Chapter 464 Three Trials
Ning Xueyan told him, "Don't press Tingnan. She knows what she's doing. If she doesn't want to talk about it, there must be a reason. She's so filial, she definitely doesn't want to lie to us."
“That’s true, this child, just like her master, has had a bumpy road in love!” Gao Haoran nodded.
"What... what are you saying? You've already heard about Nan, how did you end up dragging yourself into this?" Ning Xueyan blushed with embarrassment. She really wanted to show outsiders what kind of face Master Gao, who usually acted so respectable, really had in private. She had only avoided him for a while before, so why was he so vengeful?
After Song Tingnan left, Zhong Shengli had no choice but to send Tao Danying back, as he couldn't take care of the child by himself.
After the restaurant closed for the night, Tao Huahua was subjected to a "tribunal hearing".
Tao's father asked sternly, "Huahua, Zhong Shengli is the reason you married Nannan's father. Can't you let go of that?"
"Tao Huahua, you've neglected everything at the hotel these past few days, looking completely distracted, all because of Zhong Shengli. You knew he was back, didn't you? That's why you went to Teacher Jiang's house last time, wasn't it? And whenever those two were together, you forced Nannan on him and Tingnan. What were you thinking?" Tao's mother's face darkened. No one knows a daughter better than her mother. She thought her daughter had moved on, but...
“Tao Huahua, say something! What are you thinking? Every time Zhong Shengli appears, you try to get close to him, approaching him repeatedly, or you try to push Dan Ying onto him. I’m embarrassed for you. How can you be so shameless? Aren’t you afraid Ting Nan will find out?” Tao’s father was also very disappointed in her.
"Yes, you should know that Tingnan is dating him. She's your good friend. How can you be so shameless? Do you think everyone else is stupid? Have you forgotten how much effort Tingnan put in to help you escape that misery? Are you going to repay kindness with enmity?" Tao's mother slapped her daughter's arm hard.
"Mom! I...I didn't know they were dating."
“What nonsense are you talking about? Anyone with eyes can see it! Didn’t you see it? The way Zhong Shengli looked at Ting Nan was so sincere. They even went to Teacher Jiang’s house together. Don’t you understand what that means? I really don’t understand. Ting Nan is getting on in years and should get married. You’re her friend, so why are you pretending to be stupid and squeezing in between them?” Tao’s father was embarrassed to say.
"I... I heard Nan say before that she doesn't like Zhong Shengli!"
"Before? How long ago? When you were in school, I guess. You were young then, so of course your studies were the priority. They've gotten together now, that's fate. As their mutual friend, you should wish them well!" Tao's mother also earnestly advised, "You should focus on running the restaurant and taking care of your daughter. If you meet the right person, we'll agree to you marrying into their family or having a son-in-law live with you. Even if you don't remarry, with this restaurant, you and your daughter will live comfortably."
"Why should I bless them? Who is your daughter anyway? You always listen to Nan, listen to Nan. Don't you know why I married Nan's father? I chose him because he looks like Zhong Shengli. Now that he's finally back, what's wrong with me pursuing what I like?"
"You...you...Tao Hua, are you bewitched? Does she have even the slightest affection for you? Did she come back for you?" The usually gentle Tao's mother forcefully suppressed the urge to slap her daughter.
“It’s none of your business. What did I do? I just gave him the chance to choose for himself. What’s so great about Song Tingnan? She’s just a country girl. Who knows what she’s been up to outside? I’m more suited to Zhong Shengli…” Tao Huahua slammed the door and left.
