Chapter 281 Do you know why he did this?
The next morning.
Bian Zhi received a text message from Lu Yao.
[Junior sister, since my flight is early, I won't call you anymore. Next month, once I've finished dealing with things overseas, I'll be back home. You have to come pick me up then.]
When Bian Zhi replied to Lu Yao's message, Lin Jue was sitting on the sofa in the hall drinking tea, with Chen Tingsi sitting on his right.
"Zhizhi," Lin Jue held up the teacup, "I heard you and Lu Yao had dinner together when he returned to China this time."
Bian Zhi didn't react much, just nodded and answered casually, "Yeah."
Shen Tingsi, who was sitting on the side, suddenly had a stiff expression.
"Are you with Lu Yao's parents?"
"Yes, Zhou Suihuai is here too."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jue's relaxed brows furrowed instantly, "Why is that kid from the Zhou family here too?"
"I just happened to see it."
"Oh," Lin Jue's gaze fell on Bian Zhi's face and he asked tentatively, "It's been a while since I last met your senior brother. What did you talk about? I heard he said he would be returning to China to set up his own studio next month?"
"Um."
Lin Jue: “…”
Just one huh???
"What did you talk about?" The old father was obviously not giving up.
Bian Zhi put down his phone and looked at Lin Jue calmly. "So, what do you think we should talk about? Or, what do you want to ask?"
Lin Jue paused.
Seeing his frustrated look, Bian Zhi sighed, "I just had dinner. I felt that Senior Brother's temper was a little fiercer than before. Auntie and Uncle were still as considerate as before. The rest is nothing special."
Lin Jue looked thoughtful when he heard this.
After Chen Tingsi got up and went out, Lin Jue called out to Bian Zhi who was also about to go out.
"Zhizhi..."
"Lu Yao spoke to me on the phone before he returned to China. He had some things he was reluctant to say to you."
"When your mother left, you were still young. However, at that time, he favored your eldest brother the most. Later, your Mu Qing left, and your eldest brother supported the Bian family alone. It was very difficult. Dad thought that after serving as the dean of the Bian family for so long, he should have known the hardships."
Lin Jue glanced at Bian Zhi's indifferent expression. "Actually, Lu Yao had a chance to study abroad, but he stayed. Later, he left heartbroken after you got married. Do you know why?"
Bian Zhi put on his shoes smoothly without pausing, as if he didn't hear what Lin Jue said.
"Zhizhi?" Lin Jue genuinely doubted that Bian Zhi hadn't heard him. "Your senior brother originally had a bright future abroad, but when things were at their peak, he resolutely chose to return home. Do you know why?"
Bian Zhi put on her shoes, but she didn't leave immediately.
Instead, he stood at the door in silence for a while, carrying his bag.
Then he looked up, and there was a hint of alienation in his eyes when he looked at Lin Jue.
This sense of alienation made Lin Jue feel uncomfortable. The next second, he heard Bian Zhi ask, "Dad, do you like Lu Yao very much?"
Lin Jue subconsciously thought that Bian Zhi was asking for his opinion.
"Lu Yao is a practical, intelligent, and very determined child. You see, he studied under your mother, and his medical skills were already well-known in the industry. Later, he switched to psychology and achieved some success. A man who can shine in any field is worthy of admiration, young lady. Isn't he better than that Ou Moyuan you chose earlier?"
Lin Jue thought that what he said made perfect sense.
But when I looked up at Bian Zhi, her expression was still cold.
"Besides, before your mother left, she initially favored Zhou Suihuai, followed by Lu Yao. If Lu Yao returns to China, you two can be together in the future. He will be helpful to your career, and you won't be so tired."
"Taking all this into account, it makes sense that Dad likes Lu Yao."
Lin is definitely not a talkative person.
After saying such a long paragraph, it is obvious that he is very satisfied with Lu Yao.
Of course, Bian Zhi also knew that Lu Yao had been with Bian Yaoyao for so many years, and whenever Lin Jue had a headache or a fever, Lu Yao would take care of Lin Jue as if he were his father.
Therefore, if he had to choose between Zhou Suihuai and Lu Yao as his future son-in-law, then there was no doubt that Lin Jue would choose Lu Yao.
"Dad," Bian Zhi suddenly smiled. She looked at Lin Jue with a puzzled look on her face. She asked, "Since you like Lu Yao so much, then—"
Bian Zhi paused for a moment, Lin Ye came down from upstairs, the door behind him was pushed open, and Shen Tingsi came in from the door.
Bian Zhi still had a smile on his face.
As everyone looked at her, Bian Zhi gently opened her mouth, "Why did you marry Wang Zhen when Mother left? You should have married Lu Yao directly. In that case, the Bian's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital would have been established long ago. Why bother coming here today to match them up?"
"I feel tired for you when you're going around in circles like this."
When she finished speaking, Wang Zhen stood in the kitchen, biting her lower lip. The noise she accidentally made startled everyone.
She silently took two steps forward, exposed to everyone's sight.
Lin Jue's face froze, and then he looked extremely embarrassed.
Lin Ye stared at Bian Zhi in a daze, while Chen Tingsi lowered his head and pursed his lips. Everyone was worried that the peace that had been whitewashed for so long would be torn apart at this moment.
Quiet.
Deathly quiet.
until--
Wang Zhen rubbed his hands, lowered his head and walked up to Bian Zhi, "Girl, you can't talk to your father like that."
"Hoping you marry Lu Yao is your mother's wish, and I can testify to that."
"Your father definitely has no intention of forcing you, Zhizhi..." Wang Zhen paused for a second in embarrassment, then said, "Or..."
"Do you really still have feelings for Ou Moyuan? So, there's no room for anyone else in your heart?"
As soon as Wang Zhen said this, a sudden burst of anger appeared on Lin Jue's face. However, he still restrained himself. He suppressed his anger and asked loudly, "Really?!"
"Do you really still have feelings for Ou Moyuan in your heart?!"
Lin Jue widened his eyes and his tone gradually became heavier. When he looked at Bian Zhi, his eyebrows were sharp, which was a sign of anger.
Seeing this, Lin Ye immediately rushed down the stairs, stood in front of Bian Zhi, and quickly explained to Lin Jue, "Dad, are you kidding me? You've seen how my sister treats that Ou Gou. How could I still have feelings for him?"
"Sister," Lin Ye tilted his head and looked at Bian Zhi who was standing behind him with a cold face, "Hurry up and explain to Dad."
Everyone is waiting.
But Bian Zhi just stood at the door with her back straight, as if she had been standing upright for a long time. She said nothing, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, which made Lin Jue's anger spread to the top of his head.
"Dad," Shen Tingsi forgot to even change his shoes and walked straight in, blocking Lin Ye and Bian Zhi behind him. "Don't be angry. Zhi Zhi has her own judgment. She can't and won't have any more thoughts about Ou Moyuan. If Ou Moyuan keeps coming to provoke me, I will take care of the rest. Don't worry."
Shen Tingsi's assurance made Lin Jue's expression soften.
At this time, a porcelain-white hand slowly left the forest in front of him, and then came Shen Tingsi.
Bian Zhi stood in the bright sunlight, looking at Lin Jue. "I didn't interfere with who you had feelings for back then. Now, you don't have to interfere with who I have feelings for. I got married because I wanted to leave home. If, if marriage is really the only way to escape the arrangement, I don't mind getting married again."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone looked at Bian Zhi in shock.
Bian Zhi chuckled lazily, "Dad, this time, you still have no say in who I marry."
"If there's nothing else, I'll go to work."
Bian Zhi nodded to Lin Jue and walked away.
The rest of the room was shocked.
