36 Chapter 36 (1/2)
Su Le thought that the gazes of Zhuang Wei's parents were somewhat complex. When she first met the couple, the 2 seniors were slightly solemn but they were very well-mannered. Zhuang Wei's father had been a carpenter when he was younger and opened a furniture factory later on. Then his business got larger and larger and reached to the current stage today. And the original furniture factory has become a home appliance and furniture manufacturing company.
When they saw Su Le, the 2 seniors felt somewhat uncomfortable because they knew what their son was like. They were satisfied with Su Le being their son's girlfriend and believed that she would be a good wife. However, they never imagined that their son would do something like two-timing. It made them feel extremely embarrassed. And now, allowing Su Le to watch Zhuang Wei on a blind date as well, they felt even worse.
”Uncle, Auntie.” Su Le saw their table was not far from them so she turned around and greeted the 2 seniors. Although she had gotten rid of Zhuang Wei, she still treated the seniors with the respect that they deserved from the younger generation.
”Xiao Le.” Zhuang Le's mother smiled awkwardly. ”You also came to drink tea?”
”Yes. It's a weekend so I came out with a colleague to drink tea and shop,” Su Le smiled at Zhuang Wei's mother. Then she glanced at the young lady on the side. She was quite pretty, Su Le then said, ”It seems that Auntie and Uncle have to settle some matters now so I won't disturb you any longer. My friend and I were planning to leave soon anyway.”
”Yes, we do have to settle a few matters.” Zhuang Wei's mother smiled awkwardly and replied, ”If you have time in the future, do come to our house for a visit.” After speaking, she realised that what she said was inappropriate but since she had already said it out loud, she could not possibly take it back.
”I hope that Auntie and Uncle will not mind the trouble if I do visit.” Su Le thought that it wasn't necessary to make the situation more difficult for the 2 seniors so she smiled and let the matter go.
Hearing Su Le respond like this, Zhuang Wei's parents felt even more apologetic. The Su Le in front of them was wearing a fitting blouse matched with a fashionable suit. Even though her clothes were simple, Su Le's outfit gave off a neat and refreshing feel. It was much better than the other woman. Zhuang Wei's mother wasn't sure what family would raise a daughter like that and also wasn't sure what caused her son to do such a terrible thing.
Zhuang Wei's mother was also a stubborn woman and she knew how much a woman suffered when such a matter occurred. The fact that Su Le was still willing to call her ”Auntie” already made her feel fortunate.
”Su Le,” Zhuang Wei never thought he would meet Su Le in this place. Seeing her still so polite and courteous to his parents, he was moved and he couldn't help but ask, ”I gave you a call two days ago but it never went through. Are you okay?”
Su Le forcefully curved her lips into a smile, ”Thank you for Mr Zhuang's concern, I have just changed my number. That's all.”
When Zhuang Wei heard this, his expression instantly turned sour. Su Le had changed their number, but he hadn't been informed of it. What was that supposed to mean? He saw that Su Le had many things placed next to her and the items were not of cheap brands. He was somewhat stunned as he remembered what it was like when Su Le bought clothes and shoes in the past. Although they weren't from expensive brands, they were still not bad, but he never asked Su Le where her money came from. He remembered that back when they were in university, Su Le had taken him out to eat at an expensive restaurant. It had the French food that he liked to eat. Though he couldn't remember the name of the restaurant, he remembered that the meal had cost her twenty thousand dollars and he had forgotten where that money had come from.
Maybe Su Le had always lived well, and it was him who never truly cared about Su Le. He also never thought about where she got all her clothing and jewellery from whenever he brought Su Le to important occasions or events. He only knew she was a stubborn person so he never asked or interfered with Su Le, and in the end, he ended up neglecting her.

”Mr and Mrs Zhuang, Mr and Mrs Yang, it is such a coincidence to meet you here today.” After Wei Chu learnt that Su Le was in a tea shop and that they had bought many things, he thought for moment before deciding that it would be best if he came and picked her up. But he never thought that as soon as he entered the shop, he would see people from both the Zhuang and Yang family. It appeared that Zhuang Wei was on a blind date with the Yang family's second daughter.
”CEO Wei,” Zhuang Wei's father looked at Wei Chu with respect. Even though he was older than Wei Chu, the Zhuang family's business was no better than Wei Chu's company. ”I didn't think that CEO Wei would also come to drink tea. Would you like to join us?”
When the Yang family heard this, they also invited Wei Chu to join them. After all, having more connections was beneficial in business.
”It's okay. I just came to pick my girlfriend up.” Wei Chu smiled warmly, ”When girls see pretty things, they just want to buy them. As a boyfriend, even if we don't have the time to accompany them, picking them up, carrying their things, and being their driver is not a problem.”
”Oh.” Zhuang Wei's father smiled as he said, ”I wonder which family's daughter is the lover of such a considerate person like CEO Wei? Us seniors would also like to meet her.”
”Mr Zhuang must be joking around. Mr Yang may not know my girlfriend, but you should be familiar with her.” After finishing his sentence, Wei Chu walked towards Su Le and held her hand. ”At first, I didn't know Mr Zhuang was also acquainted with Le Le, but maybe this is fate.”
When Su Le heard Wei Chu call her ”Le Le”, she trembled a little but her hand was held tightly by his, so she silently stared at a picture on the wall.
The two seniors from the Zhuang family looked at Wei Chu and then at their son. Even though parents are normally more partial to their children, they knew that deep down in their hearts, their son simply couldn't be compared with Wei Chu.
”Le Le, you shouldn't stand for such a long time, ”Wei Chu smiled as he let Su Le sit down again before turning back to the group of people. ”Mr Yang and Mr Zhuang still have things to discuss, right? Are we bothering you?”
”No, no.” Mr Yang smiled and disagreed before he complimented Su Le, ”CEO Wei's girlfriend is very beautiful. No wonder CEO Wei is so gentle and considerate to her.”
