    Chapter 94: The Scheming 'Green Tea' Shows Up

    "If you're hungry, go wash your hands and eat. Daddy will help you wash your hands."

    After saying this, Fu Tinghua took Niu Niu to wash her hands.

    Seeing this, Su He, who was following behind Niu Niu, also took Zai Zai to wash his hands, and then the family sat down to eat.

    Both Zai Zai and Niu Niu were used to Su He's cooking and had become picky eaters.

    So when they tried the canteen stew, both found it pretty gross.

    But the kids were good kids who knew not to waste food, so they still cleaned their plates.

    Su He also found the food these days unpalatable and said to Fu Tinghua, "I'll cook dinner tonight. Let's not eat out. There aren’t any decent places to eat around here."

    After a pause, she couldn’t help adding, "I should just open my own restaurant. It’d be a hit."

    Hearing her words, Fu Tinghua looked up at her.

    "Do you have time to run a restaurant?" he asked.

    Su He: "......" She really didn’t. And more importantly, a restaurant would be too much work.

    I can handle cooking for four, but preparing meals for a large crowd? She didn’t have the energy.

    Just then, someone called from outside.

    "Dr. Fu, Dr. Fu, are you home?"

    Sounded like a woman.

    Su He raised an eyebrow and was about to stand up when Fu Tinghua stood up first. "I’ll check," he said.

    Seeing him head out, Su He stayed seated and continued eating with the children.

    As soon as Fu Tinghua stepped outside, he saw Zhu Yurong, the nurse who kept bothering him.

    "Nurse Zhu, what do you need?" he asked coldly.

    Zhu Yurong had a sweet, delicate look and flashed a charming smile at Fu Tinghua. "Dr. Fu, I made some dumplings and made too many, so I thought I’d bring some for you."

    Looking at the tall, unbelievably handsome Fu Tinghua, Zhu Yurong’s face flushed pink.

    Dr. Fu was just so gorgeous.

    She stared at him adoringly and handed him the bag in her hands.

    Even Fu Tinghua, who was clueless about romance, could tell her intentions, which was why he had always avoided her.

    Today, with Su He finally visiting him, he didn’t want her to see him being harassed.

    With a stern expression, he said to Zhu Yurong, "No need. Take them back. My wife is home, so that’s all."

    As he turned to leave, Zhu Yurong grabbed the hem of his shirt.

    At that moment, Su He happened to step outside and saw the scene.

    Spotting Su He, Fu Tinghua panicked inwardly and snapped at Zhu Yurong, "Let go!"

    Zhu Yurong jolted in surprise and followed Fu Tinghua's gaze, spotting the woman standing at the doorway, raising an eyebrow and looking down her nose at her.

    She gaped at the stunning woman not far away, and anger surged in her heart.

    She had worked so hard to get closer to Dr. Fu, even throwing dignity to the wind just to get his attention—yet someone else had swooped in first.

    Fu Tinghua quickly walked up to Su He and explained, "She’s just a nurse from the hospital. Claimed she’d made extra dumplings and wanted to give me some. I refused."

    He eyed Su He anxiously, afraid she might misunderstand and think he had something going on with the nurse.

    Hearing his words, Su He didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she turned her gaze to Zhu Yurong.

    So—

    It was her.

    It clicked for Su He. No wonder this woman had been so eager to befriend the original host—it was all a calculated move!

    Moreover, the original host’s gambling addiction had been fueled by this woman introducing her to bad influences and taking her to casinos.

    So, all along, this woman’s real target had been Fu Tinghua. Everything she did to Su He was just a means to her end.

    Fu Tinghua, ah Fu Tinghua, your damnable admirers really destroyed someone.

    At this thought, Su He’s once-smiling face instantly turned cold.

    Though she knew it wasn’t Fu Tinghua’s fault—after all, being handsome wasn’t a crime—she couldn’t help but direct her anger at him.

    She replied indifferently, "Oh? Really? That little nurse seems quite devoted to you."

    She smirked coldly, but Fu Tinghua could see the ice in her gaze.

    He didn’t understand why Su He had suddenly turned hostile, but fearing her misunderstanding, he insisted, "There’s nothing between us. Really."

    Seeing the standoffish Dr. Fu kowtowing in front of this woman, Zhu Yurong’s face contorted with rage.

    She steadied her breathing, then smiled at Su He and asked, "And you are? Do you even know who Dr. Fu is? How dare you speak to him like that?"

    Her tone was full of fake outrage on Fu Tinghua’s behalf.

    If it were any other man, they’d eat it up. But Fu Tinghua only scowled at her transparent ploy.

    Just as he was about to speak, Su He responded instead.

    "Oh? You don’t know who I am?" Su He asked Zhu Yurong with a saccharine smile.

    Her voice did sound somewhat familiar, but Zhu Yurong drew a blank on where she’d heard it.

    It never crossed her mind that this woman could be Su He—after all, Su He had been a dumpy mess, while the woman before her was radiant enough to make her seethe.

    "What kind of husband-stealing floozy are you? Don’t you know Dr. Fu is already married?" Zhu Yurong snapped, posturing as the wronged party while painting Su He as the marriage-wrecking hussy.

    "I should be asking you that," Su He said coldly. "Don’t you know—Fu Tinghua is married? Throwing yourself at a married man, where’s your self-respect?"

    "I—"

    Just as Zhu Yurong was about to fire back, two children suddenly rushed out of the house and clung to Su He’s legs, one after the other, calling out “Mom.”

    She naturally recognized Dr. Fu’s twins. Seeing them surrounding Su He and calling her “Mom,” a thought struck Zhu Yurong.

    She carefully examined the face of the woman not far away, and the more she recognized it, the more familiar it seemed. Instantly, it merged with the memory of that fat, ugly, stupid woman.

    “You... you’re... you’re Su He,” Zhu Yurong gasped, her voice shaking.

    “Yes, long time no see,” Su He raised her head and beamed at Zhu Yurong.

    Remembering the things she had previously involved Su He in, Zhu Yurong panicked. She was terrified that Su He would expose her in front of Dr. Fu.

    For someone with ill intentions who had approached his wife, Dr. Fu would surely not allow her to stay in the hospital any longer.

    At this thought, Zhu Yurong’s face turned deathly pale with fear.
