Chapter 178: 147 One doesn’t learn without being ruthless, it’s also forced (1st update)_1

Tang Su drove into the underground parking of Huanan Hospital, which happened to be the shift change time. Some were leaving work, and the night shift staff were just arriving for their duties.

Huanan Hospital was a second-tier comprehensive hospital with many departments, medical personnel, and nurses, totaling over a thousand people.

But not all thousand were on duty at the same time.

Otherwise the hustle and bustle would be too overwhelming; the parking garage must have been highly competitive among colleagues on a daily basis.

For many colleagues from various departments, they probably only met once a year during the annual dinner at the year’s end.

Even so, Lu Han was a celebrity throughout the hospital. The car Lu Han drove was actually quite modest for the general public, except that most ordinary people could only afford it in their forties or fifties.

Youth usually meant no savings, with high salaries matched by high spending.

Therefore, Lu Han being able to become a department head at such a young age, and driving such a car, was quite impressive in its own right.

What did a modest family background represent? His personal excellence was, after all, the draw for many mothers-in-law with a vision for long-term investment.

Could the number of young ladies chasing Lu Han be small?

From a distance, when Lu Han’s car entered, colleagues who were already in their cars honked their horns as a greeting, while those who hadn’t had a chance to get in their cars prepared to greet him in person.

However, when everyone saw that it was Tang Su sitting in the driver’s seat, and knew about Lu Han’s sister coming to their hospital with a fever to get IV fluids to reduce it, they naturally confirmed Tang Su’s "identity."

Those colleagues who were slower on the uptake were totally baffled.

Who is this young lady?

She can actually drive Doctor Lu’s car?

What’s their relationship?

Could it be that Doctor Lu has finally managed to charm a young girl?

From the moment Tang Su entered the parking garage until she stopped the car, she was already the subject of much speculation.

"Don’t talk nonsense, she’s Doctor Lu’s sister." Hearing that some misunderstood Lu Han as romancing a much younger woman, someone stepped in to defend Lu Han.

Tang Su may look young, but she’s of legal age, and the fact that she has so much free time suggests that she’s not enrolled in university.

If she’s not in school, she must be at least twenty-two, right?

Doctor Lu is only 28 this year, so a six-year age difference is hardly "robbing the cradle," is it?

In fact, there was only a four-year age gap between them.

It’s just that Tang Su looks particularly young for her age.

"Sister, one’s last name is Lu, the other’s Tang, what kind of sister is that?" someone voiced their confusion.

Suddenly, another colleague with a different way of thinking retorted, "What, don’t you have any female cousins? Distant ones, close ones, don’t you have any such cousins? Can a cousin share the same last name with you?"

"If they share a last name, at least they’d have to be first cousins, of course. But there are also female cousins who took their mother’s last name, which is also possible," replied another.

That person: "..."

Fine, he hadn’t expected that after years of study and practicing medicine for quite some time, he would need his colleagues to enlighten him about family relations.

His way of thinking was narrow-minded and limited.

So when greeting time came around, some called her Doctor Lu’s sister.

Tang Su stopped the car and sent a message to her brother, Doctor Lu, completely unaware that she had become the center of attention for Doctor Lu’s colleagues, like a monkey in a zoo.

Lu Han replied okay and would be down in less than a minute, then he walked down the stairs.

Usually, when work wrapped up, colleagues would flock out from every exit to go home. Those living in the hospital dorms would rush back to their rooms to grab their dinnerware and hurry to the staff canteen for a fresh, hot meal.

Oh, so today they’re not in a hurry to go home for a warm meal?

Have they switched to feasting on gossip?

Was their gossip about him really that delicious, that satisfying?

More filling than a meal?

They hadn’t had their fill of his gossip today?

"What are you all gathered here for?" Lu Han uncharacteristically began the conversation.

"Doctor Lu, is your sister here to pick you up for dinner at home?" the bolder ones asked directly.

"Is there a problem, can’t I have my sister pick me up?" Lu Han countered.

"Of course not, heh heh heh..."

"Doctor Lu, he just thinks your sister is pretty and is shamelessly trying to get to know her," someone chimed in teasingly.

"My sister... she already has a boyfriend," Lu Han said with a profound look.

Tang Su got out of the car upon seeing Lu Han and noticed the crowd in the underground parking lot for the first time. Fortunately, the lighting wasn’t bright, but the onlookers stared, as if watching a spectacle unfold.

