan, so it wouldn't be appropriate for Lu Jinnan to still call her "Auntie" or "Uncle."
Su's mother smiled at Lu Jinnan and said, "Xiao Nan, you should change how you address him too."
Lu Jinnan was certainly willing. He picked up a cup of tea from the table, walked up to Su's father, bowed, and said, "Dad, have some tea."
The voice was quite loud, and even Su's father had no choice but to accept it. Everyone present was watching him. He sighed inwardly, accepted the tea, took a sip, and then took out a card from his pocket and gave it to Lu Jinnan.
Lu Jinnan accepted it and thanked him, "Thank you, Dad."
He picked up another cup of tea, bowed to Su's mother, and said, "Mom, have some tea."
With a beaming smile, Su's mother hurriedly accepted the tea and gave Lu Jinnan a card as well. She looked at Su Xue with a lecturing gaze, "Xiaoxue, this is for Xiaonan. Don't even think about taking it away."
Su Xue: Is she that kind of person?
Mother Lu said with a smile, "Oh dear, in-law, from now on Xiaoxue will be the head of the family, so it's only right that she manages the money. This brat can't hide so much money."
Su's mother: "Don't spoil her too much. Xiao Nan is very well-behaved."
Lu Jinnan found his mother-in-law's words particularly pleasing to the ear.
All the red envelopes and the change of address fee seemed to have been prepared in advance, so they had already decided to change the address today, but the person involved didn't know it.
Lu Jinnan didn't lose out today; at least he got two cards, so he's not penniless.
With the matter of changing the address settled, as were the betrothal gifts, Su's mother, being a sensible person, naturally steered the conversation towards Little Strawberry. "Mother-in-law, since the arrangements for the two children have been made, let's change Yueyue's surname when we have time. Xiaoxue is so immature; she's registered Yueyue under her best friend's name, so she still has the surname Tang."
Lu's mother didn't blame Su Xue. Instead, she slapped her son's arm with a loud crack. The unexpected slap left Lu Jinnan completely bewildered. "Mom, what are you doing? What did I do now?"
Lu's mother glared at him. "If you were reliable, wouldn't Xiaoxue have been able to register the child under someone else's name because of you? It would be wrong of me to hit you."
Lu Jinnan's eyes were full of hurt, and he looked very innocent.
Lu's father gave him a reassuring look from afar, indicating that it was nothing.
Su Xue was at a loss for words. This wasn't entirely Lu Jinnan's fault; she also had some issues. She couldn't help but try to explain for Lu Jinnan, since she was the one who slept with him in the first place. "Mom, actually..."
Lu's mother interrupted, "Mom knows you've been wronged. It's okay, if you feel wronged in the future, just tell Mom, and Mom will stand up for you."
Su Xue: Lu Jinnan looks so pitiful. I must treat him well in the future.
Su's mother was a person who valued auspiciousness. She said to her daughter, "Xiaoxue, I asked a fortune teller and he matched your birth dates. You two are a perfect match. The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day to get your marriage certificate. Why don't you get it done?"
Lu's mother agreed, believing that everything should be auspicious, and since it was a wedding, she naturally hoped that everything would go well. She cautiously asked Su Xue's opinion, "Xiao Xue, what do you think? If you think it's too early, that's okay. We can wait a while longer."
The betrothal gifts have been given, and the vows have been changed, so what's there to argue about when it comes to getting the marriage certificate? "I'll listen to both mothers."
Lu's mother patted her hand with satisfaction, "Our Xiaoxue is so sensible, that's wonderful. You've really struck gold, be happy about it."
Lu Jinnan nodded in agreement with his mother, nodding repeatedly. His father gave him a knowing look, indicating that he was right.
He was extremely happy to be able to get his marriage certificate with Su Xue so quickly, feeling very pleased with himself. "I've struck gold!"
Su's mother made the final decision once again, "It's settled then. We'll change Yueyue's name after we get our marriage certificate the day after tomorrow."
"it is good."
Several men: Finally, we can eat.
Lu Jinnan and Su Xue's marriage was settled just like that. Under the table, Su Xue reached out and took Lu Jinnan's hand. The two intertwined their fingers under the table, and Lu Jinnan scratched her hand as if to hint at something.
Su Xue blushed slightly, a rare sight for her.
