A domineering CEO falls in love with me, an unmarried mother of seven!

Chapter 279 The Party the Night Before the Wedding

The Su Yingxue of today is no longer the fragile woman who faced the storms of life alone. She has learned to filter out the unpleasant people and harsh words in this complex world. She knows that her happiness lies in the people who love her, not in the opinions of others.

After a warm family dinner, Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue took the seven children back to their old house. The children's laughter still echoed in the air as Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue turned and left. Su Yingxue returned to her room, packed some personal belongings, and then Tan Zhengchu accompanied her to the old-style villa in Zhucheng.

The two didn't speak much along the way, but their eyes occasionally met, conveying a thousand words.

Outside the car window, the city's neon lights flickered, like a sea of ​​light. Soon, they arrived in front of the old-fashioned villa.

As soon as Su Yingxue got out of the car, she saw the dark marks on the outer wall of the villa. Her heart skipped a beat, and she asked softly, "Zhengchu, is this where your father was burned on the face?" Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of touching the deep pain in Tan Zhengchu's heart.

Tan Zhengchu's expression turned serious. He slowly nodded, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes.

Su Yingxue felt a pang of heartache. She gently leaned on Tan Zhengchu's shoulder and said softly, "Zhengchu, it's all in the past." She knew that the past was a wound that was difficult for Tan Zhengchu to heal, but she hoped that her companionship would help him gradually let go.

At that moment, Su Yingxue understood Tan Zhengchu's inner softness and fear perfectly. She hugged Tan Zhengchu tightly, as if trying to build a barrier for him against the pain of the past with her embrace.

As Tan Zhengchu felt Su Yingxue's warmth, the gloom in his heart seemed to lessen a bit.

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Yingxue, it's all over now, let's go upstairs."

As the two walked towards the villa, a sense of worry arose in Su Yingxue's heart. She asked softly, "Does my mother live alone in this villa? I'm a little worried." The thought of her mother living alone in this somewhat gloomy villa made her uneasy.

Tan Zhengchu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a teasing smile: "Oh, even our Su Yingxue can be scared."

However, he quickly put away his smile and explained seriously, "Don't worry, I've already arranged for people to guard this place and mobilized the servants to ensure your mother's safety."

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She looked up, her gaze meeting Tan Zhengchu's, and a bright smile appeared on her face, a smile full of gratitude.

"Zhengchu, you're getting better and better at talking now." Su Yingxue teased with a smile, recalling how cold and aloof Tan Zhengchu was when she first met him, but now he was so considerate and thoughtful, which made her feel a lot of emotions.

Tan Zhengchu held Su Yingxue firmly in his arms, and the two walked in unison into the villa.

Upon entering the villa, Su Yingxue was immediately captivated by the scene before her.

Inside the spacious hall, servants were busily moving about, meticulously decorating the house. Colorful streamers and twinkling lights made the entire hall exceptionally warm and inviting.

The air was filled with a rich aroma of food, an enticing scent that blended various delicious flavors.

Su Yingxue took a deep breath, her face full of curiosity, and turned to look at Tan Zhengchu, asking softly, "Zhengchu, this smells so tempting, is there a late-night snack tonight?"

Looking at her adorable appearance, Tan Zhengchu smiled slightly, nodded indulgently, and said, "Yes, there will be lots of delicious food. I guarantee you'll have a feast."

This late-night snack is rooted in the unique customs of the Li family.

In the Li family, on the night before a woman's wedding, relatives and friends would come to congratulate her. Everyone would gather together, eat late-night snacks, drink wine, and share the joy.

This time, it is Li Yuzhu who is about to get married.

Tan Zhengchu and Tan Zhengfan, as representatives of her relatives and friends, naturally participated as well.

They thought they should definitely have a good drink with Li Yuzhu's mother to add more joy to this happy occasion.

As they were talking, the third brother staggered down from upstairs.

As he walked, he reached out and touched his stomach, a hint of complaint on his face: "Oh dear, I'm starving."

He stopped in front of Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue and said accusingly, "Why are you two so late? Lin Quan and I have been here for ages."

The third brother's carefree and easygoing personality was on full display at this moment.

Before Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue could respond, the third brother urged them again, "Don't just stand here, hurry upstairs to see your aunt. She's waiting for you upstairs, and A-Qian is chatting with her." As the third brother spoke, there was a hint of urgency in his eyes, as if he was urging them to hurry up and complete this important meeting.

Su Yingxue nodded after hearing what the third brother said, but still looked at him with concern and asked, "Third brother, when are you and A Qian getting married? Your relationship is so unpredictable, it's really worrying." Su Yingxue was genuinely concerned, hoping that the third brother and A Qian would have a good outcome.

Upon hearing this, the third brother broke into a wide smile, a smile brimming with confidence: "Haha, sister-in-law, don't worry about me and A-Qian. I know what I'm doing and I'll definitely treat A-Qian well." After saying this, the third brother patted his chest to show his determination.

After the third brother finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the restaurant, intending to fill his already protesting stomach first.

After the third brother left, Tan Zhengchu gently hugged Su Yingxue, his voice gentle yet firm: "Don't worry about them. Let's go upstairs and see Mom. Let the third brother and A Qian handle their own affairs."

As Tan Zhengchu spoke, he took Su Yingxue's hand and walked towards the stairs, preparing to go upstairs to see Li Yuzhu.

Su Yingxue and Tan Zhengchu entered Li Yuzhu's bedroom hand in hand.

As soon as she opened the door, Su Yingxue was captivated by the scene before her.

The room is filled with a classic atmosphere, and the furniture and furnishings seem to have been frozen in time more than 20 years ago.

The carved wooden wardrobe exudes a rustic luster, while the exquisite old-fashioned dressing table displays a few simple yet elegant grooming items.

The whole room is like a corner forgotten by time, yet it retains a unique charm.

Su Yingxue couldn't help but sigh softly, "Zhengchu, I really love the style of Grandma's room. It still retains its unique charm after all these years. Grandma's taste has always been so good."

As she said this, her eyes were full of admiration, as if she could see traces of her mother-in-law's past in this room.
