Chapter 797 We Are a Family
Lu Yuanqiu said, "They're divorced now, and the mistress has successfully taken over. His eldest son, left by his first wife, is currently in jail."
Bai Songzhe was a little surprised when he heard this, but after a while he said, "Serves you right."
Lu Yuanqiu: "You deserve it."
"His eldest son did a lot of evil things. In fact, it was me and my uncles who sent him to jail." Lu Yuanqiu suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth and whispered to Bai Songzhe.
Bai Songzhe looked up at him, and Bai Qingxia noticed that there was a smile on his father's face for the first time today.
It had been a long time since she saw him smile so normally. Bai Qingxia felt both happy and strange when she saw him.
"Well done." Bai Songzhe nodded, then turned to Lu Yuanqiu and said, "By the way, Xiaoqiu, thank you for protecting me. I remember the incident at the junior high school gate very clearly."
Lu Yuanqiu responded with a smile: "It should be."
"That was a cool kick."
"You're also very handsome, sitting there rain or shine waiting for your daughter to get out of school."
The conversation between the two men returned to the atmosphere that Bai Qingxia expected.
Lu Yuanqiu pulled his chair closer to the bed, and then told Bai Songzhe that Bai Ruoan's car accident had been reopened for investigation. Just as he finished speaking, there was a noise at the door of the ward. The three of them looked over there and saw Aunt Zhang and Lu Douqing walking in.
Aunt Zhang first glanced at Bai Songzhe, then raised a thermos lunch box and said to Bai Qingxia, "I made chicken soup for... Lao Bai. Let him drink it while it's hot."
Lu Douqing came out from behind Aunt Zhang, raised her hands and said, "It's delicious."
It was obvious that he had drunk it secretly.
Bai Qingxia took the chicken soup from Aunt Zhang and found her father sitting there, looking at Zhang Ru with a smile. Zhang Ru was a little at a loss for a moment, but still walked towards the bed. Seeing this, Lu Yuanqiu immediately gave her the chair.
"It's okay, Xiaoqiu, you sit down."
"Please sit down."
Zhang Ru was forced to sit on the chair by Lu Yuanqiu, and she was still too embarrassed to look Bai Songzhe in the eye.
Bai Qingxia was opening her lunch box at the side. She turned around and looked at this scene with a faint smile on her face.
After so long, she actually regarded Aunt Zhang as a family member. When she was not around, it was Aunt Zhang who took good care of her father.
Taking a bath, changing clothes, going to the toilet, cooking, chatting, taking a walk to relieve boredom, etc., day after day, all year round, this is not something that ordinary people can do. Perhaps it is really as Lu Yuanqiu said, Aunt Zhang has some different feelings towards Dad.
But Bai Qingxia had no objection, and she even hoped that Aunt Zhang could become her real family in the future.
"Old Bai, you... you..." Zhang Ru clenched her hands awkwardly, forcing a smile on her face. Her expression and eyes were carefully observing the other person, and she asked, "Are you okay... Do you still remember me?"
Of course she knew that Bai Songzhe had recovered, but she cared more about the second half of the sentence.
Bai Songzhe looked at her and smiled for the second time today: "I remember, of course I remember, how could I forget, sister Zhang Ru, you have worked so hard these past few years."
Bai Songzhe was in his normal state, and the changes in his voice, words, and smile attracted Zhang Ru so much that she was stunned for a moment and forgot to respond.
It took her a few seconds to react, her face flushed slightly, she looked away, shook her head and laughed: "What do you mean by hard work? You sound... distant."
Her hands were still clenched tightly on her legs.
Lu Yuanqiu could see that Aunt Zhang was a little nervous.
He could actually guess what Aunt Zhang was nervous about.
Aunt Zhang and the former Bai Qingxia are actually the same type of people. Bai Qingxia had said this a long time ago.
Bai Songzhe nodded repeatedly, with a genuine apology on his face: "Yes, I shouldn't say that, it seems distant. We have been a family for a long time. Whether I am well or not, we will always be a family."
Zhang Ru's clenched fingers stopped moving, she lowered her head, and tears fell without a word.
She felt that she and her daughter were integrated into this family only because they helped take care of the sick Bai Songzhe. Now that Bai Songzhe has recovered, she has naturally lost her role.
However, if she took her daughter away from this home, would she really have to go back to the helpless life she had before, with only the two of them relying on each other? During the time when Bai Songzhe was about to recover, she was always hesitant about her position in this family.
As for the feelings hidden in her heart, it was a bit ridiculous. If she left this home, she couldn't even raise her own daughter. What right did she have to think about that unattainable feeling?
Bai Songzhe had obviously guessed what she was thinking, so he said, "We'll always be a family." This moment touched Zhang Ru's tear glands. The normal Brother Bai she longed for in her heart must be a gentle and considerate man, otherwise how could he have such an enviable happy marriage with such a beautiful and outstanding woman? Sure enough, Brother Bai was just as she thought, a good man...
Seeing Aunt Zhang lowering her head and crying, Bai Qingxia quickly took out a tissue and handed it to her. She understood what Aunt Zhang was thinking, but she couldn't speak. She didn't know how to comfort a sensitive and inferior person. If she knew, she wouldn't have had such a difficult time before.
Lu Yuanqiu: "By the way, Uncle Bai, Ranran has already gone to a special school. Do you remember this? I heard that she has learned quite a few words in school."
"Remember, remember, I remember all of this. I must cure Ranran's eyes. Now that I'm well, I must let Ranran live a normal life."
Seeing Zhang Ru crying, Bai Songzhe, who was at a loss, immediately responded to Lu Yuanqiu's words. He did not make a verbal promise just to comfort her, he would definitely do what he said.
Zhang Ru wiped her tears, understanding Bai Songzhe's intentions. She shook her head repeatedly, "It's okay, Brother Bai. My mother and I are already very grateful and lucky to have the life we have now. You don't have to sacrifice so much for us."
"Why are you saying this? Zhang Ru, we are a family. Don't say such things again next time." Bai Songzhe quickly moved forward, took Zhang Ru's hands, and warned her seriously.
Zhang Ru was still crying, but a happy smile appeared on her face.
Actually, we should hug each other at this time... Lu Yuanqiu said in his heart, but it was obvious that Bai Songzhe and Zhang Ru each had something to worry about.
Bai Songzhe believes that there are differences between men and women, while Zhang Ru still has an inferiority complex.
But they are all equally kind.
Listening to conversations between people who have kindness in their hearts is a very healing process. Lu Yuanqiu saw Bai Qingxia smiling, but there were tears in the corners of Bai Qingxia's eyes.
"Hurry up and drink the chicken soup. I've been stewing it for a long time." Zhang Ru reminded him and gently pulled her hand away from Bai Songzhe's palm.
"good."
"It tastes good." Bai Songzhe commented immediately after taking a sip.
Zhang Ru smiled embarrassedly when she heard this, like a little girl.
At this time, Bai Songzhe glanced at the woman who was ten years younger than him, and had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to confirm it.
