A man trying to seduce the police captain: Captain Lu, you're doomed!

As soon as he finished speaking, the car door was gently pulled open.

Because the car was fitted with high-specification privacy film, they could clearly see the people outside from inside, while the people outside were completely unaware of the tender intimacy that had just taken place inside the car.

Standing outside the car door was Shen Wanyu, dressed in a well-tailored light apricot silk cheongsam, which accentuated her gentle and elegant temperament. Her eyes and brows naturally carried the softness of a woman from Jiangnan, and she bore a resemblance to Lu Chenyuan.

She reached out her hand to Su Wan, her tone incredibly soft, and she deliberately suppressed her authentic Shanghai accent, trying her best to speak standard and gentle Mandarin.

"Come on, little one, let Mom help you get out of the car."

She was afraid that Su Wan wouldn't understand the local dialect, so she deliberately accommodated her the whole time.

It was this tiny detail, almost unnoticed by others, that struck a chord with Su Wan, touching the softest spot in her heart.

She was someone who was easily moved by details; her nose suddenly tingled, her eyes instantly reddened, and she almost couldn't control the tears falling.

She stared blankly at the woman in front of her.

Those eyes were as gentle as a pool of spring water, just like the image of her long-gone mother in her memory and in old photographs.

Longing, emotion...

All of it rushed to my head in an instant, and my eyes welled up with tears.

When Shen Wanyu saw that her eyes were red, she was completely stunned.

She didn't say anything harsh, so how did she make her daughter-in-law cry on their first meeting?

The second son and the other person have already registered their marriage. They are family, it's a done deal. If she scares them, her son will blame her later.

Shen Wanyu tensed up instantly and subconsciously looked up at Lu Chenyuan in the driver's seat.

With a hint of panic in her eyes, she turned to Lu Zhenguo, who stood silently to the side.

"Hey, Lao Lu, come quick!"

Her tone was soft and flustered, her Wu dialect gentle and soft, like a nightingale singing in a valley, not the crisp and energetic Shanghai dialect, but rather the soft and mellow Suzhou dialect.

"I made my daughter cry, what should I do?"

Hearing this, Su Wan felt a shiver run through her body, and a gentle warmth spread from the bottom of her heart.

She was completely different from the sharp-tongued, picky, and difficult Shanghai mother-in-law she had imagined in TV dramas.

The person in front of me is gentle, soft, and cautious.

As soon as Shen Wanyu spoke, Lu Zhenguo, who had been standing not far away with a calm demeanor, slowly strolled over.

He was dressed in a dark-colored Tang suit with subtle patterns, and his posture was upright. He looked like someone who had been in a high position for many years, and he had an aura of authority that he commanded respect without being angry.

As he approached, he first put on a stern face, then shouted in a loud voice, his voice aimed directly at his son.

"How can it be your mother's fault? Isn't it you?"

"You bullied that girl until she cried. What happened on the street?"

Then he immediately turned to Su Wan, his tone softening unconsciously.

"Don't be afraid, talk to... me."

The voice was so loud that Su Wan instinctively trembled and froze in her seat.

She had rehearsed a thousand different scenarios for meeting the parents in her mind, but she never expected it to start like this.

He stood frozen in the passenger seat, opening his mouth several times but unable to utter a single syllable, while his reddened eyes slowly receded.

At this moment, an older servant quickly stepped forward with a smile to smooth things over.

He tried his best to speak in somewhat broken Mandarin, clearly having been instructed by his family beforehand to accommodate her.

"Oh dear, Miss Su, get off the bus quickly. You must be exhausted after such a long ride."

She thought about it again and quickly changed her words, smiling even more politely.

"No, you've already registered your marriage, you're husband and wife now, you can't call her Miss Su anymore, you have to call her—Second Young Mistress."

Su Wan was almost stunned; the feeling of being from a different era was so strange.

Just then, the other servants also gathered around, all trying their best to speak in broken Mandarin, being both enthusiastic and attentive.

"Come on, get off the bus. The food has been prepared and it's all hot."

"Come inside and rest."

A large group of people gathered around, and a warm feeling washed over them.

Only a short distance away, a woman with a cool demeanor and dressed in an elegant long dress stood quietly.

She didn't step forward, but just silently watched this side, her eyes filled with complex emotions, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

That was Lu Chenyuan's sister-in-law, Shu Yue.

Lu Chenyuan looked at the scene before him and found it both funny and absurd.

He ignored his father's questioning.

He glanced at Su Wan, then turned to Shen Wanyu.

Explain each word clearly and gently.

"Mom, she wasn't made to cry by you. She was just... touched."

"You've been so good to her, even changing your speaking habits specifically for her sake, afraid she wouldn't understand Shanghainese..."

"My Wanwan is a person who pays great attention to small details. You are so considerate to her, and she feels happy, which is why she cried."

His words were clear and straightforward, directly clearing up all the misunderstandings for Su Wan.

After saying that, he got out of the car first, walked around to the passenger side, bent down, and steadily lifted Su Wan out of the car.

Once she had landed steadily, she spoke to Lu Zhenguo and Shen Wanyu.

"Give her some time to adjust."

At this moment, Lu Chenyuan practically became her personal mouth double.

Su Wan glanced at him gratefully, her tense nerves easing slightly.

She pursed her lips and softly uttered two words.

"Thanks."

After hesitating for a while and mustering her courage several times, she finally raised her eyes and looked at the two elders in front of her, her voice soft yet clear.

"Mom and Dad."

The sound of calling out "Mom and Dad" made Lu Zhenguo's old face flush slightly.

Fortunately, it was already dark and the lights were dim, so no one could see that the tips of his ears were slightly red.

Shen Wanyu's heart melted instantly.

For some reason, the moment she saw this girl with her clear, pure eyes, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she were seeing her younger self.

It's not that they look alike, but rather that clean, untainted temperament that's so rare among young people today.

She stepped forward and took Su Wan's hand tightly, her palm warm and soft.

"Here, I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I made a little of everything. Come and take a look."

"I heard from Shen Yuan that you like spicy food. We Shanghainese usually prefer mild flavors and don't like spicy food, so I specially asked the chef to prepare a few spicy dishes for you. Try them and see if they suit your taste."

"This chef is newly hired, and his skills are quite good. If you come back in the future, have him come over and cook for you."

Shen Wanyu held her hand and walked very slowly, completely accommodating her pace.

Lu Zhenguo stood to the side, his face still serious as he stared ahead, but his aura had softened considerably, losing its previous fierceness.

He nodded to himself.

His son, in the end, took after him.

This girl looks a lot like my wife when she was young.

They don't look alike, but they share the same pure and passionate spirit.

Lu Chenyuan walked to Su Wan's left, his arm naturally around her waist, gently supporting her as they walked into the house together.

Upon reaching the entrance, Su Wan habitually bent down to change her shoes, but Shen Wanyu quickly stopped her.

"No need, no need. Your shoes aren't dirty. The cleaning lady can clean them in a bit."

"Mom, you're being too polite to her. She'll feel uncomfortable."

Lu Chenyuan said softly from the side.

"Let me change it for her."

He knew Su Wan's personality too well. Being too polite or distant would only make her feel like an outsider and uneasy.

Perhaps it would be better to let her adapt to local customs and feel more at ease.
