Chapter 302: Someone in My Heart
Mr. Lu was very satisfied with Xie Zheng's efforts.
Even his flashy clothes look much better now.
Sure enough, Xie Zheng's mental state returned to normal after he reconciled with Lu Ye.
Sunny and cheerful.
It's no longer as gloomy as it used to be.
However, this kid is so actively trying to bring them together, does he already know something?
Ye Qingbai looked at Lu Shan expectantly, waiting for her to agree to let him accompany her.
Everyone else was also looking at Lu Shan.
Lu Shan didn't want to waste time trying to persuade the old man, so she could only nod.
Then he turned and went out.
Ye Qingbai followed.
After they left, Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun, who hadn't been able to get a word in edgewise, belatedly realized what was going on.
They looked at Old Lu in astonishment, their eyes seeking confirmation.
Old Lu smiled but said nothing.
"Do you think there's a chance for them?" Xie Zheng, not holding back at all, looked at the Lu family with a gossipy expression and asked with a smile.
Old Master Lu coughed twice and said, "Whether it's promising or not, let's not get involved. Let it develop naturally and don't put too much pressure on Shanshan."
"Of course, we should still help her when necessary. Shanshan is not young anymore, and we all know Qingbai very well. Let's all give her our support."
Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun have been worried about Lu Shan's personal life.
At this time, he learned that Ye Qingbai was interested in Lu Shan and wanted to pursue her.
They weren't particularly happy, though.
Is the reason their daughter's personal life remains unresolved because no one is pursuing her?
Of course not.
It depends entirely on her.
She had no intention of having that.
Colleagues from both of their workplaces have been trying to introduce Lu Shan to potential partners for a long time.
All of them were ruthlessly rejected by Lu Shan.
They didn't know the reason before and thought she simply didn't want to look for someone because she was too busy with work.
Now that I know the inside story, I'm even more worried.
She has someone in her heart and is unwilling to give other men a chance.
"Xiaoyun, as her mother, you must talk to your daughter more often. She can't go on like this."
Old Lu sighed and said, "We are not an old-fashioned family. We don't think it's shameful for a girl not to get married. But only we know that Shanshan has suffered a lot these years. I hope she can get over her last relationship and have someone to accompany her."
Like Lu Ye, who used to be a work machine without any emotions.
He rarely smiles and has an old-fashioned demeanor.
Although they are very proud of their careers.
But people still need to have normal emotions and desires.
Since successfully developing feelings for Bai Zhi and starting a relationship, look at her current mental state.
This is what young people should be like.
Therefore, Mr. Lu firmly believes that only when Lu Shan starts a new relationship can she regain her vitality.
"Dad, I've been trying to comfort her."
Xie Yun's tone was full of helplessness.
As a high school teacher who has taught so many students, nothing I say works when it comes to my own daughter.
"To avoid putting pressure on Shanshan, let's all pretend we don't know anything and just help Qingbai in private, without making it too obvious."
Upon hearing what Grandpa Lu said, Xie Zheng laughed and said, "Grandpa Lu, you must have been a master of romance when you were young."
Old Master Lu was somewhat embarrassed by Xie Zheng's words and glared at him angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, you have no respect for elders."
Fearing that the younger generation might misunderstand him as having extensive dating experience, he awkwardly added, "I've only ever had Grandma Lu Ye as my partner in my entire life."
Old Lu's awkward explanation made everyone present burst into laughter.
But I didn't dare to laugh.
Wang Shufen and Lu Ya parted on bad terms, and Wang Shufen stormed downstairs. She didn't see Ye Qingbai and wondered, "Has Xiao Ye left?"
Bai Zhi and Xie Zheng are still here, so why did Ye Qingbai leave alone?
Could it be that Lu Ya's coldness disappointed Ye Qingbai?
As Wang Shufen was lost in thought, Xie Yun said...
"Xiao Ye didn't leave."
Old Master Lu subconsciously didn't want Wang Shufen to get involved in Lu Shan's private affairs.
She's getting better now, her energy is gradually returning, and since she doesn't have to work, she's spending all her time gossiping.
Xie Yun explained, "Shanshan went shopping, and we asked Xiaoye to keep her company. We heard things haven't been peaceful outside lately."
"Why aren't Xiao Ye and Xie Zheng going?" Wang Shufen looked at Lu Ye and the others, her tone tinged with jealousy.
"Aunt Wang, Lu Ye is with his girlfriend. I'm too weak to be someone's bodyguard. I heard it's been a bit unsafe outside at night lately, with thugs running around. You've read the newspapers, right? They specifically target young girls."
Xie Zheng said to Wang Shufen, "You should also keep an eye on your daughter and not let her run around. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it if something happens."
"Is that really true?" Wang Shufen asked, her expression slightly surprised.
"Otherwise what? Who's trying to scare you with this?"
Xie Zheng wasn't talking nonsense.
The news of a teenage girl being raped and her body dumped was indeed published in the newspapers a few days ago.
Wang Shufen realized that Lu Ya had been going out and partying lately, so she started to take it seriously.
Even her elder brother and sister-in-law forbade Lu Shan, a military doctor, from going out alone at night, so they certainly wouldn't let Lu Ya, a frail woman, run around recklessly.
But why did they send Ye Qingbai to keep them company?
It would be very inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together late at night; if word got out, it would have a bad influence.
Although Lu Shan is older than Ye Qingbai, she is also an unmarried woman.
Something suddenly occurred to Wang Shufang, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
Just then, a noise came from the doorway.
Lu Shan and Ye Qingbai are back.
Ye Qingbai followed behind, while Lu Shan carried a bag containing daily necessities such as toothpaste.
"Xiao Ye, thank you, you've worked hard."
After speaking politely and distantly, Lu Shan looked up at the group of people still chatting on the sofa and said, "I have to get up early tomorrow, so I'm going back to my room now."
After speaking, he went straight upstairs.
Ye Qingbai didn't sit down again, and said to Bai Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, are you going home tonight? If not, I'll be leaving now."
Bai Zhi spoke up, "Cousin, let's go back together."
Xie Zheng also stood up. "I'm leaving too."
Lu Ye didn't let Bai Zhi ride the motorcycle; instead, he drove her home.
And then he entrusted Xie Zheng, this burden, to Ye Qingbai.
"You're going that way anyway, give him a ride."
Xie Zheng didn't give Ye Qingbai a chance to refuse and followed behind him to get on the motorcycle.
Ye Qingbai is clear about his grudges and gratitude. Xie Zheng spoke up for him tonight, so no matter what, he should thank him.
After the young people left, Wang Shufen tentatively asked Xie Yun, "Sister-in-law, what do you think of this young man, Xiao Ye?"
Xie Yun hadn't expected Wang Shufen to be so perceptive, finding out so quickly. She looked slightly impatient and said, "He's quite good-looking, a handsome young man."
"He came to our house today and brought chocolates. I don't know who he gave them to," Wang Shufen said meaningfully, continuing to probe.
Xie Yun replied calmly, "Really? Then it's probably for young people."
"Does Shanshan like chocolate?"
Wang Shufen said to herself, "I remember she doesn't eat these things." Xie Yun interrupted her unhappily, "Alright, stop speculating. When guests come to visit, they don't bring things with any particular purpose."
