Chapter 231 Embrace
The dishes were finally prepared after a considerable amount of time.
They become less talkative during meals.
Song Lubai was extremely hungry this time. While she was eating, a figure she hadn't seen in a long time silently stood beside her.
Seeing the large foot on the ground, Song Lubai's gaze slowly moved upwards, and then she saw Wei Yang, who looked travel-worn.
"Dad, Mom, why did you come here without saying a word?"
Wei Zhao looked at his parents, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, in disbelief.
"Shaohua, this is your maternal grandparents, and this is... um, your future aunt. Please call her Auntie for now."
After Wei Zhao finished speaking to the three children, the three children obediently greeted each of them one by one.
Song Lubai quickly put down her chopsticks and went to the window to get a bowl, and then asked for rice.
Wei Yang followed her over and looked her up and down, saying, "I went to the supply and marketing department earlier and heard that you were taken away yesterday."
Song Lubai's previous heartache had mostly dissipated under Qin Zhi's comforting words, but hearing his concern now made her feel a little sore again.
"I'm fine now. Chen Weiliang and your parents helped me. I'll tell you the rest later."
Wei Yang felt that she looked much thinner than before he left, with bigger eyes and a sharper chin.
"I also have something to say to you."
Song Lubai said, "Then let's go to my dorm later."
Qin Zhi looked at her daughter, grandson, and granddaughter and asked about their situation.
When Wei Zhao saw his biological mother, the fear and worry that had been suppressed for so many days were finally released, and he buried his face in Qin Zhi's shoulder and cried.
Qin Zhi comforted her, "Things will get better slowly. We'll be at ease knowing you can stay here peacefully with Wei Yang."
Even though he wasn't usually that concerned about his children's affairs, Wei Mingyuan softened his tone and said, "Once we've made all the arrangements, we'll send you some living expenses. At that time, you'll all be relying on Wei Yang for your livelihood, and he won't have an easy time either."
Wei Yang said, "No need, my salary is enough."
Wei Mingyuan said, "Anyway, we don't need the money."
Qin Zhi rolled her eyes. Wasn't this how he expressed concern?
The whole family chatted and reminisced about what had happened before, staying at the restaurant until lunchtime before leaving.
At the restaurant entrance, Song Lubai politely said, "Uncle, Auntie, let's go to my dorm and talk for a while."
Wei Mingyuan shook his head: "We have to go."
Wei Mingyuan was not used to his children's closeness and dependence, and Wei Zhao's crying and clingy behavior was unbearable for him.
After talking for a while, Wei Yang's parents left by car, and Song Lubai took Wei Yang, her siblings, and the child to her dormitory.
Sun Hong, who was eating pancakes in her dormitory, saw that there were many of them and considerately went back to someone else's dormitory, making room for them.
Compared to their last meeting, Wei Zhao was dressed exceptionally simply today, but his clothes were without a single patch, and he still looked respectable.
"Shaohua, take your younger siblings to play at the entrance, don't go too far."
After sending the child away, Wei Zhao looked at Song Lubai and said, "I have to apologize to you here."
Song Lubai looked at her in surprise, wondering what she had done wrong.
Wei Zhao continued, "For my sake, Wei Yang is preparing to apply for a transfer to the Southern Frontier. If you are not willing, we will think of another way."
After a moment of silence, Song Lubai said, "I'm willing to go with them."
It wasn't that she was confused; she was just still shaken by recent events. When she was with Wei Yang, she could sleep soundly at night.
Wei Zhao was surprised that she agreed so readily.
Wei Zhao's reaction made Song Lubai a little embarrassed. Wei Yang, who hadn't spoken until now, said to Wei Zhao, "I'll talk to her for a while. Sis, why don't you go out for a walk first?"
After Wei Zhao left, Wei Yang closed the door and sat down next to Song Lubai.
Song Lubai hugged his waist tightly and said, "I was so scared yesterday. If your parents hadn't come, I probably wouldn't have made it out today..."
Wei Yang felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this and comforted her, "It's all over now, don't be afraid."
He rested his head on top of hers, gently patted her back, and coaxed her in a low, tender voice for a while.
After a moment, Song Lubai asked, "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
Wei Yang wiped away the tear stains under her eyes with his rough fingertips. "Let's go get our marriage certificate."
"I should have spoken up, but my third sister knew I couldn't, so she spoke for me. She was worried you wouldn't want to come with me, and I know how much you value your work..."
He knew that she would not easily give up her job and leave him, and he was always uneasy about it.
Song Lubai shook her head, "You don't know what the situation is like in the ministry right now. It's a mess. They're doing this today and that tomorrow."
"Wei Yang, you can't hit people anymore."
Wei Yang was amused by her words. "Is that all you ask of me?"
Song Lubai gently pinched him, "If you treat me badly, I will divorce you. If you hit someone, I definitely can't beat you."
Hearing her speak, Wei Yang felt incredibly sad. He hugged her tighter and tried to touch her cheek.
This was the first time Wei Yang had seen her like this, and he felt a pang of pity for her. He wished he could keep her by his side every day and never let her out of his sight, so that she wouldn't be harmed by others.
"After I go back and file the marriage application, we'll get our marriage certificate and then I'll start working on the transfer. Once we get there, I'll find you a new job, and I'll make sure you're not unemployed."
Song Lubai felt that he understood her, and nodded while nestled in his arms.
"Did you go see my mom? How is she now?"
Wei Yang said, "Let me explain slowly, don't rush. That person was arrested before we left..."
After he finished speaking, Song Lubai breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright."
"Is my mom really not going to continue living with Lin Dahai?"
Wei Yang nodded. "Before we left, your mother's attitude was very firm. She probably won't turn back."
Song Lubai then recounted the recent situation in Shicheng.
Having said what needed to be said, the two huddled together and fell silent.
Despite the sweltering heat, the two of them felt no discomfort and simply felt at ease snuggling together.
Until Wei Zhao knocked on the door.
"Xiao Song, Section Chief Lu from your supply and marketing cooperative is looking for you. He wants you to come to his office."
Song Lubai raised her head and glanced at Wei Yang shyly. Wei Yang then tidied the stray hairs that were sticking to her forehead.
"Show me what Feng Li looks like in a bit."
Wei Yang not only planned to deal with Feng Li, but also intended to go see Chen Weiliang.
If it weren't for Chen Weiliang yesterday, who knows what those people might have done to Song Lubai. He should sincerely thank Chen Weiliang.
When I arrived at the office, the documents from the file folder were laid out on the table.
Lu Xingye asked about the source of the information, and Song Lubai answered truthfully. After she finished speaking, she asked, "Do you think these are real or fake?"
Lu Xingye shook his head. "Don't laugh at me, but to be honest, I can't tell if it's true or false. But my suggestion is to burn it. What do you think?"
He couldn't tell if the materials were genuine or fake, but he knew who was a conscientious person.
