Chapter 349: 318 is quite funny (1 more update)_1

Lu Han came to find out the surgery time on behalf of the Lu Family.

He could have simply called Xu Bo to ask, but Lu Han wanted to see Tang Su and was happy to make the trip himself.

As experienced elders, Lu Maoyan and Bai Wei understood the longing of young lovers in the throes of passion and allowed Lu Han to come. They did not accompany him.

His father had already personally cleared up Granny Su’s misunderstanding, and they had found specialists for her. Bai Wei’s view was that they only needed to treat Tang Su’s parents well.

As for Tang Su’s grandmother, they had done what they could, and it was now up to her to come around.

If she couldn’t, then at the end of the day, the Lu Family didn’t strictly need the old lady’s approval to take a bride.

It was enough to maintain face; they didn’t have to lower themselves too much for someone who wasn’t that important.

The only people who could make them truly lower their guard were Tang Su’s parents, her direct relatives.

Lu Han understood this as well, so after he met with Tang Su, he placed the fruits and milk in Granny Su’s ward and then took Tang Su with him to see Xu Bo, using that as an excuse.

After the two left, the Su Family members of Tang Su’s generation huddled together and whispered complaints, intentionally avoiding Su Yu.

To them, Su Yu had become the sort of villain who would betray Tang Su for personal gain, unworthy of their company.

And the way the second aunt spoke to Tang Su, she might as well have been a wagging dog.

Was the Tang family getting a shot at turning their fortunes around just because Tang Su was marrying a good man?

Even if this was a path to success, was there really anything to be smug about?

After all, the credit lay with Lu Han, didn’t it?

But regardless of the younger generation’s gripes, the elders were now all gathered around Su Ruoan and Tang Shengyi.

Just now, Xu Bo had invited Tang Shengyi to join him in the operating room to assist with the anesthesia.

Tang Shengyi did not refuse.

The anesthesiologist whom their family looked down upon was highly valued by Xu Bo, the specialist.

The name Tang Shengyi carried weight in the field of anesthesia.

After all, there had been those at Beijing Hospital who wanted to poach Tang Shengyi, but they had not succeeded.

It was Tang Shengyi who declined; however, these details were not necessary to share with Su Ruoan’s siblings.

That was a matter for the couple to handle themselves.

"Third brother, Shengyi, the surgery Mother is facing, the risks aren’t really significant, are they?" Su Jiahao, the second eldest of the Su Family, asked in a low voice.

When one is healthy and life is going smoothly, it’s easy to underestimate the significance of being a doctor.

But at times like these, they genuinely felt the comfort of having family members in the medical industry, giving them a sense of security and peace.

Even though Su Ruoan and Tang Shengyi were not from this hospital, they were part of the system. With the couple present, the rest of the family wouldn’t feel too lost.

The dialogue that Xu Bo had with the family earlier had seemed simple, yet many parts were still confusing, requiring the couple to explain before they could understand.

"Big brother, there’s always some risk to surgery, every operation has it, but as Dr. Xu said, he’s personally performing the surgery and I’ll be administering the anesthesia to Mom myself. We have to trust the doctors. If the risk was too great for even the doctors to be confident, we, as medical professionals, wouldn’t be foolish enough to make things harder for ourselves, right?"

Tang Shengyi’s words served as a sedative pill for the Su family members.

"That’s good to hear. Thank you, both of you," Su Jiahao was very grateful to the couple.

It wasn’t easy for their mother to have worked so hard to raise the five of them, and in recent years, the youngest had been by her side, fulfilling filial duties.

This time, as the eldest son of the Su Family, Su Jiahao had discussed with his wife and wanted to take his elderly mother into their home to provide better filial support.

This way, Su Yangming would have more time to focus on his career and his own lifelong commitments.

Last night, during his watch, he had a long talk with his mother. At her advanced age, she wasn’t afraid of death, but there were things she wanted to witness with her own eyes and felt reluctant to leave behind.

