84: Chapter 84: Encountering Two Idiots 84: Chapter 84: Encountering Two Idiots “You’re talking nonsense!”
“When did I ever say that!”
Chen Cuilan trembled under the man’s dark and chilling gaze.
Frightened by Mr.
Yan’s arrival, she momentarily didn’t notice how Youyou referred to the man.
“You dead girl, stop framing me!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the man’s gaze become even sharper and gloomier.
Youyou pouted, blinking woefully at Mr.
Yan, “Brother, look, she’s scolding me again.”
A layer of frost covered the handsome features of the man, who spoke in a deep voice, “Jiang Feng.”
“If Mrs.
Tang is so eloquent, then find a place where she can talk to her heart’s content.”
“Yes, Master.” Jiang Feng responded.
He motioned to the bodyguards behind him, “Take Mrs.
Tang to the private room.”
Chen Cuilan’s face turned pale, her normally well-maintained complexion collapsed, revealing a look of terror.
No one paid attention to her screams.
“Bang!”
The door closed, shutting out her tumultuous and shrill voice.
Tang Sirou’s face, delicately made up, turned ashen, her expression complicated and solemn, “Mr.
Yan, my aunt truly made a mistake, she was just impulsively reacting to the situation with my cousin and unintentionally confronted Dr.
Su and Youyou.
Could you, out of consideration for me, forgive my aunt just this once?”
Faced with Tang Sirou’s plea, everyone exchanged looks.
At that moment, many recognized Tang Sirou’s identity.
They’d been too caught up in the spectacle earlier to notice her presence.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t popular, but watching dramas unfold is a deep-rooted habit; it doesn’t matter who it is, people love watching.
It’s normal she was momentarily forgotten!
Youyou, seeing Tang Sirou’s feigned gentleness, felt disgusted, “You think your face is lined with gold?
Always asking people to give you face, have you looked in the mirror?”
Tang Sirou’s expression faltered, becoming even more pitiful.
The next remark from Mr.
Yan made her complexion worsen.
“The person you should be pleading with is not me,” the man said coolly.
Plainly said, if you want to ask for a favor, go to the person involved.
Tang Sirou bit her back teeth in frustration, unable to believe he was directing her to plead with Su He.
“No need to plead.” Su He glanced at her, her voice cold: “Because she doesn’t deserve my forgiveness!”
Having said that, she turned and left.
Seeing her leave, Youyou quickly followed.
“Hold back your brother; I need to take Xixi to the hospital,” Su He whispered.
“Oh, okay.”
Mr.
Yan was about to follow when Youyou grabbed his arm, “Brother, wait, I have something to tell you.”
The man’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, “Let go, we can talk at home!”
Youyou stubbornly didn’t let go, “No, I want to talk now.”
“I’ve fallen for a boy, can you help me check him out when you’re free?”
“Not free, let go!”
“I won’t…”
At this time, Su He had already vanished from their sight.
City First Hospital.
Su He took Su Yimo to the Pediatrics, and shortly after they arrived, Jing Xuan rushed over.
“What happened to Xixi?” Su He had said nothing over the phone, only asking her to hurry to the City First Hospital.
Su He briefly explained.
“…”
After hearing it, Jing Xuan furrowed her eyebrows, “Damn!
None of the Tang family is normal!”
The two conducted several examinations for Su Yimo, picked up some medicine, and then headed back to Pear Garden Pavilion.
On the sofa.
“Mummy~” Su Baobao hugged Su He’s neck, resting on her shoulder, his mood somewhat down.
Su He gently stroked his back, “Hmm, Mummy’s here, does it still hurt?”
The round little head shook, his voice milky, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Since entering the door, he had been clinging to Su He, unwilling to move.
Su He vaguely guessed why his mood was off.
“Good, you’ll always be Mummy’s baby.”
“Not everything everyone says is trustworthy, so don’t believe them, baby, just believe in Mummy.”
She rubbed his small head, whispering softly.
After a long while, the little one looked up, his big round eyes pitifully gazing at her.
“Mummy, am I really not a bastard?”
Su He’s heart trembled slightly.
“Of course not, you were born legally by mummy.”
“Then why does Old Antique dad not want me?
Did baby do something wrong?”
Su He raised her hand to straighten his fringe, “How could that be, our baby is so smart and cute, a baby loved by everyone, anyway, Mummy will never stop wanting you.”
