Chapter 280 Having me by your side is enough
Li Yuzhu was dressed in a light blue cheongsam embroidered with lifelike purple butterflies, which perfectly complemented her name "Yuzhu".
She reclined on a chaise lounge, a wine glass in her hand, the red liquid inside swirling gently. Her hair was casually draped over her shoulders; though in her forties, she still possessed captivating charm, her unique aura unforgettable.
At that moment, she was chatting enthusiastically with Ashen, occasionally letting out a clear laugh.
Seeing this, Su Yingxue couldn't help but whisper to Tan Zhengchu, "Grandma is so beautiful."
Her gaze remained fixed on Li Yuzhu, and she couldn't help but think that Tan Zhengchu's handsomeness must largely be due to inheriting his mother-in-law's beautiful genes.
Looking at his mother's current appearance, Tan Zhengchu's thoughts drifted back to the past.
His mother used to drink heavily every day, and her life was a complete mess. He always tried his best to stop her from drinking, but to little avail. At that time, his mother seemed to be shrouded in the shadows of life and had lost her radiance.
Now that her father has returned, her mother's world has regained its vibrant light, and she no longer needs to find a boyfriend to heal her emotional wounds.
Seeing his mother's happy appearance now, Tan Zhengchu felt gratified.
A-Qian, with her sharp eyes, saw Su Yingxue and Tan Zhengchu enter and immediately said with a smile, "Oh my, now I know why Tan Zhengchu is so good-looking. It's because Auntie is so beautiful!"
Asahi's words made the atmosphere in the room even more cheerful.
When Li Yuzhu saw Su Yingxue, a warm smile appeared on her face, and she invited her enthusiastically, "Yingxue, come over and sit next to me." As she spoke, she reached out and took Su Yingxue's hand, and the two held it tightly together.
Su Yingxue looked at her mother-in-law and gently reminded her, "Mother-in-law, you can't get drunk tonight. You'll be the most beautiful bride tomorrow." Li Yuzhu nodded slightly, her eyes filled with happiness, and said, "I know, I drank very little and tried my best to control myself. It's just that I still feel a little guilty towards Zhengchu over the years."
Su Yingxue thought for a moment and then earnestly suggested, "Mother-in-law, you can put on a face mask later so that your skin will be in its best condition tomorrow. Although I've never been married, I've done a lot of research and know that you shouldn't drink too much water the day before the wedding, so putting on a face mask is very important."
Li Yuzhu smiled and nodded, greatly appreciating Su Yingxue's thoughtfulness.
Tan Zhengchu sat to the side, listening quietly to their conversation.
He discovered that the world of women is truly amazing; they get incredibly excited when these topics come up, and he can't get a word in edgewise.
However, seeing his mother and Su Yingxue getting along so well filled him with warmth.
At this moment, Lin Quan walked in.
With a smile on his face, he walked up to Li Yuzhu and congratulated her, "Ms. Li, congratulations on your wedding tomorrow."
Li Yuzhu quickly stood up and said gratefully, "Dr. Lin, thank you so much. Old Tan's face is all thanks to you."
As she spoke, she gestured to the servant to pour Lin Quan a glass of red wine and said warmly, "Dr. Lin, please try it. This is rose wine that Ye Bai brewed himself."
When Lin Quan came in, Tan Zhengchu was the happiest person; he finally had someone to talk to.
The two quickly moved aside, and the maid promptly handed them red wine. The glasses clinked lightly, producing a crisp sound.
Under the soft lighting, the two chatted and drank, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Tan Zhengchu tilted his head back slightly, took a small sip of his drink, and then asked, "Lin Quan, how are things going with the Lin family?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Quan gently put down his wine glass and said calmly, "Grandpa has already handed over a lot of hospital affairs to me, and I've been getting busier and busier lately. However, this kind of life is quite fulfilling."
He paused slightly, a complex look flashing in his eyes, "As for Wei Hao, I have no hatred for him, I just hope he can change."
After listening, Tan Zhengchu reached out and patted Lin Quan on the shoulder, encouraging him, "You've done a great job. Now you've got the family and loved ones you wanted, and things will only get better from now on."
Just then, Tan Zhengfan strode in.
The moment he saw Tan Zhengchu, a smile immediately bloomed on his face, and his eyes were full of deep affection.
Tan Zhengfan walked quickly to Tan Zhengchu, his voice filled with gratitude: "Brother, it's been a long time."
Tan Zhengchu smiled and nodded in response.
Tan Zhengfan continued, "Brother, if it weren't for your help back then, I wouldn't be where I am today. I will always remember this kindness." Tan Zhengchu waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to worry about it.
Then, Tan Zhengchu earnestly instructed, "Xiao Fan, tomorrow is Mom's wedding, so I'll trouble you to take her there. Is that alright?"
Without hesitation, Tan Zhengfan immediately replied, "Brother, don't worry, you can rest assured leaving it to me."
A group of people went to the back garden on the first floor with great interest.
In the garden, the lights were dazzling, and the table was laden with a variety of exquisite late-night snacks.
Everyone sat together, laughing and chatting, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere.
Li Yuzhu stood up, raised her glass, her eyes filled with happiness and gratitude: "Thank you all for being with me tonight. I feel truly happy."
After saying that, she drank it all in one gulp.
Su Yingxue also picked up her wine glass, ready to drink, but Tan Zhengchu quickly grabbed her hand and gently dissuaded her, saying, "Yingxue, you can't hold your liquor, drink less."
Su Yingxue looked at Tan Zhengchu, a hint of reproach flashing in her eyes, but she still obediently put down her wine glass. The interaction between the two was sweet and natural.
At this moment, A-Qian's eyes lit up, and she moved closer to Su Yingxue, teasing her with a grin: "Yingxue, do you know? Your older brother will be attending the wedding tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue's eyes lit up instantly, and she said expectantly, "Really? I miss my older brother so much."
Tan Zhengchu, who was standing to the side, changed his expression slightly upon hearing this.
Seeing this, A-Qian deliberately continued, "I heard that your older brother is planning to give you a piece of land worth 200 million as your dowry."
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhengchu's face immediately darkened, and he said unhappily, "I, Tan Zhengchu, will treat Yingxue well. I don't need anyone else's dowry." As he spoke, he looked at Su Yingxue with a firm gaze, as if declaring his determination to the whole world.
A-Qian smiled slyly, secretly took out her phone, recorded Tan Zhengchu's words, and waved the phone, saying, "This can be considered a 'handle'; it might be useful in the future."
Su Yingxue looked at A Qian with some doubt and asked, "Is that piece of land real?"
A-Qian couldn't help but laugh out loud, and quickly waved her hand to deny it: "I'm just kidding, there's no land here."
Su Yingxue feigned disappointment and lowered her head slightly.
Seeing this, Tan Zhengchu felt heartbroken and quickly pulled her into his arms, comforting her, "Yingxue, it doesn't matter whether we have land or not, it's enough that I'm by your side."
