Chapter 520: 483 Eventually it’s going to be cruel to dogs (1 more update)

"This isn’t a red envelope. You can’t see the amount in a red envelope, and it’s capped at 200. What you did was a transfer." Sun Qing said as she pocketed the money into her waist pouch.

The comment made Lu Han laugh, "Well, how about you return it, and we’ll send you a capped red envelope instead."

"Doctor Lu, how come the richer you get, the stingier you become? And besides, during the New Year, who ever returns a red envelope after it’s been given out? If I didn’t accept it, wouldn’t that be disrespecting you both?" Sun Qing raised her eyebrows, arguing unreasonably.

"Heh, no worries, we don’t need face, we need money."

"Stop teasing her," Tang Su told Lu Han, reaching out her hand midair, which then Lu Han held.

"Okay," Lu Han obediently responded.

"Enough from you two, giving me a red envelope just as a prelude. In the end, you are going to indulge in some PDA, aren’t you?"

"Pfft..."

Both laughed, even the driver couldn’t help but join in.

So, their young lady was this easy-going with friends outside, not like at home where she was so aloof that no one wanted to bother with her.

Soon after, Tang Su’s phone started to vibrate again.

Tang Su took it out—it was a call from Su Yu.

"Hello, Brother."

"Watching the fireworks?" Su Yu asked directly.

"Hmm, no, we’ve decided to go to Huaqing Mountain."

"My master and I were planning to head there too. Where are you at? Shall we go together?" Su Yu temporarily didn’t mention Bai Simen.

"We’ve been on the road for a while already. Why don’t you and Wu Jie head straight to Huaqing Mountain and find us there once you arrive?"

Upon hearing Wu Jie’s name, Lu Han’s grip tightened.

Tang Su felt it and gave Lu Han a glance. Lu Han didn’t say anything, turning his head toward the window, not wanting her to see him looking like a jealous husband.

"That works. Tang Su, happy New Year."

"Thanks, Brother, happy New Year to you too."

After exchanging wishes, they hung up the phone.

Tang Su turned to look at Lu Han, "What’s wrong? My brother is with Wu Jie."

"Hmm, I heard. Did you tell them to come find you?"

"They were going to Huaqing Mountain anyway. If I didn’t let them come, do you think they wouldn’t?" Tang Su chided Doctor Lu for being so petty.

Lu Han: "..."

If there hadn’t been an outsider in the car, he would have pulled her over and dealt with her properly.

Who was he being petty?

**

A small convoy of cars parked side by side at the foot of Huaqing Mountain. When Sun Qing got out, Bai Dingxian was quite surprised. He thought for sure she would have gone back to Sun Family’s home by now. All the way, he wrestled with the question of when would be a good time to call and ask.

Fortunately, he had held back from calling.

Otherwise, he would have truly made a fool of himself.

After exchanging well-wishes, they ended the call.

Tang Su turned to Lu Han. "What’s up? My brother and Wu Jie are together."

"Yeah, I heard. Did you ask them to come find you?"

"They were going to Huaqing Mountain anyway. If I didn’t ask them to come, would they not come? Doctor Lu, don’t be so petty."

Lu Han: "..."

If there hadn’t been other people in the car, he would have pulled her over and given her a good talking to.

What did he do to be called petty?

**

The small caravan parked side by side at the foot of Huaqing Mountain. When Sun Qing got out of the car, Bai Dingxian was surprised to see her. He thought she would definitely have gone back to the Sun Family. All the way, he was agonizing over when it would be appropriate to call and ask.

Luckily, he managed not to call.

Otherwise, it really would have been a joke.

"Sun Qing, you didn’t leave?" Lu Zhu saw Sun Qing and was happily surprised.

Exactly, they were all young people hanging out together; after a quarrel or something, just ignore Bai Dingxian, and they could still spend New Year’s Eve together.

"Yeah, I thought about it and decided there’s no need to upset myself over someone." Sun Qing nodded.

That someone: ...

"That’s right, as a woman, we need to let go a little. Otherwise, who would feel bad for us if we end up with a blocked milk duct one day?" Lu Zhu came over and put an arm around Sun Qing’s shoulder.

