When Bai Yuhe saw that the two of them were looking at her as if she were an enemy, she immediately understood. It turned out that the two of them thought she was a person with ill intentions, after all, she was dressed rather formally today.
She cleared her throat. This was her cousin; she always wanted to make a good first impression.
“Miss Lu, my name is Bai Yuhe, you can call me Yuhe. My father is your uncle, your father is my maternal uncle.”
Lu Wanzheng was shocked: "What did you say!"
She wasn't mistaken, was she? Was the girl in front of her her cousin?
Bai Yuhe wasn't angry. A normal person would probably be more shocked than the girl in front of him upon hearing this news. "I said, we are very close relatives. Our fathers are brothers, the kind who are born of the same mother."
Lu Wanzheng was engrossed in the moment. Xiao Qifeng listened to Bai Yuhe's explanation but did not relax. He saw that Bai Yuhe was alone, but he did not underestimate her. Since she was from a reclusive ancient martial arts family, she could definitely take on two people at once. He needed to stay alert at all times to ensure Lu Wanzheng's safety.
"So who's in charge of the Bai family now? Your father?"
If the current head of the family is Bai Yuhe's father, then they need to be even more vigilant this time. They don't know who was behind the internal strife back then. Even if they are brothers from the same mother, what does it matter if they kill each other for profit?
Throughout history, there have been numerous instances of brothers killing each other.
Bai Yuhe waved her hand, "My old man is idle all day long. He's not old, and all he does is tease the birds and sing little tunes. If someone like that becomes the head of the family, I'll be the first to disagree. The one in charge now is my eldest uncle, who is Miss Lu's father."
Upon hearing this, both Lu Wanzheng and Xiao Qifeng were stunned. So this meant that her father had won the internal strife back then?
While thinking about it, Lu Wanzheng also voiced her question, sniffing, "So my father is the current head of the family?"
Bai Yuhe: "That's right. I came here on my uncle's orders to pick you up. But before we go to the Bai family, I need to take you somewhere."
Upon learning that the current head of the family was his father-in-law, Xiao Qifeng's hostility towards Bai Yuhe eased, but he did not completely believe it, as it was only one side of the story.
Lu Wanzheng grabbed Xiao Qifeng's clothes and shook them. She looked up at him, and Xiao Qifeng noticed her small movement. He turned his head to look at her, and their eyes met, as if they were exchanging information silently.
"Let's talk as we walk," Lu Wanzheng said, linking arms with Xiao Qifeng and helping to push the trolley full of suitcases, while urging Bai Yuhe to set off.
Xiao Qifeng: Where are we going now?
Bai Yuhe sighed. Why was her cousin-in-law so suspicious?
"Go to the hospital."
"Didn't we already do a DNA test?" Xiao Qifeng blurted out. The other party knew that he and Lu Wanzheng were in N City today, so they must have investigated them. They might even have deliberately given him the information about the Bai family to lure them to N City and attract his attention. So the Bai family contacted the person who did the DNA test for Lu Wanzheng before to leak the information.
Since the doctor knew them, the attack could definitely influence the final outcome, so the Bai family had reason to believe that the test report they received might be forged.
Bai Yuhe didn't think too much about it. Since they had found a doctor the other party knew, there was no rule that they could only find one doctor, so they were very certain about the test results.
“Your uncle is at the hospital right now, so I’ll take you there first. We’ll go back to the Bai family home later. The rooms have already been tidied up for you.” She had just returned home and had someone tidy up the courtyard. Since she didn’t know her cousin’s preferences, the interior decoration was basically left untouched, just some necessary furniture was placed there. “By the way, I only had someone tidy up your courtyard. I’d like to ask you what your plans are for the specific decoration.”
Lu Wanzheng and Xiao Qifeng followed Bai Yuhe to the parking area and got into her car. The couple sat in the back seat, as Bai Yuhe had driven herself this time.
Now that he had found his father-in-law so quickly, Xiao Qifeng naturally wanted to stay with Lu Wanzheng in N City for a while longer. "A combination of pastoral and Nordic styles would be perfect."
"OK."
Lu Wanzheng didn't care about things like renovations; as long as the toilet was nice, she was willing to live in a thatched hut. What she cared about more was the first half of Bai Yuhe's sentence, "My father is in the hospital? Is he feeling unwell?" There must be a reason for going to the hospital, even though they had never met, they shared the deepest blood ties, which made her care for him from the bottom of her heart.
"Don't worry, your uncle is in good health. He is taking care of your aunt, Lu Qianyu, at the hospital."
Bai Yuhe also learned some of what happened back then from Bai Ruichen. During her time in Kyoto, she also found out that Lu Wanzheng was constantly searching for her mother. Now that she heard that her mother was still alive, her cousin must be very happy.
Sure enough, when Lu Wanzheng heard that her mother was still alive, her mind went blank for a moment, and then her body trembled instinctively. She could no longer hide the smile on her face, and she was even on the verge of crying tears of joy. She suddenly hugged Xiao Qifeng beside her, "Mr. Xiao, my mother is still alive. I knew she was still alive. When we couldn't find my mother's body back then, I knew she was definitely not dead."
Lu Wanzheng went from being excited at first to gradually calming down. Xiao Qifeng held her close, making her as comfortable as possible in his arms.
Seeing this through the rearview mirror, Bai Yuhe knew she had given Lu Wanzheng too much hope. She hesitated, but continued only after seeing Lu Wanzheng leave Xiao Qifeng's body: "My aunt was in a car accident back then. Although she is still alive, her body was damaged and she is still in a coma." To put it bluntly, Lu Qianyu is currently in a vegetative state, a vegetative state that could break down at any moment.
"Yuhe, can you drive a little faster? I want to see my mom sooner."
Even if Mom becomes a vegetable, as long as she doesn't give up, with today's advanced medicine, she will wake up one day.
At this moment, she couldn't wait to see her mother and tell her about what she had experienced over the past few years. Whether her mother could hear her or not, she would be content as long as she could see her.
Although Bai Yuhe hadn't experienced what Lu Wanzheng had gone through, she could understand Lu Wanzheng's anxiety at this moment. "Don't worry, I'm trying my best to drive without speeding."
Xiao Qifeng also comforted her, "Don't worry, we've waited for more than ten years, can't we wait a few tens of minutes? Why don't you compose yourself? Even though your mother-in-law is unconscious, you should still be in good spirits when you go to see her. If you look beautiful when you go to see her, she definitely won't want to sleep too much."
Such words are actually devoid of any substance, but they can still serve as a kind of faith. If a person loses their faith, their life would probably be like that of a walking corpse.
Lu Wanzheng nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, tidied her disheveled hair, and tried her best to maintain a good state of mind.
