Chapter 177: 146 Bai Dingxian seems to really dislike her (2nd update)_1 Chapter 177: 146 Bai Dingxian seems to really dislike her (2nd update)_1 Coming out of the elevator, Sun Qing sprinted as if there were monsters chasing her.

Only after she made it out of the hospital’s back door did she dare to look back and realized that there was no Bai Dingxian following her, and there wasn’t a soul behind her except for the security booth personnel.

Sun Qing lightly patted her chest, thinking she might be caught by Bai Dingxian for deceiving their hospital’s nurse and questioned thoroughly.

For some reason, Sun Qing felt a tightness in her chest.

After getting into the car, Sun Qing carefully thought about her recent encounters with Bai Dingxian and realized that he seemed to really dislike her.

Isn’t that odd, she, the universally-adored, flower-blooming, tire-bursting beautiful girl of the planet, had she offended him?

Or was everything about her outside of his aesthetic preferences?

Even if she wasn’t the number one beauty, she considered her looks to be decent, definitely presentable without makeup.

So, what exactly was the issue?

Before long, the company’s visiting representatives came out, and as soon as everyone was present and the driver was about to start the car, there was a loud bang—

Great, it actually had a flat tire.

Sun Qing covered her face with her hand.

How could she be so unlucky?

It really did have a flat tire.

Afterward, everyone took a photo and uploaded it to the company group chat, and just like that, got a half-day off. They spontaneously decided to hold a small team-building event.

Since Sun Qing had nowhere else to go, she agreed.

While waiting for the car, Sun Qing told Tang Su at length about how she had borrowed the identity of Doctor Lu’s cousin to coax the nurse, only to be caught on the spot by Bai Dingxian, who exposed her lie.

After reading the lengthy explanation, Tang Su didn’t address the issue but instead expressed concern, “Qingqing, aren’t your hands tired?”

Sun Qing: “…”

What does this have to do with my hands being tired?

A second later, Sun Qing understood why Tang Su would ask that.

The two of them had a stronger-than-gold friendship, very tight, and yet could it not escape the fate of a plastic flower relationship?

Was she implying that Sun Qing was being long-winded?

Straight after, Tang Su sent her several more messages:

“Do you have trouble doing voice messages?”

“Oh, there’s something else I’ve been meaning to tell you, Bai Dingxian is Doctor Lu’s cousin, and also, Doctor Lu’s cousin brother came too, his name is Bai Dingkai, and ‘First Love’ is his production.”

Tang Su had no idea that her confession would exhilarate Sun Qing.

She was still editing her text, preparing to tell Sun Qing that the leading lady of Shen Tian’s show was changed by her family’s Doctor Lu.

But Sun Qing was already excited.

“Ah ah ah ah, really? Doctor Lu’s cousin brother is so amazing? I heard that the male lead for ‘First Love’ this time is Qi Jiu, who won three best actor awards. I want his autograph and a photo together, could you ask Doctor Lu for me?”

“Pretty please, dear Tangtang, dear Tang Bao, Su Su, baby, cutie, sweetheart, love you…”

What followed was a slew of nicknames and kisses, hearts, and whatnot.

Tang Su was really done with her.

Before making such a request, why couldn’t she ask if it was convenient for her?

Her relationship with Bai Dingkai didn’t start through Doctor Lu, and before that, they had an awkward situation.

So, how could she have the nerve to ask Bai Dingkai for such a favor?

But then again, Tang Su found it hard to refuse her sweet-talking best friend.

“Okay, I’ll try, but I can’t guarantee that he will agree.”

“You’re virtually his sister-in-law, right? He ought to do you this favor, shouldn’t he?” Sun Qing was extremely confident in Tang Su.

Tang Su: “!!! He’s the cousin brother, Doctor Lu is the cousin.”

“Oh, then you’re basically his prospective cousin sister-in-law. Anyway, he’s bound to help you out if he knows what’s good for him; if all else fails, maybe your family’s Doctor Lu can arrange a dinner and I’ll ask him then.”

“How about this evening you come over, he’s moved to Doctor Lu’s house, lives just opposite me, do you want to come over and stay tonight?”

Tang Su was just joking to tease her, certain that Sun Qing would feel too embarrassed.

As a result, Tang Su had still miscalculated; when had Sun Qing ever had thin skin?

“Great, I’ll sleep over at your house tonight. Speaking of which, since my cousin has already stayed at Doctor Lu’s house, don’t you think you and Doctor Lu should treat me to dinner? What should we eat? You’re already letting me crash here, so letting me freeload a meal should be fine too, right?”

