When Tang Su heard Tang Su had also come back, Su Ruoan immediately put down the spatula in her hand and ran out of the kitchen, only to see Tang Su leading Lu Han into the living room of their home.
In front of Lu Han, Su Ruoan naturally couldn’t scold Tang Su directly. She only used her eyes to silently ask her why she had come back with him.
Hadn’t they agreed that she would go to Sun Qing for dinner?
Facing her mother’s accusatory gaze, Tang Su pouted and made a playful gesture to brush it off.
After all, she had come back, and her mother surely wouldn’t drive her out of the house in front of a guest, would she?
Tang Su was right, with Lu Han present, Su Ruoan naturally couldn’t kick her daughter out. She hurriedly invited Lu Han to sit down, “Lu Han, you’re only here for a meal, why did you buy so many things? We really feel embarrassed.”
“Senior Sister, it’s only proper,” Lu Han replied politely.
Tang Shengyi thought to himself upon seeing this stable temperament of Lu Han’s, that it was much better than Ye Sichen’s false refinement.
Really, without comparison, there’s no harm.
If it weren’t for Lu Han’s true quality right before his eyes, he might have mistaken Ye Sichen for a paragon of modern gentlemanliness.
Perhaps his experience was still too shallow. He nearly pushed his precious daughter into a pit of fire.
That was a close call, indeed.
“Okay, okay, I know you’re the most courteous, sit down first. I’ll just stir fry a couple more dishes. Once everyone’s here, we can start eating,” Su Ruoan laughed heartily, this being the first time in her life playing matchmaker.
If it weren’t for Zhao Xinlan constantly complaining in her ear, plus the fact that she was her good friend, she really might not have agreed to undertake this arduous task.
Upon hearing that there were still others to arrive, Tang Su astutely furrowed her brow, she had thought that today’s dinner was specially meant for Lu Han to visit their home. What now?
Her mother’s words sounded as if there were some secret arrangements?
She was truly relieved that she had thick-skinnedly tagged along.

Otherwise, who knows what sort of trouble could have ensued.
However, wasn’t it she who had invited Doctor Lu? Wasn’t her mother’s actions a bit inappropriate?
Before Tang Su could ask, Su Ruoan took the initiative to call Tang Su to the kitchen to help.
Tang Su was all too willing, so she left her father to entertain Lu Han while she followed her mother to the kitchen.
When Su Ruoan got into the kitchen, she asked with dissatisfaction, “Didn’t I tell you not to come back today? What are you doing here?”
“It’s my home, am I not allowed to return?” Tang Su retorted, with her lips pursed.
“You can return, it’s just that you weren’t part of the plan today. Your godmother asked me to arrange a date for Doctor Jiang’s daughter. That girl is even harder to serve than you, with standards sky-high. That’s why I recommended Lu Han to your godmother,” Su Ruoan explained.
“No, Mom, aren’t you pushing Doctor Lu into a pit of fire?” Tang Su, unsatisfied, expressed her concern. She knew the other party was difficult; why would she introduce Lu Han to her?
Maybe her mom’s head was filled with water?
Tang Su always thought her godmother Zhao Xinlan was a carefree woman who believed in remaining single. Yet, surprisingly, she ended up marrying Jiang Tao as a second wife.
How could a young and never-married woman willingly marry such an older man?
Tang Su understood the Jiang Tao was wealthy, had status, and kept himself very well-maintained, he looked much younger than his age would suggest.
However, such a man, who has worn out his own wife with illness until she passed away, never won Tang Su’s favor.
Furthermore, despite his image of being principled, it was because of him her mother only became head of a department at forty and still held that minor position to this day.
Tang Su was young, but not foolish; she was well aware of certain matters, as clear as if they were reflected in a mirror. Her silence was merely to avoid causing her mother any trouble.
She knew her mother had close friendships she cared about.
Her godmother, a woman with no children of her own, had treated them like her own for years, showering them with love. Tang Su wanted her godmother to have a better life in the Jiang Family.
Jiang Tao had a son and a daughter with his former wife, both spoiled rotten. Despite her godmother’s years with them, those two children never bothered to meet her.
And still, her godmother wanted to introduce Lu Han to Jiang Tao’s daughter?
Was she mad?
Su Ruoan was taken aback, “…It’s just a meal together; it’s not certain they’ll like each other, so just this once, and never again.”
Seeing her mother soften, Tang Su wouldn’t persist. Besides, she had never met Jiang Tao’s daughter and was curious to see what she was like, after hearing just how impressive she was over the years.
Isn’t she just a hospital director’s daughter?
What’s there to boast about?
Once Tang Su had been placated, Su Ruoan confidently gave instructions, with Tang Su helping to arrange the dishes.
All the dishes were set, and the dining room was steamy and ready, just waiting for Zhao Xinlan and Jiang Tao to arrive with the director’s daughter.
Five minutes passed, and it was ten minutes past the agreed time when Zhao Xinlan and company had still not arrived. The normally composed Tang Shengyi couldn’t sit still, “Xiao An, shall we make a call to check?”
“Okay, I’ll make the call.” Su Ruoan stood up as her phone was in the living room, not with her.
No sooner had Su Ruoan stepped into the living room than Zhao Xinlan arrived with Jiang Shanshan, just the two of them.
“Why have you only just arrived?” Su Ruoan asked.
“I’m so sorry, An’an, for making you all wait. We were about to leave when Lao Jiang got called away. After picking up Shanshan, we hit traffic. Sorry for the delay.” Zhao Xinlan earnestly apologized.
Of course, the real situation wasn’t as such. Jiang Tao’s daughter refused to come at all costs, so at the last minute, Lao Jiang asked his niece Jiang Shanshan to fill in.
Lao Jiang did this for her, not wanting to leave a bad impression with his good friend. That’s why he called his own niece over.
Hearing Zhao Xinlan’s voice, Tang Su also walked from the dining area to the living room and caught sight of Jiang Shanshan behind Zhao Xinlan. Tang Su was extremely surprised, “Doctor Jiang?”
“Miss Tang!!!” Jiang Shanshan was equally shocked.
She had been reluctant to come, but she owed her uncle Jiang Tao a huge favor. After all, he had secured her job at Huanan Hospital.
So, her uncle was their family’s great benefactor.
When her uncle needed her to support his new wife in social gatherings, she couldn’t refuse and had to accompany Zhao Xinlan on this visit. But she had never expected that it would be to Tang Su’s home.
And if the Zhao Xinlan was right about the blind date’s last name being Lu, could it possibly be Lu Han?
It didn’t take long for Jiang Shanshan to lay eyes on Lu Han. Once her guess was confirmed, all her reluctance vanished.
If it were really Lu Han, she might even ask her uncle for another favor.
If her uncle could also take care of her own significant matters, and she really ended up together with Lu Han, she would make sure to repay her uncle for the rest of her life. Even taking care of him in his old age would be something she’d do willingly.
“You two know each other?” Su Ruoan and Zhao Xinlan asked in unison.
“She’s Doctor Lu’s colleague.” Tang Su followed Jiang Shanshan’s earlier manner and labeled her accordingly.
“…”
