Chapter 105: Fate Uncertain
As Yang Li and Gu Jingming were about to leave, Yang Li suddenly looked at the woman standing in the corner and said, "Lu Shan, please come out for a moment."
Lu Shan was surprised that Yang Li would suddenly call her.
She lowered her eyes and had no choice but to follow him out.
As soon as she stepped outside, Yang Li raised her hand and slapped Lu Shan across the face.
"You stopped us from letting Dr. Xiaobai treat Niu Niu, saying she didn't know how to treat illnesses. But the truth is, my Niu Niu's condition has greatly improved now. What do you say to that?"
Lu Shan was caught off guard, "I..."
Yang Li looked at her with disgust and said bluntly, "You did this on purpose. The men of the Gu family are all gentlemen and won't stoop to your level. I'll play the bad guy."
"Lu Shan, what have we, the Gu family, done to offend you that you would do this to us? Niu Niu's uncle's life is still hanging in the balance because of you. My Niu Niu is sick, and you're interfering. What are you up to?"
Fortunately, we didn't listen to her, and now Niu Niu's condition has greatly improved.
At this moment, Grandpa Lu and Bai Zhi, who had heard the commotion, came out. Grandpa Lu noticed that his granddaughter was covering her face. He looked at them sternly and asked in a serious tone, "Shanshan, what happened?"
Lu Shan sniffed and said evasively, "Grandpa, it's nothing."
"What do you mean 'nothing'? You've been beaten up and you still dare to say nothing'?"
Besides feeling sorry for his granddaughter, Grandpa Lu was mostly shocked.
Lu Shan was not a weak person. After being hit, she not only did not fight back, but even tried to protect the other party.
Yang Li looked at Old Lu with an unfriendly expression and asked, "Grandpa, she's your granddaughter, right?"
"Yes, she is my granddaughter." Old Master Lu stood in front of Lu Shan, protecting his granddaughter behind him.
"You just said... your brother-in-law's fate is unknown because of my Shanshan, what happened?"
Yang Li looked slightly surprised by Old Master Lu's question, then coldly questioned Lu Shan, "Lu Shan, you didn't even tell your family about your affair with my uncle?"
Gu Jingming, who was carrying the medicine, also looked grim.
“Lu Shan, my brother took you to my house to meet my parents. He is convinced that you are his future wife. He once told us that he would never marry you, but you didn’t even tell your family about your relationship.” Gu Jingming, who had been silent until now, spoke in a deep voice.
Yang Li sneered, "You really are a vicious woman. You toyed with his feelings and deceived his honesty. People like you deserve to go to hell."
"I didn't," Lu Shan denied, crying.
Old Master Lu had also overheard the gist of the conversation. He looked at Lu Shan in astonishment and asked her for confirmation, "Shan Shan, what do they mean? You're dating his younger brother?"
Bai Zhi, who came out with Elder Lu, also had a look of amused curiosity.
Is Lu Shan dating Niu Niu's second uncle?
Is Niu Niu's second uncle the handsome man in military uniform she saw in the family photo when she visited the Gu family last time?
She recalled that when she saw the person in the photo, she felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Old Lu is getting old, and his reactions are slower. But he has now figured out the relationships between the people.
These two people are picking up medicine for a child named Niu Niu, so they must be Niu Niu's parents.
So, that means Gu Changgeng's son and daughter-in-law.
Then isn't the younger brother-in-law that this woman mentioned Gu Changgeng's son?
Is Lu Shan dating Gu Changgeng's son?
And it even left the other party's fate unknown?
What exactly happened?
Old Master Lu looked at Lu Shan with a stern face. Lu Shan was sobbing uncontrollably due to her emotional state.
"Old lady, go home and ask her what she did."
After Yang Li finished speaking angrily, she said to Gu Jingming, "Let's go."
Old Master Lu originally planned to wait for Bai Zhi to get off work so they could go out for dinner together, but now he had more important things to do.
Given Lu Shan's condition, she most likely won't be able to eat lunch.
Old Master Lu said softly to Bai Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, I'll have Lu Ye come and accompany you to work later. After get off work, you two can go straight home, okay?"
She politely declined Grandpa Lu's offer, saying, "Grandpa Lu, I have other things to do today, so I won't go to your house yet. We'll all get together after I find my maternal grandfather and come back."
She's leaving Nancheng tomorrow to visit her maternal grandfather, and she'd like to treat Dr. Zhou to dinner tonight. She'll go back later to pack her things.
Since she no longer needs to treat Lu Ye, there's no need for her to stay in that courtyard, especially since Ma Xiaojun is already following her.
Bai Zhi said, "It's hot. Let Dr. Lu accompany you back first. Don't get heatstroke."
"Okay, Xiaozhi, we'll head back now."
Lu Shan was in a bad mood, and Old Master Lu's face also looked unwell. After saying goodbye to Bai Zhi, they left.
...
When the two arrived home, Wang Shufen was sitting on the sofa sighing with a sorrowful expression, while Lu Hai sat next to her saying something.
When Lu Hai saw the old man return with Lu Shan, he was about to greet him, but the old man went straight to his bedroom.
After taking a few steps, he turned back and commanded Lu Shan behind him with a stern expression, "Lu Shan, come in here."
Lu Shan followed closely behind.
Wang Shufen, who had just returned from the hospital with a pained expression, suddenly lit up at the sight of this scene, her swollen face turning into a gossipy one.
"Xiao Hai, what's wrong with your grandpa? It looks like your cousin did something wrong?"
Lu Hai raised an eyebrow, expressing his curiosity. His cousin was a prodigy, an excellent surgeon, with a cool and aloof personality, never showing her emotions. Why did she look like she had made a big mistake today?
Wang Shufen said to Lu Hai, "Xiao Hai, go listen at the door and see what's going on."
Lu Hai rolled his eyes. "Mom, you're in this state, and you still have the mind to worry about others? Go back to your room and rest. I'll call Dad and have him come back to take you to Kyoto for treatment."
Wang Shufen felt unwell all over, with stiff joints and a low-grade fever.
I had originally intended to distract myself from my physical pain by gossiping, but after hearing what my son said, I instantly lost interest in listening to gossip.
He sighed, struggled to his feet from the sofa, and prepared to go back to his room.
She walked stiffly to the door, and, unwilling to give up, reminded Lu Hai again, "Xiao Hai, why don't you go and listen?"
Lu Hai, "!!!"
The Eight Trigrams are more important than fate.
After Lu Shan went inside, Old Master Lu gestured for her to close the door.
"Tell me, what's really going on between you and Gu Changgeng's son? Is he dating someone?"
Lu Shan didn't dare look into her grandfather's eyes, and nodded with her eyes lowered.
"When did this happen? Why didn't you tell your family?" Old Lu asked sternly.
Lu Shan's voice was barely audible, "It happened two years ago."
Old Master Lu continued in a deep voice, "Why did you break up? Where is he now? Gu Changgeng's daughter-in-law said that you caused her brother-in-law's life to be in danger. What exactly does she mean by that?"
“He was in the same regiment as Lu Ye. He was the deputy battalion commander. He was sent on a mission at the end of last year and has been out of contact ever since.”
At this point, Lu Shan's voice trembled as she lost control of her emotions, and she could no longer continue speaking.
"What does this have to do with you?" Old Lu asked, puzzled.
It is perfectly normal for a soldier to go on a mission, so why would his family blame Lu Shan for it?
Lu Shan lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Looking at her spineless appearance, Old Lu sternly ordered, "Speak! You've already been verbally abused, how long are you going to keep hiding this?"