Tang Su slowed her pace when she also heard her family’s Lu Han mention that she had a boyfriend.

She thought Doctor Lu would take this opportunity to make their relationship public.

Tang Su instantly looked up, using her gaze to stop him.

Before Lu Han could reveal that he was Tang Su’s boyfriend, the enthusiastic and outgoing young male doctors immediately shifted their targets to Tang Su, "Oh, Doctor Lu’s good-looking sister got snatched up so quickly by someone."

"Where did you meet her, little sister?"

"At school," Tang Su replied seriously, looking up.

"Pfft—" Love at a young age, huh?

The person was clearly taken aback.

He still wanted to say that if they had just met, maybe there was still a chance to salvage the situation, take advantage of the unstable feelings before they got intense enough to consider marriage, maybe there was a chance to swoop in and take advantage.

But now, the young couple had fallen for each other back when they were studying, years of emotions so deep that no matter how one tried to intervene, it would be futile.

Alas, such a pity—

"Aren’t you leaving? We’re in a hurry." As Lu Han was about to say something else, Bai Dingkai’s urging phone call came again, wanting to know if he had set off yet.

Lu Han hung up the phone without answering. His hand naturally landed on Tang Su’s shoulder., taking the car keys from her hand with a natural gesture that didn’t cause anyone around to overthink it.

Physical contact between siblings is normal, don’t think too much into it.

"Goodbye, Doctor Lu."

"Goodbye, little sister Lu."

Along the way as Lu Han led Tang Su to the car, the sound of their colleagues waving and saying goodbye rose and fell around them.

Out of politeness, Tang Su thought to return a goodbye, but Lu Han’s voice was low in her ear, "Don’t bother with them."

And right after that, Bai Dingxian came along.

He very awarely took a seat in the back.

Then again, those snail-paced colleagues began to wildly speculate again, wondering if little sister Lu’s boyfriend could be Bai Dingxian?

The reason Lu Han didn’t have a girlfriend was that he was aloof and had high standards.

But what about Bai Dingxian, who also didn’t have a girlfriend?

The emergency department was busy, but despite being busy, there were still many seniors in the emergency department who had gotten married and had children., they were busy just the same, weren’t they?

But little sister Lu was so pretty, with Bai Dingxian?

If it was true, then it would undoubtedly be a delicate flower stuck in cow dung.

Little sister Lu shouldn’t be that blind, and Doctor Lu would definitely not agree.

"What happened outside before I came just now?" Bai Dingxian gasped for breath after getting in the car., waiting for Lu Han’s car to merge into traffic before he finally caught his breath and asked, belatedly realizing.

"Your colleague wanted to feast on our gossip."

"Haha, all they ever think about is gossip. Tang Su, ignore them. Say, when do you plan to reveal that you’re not siblings but a couple and smack them in the face?" Bai Dingxian was quite excited.

"Since they love to snack on melons so much, we should wait for the right moment for the melons to fall from the vine." Lu Han interjected.

"Lu Han, aren’t you being a bit too harsh?" The people wanting to get a piece of others’ melons only to realize the joke’s on them, that blow would be really big.

"..."

Lu Han let out a soft chuckle, not saying a word. Not being harsh wouldn’t teach them a lesson, he was forced into it.

"Where are we going to eat? Sun Qing has no place to go, she’s staying at my place tonight, so I asked her to join us for dinner later."

Bai Dingxian: "..."

Tang Su, why didn’t you say earlier that woman would be coming? If he had known, he wouldn’t have come over to join the excitement just now.

He really didn’t want to see that woman.

But now, he was in Lu Han’s car, a situation difficult to escape from. Getting off halfway would require finding a reason to explain.

Annoying—

"Old Chu’s Little Lamb Meat, text her the name of the restaurant. She should know it. If not, she can use the navigation."

"Yeah, she knows. We’ve been there before." Tang Su nodded.

The green light came on, and Lu Han started driving again. Tang Su bowed her head to text Sun Qing, while Bai Dingxian silently turned his head away.

Looks like there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with this annoying woman in the future.

Avoiding her once or twice was fine, but later on, if Lu Han and Tang Su invited people out together, he was Lu Han’s guest, Sun Qing was Tang Su’s guest, he couldn’t just avoid places where that woman was, could he?

If he couldn’t avoid it, then he might as well face it openly.