What Granny Su worried about the most was the youngest’s marital prospects; it was also a heavy stone on their hearts as her older siblings. They had to wait until he was married off before that stone could settle.

Next up is the issue with the household of the eldest, Su Wanyi.

Su Wanyi’s life had been fairly smooth, except that her children, the eldest and the second child, had been married for a few years now without having managed to have any children.

They were unaware and unconcerned about other families’ attitudes towards children, as different families have different values. In the Su Family, having children was seen as better than being childless.

The old mother was particularly keen on Shen Xuan and Shen Yun to quickly have children, hoping for a future support for her.

"Second brother, we’re family, there’s no need for such formalities," Su Ruoan said.

Today, Su Wanyi had been silent the whole time.

Her husband, who wasn’t supportive, hadn’t shown up today, which was a slight to her in the first place. Moreover, she had long disliked Su Yangming and his wife, and today, they were truly in the spotlight.

As far as Xu Bo was concerned, it was just him and his wife, no one else mattered.

And then there were all the past events. She knew she shouldn’t feel bitter or envious at such a time, but she just couldn’t help feeling resentful.

She had thought that by marrying a husband who was better at making money than Tang Shengyi, she would have a life of pride and satisfaction over Su Ruoan.

Even though Shen Ao was a man that Su Ruoan refused to accept, Shen Ao was good at making money and had made a lot of it for her and their four children to spend.

She had assumed that Su Ruoan, despite her calm appearance, must surely be envious and resentful inside.

Over the years, she had lived contently on such self-delusion.

But this time, she really saw it. Su Ruoan had never been jealous of her life as a rich wife, and the affection between her and Tang Shengyi wasn’t just for show.

The actions of Tang Shengyi couldn’t be so natural if it were just an act; decades of consistency can’t be faked.

So, after all, which of the two sisters had the happier life?

In the end, she had lost to Su Yangming, hadn’t she?

This Su Yangming had never cared about whether her lifestyle was better than hers, right?

Haha—

It was indeed quite funny.

"Then let’s arrange another meeting in the next few days. Everyone can take turns on duty," Su Jiahao proposed, "Big sister, what do you think?"

"Big sister? Big sister—"

After calling her several times, Su Wanyi finally emerged from her thoughts. Seeing the bewildered looks of everyone, she asked awkwardly, "What... what’s the matter?"

"Nothing, big sister, just that second brother was saying, with a few days until next Monday, we should schedule the night shifts. We’ll leave you out of it, big sister. Your husband is so busy, Shen Yi needs to be taken care of, and there’s also the old lady at home. Put me on the schedule," said Xie Lan to her husband.

Xie Lan was very enthusiastic. She had previously been reluctant to do night duty and was not very willing to let Su Jiahao do it either, but now, she had completely changed her stance. It was all about making a good impression on Su Ruoan.

Xie Lan was very pragmatic and straightforward, after all, Su Ruoan had given birth to an incredibly capable Tang Su. Although Tang Su wasn’t in a major city, her knack for making powerful connections was unmatched.

She needed to show Su Ruoan her merit as a sister-in-law, so it wouldn’t be difficult to ask Tang Su for help in the future.

After hearing Xie Lan’s words, Su Wanyi felt disgruntled, "What do you mean ’leave me out of it’? Second brother’s wife, you weren’t seen doing any night shifts in the past few days, and now all of a sudden, you’re so eager to sign up. What exactly are you scheming in your heart?"

Already feeling disgruntled, Su Wanyi found Xie Lan stepping into the line of fire; she wasn’t going to hold back in unleashing all her dissatisfaction on her.

Upon hearing Su Wanyi’s words, Xie Lan’s face changed immediately. What was wrong with scheduling her? Was this how Su Wanyi was going to talk about her?

Even if she had her own schemes, so what?

Wasn’t that perfectly normal?

If everyone present was pulled aside for a talk, had their attitudes towards Tang Su and her family not changed at all?

It was truly laughable, as if she was the only one with ulterior motives.
