Chapter 717 The Third Explanation
These were indeed the questions circled in red pen. Lu Yuanqiu glanced at them roughly, his mind went blank, and he found that he had almost forgotten all the knowledge points.
The kind that can't be poured out even a little bit.
Seeing his brother pondering for a long time without being able to speak, Lu Yidong seemed to have finally found a place to vent his anger. He taunted him, "You don't know how to do it? A top student from Zhuhai University?"
Lu Yuanqiu felt humiliated and argued back, "Shouldn't I think about the solution first? Who can figure it out just by looking at it?"
As soon as the words fell, Bai Qingxia started writing down the solution process on the draft paper, and the brother and sister looked at her in a daze.
You're going to do it right after you say you're going to slap your boyfriend in the face, my dear Xia Xia... Lu Yuanqiu licked his lips.
Lu Yidong then turned around to look at his brother and chuckled triumphantly. Lu Yuanqiu choked: "..."
"She...is not a human being." Lu Yuanqiu tried to excuse himself.
Bai Qingxia stopped writing, raised her head and looked over with a slightly annoyed look.
Lu Yuanqiu immediately smiled: "Xia Xia is a goddess~ A goddess is naturally omniscient and omnipotent."
Bai Qingxia wanted to show some expression, but seeing that Lu Yidong's face became tense again, she pretended not to hear Lu Yuanqiu's praise and continued to write the questions with her head down.
After writing down the solution process, she took the paper to Lu Yidong and explained it to him. Lu Yidong pretended to listen attentively.
The two spoke politely, but the unfamiliarity between them was evident.
Looking at this scene, Lu Yuanqiu suddenly remembered the cute look of short-haired Lu Yidong three years ago when she enthusiastically took Bai Qingxia's arm and repeatedly called her "Sister Bai", while Bai Qingxia smiled at her shyly.
If we say that things and people have changed, it is truly reflected in the relationship between the two of them now.
"You teach first, I'm going to go out." Lu Yuanqiu said.
Bai Qingxia looked back at him and nodded.
Lu Tian in the living room raised his neck and asked, "Why did you come out?"
"I've been eliminated by the times, Dad."
The tutoring in the bedroom continued until dinner time.
After dinner, Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia planned to go out for a walk and called Lu Yido, but the girl didn't come out. She even retorted from the room, "Who has nothing better to do than to be a light bulb?"
Just as Lu Tian was about to raise his foot to follow, he silently retracted his foot...
The evening breeze is pleasant, and willows are swaying on the banks of the Happy River.
Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia were holding hands on the side of the road. Each of them stepped on a white line, their bodies tilted, and they walked forward carefully as if they were walking on two single-plank bridges.
At this moment, as if the line was disconnected and reconnected, rows of street lights lit up without warning.
They looked up, having the rare opportunity to witness this scene with their own eyes.
"Dongdong seems to have never accepted the fact that we are together. Who said she doesn't have any boys she cares about? You are the boy she cares about." Bai Qingxia continued to walk along the white line.
Lu Yuanqiu responded: "Actually, I think she cares about the two of us. She probably thought we were just good friends before. You know how silly she was before, how could she even think about love."
"One day we suddenly announced our relationship, and the relationship between the three of us suddenly changed. Not only did she become cold towards you, she also became cold towards me for a while. We were both in Zhucheng and didn't come back for a long time. She must have thought that we were living a carefree life over there, and had completely forgotten about her in Lucheng..."
"My relationship with her has improved a bit, probably because I talked to her. When the holidays come, you guys just have more fun."
Bai Qingxia nodded and added, "When we get along with her in the future, we should be more restrained and not act too intimate."
Lu Yuanqiu suddenly laughed: "She will adapt to it herself. In fact, she will be able to see things more clearly once she falls in love."
Bai Qingxia turned her head: "Don't you want her to have a relationship?"
Lu Yuanqiu stopped, and Bai Qingxia stopped as well.
Lu Yuanqiu: "I don't want to, but if she meets true love and her true destiny, I can't stop it even if I want to. This is her destiny."
It turns out that Lu Yuanqiu was not killed in one blow... Bai Qingxia muttered to herself in her heart. She retracted her gaze, took Lu Yuanqiu's hand, and took a small step forward.
After returning home, washing up and lying down, Lu Yuanqiu received feedback from Zheng Yifeng.
"Zheng Yifeng": My grandparents said that my mother was robbed in a home in the United States and suffered a fatal injury to the back of her head.
Lu Yuanqiu immediately sat up straight in bed.
Lu Yuanqiu: Why is there a third theory? Is it the flu or a home invasion?
"Zheng Yifeng": The influenza claim was a lie they used to fool Li Bowen. You can't tell the truth to a child.
The burglary and the "murder" in the letter do correspond to each other, but for some reason, perhaps because he has heard too many versions, Lu Yuanqiu now remains skeptical about the "burglary".
『Lu Yuanqiu』: Has the criminal been caught?
『Zheng Yifeng』: No.
Could it be that Lao Zheng had spent those five years looking for a criminal? Lu Yuanqiu couldn't understand why they had gone to such lengths even after their divorce, but perhaps there were details he didn't know about.
"Zheng Yifeng": I got the phone number and address of one of my mother's good friends when she was in the United States.
『Lu Yuanqiu』: What are you going to do?
"Zheng Yifeng": There's nothing I can do. I can only tell my second uncle about this. My second uncle still doesn't know why my father went to the United States for those five years. Let's see if he can trace my father's location through this phone call.
"Lu Yuanqiu": Okay, tell me if there is any new situation, I will see if I can help.
『Zheng Yifeng』: No problem.
In fact, Lu Yuanqiu would rather believe that the factor that led to Lao Zheng's second departure was the changes in Bai Qingxia's family.
Although an accidental car accident may have nothing to do with Lao Zheng's disappearance, the timing of their occurrence seems too coincidental.
Lu Yuanqiu even asked Bai Qingxia and Zheng Yifeng in detail. Bai Ruoan's car accident and Lao Zheng's disappearance coincidentally happened in the same month.
Lu Yuanqiu was also curious about one thing, which was why Zheng Yifeng's grandparents had not visited him for so many years.
Since Zheng Yifeng didn't bring it up, Lu Yuanqiu gave up asking. After all, this was a private matter.
However, since this meeting, Zheng Yifeng said that his grandparents went to his house in person to meet Ye Hui.
Lu Yuanqiu thought it was some bloody drama of fighting for child custody, but it wasn't. Zheng Yifeng's grandparents just expressed their gratitude and condolences to Ye Hui very seriously, thanking Ye Hui for raising Zheng Yifeng alone over the years, which was really not easy.
This time, Zheng Yifeng revealed why his grandparents had not come to see him for so many years. It turned out that his grandparents had a very unpleasant quarrel with Old Zheng because of something. The two old people vowed never to meet this son-in-law again, and naturally cut off contact with Zheng Yifeng.
Only now did they realize that Lao Zheng had disappeared for many years.
