Chapter 656: 613 Farewell Banquet (1 more update)

Time had flown by; Tang Su had been married to Lu Han for half a year.

During that half-year, Tang Su was busy bustling about, and Lu Han was even busier, so busy that he had no time for home affairs.

Tang Su’s bookstore and coffee shop flourished brilliantly while Lu Han, together with his colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Team, had almost dealt with the Poisonous Insect cases around the country.

The Lin Family and the Tan Family suffered a lot during this period. Lin Jiaojiao’s parents and Elder Tan’s parents had pre-existing conditions, and detoxing later took their lives due to complications.

Lin Wenming and Tan Qiaoyue, deeply poisoned for too long, suffered severe consequences post-detox. Lin Wenming’s joints were frail, causing pain at the slightest carelessness. Additionally, he had severe osteoporosis, ensuring a broken bone if he were to fall.

Tan Qiaoyue developed a severe skin disease,

Both were not expected to live much longer.

Tan Qiaoyue and Lin Wenming were truly frightened, but Lu Han and Professor Ming were helpless, unable to do anything.

Lin Jiaojiao gave all her family’s money to Lin Wenming for his treatment, and Elder Tan did the same for Tan Qiaoyue. Both had able bodies, and the memories Beijing brought them were too unpleasant, so they decided to leave Beijing.

It took them half a year to settle the sundry affairs of both families.

Since both of their parents had passed away, Lin Jiaojiao’s resentment and dissatisfaction gradually subsided with their departure.

The day before their departure, Lu Han was away, dealing with another Poisonous Insect case and concluding business with his friends, missing the dinner gathering.

Tang Su took Tongtong with her.

Lu Zhu and Song Mingxiu also went; Lu Zhu was three months pregnant by then, and Song Mingxiu was extremely protective and caring toward her.

Since her pregnancy, the conflict between Lu Zhu and her mother-in-law had completely vanished. Her mother-in-law now treated her preciously, apologizing sincerely for earlier misjudgments and behaviors.

Lu Zhu forgave her.

Having Baobao inside her, Lu Zhu’s mindset shifted greatly.

She thought that in the future, she would come to understand her mother-in-law’s feelings more and more.

"Sister, your belly is so big; could it be twins?" Lu Zhu’s mother-in-law had not allowed them to announce the pregnancy till it was three months old, and now that it was just three months, Lu Zhu’s belly had visibly grown.

Lu Zhu herself had not expected this, having no experience, but her experienced mother-in-law escorted them to the hospital for an ultrasound, where they heard two heartbeats.

It was confirmed to be twins.

The last ultrasound was just to confirm it was an intrauterine pregnancy; it wasn’t the time for detailed checks.

The ultrasound that day was very comprehensive.

When they found out it was twins, Lu Zhu’s mother-in-law was overjoyed, even wanting to host a feast to invite close relatives, but Song Mingxiu restrained her.

Originally, Lu Zhu wasn’t allowed to go out, but after Song Mingxiu reassured that he would stick by her side without moving an inch, Lu Zhu’s mother-in-law agreed but reminded them to be very careful.

"You little clever ghost, how did you figure it out?" Lu Zhu did not deny it.

"When I was a child, I often went to the gynecology department to do my homework, and those aunts taught me how to tell. Later, when my parents’ colleagues got pregnant, they tested me by letting me guess before checking with an ultrasound."

"You are really amazing." Lu Zhu truly admired Tang Su.

She had even heard from Lu Han how Jiaojiao’s detoxification method was all conjured up by Tang Su. That girl was really something, seemingly ordinary, but the ideas in her head were beyond their reach.

Especially, self-preservation was her instinct.

Without a surefire guarantee, it was not easy for them to speak what was on their minds.

"Sister, you are too kind. Just because I’ve seen a lot, doesn’t mean I’m always right."

"Hmm, still, that’s a skill though."

Sun Qing came over with Bai Dingxian, their wedding date was already set for New Year’s Day. Moreover, on that day, two couples would be getting married, Bai Dingkai and Chen Duoduo with them.

Because it was a double wedding, that’s why they settled on New Year’s Day. Otherwise, Sun Qing would have likely been married off during the National Day holidays.

"Sister Lu Zhu, have Brother-in-law Song keep you company for a while, I need to borrow Tang Su for a bit."

"Sure, you guys go ahead. Tongtong is here too; I won’t be bored."

Lu Zhu had no prejudices against Tongtong anymore. In the past six months, Tang Su had taken great care of him. They had a mother-son bond, and Lu Zhu had come to accept it.

Plus, Tongtong was truly adorable, especially since he always called her ’Auntie’ warmly. Oh, it really made one’s heart melt.

"Alright."

Sun Qing took Tang Su over to where Lin Jiaojiao and Elder Tan were.

Tongtong called Lin Jiaojiao "godmother," and only then did Lu Zhu remember, "Tongtong, your godmother and godfather are treating all of us to dinner today. After dinner, they’re leaving Beijing. Hurry, go chat with them."

"Yeah, alright, Auntie, Uncle, I’ll head over first and come back later," Tongtong said.

"Go ahead," Song Mingxiu said with a smile.

Once Tongtong went over, Lin Jiaojiao hugged and kissed him several times.

"This little face has gotten quite chubby," Lin Jiaojiao said with a laugh, praising Tang Su’s parenting skills.

"Tongtong is easy to care for," said Tang Su, modestly not taking the credit.

"Has Lu Han not returned yet?" asked Elder Tan.

"Yes, why don’t you two wait for him? Also, it doesn’t seem right for you to leave without celebrating Sun Qing and Duoduo’s wedding," Tang Su expressed reluctance to let them leave just like that.

It seemed they didn’t plan on going back to Hua City either.

"No need, we’re just going out, it’s not a permanent return. Besides, with today’s transport, no matter where we are, we can always come back in time to celebrate with a drink," Elder Tan assured.

"But I still need to wait for Lu Han to return. He has a special dining skill he wants to pass on to me; otherwise..." Elder Tan said as he cracked some sunflower seeds.

"A dining skill? What kind of skill is that?"

"I’m not telling you, man’s secret," Elder Tan said with a pretentious flare.

Three women: "..."

In the end, Lin Jiaojiao handed Elder Tan off to Bai Dingxian and the others, "You men can chat over there. We ladies don’t need your interference."

Elder Tan was swiftly sent away.

Lin Jiaojiao poured tea for Tang Su, "Tang Su, even though I’ve already expressed so many thanks to you and Lu Han, I still feel it’s never enough. I will return to Beijing in the future because this beautiful city holds beautiful people like you."

"Jiaojiao, I really hate to see you leave," Sun Qing genuinely felt reluctant.

"I’m just stepping out to roam while I’m young. You take care too. Now that you have more family, I’m not as worried about you," Lin Jiaojiao reassured her.

With that, Sun Qing and Lin Jiaojiao embraced each other.
