Chapter 1197: Chapter 1197: Extra Story of the Eel 34

Su’s dad felt that Su’s mom’s words were somewhat inappropriate. Though Su Man couldn’t find a boyfriend due to Li Li, it wasn’t entirely his fault.

Among the boys of her age who know Su Man, who hasn’t been hit by her?—They are all scared of her, who would dare pursue her?

However…

On the other hand, the Li Family’s actions in recent years have indeed made the couple uneasy.

A few years ago, they would still bring up the childhood engagement with a smile, discussing how great it would be to become in-laws. But now? They don’t mention it at all.

Actually, if you think about it from another perspective, Su’s dad can understand the other party, because the key issue is Li Li.

It’s because Li Li hasn’t clearly expressed his stance that his parents can only make jokes about it and can’t take the liberty of accepting Su Man as their daughter-in-law.

Speaking of which, Li Li is already 23 years old, and while his academic achievements are outstanding, his progress in romantic matters is non-existent.

Su’s dad is very worried.

If it were something else, parents could just use some logic to pull their children back, but when it comes to matters of the heart, no matter how much you explain it, the kids might not accept it.

Even if they understand logically, emotionally they might not follow it.

The more Su’s dad thinks about it, the more scared he feels.

If his daughter really gets fixated on Li Li, yet Li Li has no intention of marrying her, what should they do?

Heartbreak is hard to cure!

He suddenly felt his wife was too wise, and then he praised her on the phone, “You’re right, this matter… we absolutely need to keep a close watch. If Xiaolu is genuine, we shouldn’t hold the child back.”

After much thought, Su’s dad continued, “Here’s the plan, don’t stay at the hospital these days. Stay home, and observe well. See what mood and expressions the daughter has each time she comes back, and it’d be best to find out what she thinks about Xiaolu and about Li Li…”

Su’s mom replied, “Do I need you to tell me? I know my daughter well!”

Su’s dad said, “Previously, thinking of him as my lifesaver, I thought he had good character. But come to think of it, saving lives and nurturing does not necessarily mean he knows how to treat a wife. Some people look decent but are adept at cheating after marriage. We only know he runs a restaurant; we don’t know anything about his family’s background, what his parents do, you should try to probe a little…”

While speaking, he couldn’t help but sigh, “Ah, why is my heart feeling so uneasy?… If only Li Li was more proactive, knowing the situation well, and had no ill intentions…”

“Alright, alright, it’s not even close to being settled yet!” Su’s mom impatiently interrupted him, “I’ll call you when Manman comes back tonight.”

Pausing, Su’s mom remembered Su’s dad was still recuperating and added, “Or, how about when I bring you breakfast tomorrow morning, we talk then? I think Manman might come back quite late.”

“No problem, no problem, I’ll wait for your call. Make sure to call me,” Su’s dad emphasized.

Su’s mom: “Tsk, you just said I was anxious, I think you’re more anxious than me!”

…

Su Man had already arrived at the bottom of the restaurant building.

She followed the waiter’s lead into the elevator—

This French restaurant is located on the top floor of the building, with 85% of the walls made of glass, allowing diners to enjoy the Shanghai night view to the fullest, which is one of the restaurant’s main features.

When the elevator doors opened, stepping in, one could see the entire restaurant.

The lighting in the restaurant was generally dim; the piano music gently echoed like a clear spring, and the conversations among guests resembled whispers, all filled with French romance.

She looked around; most guests here were foreigners, just as Lu Yuwen had said, everyone was dressed formally.

A waiter approached with a smile, “Hello, are you Miss Su?”
