Chapter 1458: Deliberately exaggerating so he would listen
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Manman was waiting. She was waiting for Shi Hanchu to be thirty-five years old…
If Shi Hanchu were still alive by then, she would like to see what other excuses he would use to reject her.
Su Manman waited for two years.
During this time, Su Manman had already become crazy popular. She was known as a “Femme Fatale.”
Su Manman also instructed Tu Jie not to arrange the same work for Shi Hanchu and her. If possible, she did not want them to bump into each other.
Many men were pursuing Su Manman, but Su Manman didn’t fancy any of them.
However, she would always go whenever Old Madam Fu arranged for a blind date for her. She thought it was just a formality. As long as she could make Old Madam Fu happy, Su Manman didn’t mind at all.
“Manman, your grandma has arranged another blind date for you today. It’s almost midnight. Do you still want to go?” Dong Dong asked Su Manman, who was removing her makeup.
“Go, of course! Why wouldn’t I go?” Su Manman put some cream on her bare face. “If I don’t go, my grandma will nag at me again!”
“Oh… okay!” Dong Dong hugged the schedule details in her arms tightly.
In the past, Su Manman would just leave after the meal. However, after Su Manman and the other party finished their meal today, they still went to a bar to spend more time with the man.
Dong Dong felt that something wasn’t right. This was the first time Su Manman came out of a blind date like they were best buds. She hurriedly ran over. “Manman… you should go back! Have you forgotten about the incident where you were drugged? If it weren’t for your cousin, no one could guarantee that something would have happened!”
“It’s okay, let me introduce them to you… This is my childhood friend!” Su Manman pointed at a man in sportswear and smiled as she said, “Don’t worry! If you’re worried, let’s go together…”
To be exact, this was really Fu Manman’s childhood friend…
It was just that he had gone overseas in the early years and had only recently returned to the country. He had originally planned to make a trip to the Fu family to contact Fu Manman, but he hadn’t expected to bump into Su Manman on a blind date with his friend today.
Hence, Su Manman abandoned her blind date and went to drink with her childhood friend.
Dong dong: “…”
Today was Shi Hanchu’s 35th birthday. Su Manman had already found out about Shi Hanchu’s birthday from Little Song and was about to rush over.
Still feeling worried, Dong Dong chose to follow Su Manman…
However, when Su Manman reached the place, she realized that Shi Hanchu had already left. He said that his friends could have fun here on his tab while he left first.
Su Manman didn’t drink much that night. After sitting for a while, she went home.
They didn’t say a word throughout the journey. Dong Dong thought that Su Manman must have missed Shi Hanchu.
She thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “Manman, do you think God Shi went to visit Jiang Mingzhu? I heard that God Shi will go every year during his birthday, but he seems to be busy this year, so he didn’t have the time to go.”
Running to the cemetery so late at night? Wasn’t he afraid of bumping into ghosts…
No, perhaps Shi Hanchu was trying to run into Jiang Mingzhu’s ghost.
How infuriating! Su Manman patted her chest.
Not hearing any response from Su Manman, Dong Dong fell silent for a moment before saying, “Then… are you still going to Old Master Su’s place for treatment tomorrow?”
“Go, of course!” Su Manman frowned. “If I don’t go, that old man will nag me to death!”
Now, Su Manman and her grandpa were on very good terms.
Perhaps because of the frequency at which they met each other, which was once every three days, coupled with Su Manman’s natural closeness to the old man, with her always telling him not to do this or that, it made the old man feel that Su Manman resembled his deceased wife. He became more obedient towards Su Manman’s exhortations.
Early the next morning, Su Manman had yet to wake up when she received a call from the old man asking her to quickly come for her treatment.
Su Manman didn’t even wash her face. She gave the excuse that she wanted to have early breakfast and went over.
To her surprise, Su Manman saw Shi Hanchu, who had just passed his 35th year mark, at her maternal grandfather’s house.
Su Manman, who hadn’t even washed her face, was stunned. She wished she could go back home immediately.
This differed completely from what she had imagined!
In her imagination, she wanted to look nice when she appeared before Shi Hanchu and asked him if he had been well in the past two years!
Or perhaps… she would bring a handsome guy with her!
But what was this now?
They met just like that!
Shi Hanchu was standing in the yard with one hand in his pocket as he watered the flowers for Su Moqing. When he saw Su Manman entering the room, a smile appeared on his lips. “Long time no see. How have you been these two years?”
Su Manman was speechless.
Shi Hanchu was trying to steal her lines!
Dong Dong, who was standing at the door, saw Shi Hanchu too. She was so excited that she felt like taking a picture to send to the couple’s shippers fan club, which had been inactive for nearly a year.
After washing up and eating breakfast, Su Manman laid down and obediently let Su Moqing do the acupuncture treatment on her.
When Old Master Su was washing his hands after the treatment, Su Manman saw that Shi Hanchu was tidying up the cutlery she had used. She asked Su Moqing, “Old Master Su, we’ve been doing this treatment for so long, but there’s still no improvement. Is my ailment something that can’t be cured? Tell me the truth…”
“Why are you so anxious at such a young age?” Su Moqing rebutted Su Manman. “Is this an urgent matter? Just do the treatment first. What if it ends up being cured! If you don’t treat it… you won’t have a chance for it to recover!”
Su Moqing drew two pieces of tissue paper, wiped his hands, and then used his gaze to signal Su Manman to look at Shi Hanchu. “Do you see him? That person… originally wasn’t supposed to live past thirty-five years old. He relied on medicinal cuisine to recuperate. He listened to me well and obediently took his medicine on time. Look at him now. He’s still alive!”
Upon hearing this, Su Manman sat up and looked at Su Moqing, blinking. “You mean Shi Hanchu?”
“Who else? Do you think anyone can get my treatment?” Su Moqing pulled the chair over and sat down with legs crossed as he put on his glasses. As he read the newspaper, he said, “He has such a serious heart disease from which no one thought he’d recover. I told him to get married and have a child. At the very least, even if he died in the future, his legacy would live on. But he just wouldn’t listen!”
Su Manman’s heart skipped a beat…
So, Shi Hanchu… wasn’t lying.
“Old Su, I’ve already washed and set up the dishes. I’ll be leaving first…”
“What’s the hurry? You have nothing on this afternoon!” Su Moqing turned to look at Shi Hanchu.
Shi Hanchu swept his gaze over Su Manman and said, “I haven’t visited Mingzhu yet…”
Su Moqing nodded. “Go ahead!”
Su Manman stared at Shi Hanchu and said nothing.
Only then did Su Manman take a good look at Shi Hanchu…
Compared to two years ago, Shi Hanchu had gotten slightly thinner. His cheeks were sunken, and he looked tired.
Even so, Shi Hanchu was still very handsome…
But who would believe that someone like Shi Hanchu had a heart disease?
After Shi Hanchu left, Su Manman looked at Su Moqing as if she didn’t know what was going on. “Did you deliberately exaggerate Shi Hanchu’s condition so that he would listen to you?”
