"Su Zhichen?"
It turns out, she wasn't mistaken that day at the hospital...
At this moment, Gu Shiya really wanted to ask: Why didn't you come to find me all these years?
But the surprise and excitement of the reunion brought tears to her eyes and made her body tremble slightly. She couldn't speak for a long time.
"Who are you, comrade?" Su Zhichen frowned.
Upon seeing the woman before him, a strange emotion suddenly welled up in his chest, heavy and suffocating him.
But Su Zhichen was certain that he had never seen the woman in front of him before.
However, her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Wanying's...
Gu Shiya never expected that after waiting for thirty years, she would receive such a statement.
*Smack*
Gu Shiya slapped him across the face.
"Su Zhichen, you bastard!"
She left in anger.
"Dad!" Su Wantang rushed over. "What happened? Do you know Director Gu? Why did she slap you?"
Su Wantang's voice brought Su Zhichen back to his senses from the pain of drowning, and he shook his head.
"Wantang, Dad doesn't know the Director Gu you're talking about."
"Then why did she hit you for no reason?" Su Wantang said angrily. "Dad, come on, I'll take you to the hospital to get justice."
Su Zhichen raised his hand to stop Su Wantang: "It's alright, she probably mistook someone for someone else..."
"Mistaking someone for someone else doesn't give you the right to beat someone up in the street!"
"Wantang, Dad is a grown man. Getting slapped is nothing. Let's just let this matter go."
"Dad!" Su Wantang didn't understand.
Su Zhichen didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer. He said in a deep voice, "Wantang, listen to your father."
"By the way, you came to see Dad this morning, what happened?"
"Dad, you're just too good-tempered," Su Wantang complained, linking arms with Su Zhichen as they entered the pharmacy.
"No rush, let's apply the medicine first."
After the medicine was applied, it was almost lunchtime, so Su Wantang took Su Zhichen to a state-run restaurant.
Luo Xiao is temporarily staying on the second floor of the pharmacy, and it is not convenient to talk inside the pharmacy.
After ordering the food and sitting down to wait, Su Wantang spoke up.
"Dad, tell me about Grandpa. I miss him a little."
A look of nostalgia welled up in Su Zhichen's eyes. He seemed to have many things he wanted to say, but only one sentence came out.
"Wantang, your grandfather is a very skilled doctor."
After he finished speaking, Su Zhichen was stunned for a moment.
Su Wantang gave Su Zhichen a reproachful look: "Dad, of course I know that. That's not what I wanted to ask."
"Grandpa, does he have any brothers or sisters?"
"Brothers and sisters?" Su Zhichen murmured, his mind blank.
"No... I don't think so."
The "ba" was very light, and it just so happened that the waiter carrying the dishes called out: "Gentlemen, your food is ready."
Therefore, Su Wantang did not hear Su Zhichen's slightest hesitation.
No?
Her heart sank.
Who exactly is the person in the shadows, and what is their relationship with the Su family?
Su Wantang didn't want Su Zhichen to worry, so she didn't show anything unusual.
"Dad, I was just asking casually when I was bored. Dinner's here, let's eat."
After finishing his meal, Su Zhichen declined Su Wantang's offer to see him off and walked home alone.
Su Wantang returned to the pharmacy.
Looking around the store, Su Wantang frowned: "Xia Bao, haven't you come to work yet?"
It's been several days now.
"Sister Wantang, he brought his mother here yesterday. You weren't at the pharmacy." Zhou Yu walked over and briefly explained what happened yesterday.
Su Wantang hummed in agreement, thinking that the mother and son might visit again today, so she didn't make a phone call.
Unexpectedly, neither the mother nor the son showed up all afternoon.
She called, but no one answered.
On the way back to the compound, Su Wantang talked about this with Lu Huai'an.
"Something might be up. I'll call you again when I get home," Lu Huai'an said in a deep voice.
Su Wantang thought so too. Those soldiers were all novices. They could learn to use machines quickly by teaching them, but the details required professionals to handle them.
She probably couldn't manage it all by herself, so it just so happens that Xia Bao can also make them.
These next few days, she'll bring these along, and once the soldiers Yue Tao called for arrive, they can start production.
Just as I arrived at the gate of the compound, a sarcastic snort came from beside me.
"A capitalist's daughter, instead of staying at home, she's always showing her face in public and making a fool of herself. And then she's talking nonsense and breaking up other people's families. How can you be so vicious?"
Thinking of the criticisms his neighbors and comrades had given him behind his back these past few days, Lu Yuanzhou felt as if his old face had been pressed to the ground and stomped on again and again, burning with pain. His liver fire, bubbling and smoking, rose up in his throat, and he began to lecture them harshly.
“Uncle, I respect you as my elder, but you have insulted me like this—”
Not wanting to put Lu Huai'an in a difficult position, Su Wantang interrupted him, coldly saying, "Me, vicious? Then according to you, you blind and heartless husband, if your wife did such a heinous thing, wouldn't you have to wrap yourself up like a dumpling before going out?"
"Besides, you're as old and bare as a tree bark, yet you still have the nerve to show your face in public. I'm young and beautiful, far more pleasing to the eye than you. What am I afraid of?"
"You...you..." Lu Yuanzhou pointed at Su Wantang for a long time without saying a word of rebuttal.
It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but he was used to bossing people around behind their backs, and he always cared about his reputation and image. He didn't have the knowledge to back it up, and this time he was just furious.
After saying that, Su Wantang was about to pull Lu Huai'an back to the compound when she saw him step forward and snap off the arm that Lu Yuanzhou was pointing at.
“Uncle, you are an elder in Huai’an, so it’s right for you to scold and reprimand me, but you can’t scold my wife.”
Lu Yuanzhou's eyes bulged out, his face revealing the twisted and ferocious state of his dislocated arm.
"Lu Huai'an! You did a great job!"
Lu Huai'an said calmly, "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle. It's a small matter that a real man would do to protect his wife and children."
"Uncle, you must set a good example for us younger generation."
Lu Yuanzhou rolled his eyes in anger.
"Tangtang, let's go home."
Su Wantang felt a surge of satisfaction upon hearing this. She took Lu Huai'an's arm and praised him, "Huai'an, I didn't realize you had such a sharp tongue."
"Huh?" Lu Huai'an didn't understand why Su Wantang said that. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In his eyes, that's how it should be.
He lowered his voice and said, "Tangtang, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer because of this."
Su Wantang corrected him seriously: "Lu Huai'an! I married you, and my parents treat me very well. We are a family. As for the others, which family doesn't have a few troublesome relatives?"
"You don't need to blame yourself, it's not your fault."
Lu Huai'an smiled and said, "It's me who's less insightful than Tangtang."
"Tangtang, I am the luckiest person in my life to marry you."
When the topic of marriage came up, Lu Huai'an's eyes flickered, and he began to ponder something.
"Good to know." Su Wantang raised her chin proudly.
Upon arriving home and seeing the house full of people, Su Wantang and Lu Huai'an exchanged a glance, both looking surprised.
