"Bought it?"
Lu Zhenguo paused for a moment, then looked at Lu Chenyuan with some surprise.
"How come I didn't know you bought a house in Seoul? You didn't tell me before."
Lu Chenyuan scratched his head, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, and said casually.
"I don't remember either. I was probably too busy before and forgot to tell you."
"Didn't you give me a card with a hundred million in it?"
"I spent over three million on a diamond ring and nearly eight million on a house."
"The house is registered in Wanwan's name. It's a gift from me to her, and also a way to give her a sense of security."
"Um."
Lu Zhenguo nodded, a smile of approval on his face, and said with certainty.
"This approach is correct and well done."
When Lu Chenyuan mentioned putting the house in her name, Su Wan subconsciously looked at Lu's parents.
My heart tightened slightly, filled with tension and unease.
I was worried that I would see strange expressions on their faces, and that they would think I was vain.
I'm worried they'll object.
I felt really embarrassed, thinking I shouldn't have accepted such an expensive gift.
But to her utter surprise, Shen Wanyu's expression remained cheerful.
His face was full of smiles, without the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.
Lu's father also expressed his agreement and even praised Lu Chenyuan for doing the right thing, without the slightest objection.
"You know, before you get married, you should give Wanwan some sense of security. Giving her a house is the right thing to do."
Shen Wanyu held Su Wan's hand, her tone gentle and sincere.
He patted her reassuringly.
Then she turned her gaze to Lu Chenyuan.
"That will make her feel more at ease."
"It will also let her know that we, Chen Yuan, are truly sincere towards her."
"Our Lu family truly accepts her and will not let her suffer any injustice."
Su Wan was completely stunned and dumbfounded.
His eyes were wide open, and his face was full of disbelief.
Having sold houses in Seoul for so many years, she has seen too many couples and spouses break up, quarrel, or even never speak to each other again over a house.
Couples about to get married often argue fiercely, like enemies, over whether or not to add their names to the property deed and who owns the house.
Some even completely ruined long-term relationships because of a house, regretting it for the rest of their lives.
She never imagined that Lu Chenyuan's family wouldn't mind these things at all.
He didn't mind that she didn't have a good family background, and he didn't mind that she accepted such an expensive diamond ring and house from Lu Chenyuan.
On the contrary, they felt that this was the right thing to do, and that it was to give her a sense of security.
This understanding and thoughtfulness warmed her heart.
She was also somewhat flattered, and her eyes reddened again.
She paused for a moment, then spoke her mind without any concealment, her tone filled with doubt and unease, and a hint of barely perceptible inferiority.
"You...you don't mind?"
"What do you mind?"
Shen Wanyu looked at her strangely, but still had a gentle smile on her face.
His eyes were full of doubt, not understanding why Su Wan would ask such a question.
"Don't you think I'm a materialistic person, accepting such an expensive diamond ring and a house from your son before we even got married, and... and that I don't have any family background, my family is just average, and I'm not good enough for your son?"
Su Wan took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and asked about her worries and insecurities, her voice trembling slightly.
"I will never feel at ease if I don't bring this up."
"This is what I was most worried about when I came to the Lu family."
"I'm worried that you'll look down on me, I'm worried that you'll think I'm not good enough for Shen Yuan."
"This has almost become a source of anxiety for both Lu Chenyuan and me."
"Although you have shown me your approval and affection from last night until now, and have been very kind to me, I still want to speak frankly and openly. I don't want to hide anything or create any distance between us."
Su Wan's voice grew softer and softer, her eyes filled with inferiority and unease.
"Not only that, but knowing he had a girlfriend, I drove away his original, rather outstanding girlfriend and actively pursued him. I was completely shameless and shamelessly got together with him. You...you really don't mind?"
After saying those two sentences, Su Wan felt a lot more relaxed, but she became even more nervous.
He gripped Shen Wanyu's hand tightly, his fingertips trembling slightly.
Her eyes were full of anxiety, fearing she would hear a negative answer from Mr. and Mrs. Lu.
She was afraid that they would look down on her because of this and would oppose her being with Lu Chenyuan.
Shen Wanyu was taken aback, clearly not expecting Su Wan to say such a thing.
The smile on her face slowly faded, and her eyes showed more heartache and pity.
Then, she smiled gently, but as she smiled, her eyes slowly reddened.
Tears welled up in my eyes and almost fell.
She suddenly felt a pang of sadness for no apparent reason, not for any other reason than that the inferiority complex in Su Wan's eyes and the deep-seated unease in them were etched into her mind at that moment.
It stirred up old memories deep within her heart.
Those decades-old, unbearable years resurfaced before her eyes.
Those were turbulent and turbulent times, a time of upheaval and uncertainty, when people were filled with anxiety and fear.
During that period, she lived a life worse than death.
For three whole years, she couldn't hold her head up high because of the label of "capitalist's daughter."
Wherever I go, I am pointed at, ostracized, and looked down upon. I even feel like I have to be careful when I breathe.
Not only that, but some people also forced her to marry a capitalist's son who was of the same social class as her.
Someone she dislikes, or even loathes.
During that time, she even felt that her life had lost all hope, leaving only endless darkness and despair.
Lu Zhenguo was a favorite of the leaders at the time. He was young, promising, and had impeccable political background, making him the envy of everyone.
She fell in love with him at first sight.
That kind of affection was carefully kept hidden in the heart, never daring to let anyone know, much less to express it.
She knew that he liked her too, and the occasional look he gave her was filled with tenderness and pity.
But she also knew that she could never get close to him.
And he absolutely cannot marry her.
He has impeccable revolutionary credentials; he's a revolutionary cadre. How could he marry a capitalist's daughter?
Moreover, she has so-called relatives in Taiwan.
At the time, this was a huge taboo.
It will affect his future and may even ruin his reputation.
During that period, she was so self-conscious that she almost became withdrawn.
I hide in my room every day, afraid to go out or see anyone.
Ultimately, under pressure, she accepted someone else's marriage proposal.
She was about to marry someone she didn't love, and accept her tragic fate.
When she was at her most desperate, it was Lu Zhenguo who gave up everything, disregarded everyone's opposition, his own future, and the opinions of the world, and forcefully pulled her back from the abyss of inferiority.
And he married her regardless of everything.
Those were difficult times for them; they faced ostracism and criticism from many people.
Lu Zhenguo was also implicated because he married her; he was demoted and sidelined.
But he never regretted it, and he never complained.
I've always been by her side, caring for her, protecting her, and giving her warmth and strength.
