Yuanjing died in a zombie siege during the apocalypse. To gain a chance at rebirth and rewrite his life,
Yuanjing agreed when the demon—oh, no, the system—offered him the opportunity.
...Chapter 318
As a result of his departure, Yuan Jing was unable to attend the Bai family's family gathering the next day, because the researchers in the laboratory had a lot of questions and didn't want to let him go. Even if Boss Bai came to pick him up in person, they would not let him go. They were so overbearing.
Boss Bai had a terrible headache. He rushed to the Bai family early the next morning and met Yan Changjiang and his wife, who were used to getting up early. The couple were very happy this morning because they were going to the Imperial University to see Jing Ge'er. Maybe they could give Jing Ge'er a surprise. Then they saw Boss Bai appear.
Yang Shu and Yan Changjiang were a little scared when they saw Boss Bai, so they called him "Big Brother" honestly.
The more troubled Boss Bai felt, the more serious his expression became: "Sit down, I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Yan Changjiang pulled Yang Shu to sit obediently opposite Boss Bai. They had met with all the members of the Bai family last night, except Boss Bai who didn't show up at first, but he rushed back after finishing his work.
In the past, they had seen too many city people looking down on country people, but when they came to the Bai family, this problem did not arise. This also made Yan Changjiang realize that the Bai family was trying hard to integrate them into the family and treated them as their own family, which Yan Changjiang could not find any fault with.
Boss Bai rubbed his face and said, "I can't go to the Imperial University to see Yuan Jing today."
"Why? Is there something wrong with Jing Ge'er? It's okay for us." Yang Shu waved his hand quickly.
"That's not the case. At about nine o'clock last night, the military district sent someone to pick up General Yuan Jing," Boss Bai quickly clarified when he saw Yan Changjiang and Yang Shu both turned pale. "It's because Yuan Jing developed two very important instruments that are of great significance to our country. But after the instruments were sent, there were many problems in the laboratory that we couldn't figure out, so we invited Yuan Jing, who developed these two instruments, to come over. I wanted to pick him up today, but the researchers in the laboratory treated Yuan Jing as a treasure and refused to let him go."
"Really? Didn't Jing Ge'er make a mistake and be taken away?"
"Of course! Big brother won't lie to you. Yuan Jing is very remarkable, but this research may not be made public now, so the recognition of Yuan Jing may only be private."
Yan Changjiang and Yang Shu looked at each other, both with surprise and pride in their eyes, then looked at Boss Bai and nodded: "We understand, confidentiality is important, we know the importance of it."
Other members of the Bai family also found out about it one after another. They first blamed Boss Bai, because he was the one responsible for this matter. Then they felt the same as Yang Shu and the others, surprised and proud. This was the child of their Bai family, and he had achieved such a great success on his own without relying on the Bai family.
It doesn’t matter what achievements Yuan Jing has made. What’s important is that they know that the country attaches great importance to this. Later, Mr. Bai learned a little news through some channels. He was shocked but also extremely relieved.
The Bai family arranged a full schedule for Yang Shu and his wife. The first stop was to take them to visit the Imperial University, and also to visit Yuan Jing's dormitory. Although he was not there in person, Yang Shu and his wife felt very familiar with his daily necessities after seeing them. It was a pity that they couldn't meet Jing Ge'er. They didn't know how many days they would have to stay in the laboratory, and they couldn't stay in the imperial capital forever.
Boss Bai finally thought of a solution, which was of course proposed by Boss Seven. He took Yang Shu and his wife to the heavily guarded military area. When Yuan Jing was resting, he called him out of the laboratory and met with Yang Shu and his wife, which somewhat comforted the couple's feelings of missing their child.
When they met, the family of three discussed the issue of recognizing relatives. Yuan Jing knew his father's attitude when he came to the imperial capital with the Bai family. It was obvious that they accepted the Bai family. Yuan Jing of course supported them with both hands. After getting to know them, he did not have a bad impression of the Bai family. Yuan Jing did not think that Yang Shu, who focused on him and his father, was no longer old enough to need love from his father and father.
"Father, I have already met the Bai family before you came. They treated me very well, so you don't have to worry about my attitude. No matter what happens, I and father will stand behind you. Father, am I right?"
Yuan Jing winked at Yan Changjiang while speaking, which made Yan Changjiang laugh. However, he nodded to Yang Shu seriously and said, "Brother Jing is right. We are here for you."
Yang Shu glared at them and said, "Why should you worry about me? Don't you see how old I am? If you tell others about it, they will laugh at me."
Jing Ge'er's words also made Yang Shu completely relieved. The attitude of the Bai family did make him enjoy the long-lost family affection, which was not bad and was helpful to Jing Ge'er.
Knowing that Yuan Jing was fine and was under state protection, Yang Shu and his wife had nothing to worry about. They were taken to various scenic spots in the imperial capital by the brothers and nephews of the Bai family. They even climbed the Great Wall once, which really broadened their horizons and allowed them to see the world. After returning, they rested for a few days and accompanied their father Bai. Yang Shu took the initiative to propose returning to Yanjia Village.
