I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 161

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed with Shi Nuan working at Shengyuan. During this time, Shi Nuan learned a lot from Lin Yu. Lin Yu was a very opinionated and insightful person. In the beginning, Shi Nuan had some difficulty communicating with him, and often found him too harsh. However, after interacting more with him, her views of him changed for the better. She found that he was a nice person; at least, he was good to her.

Today, Shi Nuan had just finished work when she received a call from Jiang Yu. This surprised her a little. Ever since Shi Nuan got married, the Shi family didn’t reach out to her, making her think that they had long forgotten about her.

As soon as Shi Nuan answered the phone, Jiang Yu’s frosty voice drifted over, “Come back to Yun Ling tonight.”

Shi Nuan was slightly taken aback, “Is something wrong, mother?”

Based on Jiang Yu’s attitude towards her, Shi Nuan expected that it wasn’t good. Sure enough, Jiang Yu confirmed it when she said, “You and Mr. Su have known each other for at least half a month, right? How are the two of you getting along?”

Mr. Su? ”Mother, are you talking about Su Bancheng?” Shi Nuan bit on her lip when she thought about the fact that she had never even met this Su Bancheng before, let alone get along with him. She then answered, “I’ve been busy lately!”

 

“What’s there for you to be so busy with? I heard Wei say that you’ve already left Fucheng. You’re unemployed now, so what are you so busy with?!” Jiang Yu sounded like she didn’t believe a word Shi Nuan said, “I’m telling you, Su Bancheng is my best friend’s son.

He is from a wealthy family, has a good character, and is well-educated, so you better know what’s good for yourself. Do you think that I’d be able to find you such a good match if it wasn’t for Wei’s marriage?”

 

Shi Nuan narrowed her eyes slightly as discontent flashed across them, “Then you should just introduce him to Wei, mother. After all, she’s got nothing to lose!”

“You…” Jiang Yu was angered upon hearing Shi Nuan speak to her in such a discourteous way, “This is how you speak to me? Let me tell you this. You don’t have any say in the matter regarding Su Bancheng. Tonight, be at Yun Ling by seven; otherwise, don’t ever call me mother again!”

“Mother!” Shi Nuan pinched her nose bridge, “If you really insist on doing this, you’re leaving me no choice!”

Shi Nuan hung up the call and felt a headache brewing behind her eyes. With all that Jiang Yu had said playing in her mind, she dialed Fu Chengyan’s number, “Yan, I might not be able to have dinner with you tonight.”

“Hm?” Fu Chengyan squinted a little in confusion, “Are you working overtime tonight?”

“No!” Shi Nuan recounted the conversation that she had with Jiang Yu earlier, “I guess she just wants to get into the Su family’s good graces, but she doesn’t know that it wasn’t Su Bancheng who met me that day, but Su Shaoqing. I’m afraid that her wishful thinking is just exactly what it is!”

“I see.” Fu Chengyan’s brows raised slightly, those sharp eyes of his glinting with a hint of iciness, “Just go then!”

“You…” Shi Nuan never thought that Fu Chengyan would be so easily persuaded, “But I don’t even know Su Bancheng.”

Fu Chengyan’s lips twitched, “Don’t worry and just go. It’ll be fine!”

Shi Nuan felt relieved with Fu Chengyan’s comforting words.

Fu Chengyan ended the call and immediately called Su Shaoqing. Just as Su Shaoqing was about to enter the operating theater, his assistant came over with his phone, “Dr. Su, this is for you!”

Su Shaoqing raised his brows when he saw Fu Chengyan’s number on the screen. He couldn’t help but laugh when he answered the phone, “Well, what do you know, Fu Chengyan? I just sent Arnold back to you for a few days and you’re already…”

“Go to Yun Ling at seven tonight.” Fu Chengyan cut straight to the chase.Su Shaoqing had a smile on his lips, but when he heard what Fu Chengyan said, that smile was wiped indefinitely off his face, “Why do I need to go to Yun Ling? Are you treating me to dinner?”

“You could say that!” Fu Chengyan then hung up the call, leaving Su Shaoqing dumbfounded on the other end without even having the chance to turn him down. His phone rang again before he could come to his senses, but this time it was his cousin, Su Bansheng.

Su Shaoqing’s almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, “What a coincidence, I just got a call from Fu Chengyan. C’mon, bro, you’re not calling to ask me to go to Yun Ling, are you?”

“I am!” Su Bancheng was stingy with his words, only responding with a simple answer, “Seven tonight!”

“For real?! For you and Fu Chengyan to request this of me… Are you supposed to be meeting Shi Nuan?” Su Shaoqing smacked a hand onto his mouth, “C’mon bro, this is going overboard. Helping you once was enough, but now you’re asking me to help you again? What’s going on?”
