Chapter 300: A Mismatched Couple
When Lu Shan entered the dining room and saw so many people, she was slightly taken aback.
However, she soon realized it.
Today is the day Lu Ye and Bai Zhi are getting their marriage certificate, so it's only natural that Ye Qingbai and Xie Zheng would come over for dinner.
Lu Shan looked at her younger brother and sister-in-law and said with a smile, "Congratulations on getting your marriage certificate. You are now officially husband and wife in the law."
Although I saw Bai Zhi at the hospital today, they were both busy with work and had no time to chat about personal matters.
Lu Ye responded, "Thank you, sister."
"Shanshan, sit down and eat."
Looking at his exhausted granddaughter, Old Lu felt a pang of heartache in his eyes.
Lu Shan's work is already very busy, and she simply doesn't have any extra personal time.
In addition, she had worries and was under great psychological pressure, so she always looked very solemn.
As an elder, I really feel sorry for her.
When she's tired, there's not a single person around who cares about her.
Although I have family, there are some emotions that family cannot provide.
In addition, Lu Shan has a cool and aloof personality and likes to keep things to herself.
I basically don't initiate conversations or heart-to-heart talks with them.
Old Lu glanced at Ye Qingbai again.
Through several encounters, he could sense that Ye Qingbai had a cheerful and sunny personality, which complemented Lu Shan perfectly.
"Cousin, are you tired?" Xie Zheng asked with a smile as he looked at her.
Lu Shan glanced at him indifferently, "Not tired."
Xie Zheng sighed, "Not tired? Look how exhausted you look! How could you not be tired?"
It's heartbreaking to see a woman working so hard.
At the same time, he also greatly admired his strong-willed cousin.
She is a young and promising surgeon in the orthopedic department, and her achievements are generally unmatched by men.
Lu Shan glanced at him indifferently, "Since you've figured it out, why bother asking me?"
Lu Shan was starving and didn't care that there were so many people at the table. She quickly ate her rice with her head down.
Ye Qingbai wanted to greet her several times, but he couldn't find any opportunity at all.
Seeing Lu Shan eating intently with her head down, he didn't disturb her.
Everyone else ate normally, but Lu Ya, who seemed preoccupied and had no appetite, stood in stark contrast to Lu Shan.
She had absolutely no appetite.
Her mind was filled with the words Bai Zhi had told her.
How could her brother Bin have other women outside?
They clearly love each other so much; they've been together for almost a year.
But Bai Zhi is not the kind of person who speaks carelessly.
Lu Ya irritably tore at her hair, feeling like her head was about to explode.
Wang Shufen noticed her daughter's actions and was terrified.
The whole family is having a meal, has this brat gone mad?
There are still guests at home.
Ye Qingbai was also at the dinner table.
Wang Shufen hurriedly reached out and nudged Lu Ya's arm, winking and signaling her to calm down and stop acting crazy.
Lu Ya simply stood up and said, "I'm full."
She finished speaking in a lifeless tone, then turned and left the restaurant.
Seeing this, Wang Shufen also stood up. She smiled apologetically and explained to everyone, "Xiaoya isn't feeling well today and doesn't have a good appetite, so I'm going to check on her."
After Wang Shufen finished speaking, she looked at Ye Qingbai and said, "Xiao Ye, don't be shy, eat more."
Ye Qingbai was inexplicably given special attention by Wang Shufen, and he blankly uttered an "oh".
No one else thought much of it, after all, Ye Qingbai was not only Bai Zhi's cousin, but also the grandson of Doctor Ye.
Wang Shufen is currently receiving treatment from Ye Rufeng.
Therefore, it is understandable that he was particularly enthusiastic towards Ye Qingbai.
However, Xie Zheng, who ate very little in order to maintain his weight and figure, took in all of Wang Shufen's behavior at the dinner table.
Today, Aunt Wang was a little too enthusiastic towards Ye Qingbai.
Based on his understanding of Aunt Wang over the years, as a relative of the Lu family, he knew that she would never be so enthusiastic towards someone for no reason.
This auntie is the kind of person who won't get up early for nothing.
Could he have guessed right?
Xie Zheng was so shocked by this realization that his mouth dropped open.
Wang Shufen followed Lu Ya into the room, slammed the door shut, and then looked at her with displeasure, questioning, "What's wrong with you? Who are you giving us such a hard time? Don't you see we have guests? You have no manners at all. What are you supposed to think of us? Can't you leave a good impression?"
"What guests? It's just Xie Zheng and Ye Qingbai, right? They come to my house for a free meal, do you expect me to fawn over them?"
Lu Ya felt a surge of anger whenever Xie Zheng was mentioned.
But she didn't dare offend that spoiled brat.
While eating, she was not only thinking about Li Bin, but she was also uneasy, afraid that Xie Zheng, that big mouth, would tell everyone what happened outside today at the dinner table.
If her family knew about Li Bin, they would definitely break them up.
Lu Ya thought that her most urgent task now was to agree to Li Bin's proposal.
Ask her father to arrange a job for Li Bin at the coal mine.
Once Li Bin achieves success and his father sees his abilities and acknowledges him professionally, then there will be an opportunity to discuss their marriage.
Thinking of this, Lu Ya had an idea in mind.
Seeing that her eyes were darting around, clearly indicating she was holding something in her mind, Wang Shufen asked impatiently, "What are you thinking about now?"
Lu Ya bit her lip and asked, "Mom, I've been taking care of you for so long, when are Dad and the others coming back?"
Wang Shufen got a little angry when she heard the first half of the sentence.
"You're my daughter. I raised you from infancy, and you've only been taking care of me for a short time."
"That's not the point. I'm asking you, when is my dad coming back?"
Lu Ya didn't have the patience to explain further and asked impatiently.
"It should be when your cousin gets married, you and your brother will both come back."
Wang Shufen didn't mind her daughter's rudeness towards her.
Anyway, she gave birth to the child herself, so she has to be tolerant of it.
Although this girl is willful, she's generally acceptable.
At least during the time she is unable to take care of herself, stay at home and look after her, and ask Bai Zhi to plead for her to get medical treatment.
She, as his mother, also saw his filial piety.
"Oh, that'll be soon." Lu Ya breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you asking this?" Wang Shufen said. "I'm much better now. If you want to go to work, you can do so without waiting for your dad to come back."
The old man brought up this issue today.
Let Lu Ya go to work; it's no good for her to stay at home all the time.
To find a good partner, one's own work and other conditions are also very important.
Her daughter's family background is undoubtedly excellent.
But she herself doesn't have a job yet, and she spends her days either at home taking care of her or out hanging out with her friends.
It would be really hard to say if word got out.
Even if Ye Qingbai might have feelings for Lu Ya, young people only care about liking each other and don't care about other external conditions.
Whether the parents will mind is another matter.
Wang Shufen was considering the issue from her own perspective. If her son were to marry an unemployed woman, she would only dress herself up in fancy clothes.
She most likely wouldn't agree to let a girl like that into the house.
Therefore, putting herself in Lu Ya's shoes, she had to ensure that Lu Ya had a stable and respectable job.
Another thing is that my clothing and appearance definitely need to be adjusted.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to get past Doctor Ye.
