"Do you want to gossip about the specific details of what went on here?" Lu Han could tell, the curiosity of the little girl toward gossip was clear.
To him, whether Jiang Shanshan was the mastermind or genuinely a victim, the outcome for her was irrelevant.
He didn’t pay attention to the process, nor would he pay attention to the outcome.
He only knew that the reason the Jiang Family were so arrogant was simply because Jiang Tao was the dean of Hua City Central Hospital.
The art of war says, to catch the bandits, first catch the king.
He just needed to unite with others to deal with Jiang Tao alone, the rest of the Jiang family were nothing but monkeys.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
Once Jiang Tao fell, those people wouldn’t be able to be arrogant for long.
Lu Han planned to leave the rest to time.
It was essential that Zhao Xinlan divorce Jiang Tao as soon as possible, and when it came to dealing with this matter, his only consideration was Tang Su’s godmother, Zhao Xinlan.
"Not really," Tang Su denied, she was quite curious, but saying so would make her feel like a person lacking compassion, somewhat wicked.
After all, she didn’t know what Shanshan had masterminded, but those devils had indeed stretched their evil claws towards her.
Tang Su dared not even think about how Shanshan got through the time when those devils bullied her.
It must have felt like an eternity every second.
Tang Su always believed that no matter what kind of girl it was, in such matters, if the girl was unwilling, no one should ever force her.
Even if it was the detestable Jiang Shanshan, she would not wish such a tragic event upon her.
"Tang Su, let’s not get involved in this matter. Jiang Shanshan isn’t someone important. As for what happens to her, whether it’s her own doing or fate’s cruelty, as long as we are clear in conscience, that’s what matters."
"Mhm."
"So where shall we have dinner tonight?" Lu Han abruptly changed the subject.
"Mhm, my place? Should I come pick you up after work?" Tang Su raised an eyebrow.
Without waiting for Lu Han’s response, Tang Su remembered something and quickly changed her mind, "Or rather, maybe you should just cycle or take a taxi after work, Doctor Lu. The hospital is abuzz with the rumors about you and Jiang Shanshan, claiming I’m your sister."
"Hmm? Aren’t you planning on officially declaring your sovereignty at our hospital?" Lu Han raised an eyebrow, feeling wronged.
"No, there’s no need for a formal declaration, right?" Tang Su felt that it was best to let things take their natural course. Going there specifically to declare one’s territory seemed really strange, didn’t it?
She didn’t want to do something that awkward.
"Doctor Lu, the patient is urging you," a nurse came over at that moment, interrupting what Lu Han was about to say.
"Off you go to work, work well, Doctor Lu."
"Alright, little sister."
Tang Su: "..."
**
Five o’clock, and Lu Han got off work.
Bai Dingxian was also able to leave work on time today, a rarity that matched Lu Han’s schedule.
As Lu Han went to the parking lot to get his bike and just put on his helmet, Bai Dingxian came over whistling, "Lu Han, you didn’t drive today huh?"
"No, are you blind?" Lu Han said flatly.
Bai Dingxian frowned, "Not in a good mood? Let me tell you some good news, Jiang Shanshan probably won’t be able to come back and bother you anymore."
"And that’s good news?" Lu Han asked with a raised eyebrow. Has Shanshan’s bothering him ever been successful?
Did he ever care?
Anyone else might not know, but could Bai Dingxian really be unaware?
Oh, so he should just fall into Shanshan’s trap? If someone misunderstands, he should clarify once, and then, when they come back at him with "the thief protests too much," what is he supposed to explain then?
As for those who are irrelevant, let them gossip if they love to.
"What? You still expect that peacock to continue pestering you?" Bai Dingxian understood, but he just wanted to say it that way deliberately.
"I’m going to the Tang Family for dinner, don’t feel like dealing with you, I’m off." Lu Han got on his motorcycle, ready to start it. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ
"Pfft, showing off."
Bai Dingxian, with his proud and aloof neck raised, also walked towards his motorcycle.
Once Bai Dingxian left, another time-waster came along.
This person was none other than Feng Zheng.
Feng Zheng came to apologize to Lu Han.
"Doctor Lu, could you spare me five minutes?" At this moment, Feng Zheng no longer had his former arrogant and despotic attitude when in front of Lu Han, looking down on people.
"One minute," Lu Han said coldly.
"Huh?" Feng Zheng was slightly stunned.
"Fifty-nine, fifty-eight, ...," Lu Han saw him zoning out and was even more speechless.
"Doctor Lu, I was wrong in the past, and I want to apologize to you. I’ve reserved a spot at Juxian Restaurant; could I have the honor of your company once?" Feng Zheng smiled, trying to ingratiate himself with Lu Han.
"No, and as for the apology, there is no need. Feng Zheng, let me give you a piece of advice, ’A straight man does not fear a crooked shadow.’ If you behave yourself, whatever happened in the past doesn’t matter; if your actions are not upright, even if you lick my boots now, it’s useless."
"Not only with me, trying to please anyone else is useless; the only one who can help you is yourself."
"I have other things to deal with, so please move away."
Feng Zheng: "..."
It took a while for Feng Zheng to recover. The things he had brought to give away remained undelivered. He wanted to invite someone to dinner, to sincerely apologize to Lu Han, but he was rejected.
However, the words of Lu Han indeed shook him profoundly.
Just out of college, who isn’t like a lotus unstained by mud?
He hasn’t forgotten the oath he took when he entered medical university to this day.
But what’s the use of those oaths?
In life, you need money everywhere, and everyone talks to you about money. If you don’t have it, no one will respect you, including your own family.
If you bring money home, your family welcomes you with smiles. But what if you don’t have money?
Well, then you’re just wasting food by coming back.
He, too, would like to live as nobly and upright as Lu Han, but he is just an ordinary person. No, he climbed up from the very bottom of society to this position as an average person.
And even being an average person isn’t that easy.
Lu Han simply doesn’t understand.
When Lu Han arrived at the Tang Family’s home, Tang Feng and Tang Su had already prepared dinner, and Tang Shengyi and Su Ruoan had just set the table.
Tang Feng went to the door upon hearing Lu Han’s knock, and seeing Lu Han, said, "Oh, Doctor Lu, have you installed a monitor in our home? The food’s ready, the table’s set, and here you are. Even a second earlier or later would be superfluous."
"Big brother, I’m really sorry. When I got off work on time, two annoying people held me up in the parking lot. It won’t happen again," Lu Han said.
"As a doctor, there’s no specific off-duty time anyway. Lu Han, don’t mind him, come on in, wash your hands and let’s eat," Su Ruoan said, pushing Tang Feng aside at the door, letting Lu Han in.
The whole family was there, including Zhao Xinlan.
Tonight’s dinner also featured Zhao Xinlan’s culinary contribution—lemon chicken feet.
"Lu Han, you better appreciate your godmother’s lemon chicken feet later."
"Of course, godmother," Lu Han replied, his gaze fixed on Tang Su, who had been silent ever since he entered.
