In Tang Caiping's impression, the old lady and old man were still spirited, and they had also thought it through. All these years, they had traveled the world together, and the vigor and vitality that they had displayed was something that even she couldn't compare to. However, looking at the old lady sitting on the sofa and slowly saying those words, then looking at her head full of white hair, Tang Caiping's heart started to feel a little sour.
"Mom, don't say that. You and dad are still young. They're not old at all."
"You, have always been a sweet talker, all these years, seeing that you and Yuheng are so good, I almost never blushed, even when I was angry, quarreling, the one who lowered my head first was you, Yuheng this kid, normally seems to have a good temper, but if he really gets stubborn, his temper is really bad, all these years, it's all thanks to you being able to contain him."
"Mom, this is what I should do. We are husband and wife, it's fine if we bow our heads and apologize first. Yuheng has been good to me all these years, as well as the tolerance and love you and Dad have for me. I will remember this in my heart!"
The old lady put down the teacup in her hands and patted the back of Tang Caiping's hand with a smile. Her gaze shifted from Tang Caiping's face and landed on the orchid in front of her, but her gaze was fake and unreal. It was unknown if she was truly looking at the orchid or at nothingness.
"Caiping, in fact, you probably didn't know that when Yuheng brought you back to see your father and I, and said that he wanted to marry you, your father and I actually didn't quite agree with him. We even privately advised Yuheng to reconsider."
Tang Caiping opened her eyes widely, her face was filled with astonishment. She had never known about this, in her memories, the old lady and the old man had always been good to her, and never showed any dissatisfaction towards her. Even when she had conflicts with Tang Yuheng, the two old men would casually stand by her side.
The old lady once again turned to look at Tang Caiping and smiled, "I feel very surprised, don't I? After all, no matter if it's me, your father or Yuheng, I have never told you about this matter. "
"But, Mom, why? In the past, did I perform badly and make you feel disgusted? "
If Yuheng marries you, no matter if it's in life or career, I believe you will help him quite a bit. "" Really? "
"Then why?" Even though times have changed, Tang Caiping still really wanted to know the answer.
Old Mrs Tang maintained a tranquil smile as he looked at Tang Caiping, and explained in an unhurried manner, "Do you still remember the reason why your parents opposed you and Yuheng being together?"
Tang Caiping nodded her head. At that time, because of this incident, she and her family was at loggerheads, and she almost ran away from home.
"As you know, your father and I grew up abroad, and were educated in Western education. From our point of view, your parents are a bit conservative, with the same surname and we can't marry each other. This made us feel that it was very absurd, and we were worried that if we became relatives with such an old-fashioned family, Yuheng's days would not be good in the future. In addition, you have been pampered since you were young, so even though your behavior was very gentle, your dad and I could tell that you weren't as gentle as you seem on the surface.
"Your father and I only had Yuheng as a child, so we naturally hoped that his life would go smoothly and blissfully, and you, honestly speaking, weren't our ideal choice for the daughter-in-law. At that time, you were young, and your father and I were worried that your temperament had not been set, and that you wouldn't be able to live a good life with Yuheng after marriage. Also, your parents only had one daughter, so after you marry Yuheng, your father's company would sooner or later fall into Yuheng's hands."
"As parents, how could we not know how capable our children are? It's already hard enough for Yuheng to not lose just because of his family's business, now that we've added another layer of burden on his shoulders, we're also worried that we'll crush him. Compared to fame and fortune, your father and I always felt that talent is the most important, it doesn't matter if we have money or not, as long as we feel happy."
"That's why you and Dad didn't think well of us, right?"
At that point, Tang Caiping finally understood the reason why the two elders opposed her being with Tang Yuheng at that time.
"But then, Mom, why did you and Dad treat me so well?"
I feel that happiness is the most important thing. Back then, Yuheng insisted on marrying you, saying that he would only feel happy if he was with you. But tell me, what reason did your father and I have to oppose the two of you being together? And the final facts also proved that your father's and I's worries were unnecessary. "
Caiping, I am more or less a mother-in-law as well. Your feelings, I can still understand it, you don't like warmth, so I can't help but want to make things difficult for her, but there are only two reasons why you want to do this, one is because you are worried that those troublesome matters regarding Su Family will drag Yifeng down, the other is because you feel that you have raised your child with great difficulty, yet in the end, you have become the husband of another woman. In his eyes, you can no longer be number one.
Being seen through by the old lady, Tang Caiping felt a bit embarrassed and lowered her head. But after thinking about it, the old lady had also said that she had experienced the changes in her heart before.
When the old lady saw the expression on Tang Caiping's face, she knew that she had heard everything that she had said. It was just that she couldn't change her mind in that short amount of time.
"Caiping, you and I both know that in the heart of a child, parents do not always occupy the first place. Once he has his own family, his own wife and children, his love and attention will naturally be transferred to them, and we will not have to worry about this at all. Although a child is ours, it does not mean that we have the right and control over them.
The old lady's words made Tang Caiping feel enlightened, as if a blood vessel in his brain that had been clogged up suddenly opened up.
Just that, thinking it through, was one thing. However, whether he could immediately change his attitude towards Su Nuannuan was another.
"Mom, I understand everything you say, but … "I …"
Tang Caiping looked at the old lady, not knowing how to express his current thoughts.
As for the rest, just let nature take its course. However, I still have to remind you, if you don't want to hurt the relationship between mother and son between you and Yifeng, it's best if you don't make it too difficult for this child. It's not easy for this child to be born in that kind of family. "
When he thought about his relatives in Su Family, Tang Caiping, who had just relaxed, couldn't help but frown once again.
"You, change your mind, don't just think about the bad things that happened with Su Family. Think about how this child treated her family, her family did that to her, but the child is still as affectionate as before, like her father. If it were anyone else, she would have already ignored him, but even though she was disappointed, she still had to take responsibility, shouldn't a person who is compassionate be better than those heartless people? Let's assume that one day, if there is a major change in Tang's and Tang Family that is about to go bankrupt, do you wish for someone like Warmth to accompany Yifeng, or do you wish for a person who would easily sever all ties with his family to accompany Yifeng, for which of these two people do you think it is safe? "
Hearing that, Tang Caiping went silent, and the answer was obvious.
"You see, in times of crisis, you still like people like that, don't you?"
"Mom, I understand what you mean, then I will listen to you, during this period of time, when Su Nuannuan is living at home, I won't intentionally make things difficult for her, but, I'll immediately be at peace with her, and there will be a knot in my heart, so I'll first observe for a while, to see if she's really suitable for Yifeng, and if it's suitable, it'll be for the best. If it's inappropriate, I'll definitely have a good chat with Yifeng, and won't be impulsive anymore."
"Alright, you can do that."
When she saw Tang Caiping's still slightly uncomfortable expression, she smiled and added, "How about this, I'll teach you a way. If you can't help but warm that child's temper, then think in her heart, if you can't resist saying those words, how would you feel if they came out from my mouth? If you think that you can't take those words, then don't say it, if you feel that you can bear it, then boldly say it, after all, you can't hold yourself back for that child, right?"
Hearing the old lady's teasing, Tang Caiping could not help but burst out laughing.
"Mom, am I the narrow-minded type? If that girl didn't do anything wrong, why am I scolding her for no reason? If she did something wrong, I'd say she was right, wouldn't I? "
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right!"
The daughter-in-law sat in the warm room for a while longer before returning to the villa. Tang Caiping had not eaten anything since he got up, so he was feeling a little hungry.
