Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1028 - 1027: There Is a Reason

However, this time, he was actually right.

Tangtang was indeed waiting for him. "Yes, I was waiting for you. Do you have time? How about we have a chat."

Hearing that Tangtang wanted to talk alone with him, Su Xiao was naturally very happy. He always tried his best to meet Tangtang’s requests.

Because he didn’t want the girl he liked to be disappointed.

In the small room of the tea house.

At this moment, there was no one else, so Guoguo felt it was inappropriate to be a third wheel. She had already gone outside to play with her phone.

Close proximity makes things easier; at this moment, this was what Su Xiao was thinking. He had grown up with Tangtang, so he believed he must have a place in her heart.

Surely, out of consideration, old man Huyan wouldn’t refuse him as a son-in-law. Now, he just needed to win over Tangtang.

However, the thoughts of a girl aren’t that easy to understand. Just like now, although Su Xiao was sitting next to Tangtang, he didn’t know what she wanted to talk about.

In fact, he didn’t even dare to say a word.

With other people, Su Xiao wasn’t like this at all. Perhaps, when faced with the person one likes, everyone behaves this way. As the saying goes, ’Ten miles of spring breeze is not as lovely as you.’

"Su Xiao, what have you been busy with lately?" Tangtang thought for a bit. Since she was asking for a favor,

she should at least show some proper attitude, at least to let him know she wasn’t approaching him just because she needed something.

"I’m doing well. What about you? What have you been busy with? I haven’t seen you and Guoguo around. It’s only been a few days since we last met, and you’ve lost weight."

"No, I’m fine. Just trying to lose weight. By the way, why are you here today?"

Tangtang hesitated several times but eventually voiced her doubt. After all, this tea house wasn’t a place just anyone could come to.

Moreover, the expenses here weren’t low. Just from the decor, one could tell.

Clearly, Su Xiao seemed to sense something. Looking at Tangtang, the girl in front of him suddenly felt unfamiliar for some reason.

Perhaps, as time goes by, people change. Su Xiao’s memories of Tangtang only lingered in the past. "Oh, the owner of this tea house is a good friend of mine. He asked me to come over today to play chess, nothing else."

Tangtang could tell from Su Xiao’s eyes that he was lying to her. Clearly, the real situation wasn’t like this.

"Su Xiao, we’ve been friends for many years. I have something to tell you. This matter might involve the major groups in Jiang City. You have to keep this confidential for me."

It turned out the owner of this tea house was already at the late stage of cancer and didn’t have much time left in this world.

The reason for opening this tea house was just to wait for someone. He knew the truth about what happened back then.

It was Su Zhong who wronged his wife.

After hearing all this, Su Xiao felt incredible. No wonder Suzhou’s mother was so pitiful.

The owner of the tea house had forbidden Su Xiao from telling anyone, which is why he hadn’t told Tangtang. This matter also involved old man Huyan.

Presumably, Huyan Zhuo was also involved in the events from back then. If Tangtang knew about this, it would be too much for her to bear.

After much consideration, Su Xiao decided not to tell Tangtang. It was a kind lie.

However, what Su Xiao didn’t expect was that Tangtang was so smart. How could she not notice when something was off? Back then, she had grown up with Su Xiao, and she could tell with just one look if he was lying.

"Su Xiao, we’ve known each other for so many years. Can’t you just tell me the truth? I know you lied to me just now."

Tangtang felt puzzled. Su Xiao always treated her well, yet today he had deceived her, which was hard for her to accept.

"I... Tangtang, some things are better left unknown. I’m doing this to protect you. The adult world, we don’t understand it."

Ha, what an ’adult world, we don’t understand.’ She wasn’t a child anymore. There wasn’t any situation she hadn’t encountered.

Back when she was in the tongzi building, she had been through so much. Now, she was mentally mature, and someone who hadn’t experienced life and death was here preaching some great philosophy to her.

Little did they know, everyone understands lofty principles, but minor emotions are often hard to control.

Seeing Su Xiao so troubled and unwilling to tell her the truth only fueled Tangtang’s curiosity further. Today, she was determined to get an explanation from Su Xiao.

"Tell me, rest assured, I can accept anything. We grew up together; you surely wouldn’t refuse to share this with me." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Su Xiao scratched his head, troubled. He knew Tangtang’s personality. Once she was interested in something, she’d break through all barriers to get to the bottom of it.

She wouldn’t stop until her goal was reached.

"Alright, since you put it that way, then I can only go against my friend’s wishes."

After reconsidering repeatedly, he thought this matter involved old man Huyan, and letting Tangtang know would have certain benefits. After all, nobody knew what the truth really was back then.

Looking at Tangtang’s curious expression, Su Xiao hesitated. If the woman in front of him learned that her father wasn’t as great as she thought,

how would she feel about the differences before and after learning the truth? The gap would surely be significant.

But then again, why would a man like old man Huyan, with such a virtuous appearance, do something so foolish back then?

"Tangtang, I can tell you everything I know, but you must promise me one condition."

Given the situation, Tangtang nodded without hesitation. She was very eager to know what the tea house owner had told Su Xiao.

Using her sixth sense as a woman, Tangtang felt this was no trivial matter; it might even be the very reason she came here.

"Okay, tell me what’s your relationship with that man named Xu Ke. How did you meet him?"

Upon hearing this, Tangtang was stunned. She didn’t expect Su Xiao to be so well-informed.

He even knew about Xu Ke’s existence.

Seeing Tangtang’s expression, Su Xiao felt very disappointed, quite let down in his heart.

"I know him, but I have no relationship with him. You could say we’re half friends, I guess?"

Half friends?

Hearing Tangtang’s reply, Su Xiao finally felt a bit better. He suddenly thought the tea house’s decor was nice, quite warm.

Most importantly, the person he liked was sitting beside him, naturally lifting his mood.

However, sitting next to him, Tangtang wasn’t thinking the same. "Now, can you answer my question? Xu Ke hasn’t done anything against you, right? I don’t even know why you’re asking about him."

Tangtang looked innocent.
