Su Jiaojiao always felt that this was quite a coincidence.
After divorcing Fang Lishan, Bai Manqi went back to ask her family for help.
They brought Fang Zhen back to Beijing.
Now, the Bai family has arrived.
Fang Yan didn't quite believe it either.
"What's wrong, cousin? What's with that expression?" Bai Shuyuan asked somewhat innocently. "Why would I lie to you about something like this?"
"Your aunt agreed?" Fang Yan knew his aunt well; she doted on her youngest son.
Fortunately, this one didn't go astray like Fang Zhen.
But he has had little contact with this cousin, so he's probably two-faced.
"I signed up myself." Bai Shuyuan's eyes darted around, his confidence wavering. "It's just unfortunate that my second cousin left right after I arrived."
He only found out that Fang Cheng had returned to Beijing after he arrived here.
He came here for two reasons: first, to support medical development in the Northwest; and second, to become Fang Cheng's student.
Fang Cheng's medical skills are among the best in Beijing.
Young in age, but with a wealth of experience.
Fang Yan didn't press further, but simply nodded before speaking again: "This is my cousin's wife, and she'll be your senior sister from now on."
"Cousin-in-law? Senior sister?" Bai Shuyuan was a little confused and couldn't figure out the relationship for a moment.
"She's also your cousin-in-law." Fang Yan thought for a moment; that should be the relationship.
"Hello, sister-in-law." Bai Shuyuan didn't think too much about it. "Please take care of me in the future."
Although I don't know when the Bai family became related to this relative, my cousin said so, so be it.
The main thing is that we'll be in the same office in the future, seeing each other all the time, and it's good to have some family ties.
Su Jiaojiao nodded distantly and politely, which was her response.
I started tidying up my desk.
"Oh, right, I brought you a little something for our first meeting." Bai Shuyuan said gently, while taking out two boxes of Beijing delicacies from his backpack.
One item was handed to Fang Yan.
A very respectful item was placed in front of Su Jiaojiao.
He was somewhat wary of Su Jiaojiao.
Although Su Jiaojiao looked two years younger than him.
Su Jiaojiao did not refuse: "Thank you, Comrade Bai."
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Bai Shuyuan quickly waved his hand. "My second cousin and his wife have been away these past few days. Dean Wu asked me to stay in this office. I apologize for bothering my cousin's wife."
"It's alright," Su Jiaojiao waved her hand, saying it didn't matter.
"Is everything settled into the dorm?" Fang Yan felt Bai Shuyuan was quite embarrassed, so he quickly asked, "Is there anything you need? I'll take you to buy it after get off work at noon."
After glancing at Fang Yan's leg, Bai Shuyuan waved his hand: "No need, cousin, you should take good care of your injury."
He can do it himself.
He was a little puzzled as to why his cousin-in-law seemed to have some kind of grudge against him.
They met for the first time, how could there be any misunderstanding?
That was absolutely wrong.
At lunchtime, he went to the dean's office and made a phone call home.
They asked about his relationship with the Fu family.
Only then did I realize that my cousin Fang Zhen was sent to the farm for reform through labor because of Su Jiaojiao.
I also heard that my aunt wanted the Bai family to suppress the Fu family.
"What's going on here?" Bai Shuyuan sighed, looking dejected. Unfortunately, he and Su Jiaojiao were assigned to the same office.
After all, we're in the same department, and even if we're not in the same office, we'll still see each other often in the future.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Shuyuan bought fruit, canned goods, and malted milk powder, and knocked on the door of Du Xiuyun and Fu Yifei's house.
Du Xiuyun was cooking, and Su Jiaojiao was helping her.
She didn't mention anything about work.
I don't think it's necessary.
Hearing the knock, Su Jiaojiao ran to open the door. When she saw Bai Shuyuan, she was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing here?"
"Sister-in-law, I've come to see my aunt and uncle." Bai Shuyuan said politely, though he was a little afraid of Su Jiaojiao.
