Su Yue and the others spent the New Year in Beicheng before returning home. On the morning of their return, Lu Yunting rushed over with the money Huo Xueshen had entrusted him to help sell the house.
He said to Grandma Yang, "I'm here to see Fu Shen."
Grandma Yang responded with a smile, "He's in his room, I'll go and call him out."
Before Grandma Yang could even call out, Fu Shen keenly heard Lu Yunting's voice, walked out of the room, raised an eyebrow slightly, and asked with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "What are you doing here?"
Lu Yunting has not appeared since he sent his father back home more than a month ago.
Lu Yunting handed him a small cloth bag that was wrapped tightly in his hand.
Fu Shen looked at him suspiciously, took the cloth bag, and gently squeezed it. "What's in it?"
Lu Yunting replied, "This is the money your father asked me to help sell the house. I'm giving it to you. Remember to keep it safe. Don't come looking for me if you lose it."
Upon hearing the words "selling the house," Grandma Yang walked over briskly and asked Lu Yunting, "Who did you sell Xue Shen's house to?"
At the same time, she wondered to herself, "The house has been sold, so why hasn't Huo Yunqi come over to go crazy?"
Lu Yunting glanced at Grandma Yang and slowly said, "Last time we went back from your place, on the way, Engineer Huo asked me to help find a person with a bad temper to buy his house. I had heard from my childhood friend that he wanted to buy a house but hadn't found a suitable one, so I recommended it to him. He knew about that house and readily agreed to buy it without even looking at it closely."
After a pause, he continued to explain, "At the time, we didn't have enough funds to turn over, and Mr. Huo was in a hurry to sell the house and didn't want Huo Yunqi and the others to stay for another day. I called him and asked if he would be willing to transfer the house to my childhood friend first, and I would pay him later. Mr. Huo agreed, and as soon as I got the money, I delivered it over without delay."
Fu Shen glanced at Lu Yunting and a teasing smile appeared on his lips: "It's been more than a month since I last saw you. You've become much more talkative and have even learned to explain things in detail. Did your boss arrange a blind date for you that you like?"
Lu Yunting: "..." Although he had explained so patiently and meticulously, with a slightly impure motive, wasn't it all because he hoped that Lu Yunting would come to Beicheng?
The hope is slim, but what if he comes to his senses someday?
So he said, "I've dedicated the rest of my life to the organization, why would I get married? That's not true."
Fu Shen: "You can't make promises you can't keep."
Lu Yunting: "The people who could control the important matters of my life are all gone. Whether I get married or not is up to me."
Fu Shen: "Who was it that just said they would entrust the rest of their life to the organization and that the organization couldn't take care of them?"
Grandma Yang listened to their back-and-forth conversation and smiled. When she learned that Huo Xueshen had sold the house to Lu Yunting's childhood friend, she finally felt relieved.
Afterwards, she returned to Wang Jingyi's side, and the two of them worked together seamlessly to separate Ping An's dry and wet diapers and put them into a bag.
Fu Shen carefully felt the money inside the bag through his hand. "There's quite a lot of money here."
Lu Yunting kept looking at Fu Shen as he listened to what he said.
“Your dad wanted me to bring you his savings book,” he shook his head helplessly. “How could I possibly get into the research base? He can’t even get out himself. Anyway, the money’s been delivered, I’m going back now.”
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave without hesitation.
Fu Shen stopped him, "Wait a minute."
Lu Yunting stopped and slowly turned around, his eyes filled with doubt: "Is there anything else?"
Fu Shen said calmly, "Take us to the train station."
Lu Yunting looked surprised, as if he had just learned that Fu Shen and the others were leaving. His voice was full of surprise: "You're going back to Bincheng today?"
No wonder he saw Yang Guohua's mother and wife packing up diapers as soon as he entered the door; they were about to leave.
