In the hospital ward.
Su Ruoan was actually very tired, but she endured the exhaustion and let Su Wanyi rest first, taking the watch for the first half of the night.
The doctor had said that the old lady was out of danger, but Su Ruoan was still not at ease. After all, if a heart attack really did occur and no one discovered it in time to call the doctor immediately, it could be fatal.
Moreover, Su Wanyi had said that it was because of their family that the old lady fell ill.
Today was supposed to be a very happy day, and Su Ruoan did not understand why in the end, it was their own Su Family that had encountered problems.
"Mom, you should rest, too. Don’t think about anything," Su Ruoan said, leaning over to persuade the old lady as she was reluctant to close her eyes.
The elderly Madam Su reached out tremblingly, "My third child, promise me, don’t let Tang Su be with Lu Han."
"Mom, the grievances of the older generation have nothing to do with Lu Han, and Tang Su is even more innocent."
"My third child, your mother is in this state, and you still refuse to follow her wishes?" Seeing the old lady’s eyes roll up as if she was about to pass out again, Su Wanyi could not bear Su Ruoan’s calmness.
In the past, when her mother didn’t want her to go into medicine or marry Tang Shengyi, she wouldn’t listen to advice, and now that stubbornness was rearing its head again, wasn’t it?
It didn’t matter that her mother was young and healthy then, let her be stubborn if she wanted to. But now her mother was sick and in the hospital; her stubbornness was inappropriate, wasn’t it?
Was she trying to anger their mother to death?
"Mom, how about this, we both step back a bit. If everything you’ve said is true, then I promise you, I will persuade Tang Su to break up with Lu Han. If Tang Su insists on being with Lu Han, I can break off the mother-daughter relationship with her, okay?"
"If you’re satisfied, then rest. The doctor said you need plenty of rest."
Finally, Su Ruoan relented.
The elderly Madam Su finally closed her eyes in satisfaction, and the corners of Su Wanyi’s mouth lifted slightly.
Lu Han’s family background was indeed very good, but so what, there was still that indelible stain.
Since her own Shen Yi was destined not to be with Lu Han, and now even fate was not on Su Ruoan’s side, it was fortunate that their mother knew Lu Maoyan’s former wife. Otherwise, she would really be at a loss for how to break up Lu Han and Tang Su.
It seemed that fate did have eyes; Tang Su and Lu Han simply weren’t meant for each other.
Now, their mother felt it was Lu Han who was not worthy of their family.
After all, it didn’t matter who was unworthy of whom; as long as Tang Su broke up with Lu Han, mother and daughter wouldn’t be disappointed.
That was quite good.
As for the rest, she had also heard about the scandal of the Lu Family but never heard the details from her mother.
If Tang Su hadn’t brought Lu Han to the Su Family home this time, perhaps her mother would have even forgotten about it.
Thinking of how Su Ruoan would force Tang Su to break up with Lu Han, Su Wanyi closed her eyes in satisfaction and fell asleep.
Su Ruoan sat by the bed, squinting for a short while. Whenever the old lady turned over or made a sound, Su Ruoan would immediately wake up to check on her.
After getting through the night, Su Ruoan had dark circles under her eyes.
**
Early the next morning, at the Bai Family villa.
Lu Han opened his eyes to see a WeChat message from Tang Su sent in the middle of the night. It said her grandmother had suddenly fallen ill and was taken to the hospital, and she couldn’t accompany him to his grandfather’s house today.
Facing sudden and urgent circumstances, Lu Han could only let it be.
He had intended to make a phone call, but when he saw the time Tang Su had sent the message, it was past two in the morning. He had already been deep asleep at that time; a message came in, and he hadn’t even heard the ringtone.
Tang Su had only sent one.
Thinking of how late Tang Su had gone to bed last night, and not wanting to disturb her rest, Lu Han also replied with a message, "Okay, I got it. Call me when you wake up."
As Lu Han was going downstairs, Bai Wei was also up, and mother and son met in the hallway.
"What time will you pick up Tang Su? I think you should skip breakfast. After picking her up, take her out for breakfast, and then you can come back together."
"She can’t come today; her grandma was hospitalized last night." Lu Han’s emotions were somewhat low.
Lu Han was not stupid, he could feel that Su Ruoan’s grandmother did not like him, and she seemed not to be very fond of his parents either.
During lunch yesterday, when he had taken the initiative to greet her, she had been indifferent and aloof.
Very cold.
"The old lady was hospitalized?" Bai Wei furrowed her brows slightly, "The old lady seems not very fond of us, but regardless, we really should go visit."
"..."
Lu Han turned his head and looked at his mother. So, it wasn’t just him who felt this way.
"Did Dad notice it too?" Lu Han suddenly became curious about his old man. Hadn’t he said that he wasn’t the kind of person who was disliked by others?
"Your dad isn’t a fool, he’s sharper than both of us put together, of course, he noticed. It was okay that the old lady didn’t eat much yesterday, but she didn’t utter a word to us from beginning to end. With such obvious disdain, how could it go unnoticed?"
"But, you’re marrying Tang Su, and whether Tang Su wants to marry you or can marry you is for her and her parents to decide. It doesn’t matter so much that the old lady doesn’t like us."
"However, at this time, since the old lady doesn’t like us and she’s in the hospital, by social etiquette we should visit. I’m just afraid that our presence might worsen her condition."
"For the rest of the day, Tang Su, I assume, will probably be too busy to go out with you. So, let’s not visit; it’s fine. I’ll contact Tang Su’s mom right away to ask which hospital they’re in, and we’ll send a good doctor over."
"Mhm, thanks, Mom, you always think things through." Lu Han’s brow smoothed, his mood suddenly brightened.
"What’s there to thank me for? You’re my son, Tang Su is my daughter-in-law, and if Tang Su’s grandma is in the hospital, how can we stay indifferent? Right?"
"Right."
"Alright, go have breakfast. I’ll talk to your grandfather about it." Bai Wei took the responsibility onto herself again.
"Mhm."
Bai Wei then made a phone call to Su Ruoan, promptly expressing her sympathy and asking which hospital the grandmother was in. She also candidly said, "I’m sorry, but we have something going on today and might not be able to make it there. Tang Su just sent Lu Han a message saying she won’t be coming either, so it’s okay; we can catch up some other time."
"All right." With the pressure of a face-to-face meeting off, and knowing they had other things and couldn’t visit the hospital, Su Ruoan shared the name of the hospital.
"Okay, I got it. If you need, Lu Han knows some doctors; I can get one to come check on the old lady."
"No need, thank you, Lu Han’s mom. The old lady is actually not in serious condition now. She’s under observation today and will probably be discharged tomorrow."
"That’s good, then. Have the old lady rest well."
"All right, thank you."
"You’re welcome, I didn’t really help with anything."
Then, Bai Wei made another call to a certain doctor, instructing him to check on an elderly lady who was admitted to the emergency room last night if he had time. The patients were an old lady with children surnamed Su.
After finishing the call, the two went downstairs. Patriarch Bai was dressed in a brand-new outfit, holding a dragon-headed cane in one hand and sitting on the sofa in the living room. In his other hand, he was holding a mirror, practicing his smile in the reflection.
