Chapter 215: 184 Ingratiating Myself with My Elder Uncle, Is There a Shortcut? (2nd Update)_1

After finishing the lamb soup, everyone warmed up, and after a bit of laughter and chatter, it was Old Tan who gave a look pleading for mercy, wanting them to leave soon so he could spend some alone time with his Jiaojiao. Only then did everyone get up and leave.

Wu Jie paid the bill, and then Old Tan and his wife Jiaojiao played the part of ruthless business owners, not giving Wu Jie any discount.

Even though Wu Jie was sheared like a plump sheep, he felt the deal was worth it since he had a great meal and squared his debt with Lu Han.

Through this, Lu Han realized that this guy was truly a rich second-generation who never worried about food or clothing.

He lay low by Tang Su’s side, grateful for having Ye Sichen as a cushion—the ex-boyfriend. Otherwise, if Tang Su had never been with Ye Sichen and had ended up with Wu Jie, he feared he wouldn’t have had a fair chance.

Unless he resorted to forceful measures.

Of course, since Tang Su’s heart was with her, he didn’t need to play the robber and whisk her away through a wedding heist, but in that case, they would just be the second Old Tan and Lin Jiaojiao.

Tang Su was kind-hearted, and she would certainly blame herself later on for that.

Fortunately, fate did not arrange such a destiny for them.

Thankfully, Tang Su’s ex-boyfriend was that Ye Sichen.

After Tang Su and the others left, Old Tan took off his apron, grabbed Lin Jiaojiao, and insisted on going to the cinema to watch a romance movie together.

When a woman is too rational, it’s up to the man to take the initiative and maintain a sense of ceremony in the romance, for a life filled with passion.

Having no children of their own, Old Tan was genuinely afraid that Lin Jiaojiao might leave him if she said so.

Alone and unencumbered by children, if he disappointed her and broke her heart to the point she wanted to leave, the world was vast, and he might not find her before his death.

Therefore, he absolutely could not afford to annoy Lin Jiaojiao.

In their relationship, he was always the reactive one, never Lin Jiaojiao.

All his happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy were governed by this woman, and he was content with it.

Lin Jiaojiao hadn’t watched a movie in a long time; as she got older, she didn’t enjoy mingling in places where young people gathered. However, no matter her age, she still appreciated romance and ceremony.

The two completely reconciled in the cinema.

**

Tonight at the small tavern, they heard that Lin Jiaojiao was also letting Old Tan go back to Beijing to visit relatives, Wu Jie was going back to Beijing with Grandfather Wu, and then there was Doctor Lu’s family in Beijing, where her grandmother, uncle, and two aunts lived as well.

Moreover, Sun Qing also planned to go back to Beijing with them to visit Grandfather Sun, though for Sun Qing, it was purely for the fun of it.

Tang Su suddenly realized that their group was like collecting tarot cards, about to meet up in Beijing.

Those in the know would say it was pure coincidence, while those not in the know might think they were involved in some illicit activities.

It was practically a massive troop.

Thinking about their upcoming big reunion in Beijing, Tang Su couldn’t help but curl the corners of her mouth.

Seeing her in a good mood, Lu Han asked softly, "What are you thinking about that’s making you so happy?"

"Nothing, I was just feeling like our group is about to go to Beijing like we’re gathering tarot cards."

Lu Han: "..."

Lu Han paused for a moment, then chuckled along.

The description was apt, but it was indeed a coincidence.

After all, it’s a megacity, where various resources and networks are concentrated. Anyone with a bit of capability would wish to settle there if they could.

"Tang Su, I want to ask you a question," Lu Han suddenly said, serious and solemn.

"Sure, ask away," Tang Su turned her head to look at Lu Han, taken aback by his earnest demeanor.

"How can I pass muster with your older brother?"

"Why do you need to pass his test?" Tang Su, occasionally brilliant and occasionally foolish, was now stuffed, warm, and her IQ had seemingly taken a leave of absence.

"Of course, it’s to... marry you," Lu Han said with a smile.

Tang Su’s cheeks instantly turned a bright red.

Was Doctor Lu being too direct?

But why didn’t she hate his straightforwardness at all?

"My older brother is really nice; he supports whatever I like." In Tang Su’s heart, Tang Feng was a great brother. She liked Lu Han, so Tang Feng would definitely not give Lu Han a hard time.

The premise was that nobody would bad-mouth him to Tang Feng beforehand.

"Then he’s a good brother who dotes on his sister. However, a brother who dotes on his sister often tests her boyfriend even more for her happiness. So, I’m thinking about how to ingratiate myself with him. Is there any shortcut?"

This was the first time Lu Han had wanted to take a shortcut to achieve a goal.

Although he could work hard to gain the other’s trust, any effort would take time, and he hoped to marry Tang Su home the next year.

In this life, having decided on her, naturally the best thing was to marry her as soon as possible.

There was nothing to hesitate about.

Marrying Tang Su would require the approval of both families. His wish was for everyone important to Tang Su to truly bless them.

"Hmm? My brother is quite easy to talk to. The shortcut is just not to brown-nose. Let him see your sincerity toward me, so you really don’t have to worry, Lu Han."

"Okay, then. I’ll just play it by ear when we meet."

Lu Han didn’t press Tang Su anymore to come up with a shortcut for him.

Sincerity was indeed the greatest gesture of earnestness.

Tang Feng truly was a good brother.

Future brother-in-law, Lu Han dared not take lightly.

He still needed to prepare some things.

People who come out of the military, whether generals or soldiers, are upright in character and difficult to please.

However difficult, for Tang Su, Lu Han was prepared to give his all.

The two returned to the sixth floor. Bai Dingkai was not there, and Sun Qing had also gone back to his place. Their world as a couple seemed to return, and Little Douding was asleep in Tang Su’s arms.

However, it was soon awakened by Tang Su’s mobile phone.

"Meow—" The little one cuddled reluctantly into Tang Su’s embrace.

"It’s cold outside. Go home to take the call. Good night, girlfriend."

"Good night," Tang Su said somewhat reluctantly.

Under Lu Han’s watchful gaze, Tang Su finally took Little Douding back to her place.

As soon as she entered the house, Little Douding jumped from Tang Su’s arms onto the floor. The cold tiles were so frigid it couldn’t even stretch out comfortably, and with a meow, it dashed back into its cat bed.

Tang Su turned on the light, leaned against the door, then turned around and peered through the peephole to see Lu Han enter his house while she answered Sun Qing’s phone call.

On the other end, Sun Qing called out Tang Su’s name in a grand and forceful manner, "Tang Su, my close sister, my dear best friend, I have a big thing to share with you."

"...What is it?" Tang Su was so startled by Sun Qing’s hysteria that she almost dropped her phone.

What on earth was this guy up to now?
