Chapter 362: 331 Doubts, Crack (2nd update)_1

As dusk fell, the two returned to the teahouse.

Then, Lu Maoyan took everyone to the Lu Family’s restaurant for dinner, and also invited Lu Zhu and her husband.

However, upon arriving at the restaurant, the group realized that only Lu Zhu was there; Song Mingxiu hadn’t come.

Bai Wei raised an eyebrow, "Where’s Mingxiu?"

"The once-a-semester field painting class has arrived; he took his students to the painting base affiliated with their school this morning," Lu Zhu explained.

"Oh."

Bai Wei was startled, as she initially thought that after dining at the Song Family yesterday, there must have been a quarrel.

It was also because Tang Su’s sudden arrival in Beijing made her extremely happy, which led her to completely forget about it.

"What, did you think we had a fight?" Lu Zhu knew all too well what her mother was thinking. If she didn’t see her son-in-law, she would definitely assume it was her daughter who had offended her precious son-in-law.

Sigh, it’s really troublesome.

Other mothers protect their daughters, fearing they would be bullied by their in-laws or husband.

Her mother, on the other hand, seemed to worry that her daughter would be bullying others.

"As long as there’s no issue," Bai Wei said, not asking further since there were so many people around.

Seeing that Bai Wei dropped the subject, Lu Zhu took the initiative and latched onto Tang Su’s arm, "Tang Su, I heard that your grandmother’s surgery has been scheduled for next Monday, right?"

"Yes, sister," Tang Su nodded.

"On Monday, the leaders at my workplace have a meeting, so I might not make it. After work, I’ll come to see the old lady," Lu Zhu apologetically said.

"You really don’t need to, sister. You’re so busy. Just focus on work. Besides, after my grandmother’s surgery is over, our whole family will be heading back," Tang Su replied.

"So soon? I haven’t even had the chance to take you around Beijing properly," Lu Zhu felt a bit regretful.

Initially, she had planned to test Tang Su, but after being enlightened by Song Mingxiu, she gradually realized, what was there to test?

Her own brother, Lu Han, wasn’t foolish and had very high standards.

Song Mingxiu knew her brother, Lu Han, better, saying that any girl Lu Han picked, even if not particularly outstanding in all aspects, wouldn’t be bad.

Lu Zhu then reflected, Tang Su had given her a very good first impression, and her parents liked the girl too. Even their grandfather held a high opinion.

The notoriously picky old man from the Wu Family also spoke highly of Tang Su. Everyone’s eyes were clear, and Lu Zhu wasn’t foolish. With her busy work and fast-paced life, she had no time to test Tang Su.

"It’s okay, sister. When you and Teacher Song have time, come visit Hua City. We can get together then," Tang Su reassured her.

"Yeah, that makes sense. I think we’ll probably meet again soon, and there will be plenty of time in the days to come, don’t you think?" Lu Zhu teased.

Tang Su blushed and lowered her head.

Seeing this, Lu Han, who was protective of his wife, raised an eyebrow and said, "Sister, can you stop bullying her?"

Lu Zhu dissatisfied, "Who am I bullying?"

"No, sister wasn’t bullying me," Tang Su also spoke up, defending Lu Zhu.

Lu Zhu lifted her head, "Did you hear that? Your brother-in-law isn’t here, and you’re bullying me, right? Be careful."

Holding Tang Su’s hand, Lu Zhu then shared with her what Song Mingxiu had told her.

"Tang Su, you’ll have to watch out for this stinker in the future. Love is love, but this kid is full of schemes. If he tries to pull one over on you, even the two of us combined wouldn’t be a match for him," she warned.

"Your Teacher Song said that a few years ago, some photos went missing from his study. After meeting you that day and recognizing you as his student, he went home and recalled this incident. Among the photos he lost, you were in them, so it’s almost certain that Lu Han the rascal took them."

"This kid, he’s probably had his eye on you for quite some time now."

Tang Su: "..."

Tang Su quietly glanced at Lu Han, who was talking with her older brother. A few years ago?

When exactly was that?

She had always thought that their last meeting, which was after Ye Sichen had slapped her, was their first encounter in eight years.

If Lu Han had taken her photo from Teacher Song’s study a few years ago,

then was his reason to volunteer in Hua City not just to repay a so-called debt?

Also, why was her father so lucky to buy the place right across from Lu Han at such a cheap price?

Once suspicion crept into one’s heart, it would lead to speculation on every front.

"Xiaozhu, what did you say that scared Tang Su like this?" Bai Wei turned around just in time to see Tang Su’s perturbed reaction and walked over to them.

"I didn’t say anything, I just..."

Before Lu Zhu could finish speaking, Tang Su’s phone began to ring.

She dug out her phone from her bag and saw that it was from her aunt Su Wanyi. Tang Su didn’t hang up, but instead apologized to Bai Wei and her daughter, "Auntie, Sister, I need to take a call."

"Sure, go ahead," Bai Wei and Lu Zhu nodded.

"Mom, mom, it’s a call from Auntie," Tang Su called Su Ruoan over.

Su Ruoan furrowed her brows, "Hm? What does your aunt want with you? Why didn’t she call me?"

Su Ruoan took out her phone from her pocket, only to discover it had been switched off at some point.

Thinking it might be because Su Wanyi couldn’t reach her, Su Ruoan worried there might be some issue on the old lady’s side and without another word hurriedly answered Tang Su’s phone.

However, Su Wanyi was even quicker. Without waiting for her to speak, Su Wanyi gently called out to Tang Su, "Tang Su, where are you girls shopping? Aren’t you coming home for dinner tonight?"

"Sister, it’s me. We’re not going home for dinner today; we’ll eat out," Su Ruoan wondered why Su Wanyi’s tone was so gentle and enthusiastic; it was very unlike her typical demeanor as the formidable eldest sister of the Su Family.

"Oh, eating out is good. What time can you get back? I’ve been making chicken soup at home. When you get back, have some. Don’t order any soupy dishes while you’re out."

"Thank you, Sister. We should be back after dinner. Is there something wrong at Mom’s?"

"No, nothing’s wrong, the caregiver is taking good care of her. Today, Mingze said he would stay overnight," Su Wanyi said, when in fact it was supposed to be her turn along with Shen Ao that night, but since Shen Ao didn’t want to, she swapped shifts with Su Mingze.

Actually, it wouldn’t be a problem if their family didn’t go over as the caregivers were quite professional.

"That’s good. If there’s anything else, we can talk about it when we get back."

"Sure, take your time eating, there’s no rush."

"Mhm."

After hanging up the phone, although Su Ruoan still couldn’t understand why Su Wanyi had suddenly changed her treatment towards them, she then remembered how she had previously insisted that Tang Shengyi should not be allowed to enter the sickroom, but later allowed him when they needed his help.

After all, he was an anesthetist and had very professional opinions to offer the primary physician.

Furthermore, it might be that Su Wanyi needed their help with something.

No matter what, they would discuss it after dinner when they got back.

"Let’s go, we shouldn’t keep them waiting," Su Ruoan said.

"Mhm."

Tang Su swallowed back her doubts.
