Chapter 663: 620 The Truth About Being Late (1 more update)

"Stop talking nonsense," Su Ruoan said, startled, as she rebuked Tang Shengyi in a low voice.

This question had puzzled Tang Shengyi for many years. When they got married, Old Lady Su had never liked Tang Shengyi, and as a result, her disdain for Su Ruoan among her three daughters had only grown.

When they married, Old Lady Su hadn’t given Su Ruoan any dowry money. Instead, within his capabilities, Tang Shengyi had provided a bride price.

Because he wasn’t as wealthy as his brother-in-law, the bride price he offered was naturally incomparable to his brother-in-law’s, something that Old Lady Su always held against him.

This also affected Tang Feng and Tang Su, who were not favored by their grandmother.

This wasn’t the first time he had suspected that Su Ruoan might not be Old Lady Su’s biological daughter, apart from Old Lady Su’s partiality. There was their lack of resemblance.

When Tang Shengyi married Su Ruoan, Old Master Su had already passed away. At that time, he had indeed heard that Ruoan resembled the deceased Old Master Su, not Old Lady Su.

This had dispelled Tang Shengyi’s doubts.

Tang Shengyi had never seen Old Master Su in person, but from the photos Old Master Su had left behind, there was quite a resemblance between Su Ruoan and him in the features of their eyes and eyebrows.

"I’ve told you not to talk about this before, why are you bringing it up again now?"

"Fine, I won’t mention it ever again, I promise this is the last time," Tang Shengyi raised his hand.

"Oh, Old Tang, making such vows early in the morning?" their colleague came over, unable to resist teasing them when he saw Tang Shengyi’s gesture.

"Who says you can’t make vows in the early morning?"

"..."

Su Ruoan smiled wryly, turning to head to the clinic to start her workday.

Because Professor Ming hadn’t gone to Capital City for Sun Qing’s wedding, the couple and he decided to go there only after they heard about Old Lady Su’s sudden critical illness.

Professor Ming had also been planning to enjoy his youngest daughter’s cooking for another two days before going to Beijing to help Lu Han with his troubles. The Poisonous Insect Poison case in G City reassured him that someone genuinely wanted Lu Han out of Beijing.

Moreover, the day after their friend’s wedding ended, someone was poisoned again, all of which clearly pointed to Lu Han as the target.

He said as much to that guy, who at the time didn’t take it seriously.

Now, would he still not believe it?

Hearing about Old Lady Su’s critical condition, Professor Ming also planned to visit her.

After all, she was his student’s wife, and besides, they had raised his daughter for him. It was only right to say thank you.

**

When Tang Su heard about Old Madam’s critical illness, she was in a coffee shop. Grandpa Wu feeling bored at home, had asked his driver to take him out, and they ended up here.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Su felt anxious. Even though she wasn’t very fond of Old Lady Su, she was still her mother’s mother, and they shared a blood relation.

This family bond did exist. Besides, with her parents far away in Hua City, even if she bought an immediate flight ticket, it would take hours to arrive, so it was only fitting that she went to visit first in place of her mother.

"Grandpa Wu, I’m sorry, my grandmother is ill again. I need to go see her, so I won’t be able to keep you company. Next time, I’ll take you out for a meal."

"Okay, go ahead," Grandpa Wu said.

It suddenly occurred to Grandpa Wu, "Tang Su, your grandmother and your mother don’t really look alike, do they?"

"Hmm, my mom resembles my grandpa."

"I see."

When Tang Su arrived at the hospital, Old Lady Su had already been moved out of the emergency room and was in the ICU under observation, with Su Family members gathered around.

Su Yangming and Zhao Xinlan were both present.

Since Zhao Xinlan had become a member of the Su Family, Su Wanyi’s family had not been able to bully Tang Su at family gatherings in the past half year, not even verbally. Zhao Xinlan wouldn’t allow it.

As Su Wanyi’s family’s fortunes waned, she no longer had the confidence to look down on Su Ruoan’s family.

Yet, as the eldest of the Su Family, she still was the senior sister, so, even if her younger siblings were doing well, they still wouldn’t dare to disregard her authority.

However, Zhao Xinlan, when she was in the Jiang Family, always bore everything silently and made concessions for Jiang Tao, making her own life uncomfortable and allowing the Jiang Family to take advantage of her.

Having had this experience, after she started living with Su Yangming, Su Yangming once said that he liked her independent nature, and she need not suppress her true self in front of the Su Family members.

Because what he liked was her true self.

Therefore, Zhao Xinlan naturally protected Tang Su. Now Tang Su not only called her aunt but was also her beloved goddaughter, and she absolutely wouldn’t let Su Wanyi’s family speak ill of her even once.

"Tang Su, you’re here. Grandma is in the ICU, and when the visiting hours arrive, I’ll accompany you inside,"

"Mm."

"I’ve also informed your parents—they might be able to arrive this afternoon."

"Okay."

Su Ruowan and Tang Shengyi had received the call and immediately booked the earliest flight to Beijing, with Professor Ming accompanying them to the hospital.

When Lu Han saw Professor Ming, he realized that the "old acquaintance" Professor Ming had met in Hua City was actually his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

This old man is really...

With Su Wanyi’s family absent, Su Yangming and Zhao Xinlan stood by, and with Tang Su and Lu Han also present, Professor Ming made a request in front of everyone—he wanted to visit Old Madam first.

"Does the old gentleman know our mother?" Su Yangming asked.

"I’ve met her. I’m more familiar with your father, Su Zeyang," said Professor Ming.

"I see," Su Yangming nodded, "then we are in your debt."

"Not at all."

Professor Ming went inside with a nurse. Old Lady Su was receiving oxygen. The last time she saw Professor Ming was at Tang Su’s wedding. The old man had a distinctive appearance.

She didn’t have a good memory, but she could remember that.

"You—"

"Li Yuhua, long time no see," Professor Ming called out Old Lady Su’s maiden name.

"We..."

"I am Su Zeyang’s mentor, his choice to practice medicine was also influenced by me. He was a man of significant talent in his era, tragically, too short-lived."

"Is it... you?"

Old Lady Su could hardly believe it. The white-haired old man standing before her, looking about her age, was that Mingshou?

He’s still alive?

And he...

"Indeed, I am Mingshou. I am very old, but I am still alive. Can’t die, actually, I quite wish I could."

Old Lady Su: "..."

Everyone wants a long life; living to a ripe old age is a common wish among people. Such a prolonged life, as his, was even enviable.

"I came today to say thank you, thank you for helping Zeyang and me raise my little daughter."

"Your little daughter?" Old Lady Su frowned.

What was he talking about?

His daughter would be of the same generation as her and Su Yangming, wouldn’t she?

Moreover, how could she have raised his daughter?