No matter how prosperous and wonderful the imperial capital is, it is not one's home. While enjoying the good food and drink here, one can't help but worry about whether the chickens at home are fed on time, how many eggs they have laid, and whether the pigs in the pigsty are sick. Here they don't have to do anything, and it feels like their bones will rust after staying here for too long.
He and Yan Changjiang had discussed that they would set aside some time every year to come to the imperial capital to visit Yuan Jing and spend time with the old man.
When Yang Shu proposed to go back, Bai Dad was not surprised at all. This child was completely different from Bai Qiumin, which made him feel even more distressed: "Okay, okay, actually, Dad and your father have something to entrust to you and Changjiang. Before leaving Yanjia Village, I asked your seventh brother to enclose a piece of land and plan to build a house there. Occasionally, your father and I will go there to live for a few days. I felt that the air in the village was better than that in the imperial capital. Let's just live there in our old age."
"So, when the time comes, we'll find someone to build the house and let Changjiang look after it for us, so your seventh brother doesn't have to run back and forth. But if you need to run errands for anything, tell your seventh brother. He's the only one in our family who was born in the year of the monkey. He's restless all day long and likes to run around. I don't understand what business he's running."
Yang Shu's eyes were red. His father really wanted to compensate him. Otherwise, why would he go to Yanjia Village when he could live well in the capital? Who doesn't want to be a city dweller these days? He nodded and said, "Changjiang and I will take care of it. When the house is built, we will clean it up together and wait for father, father, brothers, nephews and so on to stay for a while."
"Oh, I'll definitely go."
After saying goodbye to Yuan Jing who was still in the laboratory, Yan Changjiang and Yang Shu left the imperial capital with the farewell of the Bai family. They had left in a hurry and did not pack anything, so when they left, they were carrying a lot of bags. Several brothers of the Bai family had prepared a gift for Yang Shu and his wife. In addition, Bai's father looked like he wanted to empty out the entire house. If Bai Qiuxing had not accompanied them, the couple would not have been able to take those packages away.
Yang Shu was overwhelmed with gifts, but at the same time he felt a little guilty, so he decided to prepare some more local specialties from his hometown when he got home and send some to his father and several brothers and sisters in the imperial capital.
As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Yang Shu left, Mr. Bai's face darkened and he said to the brothers of the Bai family, "Call Bai Qiumin back. I want to see what he has to say."
In fact, Bai Qiumin had returned to the capital a few days ago. He wanted to use the Bai family's name to get the person out, but it didn't work. He could only take his youngest son back to the capital. He was panicked and full of resentment. Did he call his father "father" for decades in vain? Is blood relationship so important that a Yang Shu, who he had only known for a few days, could climb over his head?
In order to prevent Bai Qiumin from disturbing Mr. and Mrs. Yang Shu, the Bai family deliberately kept Bai Qiumin and her family out, and they did not deal with Bai Qiumin's affairs until Mr. and Mrs. Yang Shu left the imperial capital.
Everyone in the Bai family knows very well that in this child-swapping incident, the biggest victim is Yang Shu, and the biggest beneficiaries are Bai Qiumin and the Yang family behind him. Even Bai's father is a victim in this incident.
So what reason did Bai Qiumin have to complain? This made the brothers of the Bai family laugh. If Bai Qiumin knew nothing, it would be excusable, but the key point is that he already knew his life experience, and he still shamelessly occupied the position that belonged to the second brother.
Bai Qiumin has not been as confident these days as he was when he first came back, because his story has spread, and he has become the subject of gossip wherever he goes. Hearing others say that he is a fake, he got angry and argued with others, but who listened to him? They just rolled their eyes and turned away, thinking that he was a brother of the Bai family and could show off his power?
His husband blamed him, and his children also blamed him. Since he had kept it a secret for so many years, why didn't he do more thorough work to prevent the incident from being exposed? These stakeholders blamed Bai Qiumin, thinking that it was because he and the Yang family were too careless that Yang Shu had the opportunity to appear in front of the Bai family.
There are many ways to prevent Yang Shu from ever appearing in front of the Bai family, but unfortunately both the Yang family and Bai Qiumin are stupid.
The only way now is to do everything possible to cling to the legs of the two elders of the Bai family. If the Bai family is completely expelled, how can the Cheng family and Bai Qiumin live in the imperial capital in the future? Now they have become a joke of other people's families.
After receiving the call, Bai Qiumin rushed to the Bai family. He brought the children with him, hoping that the two elders would be soft-hearted to him again for the sake of the children. However, the security department only let him pass. This made Cheng Yuan, who came with him, feel very disappointed. He blamed Bai Qiumin and the Yang family even more. Look at what stupid things they did.
In the past, he felt that the brothers of the Bai family looked down on him, so he urged Bai Qiumin to ask for benefits from the Bai family. But now he finds that he can't even climb up the big tree of the Bai family. How can he any longer care about it? He is just panicking.
Bai Qiumin had no choice but to go in alone. When he entered the Bai family, he didn't expect that except for the two elders, several brothers of the Bai family were there, which looked like a trial in court. Especially the cold and serious eldest brother Bai, which made Bai Qiumin lose a lot of courage.
"Father, Dad, do you really not want me?" Bai Qiumin burst into tears. This time she was truly sad, unlike before when she only cried falsely.
