Chapter 235: 204 The End of Love is Hate (Chapter Update 1)_1

Following that, Tang Su sent another message, "I was pulled away this afternoon to pick up my grandparents. Just come straight to the hotel after you get off work. I’ll meet you at the hotel entrance."

"Okay, good," Lu Han replied with two words.

Tang Su pressed her lips together in a smile and sent over a smiling emoji.

Lu Han didn’t reply. Smiling, he put his phone into his pocket. Across the table, Bai Dingxian, seeing his lovey-dovey manner, couldn’t stand it any longer, "Come on, Lu Han, can’t you spare us single dogs during meal times?"

"Why not find one?" Lu Han raised an eyebrow.

"Better not, do you think every girl nowadays is like your little lady, so charming and sought after?"

"Hmm?" Lu Han frowned.

What did that mean?

Had he taken a fancy to Tang Su?

A single hum made Bai Dingxian realize that Lu Han was jealous.

Good heavens, he was just praising Tang Su, trying to curry favor, since he was the one who paid for the meal at noon.

It’s hard to criticize the hand that feeds you. Tang Su was his girlfriend, and maybe, before long, he would have to start calling her sister-in-law; shouldn’t he try to win the favor of the couple?

Yes, Tang Su was attractive, and Lu Han treasured her, but as far as he’s concerned, she didn’t catch his eye, okay?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; Lu Han should have heard this saying, right?

"Don’t ’hmm’ me. I only have the utmost respect for Tang Su, as I would for a future sister-in-law," Bai Dingxian said candidly.

Lu Han relaxed his brows. It was better this way; otherwise, this kid was probably not too fond of his skin.

At the entrance, Jiang Shanshan was carrying a lunch box and hurried over as well.

Upon hearing that Lu Han hadn’t left the hospital today but had lunch in the hospital cafeteria with Bai Dingxian, she had driven out of the hospital, circled around the road outside, and come back.

"Doctor Jiang." Ever since Jiang Shanshan’s background as the daughter of the central hospital’s director, Jiang Tao, became widely known, those in the hospital who liked to curry favor with the powerful showed her even more respect.

As Jiang Shanshan stood at the entrance, some people put down their chopsticks and took the initiative to greet her.

Jiang Shanshan pressed her lips together and smiled back at them before turning her gaze towards Lu Han.

Bai Dingxian only looked up at Jiang Shanshan after hearing someone call her name, but Lu Han was unmoved, continuing to slowly enjoy his rice and vegetables on the plate.

"Hey, Lu Han, Jiang Shanshan must be here for you again," Bai Dingxian commented with resignation. It was one thing for others in the hospital to be unaware of Lu Han’s real relationship with Tang Su, but Jiang Shanshan knew.

Lu Han had said he made everything clear to Jiang Shanshan, but she was still like this, which meant her skin was really thick.

"Finished eating?" Lu Han asked quietly.

"Not yet," Bai Dingxian quickly picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat, seeing that Lu Han was unfazed and speaking nonchalantly.

He certainly didn’t want to go hungry this afternoon because of Jiang Shanshan.

"Then eat up quickly and mind your own business."

Not long after Lu Han finished speaking, Jiang Shanshan, who Lu Han regarded as nobody, had got her meal ready and was walking purposefully towards Lu Han and Bai Dingxian.

Bai Dingxian thought that, after all, Jiang Shanshan was an educated woman who had been to university; she shouldn’t lack such basic manners.

But Jiang Shanshan had no such manners. Without a word of greeting, she sat down at their table.

At the six-person dining table, knowing that Lu Han didn’t like her much and wanting to avoid the embarrassment of Lu Han getting up and leaving as soon as she sat down, Jiang Shanshan deliberately left a seat empty between herself and Lu Han when she sat down.

"Doctor Lu, Doctor Bai," Jiang Shanshan greeted them with a smile.

"..."

No one responded, and Lu Han picked up his soup bowl to drink.

Jiang Shanshan knew that Lu Han was probably finished with his meal.

"Doctor Lu, wait for me, I want to talk to you about Tongtong," Jiang Shanshan would always use Tongtong as an excuse whenever she wanted to speak with Lu Han alone.

Previously, Tongtong hadn’t had his surgery, and indeed, among the hospital’s doctors, he really only liked Lu Han and Jiang Shanshan, so Lu Han, for Tongtong’s sake, would occasionally indulge Jiang Shanshan.

But now, the doctors who visited Tongtong’s ward said that every day he clutched the comic books Tang Su gave him, and after finishing them, he could even get a free replacement with a new picture book.

Tongtong liked Tang Su better.

Moreover, Tongtong’s surgery had been done and was very successful; after observing for a few more days, he would be discharged, so it really didn’t make sense—if Tongtong had any issues, his guardian should discuss them with the relevant doctor.

Why did Jiang Shanshan have to bother Lu Han with matters concerning Tongtong every time? Was she sick?

"No need to chat, Doctor Bai is just about to go see Tongtong, and we were planning to go together," Lu Han outright rejected her.

Incredulous, Jiang Shanshan turned to look at Bai Dingxian. Was he really so idle?

Was the emergency department not busy anymore?

Did he even have time to go see Tongtong?

"Lu Han, I really do have something to tell you."

"Doctor Jiang, you’re in pediatrics, and I’m in otolaryngology; currently, we don’t have any overlapping patients, so there shouldn’t be anything to talk about regarding work. As for personal matters, I’ve said before that our relationship isn’t at the point where we can chat privately," Lu Han said and promptly urged the daydreaming Bai Dingxian, "Let’s go."

"Oh, okay," Bai Dingxian quickly snapped back to reality and kept pace with Lu Han.

In the past, his acquiescence to Jiang Shanshan was out of respect, but she obviously thought Lu Han’s respect for her was preferential treatment.

This was simply overconfidence, bordering on arrogance.

So Lu Han and Bai Dingxian left, and Jiang Shanshan suddenly lost her appetite. She couldn’t bring herself to believe that Lu Han really dared to treat her like this.

Yet it was the harsh reality.

Jiang Shanshan, furious, threw down her spoon. Her fists clenched so tightly her knuckles turned white, but still, the anger did not subside.

At this time, her colleagues naturally kept their distance, not daring to provoke her further and stayed away if they could.

Picking up the phone, Jiang Shanshan dialed Jiang Qimeng, "Sister, I’m listening to you this time. I won’t protect him anymore. Whatever you want to do, I’ll go along with you."

"Good, you should’ve seen the light sooner. In this society, three-legged toads are hard to find, but aren’t men with two legs everywhere? Lu Han doesn’t have anything, just looks a bit better, nothing special."

"Yeah, I understand now. This time, I must teach him a lesson, even if he doesn’t love me, hating me is good too; at least I’ll have some weight in his heart, love or hate."

The end of love is hate, and after chasing Lu Han for so long, even when she took the initiative to confess, he didn’t show any interest, so she shouldn’t be blamed for not protecting him anymore.

She wanted to see how that Tang Su, who had far less backing than she did, would protect him in the end.

"Okay, I’m still making contacts on my side. Once I’ve got it all set up, we’ll give those two a big surprise. Also, we need to see how Dad reacts—if he’s willing to divorce that woman, then we can completely turn against them, and there’s nothing to be afraid of."

"Mm."
