"Mom!" Su Man was completely speechless. "I have to go to the research institute to meet Li Li tomorrow!"
Su's mom froze for a moment, then glared at her harshly. "Your dad is in this condition and you still have the nerve to go see Li Li? Isn't it just some award ceremony over there? It's not something urgent!"
Su Man was at a loss for words.
Her dad was injured and lying in a hospital bed. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be running around outside. But asking her to accompany a man she had never met to go shopping—was that somehow reasonable???
Still, with Lu Yuwen right in front of her, she couldn't openly protest. That would be too awkward.
After all, he was her father's lifesaver. She should be thanking him profusely, not embarrassing him—right?
Su Man understood proper manners, so she simply pursed her lips to show her displeasure and refrained from continuing to argue with her mother.