"Sister Lu Zhu, it’s true that women understand women better."

"Let’s go, up the mountain."

"Okay."

Bai Simeng and Chen Duoduo also joined the women’s group after getting out of the car. Tang Su naturally moved towards the main troop unconsciously, and Lu Han had wanted to continue spending one-on-one time with her.

But then, Lu Zhu spoke, "Hey, Lu Han, you’re loaning your wife to us for a bit, and you’re already reluctant to part with her?"

"Hey, Lu Zhu, they’re newlyweds, can’t you let them be affectionate for a bit?" Bai Dingyang spoke up in their defense.

"As if no one else has been newlyweds. Everyone will have their turn, and no one is that clingy during New Year’s Eve. We’re going up a mountain, and this holy place doesn’t even allow such intimacy. Tang Su, come here."

Lu Zhu had plenty of reasons.

Stumped, Bai Dingyang couldn’t bring up any counterarguments.

No one else dared to argue with Lu Zhu, after all, when it came to eloquence, none of them could beat Lu Zhu.

"Are you guys ready? Go buy some water; we’re preparing to climb the mountain. If we really can’t make it, we’ll take the cable car halfway up. Anyway, we also have cable car tickets."

"Wait a second, Elder Tan and Lin Jiaojiao just called, asking us to wait for them; they’re on their way to Huaqing Mountain as well."

The Guanghua Temple on Huaqing Mountain is nationally renowned, with some people from out of town staying in Beijing in advance, and then specially going up the mountain on New Year’s Eve night to offer incense at dawn for the new year.

Since there’s a limit on the number of people allowed on the mountain, not everyone has the chance to go up. There’s also a special area prepared on the plaza for worshippers to offer incense. If one is sincere, then a makeshift solution will do for some people.

"Lin Jiaojiao? She finally deigned to return to Beijing?" Lu Zhu raised an eyebrow.

Lu Han’s circle was pretty much also Lu Zhu’s circle.

Even though Lu Zhu usually didn’t contact them as frequently as Lu Han, chatting with them in the group chat and such, she still knew everything about them.

Especially the affairs of Lin Jiaojiao and Elder Tan. After knowing the story of her parents from the past, she naturally supported Lin Jiaojiao. Lin Jiaojiao was truly kind-hearted.

Just like her mother, she was so pure at heart that she endured being wrongfully accused and wore a huge label, all for the sake of an innocent child she decided to bear it all.

As for Elder Tan, he really had good fortune to have caught Lin Jiaojiao’s eye.

Back then, there were so many men pursuing Lin Jiaojiao; she was indeed the envy of countless men in Beijing.

Even Lu Zhu could not compete with the charm of Lin Jiaojiao.

There were so many women in Beijing who envied Lin Jiaojiao, yet she was an exception. She was one of Lin Jiaojiao’s rare confidantes in Beijing.

After Lin Jiaojiao left, the two had not been in touch, mainly because Lin Jiaojiao did not want to contact her, also to prevent the dirt that splashed on her from reaching Lu Zhu.

Even if Lu Zhu didn’t care.

But Lin Jiaojiao cared; she didn’t want her confidante to be involved because of her.

Public opinion is fearsome; even the mightiest can’t clear their name amidst those terrible and pathetic rumors.

Lin Jiaojiao chose not to reason with these people.

With the time spent reasoning, she might as well make good use of it and live her own life well.

Lu Zhu respected her choice.

There’s a saying that’s quite right: everyone has their own life choices, just as when drinking water, one knows oneself whether it’s cold or warm.

Since everyone knew Lin Jiaojiao and Elder Tan, Lu Zhu decided to wait for them, then they would all take the cable car up together.

She then hurried Song Mingxiu to buy two more tickets quickly.

Normally, tickets would definitely be unavailable, but with their group making a move, a phone call would have plenty of people delivering tickets to them.

This wasn’t a worry.

Around eleven o’clock, Lin Jiaojiao and Elder Tan finally reached the gathering spot of the group.
