Chapter 651: 608 Father-Daughter Reunion (2 updates)

They packed some changes of clothes and moved their belongings into the trunk of one of the Land Rovers in the underground garage. Then, they switched to another car, ready to go out and purchase supplies.

Just as Tang Su had buckled her seatbelt, Lin Wenming’s call came through.

Lu Han hit the speakerphone, and Lin Wenming’s voice, filled with panic and pleading, came over, "Lu Han, Lu Han, save our whole family, please, I beg you, I beg you."

"..."

After a silent ten seconds, Lin Wenming’s shaking voice said, "Lu Han, for Jiaojiao’s sake, our whole family realizes our mistakes. We know we’ve wronged Jiaojiao over the years, and we want to make it up to her. Will you give us a chance? Please?"

"Why are you asking me?" Lu Han remained calm.

Even as Lin Wenming brought up Lin Jiaojiao, Lu Han felt no flicker of emotion.

What does it mean to know they have erred?

What does it mean to say they have wronged Jiaojiao over the years and want to make it up to her?

They were clearly trying to use Jiaojiao’s name to get him to help them.

Their intentions couldn’t be more sinister.

Lin Wenming: "???"

Why?

What else could it be?

Both Lin Jiaojiao and Tan Lixin had come into contact with Lin Menmen. She had used nasty methods against them. Wasn’t it because Lu Han had stepped in to rescue them, pulling them back from the brink of death?

That proves that only Lu Han has such capability. Isn’t it right to ask him for help?

"Because only you can do it, Lu Han. Aren’t doctors supposed to cherish life? You can’t just stand by and let people die. We know you’re still on your honeymoon, and we really didn’t want to bother you, but..."

"Knowing that I’m on my honeymoon is enough. If you’re sick, go to the hospital and see a doctor. I’m busy with other things now, so don’t call again." Lu Han hung up the phone directly and blocked Lin Wenming’s number.

Lin Wenming’s number was never stored in his contacts in the first place.

Between them, there was absolutely no affection or righteousness to exploit. Who gave Lin Wenming the courage to come begging to him directly?

Quite ridiculous, actually.

Over there, Lin Wenming had not expected Lu Han to be so blunt and hang up the call.

Confronted with the hopeful gazes of his entire family, Lin Wenming felt miserable inside, but they all developed terrible pustules on their bodies. They had visited the hospital, where the doctors said they needed to be isolated, but they didn’t want to isolate themselves and had run out of the hospital.

However, those disgusting pustules were growing larger and larger, always at risk of bursting.

After Tan Lixin’s house was unsealed, he did let Lin Wenming come in to look for Lin Menmen’s possessions left in that house, but he didn’t find those pills that could maintain eternal youth and vitality, which were helpful to them.

It had been too long since they took the medicine pills, and their bodies felt increasingly amiss. They often felt an inexplicable fatigue, pain, and they spent whole nights unable to sleep.

Lin Wenming had been through this before. Once, when he tried to oppose Lin Menmen over the issue with Tan Rongrong, Lin Menmen deliberately withheld the pills from him. He knew then that Lin Menmen was controlling their whole family through the pills.

But by that time, he couldn’t go on without Lin Menmen’s special efficacy pills and naturally did whatever Lin Menmen said.

Now, without taking Lin Menmen’s medicine for some time, all the aftereffects showed up, and their thoughts gradually became clearer.

They figured they could shift all the blame for the harm caused to Lin Jiaojiao onto Lin Menmen. After all, Lin Menmen was also dead, gone without a chance to dispute the blame.

But unexpectedly, Elder Tan had sold the house and was no longer planning to return to the Tan Family to take over the business. Once the toxins were cleansed from his and Lin Jiaojiao’s bodies, he planned to take Jiaojiao away from Beijing and start anew.

Elder Tan’s choice was still to keep his distance from both families, returning to the state where everyone had nothing to do with each other as before.

Lin Jiaojiao was utterly indifferent to them; no matter how sincerely they apologized, admitted their faults, or expressed regret, Lin Jiaojiao remained heartlessly resolute.

He could understand Lin Jiaojiao’s stance for doing so, but he really couldn’t come to terms with her heartlessness and lack of compassion.

Now, Lu Han was doing the same.

When Father Lin couldn’t get through to Lu Han, he said directly, "Go find Jiaojiao again. The poison in her and Tan Lixin’s bodies has to be cured. Let’s go see who helped them detoxify."

"Okay, sounds good."

After hanging up the phone, Su Ruoan told Bai Wei that they would visit an old man next door later.

Bai Wei had previously taken a liking to that apartment and had wanted to buy it before Tang Su’s and Lu Han’s wedding so that later on, it would be convenient for Su Ruoan and others when coming to Beijing.

Unexpectedly, Bai Wei had not been able to contact the owner at that time.

Now, she realized that the owner was an old man who had been invited by Lu Han to attend the wedding.

But after seeing him in person, Bai Wei thought he didn’t seem too bad.

It was rare to find an elderly person of such age who could still live independently, care for themselves, and not trouble the younger generation.

"You’re going to visit that old man?" Bai Wei, worried that Su Ruoan would struggle to cope alone, offered to accompany her. "I’ll go with you then. I’m not busy anyway."

"Thank you, Weiwei, but it’s not necessary for today. I want to go alone and see first, and besides, he might not even want to see me."

"All right, but if he doesn’t see you, call me and I’ll think of something," Bai Wei said with sound loyalty.

"Okay."

Su Ruoan didn’t ask Tang Shengyi to join her and she went across by herself.

She was in luck; when she knocked on the door, Professor Ming had just returned home.

"Looking for me?" Professor Ming stood behind Su Ruoan and asked with particular kindness, treating her with especial gentleness.

After all, she was the little daughter he had when he was one hundred fifty years old.

Now, she was his only remaining relative.

Of course, her two children were also his family.

"Good morning, sir. I am Su Ruoan, mother of Tang Su, who was the bride at yesterday’s wedding. You..."

It was only when they were face to face that Su Ruoan realized how many wrinkles lined his face, which indicated his advanced age. She estimated he must be at least in his nineties.

Therefore, Su Ruoan was concerned about his memory and felt compelled to provide such details.

"I know, come in and sit for a while. I’ve just returned from the new home of Lu Han and Tang Su."

"Okay, thank you, sir."

"No need for thanks. After all, I live alone, and if it weren’t for wandering the world, I really wouldn’t know how to occupy my time. The community used to call me, wanting to send people over to warm my heart, but I found it bothersome. I don’t even use my mobile phone, it’s too noisy."

With his little daughter, Professor Ming turned from a cold old man to a chatty one.

After opening the door, Professor Ming welcomed Su Ruoan in. The house was as clean as new. He explained with a smile, "That young man Lu Han treats me well. When I’m not home, he arranges for someone to clean my place regularly. So, every time I come back, it’s very clean."

"Yes, Lu Han is really a good person. Sir, have you known Lu Han for a long time?"
