Two people had arrived. One was Cao Zhengming, the dean of Beijing First Hospital. Su Qing had met him before when he came to visit Li Wan during her hospitalization.
"Dean Cao," Su Qing said with a smile, greeting him first.
"Ah, Qingqing." Cao Zhengming smiled and nodded at Su Qing, then turned to Mr. and Mrs. Li with a laugh. "My esteemed Chiefs, I seem to have arrived right at dinnertime. I hope you won't mind the intrusion."
Mr. Li laughed. "Mind you? Not at all. We've made plenty of food today. Come, eat with us."
Cao Zhengming chuckled. "Alright then, we'll take you up on that."
Su Qing could see that Cao Zhengming was quite agitated, though he was clearly trying his best to suppress his excitement.
The man with Cao Zhengming also greeted Mr. and Mrs. Li with a smile, his gaze fixed intently on Mrs. Li as he sat down at the table beside the dean.
