107: Chapter 107 A Bit Nervous 107: Chapter 107 A Bit Nervous Su Lu stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the source of the voice.

It has to be said, although Su Yi held little regard for her, his elder sister, in other respects, he had indeed grown into a fine man.

With handsome features and an extraordinary bearing, he also had the right manners, even extinguishing the half-smoked cigarette between his fingers before coming over to meet his unwelcome sister.

He was clad in a T-shirt, shorts, and a baseball cap, and he had headphones hanging around his neck, which made him appear very much like a student, but in reality, he was already a grown man.

Although Su Lu had long adopted a calm mindset, it wasn’t true that she harbored no resentment at all.

She had only this one brother, and yet he had been turned against her by Su Yukan and Zhu Xinyan.

Su Lu was no saint; it would have been impossible for her to feel absolutely no resentment.

It was just that over time, she had come to terms with it.

Resentment aside, sometimes Su Lu still felt…

no matter what, if she and her brother hadn’t gone to live with the Su family all those years ago, even if she didn’t consider what she would’ve become or whether she would’ve led a happier life, perhaps Su Yi wouldn’t have turned out so well.

To give credit where credit’s due, although the Su family hadn’t treated her very well.

But, after Su Yi had joined them in isolating her, his days at the Su family’s residence had actually been quite good.

“Did you need something from me?” Su Lu looked at him calmly, her eyes and tone serene.

Su Yi had a slightly awkward expression, furrowing his brows without speaking for a moment.

Su Lu was in no rush to press for an answer and waited quietly.

It was Secretary Yang who spoke up from the side, “Does Young Master Su have something to say?”

Only then did Su Yi, with a frown and an awkward air, take a box out of his backpack and awkwardly hand it to Su Lu, “Here, for you.”

The tone was stiff, but the box was now presented in front of Su Lu.

“Uh, thank you?” Su Lu reached out to receive it, not exactly overwhelmed but still somewhat surprised.

Su Yi didn’t say much else, maintaining his awkward expression and turning his face away to avoid looking at her.

After pondering for a moment, Su Lu asked, “Then, may I leave now?”

Perhaps because Su Yi had never spoken to her kindly, his words and expressions were a bit awkward, “I…

I’m not stopping you!”

Su Lu gave a slight smile, nodded, “Then take care.

I’ll be going now.”

It was only after she had turned with Secretary Yang towards the parking spot that she heard Su Yi’s awkward voice behind her, “When…

when will you come back next time?”

Su Lu paused.

Truth be told, she had not intended to come back here again.

She had no fond memories or impressions of this estate, or else she wouldn’t have said what she did to Su Zhe earlier in the tea room.

But now, hearing Su Yi’s words, Su Lu fell silent for a few seconds and then softly said, “Let’s…

see next time.”

Su Yi sensed her polite refusal.

He should have stopped there and said no more, but after a pause, he couldn’t help but say, “They’re all going to be driven out, what are you afraid of coming back for?”

This comment was tinged with a touch of anger, but it wasn’t said in defense of Su Jiao and the others.

Instead, it sounded as if he was frustrated with Su Lu’s lack of defiance.

If it had been before, Su Lu would usually have ignored such an aggressive statement from Su Yi and not bothered to respond.

But now, after a moment’s thought, she still answered, “It’s not that I’m afraid, I just don’t want to.

I’m not like you, or them.

I don’t feel a sense of belonging here, nor do I have any fixations.”

Su Yi opened his mouth as if he had something else he wanted to say but ended up saying nothing, only waving his hand.

Only then did Su Lu follow Secretary Yang into the car.

Secretary Yang smiled somewhat helplessly, “Miss, Young Master Su is just a bit stubborn, but he does care about you.”

Su Lu smiled back but said nothing.

She appreciated Secretary Yang’s attempt at comfort, yet she was keenly aware of her own worth.

She had sent Cheng Youran a message while in the car.

Su Lu: “I’m on my way over now.”

Cheng Youran replied quickly, “Okay.

You said earlier today that you were going to get an examination, what kind of examination?

I’ll write you a requisition first, and you can do it directly when you arrive.”

After some thought, Su Lu responded with a short message, “A blood draw.”

“What for?” Just as Cheng Youran sent this, Su Lu had already crafted her reply and sent it, “I think I might be pregnant.

Is a blood test more accurate?”

Then, Cheng Youran, who had been responding quickly all along, suddenly stopped replying.

Soon after, a call came directly through.

Seeing Secretary Yang driving, Su Lu hesitated, then chose not to answer and swiped to hang up.

Having been around Su Zhe for so long, Secretary Yang, by association with influential people, had naturally become quite sharp himself, always alert and perceptive—a true mastermind.

With the car so quiet, it was probably best not to answer the phone.

After all…

Su Lu could almost imagine the roaring that might come from Cheng Youran on the other line.

After she hung up, Cheng Youran’s messages came bombing in one after another, like an assault.

“Why didn’t you answer the phone?!”

“You’re freaking kidding me, right?”

“Are you messing with me?”

“For real or not?”

“Whose is it?”

Looking at the barrage of messages, Su Lu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

She typed a message back, “I’ll be there shortly, we’ll talk when I see you.”

Cheng Youran quickly responded with a message of his own, “Fine.

Wait until we meet, I’ll deal with you then, lady!”

From these messages, Su Lu could glean Cheng Youran’s gritted teeth, clearly her own sudden news had given him quite a shock.

When the car arrived at the hospital, as expected, Cheng Youran just couldn’t wait.

He was waiting right at the entrance, his face looking utterly unpredictable.

After thanking Secretary Yang, Su Lu got out of the car.

Cheng Youran reached out and grabbed her hand, Su Lu followed him into the building with a mix of laughter and helplessness.

“Hey, not so fast, Doctor Cheng, Doctor Cheng, wait a moment,” Su Lu said.

Cheng Youran replied impatiently, “Wait my ass!

This is urgent!”

Helplessly, Su Lu said, “Doctor Cheng, please calm down a bit.”

“Calm my ass!” Cheng Youran retorted while reaching into his pocket and pulling out a set of blood draw equipment.

Su Lu was dragged into his office, where Doctor Cheng’s professional skills shone brilliantly.

With a swift and skilled motion, he found the vein and extracted the blood in no time.

He even called a nurse over to take the blood to the laboratory for an urgent test.

Then he said to Su Lu, “Pregnancy tests done with a stick might give you a false positive, so a blood test is necessary.

Blood tests are the most accurate.”

Cheng Youran’s urgency put Su Lu on edge as well.

Indeed, a blood test was the most accurate.

Biting her lip lightly, Su Lu said, “You Ran, I’m a bit anxious.”
