Chapter 1025: Chapter 1022

"What? Marry into the family?"

Tong Xiaohua suddenly raised her voice in question, startling both her mother and the assistant.

"Xiaohua... your dad he..." Tong’s mother reached out, pulling on Tong Xiaohua’s arm, trying to soothe her emotions.

Tong Xiaohua forcefully shook off her hand, lowering her voice as she stared at her mother.

"Mom, how could you do this? You know very well what Yan Bo’s family background is, don’t you? His family, how could they possibly let him marry into ours? By doing this, you’re essentially forcing him to sever ties with his own family!"

Tong’s mother looked distressingly troubled, "I know that, of course, and I’ve told your father about it, but he said that none of us could make this decision, it had to be up to Xiao Yan himself."

Tong Xiaohua grabbed her mother’s hand in haste, "Mom, let’s go!"

Tong’s mother immediately understood her intention, "Xiaohua, you want to go find your dad now?"

Tong Xiaohua called out to the assistant, who had tactfully walked away to a distance, "Miss Chen, please tell Miss Zhao that we have an urgent matter and need to leave first. We’ll reschedule the fitting."

Having said that, she left the studio without looking back, dragging her mother with her.

The driver, who had been waiting in the car, saw his employers come out and quickly got out to meet them.

"Madam, Miss, you’re leaving so soon?"

"Brother Yang, you know where my dad and the others are having dinner, right?" Tong Xiaohua didn’t stop for a moment as she asked and headed for the car.

Brother Yang followed them, opening the car door in step, "Yes, I know. It’s at the Joyful Farmhouse in the North Suburb."

"Take us there!"

After giving the order, Tong Xiaohua got into the car and slammed the door shut.

Brother Yang, having served as the Tong Family’s driver for many years, had rarely seen the Miss so angry.

Without daring to ask any further, he quickly replied, then started the car, turned at the intersection, and headed towards the North Suburb.

After the car had passed a few intersections, and Tong’s mother, who had been cautiously observing her daughter’s face, finally spoke up to console her.

"Xiaohua, you should know that your dad is doing this for your own good!"

Tong Xiaohua’s expression changed slightly as she retorted in a low voice.

"What do you mean it’s for my good? If it was for my good, you should have just tossed that old burden to someone else from the beginning, not pushed it onto me! What does this mean now? Seeing that Yan Bo is easy to talk to, you want to draw him in so he can take on the burden of the Tong Family too?"

Tong’s mother was at a loss for words from Tong Xiaohua’s retort, fell silent for a long while before speaking hesitantly, "Xiaohua, I’m sorry..."

Tong Xiaohua was also taken aback for a moment and stared at her mother for a while before sighing and putting her arm around her shoulder.

"Mom, I didn’t mean to blame you! What I’m saying is, since dad started training me as his successor from the age of ten, and I accepted this decision then, no matter how difficult or painful, I will always carry this burden. Yan Bo is my boyfriend, and in the future, he will be my husband, but the burden of the Tong Family shouldn’t be his to bear. Yanhuang is an enterprise that the government strongly supports and has a bright future. His energy ought to be put into Yanhuang, not the Tong Family!"

Tong Xiaohua was very clear that if Yan Bo extended even the slightest hand towards the Tong Family, his hard-earned enterprise would be criticized for relying on the Tong Family to succeed.

Of course, Yan Bo might not mind, but she did.

Whether it was his enterprise or his self-respect, she wanted to help him maintain it all!

Tong Xiaohua’s words plunged her mother into deep thought.

After a long while, she reached out, gently patting Tong Xiaohua’s hand, "Xiaohua, Mom understands your feelings. In a while, I’ll help persuade your dad."

Tong Xiaohua leaned her head in, rubbing her face against her mother’s, apologizing guiltily,

"Mom, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been angry at you just now."

Master’s mom patted her head, "Fool, it was actually our fault, so it’s normal for you to be angry."

More than an hour later, the car drove into the farmhouse’s Parking Lot.

Tong Xiaohua, led by the manager, pushed open the door to the private room.

Inside the private room, around a dozen grown men surrounded a large round table, and at that moment, they were boisterously toasting and teasing each other—none of them had noticed the arrival of Tong Xiaohua and the others.

"Dad!" Tong Xiaohua called out crisply, her voice successfully overpowering the din of a dozen rough men, causing all of them to turn their heads in unison.

"Xiao Hua? Sister-in-law? What are you doing here?"

Everyone set down their wine glasses and crowded around.

Yan Bo, who had been accompanying Master Tong’s side, also set down his wine glass and walked over.

"Auntie Tong, Xiao Hua, why are you here? Weren’t you going for a fitting?"

Yan Bo took Tong Xiaohua’s hand and instinctively tried to feel the temperature of her hand.

Noticing her hand was somewhat cold, he couldn’t help but frown.

Tong Xiaohua ignored the other uncles’ inquiries and let Yan Bo hold her hand while her probing gaze swiftly circled his face.

Then, pulling him aside, she asked in a low voice, "Dad didn’t say anything excessive to you, did he?"

Yan Bo was completely bewildered, "Say what? No, Master Tong just introduced me to all the uncles one by one, and then, everyone started having fun drinking. We were just toasting Master Tong—you didn’t see?"

Tong Xiaohua didn’t quite believe it and asked again, "He didn’t mention our engagement?"

Yan Bo nodded, "That did come up, but it was only mentioned in passing. After all, I haven’t even successfully proposed yet! This matter, it’s not for Master Tong and me to decide, it’s for you to determine!"

As Yan Bo spoke, he wrapped his hands around hers, gently massaging them.

Tong Xiaohua finally let out a sigh of relief, "Remember, no matter what my dad says to you, don’t agree to him! If there’s anything, you must talk to me first."

Yan Bo was kind to her and to her parents.

So, she could almost be certain that if her dad really made those excessive demands, Yan Bo wouldn’t outright refuse.

Yan Bo looked puzzled but still nodded.

"Hmm, I got it."

Tong Xiaohua, assured by Yan Bo’s promise, then felt at ease.

Pulling Yan Bo back to the table, she picked up a wine glass and said to all the uncles seated around the table.

"All the uncles and masters here, sorry for borrowing Yan Bo for a moment. These few glasses of wine are my penalty for being brash and disrespectful."

With these words, Tong Xiaohua tilted her head back and drained the wine in one gulp.

After finishing, she signaled Yan Bo to fill her glass again, and then she downed two more glasses, only stopping after the persistent entreaties of all the uncles.

After drinking three glasses, Tong Xiaohua simply sat down next to Yan Bo, guarding against her dad actually saying anything excessive to Yan Bo.

On the other side, Master’s Mom was keeping a constant watch on Master Tong.

Perhaps because Master’s Mom and Tong Xiaohua were present, all the uncles didn’t dare to get too wild.

Finally, when the feast ended, Master Tong didn’t say anything strange after all.
