Chapter 310: 279 So, Outrageous (1 more update)_1

Tang Su didn’t sleep well all night because she was worried about her mother.

Fearing that she might oversleep due to exhaustion, she had even set an alarm, so when Lu Han’s message came through, she was already up and washing up.

After seeing the message from Lu Han, Tang Su washed her face, thought for a moment, and then contacted Su Ruoan before giving Lu Han a definite answer, saying she would not come over today and would visit the hospital later to see the situation before getting back to him.

Lu Han took a while before replying with an okay and telling her to be careful.

He didn’t mention his grandfather’s disappointment to Tang Su, knowing she already had enough on her plate, and since he couldn’t go to the hospital to share her burden, not adding to her troubles was the best he could do.

Lu Han didn’t mention that he wanted to come to the hospital, which made Tang Su breathe a sigh of relief.

When Tang Su went downstairs, the three men in the house were still sleeping in their respective rooms, and she took the car keys and went to the garage to drive herself.

Tang Su had just parked the car in the temporary parking spot across from the hospital when she saw Su Ruoan walking out of the hospital.

She hurriedly called Su Ruoan to tell her that she wouldn’t be going to his grandfather’s house with Lu Han that day.

Seeing that her decision was made, Su Ruoan didn’t try to persuade her further, "Well, if you’re not going, then you’re not. You should get some more sleep and go later when you’re feeling better."

"Mom, I’m across the street," Tang Su said, waving to Su Ruoan.

Upon seeing her daughter, Su Ruoan said, "Why did you come here? I came out to buy breakfast for your grandmother and your aunt. It’s so early, I guess you haven’t eaten either, shall we go have something together?"

"Mmm."

Su Ruoan crossed the street at the zebra crossing and met her daughter. Hand in hand, they went to a breakfast shop that sold baozi, and both got a bowl of white porridge with meat buns.

Tang Su had a good appetite, eating two buns after finishing her bowl of porridge.

Su Ruoan also ate two buns and had two bowls of porridge.

After they finished breakfast quickly, they intended to pack some for the two people in the sickroom, but the eight-treasure porridge had sold out at the shop, leaving only white and Xiaomi porridge.

Remembering that Su Wanyi had said she wanted eight-treasure porridge, mother and daughter left the shop, only to find that other breakfast places had either sold out or hadn’t made any that day.

It was just so unfortunate.

Tang Su glanced at the street vendors across the road, nudged her chin in that direction, and said to Su Ruoan, "Mom, they probably sell it over there."

"Your aunt won’t eat from there," Su Ruoan sighed.

"Then let’s buy some Xiaomi porridge from here and get an eight-treasure porridge from over there for auntie to choose," Tang Su suggested.

"Mmm, good idea."

Eventually, as Tang Su suggested, they bought two servings of Xiaomi porridge and four meat buns from the shop, along with two servings of pickled vegetables, and headed over to get a serving of eight-treasure porridge, before returning to the sickroom.

On the way back, Su Ruoan asked her daughter, "You didn’t argue with your cousin last night, did you?"

"No, I fell asleep as soon as I got in the car," Tang Su said with a smile.

Su Ruoan understood and patted Tang Su’s head affectionately, holding the breakfast in one hand and reaching out to hug her daughter with the other.

Tang Su never slept in cars; she simply didn’t want to get into a dispute with Shen Yi.

Of course, it was also possible that Tang Su was just too tired yesterday.

She hadn’t expected that her trip to Beijing would turn out to be so eventful.

Last night, Zhao Xinlan had even called to ask her when she was coming back.

She had initially planned to return two days early, to go back to her hometown with Tang Shengyi, and take a family portrait with her in-laws, but now it looked like that wasn’t going to happen. If the Tang family wanted to take a family portrait, it would have to wait until the New Year.

Su Ruoan knew that Tang Shengyi wouldn’t blame her, but she still felt uneasy about it.

But there was no helping it; who could have expected the elderly lady to suddenly fall so seriously ill.

This heart attack couldn’t have been faked; she truly underwent a severe shock last night.

"Tang Bao, Mommy has something to tell you in advance. To coax your grandma to sleep last night, I promised her that if Lu Han’s dad really is a Chen Shimei, then I’ll let you break up with Lu Han."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Su’s body suddenly stiffened.

She remembered that not long ago, she had told Tang Feng that no matter what kind of person Lu Han was, as long as he didn’t initiate a breakup, she would never break up with him.

But if it came down to choosing between her mom and Lu Han?

How could such an outrageous situation be happening to her?

Tang Su’s physical reaction was immediately felt by Su Ruoan, who pinched Tang Su’s hand, "Tang Bao, Mommy’s promise comes with a precondition, and that is first and foremost, Lu Han’s dad has to be a Chen Shimei."

"Yesterday, when you dined with them, did you feel that Lu Han’s parents fit the description given by your grandma? Are they that kind of people?"

Tang Su shook her head, "No, I feel that if Grandma isn’t slandering, then she must have listened to one-sided stories from others."

Some people, at first glance, seem very likable, and it’s usually possible to tell if they are bad people.

Although someone may have a kind appearance, if they harbor ill will, they are still considered bad people.

But Lu Han’s dad and mom, they not only looked good but also didn’t do anything to make others dislike them.

"I think so too, but no matter what the truth is, what Mom wants to tell you is that if it’s confirmed later that Lu Han’s dad is really as your grandma described, then Mom might need to fulfill the promise to your grandma."

"However, the final decision rests with you. Grandma is old and sick, and since I’ve promised her, I have to keep my word. If you want to be with Lu Han, you will have to sever the mother-daughter relationship with me."

"Mom—" Tang Su couldn’t bear to listen any longer. Why did her mom agree to such an unreasonable demand from her grandma?

"Don’t panic, listen to me until the end. Grandma wants my declaration, but you are my flesh and blood, can a mere declaration truly cut us apart? By then, you can still come to Beijing with a clear conscience to be with Lu Han, right?"

"If you two settle in Hua City, with grandma so far away, she won’t know how we interact, right?"

"It’s just... to appease her. Do you understand what Mom means?"

"Mm..." Tang Su softly replied, beginning to understand.

But even if it was just pretending to sever the mother-daughter relationship to appease her grandma, she didn’t want to do it.

Tang Su suddenly regretted it. Should she have shared what was happening in her family with Lu Han, to get a definite answer from him?

Lu Han had said his parents were misunderstood, but he hadn’t specified how they were misunderstood.

And she hadn’t asked.

What she thought was a misunderstanding was simply that Bai Wei was much younger than Lu Maoyan, so people mistook their relationship for a transaction rather than true love.

Besides, they were elders, and as a junior, what right did she have to question the affairs of her elders when they were younger?

"Mom is telling you this now because she’s afraid that once you enter the ward later, grandma and your great aunt might bring this up, and you should be mentally prepared. Even if they mention it to you later, you won’t be completely clueless."

"Thank you, Mom."

"Dear, no need for thanks. As for the issue with Lu Han’s parents, Mom will help you look into it. Anyway, I’m going to meet with my teacher, and since Lu Han is his prized student, I suppose he would be quite familiar with the Lu Family."

"Mm, thanks for the trouble, Mom."

"It’s no trouble, let’s go, let’s go inside."

"Okay."

With her mother’s support, Tang Su felt much more at ease in her heart.
