Chapter 170: 139 Lu Han’s Cat, Brought Back by You Again (1 Update)_1 Chapter 170: 139 Lu Han’s Cat, Brought Back by You Again (1 Update)_1 After entering the house, Tang Su didn’t even offer Jiang Tao a glass of water. Wearing shoe covers, Jiang Tao stood in the center of the living room, and Tang Su didn’t invite him to sit either.

Jiang Tao waited for a while, and seeing that Tang Su truly didn’t intend to entertain him, he sat down himself.

It was no wonder Tang Su treated him this way, as he, as a person, was extremely dishonorable in both character and conduct.

That year, when Jiang Tao moved to the villa, he didn’t take them seriously at all, even though they were honored guests as godparents; his disregard and neglect were outrageous.

Out of respect for his godmother, they could overlook it.

Since his marriage to her godmother, more than ten years had passed, and Jiang Tao had never once stepped into their home. In Tang Su’s memory, today marked Jiang Tao’s first visit.

Giving their family’s relations, it shouldn’t have come to this.

Tang Su was no saint; she too had human flaws, such as holding grudges.

Seeing Jiang Tao seat himself, Tang Su slightly curled her lips. He really had been a leader for too long, his thick skin was incomparable to ordinary people.

Zhao Xinlan finished her breakfast, and to give the two some privacy to talk, Tang Su took the initiative to help her godmother wash the dishes.

Zhao Xinlan bent down to pick up Little Douding and walked to the living room, sitting on a single sofa.

Jiang Tao didn’t like these furry animals, especially cats and dogs.

Previously, after his parents passed away, he had to fend for himself and his siblings in the village where nearly every household had dogs for guarding and cats for catching mice. Throughout his childhood, he was fed up with the incessant barking and meowing.

“I thought we made ourselves clear yesterday. Have you come today with the divorce agreement ready to sign?” Zhao Xinlan’s beautiful eyes looked at Jiang Tao, neither tender nor warm.

Jiang Tao felt his heart turn cold. In the past during arguments, his Lanlan would come running to his car horn, dragging her suitcase to him and rushing into his embrace.

But today, there was nothing, and moreover, she was so cold.

“Lanlan, I won’t divorce,” said Jiang Tao, glancing towards the kitchen and noticing Tang Su wasn’t eavesdropping, and stated resolutely.

“Not divorcing? Fine, then I’ll file for divorce,” Zhao Xinlan scoffed coldly.

Jiang Tao: “…”

Zhao Xinlan’s determination caught Jiang Tao completely off guard.

But now, he really couldn’t divorce. He aspired to work at the Health Bureau, and the connections were already established, only a matter of time.

If all went well, it would certainly be possible by the end of this year.

Therefore, at this juncture, if he were involved in a scandal due to marital issues, it would be greatly detrimental to him.

Zhao Xinlan was aware of this, and since she loved him so much, she surely wouldn’t make things difficult for him.

“Lanlan, give me one more chance, the last chance. I’ll change, is that okay? I won’t let Mengmeng treat you that way anymore, and about my brother and sister, I’ve already scolded them harshly after you left yesterday,” he pleaded.

“Please, Lanlan, don’t divorce. As long as we don’t divorce, everything can be negotiated, okay?”

Jiang Tao was truly sincere today.

Through the kitchen’s glass door, although Tang Su wasn’t eavesdropping, she observed her godmother’s reactions the entire time.

After so many years of marriage, Jiang Tao certainly knew her godmother’s weaknesses, and Tang Su also knew her godmother was quite decisive in other aspects.

It was just in emotional matters that she tended to be indecisive.

When she met Jiang Tao, all her peers were already married, and her close friends not only enjoyed happy marriages but also had the blessings of children. Zhao Xinlan must have been very envious.

However, she was somewhat selective.

At that time, Jiang Tao appeared. He not only fulfilled all of Zhao Xinlan’s fantasies about a man, but when he pursued her, he actually put in some thoughtful effort.

This person had been involved in the world of fame and profit for many years and had developed some ability to discern people’s hearts; his techniques and methods for pursuing women were also numerous.

Her godmother, being a woman of simple thoughts and pure emotions, meeting Jiang Tao, in the words of her mother, was definitely a death sentence.

If Jiang Tao was always good to her godmother, good for a lifetime, then her godmother’s life would definitely be blessed and complete.

But for a man to be good to a woman for a lifetime, that is something easier said than done.

Not all men can achieve this, and love is not everything to a man—it’s an innate trait of men, while many women with a romantic bias believe that love is greater than everything else.

As it happened, her godmother was a bit romantically inclined, especially fond of reading novels.

Even now, she would share stories with her whenever possible; Tang Su would read some novels, but her mother wouldn’t touch them at all.

Thus, her godmother liked her, loved her so much, and doted on her as her own daughter—it wasn’t without reason.

Worried that her godmother couldn’t resist Jiang Tao’s sugar-coated bullets, Tang Su, as a junior, it was indeed inappropriate to meddle directly in the elders’ affairs, so she had no choice but to call for reinforcements.

She sought help from her mother.

Soon, Su Ruoan took the opportunity of going to the bathroom to make a trip back home.

She entered the house, travel-worn, and feigned ignorance of Jiang Tao’s presence. As she changed her shoes at the entrance, she saw Jiang Tao and put on a very surprised expression, “Yo, Director Jiang, what a rare guest! I just came back to see if Lanlan had woken up.”

Jiang Tao awkwardly pressed his lips together, forcing a far-fetched smile.

“Whose little cat is that?” Su Ruoan asked, noticing the cat in Zhao Xinlan’s hands.

“Meow—” Little Douding called out to Su Ruoan.

They had just shared a barbecue together that evening, but aunty, you’re pretending not to recognize me quite convincingly.

“Tang Bao brought it back,” said Zhao Xinlan, then voluntarily explained, “I’ve had my breakfast, and my dear goddaughter is helping me wash the dishes.”

“How come she’s back? This girl is rather filial to you,” Su Ruoan pretended to be jealous, “I’ve never seen her wash dishes that I’ve used more than a few times.”

Zhao Xinlan: “…”

This mother and daughter really knew how to put on an act.

One called for reinforcements while the other, upon being brought back, continued to play dumb.

This mother and daughter should perform a skit or crosstalk at the Spring Festival Gala for the whole nation; they might even become an instant hit.

“Give my respects to Mother,” Tang Su jumped in, greeting Su Ruoan with a playful laugh.

“Hmm, Lu Han’s cat, you’ve brought it back again?”

“Yeah, we’re raising it together. It’s inconvenient for Lu Han to take care of it while working, so naturally, I bring it.”

In fact, it was also sleeping at her place at night.

Speaking of which, her relationship with Lu Han had progressed quite rapidly; ever since Lu Han had taken this little fellow out of the clinic, it had been living at her place the whole time, never once going back to Lu Han’s.

“Pfft—” Zhao Xinlan was amused.

Tang Su’s way of putting it—it’s just a little cat, but she talked about it as if it were a child she and Lu Han had together.

If daddy has time, daddy will take care of it; if mommy has time, then mommy will.

And Little Douding behaved well in Zhao Xinlan’s arms, even when meowing, it kept the volume down, which Zhao Xinlan loved immensely.

She had just been seriously considering, when her carefree days began, that she might also buy a cat to keep as a pet.

Or, perhaps, she could take in a stray cat.
