Chapter 209: 178 Lu Han didn’t want them to know his connection with Longmen (2 updates) _1

What situations make a man willing to be scolded, hit, or restrained by his woman?

It’s not just about loving that woman, but also about receiving love in return.

A one-sided affection can’t support a lifetime; only mutual commitment can.

Tang Shengyi’s contrariness was eventually dissolved by a dish of Dongpo pork.

After that, Tang Shengyi didn’t target Lu Han anymore.

At this time, the waiter brought out the dishes that Lu Han had ordered in advance, one after another. Everyone was hungry; some served soup, others served rice.

There were two kinds of soup: cordyceps yam chicken soup and stewed pig trotters with snow peas. Su Ruoan liked the cordyceps yam soup, and Zhao Xinlan liked the pig trotters.

The dishes today were all heavy-flavored. The several dishes arranged by Lu Han were much to the elders’ liking.

Watching these dishes, Tang Su gave Lu Han a thumbs-up under the table, silently admiring her Doctor Lu. She didn’t seem to have told him about her mother and godmother’s preferences; how did he know they would like these dishes?

Online, guys who go home with their girlfriends to meet the parents often buy things that don’t align with the elders’ tastes. They directly scold their girlfriends, saying, "You didn’t tell me what your family likes, how would I know? I’m not a god."

Comparing that, her Doctor Lu seemed quite godly.

Whether he’s godly or not, Tang Su didn’t understand, but she knew that Doctor Lu must have put in the effort.

After filling their stomachs a bit, Su Ruoan asked Lu Han, "Lu Han, how did you find Tang Su yesterday?"

"Mom, Lu Han called the police. Just the day before yesterday, that Director Wen destroyed my car, and so, following the clues, the police traced it to Chen Guang," Tang Su interjected.

She was speechless too; now that she was safe and sound, did they really need to delve into such details?

No matter how they found her, the result now was that she was safe and unharmed, wasn’t it?

Tang Su didn’t know why she thought this way, but she just didn’t want Lu Han to say that he knew people from Longmen.

After all, ordinary, reputable families don’t usually know people from Longmen, let alone that Lu Han had asked Longmen’s leader to rescue her.

Logically thinking, it must be some solid connection that allowed the people of Longmen to act immediately to help him search for her after Lu Han sought their help.

"I’m asking Lu Han; why are you answering for him?" Su Ruoan felt something was off, but since Tang Su had said it, Su Ruoan understood that it might not be appropriate to probe into these various details.

Adhering to the principle of not causing others trouble, Su Ruoan didn’t ask any further, seeing as Tang Su was bouncing around unharmed and unstressed.

That was enough.

"What matters is that I’m safe now, but what about Lu Han? He ran out from work for my sake yesterday, and I don’t even know how they will punish him at the clinic."

Tang Su was truly worried about Lu Han. When she asked, his answer was that it was okay.

But in her heart, Tang Su couldn’t be at ease or frank about it.

"You should explain things properly to your superiors; shouldn’t that be okay? After all, this was a special incident. If they can’t even accept that explanation, then those leaders are really lacking in empathy," Zhao Xinlan said.

It’s just too bad that she no longer wanted to be the president’s wife; otherwise, she could have whispered a pillow talk to Jiang Tao, asking him to intervene with Lu Han’s superiors and plead on Lu Han’s behalf.

They were all from the same system; they should give him that much face, right?

Zhao Xinlan still didn’t know that all these years, the pillow talk she had been whispering in Jiang Tao’s ear never really made a difference.

Su Ruoan and Tang Shengyi didn’t tell her that the slow progress and many obstacles in their careers were closely related to Jiang Tao.

This time, as the quarrel with Zhao Xinlan and Jiang Tao became intense, Tang Shengyi had wanted to come clean to Zhao Xinlan about everything that had happened in the past.

Su Ruoan stopped him, suggesting that they wait and see how Zhao Xinlan reacted. If she was really willing to leave Jiang Tao, the terrible things he had done could be divulged after Zhao Xinlan got the divorce certificate.

That way, it might sever Zhao Xinlan’s attachment to Jiang Tao more swiftly.

Su Ruoan was afraid that if Zhao Xinlan persisted for a while but ultimately couldn’t bear to leave Jiang Tao, then there’d be no need to let Xinlan know about the disgusting things Jiang Tao had done to upset their marriage.

After all, Jiang Tao was Jiang Tao, and no matter whose wife Zhao Xinlan was, she was the best friend of Su Ruoan’s life.

She hoped Zhao Xinlan would find happiness, and as long as Jiang Tao treated Zhao Xinlan well, whether their marriage benefited from Xinlan’s luck wasn’t the purpose of their friendship.

"It’s okay, godmother, Tang Su is too worried," Lu Han affirmed.

He had gone back to work today, and Assistant Feng really had come around his office twice. Then he found that Lu Han had many patients that morning and there were still a few appointments left, so he had the nurse persuade them to come back for a consultation in the afternoon.

Even if President Ke wanted to pursue the incident from yesterday, he wouldn’t interfere with Lu Han seeing his patients.

After all, Lu Han had an excellent reputation among his patients and their families.

Especially since there was a big shot staying in the inpatient department, backing Lu Han up.

"Tangtang worries so much because she cares about you a lot. You have to care for our Tangtang just as much in the future," Su Ruoan’s mom told him.

"Yes, I will, godmother."

"Good, in a few days, godmother will give you a big red envelope for changing your way of addressing me."

"Thank you, godmother."

"Godmother, what about me?"

"Don’t be shameless, that’s a red envelope for Lu Han to change how he addresses me, not for you. If you want this kind of red envelope, you shouldn’t be asking us," Su Ruoan glanced at her daughter.

Just like her father, when it came to money, her eyes lit up, a true little money-lover.

After lunch, Lu Han went to pay the bill. After he paid, Tang Shengyi and Su Ruoan went to work, and Zhao Xinlan made arrangements to play mahjong with her partners.

Lu Han also had to work, leaving only Tang Su behind.

Zhao Xinlan asked Tang Su if she had any plans and if not, to come play mahjong with her.

Tang Su shook her head in refusal; she knew how to play but wasn’t very interested.

It wasn’t the time for holidays or entertaining elders, and she didn’t want to go.

"I won’t go. I’m going to get my hair washed later, then maybe wander around Culture Street," Tang Su said.

"Alright, as long as you have plans, let’s disperse then."

Lu Han wanted Tang Su to drive to Culture Street, but Tang Su shook her head, "Your work starts soon, you should drive there quickly. I’m just going to the hair salon next door, and I’m not even sure I’ll go to Culture Street."

"Okay, I’ll come pick you up after work. We’ll go to Old Tan’s tavern for dinner tonight, Lin Jiaojiao says she misses you."

"Alright."

"Bai Dingxian will be there too, ask Sun Qing if she has time and wants to join us."

"Yeah, I know, I’ll contact her later."

"Be safe."

"I will, you drive carefully too."

"Yeah."

In the end, Tang Su watched Lu Han drive away, only walking towards the hair salon next to their community after his car was out of sight.

On the way there, she sent Sun Qing a WeChat message, asking if she wanted to join them for dinner at the tavern after work?

By the time Tang Su lay down to get her hair washed, Sun Qing still hadn’t replied.
