Chapter 195 Tell Yang Lizhen
Song Lubai saw Yang Lizhen, and Yang Lizhen also spotted Song Lubai in the crowd as soon as she entered the cafeteria.
When their eyes met, Song Lubai smiled and waved to her.
She made a decision quickly: she had to let Yang Lizhen know that Chen Weiliang was in trouble.
Ultimately, Chen Weiliang was beaten because of Yang Lizhen, and Yang Lizhen wanted a divorce because of Chen Weiliang. Song Lubai didn't know if Chen Weiliang was at fault, but the three of them should resolve their own issues.
Yang Lizhen saw Wei Yang sitting next to Song Lubai. After getting her food, she said to Zhou Mingying, "Mom, I won't sit and eat with you today."
Zhou Mingying nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
Young people can chat more when they sit down to eat together, and Zhou Mingying doesn't object to Yang Lizhen making friends in a proper way.
The tables in the cafeteria were round. There was another seat next to Wei Yang. Seeing Yang Lizhen coming this way, Song Lubai waved to her and then got up to switch seats with Wei Yang.
Without further hesitation, Yang Lizhen sat down next to Song Lubai.
"Song Lubai, is this your boyfriend?"
Song Lubai nodded. "Yes, he came from the Sixth Division today on official business. My boyfriend's surname is Wei, and his name is Wei Yang."
"Wei Yang, this is Yang Lizhen, our Minister Zhou's daughter."
Wei Yang nodded and greeted Yang Lizhen.
Yang Lizhen laughed and said, "You two really look like a perfect match."
The man was handsome and the woman was fair-skinned and beautiful; they were a pleasing couple to the eye.
After chatting about other things for a while, Song Lubai casually asked Wei Yang, "Do you still remember my fellow villager?"
Wei Yang didn't know which one she was referring to.
Song Lubai reminded him: "That time when the leaders went down to inspect, my fellow villager, surnamed Chen, was named Chen Weiliang."
Wei Yang asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Yang Lizhen's gaze also shifted over, and her hand holding the chopsticks stopped moving.
Song Lubai lowered her voice and said, "When I went to the grain bureau to deliver some documents, I found out that he had actually changed careers."
Wei Yang didn't think it was a big deal. It's normal for soldiers to be demobilized, and besides, the military and regiments are different from other places.
Seeing that she seemed hesitant and hadn't finished speaking, he asked encouragingly, "And then?"
Song Lubai's voice was even softer: "He was beaten by someone, and he's lying in the hospital now, his life hanging in the balance. The doctor told me to notify his family, in case something happens to him..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yang Lizhen's chopsticks fell to the ground.
Everyone at the table looked at her.
Yang Lizhen's expression was extremely unnatural. "I didn't mean to, Comrade Song Lu. Please continue. How is he now? I remember he was perfectly fine when I saw him last time?"
Song Lubai shook her head, "I've been too busy these past few days and haven't been to see him yet. I don't know if he's alive or dead."
Yang Lizhen's voice was shrill: "He's from your hometown, after all. If something happens to him, you have to go and see him no matter what."
Song Lubai sighed, "I've already tried to get someone to notify his family and I've also written a letter back to his hometown. I've been so busy these past few days that it's already dark by the time I finish, I really haven't had time to visit him."
"Comrade Yang, are you acquainted with Chen Weiliang?"
Yang Lizhen awkwardly tried to cover it up, saying, "I knew him before, but I haven't seen him recently, so I didn't know he had an accident."
Song Lubai shook her head and sighed, "I don't know who was so ruthless as to almost beat Chen Weiliang to death. When I went to see him that time, sigh... you didn't see what he looked like, his face was whiter than paper."
Yang Lizhen finished her meal quickly and left without even saying goodbye to Zhou Mingying.
Once outside the cafeteria and standing in the courtyard, Wei Yang asked definitively, "You said that to her on purpose? Why? What's their relationship?"
Song Lubai asked, "Do you want to come to the hospital with me? I wonder how he is now."
Wei Yang glanced at his watch. "Let's go, we have one more hour."
On the way, Song Lubai told Wei Yang what had happened.
"What's the real situation between Chen Weiliang and her? Could Yang Lizhen still be seeing Chen Weiliang after getting married? If she really liked him, why did she marry someone else in the first place?"
Wei Yang said with certainty, "It must be that my parents disagree."
Song Lubai said, "Your third sister didn't agree to you and me in the first place, did she?"
Wei Yang looked at her in surprise, as if asking, "How did you know?"
Song Lubai snorted, "I'm not stupid. When your third sister first saw me, she looked me up and down without a trace of joy in her eyes. On the way to the restaurant, she didn't even look at me properly. That means she doesn't like me."
Wei Yang said guiltily, "You're overthinking it. If she didn't approve, she wouldn't have bought you the watch in advance."
The truth is that after meeting with his third sister, he strongly warned her not to ruin his relationship with his partner.
The siblings were angry with each other for half a day as soon as they met.
Wei Zhao was prepared for this, knowing that Wei Yang was not the type to change his mind easily, so she had no choice but to take out her watch and tell him that it was a gift for his girlfriend.
The siblings then made up.
Wei Yang knew that his third sister did not genuinely accept his girlfriend, but he didn't care. Anyway, his third sister wouldn't be living with him in the future, so whether she liked him or not was unimportant.
Just like his third sister's husband, whom he also couldn't accept, she still married him despite his family's advice and objections, even though he objected at the time.
Wei Yang felt there was no need to tell Song Lubai the inside story, even though she had keenly sensed it.
He emphasized, "Whether she likes me or not is not important. I like you, and that's enough. You're my girlfriend, and I won't let anyone bully you."
Hearing these words so unexpectedly, Song Lubai's ears slowly began to heat up.
My heart was pounding, and I couldn't suppress the joy and shyness welling up inside me.
A smile crept onto her flushed face. Song Lubai quickly took a few steps forward and coughed lightly, "This is a public place, Comrade Wei, please watch your words."
Her smiling face looked more beautiful than roses in May or June, and he responded softly.
When the two arrived at the hospital, Yang Lizhen was already there.
Standing outside the ward, the two heard Yang Lizhen crying.
Even with her peek out, Song Lubai couldn't see clearly whether Chen Weiliang was awake or not.
The two decided to go to the doctor's office to ask about the situation.
The man was still lying in the hospital bed. Song Lubai felt that Chen Weiliang was definitely not dead, but she didn't know his condition.
The doctor said, "Chen Weiliang's condition has improved considerably in the past two days. His former supervisor helped adjust his medication; otherwise..."
Song Lubai asked, "Then he's out of danger now, right?"
The doctor shook his head. "It's hard to say. It depends on the later treatment and recovery. Proper care is essential, there can't be any infection, and the medication needs to be delivered as soon as possible. His former supervisor said the medication has to be transferred from Beijing or Shanghai. If the medication can't be guaranteed, our hospital can't guarantee his condition either. He told me to suggest that once he's recovered a bit, it's best to go to a hospital in Beijing or Shanghai for another checkup..."