“Hmm, as to why he made that choice back then, Mummy is still trying to figure that out.
Once I have the answer, I’ll tell you, okay?”
Although the little guy was currently melancholic, his mind was still sharp.
“Mummy, are you saying that Old Antique dad not wanting baby back then had other difficulties?”
Su He didn’t hide it from him, he was smart enough to understand, “That’s just Mummy’s recent guess, it hasn’t been confirmed yet, so I can’t answer you for sure.”
After recent interactions with Mr.
Yan, she slightly understood him more.
If he truly had always loved her, then four years ago, he wouldn’t have coldly asked her to abort the child, and until now, he hadn’t mentioned the pregnancy, asking her if she liked kids as if he never knew about it four years ago.
So, she became suspicious.
“Alright, tonight Mummy will sleep with you, okay?”
The little guy’s mood recovered quickly, revitalized by Su He’s words.
After bathing the little one and putting him to sleep, it was already past midnight.
In the living room, Jing Xuan was still there, “Xixi asleep?”
Su He hummed in response.
Lan Yan spoke from the side, “Boss, Bai Yang sent over the documents you requested.”
Lan Yan handed over a small notebook to her.
Su He took it, flipping through the data, Jing Xuan also leaned over to look.
She looked up at Su He, “Baobao, are you planning to sabotage the Tang family’s business?”
This document contained all the companies cooperating with the Tang family, as well as the complete source of funds for Tang Group.
Su He’s expression darkened, she was always someone who wouldn’t offend unless offended.
If provoked, she would retaliate without fail or negotiation!
–
The next day.
At the medical summit.
Su He arrived at the venue fifteen minutes before the start.
She had just walked into the waiting hall, waiting for her escort.
At that moment, a soft feminine voice rang out: “Dr.
Su, it seems we are quite fated.”
Su He followed the voice and saw Tang Sirou walking arm in arm with Lou Ruozhi.
She was slightly startled, then indifferently shifted her gaze away.
In Lou Ruozhi’s eyes, Su He’s disregard was seen as lack of manners.
“Sirou, why bother greeting someone so uncultured?
Your manners should be reserved for those on your level, not wasted on some uneducated country bumpkin!”
Lou Ruozhi was wearing a green dress and emerald jewelry today, exuding a noble and elegant aura that made her look even more impeccable.
However, the tone of her speech was really off-putting.
Su He didn’t like it, but she said nothing.
Just treated it like encountering two rabid dogs.
Lou Ruozhi saw that after she finished speaking, Su He still stood there calmly, completely ignoring them.
Inexplicably, a fire burned in her heart.
No matter what, she was growing more and more annoyed with this woman, Su He.
“Such a small-time doctor dares to come to such a place?
Aren’t you embarrassed?”
Lou Ruozhi, with the most elegant demeanor and gentlest voice, spoke the sharpest words.
Su He glanced at her lazily, a faint smile on her lips, “Mrs.
Lou, it seems your home is indeed unquestionably by the sea.”
“And you also kind of look like you were raised in seawater, which is nice, living off the sea.”
Su He raised her beautiful eyebrows at her, “But, Mrs.
Lou, your sea-reliant hands and mouth, they stretch quite long, reaching out even to us poor country folk; aren’t you afraid of choking?
Be careful, you might drown as soon as you land ashore, and no one would even come to collect your body.”
Who would have thought Su He, with such a pretty face, could speak so sharply.
“You…” Lou Ruozhi did not expect her to so blatantly accuse her of meddling.
“Dr.
Su, how can you talk like this to your mother-in-law, your elder?” Tang Sirou maintained a weak and docile demeanor, trying hard to defend Lou Ruozhi’s dignity.
Su He couldn’t be bothered to glance at her, and coldly said, “I’m sorry, but on my wedding with Jiang Yan, I didn’t see Mrs.
Lou, nor did I serve her tea.
Suddenly, you assign me this role, that’s out of line.
I am not blessed enough to enjoy it.
Moreover, my husband’s surname is Jiang, not Lou, and also, I’ve never heard him mention he has a mother.”
“If Miss Tang bears the fortune to enjoy it, then I do have a nice suggestion—”
Her red lips curved into a mocking smile and she swiftly changed her tone: “You might as well accept her as your mother-in-law since Young Master Lou is quite a catch, handsome and talented, quite a good match for Miss Tang.”
