Chapter 265: 234 Knowing Fun, Inviting Merit (2 updates)_1

Downstairs, Sun Qing was also a tactful person. Thinking that Tang Su and her family had just arrived the day before, he didn’t want to disturb their family gathering. After arranging to visit their home the next day, he left in his driver’s car.

Once in the car, Sun Qing sent the good news to Lu Han and then claimed credit for it. Soon after, Sun Qing received another red envelope from Lu Han, worth 8,800 yuan.

Sun Qing: "..."

An 8,800-yuan red envelope wasn’t considered a lot for Sun Qing.

But thinking about how Lu Han didn’t make much money after a month of work and how hard it was, accepting an 8,800-yuan red envelope from him felt quite shameful and embarrassing.

After hesitating for a long time, Sun Qing finally accepted the red envelope from Lu Han amidst feelings of shame.

"Thank you, Doctor Lu. If you need someone to cover for you two in the future, just call me," Sun Qing decided to wholeheartedly support the young couple with practical actions, adhering to the principle that one should do their job well after accepting money.

"Such a generous red envelope, boss. When you need me later, just call, no need to hesitate."

Then Sun Qing followed up with an image of a blushing, shy emoji.

Lu Han laughed, "Alright, thanks, bro."

Sun Qing: ???

Bro?

When did she become sworn siblings with Doctor Lu?

Lu Han disconnected the call, anticipating that Tang Su and her relatives would have left. He then put on a mask and left through the back door with Ouyang Chen.

Lu Han wore a mask when going out because of a favor from his old man.

His old man, for some reason, insisted that others be made aware of their father-son relationship, claiming he didn’t want him to continue carrying the stigma of being an illegitimate child.

Whether being an illegitimate child was a stigma or not, Lu Han always thought the mouths were on others, and what they said was their business—what did it have to do with him?

As a child, before he saw things clearly, he indeed didn’t want to bear the stigma of being an illegitimate child, and the uncertainty about his father made it difficult for him to hold his head high for many years.

But those emotions, once he had come to understand life, he no longer cared about at all.

Being the son of Lu Maoyan in this city was an honor but also a burden.

When he left the city, it wasn’t because he wanted to leave Lu Maoyan—he acknowledged him in his heart as his father.

After all, his dad really was outstanding, and he really loved his mother.

The decision for him to grow up outside with his mother, causing him and his sister to be separated, was made by both parents after much consideration.

He couldn’t place all the blame on his dad.

Moreover, on the day the truth was revealed, he actually felt quite sorry for his dad.

Just like his mother, it was precisely because he knew of all the secrets his father had kept for so many years and the unsavory past of the Lu Family that he didn’t want to stay here.

He understood why his mother would rather bear the stigma than bring him back to Beijing, because in any other city outside of Beijing, at most he would only carry the reputation of an uncertain paternity.

With societal progress, the treatment of children born out of wedlock has gradually improved; uncertainty of paternity is far from being as unacceptable as it was in the past.

All those rumors about the Lu Family in Beijing had finally been suppressed to the bottom of the lake. Regardless of how turbulent the waters were below, at least the surface was calm.

Was his dad, who had lived in peace for so long, trying to stir up trouble for no reason?

If this were happening at any other time, Lu Han might have let it slide, but choosing this particular moment made him feel that his dad was purposely opposing him.

Anyway, it wasn’t his problem. If his dad continued like this, he shouldn’t be surprised if he eventually stopped calling him dad.

After getting in the car, Ouyang Chen expressed his confusion, "I just observed their family from the second floor, and they don’t seem to be any remarkable family. Why do you have to sneak around to see your girlfriend?"

Although it was amusing to see Lu Han acting like a thief, Ouyang Chen felt that for someone like Lu Han to play the thief for a girl who was merely passable in looks was giving her too much credit.

If Tang Su were the kind of celestial beauty that stunned people for millennia at first glance, it would be worth mentioning.

But the Tang Su in front of us can only be described as not ugly, and the clothes she wears make her look a tad cute.

However, this world has no shortage of cute girls, right?

"I don’t want to cause trouble for her."

"Ha, you really dote on that girl."

"Nonsense, she’s my girlfriend. If I don’t spoil her, should I spoil you?" Lu Han retorted.

"Alright alright, my bad."

"Take me back to the Lu Family."

"Will do."

After the ladies had watched the play and the men had finished their baths, Su Yangming saw a place that seemed like a new teahouse perfect for morning tea and parked there. He sent the location to the family group chat, telling them to head straight there.

Seeing that Su Yangming had decided to have lunch at that place, Su Wanyi didn’t bother to think further.

Su Wanyi was a VIP at Liyuan. During the intermission, she took the excuse of going to the restroom to inquire with the staff and found out that Tang Su’s best friend’s blind date was indeed with Ouyang Chen, the owner of Xinghua Hall.

The person who booked the entire venue today was Ouyang Chen.

Thinking of what Shen Yi told her the night before, that the man she liked, named Lu Han, was Lu Maoyan’s rumored illegitimate son and a member of the Lu Family.

Despite the stigma attached to being an illegitimate child, he was still Lu Maoyan’s own flesh and blood, with a noble birthright and status. If this Lu Han was especially favored, then Shen Yi’s choice was truly commendable.

As a mother, Su Wanyi still wanted to support her daughter as best she could.

So, in a surprising move, as they got into the car, she pulled Tang Su to sit beside her in the same row.

To keep the two elder matriarchs in the dark about Shen Yi’s feelings, Su Wanyi made the excuse that she had to pick up a case of wine for Su Yangming at the winery. Like this, she took Tang Su with her to eat after visiting the winery first.

Tang Su, being sharp-witted, knew her aunt must have something to ask her, which is why she was avoiding others’ prying eyes.

All the way, Su Wanyi remained silent, and Tang Su patiently waited.

Su Wanyi was very straightforward. After pondering over her words for a while, she decided it was better to come straight to the point.

"Tang Su, your aunt wants to ask you something."

"Mhm, Auntie, go ahead and ask."

"How did your friend fare with her blind date just now?"

"... Uh, it seems she wasn’t interested," Tang Su said, slightly startled, before remembering Sun Qing’s nonsense.

"Ah? You girls talked upstairs for an hour — how could she not be interested and yet chat for so long?"

"Cough cough, well, they’re young, and besides, Grandfather Sun gave her an ultimatum — if she didn’t sit for an hour, she’d be in trouble when she got home."

"No wonder."

"Um, Auntie would like to ask for your help, is that okay?"

"Sure, Auntie, tell me what it is."

"Aren’t you going to your friend’s house tomorrow? So, while you’re there, can you ask for your aunt if that Ouyang Chen has a good friend named Lu Han?"

Tang Su: "..."
