195: Chapter 195: Master Sends Flowers 195: Chapter 195: Master Sends Flowers “Ziang, what do you mean by this?”
Tang Sirou was utterly puzzled by what he had just said.
And after speaking, Lou Ziang fell silent.
Tang Sirou furrowed her brows, mouth agape, as if she wanted to speak but stopped herself.
Even after she finished meeting with Lou Guohui, she still couldn’t figure out what his previous words meant.
Lou Ziang escorted her downstairs, where they happened to run into Su He.
Su He simply gave them a brief glance.
Lou Ziang was the first to greet Su He, “Dr.
Su, what a coincidence, we’ve run into each other twice in less than an hour.”
At his words, Su He smiled but remained silent.
However, it was Tang Sirou who felt that Lou Ziang was somewhat odd today; he not only brought up Su He but also took the initiative to greet her.
Logically, he should dislike Su He.
But just now, she saw a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.
That was his admiration for Su He…
A warning bell went off in her mind…
Tang Sirou won’t claim to understand Lou Ziang well, but as a woman, her intuition was very accurate.
It seemed like he had a romantic interest in Su He.
Tang Sirou slightly frowned.
Su He didn’t interact with the pair and passed by them towards the elevator.
Just as Tang Sirou was about to speak to Lou Ziang, he interrupted, “I won’t see you out.
Let me know when you get home.”
With that, he turned around and left without hesitation.
Heading in the direction Su He had gone.
“…”
After standing and pondering for a moment, Tang Sirou also turned and left.
Once outside the hospital, she took out her phone and called An Xueyin.
“Xueyin, about that matter you mentioned last time, I think we can proceed with it.”
…
Elsewhere.
Su He had just entered the elevator when the doors were already halfway closed; a hand suddenly reached in, blocking and then opening them again.
And then, Lou Ziang walked in.
In the elevator was only Su He herself.
She glanced at him with a calm expression before looking away.
After entering, Lou Ziang pressed the button to close the doors.
“Dr.
Su, what time do you usually finish work?” he asked casually, as if they were well-acquainted.
Su He was fixated on the changing red numbers.
Then, she replied indifferently, “I’m not that familiar with you.”
But Lou Ziang didn’t seem bothered or embarrassed at all.
He chuckled and continued, “Dr.
Su seems to really dislike me.
Is it because I’m his son?”
“I wasn’t even born when my brother was born.
I knew nothing, and as for their grievances, I was never involved.”
Su He kept her hands in her pockets, turning a deaf ear and giving him no response.
Seeing that Su He didn’t reply, he continued, “Dr.
Su really has a fiery personality, to be honest, I quite like that.”
At these words, the previously unresponsive Su He suddenly reacted.
She turned her head slightly, her cool eyes casting a brief glance at Lou Ziang, “You’re indeed very annoying.
You better keep your mouth shut—sometimes, trouble comes from your tongue.”
Lou Ziang didn’t get angry but laughed instead, “Dr.
Su’s warning is appreciated.
But people like Dr.
Su who are beautiful, skilled in medicine, and straightforward in character are really rare.
I admire that, and my brother is truly lucky to have married you.”
Su He: “…”
She had no desire to engage with him.
At this moment, she wished she could kick him out.
Really annoying, like a pesky fly buzzing around her ear, she wanted to swat it away.
“Ding-dong!”
At this moment, the elevator stopped at the eighth floor and someone else came in—it was a cleaning lady with a cart.
Su He was relieved, glad not to be in the same space with this hypocritical individual.
But at just this time, Lou Ziang moved closer towards her, standing behind her.
Although there was some distance, she was quite uncomfortable.
So, just as the elevator doors were about to close, she pressed the open door button and quickly stepped out.
Her movement was swift, and Lou Ziang didn’t even have time to react.
He thought to follow her, but the cleaning worker suddenly changed the direction of her cart and placed it in front of him, blocking his way.
“…”
The elevator doors closed soon after.
Su He didn’t even want to take the elevator anymore and opted to take the stairs up the remaining seven floors.
Actually, she worried that Lou Ziang might be waiting for her on another floor.
Whether it was a false sense of warning or not, she just felt that way.
So, to avoid further sullying her eyes, she decided it was best to avoid him if she could.
…
On Friday morning when coming to work, Su He had just reached her office door when a nurse stopped her, saying, “Director Su, someone sent you a bouquet of flowers as a thank-you.
