Chapter 1169: Extra Story of the Eel 6
"Mom!" Su Man was completely speechless. "I have to go to the research institute to meet Li Li tomorrow!"
Su’s mom froze for a moment, then glared at her harshly. "Your dad is in this condition and you still have the nerve to go see Li Li? Isn’t it just some award ceremony over there? It’s not something urgent!"
Su Man was at a loss for words.
Her dad was injured and lying in a hospital bed. Logically speaking, she shouldn’t be running around outside. But asking her to accompany a man she had never met to go shopping—was that somehow reasonable???
Still, with Lu Yuwen right in front of her, she couldn’t openly protest. That would be too awkward.
After all, he was her father’s lifesaver. She should be thanking him profusely, not embarrassing him—right?
Su Man understood proper manners, so she simply pursed her lips to show her displeasure and refrained from continuing to argue with her mother.
Lu Yuwen smiled and said, "No need to trouble yourself, Miss Su. I’m just here in Shanghai temporarily and don’t have any specific plans. I’ll just wander around for now, and if I need anything, I’ll be sure to let you know."
Su’s mom responded enthusiastically, "Alright, alright, no need to be so polite with us. Once Old Su is discharged, we’ll personally thank you again."
In her heart, Su Man grumbled: back and forth with all the pleasantries—can this just end already?
