The female clerk hadn’t yet regained her composure, watching Su Han’s retreating figure, her lips moved, murmuring as if in a dream.
“Reason?
He talked reason to a criminal?” Lin Lin felt somewhat foolish, her lips twitching involuntarily, Su Han reasoning with that criminal, persuading him to apologize and surrender?
What a joke!
That criminal was a madman, almost killing someone over a breakup, and Su Han could reason with him?
If she believed that, she might as well quit her job!
Lin Lin wanted to ask more, but seeing that the female clerk was still in shock, she shook her head and decided to wait until she had calmed down before asking again.
She turned her head to look at Su Han, who had already left, and her brows knitted slightly.
Even if naive, Lin Lin had come to realize that Su Han was definitely not the useless man without any skills that Qiao Yushan had described.
Based on what happened today alone, there were few who could achieve this.
But why didn’t he explain himself last night when she berated and insulted him so?
He simply couldn’t be bothered to explain to her, could he?
Thinking this, Lin Lin felt played by Su Han, had she acted like a fool before a master, showing off ineptly?
“Bastard, I will dig out your secrets!” Lin Lin cursed through clenched teeth, her face full of unwillingness, vowing fiercely; Su Han was definitely hiding something.
This guy had always been in disguise.
She immediately organized the scene, dispersing the crowd as much as possible to minimize the impact, and once that was done, she would find Su Han and get some clear answers.
No one could wear a disguise in front of her, absolutely none!
…
Su Han hadn’t thought that much; he just didn’t want to see anyone get hurt, and he certainly didn’t want to see anyone die in front of him.
Returning to the Qiao Family Courtyard with the medicinal herbs, Qiao Yuman hadn’t come back yet, probably off who knows where, and Qiao Yushan naturally hadn’t got off work yet.
She was a workaholic, not returning home until all the day’s work was done.
“Even better, it’s quieter,” Su Han chuckled and then returned to his room to process the herbs.
His use of medicine was different from that of other doctors.
Su Han was very meticulous in controlling the herbs, not tolerating any discrepancy.
Some herbs still needed to be further processed with Profound Qi to enhance their effects.
The Lingzhi mushroom, having been cut open by Old Zhang, leaked a strand of essence, which was actually what Su Han needed.
“Fifty years old, and with a strand of essence leaked, the medicine won’t be too potent, saving me the trouble of doing it myself,” Su Han thought to himself.
He held the Lingzhi in his hand, and a faint flow of Qi immediately seeped from the tips of his fingers, enveloping the mushroom entirely.
The subtle flow of Qi was winding and seemed extremely mystical, which would have surely startled onlookers.
This method was baffling, much like that day when Su Han saved Old Master Dong by using Profound Qi Finger, almost making Xu Lao jump out of his skin.
Su Han was in his room processing the herbs, and downstairs, a Porsche slowly drove into the Qiao Family Courtyard—Qiao Yushan had returned.
“Miss,”
Upon hearing the sound, Mother Wu immediately went out to help Qiao Yushan with her bag, smiling, “The Young Master just came back as well.”
Qiao Yushan responded, then suddenly paused, feeling an inexplicable tremor in her heart when Mother Wu called her “Young Master’s wife.” The title seemed to have become a habit in the Qiao Family.
Had she subconsciously accepted it?
She realized what was happening and just as she was about to explain, asking Wu Ma to change the form of address in the future, Wu Ma had already turned and entered the kitchen, leaving Qiao Yushan no choice but to shake her head with a resign smile flashing across her face.
Her son-in-law?
Had Su Han already become the Qiao Family’s son-in-law?
Her future husband?
Qiao Yushan changed her shoes and walked up the stairs.
At the turn of the stairs, she stopped, couldn’t help but look towards Su Han’s room, and wondered what on earth he was doing so early back at home.
Perhaps driven by curiosity, Qiao Yushan didn’t even realize that she had started to become curious about Su Han.
Her footsteps were light, just like a cat’s, as she tread in pink fur slippers towards Su Han’s room.
At that moment, Su Han was in his room processing herbs.
Watching the Lingzhi revolve in his hand, wrapped in Profound Qi, he frowned, still somewhat dissatisfied, and shook his head, “Yushan is a good person, but she’s just too aloof, always pretending to be strong.”
Just as she reached the door, Qiao Yushan seemed to faintly hear Su Han commenting about her and couldn’t help but lean closer to listen.
“Although she’s pretty, she has quite a few little faults.”
Qiao Yushan heard another sentence and immediately felt her face flush with anger, the red spreading to the base of her neck.
She bit her lip lightly, itching to rush in and berate Su Han for saying she had a lot of little faults!
Where did she have faults?
It was insufferable!
She huffed indignantly, turned around on her fur slippers, and returned to her own room.
Su Han, who heard movement in the house, subconsciously glanced towards the door.
He was holding a sprig of a Hundred Grass Tree, a material beneficial for conditioning the body.
He was considering making some preparations for Qiao Yushan as well.
Qiao Yushan worked overtime every day.
It seemed to have no effect, but her body was indeed suffering.
She had many small ailments and needed proper care.
Little did he know that the few words he had just said had been misunderstood by Qiao Yushan as him talking behind her back.
“Tasteless!
It’s simply tasteless!”
Back in her room, Qiao Yushan was truly furious.
A grown man, instead of aspiring to advance and improve his own abilities, spent his time gossiping behind people’s backs?
Qiao Yushan was so angry her face turned red.
The nerve of that bastard to criticize her!
Thinking of Su Han pointing out her many little faults, she felt even more displeased.
She was perfect, okay?
Qiao Yushan gritted her teeth with hatred.
Su Han had said before that he didn’t think highly of her and told her not to force herself.
Did he really look down on her?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
She lay down and started kicking the blankets furiously, her face filled with hurt and indignation.
She had never thought she would be looked down upon by Su Han, she…
she was actually disdained by such a man!
Qiao Yushan couldn’t accept it, she was so full of hatred!
How could she have faults, how could she have any flaws?
Everyone else said she was the perfect goddess!
How come she was full of faults in Su Han’s eyes?
The more she thought, the more disappointed and unwilling she felt, lying on her pillow, unable to hold back her tears.
Why was her life so tough, why was her grandfather forcing her like this, why?
