Chapter 112: It Can't Be Hidden Anymore
Wang Shufen was convinced that Bai Zhi was having an affair, and she lectured her in the manner of an elder.
Old Master Lu couldn't stand it anymore and scolded, "Watch your mouth! Don't you act like an elder?"
"Dad, you're still protecting her at a time like this. Our Xiaoye is so outstanding, it's her good fortune that she's chosen to be with him. Besides, what kind of family are we? What kind of family is she? Not only does she not cherish us, but she's also messing around outside. If this gets out, what will people think of our Lu family?"
"Luckily, they're not married yet," Wang Shufen suggested.
“Since she doesn’t cherish Lu Ye, then quickly break off the engagement and let Xiao Ye sever all ties with her. This is her own fault for not valuing this engagement, so you can’t blame our Lu family for being unjust. I believe that Elder Bai’s spirit in heaven will not blame you.”
Old Lu was already annoyed, and Wang Shufen's outburst only made his head ache. "Shut up."
After being yelled at by the old man, Wang Shufen looked indignant, snorted coldly at Bai Zhi, and could only mute herself.
Bai Zhi glanced disdainfully at the woman who looked like a clown, scoffed, and ignored her.
Let's wait and see if she gets proven wrong.
Old Master Lu took a deep breath, looked at Bai Zhi, and tentatively asked, "Xiao Zhi, who did you come with? Was it Lu Ye? Where is he?"
"Grandpa Lu, he..."
Just as Bai Zhi was organizing her thoughts, Lu Ye's deep voice came from inside the room, "Xiao Bai, let Grandpa and the others in."
“He’s inside.” Bai Zhi pointed to the door of the main room.
When Grandpa Lu heard his eldest grandson's voice, his previously gloomy expression immediately brightened.
Inside the house is his eldest grandson.
He knew that Bai Zhi was not a reckless girl.
He said his guess was correct.
Wang Shufen and Lu Hai, who were following behind, also had unpredictable expressions.
Lu Ye was actually inside.
Wang Shufen looked at Wang Tingting, who was standing there in a daze, with a resentful expression.
No wonder someone who used to be like a fighting rooster suddenly turned into an ostrich.
The old man, delighted and pleased by the rapid progress of the two young people, went inside with a joyful and excited heart.
However, when he saw the scene inside the room, the smile on his face instantly froze.
"Ono, what's wrong with you? Why are you sticking needles in your needles?"
As soon as the old man entered, the first thing he noticed was the silver needles on Lu Ye's body, and then his gaze fell on the scar on his chest.
Newly added scars.
Old Lu stared at the conspicuous and hideous scar, stumbled, and grabbed the door frame to steady himself.
He got injured again.
As a soldier, he had also survived countless brushes with death in the flames of war.
He knew better than anyone how dangerous the location of that scar was.
My grandson has escaped with his life.
well!
The numerous large and small wounds crisscrossing his body have left his back and chest unrecognizable.
He was so sad that he couldn't say a word, and he couldn't bear to look at people, so he turned his face away.
"Grandpa, it's nothing serious. I've just been a bit tired lately. Let Xiaobai give me acupuncture to help me recover."
Lu Ye pretended to be relaxed, but the old man's expression did not soften at all. Tears welled up in his eyes, and his thin body stood there, trembling slightly.
Bai Zhi walked over, helped him up, and asked him to sit down. "Grandpa Lu, don't be sad, it's really just a matter of recuperation."
Old Lu took a deep breath and quickly calmed himself down. He walked to the bedside, looked straight at Lu Ye, and after a long while, his voice choked with emotion, "How long has it been?"
“A month ago,” Lu Ye replied.
"So, you haven't been home all this time; you've been lying in the hospital?"
No wonder the eldest son and his wife were acting strangely a while ago. They would disappear for days at a time, and when they came home, they were either exhausted or looked worried.
He should have sensed this long ago.
Lu Ye smiled easily, "Grandpa, don't worry, everything's alright now."
Lu Ye had wanted to put on some clothes to cover his scars, but with silver needles stuck in his chest, it was really inconvenient for him to wear clothes.
He knew his grandfather wouldn't be able to bear seeing it, but now that the scar was there, there was no need to hide it anymore.
"Xiao Zhi, how is Lu Ye's health now? Are there any other problems?"
Lu Ye looked at Bai Zhi, shook his head, and reminded her not to say anything more.
The injury couldn't be hidden, but the problem of the drug poisoning in my body absolutely couldn't be told to my grandfather.
That kind of thing is taboo for everyone.
Bai Zhi said, "Grandpa, there's nothing wrong, he's just a little weak. I'll take care of him."
"Empty?"
Upon hearing this word, everyone present wore expressions that were hard to describe.
It's obvious they've made something up in their heads.
"Cough cough cough." Lu Ye noticed his grandfather's expression and knew that the old man had misunderstood.
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, explaining awkwardly, "It's not that weak."
Bai Zhi chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, it's not that weak. A course of treatment with acupuncture and herbal decoction should be enough."
Wang Tingting stood blankly outside the door, listening to their suggestive conversation, her head buzzing.
She really didn't expect that the man she saw riding a bicycle today would be Lu Ye.
That vibrant young man was none other than him.
He usually appears as a resolute and aloof tough guy.
When he was with Bai Zhi, he was surprisingly full of youthful energy.
Bai Zhi said he was physically weak...
So, they've gotten to that point?
Shameless woman, she slept with Lu Ye after only meeting him for a few days.
Unable to satisfy her, he was given acupuncture and medicine to regulate his body.
What a slut.
"Tingting, come in."
Old Master Lu's authoritative voice pulled Wang Tingting back to reality.
Old Master Lu stared at her with a stern expression, and Wang Tingting had no choice but to lower her head and follow him step by step inside.
Mr. Lu, his face grim, looked at her and questioned, "What did you say in my house just now, in front of your aunt and Xiao Hai?"
Wang Tingting lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Seeing that Wang Tingting remained silent, Old Lu looked at Lu Hai and said, "Xiao Hai, what did your cousin say? Tell her to recall."
Lu Hai was quite enthusiastic and repeated what Wang Tingting had said when she was at their house: "My cousin said that my future sister-in-law sneaked into the gate with a strange man. She must be up to something outside. If she's lying, she'll get hit by a car and die."
Wang Tingting, "!!!"
Wang Shufen glared at Lu Hai and whispered a reminder, "Can you please stop making things worse?"
She's her own niece, and Lu Hai's cousin too. No matter what, they should be protecting Wang Tingting at this time.
"Anything else?" Old Master Lu was clearly satisfied with his grandson's attitude and continued to ask.
Lu Hai seemed oblivious to his mother's reminder, not even glancing at Wang Tingting, and said, "Also... she said she'd accept going to jail if she lied."
“Keep going, it’s not over yet,” Old Lu said.
Lu Hai scratched his head and recalled for a couple of seconds, "My cousin also said that if she talked nonsense, she could be dealt with however she wanted."
Wang Tingting's face turned ashen as she looked at her cousin, who showed her no respect whatsoever, with a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
Old Master Lu seemed not to have heard a satisfactory answer yet, and waited for Lu Hai to continue.
"Also, you asked her if it's okay for her to give up her feelings for Lu Ye? My cousin said it's possible."