Tang Su: “Of course it’s fine, I’ll ask Doctor Lu where to eat later, and text you.”

“Sister Jiaojiao’s little tavern is pretty good. It seemed like they had hot pot yesterday. The weather has gotten colder; what do you say we go there for some lamb hot pot?”

“It’s not just the two of us having dinner; I’ll check with Lu Han. Be good and wait.”

“You’re really under the thumb, you just wait. In the future, you’ll definitely be eaten up by Doctor Lu at home.”

“I’d like that.”

Sun Qing: “…”

Alright, one can’t buy happiness with money.

After making dinner plans with Tang Su, Sun Qing paid her share for the group’s kitty and then ditched them.

“Sorry guys, something came up last minute, and I can’t join you for fun tonight. I’ve paid my share, so you all enjoy and eat more. There’s no need to recalculate. I’m off; have fun,” she said.

After speaking, Sun Qing hailed a taxi and left.

On the other end, after chatting with Sun Qing, Tang Su found out that Zhao Xinlan’s hair was done. When Tang Su went to pay for both of them, the proprietress told her that her godmother had previously charged ten thousand yuan there, and it was enough for a good while of hair treatments.

Tang Su nodded; it turned out she could just use the card.

Afterward, the two went shopping. Zhao Xinlan bought two pairs of shoes and several outfits for Tang Su, as well as several for herself.

Tang Su didn’t want to spend all her godmother’s money, and since she had dinner plans with Doctor Lu that evening, she couldn’t invite her godmother for dinner.

Understanding the young girl’s dilemma, Zhao Xinlan reassured her, “It’s alright; you’ve spent most of the day with your godmother. You deserve this; I should reward you. Take them and wear them slowly over time.”

“Tonight I’ll eat at home with your parents.”

“Hmm, then I’ll drop you off first, and later go pick up Doctor Lu from work.”

“Alright.”

Later, after Zhao Xinlan also bought gifts for Su Ruoan and Tang Shengyi, she finally let Tang Su drive her home.

Because there were too many items, Zhao Xinlan couldn’t carry them all by herself. Besides clothes and gifts, Zhao Xinlan had also taken a trip to the supermarket and bought some frozen goods.

Zhao Xinlan only had two hands, so Tang Su helped carry them upstairs.

However, upon their return, they bumped into Tang Shengyi, who had left work early with a dark expression on his face.

Usually, Tang Shengyi didn’t smoke at home, but something seemed to have annoyed him today, and he’d forgotten Su Ruoan’s admonishments. He sat in the living room and smoked two cigarettes.

Although the doors and windows were open, Zhao Xinlan and Tang Su returned too early, and the smell of smoke hadn’t dispersed.

“Dad, why are you smoking?” Tang Su asked with concern as she entered the house.

“Tang Bao, why are you back?” Tang Shengyi hadn’t seen Tang Su when she returned that morning, and Su Ruoan hadn’t mentioned it to him either.

“I spent the day shopping with godmother, and we bought a lot of stuff. She couldn’t carry it all by herself, so I helped her carry some.”

“Your godmother, why buy so much? Why be so polite?”

“I can’t just live off you without contributing. Alright, Tang Su, better get going. Didn’t you have plans with Lu Han? He should be off work soon.”

“Dad, are you sure you’re okay?” Tang Su wasn’t very reassured.

“I’m fine, now go find Lu Han,” Tang Shengyi urged as well.

It was getting late, and he had already finished work, so he would start preparing dinner early for the two ladies.

“Alright then, I’m leaving.”

Tang Su turned around to change her shoes and left, slamming and locking the door with a bang.

Yet, Tang Su hadn’t gone far and, with her ear pressed against the door, she didn’t hear Zhao Xinlan ask anything. As soon as her daughter left, Tang Shengyi said to Zhao Xinlan, “Zhao Xinlan, that Jiang Tao, he’s really despicable. He is simply…”

That’s when Tang Su learned of Jiang Tao’s treachery. He actually used the promotion of her father to head of the department as a bargaining chip in exchange for her mother to persuade her godmother not to divorce him.

Jiang Tao, the venerable hospital director, really refreshed her view of him, elevating his repulsiveness to a whole new level.

No wonder he had stayed in the position of hospital director for so many years. A person like him was destined to be no more than a director; aiming for higher ground without considering his actual worth.

No way, how could he be so disgusting?

Hmph, truly outrageous.
