Xu Yun was very emotional and repeatedly told Sheng Tang that Yan Jinzhi was only around Sheng Tang’s age.
Seeing that she was about to lose her temper, Sheng Tang decided not to tell her that Yan Jinzhi was her high school classmate.
Back when Yan Jinzhi got into trouble and was sent to Australia by Chairman Yan, Sheng Tang lost contact with her. Now, more than six years had passed.
She never expected that she would actually be with Xu Bingzhi...
Sheng Tang didn’t consider Xu Bingzhi her father. To her, he was a somewhat familiar stranger, so it didn’t really affect her who he married.
Yan Jinzhi had always admired older people. Her feelings for Xu Bingzhi might indeed be love.
Xu Bingzhi had always been sharp. He must have seen Yan Jinzhi’s sincerity, which was why he wanted to marry her.
Besides, Xu Bingzhi had never been married his whole life; his three children were all born out of wedlock. If he wanted to have a small family of his own and found someone suitable, it was understandable.
Anyway, Sheng Tang didn’t recognize Xu Bingzhi, so she didn’t need to call Yan Jinzhi "Mom."
Still, thinking about Xu Yun’s endless complaints in the future, Sheng Tang felt a bit of a headache.
Sheng Tang and Xu Yun hadn’t finished their meal when another phone call came in.
It was from her younger brother, Xu Kai.
"Sis, is Xu Yun at your place?" Xu Kai asked.
"Yes, I’ve picked her up," Sheng Tang said. "Tell your father, let the family know not to worry."
"Oh, I’ll call and let him know in a bit," Xu Kai replied.
Sheng Tang had a bad feeling: "Where are you?"
"Sis, don’t get angry, I’m at the South District Airport. Give me your address, I don’t need you to pick me up, I’ll take a taxi. Really." Xu Kai was very polite.
Sheng Tang: "..."
Gee, thanks for your consideration!
Sheng Tang arranged for Xu Yun and the newly arrived Xu Kai to stay at a nearby hotel, then went home herself.
Gu Jiahui called in the evening to ask her about her plans for the night.
"I don’t have any plans. I’m taking two kids back to my parents’ house tonight," Sheng Tang said.
She planned to bring Xu Yun and Xu Kai to her parents’ house for a meal, then have her dad call Xu Bingzhi.
"What kids?"
Sheng Tang didn’t explain in detail.
When they got back, Sheng Zong had just arrived too.
The three of them became very close as soon as they met, especially Xu Yun, constantly calling Sheng Zong "brother" and quickly winning him over as if they were biologically related.
After dinner, Professor Sheng called Xu Bingzhi.
Sheng Zong proactively said to Sheng Tang, "Sis, if you’re busy, go ahead. I can take them out to have some fun. Do you guys want to visit my school?"
"Sure!"
"Brother, how about we rent a boat and go out to sea?" Xu Kai eagerly suggested.
Sheng Tang: "..."
Leaving the two troublemakers to Sheng Zong, Sheng Tang was finally able to catch her breath.
Sheng Tang stayed at her parents’ house that evening.
When it was past nine at night, she received a call from Xu Bingzhi.
Over the years, Xu Bingzhi occasionally called her, but Sheng Tang never answered, making it clear that she didn’t want any involvement with him.
But since Xu Yun and Xu Kai had come over, Sheng Tang figured he was worried, so she answered the call.
The first few sentences were still quite awkward.
Xu Bingzhi didn’t ramble and quickly got to the point of his call.
"...I heard from Jinzhi that you were her high school classmate." Xu Bingzhi lightly coughed, "Does that bother you?"
Sheng Tang: "Uncle Xu, this has nothing to do with me. Besides, you’re an adult, and so am I. Adults should know that many things need to be handled with discretion. For you to ask me this, I think it’s a bit over the top."
Hearing such cold words, Xu Bingzhi sighed.
