Chapter 166: The child isn't the uncle's?
When Bai Zhi mentioned the age issue, Ye Tiandong smiled and said, "You child, you speak so tactfully, are you afraid of hurting my self-esteem?"
Ye Tiandong replied, "Your aunt is eight years younger than me; she's twenty-six this year."
"Oh." Bai Zhi nodded.
"You met at a dinner party?" Bai Zhi smiled and said casually, "My aunt is quite capable; she managed to get to your boss's dinner table."
Ye Tiandong explained,
“Her brother was also doing some small business at the time, so he had connections with some of our friends, but he didn’t make it big later.”
Upon hearing Ye Tiandong's explanation, Bai Zhi understood completely.
Her uncle was probably set up by those two scoundrels.
However, he is still completely unaware of the truth.
At this point, how should she remind him?
If Ye Tiandong were to rashly say that the child in Li Li's belly wasn't his, he would probably think she was crazy.
In this day and age, there is no amniocentesis for paternity testing.
That Li Bin is clearly not a simple character.
Furthermore, she could tell that Ye Tiandong and Li Li had a very good relationship.
At least her uncle doted on Li Li.
Therefore, if she wants to expose this matter, she must have pictures and evidence, and it would be best if Ye Tiandong himself would realize it, have doubts, and seek the answer himself.
Otherwise, whatever others say will be of no use.
He couldn't believe it.
Moreover, this involves human ethics and morality.
"By the way, Uncle, I remember you also run a medicinal herb business. I urgently need three medicinal herbs. Could you please help me out?" Bai Zhi looked at him, clasping her hands together in a sincere plea for help.
What do you need the medicinal herbs for?
"Anyway, it's needed, for saving lives. Uncle, could you please help me?" Bai Zhi asked earnestly. "I'll pay the market price."
Ye Tiandong naturally knew that Bai Zhi needed medicinal herbs, not just for her own personal use.
But when his niece asked him for help for the first time, even though he knew the inside story, he still couldn't refuse.
He didn't want to disappoint his niece.
"Okay, when do you need it? Just contact me."
Bai Zhi was overjoyed to hear this, "Tomorrow morning, I'll have Lu Ye contact you to pick up the medicinal herbs."
Ye Tiandong nodded, "Okay."
"Uncle, thank you so much, you're so kind."
Bai Zhi looked grateful, and Ye Tiandong smiled when he saw the smile on his niece's face.
After chatting for a while, Bai Zhi finally couldn't hold back and said with a serious expression before leaving, "Uncle, there is something else I must clarify."
Ye Tiandong looked at her and smiled, "What is it? Go ahead and say it."
"My medical skills are absolutely fine, and I didn't make a mistake in diagnosing my aunt."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ye Tiandong's expression changed slightly. "Xiao Zhi, what do you mean by that?"
“I am not trying to sow discord between you; I am only speaking with rigorous medical expertise.”
Bai Zhi looked at Ye Tiandong, her tone full of meaning.
"Uncle, I believe you can handle all the problems calmly and composedly."
After speaking, she said goodbye to Ye Tiandong and got into Lu Ye's car.
Although it was abrupt, she had solid evidence and knew whose child Li Li was carrying, so she didn't want to beat around the bush.
She believed that her uncle was a smart man, and that her words today would surely make him suspicious.
He was a cautious man and wouldn't suspect Li Li based solely on her words.
But we will definitely look for evidence.
Ye Tiandong stood there, his expression dark and gloomy.
After getting into the car, Lu Ye glanced at Bai Zhi and asked bluntly, "Do you suspect that your aunt is carrying someone else's child?"
Bai Zhi was not surprised by Lu Ye's accurate guess.
After all, she had made it so obvious.
This is not an implication, but an explicit statement.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Ye continued to guess, "Do you suspect it's her brother's?"
Bai Zhi, "!!!"
"Do you know them? Why do you have such doubts?" Lu Ye drove slowly, looking at her intently and asking the question.
This concerns ethics and morality, and cannot be taken for granted.
"You've misunderstood. I haven't suspected anyone."
Bai Zhi made an excuse, saying, "I just wanted to tell my uncle that I'm very accurate at taking pulses, and I won't allow anyone to doubt my medical skills."
Bai Zhi clearly didn't want to continue the topic, and Lu Ye wisely refrained from further conversation.
But he could sense from today's meal that Bai Zhi must have known something before taking his pulse.
And that aunt also knew that Bai Zhi knew something.
Therefore, she was very flustered when facing Bai Zhi.
Thinking of this, Lu Ye couldn't help but glance at his girlfriend again.
She... is a mysterious girl.
It's like they know everything.
When the two returned to Ye Rufeng's courtyard, Ye Rufeng was giving Zhou Lin a lesson.
Zhou Lin stood straight in front of Ye Rufeng, her fair face showing intense focus as she listened attentively to the lecture.
Although Ye Rufeng was strict, he was more serious about medical matters than anyone else.
Bai Zhi heard them lecturing from the courtyard, so she pulled Lu Ye along instead of going to the main hall.
Instead, they went to the kitchen.
The kitchen looked exactly as they had cleaned it before, not like a place where they had cooked.
It seems these two went out to eat tonight.
Ye Rufeng closed the medical book. "Alright, that's all for today. Tonight, organize what we just discussed and write prescriptions for various symptoms of gout patients."
"Huh? A prescription?"
Zhou Lin never expected that her first lesson would be about writing prescriptions.
Her hands trembled with nervousness.
"Otherwise what? You want to learn all the medicinal herbs and memorize their names again?"
Zhou Lin chuckled, "No, I don't want to at all."
She knows the names and effects of all the medicinal herbs.
The foundation is very solid.
"Go."
Zhou Lin came out carrying a medical book. Seeing Bai Zhi, she greeted her with a smile. "Sister Bai Zhi, you're back?"
"Um,"
Bai Zhi asked, "How's your learning going?"
Although Zhou Lin felt pressured, she was also full of confidence. "It's great. Grandpa Ye assigned me some homework, and I'm going to finish it now."
Bai Zhi patted her shoulder and smiled, "Okay, go ahead."
Lu Ye was tidying up the empty house, planning to make a makeshift bed on the floor for himself later.
I absolutely cannot sleep with my maternal grandfather anymore.
He didn't know what he would do after he fell asleep.
Bai Zhi walked into the hall, and Ye Rufeng glanced at her indifferently.
He didn't say anything.
"Grandpa, we're back."
"Oh." Ye Rufeng replied indifferently, showing no concern whatsoever about whether they returned or not.
"My uncle's restaurant is really big; it must be one of the top restaurants in Bincheng."
Bai Zhi sat in the chair, very confident in Ye Tiandong's abilities, "My uncle really has a business mind. He not only runs a restaurant, but also deals in medicinal herbs."
"By the way, aren't we short of a few medicinal herbs? I told my uncle, and he'll provide them for us tomorrow morning."
Bai Zhi's words finally made Ye Rufeng raise his eyes.
