Later, he gradually sided entirely with his sister.
His sister was only 8 years old when he left home. They haven't had much contact over the years, and this is the first time his sister has asked him to come home immediately.
I wonder what happened?
Song Qing pondered to herself. She had heard from Bai Rongjun that Lu Yang doted on her, and that even her younger sister, Lu Ronghui, had to take a backseat.
But that's clearly not what Lu Yang meant.
She began to doubt the other things Bai Rongjun had said.
"Does Bai Rongjun have an older sister who is a teacher at Xinyi Middle School?"
"It seems so." Her name should be Bai Jiaying. Her mother got her this job through connections.
Song Qing certainly knew where Bai Jiaying worked.
"Are you familiar with her? I think she's not married yet."
Lu Yang didn't find the topic strange at all; on the contrary, he was secretly pleased. He didn't care what they talked about, as long as they chatted.
"Not really. My mom is more familiar with the Bai family."
You're about to get married to someone you don't even know well?
Song Qing had never dared to discuss this issue before, fearing that revealing her avoidance would make her a laughing stock. She was selfish and cowardly, and could live her life in a muddle as long as she didn't expose the truth.
But she felt tonight was a good time, and perhaps things weren't as she thought.
Lu Yang watched in surprise as Song Qing half-supported herself to get up and leaned over. The weather had gotten a bit warmer, and she wasn't wearing thermal underwear but rather ordinary long-sleeved pajamas with a slightly low neckline that revealed half of her smooth shoulder.
He glanced at her quickly before turning to meet Song Qing's gaze. The lights were already off, so Song Qing couldn't really see him, but Lu Yang could see her features.
"She's practically dying for you, and you still send her a letter back to comfort her, saying she'll find a chance to break up with me. You're saying you two aren't close?"
For a period of time, Song Qing was extremely self-loathing. She broke up with her ex-boyfriend and also broke up Lu Yang and Bai Jiaying. She felt that she was a mistake and that everyone would be doing well if it weren't for her.
Lu Yang was stunned, and he couldn't care less about anything else now.
He sat up abruptly. "What do you mean? I don't understand."
“Last August, Bai Jiaying was unexpectedly hospitalized. Actually, it was because you had a fight with your family and she drank medicine in a fit of anger.”
"What does her arguing with her family have to do with me?"
"Because she was deeply in love with you and couldn't forget you, she didn't want to go on blind dates arranged by her family. Her mother pressured her because she was getting old, and unexpectedly, she took the drug."
This was big news in their neighborhood. The news from the Bai family was that she had taken the wrong medicine while she was delirious from a cold, but Bai Rongjun had come to see her specifically and told her that it was because her sister couldn't forget Lu Yang that she hadn't gotten married all these years.
"Sister Song Qing, everyone knows why you married Brother Lu Yang before. Since you can't forget your ex, why don't you divorce Brother Lu Yang and let my sister be together?"
Song Qing had never been spoken to like that before. She was pampered by her whole family when she was young, and Bai Rongjun was scolding her as if she were pointing her finger at her nose.
You married Lu Yang because you were afraid the Chen family would implicate you, right? Now that the Chen family won't implicate you anymore, are you still going to cling to Lu Yang and not want them to be together?
"You believe her just because she says so? I have no relationship with her." Lu Yang felt like a huge burden had been inexplicably placed on his head. Had he even exchanged a few words with this Bai Jiaying before?
"Your mother said that you two had reached the point of discussing marriage, and you didn't send any more letters to Bai Jiaying after that?"
They hadn't exchanged letters much in the past few years, but she still recognized Lu Yang's handwriting, so Bai Rongjun brought the letter over to show her.
"I didn't. I didn't send her any letters. I don't even know about this. As for what my mother said, I don't know anything about it either."
Lu Yang felt as if it were snowing in June, and he was more wronged than Dou E.
He had never heard of any of these incidents.
Seeing that he seemed genuinely unaware, Song Qing took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Didn't you two secretly date for a year before you joined the army?"
"Tell me clearly what rumors you've been spreading to me behind my back," Lu Yang said coldly, sitting up abruptly, emphasizing the word "you all."
Song Qing felt a sudden shortness of breath for no apparent reason. She hadn't spread any rumors; it was all Bai Rongjun who said it.
That's all.
"Only?" Lu Yang chuckled in exasperation. "Only?" "When did you find out?"
"Not long after the marriage." To be precise, it was after the marriage that An'an took her vacation; before that, she always stayed at home and had little contact with the Lu family.
"Your first vacation after getting married?" Lu Yang thought for a moment, then asked through gritted teeth.
His vacation that time was relatively long; the two of them spent a total of half a month together, and during that time, things weren't as cold and distant as before.
But after he returned to his unit on that leave, he never received a reply to the letters he sent to Song Qing.
Why didn't you just ask me?
On the surface, she and Lu Yang did get along quite well during this period; she could sense that he was being very careful and accommodating towards her.
Lu Yang had lost his gentle demeanor from the past few days; he was now filled with anger, like a leopard about to pounce on her in a fit of rage.
"How do I ask?"
Not long after Lu Yang left, she discovered she was pregnant. When he returned from his next vacation, An An was already eight months pregnant.
Both of them fell silent.
"sorry."

Bai Jiamei waited at the Lu family's house for several days but didn't see Bai Rongjun's childhood sweetheart. Instead, she noticed the strange atmosphere at the Lu family's house.
