Paranoid Doctor Only Loves Me-Chapter 41 - 0 What is she thinking by pushing him onto another

“Oh, come on in,” Su Ruoan invited both of them.

Knowing there had to be something fishy going on, Su Ruoan glanced at Zhao Xinlan, who was so guilty she couldn’t look her in the eye.

With an inward sigh, Su Ruoan thought the play had reached this point, and they had to continue performing.

Otherwise, no one would save face in the end.

During the brief moment Su Ruoan greeted Zhao Xinlan and Jiang Shanshan, Tang Su managed to sort out the relationships between these people.

There were certainly plenty of new things happening that day, in the afternoon she and Sun Qing went to speak to Jiang Qimeng about compensation, and Jiang Qimeng seemed like a quite reasonable boss.

The person who was reasonable outside turned out to be such an unreasonable, willful rich girl at home?

People truly cannot be judged by their appearances.

She hadn’t expected Jiang Qimeng to be the stepdaughter of her godmother?

If she had known earlier, perhaps for the sake of her godmother, she wouldn’t have insisted on going with Sun Qing to negotiate with Jiang Qimeng about the losses.

But had her godmother not seen the video?

She probably hadn’t, otherwise, why wouldn’t her godmother step in and have her smooth things over?

After her godmother married Jiang Tao, she genuinely wanted to stay with the Jiang Family and have a good life; that much she knew.

Soon, the six of them were seated at the Tang Family’s dinner table, where originally Lu Han and Jiang Qimeng were supposed to be the main focus, but now Jiang Qimeng had turned into Jiang Shanshan.

The seat that had been arranged for Jiang Qimeng, Su Ruoan still let Jiang Shanshan take.

Tang Su was dissatisfied, but in front of her mother, the queen, she dared to be angry but didn’t dare to speak.

Moreover, she truly didn’t want to make a big fuss, so she obediently sat between her parents, watching her mother and her godmother complement each other.

Lu Han was a clever man, plus, after the mother and daughter left the table, Tang Shengyi had voluntarily come clean with Lu Han about the purpose of the dinner that night, so Lu Han already knew that the dinner was set up for him to meet other women.

Lu Han wasn’t particularly interested in why Su Ruoan had arranged this scenario.

It was nothing more than Su Ruoan’s enthusiasm as a senior sister, after all, when they were eating at the teacher and his wife’s house, his teacher had asked his senior sisters to put more thought into his personal matters.

What Lu Han cared about was what role Tang Su played in tonight’s drama?

Knowing that her parents were so eager to match him with another woman, what did she think?

She probably was not pleased, right?

Otherwise, she had clearly been arranged by her mother to go on a date with Sun Qing tonight, yet not only did she not go, but she also accompanied him here, right?

Analyzing the situation, Lu Han knew that as long as Tang Su was reluctant about this matter, it was fine.

As for everything else, it was about playing it by ear.

After all, it was just a matter of humoring a few elders and putting on a show together—whether it succeeded or not, he could tell that the elders weren’t that enthusiastic about it either.

The one most keen on this affair was undoubtedly Jiang Shanshan.

However, after Su Ruoan and Zhao Xinlan found out that the two were colleagues, they even canceled the most basic introductions and simply arranged for them to sit together and let them chat on their own.

Some things, everyone was aware of.

Su Ruoan also knew very well that the two must have been colleagues for some time now, and if Lu Han had any romantic interest in Jiang Shanshan, it would have happened long before now, wouldn’t it?

As the hostess, Su Ruoan still maintained control of the overall situation, after all, her daughter was still puffed up with anger because of her arrangements, and she needed to properly appease her.

On the other hand, she felt somewhat guilty towards Lu Han.

The dinner tonight was truly an unrewarding effort; she gave her all, but it was destined to be in vain.

She just hoped that, with her whole family making such sacrifices, Zhao Xinlan would be able to gain some advantage by Jiang Tao’s side.

If she couldn’t gain any, there was nothing she could do. In any case, she had already promised Tang Su in the kitchen just now that this wouldn’t set a precedent.

Lu Han was a man of few words, and Jiang Shanshan didn’t know him well enough. When she initiated topics of conversation, Lu Han would finish in a few sentences, and then there was no follow-up.

Jiang Shanshan also didn’t know how to continue the conversation appropriately.

In front of the man she liked, she always remembered her mother’s teachings: as a girl, she should be reserved and not actively pursue men; that would be undignified.

In the end, Jiang Shanshan steered the conversation towards Tang Su, “Miss Tang, may I call you Tang Su? I just found out that you’re my grandaunt’s goddaughter.”

“We must have quite the destiny, don’t we?”

Jiang Shanshan was actually very dissatisfied with Tang Su today, especially during lunchtime, when they had agreed to eat with Lu Han at Qimeng Restaurant. Yet she managed to coax Lu Han, and the two of them went to eat somewhere else.

This made her lose face in front of her colleagues.

Fortunately, no one asked indiscreetly if Tang Su and Lu Han were just doctor and patient.

Otherwise, she really wouldn’t know what to say in response.

Now, she finally understood why Lu Han was so nice to Tang Su.

It turned out that Tang Su was actually the daughter of Lu Han’s female mentor, which meant that Lu Han was of a higher generation. It would not be out of place for Tang Su to call him “little uncle.”

With such a relationship between them, it wasn’t hard to understand why Lu Han treated Tang Su so specially.

Considering the generational distance, it was unlikely for the two of them to have the kind of relationship she had previously suspected.

If that was the case, then she should be nicer to Tang Su; perhaps this way, she might just win over some of Lu Han’s affection for herself.

“We do have quite the connection, but our values don’t align, and I don’t think we can be friends,” Tang Su directly refused, without a hint of hesitation.

However, Tang Su’s rejection of Jiang Shanshan wasn’t solely because of Lu Han.

It was also for Zhao Xinlan.

Before today, Jiang Shanshan probably hadn’t sincerely called her “grandaunt” to her godmother, had she?

The life that her godmother had led in the Jiang Family over the years was clearly difficult for anyone who wasn’t blind to see.

Jiang Tao’s son and daughter were truly adept at making life miserable, and in the name of family harmony, her godmother wouldn’t be able to have children of her own for her entire life.

That was her godmother’s choice, and it wasn’t Tang Su’s place to comment.

But as Jiang Qimeng’s sister, if Jiang Shanshan had offered even a bit of persuasion, her godmother’s life wouldn’t have been so stifled.
