23: Chapter 23: The Visit of the White Moonlight 23: Chapter 23: The Visit of the White Moonlight Su Yimo had spent half an hour with her, after which she had Lan Yan take him back to Pear Garden Pavilion.
Before leaving, he asked with a hint of grievance, “Mommy, I don’t want to go to kindergarten.”
Just now, Su He had decided to find a kindergarten for him here.
Su He smiled tenderly, like a loving mother, “Okay.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yimo was about to cheer and shout “Hooray for Mommy,” when he heard his mother’s tone change: “Then you’ll immediately go back to Zurich with Uncle, and you won’t have to attend kindergarten.”
His little face, which had just brightened with joy, instantly fell.
As soon as it struck six o’clock, Su He’s punctual off-work DNA kicked in.
But today, she didn’t feel like moving.
Her colleagues at cardiac surgery were puzzled.
Someone asked, “Hey, Doctor Lu, why hasn’t Director Su left on time today?”
Because it was already 6:05, Su He was still not out of her office.
Normally, she would have left the moment it struck six.
By 6:05, she probably would have nearly reached the hospital’s main gate.
Moreover, Director Su only had one major surgery in the morning, and she spent virtually the whole afternoon in her office.
However, Lu Zhenyu was still preoccupied with the revelation that Su He had a son.
Seeing him sitting there like a silly goose daydreaming, Yang Cong stretched out his long leg and kicked him, “What are you thinking about?
You seem so engrossed.”
Lu Zhenyu snapped back to reality and gave an evasive reply: “Nothing much, just pondering a patient we received this afternoon.”
“Do you want to go in and check?” Yang Cong nodded toward the firmly shut door of Su He’s office.
Someone chimed in: “Right, Doctor Lu, only you would have the courage to enter Director Su’s office at this time.”
Lu Zhenyu glanced at everyone: “…”
He hesitated for a moment before standing up, but the next second “click!”
The door to that office opened, and Su He had already changed and stepped out.
Everyone exchanged looks and turned around, lowering their heads and pretending to be busy.
Su He didn’t pay much attention to their behavior.
At the moment, she was bothered by the thought of facing Jiang Yan soon.
Distractedly, she walked past them, but just as she reached the doorway, she stopped.
She turned to face Lu Zhenyu and Yang Cong, speaking with a somewhat stern expression, “Doctor Lu, if anything happens to the old gentleman in bed 16, call me, and Doctor Yang, pay attention to the old lady in the ICU, let me know immediately if there’s a problem.”
Both nodded, replying in unison: “Okay, got it.”
As soon as Su He left the office, Yang Cong felt that something was off.
He got up and whispered into Lu Zhenyu’s ear: “Have you noticed that Director Su seems a bit preoccupied today?”
The more Yang Cong thought about it, the more it seemed amiss, “Could it be related to that aloofly handsome guy from this afternoon?”
He asked curiously and with a bit of gossip.
Lu Zhenyu shrugged his shoulders with a face that said I don’t know: “I’m not a mind-reader, why don’t you go ask her yourself?”
Yang Cong rolled his eyes: “…” He wasn’t foolish.
Without saying much more, Lu Zhenyu picked up a patient’s report by his side, “I’m going to get busy now.”
Many people here didn’t recognize Jiang Yan, nor did they know he’s from the Yue City Jiang Family; that wasn’t strange since the rumored Fifth Young Master of Jiang Family, who was not expected to live past thirty, had almost never been seen by the public.
His name was known, but not his face.
As Su He just stepped out of the hospital lobby, someone called out to her from behind.
She stopped, turned around, and saw a woman in full gear walking towards her.
Su He did not recognize that it was Tang Sirou.
Just as she was puzzled, Tang Sirou had already approached her and took off her sunglasses.
Su, I’m Sirou,” she said with a gentle and affectionate tone.
Only then did Su He realize it was her.
Her expression was natural, neither cold nor warm, as she responded, “Hello, Miss Tang, is there something you need?”
Tang Sirou didn’t care about her indifference and enthusiastically said: “I came to the hospital to visit Old Mrs.
I was just about to leave, and Yan said he’d come to pick me up later since Beiyan is hosting a welcome party for him.
I didn’t expect to run into you, Dr.
Su, just as I was leaving.”
She kept referring to him affectionately as “Yan,” but Su He felt nothing.
What puzzled her was—
Jiang Yan was coming to pick up Tang Sirou?
Then why did he tell her earlier that he was coming to pick her up?
Tang Sirou, however, did not know that Jiang Yan came to the hospital to pick up Su He.
She had called Jiang Yan fifteen minutes earlier, and he said he would be at the hospital soon, so she assumed he was coming for her.
Su He was worrying about how to avoid tonight’s event, but Tang Sirou unexpectedly gave her a perfect excuse.
With a light smile, she said, “I see, in that case, I won’t disturb you, Miss Tang.
After saying this, Su He wanted to turn around and leave, but Tang Sirou spoke up again: “Dr.
Su, I’m sorry, I only found out yesterday that you are Uncle An’s child.”
In fact, she had long known that Su He was from the An Family.
After she married Jiang Yan, she learned of Su He’s identity.
Thankfully, Su He was not favored by the An Family, and An Chengyuan even drove her out, sending her back to the Su Family for upbringing, and for the past decade or so, the An Family hadn’t been involved in her life.
However, she didn’t understand why the Jiang Family would let Jiang Yan marry a daughter abandoned by others with no background to speak of.
Su He did not respond to her, her delicate face showing no emotion.
But she waited for her next words.
Tang Sirou said, “I knew that Uncle An had a daughter before my aunt married him, but I hadn’t seen you and didn’t know it was you.
On behalf of Xueyin, I apologize for her outspoken words to you yesterday; I hope you can forgive her.
She’s just impulsive and sometimes speaks without thinking.
Yan also promised me he wouldn’t press charges, Dr.
Could you please not hold it against her?”
Su He’s eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of an almost imperceptible cold smirk in her dark pupils.
Immediately after, she smiled graciously and said: “Really?
Miss Tang and Miss An are truly as close as sisters, but you need not worry, Miss An has already apologized to me in person.”
Tang Sirou was clearly taken aback.
An Xueyin apologized to Su He?
Why didn’t she tell her?
And given An Xueyin’s character, how could she apologize so easily to someone else?
However, she quickly recovered and said immediately, “So Xueyin has already apologized to you, Dr.
Su He didn’t wish to talk more with her, “Since Miss Tang is fine, I’ll be taking my leave.”
But Tang Sirou had more to say, “Wait a moment, Dr.
This time, Su He’s eyebrows involuntarily knitted together.
Su, I know that you and Mr.
Yan are already married.
I don’t know why you got married back then, but you’ve been separated for four years after the marriage,” she spoke without a single hint of accusation, merely stating a fact calmly.
Indeed, it was a fact.
Su He’s eyebrows furrowed, “Miss Tang, what do you want to ask?”
Yan?” Tang Sirou inquired.
