Chapter 277: Invitation to Participate in the Performance
Wang Shufen's voice was high-pitched, and her facial swelling didn't seem as severe as before. Although she still walked with a waddling gait, just by hearing her voice, one could tell that her mental state was better than before.
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie."
Bai Zhi did not exchange many pleasantries with Wang Shufen.
Instead, he sat down opposite Elder Lu.
"I sent your Xiao Zhang to pick up your grandfather; he should be here soon."
Wang Shufen smiled and sat down. She had originally wanted Bai Zhi to check her pulse, as the medicine she had received last time would be finished in two days.
Then we'll have to queue up again.
Bai Zhi happened to be here today, so I took her pulse and prescribed some medicine, saving her the trouble of queuing up again.
Before she could even finish speaking, upon hearing that Doctor Ye would also be coming, Wang Shufen immediately swallowed her words back.
She has to wait for Doctor Ye to come and examine her.
A master is always better than a disciple.
She still trusted Doctor Ye more.
Mr. Lu has been in high spirits lately, enjoying a happy occasion.
With Wang Shufen's health improving and her no longer groaning and complaining all day, the atmosphere at home was much better than before.
“Your second aunt looks much better than before, Xiaozhi. Your grandfather’s reputation as a miracle doctor is well-deserved.”
Bai Zhi smiled and thought to herself, "Of course."
Wang Shufen was also beaming with joy.
Not only did they praise Ye Rufeng, but they also praised Bai Zhi and Lu Ye for his good fortune...
Bai Zhi didn't respond to her question, but simply asked where Lu Ya had gone.
Wang Shufen said, "She doesn't need to stay with me all day lately; she's gone out and had fun."
"Didn't she go to work?"
“She’s waiting for the school to assign her a job. Your second uncle suggested she go to the company to help out, but she’s not happy about it and insists on waiting for the assignment with her classmates.”
When Lu Ya's matter was mentioned, Old Master Lu's face turned somber.
Bai Zhi could tell that the old man was very dissatisfied with Lu Ya, so she wisely kept quiet.
When Ye Rufeng arrived, he was accompanied by two other people.
Ye Qingbai and Xie Zheng.
Although the Lu family all knew Ye Qingbai, Ye Rufeng still formally introduced him, "This is my grandson-in-law, and also Xiaozhi's cousin. You don't mind if I bring another member of Xiaozhi's family along, do you?"
Lu Zheng'an smiled and said, "Old Ye, look at what you're saying. Qingbai and Lu Ye are comrades-in-arms and brothers. We're practically family now, so what's there to mind? We'd be very happy to welcome them."
While everyone was welcoming Ye Qingbai, Xie Zheng felt a little awkward. He touched his nose and explained to Lu Zheng'an, "Uncle-in-law, I came here for something."
"You're my own child, what's there to be reserved about? Come in."
Lu Zheng'an's comment about Xie Zheng being his own child almost broke Xie Zheng's composure.
He was experiencing a strange mix of emotions, his feelings were complicated.
Over the years, even though he hated Lu Ye, he always
Ye Qingbai followed Ye Rufeng into the room, greeted Elder Lu and the others first, and then his gaze fell on the figure who had just come down the stairs from the second floor.
Lu Shan also noticed the guests in the living room at this moment.
She went downstairs, called out "Grandpa Ye," and then looked at Xie Zheng and Ye Qingbai, "Cousin, Comrade Ye, please have a seat."
"good."
Seeing that there were many guests at home, Lu Shan went to the kitchen to help Zhang Ma.
Ye Qingbai's gaze followed her every step of the way. Xie Zheng inadvertently noticed where Ye Qingbai was looking, and with a slight smile, he deliberately patted Ye Qingbai's shoulder, "Stop looking, or my cousin will beat you up."
Ye Qingbai moved forward, creating distance between them, and said, "Get lost."
Soon, the food was served, and Xie Yun came out to invite everyone to sit in the dining room.
Xie Zheng said, "Aunt, I've already eaten, you guys eat."
"Come over and eat less vegetables."
Xie Zheng couldn't refuse his aunt's hospitality, so he sat down with everyone.
During the meal, after they had finished chatting, Xie Zheng seized the opportunity to stand up and speak very solemnly.
"I'm here today to invite everyone to see our band's performance at the South City Grand Theatre on Thursday night."
"Uncle, aunt, cousin, if you have time, please come and support us."
Upon hearing that Xie Zheng finally had a formal performance, Xie Yun happily replied, "Okay."
"Cousin, the performance is in the evening, do you have time to go?"
Lu Shan said, "Unless there are any unforeseen circumstances, Thursday night is free."
Xie Zheng hummed in agreement, then looked at Grandpa Lu, "Grandpa Lu, I guess you'll find it too noisy, so I won't force you."
He knew that Old Master Lu looked down on their performance.
Xie Zheng also invited Bai Zhi, Ye Rufeng, and Ye Qingbai.
Ye Rufeng said he had neither the time nor the interest.
Bai Zhi will definitely go.
Ye Qingbai, who had always disliked Xie Zheng, surprisingly agreed to attend.
Upon hearing that she could go to the theater to see a performance, Lu Ya blinked her mascara-covered eyes and looked at Xie Zheng expectantly, "Brother Zheng, can I bring my friend?"
Xie Zheng: "Bringing friends is fine, but not that scoundrel from last time."
What are you saying?
Lu Ya was very unhappy with how Xie Zheng addressed her partner, but she didn't dare to show it. She winked at Xie Zheng, afraid that he would say something he shouldn't have.
"What kind of good-for-nothing?" Old Lu squinted at Lu Ye and asked.
Lu Ya hurriedly replied, "Grandpa, don't listen to my brother Zheng's nonsense. He's afraid that some hooligans will sneak in and lower the class of his performance."
Xie Zheng was sensible enough not to mention to the Lu family that Lu Ya was dating a scoundrel.
He was puzzled; how could the Lu family be unaware of such a major event?
It seems Lu Ya also knows that her boyfriend is not presentable, and that's why she's been keeping it a secret from her family.
But Old Master Lu wasn't one to be trifled with; he sensed something from Xie Zheng's words just now.
However, since there were guests at home at the moment, he still gave Lu Ya face and didn't mention anything else.
After dinner, the elders were chatting, but Xie Zheng couldn't stay any longer and decided to go home early.
He gestured for Bai Zhi to come outside with him for a moment, saying he had something to talk to her about.
Bai Zhi finished her meal and was about to digest when she followed Xie Zheng out the door.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Xiao Zhi, I want to ask, when is Lu Ye coming back?" Xie Zheng looked a little uneasy. "I don't know if he'll be able to make it to see our performance."
Bai Zhi glanced at his awkward expression and said with a smile, "Oh, you're inviting Lu Ye? Are you serious about it?"
Xie Zheng met her probing gaze and rolled his eyes. "Of course it's true. I, Xie Zheng, would never say one thing and mean another."
Since he spoke, it must have come from the bottom of his heart.
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "So, you mean you want to reconcile with Lu Ye?"
Xie Zheng ignored her words and pressed on, "Do you even know when he's coming back?"
Bai Zhi shook her head honestly, "I don't know."
Xie Zheng, “…”
