Chapter 167: Who told you to molest him?
Meeting Ye Rufeng's questioning gaze, Bai Zhi looked at him and said firmly, "Grandpa, I didn't lie to you. My uncle really promised to provide us with those medicinal herbs, but he's quite busy, so we need to pick them up ourselves."
Bai Zhi smiled and said to herself, "I've thought of everything. I'll have Lu Ye drive over to pick it up tomorrow morning. There's not much cargo, only fifty pounds of each item, which will fit perfectly in the car."
Bai Zhi had arranged everything perfectly, and Ye Tiandong seemed to be cooperating. Ye Rufeng, who hadn't said anything before, suddenly asked, "I heard that your aunt is pregnant? When will she give birth?"
Upon hearing Ye Rufeng's words, Bai Zhi's expression was somewhat complicated.
I'm torn.
I don't know how to answer this question.
Although the father and son did not have any contact, Ye Tiandong's child was also Ye Rufeng's grandson.
This is a fact that can never be changed.
If the child in Li Li's belly truly belongs to the Ye family, then she will surely happily tell her maternal grandfather about the child's condition.
but........
That child wasn't Ye Tiandong's at all.
Ye Tiandong only learned this cruel truth when his child was several years old in his previous life.
With her by my side, I will never let her uncle be kept in the dark and become a father unknowingly.
Bai Zhi said calmly, "She is pregnant."
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, Ye Rufeng's weathered eyes instantly lit up.
"Did you take her pulse? How is she? Are you and the baby both doing well?"
"Good."
Bai Zhi didn't know how to continue the topic, so she got up and said, "Grandpa, I'll go help Lu Ye tidy up the house first."
After saying that, she slipped out of the hall.
Her back was to Ye Rufeng, her expression extremely complex.
She simply didn't have the courage to tell her grandfather about this shameful thing.
The old man must have been full of anticipation for the baby in Li Li's belly.
He may have been immersed in the joy of becoming a grandfather countless times.
She couldn't bring herself to cruelly tell him that the child in Li Li's belly didn't belong to the Ye family.
Moreover, her uncle is still completely unaware of the situation.
...
Lu Ye had already laid out a mattress and sheets on the large wooden board and tried lying down on it.
The wooden planks creaked and groaned.
Bai Zhi looked at his tall and imposing figure, squeezed onto the wooden plank that was only one meter wide, with a strange expression.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
These conditions are far too harsh.
Inside the house, a pot of herbal medicine was still simmering on a honeycomb briquette stove.
She touched her nose and said, "I was too busy today to do it. I'll book a bed tomorrow morning, and you can make do for tonight."
When Lu Ye saw Bai Zhi come in, he sat up and smiled, "Actually, it's fine not to buy a bed. It's nice to sleep here."
"Come on, let's do acupuncture."
Bai Zhi took out silver needles and had Lu Ye sit on the wooden bed.
Lu Ye naturally took off his clothes and sat down cross-legged.
Bai Zhi began to perform acupuncture on him.
Acupuncture needles were inserted into several important acupoints from the ears to the calves.
Then Bai Zhi stirred the medicinal soup in the casserole.
The stove fire was too strong, so she covered the vent with a lid.
Then he sat on a bench and waited for the needle to be inserted.
At that moment, Ye Rufeng strolled in.
When Lu Ye saw Ye Rufeng, he instinctively sat up straight and called out "Grandpa".
Ye Rufeng glanced at the silver needles on Lu Ye's body, gave a faint "hmm," and gestured for him not to move.
Bai Zhi gave the only stool in the room to Ye Rufeng, saying, "Grandpa, please sit down."
She stood beside Lu Ye.
Ye Rufeng sat down and observed the acupuncture points on Lu Ye's body.
They would also "discuss" with Bai Zhi why these acupoints should be needled.
Bai Zhi answered each question one by one, and then cautiously asked, "Grandpa, am I right?"
Ye Rufeng nodded with a stern face, "That's right."
"How are you feeling now? Is there anything bothering you?"
Ye Rufeng looked at Lu Ye and asked, "Do you think that if you stop these treatments, your body will still be as irritable, uncomfortable, and unable to control your emotions as before?"
Lu Ye spoke with a solemn expression, “Grandpa, some time ago, when I was sleeping at night, I would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and feel a crawling sensation on my body, but it was generally bearable.”
“Yes, that means the drug toxins in your body haven’t been completely eliminated yet, and you need to continue treatment.” Ye Rufeng’s gaze softened as she looked at Lu Ye, encouraging him, “You must take this problem seriously and not slack off. You must listen to Xiao Zhi and follow the treatment plan. You must not give up halfway, otherwise it will easily rebound.”
Lu Ye replied, "Grandpa, I will listen to Xiaobai and strictly follow the doctor's orders."
"Okay, you can continue."
Ye Rufeng put his hands behind his back, inspected the area for a while, and then left.
As soon as he left, Lu Ye, who was sitting on the bed receiving treatment, instantly relaxed.
"Why are you so nervous?" Bai Zhi was about to give him acupuncture when she laughed, "My grandfather doesn't eat you. He's such a kind old man, why are you so scared!"
"Kind?" Lu Ye looked at her strangely. "Are you sure he's kind to me?"
"Who gave you permission to molest someone?"
Bai Zhi glanced at him and said in a cool tone, "He's already being kind by not kicking you out, and you still dare to complain about him."
Lu Ye. "..."
“This isn’t my fault.” He leaned forward slightly, getting closer to her, his tone ambiguous. “It’s all because I wanted you to help me stop the itch so badly.”
"Get lost." Bai Zhi glared at him, warning fiercely, "If you keep talking nonsense, I can't guarantee where the silver needle in my hand will stick."
The man who had been all smiles just moments before suddenly became docile.
When the acupuncture session ended, the herbal medicine was also ready to be brewed on the stove.
Bai Zhi poured him half a bowl of medicine and handed it to him.
Lu Ye frowned as he looked at the dark, murky medicine.
After taking this medicine for so long, he feels nauseous just looking at it now.
He had no choice but to drink it in order to cure his illness.
After finishing his medicine, he held the bowl and looked at Bai Zhi, "Xiao Bai, could you prepare some candy for me tomorrow?"
He always remembered the first time she appeared at the hospital, and the candy she put in his mouth—it was so sweet.
He, who never eats sweets, has fallen in love with sugar starting today.
Faced with the man's pitiful expression, Bai Zhi's heart softened completely. She took the bowl of medicine from his hand and gently comforted him, "Okay, I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
After taking the medicine, Lu Ye then busied himself applying powder to the scar on his chest.
"This day was spent entirely dealing with medicine."
Bai Zhi felt a pang of sadness upon hearing his sigh and seeing the scar on his chest.
Thinking of his fate in his previous life, she felt even more sorry for this man.
Although he is currently suffering a lot in terms of treatment.
Fortunately, the pain subsided and his life was saved.
Bai Zhi was in a daze when someone grabbed her hand as she was hanging by her side. "Xiao Bai, I need help."