I’ve placed them in your office for you.”
Su He slightly furrowed her brows and nodded before pushing the door open.
A bouquet of pink roses was placed on her office desk, with a card inside.
Su He pulled it out and took a quick look.
It was a common phrase, “Dr.
Su, I hope you have a good mood every day.”
But…
In the bottom right corner, there was a signature: Ang.
Su He frowned, her fingers loosened, and the card fell back into its original spot.
Subsequently, she took out her cellphone, snapped a photo of the flowers on the desk.
Then she opened WeChat and sent it to someone.
At this moment, Jiang Yan, who was on his way to the company in his car, received her message.
He opened it and was surprised to find a picture of roses and a message: [Guess who sent them?]
The man’s brows furrowed; someone had sent her roses?
After thinking for a bit, he directly called Su He.
She picked up immediately.
The man started by asking, “Who sent them?”
Su He played coy, “Didn’t I ask you to guess?”
The man said, “Is there a reward if I guess it right?
Are you up for tonight?”
Su He: “…”
“Jiang Yan, can’t you think of something normal?
Early in the morning, and you’re discussing this topic with me; are you sexually frustrated?
Why don’t you come back now, and I can arrange a neurology consultation for you.”
“No reward, so are you guessing or not?
If not, I’m hanging up.”
After a brief silence, Su He gave him a hint, “This person is intimately connected to you.”
The man on the other end was silent for a moment before his deep, magnetic voice spoke, “Don’t tell me it’s Lou Ziang.”
Hearing this, Su He laughed softly, “President Jiang is indeed smart, with high intelligence.”
Implicitly, he had guessed correctly.
The driver, Jiang Feng, felt a chill down his spine.
Sneaking a peek through the rearview mirror, he noticed that the man’s face had darkened to an extreme.
What’s going on?
The Master shouldn’t be reacting this way while on the phone with the Young Madam…
Soon after, he heard his boss’s voice again, “Why is he sending you flowers?”
Flowers?
Someone sent flowers to the Young Madam?
No wonder Master’s handsome face turned so dark.
Hah, whoever sent flowers to the Young Madam sure has guts.
Impressive!
After knowing the reason, Jiang Feng decided to ignore everything outside his window, as long as he knew where Master’s anger came from, that was all that mattered, he would have a plan in mind.
Su He tapped the speakerphone button and put the phone on the desk, getting changed while speaking, “That, you’ll have to ask him yourself, I can’t read his mind.”
In fact, whether she said it or not, Jiang Yan could probably guess.
He just hadn’t expected that Lou Ziang would set his sights on Su He.
“Throw the flowers away,” the man commanded in a deep voice.
Even if he hadn’t said it, she would have thrown them away anyway.
“Okay, I got it.
I can’t talk anymore, I have to work.”
After Jiang Yan grunted a response, Su He hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Feng and with a deep voice said, “Starting from today, send a bouquet of roses to the Young Madam every day.”
Jiang Feng let out an “Ah,” then asked, “Send them to the hospital?”
Jiang Yan shot him a glance, “Otherwise, what?
Send them to your home?”
Jiang Feng: “…”
He shouldn’t have asked such a superfluous question; it was practically asking for a scolding.
“Yes, I understand,” he responded.
…
At the hospital.
Su He called Lu Zhenyu in.
“Director, what do you need?”
Su He tilted her chin and gestured towards the bouquet of flowers on her desk.
After seeing the flowers, Lu Zhenyu exclaimed, “Director, these must have been sent by President Jiang, right?”
Su He gave him an unimpressed look and said, “Help me throw them away.”
Lu Zhenyu was taken aback and confusedly asked, “Huh?
Why though?
The flowers are pretty, what a waste to throw them away.”
“Just throw it away when I tell you to.
No more nonsense.”
“…”
Lu Zhenyu didn’t dare ask another question.
He quickly picked up the flowers and rapidly said, “Okay, I’ll go throw them away now.”
After speaking, he turned and left.
Then headed towards the trash room.
Right as he was about to throw them away, he caught sight of a card inserted among the flowers.
Thinking of Su He’s expression just now, he curiously pulled it out.
It isn’t snooping now, is it?
After all, the Director had just handed it to him to deal with, and now the bouquet was just trash, so it wasn’t like he was intruding on someone’s privacy.