The main problem is that Su Jiaojiao's behavior was too unfriendly.
In addition, after learning about what had happened before, he also felt that his aunt Bai Manqi and his cousin Su Zhen were not right.
I feel somewhat guilty.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Su Jiaojiao's face.
She didn't have a good impression of the Bai family either.
I feel even more strongly that Bai Shuyuan's appearance was not accidental.
"Come in." Su Jiaojiao had no reason to stop her.
Bai Shuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, cousin-in-law."
Du Xiuyun, of course, did not recognize Bai Shuyuan. Only when he said he was from the Bai family in Beijing did she understand: "Why did you come here?"
He then had Bai Shuyuan sit in the living room.
"I, I've come to support the development of the Northwest," Bai Shuyuan said righteously, "to contribute to the motherland."
He could have stayed in Beijing, but he felt that the Northwest needed him more.
"Good, good, good." Du Xiuyun liked this ambitious young man and admired him greatly. She nodded with a smile, "Our country needs talents like you."
Su Jiaojiao continued to the kitchen.
She planned to go to the provincial capital in the afternoon to see how the preparations for the organic fertilizer plant were going.
Given the current situation, there's not much she can do.
We can only rely on the military to take the lead.
Du Xiuyun walked into the kitchen: "Jiaojiao, you don't need to do this. Go chat with Xiaoci. You young people have more in common."
This Bai Shu was nothing like Bai Manqi, who was arrogant and rude.
"These relatives keep coming one after another," Su Jiaojiao said casually.
Walking into the living room, she sat down on the stool next to Bai Shuyuan: "How is Fang Zhen now?"
After being asked about what had happened at home recently, Bai Shuyuan looked somewhat embarrassed: "I'm still undergoing reform at the farm, but my dad said I can go home in a month."
The Bai family really dotes on Fang Zhen.
"Aren't you afraid the Gu family will get involved?" Su Jiaojiao thought that Fang Cheng had gone all the way back to perform surgery on Old Master Gu in order to climb the social ladder.
It's not a good idea for the Bai family to directly confront the Gu family.
Bai Shuyuan paused for a moment before shaking his head: "I didn't ask about these things."
He doesn't care much about family matters.
All he knew was to work hard and serve his country.
"Between the Gu family and your Bai family, who is more powerful?" Su Jiaojiao knew that Bai Shuyuan was a well-behaved child, and he was particularly in line with the spirit of this era—positive, sunny, and ambitious.
"Well, let's talk about the Gu family," Bai Shuyuan said after a moment's thought. "However..."
“Actually, I also think Fang Zhen is going too far, but Auntie only has one daughter, and Grandpa and Grandma can’t just ignore her.” Bai Shuyuan knew what Su Jiaojiao disliked about him.
But he felt quite innocent.
He never interfered in Fang Zhen's affairs.
Moreover, he and Fang Zhen were not close.
It's just that they're cousins.
“One month.” Su Jiaojiao was even more unhappy. Generally speaking, the Bai family couldn’t distinguish right from wrong.
Now that Bai Manqi and Fang Lishan are divorced, and they only have one house here, Bai Manqi can only take Fang Zhen back to the Bai family home.
Then the Bai family will likely face a lot of trouble from now on.
She glanced at Bai Shuyuan again and said, "You're here to find some peace and quiet, aren't you?"
Bai Shuyuan got anxious and said, "Of course not, nothing's wrong with my family, we're perfectly fine."
Seeing his anxious explanation, Su Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh.
However, she knew that the Bai family was also in turmoil.
If Bai Manqi brings in someone like Fang Zhen, who doesn't know her place and is clueless about right and wrong, things are bound to get interesting.
You don't even need to do anything; Fang Zhen will probably get herself thrown out.
But if that happens, Bai Manqi and Fang Zhen might come looking for Fang Lishan.
After going around in circles, we've come back again.
