Chapter 495: Heading to the Army
How could Ye Tiandong be with Lu Hai?
Still coming to the dance hall?
Is this also for entertainment?
Lu Ya made quite a commotion just now; Lu Hai must have seen it, right?
He didn't even come to protect his sister.
Xie Zheng knew that the brother and sister had never gotten along, especially Lu Hai, who had always disliked Lu Ya.
But she's my sister. I can bully her and scold her, but I absolutely cannot let her suffer from outsiders.
Xie Zheng thought to himself, "Perhaps the light was too dim just now, and he didn't see Lu Ya?"
Otherwise, they wouldn't stand idly by.
Outside the dance hall, Lu Hai offered to take Ye Tiandong home, but Ye Tiandong politely declined.
Ye Tiandong suddenly became distant, saying, "Boss Lu, I'll just take a taxi."
After speaking, he walked to the roadside and hailed a taxi.
Lu Hai tried to call out to him, but Ye Tiandong got into the car without turning around.
He stared at the departing taxi, filled with doubt.
The two had a pleasant conversation during their meal and reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation.
Ye Tiandong's sudden change in attitude made Lu Hai feel extremely uneasy.
He had to go home by himself.
The next morning, Grandpa Lu originally wanted his family to go and see Bai Zhi off.
Bai Zhi firmly refused.
After finishing breakfast, Bai Zhi neatly picked up her bag and prepared to leave. "Grandpa, just let Lu Hai drive me to the station. You don't need to see me off. Otherwise, we'll all be very sad when we get to the station."
The train station is the place where people part ways the most.
"I'll go with Lu Hai." Lu Zheng'an took the day off this morning specifically to see Bai Zhi off.
Grandpa Lu could only stop there. "Alright, you go with Xiao Hai."
Xie Yun and Wang Shufen watched Bai Zhi get into the car, and Wang Shufen even shed tears of reluctance.
This time, I'm truly reluctant to part ways.
She couldn't help but recall the scene when Bai Zhi first arrived at the Lu family.
At that time, she looked down at the country girl, her mind filled with thoughts of how to push her out and make room for her niece.
After so many things happened, she had long developed a familial affection for Bai Zhi, her niece-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, it's really hard to see Xiaozhi leave so suddenly."
"I'll be back in a while."
"I doubt it. If Lu Ye doesn't change careers, the chances of her coming back are slim."
She seemed to have overheard Bai Zhi chatting with someone before, saying that she was going to open a clinic near the military base.
From now on, it seems they will be the only ones visiting them.
Wang Shufen thought to herself that next spring, after she finished her medicine, she would have to take the train to find Bai Zhi to see her again.
Upon hearing Wang Shufen's words, Xie Yun's heart also grew heavy.
When Ye Tiandong arrived at the train station, he was actually waiting for him in the station square.
Bai Zhi spotted him immediately.
She ran over, overjoyed, "Uncle, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come?"
Ye Tiandong said, "I couldn't sleep this morning, and I felt uneasy if I didn't see you off."
Ye Tiandong looked at Bai Zhi, his eyes filled with deep reluctance. "Xiao Zhi, take good care of yourself when you get there. Call me if anything happens."
Bai Zhi gave Ye Tiandong a hug, "I understand, Uncle."
Lu Zheng'an and Lu Hai both came over to greet Ye Tiandong, but Ye Tiandong was in a bad mood and only nodded slightly.
When it was almost time, Bai Zhi was about to enter the station when he said, "Everyone, don't see me off. I can go in by myself."
Lu Zheng'an insisted on escorting her to the platform, and had already bought a platform ticket.
"Alright, then let your father-in-law take you in."
Ye Tiandong was heartbroken and didn't want to follow her onto the platform, which would only add to her sorrow.
"Goodbye, Uncle." Bai Zhi waved to them. "Goodbye, Lu Hai."
Take care on your journey.
