Chapter 666: 623 Supporting Audience (1 update)

After Old Lady Su’s funeral, Su Ruoan and Tang Shengyi returned to Hua City, while Professor Ming stayed behind.

The number of people afflicted by the Poisonous Insect Poison in G City kept increasing, with He Zhendong’s calls for help to Lu Han coming one after another, sounding like death knells.

Even though the Detox Pills had been effective, the poisoner showed no sign of relenting; one person recovered, and another fell ill. He Zhendong was completely overwhelmed and desperately needed Lu Han’s assistance.

Having discussed with Professor Ming, Lu Han decided to send friends with his Detox Pills to support He Zhendong. One such friend, Li Xuan, would be sufficient to calm He Zhendong’s frantic heart.

On this side, the explanation to the friends was that Tang Su was pregnant, less than three months along, and not in stable condition, so Lu Han needed to stay in Beijing to take care of her.

As for himself, he used the excuse of having found his granddaughter and wanting to confirm it, so he stayed in Beijing with Lu Han.

All that was left was to wait for the other party to fall into chaos.

Lu Han thought Professor Ming’s method was pretty good, but he was dissatisfied with Professor Ming dragging Tang Su into it.

Even more curiously, Professor Ming apparently had a granddaughter.

His last trip to Hua City, don’t tell him his granddaughter was his mother-in-law? With Professor Ming’s age, his mother-in-law being his granddaughter actually made some sense.

Deep down, Lu Han hoped this wasn’t the case; otherwise, if he seriously calculated the kinship, it would be much too confusing.

"Professor Ming, when did you learn to talk such nonsense?" After sending off the friends, Lu Han finally had the opportunity to confront Professor Ming.

"What nonsense did I talk?"

"You’re spreading false rumors about Tang Su being pregnant, and didn’t you say before that all your children had passed on before you? How come you have a granddaughter then?" Lu Han retorted.

"Just because my children are dead, it doesn’t mean I can’t have a grandchild or great-grandchild alive," Professor Ming raised his eyebrows in response.

He was never a man to spin tales out of nothing. Besides, given Lu Han’s profound feelings for Tang Su, his offspring were likely to thrive for generations.

Lu Han said no more; arguing was pointless.

He was well past the age where if someone tried to swindle him, he could do nothing about it.

Not all the seven friends went along; Solitary Eagle took Fierce Tiger and Poisonous Snake to aid He Zhendong, leaving Shadow, Fierce Tiger, and White Fox behind.

With Professor Ming in Beijing, those three had a legitimate reason to stay.

The friends who went to G City were as busy as dogs, while those mixing with Professor Ming had plenty of leisure time. Lu Han’s days were the most comfortable.

He was constantly lovey-dovey with his wife.

So lovey-dovey that it made the straight-laced Fierce Tiger unable to bear watching.

"Hey, you two, Rabbit’s been married for more than half a year now—haven’t you had enough of being lovey-dovey with your wife?" On a rare day off, everyone was soaking up the sun in front of Professor Ming’s yard, leisurely chatting and munching on sunflower seeds.

"Just half a year and you think it’s enough? Is Rabbit that kind of heartless and ungrateful man?" Shadow asked, at a loss for words.

Lu Han was no longer the aloof and reserved Rabbit he once was. Couldn’t people just let him have his own love life?

"Shadow, I didn’t mean that, hey, White Fox, back me up here."

"With a mouth like yours, not even a dog can spit out ivory. What am I supposed to help you explain?" White Fox was also cracking sunflower seeds, preferring to shell them first before eating them in one bite.

After finishing a handful of sunflower seed kernels, White Fox dusted off her hands, "Ah, I’m a bit thirsty. Shadow, feel like having some coffee? Shall we go?"

Shadow shook his head, "I won’t. Coffee keeps me up at night."

"Alright then, I’ll go. Fierce Tiger, do you want coffee?"

"Nah, what’s so good about that bitter stuff?" Fierce Tiger also expressed his aversion.

"Rabbit’s wife runs a coffee shop, and their business is booming. Even if we don’t drink it, we should at least go and support them," she said.

"Now that’s a great idea. Shadow, let’s go and show some support for Rabbit."

Shadow: "..."

In the end, the three of them left the house together.

After Su Ruoan and Tang Shengyi left, Tang Su started to tend the shop.

Lately, she had been itching to brew coffee, so she spent more time in the cafe than at the bookstore.

When Professor Ming pestered Lu Han to come to the cafe to ask for some coffee, she personally made a pot of fragrant, strong coffee for him.

She also included some small desserts.

This shop was different from the cafes in Hua City. In Hua City’s cafes, there were all varieties of coffee but no paired desserts. However, in this shop due to its larger size, not only could they serve guests, but they could also have a transparent sweets-making workshop in the kitchen.

The master of desserts was specially recruited by Wu Jie, and was a very high-grade master.

Sweet but not rich, Tang Su couldn’t help but choose a few items each day to satisfy her cravings.

The desserts she provided Professor Ming were ones she had tried herself, found to be good, and also quite suitable for the elderly gentleman.

"When did you start offering this extra service?" Lu Han hadn’t been to the cafe in a while and didn’t expect that coffee could be paired with desserts.

"We’ve had it for a while, and you know what? Ever since Chef Wei’s dessert service began, the business at our cafe has been doing so well that I’m surprised."

"Lu Han, your little wife is really like her grandma, such a little money-grubber."

"..."

Tang Su thought Professor Ming was referring to Old Lady Su, so she asked curiously, "Professor Ming, did you know my grandma a long time ago?"

"That’s for sure..." Then Professor Ming realized that the grandma Tang Su was talking about wasn’t his less fortunate wife but the recently deceased Old Lady Su.

"I’m not very familiar with that grandmother of yours."

"..."

What does he mean ’that grandmother’? She only had one grandma. Professor Ming’s words sounded as if she had two grandmothers.

Just as Tang Su started to feel puzzled, the Shadow trio entered.

There were many people in the lobby on the first floor, and the three didn’t like the noise. The waiter took them to the second floor, and once upstairs, they saw Lu Han and Professor Ming, who had returned from seeing someone off at the airport.

Professor Ming had something to explain to Solitary Eagle and the others, so he had Lu Han act as the driver to take them to the airport.

"Professor, Bunny." Fierce Tiger sat down in front of them and then turned to Tang Su, "Bunny’s wife, could you make us some coffees that aren’t too bitter?"

"Sure, just a moment."

"This kind in my pot is fine," Professor Ming strongly recommended, then scolded Fierce Tiger, "A man scared of bitterness?"

"I’m not afraid of the bitterness of bitter melon, but the bitterness of coffee, that’s a bit strange."

"Boss Tang, I’ll have a pot of Americano," White Fox told Tang Su.

"Alright, and you?" Tang Su turned to ask Shadow.

"I’ll just have a glass of lemon water, thank you."

"You’re welcome, just a moment."

Tang Su decided to go downstairs to brew the coffee for them personally. Lu Han stood up to offer help, but Tang Su stopped him, "No need. Why don’t you go and chat with them? Do you want a private room?"

"No need."

"Okay."
