Chapter 270: 239 Inner Heart, Slightly Heavy (1 more)_1

For Lu Han, winning over the heart of his future uncle with a fountain pen was definitely a gain without a loss.

Moreover, what he said was true; his father had given him all the items of sentimental value left by his grandfather, and it’s not like he could sell his grandfather’s belongings in the market, right?

They should naturally be given to someone who appreciated them.

And that someone was Tang Feng.

The pen had been sitting in a pen holder on his study desk before it was gifted to Tang Feng, and he only used it occasionally when he had no other pens available.

As soon as Tang Feng received it, he insisted on buying a special case for it. Clearly, the pen had achieved the status it deserved, and if his grandfather had a spirit in heaven, he would also be especially comforted.

When the two left the teahouse, Tang Feng insisted on paying the bill, and Lu Han couldn’t win the argument, so he let him pay.

Meanwhile, Tang Su was shopping in the department store with her parents. Tang Shengyi went to a tea shop and bought a box of fine tea for Tang Su to take to the Sun family tomorrow, and Su Ruoan bought a box of sesame walnut powder suitable for the elderly.

Tang Su picked out a box of premium cherries; Sun Qing loved them.

After leaving their purchases in a storage locker, the three went to shop for their own clothes.

Su Ruoan bought herself two sets of thermal underwear, and for Tang Su, she bought everything from head to toe, inside out, and she bought Tang Shengyi a lightweight black down jacket, two sets of thermal underwear, and also matched pants and shoes.

On the way back, the family of three returned home with their arms full.

As they got into the car, Tang Su belatedly realized that while the three of them had bought things, her brother hadn’t gotten anything.

"We didn’t buy anything for big brother." They hailed a taxi, and Tang Su sat in the passenger seat, turning her head to speak.

"You really are your big brother’s good little sister, waiting until we’re almost home to think of him. There’s no need to buy him anything; he didn’t come with us, and without trying things on, if they don’t fit, it’s a hassle to exchange them."

"Mother, you’re right," said Tang Su, no longer making a fuss.

Tang Shengyi had had a comfortably long bath in the morning and spent the afternoon shopping with his wife and daughter. At that moment, he was so tired from getting into the car that he slumped in the back seat and fell asleep within minutes.

When the family of three arrived home, Tang Feng had not yet returned.

Su Ruoan was arranged by Su Wanyi to accompany their mother for a chat, while she went to the airport to pick up Shen Ao.

Su Ruoan nodded in agreement, letting Tang Shengyi carry their belongings back.

The gifts for the Sun Family were left in the living room, so Tang Su could easily take them with her when she left the next day.

Su Yangming was still out meeting friends and had not come back.

Su Mengting and Wei Yuan were on the phone at the side, talking to clients.

With the elderly Mrs. Su and Mrs. Shen chatting, only Su Jiahao and his wife Xie Lan were accompanying them. Before Su Ruoan arrived back, Su Wanyi was also there to keep them company.

The timing of Su Ruoan’s return was perfect; she was just in time to go to the airport to pick up Shen Ao, as she and her husband needed to communicate about some issues.

After greeting the elders, Tang Su went straight upstairs to her room.

She was trying on the clothes she had bought today when someone knocked on her door.

Shen Yi knocked urgently and with force.

"Coming." Tang Su quickly put the clothes down and ran to open the door for Shen Yi.

Shen Yi, who had difficulty walking, had come all the way from her room using a walking stick, a tediously painful journey, yet she had waited for Tang Su the whole afternoon, not expecting her to return only now.

"Sis—" Tang Su called out to her.

Shen Yi entered the room and then shut the door with a bang.

Tang Su stepped back and then moved an armchair for her, "Sit higher, sis."

Afterward, Tang Su also fetched a small stool for Shen Yi to rest her feet on.

"Tang Su, you told my mom that Lu Han is your boyfriend, were you spouting nonsense? Are you trying to avoid their pestering you about marriage?" As the New Year approached, the unavoidable plight for singles was the pressing issue of marriage from the elders.

"No, sis, my new boyfriend really is named Lu Han, and he’s a doctor."

"A doctor? How could he possibly be a doctor?" Shen Yi couldn’t believe it. She knew that he was the son of Lu Maoyan.

Lu Maoyan was an untouchable figure in Beijing.

How could the son of such an important figure be dating Tang Su?

Tang Su was even more ordinary than her, and her social status was even lower.

If Lu Han could date her, wouldn’t her chances be even better?

"My aunt told me you also knew a guy named Lu Han. It must be a coincidence that the guy we both know has the same name, right? I sent a photo to my aunt. Did you see it?"

"My mom messed with it somehow, and it got lost. Show it to me now," Shen Yi said, also feeling frustrated for not having seen Lu Han’s photo.

"Okay."

When Shen Yi saw the photo of Lu Han on Tang Su’s phone, her pupils constricted violently, and her eyes widened in disbelief.

It wasn’t a case of two men with the same name; it was the same person.

"You said he’s a doctor? In Hua City?" Shen Yi asked Tang Su, her voice trembling slightly.

"Yes, we even live in the same neighborhood, right across from each other. But we’ve known each other for many years. I met him when I was sixteen, and I’ve liked him since then, though we haven’t been together for long."

Shen Yi: "..."

Shen Yi simply couldn’t believe everything Tang Su had told her.

Tang Su had a crush on Lu Han since she was sixteen?

That just seemed too unreal.

As Tang Su told Shen Yi all this, she kept observing Shen Yi’s expressions, but Shen Yi, too caught up in her own thoughts, didn’t notice Tang Su was watching her.

She also failed to realize that Tang Su saw every reaction, every emotion of hers.

After hearing everything Tang Su said, she never considered how immoral it was to steal someone else’s love.

To be the other woman interfering in someone’s relationship was utterly despicable.

All she thought about was that Lu Han was a once-in-a-lifetime catch, and if she ended up with Lu Han, her whole family would be lifted up to heaven.

How could she possibly let such a good thing go to Tang Su?

Even if Tang Su was her cousin, so what?

If she could successfully steal Lu Han away, then she wouldn’t see Tang Su again in the future, nor would she let Lu Han see her.

As for what she owed Tang Su, she could compensate in other ways.

In short, she wanted to turn her secret love into an open relationship, no matter whether Lu Han was Tang Su’s boyfriend or not.

"Have you met each other’s parents?" Shen Yi made her decision and asked Tang Su again.

"He has met mine, but I haven’t had the chance to meet his yet."

Seeing Shen Yi say nothing more, Tang Su felt a slight sinking feeling. What was her cousin planning to do?

Planning to become her romantic rival?

Or pretending the Lu Han she liked was not the same person as her boyfriend?

"Then during your trip to Beijing this time, has he arranged for you to meet his parents?" Shen Yi asked further.

"No."

Hearing Tang Su’s response, Shen Yi let out a sigh of relief.

The breath she had been holding in her chest could finally be released with peace of mind.