Ye Tiandong and Lu Hai stood there, watching them enter the waiting room. Lu Hai smiled and said to Ye Tiandong, "Uncle, let's go sit over there."
Ye Tiandong's attitude was distant and indifferent. "No need, I have to go."
"Mr. Ye, what's wrong? Is something the matter?" Lu Hai's doubts deepened.
Ye Tiandong looked at him and said, "Mr. Lu, let me be frank, I don't plan to cooperate with you anymore."
"Why?" Upon hearing this, Lu Hai's expression instantly turned anxious, and he blocked Ye Tiandong's path.
Yesterday we had all planned out a grand blueprint, so why did you change your mind today?
Ye Tiandong said, "I have thought about it for a long time, and you may not be suitable to cooperate with me."
"You have to give me a reason." Why make so many plans with him if we're not a good fit?
"Then I'll be frank. Mr. Lu is exceptionally capable and calm in the face of adversity, but in my opinion, he's a bit too cold-blooded."
Ye Tiandong's expression was somber as he stated his opinion, "You can stand by and watch your own sister being harassed. I'm not sure if you'll be able to share the burden and face any challenges I might face at work in the future."
Upon hearing Ye Tiandong's words, Lu Hai's eyes flickered uncomfortably, clearly showing his guilty conscience.
He didn't expect that Ye Tiandong would recognize Lu Ya last night.
He thought Ye Tiandong had never met Lu Ya before.
Actually, he did have his own selfish motives last night, and he was also concerned about saving face for the Lu family.
The reason she didn't want to help Lu Ya out of a predicament in front of Ye Tiandong was largely because she didn't want Ye Tiandong to know that her sister worked at a dance hall.
She didn't want him to see her sister's behavior.
Of course, he didn't want Lu Ya to see him either.
He also planned to make that brat suffer a bit more outside.
Lu Hai hurriedly spoke up, "Uncle, please let me explain."
Ye Tiandong raised his hand, signaling him to stop. "No need to explain, let's leave it at that."
"Also, don't call me uncle anymore, we're not close."
After Ye Tiandong finished speaking, he quickly left.
Lu Hai slapped his forehead in frustration.
how so?
That brat Lu Ya is truly his nemesis.
A perfectly good business was ruined by her.
Even running away from home won't bring peace.
Lu Zheng'an saw Bai Zhi off to the train, found her sleeper berth, and after she put her luggage away, he gave her some more instructions.
Bai Zhi said with a smile, "Dad, I'm all settled in. Please get out of the car soon, it's about to leave."
"Okay, Xiaozhi, I'll be going now. Be careful in the car, and call home if anything happens."
Lu Zheng'an gave many instructions before reluctantly getting off the car.
"Okay." Bai Zhi put down her luggage and lay down on the bed.
Luckily, I bought a lower bunk, which is more convenient.
She deposited all her money into a savings account, which she kept in her underwear pocket. She also kept her mobile phone in the inside pocket of her long cotton coat to prevent it from ringing in the car and attracting the attention of bad guys; she deliberately turned it off.
I only had a few dozen yuan in change in my hand to save for the bus fare.
So she could lie there peacefully, but of course, she couldn't fall asleep.
After Lu Zheng'an came out, Lu Hai took him home.
When I got home, I saw that Xie Zheng was there again.
He just came with his grandparents yesterday afternoon, why is he here again today?
This person is really idle.
Grandpa Lu was feeling down because Bai Zhi left home, so he went back to his room to rest.
As soon as Lu Zheng'an got home, he grabbed his briefcase and said he had to go to his office to take care of some things and would be back later.
Xie Yun had already gone to work.
At this moment, only Wang Shufen and Xie Zheng were sitting and chatting in the living room.
Ye Tiandong terminated his cooperation agreement with Lu Hai, leaving Lu Hai quite depressed. He casually greeted Xie Zheng.
He glanced at his mother and Xie Zheng with a strange expression. How could these two possibly have a conversation?
