Bai Rou'er: "Yes, it's quite a coincidence."
Recently, business at the store has been getting better and better, so she wanted a junior assistant to help her out, and that's when she met Bai Ting.
Bai Ting was very proactive and performed well at her job as a waitress. One time, when Bai Rou'er was going upstairs, she slipped and fell down the stairs. Bai Ting used her body as a human cushion to protect Bai Rou'er from injury, which greatly increased Bai Rou'er's goodwill towards her and made her consider hiring her as her assistant.
Later, Bai Rou'er conducted an in-depth investigation into Bai Ting, and the investigation revealed that the two actually shared the same ancestor, making them relatives, albeit distant ones.
Bai Ting's revelation of her background made Bai Rou'er feel even more pity for her.
Today, Bai Ting ran into some people from Baijia Village who were eating. They told her that Bai Gui was dead and that Bai Qing knew where she was. They threatened to burn down the shop if she didn't go back. Fearing that Bai Rou'er would be implicated, Bai Ting chose to go home.
Bai Rou'er: "Bai Ting has a great learning ability. With her as my assistant, I can open more stores."
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Zhang Fan.
In this way, she can stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Fan.
Ji Zhi praised, "Boss Bai has great ideas; she truly deserves to be called a modern woman."
As the vehicle jolted, Bai Ting slowly awoke. The first thing she did upon opening her eyes was to shout in a hoarse voice, "Boss, run!"
As she spoke, she pushed Bai Rou'er with her hand, her eyes filled with fear. Bai Rou'er held Bai Ting's hand and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, we are safe now."
Bai Ting cautiously turned her head to the other side, and Zhang Fan suddenly appeared in front of her.
Zhang Fan?
How did he end up here?
Bai Ting was taken aback. Bai Rou'er saw that Bai Ting was looking at Zhang Fan and explained, "This time, thanks to Zhang Fan, he took care of them all by himself."
Bai Ting sensed that the relationship between the two was not simple, and said softly, "Thank you."
Bai Rou'er: "You should take a nap first, you'll be fine in a little while."
Bai Ting shook her head: "Boss, just find me anywhere to get off the bus. If Bai Qing and the others know I'm here, they'll definitely make things difficult for you."
Bai Rou'er said gently, "Don't worry, you can stay in your dorm for the next few days. When you come with me on this business trip in a few days, they won't be able to find you. Besides, I just saw that your house was on fire. I don't know how they are doing."
Bai Ting lowered her eyes, pressed her lips tightly together, and remained silent, lost in thought.
It was getting late, so Bai Rou'er and Bai Ting booked a hotel, while Zhang Fan and Ji Zhi went home.
Li Chunyan was playing with Xiao Hei when she saw the two of them come in, so she quickly went to heat up the food.
With Ji Zhi around, Zhang Fan couldn't find an opportunity to clarify things and could only look for another chance.
During the meal, Li Chunyan chatted casually, saying that she had met the supermarket owner from Hudong Province that day and was very satisfied with their kimchi, and planned to cooperate with them in the long term.
Next, they need to purchase a large quantity of vegetables and make more kimchi. Once the contract is signed, she plans to hire people.
However, with Ji Zhi present, Li Chunyan couldn't say much, so she went to her room to sleep.
For the rest of the time, Li Chunyan and Bai Rou'er went to the nearby market to look for suitable vegetables and planned to make a large purchase.
Ji Zhi drove Zhang Fan back and forth between Jiangcheng and Taohua County. Under Zhang Fan's treatment, Wei Lai finally showed some improvement.
"Son, you're awake." Leng Juan said, holding Wei Lai's hand, tears of joy streaming down her face.
Wei Lai opened his eyes, but showed no reaction to anything; his gaze was empty and lifeless.
Leng Juan: "Dr. Zhang, what's going on?"
Zhang Fan took Wei Lai's pulse, his eyes gradually becoming confused: "His body is very healthy. Apart from being a little weak, he is no different from a normal person. He may be just recovering from waking up and his body is not used to it yet. He will be fine in a while."
Hearing Zhang Fan say that, Leng Juan's furrowed brows eased slightly: "That's good."
Wei Yangze had been in Wei Qing's hospital room the whole time. He only arrived late after learning that Wei Lai had woken up. When he saw Wei Lai's empty eyes, Wei Yangze's brow furrowed: "Isn't this just making the child suffer?"
Leng Juan's face turned cold, and her finger trembled as she pointed at Wei Yangze: "Get out of here!"
Wei Yangze opened his mouth, but didn't say the last word, and turned to leave.
Zhang Fan's gaze fell on Wei Yangze, noticing that his hand, placed at his side, was tightly gripping his trouser leg, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.
Wei Qing, dragging his weak body, leaned against the door frame and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Second Uncle is just worried that your body can't take it. I'll go and persuade Uncle, and Second Aunt, you should take better care of your health."
He looked worried. Leng Juan's jawline was tense, and her face was as cold as ice. Wei Yangze said unhappily, "All you do is give people attitude."
Wei Qing pulled Wei Yangze aside: "Second Uncle, please say less."
When he was trying to persuade him, he swayed and almost fainted. Wei Yangze felt sorry for him and quickly helped him away.
Leng Juan was so angry that she trembled. When she turned around and saw Wei Lai, she forced herself to suppress her anger.
That strange feeling intensified; Wei Yangze seemed to wish Wei Lai dead, acting nothing like a father.
However, every time he said something harsh, he would make subtle movements that showed his discomfort, as if he was saying these hurtful words insincerely and in great pain.
It's like being a puppet controlled by someone.
When cultivators reach a certain level of cultivation, they can control the behavior or speech of ordinary people. There are also some drugs or other secret techniques that can achieve this.
Zhang Fan's brow furrowed slightly. If Wei Yangze was indeed in this situation, then he would definitely be difficult to deal with.
"Mr. Wei, would you mind if I took your pulse?"
Wei Qing's face stiffened, and then he heard Wei Yangze say, "My body is fine, I don't need treatment."
Hearing this, Wei Qing's expression softened slightly, and he said softly, "Uncle, I want to rest for a bit."
Wei Yangze said anxiously, "Go back and lie down quickly, your health is the most important thing."
After everyone left, Zhang Fan withdrew his gaze and carefully observed Wei Lai's face.
He can't read faces yet, but he can see a person's aura and can tell their luck based on the color of that aura.
Wei Lai's glabella is slightly dark. In face reading, the glabella is considered the "life official," which is the master switch of destiny and the convergence point of good and bad fortune.
This indicates that Wei Lai has been having bad luck lately and is prone to misfortune.
In traditional Chinese medicine, a dark gray color between the eyebrows indicates a problem with the Du meridian or the bladder meridian.
However, his pulse diagnosis revealed otherwise. Zhang Fan frowned slightly, leaned closer to examine Wei Lai's ear, and immediately noticed something amiss.
The blood vessels on the back of Wei Lai's ears appeared normal, but when he focused his spiritual energy on his eyes, they became bright and piercing, like X-rays, able to see through all illusions.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that Wei Lai's earlobe had several forked veins, accompanied by bluish-black veins.
These are symptoms of amnesia. Over time, the veins will grow longer and thicker, and if they extend beyond the earlobe, they will be very difficult to treat.
Zhang Fan withdrew his spiritual power, and the symptoms disappeared again, as if they had never existed.
What's going on?
At this moment, the veins on the back of Wei Lai's ear began to spread, and they were only inches away from the earlobe.
