Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

205 205 Treatment on the agenda

Tan Rou had to rest for a while at noon, go to class, and make incense and medicine in the evening. Her body wouldn’t be able to take it if she went on for a long time, so she took a nap at noon to make up for the hours lost during her sleep.

However, before she went to bed, she received a message from Zhuang Liu. After reading the message, Tan Rou’s hand clenched her phone even tighter.

The Tan family was in contact with a foreign doctor. It was obvious who had requested it, but why did they contact the foreign doctors? It couldn’t be that Tan Jing had a problem with her brain and wanted to get it treated.

Thinking of this, Tan Rou couldn’t fall asleep. She couldn’t give tan Jing any chance. There were some things that she needed to firmly grasp with both her hands.

“Do you want to go see Old master Lu?” Zhuang Liu asked her.

“Yes.” Tan Rou said firmly. “Not only would I want to visit him, but I also have to convince Old master Lu first.”

“Alright,” Zhuang Liu replied without further questions.

Zhuang Liu said that he would go with her. This was what they had agreed on. However, before they went, they had to ask around to see if Lu Qing was there. Zhuang Liu didn’t want Lu Qing and Tan Rou to meet in the hospital.

Tan Rou didn’t have any objections. She just wanted to cure Old master Lu. Having one more ally was better than having another enemy. As for Lu Qing, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better not to mention him.

A few days later, Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou decided to head to the Clearflow Pavilion for lunch. It was secluded and suitable for discussing business. Plus, the food here was delicious.

“These days, Old master Lu’s condition has been fluctuating. Young master Lu has been in and out of the hospital frequently, so it’s hard to find an opportunity to meet Old master Lu alone.” Xiao Mo explained the situation to Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou.

“If you want to see old master Lu in private, you have to distract Young Master Lu.”

Zhuang Liu understood. “Follow him closely. When you see him leave the hospital, think of a way to trap him outside for a while.”

Tan Rou added on, “We just need to delay him for a short while. The plan that Uncle Bai and I have come up with is to focus on recuperation first. We can only give him a strong dose once Old Master Lu’s body has become stronger.”

“How long do you need?” Xiao Mo asked.

Tan Rou wasn’t sure yet. She would only have an answer for it once she evaluated the situation. “Once you catch Lu Qing, just try your best to delay him as long as possible. Once we finish the treatment, we will give you a signal.”

“We’ll do as Xiao Rou says.” Zhuang Liu gave the final call.

“You can head out and continue what you were doing.”

Once Xiao Mo left, only Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were left in the room. Zhuang Liu’s legs were disabled, so he needed Tan Rou’s help.

“How was it? Did you like today’s dishes?” Zhuang Liu asked gently. He rarely spoke like this, and it could be said that all his gentleness was reserved for this girl sitting across from him.

“There’s nothing here that isn’t good. Even Tao Qi, that troublesome little guy, couldn’t stop praising the food here.” Tan Rou said with a smile.

“He has been asking for me to bring back more for him.”

“It’s good that my little brother likes it. I’ll order a few dishes later and have them sent to your house.” Zhuang Liu spoke naturally.

Little brother? Whose younger brother did he refer to? Were they already this close? Speaking of which, with Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu’s friendship, there was no problem for Zhuang Liu to call Tao Qi “little brother.” However, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu did not seem to be just friends.

“Thank you,” she said. Tan Rou stirred the soup that Zhuang Liu had specially ordered for her. Her face that was blushing now betrayed her inner thoughts. She seemed to be drinking the soup calmly, but her heart was jumping. Zhuang Liu was indeed very concerned about her.

“There’s no need for you to thank me.” Zhuang Liu didn’t want them to be so distant with each other.

Before they finished their meal, Zhuang Liu sent a message to Xiao Mo and asked him to come over as soon as he was done with his business.

“Isn’t Miss Tan Rou over there?” Xiao Mo asked, unable to wrap his head around the situation. “Don’t you like to be alone with Miss Tan Rou?”

Zhuang Liu really wanted to fire this stupid assistant. “Just come over. What nonsense are you talking about? All of your bonuses will be deducted if you don’t do as I say.”

Xiao Mo, the bitter worker, thought to himself, ‘what did I do wrong this time?’

Zhuang Liu had asked Xiao Mo to check with Mr. Fang asked if the takeaway he ordered was ready, and Xiao Mo went to get it. Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou were then left alone inside the room. Zhuang Liu tilted his head to look at the girl standing beside him, and his heart ached. He had to get better soon so that he could stand beside her.

“What’s wrong?” Tan Rou noticed his gaze and asked with concern.

“Nothing. I just wanted to ask if you’re full.” Zhuang Liu smiled.

“I’m very full, thank you for your hospitality.”

“I’ve told you so many times.” Zhuang Liu repeated himself, “There’s no need for you to thank me. We don’t have to be so hostile with each other.”

Tan Rou raised her hand to brush her hair behind her ear and said with a smile, “Okay, I’ll remember.”

Zhuang Liu thought to himself, ‘I don’t want you to remember it. I hope you can make this a habit.’