Lu Zhenyu hypnotized himself with this logic.
After reading it, he understood…
So it wasn’t sent by President Jiang…
No wonder Director Su said to throw it away.
Having read it, he returned it to its original place and stuck the bouquet in the middle of the trash, then turned and left.
–
In the blink of an eye, it was next Wednesday.
Su He had received roses for three consecutive days.
“Director, have all of these flowers from the past three days been sent by President Jiang?”
Lu Zhenyu was full of gossip, “And they’re all twenty-one roses.
Director, do you know what twenty-one roses mean?”
Su He shook her head; she really hadn’t thought about it.
She was only slightly startled on Monday.
She didn’t even look at them, just asked Lan Yan to throw them out, thinking they were still from Lou Ziang.
But who would have guessed, Lan Yan told her, “Boss, these are sent by Master.”
She was stunned at the moment.
In her memory, Jiang Yan had never sent her flowers before.
This was the first time ever.
She subconsciously thought he was setting a trap for her, and then she received a message from him: [Wife, do you like the flowers?
Are mine prettier or his?]
At that moment, Su He understood what he was doing!
She thought he would only send them for one day, but who knew, the second day, the third day…
they continued.
“What’s the significance?” Su He casually asked.
Lu Zhenyu asked in surprise, “You really don’t know?”
Su He glanced at him and said, “Do I look like I know?”
“Get it out quickly, I still have to make rounds.”
Lu Zhenyu said, “Twenty-one sounds like ‘I love you,’ so twenty-one roses mean ‘I love you,’ pure love, truly…”
Su He: “…”
She coughed lightly, “Alright, I got it, no need to continue.
Work.”
With that, she turned and headed to the patient ward area.
Lu Zhenyu watched her hurriedly leave and then turned to Lan Yan and asked, “Did the Director get shy?”
He felt as though he had discovered a new world.
Lan Yan shrugged and spread his hands, without saying anything, and followed.
…
At noon.
Jiang Yan arrived on time to pick up Su He for lunch.
Except this time, he got out of the car and stood waiting outside the hospital entrance.
Su He hadn’t arrived yet, but she encountered Tang Sirou and Lou Ruozhi, the two women coming to visit Lou Guohui.
Lou Guohui had been hospitalized for almost two weeks now, and his condition was said to be getting more and more serious.
Jiang Yan ignored them.
When Lou Ruozhi saw him, she quickly let go of Tang Sirou’s hand and ran in his direction.
But before she could reach Jiang Yan, four bodyguards, appearing out of nowhere, stopped her from getting close.
“Let me through, I want to see Jiang Yan,” Lou Ruozhi demanded fiercely.
The bodyguards stood still as a wall, immovable.
And if she tried to move to the side, they would move with her, just not allowing her to get any closer.
Her face contorted with an extremely ugly expression, she said, “Do you know who you’re blocking?”
The only response she got was a breeze passing by…
Tang Sirou approached, glancing at the man who stood dignified like a deity, pursed her lips slightly, and said to him, “Ah Yan, just meet with your mother.
She really has something to say to you, after all, she is your mother.
You shouldn’t have any deep-seated grudges, don’t let the relationship become so stiff.”
Yet the man completely ignored both women from beginning to end.
He found them annoying and commanded, “Get them out of here, don’t dirty my eyes and ears.”
“Understood, Master.”
His words were neither light nor heavy, but Lou Ruozhi and Tang Sirou could hear them.
Their expressions changed instantly.
But Lou Ruozhi had finally gotten a chance to see him and refused to just walk away.
“Let go, don’t touch me!” She dodged the bodyguards’ attempts and even became agitated, shaking them off.
Then, she yelled at Jiang Yan, “Jiang Yan, I’m your mother, why do you plot against me?”
“The inheritance left by your father originally belonged to me, why won’t you give it to me?
No matter what, you owe me an explanation!”
“If you don’t give me an explanation today, I’m going to make a scene here and let everyone judge for me!”
In that moment, Lou Ruozhi had completely lost her image.
She seemed like a shrew scolding the streets.
Even Tang Sirou was somewhat stunned; she had rarely seen such an unseemly Lou Ruozhi.
Jiang Yan’s frosty demeanor finally loosened slightly, but…
What he said was, “This is just part of it, and you can’t handle this much?”