“If the two of you might possibly unite in marriage, no need to thank me or send me an invitation, after all, a mere country bumpkin like me doesn’t deserve to attend such noble gatherings.”
Su He’s words left the two speechless.
Despite her beautiful and delicate face, her mouth never let others off easily, striking with witty remarks, leaving her opponents speechless.
Tang Sirou bit her red lips, appearing pitifully delicate and frail.
Lou Ruozhi clenched her teeth secretly, she always maintained a dignified and elegant demeanor in various settings, and never had anyone dared to contradict her like this.
But Su He repeatedly antagonized her.
It was as if she was born to be her nemesis.
Every encounter with her dampened her mood.
She struggled inwardly for a moment, calmed her emotions, “It seems Ah Yan has married a wife with a brilliant tongue, which is wonderful!”
It seemed like a compliment on her eloquence, but it was actually just sarcasm.
But Su He didn’t care about these.
She lifted a smile, casually replying: “Thanks for the compliment.”
The two of them listened to her shameless reply, steaming with rage from head to toe.
Lou Ruozhi and Tang Sirou were both dressed to the nines, while Su He was dressed much more simply.
A tight white T-shirt, black straight-leg pants paired with a pair of white sneakers, her long hair casually tied back, the epitome of casual wear.
Yet there was an indescribable cool elegance about her.
With good looks and figure, even wearing a rag would seem beautiful.
Lou Ruozhi scrutinized her attire and sneered, “Don’t you know where you are?
Dressed so inappropriately, as Mr.
Yan’s wife and wearing such low street vendor product, really shaming the Jiang Family, I wonder how the Old Madam even took a liking to you!”
Hearing this, Su He looked down at her clothes; these were cheap products?
She thought about it; many of her clothes were her own designs, not sold anywhere else, globally unique.
Although Jiang Yan also prepared many clothes for her, she rarely wore them.
However, saying they were no-brand items was not unreasonable, as she didn’t label them with any logos.
She didn’t care and responded with a forced smile: “Forget it, people at your level wouldn’t understand my level.
It’s a waste of breath.”
But this statement meant something else entirely in the ears of Lou Ruozhi and Tang Sirou.
Both thought that Su He didn’t dare to argue back, afraid of losing face.
Lou Ruozhi’s mood somewhat improved.
She turned to Tang Sirou, speaking gently and kindly, “Sirou, let’s go.
Auntie will take you into the opening ceremony of this medical summit.
Everyone here is a master in the medical field, it’ll be good exposure for you to interact more with these people and understand their lives, it will also help with the roles you aspire to play.”
Tang Sirou’s delicate face also showed a radiant smile, “Thank you, Auntie.
I’ll cherish this opportunity.”
“Yes, Auntie believes in you.
Not just anyone gets this chance; only those who contribute to society are invited.
Having money doesn’t guarantee entry, not to mention those without money or capability.”
Lou Ruozhi’s sarcastic tone went in one ear and out the other for Su He.
She naturally knew that this sarcastic remark was intended for her.
The two no longer lingered and walked past Su He, heading inside.
Lou Ruozhi took out two glittering invitations and handed them to the security at the entrance.
After verifying them, security let them in.
Tang Sirou looked back with a provocative and triumphant gaze.
Su He internally rolled her eyes.
Is she sick?
She definitely didn’t check the calendar before leaving the house today and ended up encountering two idiots!
The two walked in, and just then, a woman hurriedly came running out and bumped into Tang Sirou.
The woman glanced at her and quickly said, “Sorry about that.”
Then she hurried off.
Tang Sirou, with sharp eyes, noticed her badge which read: Tan Xiaoyan.
Since Lou Ruozhi mentioned taking her to the opening ceremony of this medical summit, she had quietly done some research.
Those attending the summit were renowned experts in the medical field; outsiders like them were generally not allowed to participate.
There were exceptions, however, like being specially invited by the committee to the opening ceremony, but that’s all, and further seminars were off-limits.
But this did not affect her purpose of being here; just attending an opening ceremony was satisfying enough.
The woman who had just run past was one of the event organizers.
“Oh, my Professor Su, so sorry for being late, there was a small issue at the venue that I had to take care of,” Tan Xiaoyan said, slightly panting from running.
Su He looked at her, “Ms.
Yan, I’ve changed my mind.”
“What?” Tan Xiaoyan stared at her, puzzled, “You changed your mind about what?”
Su He smiled, “I agreed to appear on camera.”
