Chapter 916: Chapter 916: He did say he would bring a girl over

“He said he would bring a girl over…” Su Yi didn’t want to bring up the topic now; mentioning it made her feelings complicated and difficult to express.

She wasn’t stubborn about following tradition, but Li Shengxiao’s choice of girlfriend was beyond her expectations. When she said in the afternoon that she would introduce him to their social circle, she thought as long as Rong Yan was a decent girl with a good family background, it would be fine. Yet, the girl didn’t even meet the most basic standard of having a good family background.

Lin Teng didn’t notice her off reaction, asking her excitedly, “Do you know what kind of girl she is? It’s the first time I’ve heard that he likes someone. A lot of my friends have wanted to introduce their daughters to him, but he showed no interest at all. It made me wonder for a while whether he had some physical ailment or mental difference from normal people. I even thought about finding him a reliable doctor abroad. Now, at last, I can rest assured.”

As Su Yi listened to her husband’s genuinely happy words, her heart felt like it was overwhelmed with mixed emotions, “Yes, it’s a girl we might not like much.”

Lin Teng dismissed her concern with a wave of his hand, “Ah, why does it matter if we like her, she’s not marrying us. The important thing is whether Shengxiao likes her or not!”

“He really likes her,” Su Yi was certain of that, “If I hadn’t told him to bring that girl over, he probably wouldn’t have come tonight.”

Lin Teng’s expression turned into one of deep powerlessness as he sighed heavily, “Tell me, why has a perfectly good family ended up like this? Dad and Zhiya are both stubborn. One left home without a backward glance, and the other stubbornly refuses to turn back and look for them. Now Shengxiao hardly associates with us. And the irony is, Dad actually admires Shengxiao the most in his generation.”

While Su Yi understood all this, there was nothing she could do about the entanglements of three generations. These close blood relatives couldn’t resolve it, so what could she as an outsider do? All she could do was pat Lin Teng’s hand to comfort him, “Don’t think too much about it. Maybe Dad and Shengxiao just lack an opportunity. When the opportunity comes, their conflict will naturally resolve itself.”

“Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Though Zhiya didn’t come, she had someone send your gift early. It’s the watch you like best; she still keeps you in mind. You should visit her when you have the time.”

The person Lin Teng cherished most was his own sister. Hearing that Lin Zhiya had bought him a watch lifted his spirits from their previous low, and he perked up, “Haha, good, I’ll go see her once I’m less busy.”

“I’ve brought back some bird’s nest for you, and I’ve got the same for Zhiya. That’s supposedly very good for you to drink, it’s beneficial for your health, and it should make your skin better too.”

Half-jokingly, half-seriously, Su Yi said, “Since when did you start researching these things? Don’t tell me it was a girl who told you about it?”

He was just a rough and straightforward man, a blockhead, who hadn’t shown any improvement in this regard for decades, and now suddenly he knew to buy her bird’s nest and skincare products, which had surprised her for quite a while.

Lin Teng casually replied, “It was the doctor with our team who mentioned it. He’s about the same age as Xiansui and he’s getting married at the end of the year.”

Caught off guard, Su Yi’s face nearly turned red as she chided, “What are you talking about? I’m not asking because I don’t trust you, I was just curious and asked casually.”
