Chapter 340: Acting

Bai Zhi explained the work in the lab to them in the afternoon and then went home.

As soon as she left the hospital, she saw that familiar, tall figure, just like always.

When Bai Zhi saw him, a smile appeared on her slightly tired face.

She ran towards him.

"Are you tired?" He looked at her gently, raising his hand to tidy her hair, his eyes full of tenderness.

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "A little bit, but I feel quite fulfilled."

It is a very happy thing to shine in your field of expertise.

Lu Ye took her hand. "Let's go home."

Lu Ye opened the car door for her and waited for her to get in before walking around to the driver's side to get in himself.

"Have my cousins ​​arrived? Where is my uncle?" Bai Zhi asked.

Lu Ye replied, "I don't know. I had some business to take care of this afternoon, so I came to pick you up. I haven't gone back yet."

Bai Zhi looked slightly surprised upon hearing his words.

Lu Ye hasn't returned to his unit yet, so why is he still dealing with official business?

Of course, she didn't ask any further questions.

Lu Ye's work is classified, and she is aware of that.

When the two arrived home, Ye Jingsong and his family had already arrived.

However, Ye Tiandong and Ye Qingbai were nowhere to be seen.

Not seeing Ye Tiandong made Bai Zhi a little nervous again.

Is my uncle not coming again today?

Or, should we time it precisely?

The kind of person who doesn't interact with her maternal grandfather at all throughout the entire process?

Just as he was thinking this, Ye Jingsong said in a loud voice,

“Your uncle said he ordered food at a restaurant tonight, and it will be delivered soon, so we don’t need to eat out or cook.”

Wang Lan, standing to the side, said somewhat awkwardly, "I arrived early and should have cooked, but we have guests coming today, so I'd better not embarrass myself with my cooking skills."

In Wang Lan's mind, when guests come to the house, it is the women who should cook and entertain them.

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Auntie, it's very convenient to order food from a restaurant, so we don't have to cook."

"When are your parents coming?" Ye Jingsong asked Lu Ye.

Lu Ye replied, "They're all at work; they should come over after get off work."

"good."

Bai Zhi secretly pulled Ye Jingsong aside and whispered, "Uncle, has my uncle come by?"

Bai Zhi was very curious whether Ye Tiandong had come and gone, or if he had never come at all.

"He hasn't arrived yet," Ye Jingsong replied. "He went to order food with your cousin, while your aunt, cousin, and I came over early."

Ye Jinsong said confidently, "Don't worry, he will definitely come today. I spent the whole afternoon trying to persuade him."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Bai Zhi really grew to like her cousin Ye Jingsong more and more.

He is honest, kind, and magnanimous; beneath his seemingly plump body lies a heart full of love.

From his attitude towards his ex-wife to his care for his family, he demonstrated the responsibility and magnanimity that a man should have.

"No need to thank me. We're family, don't be so polite."

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite from now on."

"Uncle, please come inside with my aunt and me."

Bai Zhi noticed that her grandfather was explaining a medical book to Ye Qingchuan, who was sitting there with empty eyes, clearly not listening at all.

But her maternal grandfather spoke with great interest, seemingly wanting to groom Ye Qingchuan.

"Grandpa, I'm going out to buy something."

Bai Zhi used the excuse of going to the store to buy things to pull Lu Ye out the door.

Once outside, she said to Lu Ye, "I'm still worried. Shall we go and meet him? What if Uncle slips away again?"

Looking at her worried face, Lu Ye smiled and said, "Okay, let's go, let's go for a ride on the motorcycle."

Based on Ye Jingsong's description, the two went to the restaurant where they had made a reservation.

It was the same stir-fry restaurant we had eaten at before.

To order, you only need to provide the name of the dish, pay, and the waiter will deliver the food at the designated time; you don't need to pick it up yourself.

They often see waiters weaving through the streets and alleys, one hand holding a bicycle and the other carrying a lunchbox.

Bai Zhi always sighs, "There are talented people in every profession."

After she went in to inquire, she learned that Ye Tiandong and Ye Qingbo had left earlier after ordering their food.

"My uncle isn't here," Bai Zhi said with a worried expression.

"Perhaps my uncle still doesn't want to sit at the same table as my grandfather."

She sighed wearily, "How about we just let it go and not force it for now? We can talk about it after the wedding."

Her advice was probably completely useless.

Ye Tiandong needs to see evidence.

Lu Ye noticed that his wife was always confident and radiant at work, but she would always lose her composure when it came to matters concerning the relationship between her maternal grandfather and uncle.

He understood that she only had her maternal grandfather and uncle as her closest relatives.

She cares about them too much.

Concern leads to confusion.

"Let's go home first."

Lu Ye took her hand, looked at her, and said softly, "Uncle is a normal adult with the ability to think. Since he is unwilling to face it, we can't force him. Let's respect him."

Bai Zhi lowered her eyes in disappointment and replied, "Okay."

Lu Ye rode his motorcycle, carrying Bai Zhi, and headed home.

As they approached the alley entrance, Bai Zhi caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye and hurriedly called out, "Lu Ye, stop the car first."

Upon hearing her words, Lu Ye stopped his motorcycle and asked, "Xiao Bai, what's wrong?"

"I think I saw my uncle and my cousin."

Lu Ye followed Bai Zhi's gaze and saw several figures.

As they approached, Bai Zhi saw the person standing opposite Ye Tiandong, and her eyes brightened slightly.

"Grandpa Zhou, Grandma Zhou."

Grandpa Zhou looked weary and helpless. When he saw Bai Zhi, his voice was full of powerlessness. "Xiao Zhi, I'm really sorry. My wife kept asking to see your grandmother today. I had no choice but to bring her here."

Bai Zhi quickly realized who the "grandmother" Grandma Zhou was talking about was.

Before she could even speak, Grandma Zhou had already quickly walked up to her.

"Wanqing, are you alright?"

When Grandma Zhou saw Bai Zhi, she grabbed her withered hand and looked her up and down with a worried expression on her wrinkled face. "They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Ye warily and pleaded, "Don't wrong Comrade Wanqing. She has no connection with her family. She is already married, and her family's affairs have nothing to do with her."

Then, Grandma Zhou looked at Ye Tiandong, almost crying with anxiety, "Ye Rufeng, say something!"

Ye Tiandong, "!!!"

"Uncle, say something," Bai Zhi mouthed.

Meeting the pleading looks from Bai Zhi and the others, Ye Tiandong coughed lightly, awkwardly playing along with their act.

"Yes, my mother... No, Wanqing has no relation to her family. She is my wife. She has never been back to her family home since she married me. Our family has been doctors for generations. During the war, we treated many soldiers."

Bai Zhi and Grandpa Zhou both breathed a sigh of relief when Ye Tiandong agreed to cooperate.
