Back in the ward, seeing Bai Linglong talking about what had just happened, Lu Jingchuan said to his cousin, "Taozi, go to the Public Security Bureau and see if your aunt has taken any action. Let's chop off one of Bai Jianren's arms today."
"good."
Song Tao quickly stood up, said something to his elders and left immediately.
The Bai family mother and daughter were both confused. Bai Linglong then asked, "Lu Jingchuan, what actions has my aunt taken?"
"The man who was watching you in the hospital this morning is Liu Meng. The Public Security Bureau has been keeping an eye on him for a long time. He's the leader of an underground gang in Tancheng and is also involved in black market business. He's been involved in a lot of illegal activities."
"Previously, the Public Security Bureau hadn't been able to find out the identity of his backers, so they didn't arrest him. They wanted to use him as bait to lure out the fish. Today, he came to the hospital to stare at you, which actually exposed the person behind him. There's no need to keep him around anymore."
Bai Linglong understood. Thinking about the two people who had just protected Bai Jianren, they didn't look like good people either. She said, "Those two people just now are probably birds of the same feather."
"They are going to handle household registration matters now. Let them stay here to do their work and we will deal with them after they are done."
From what they said just now, Lu Jingchuan was certain that these two people were also ruthless characters. They must have a criminal record like Liu Meng. Then he would let his aunt take action to wipe them out.
"Xiao Lu, please thank your aunt for us. When I get better, I'll bring Linglong to thank her."
Bai Shuixian had just chatted with Song Tao and had guessed that his parents were both high-ranking officials of the Tancheng Municipal Party Committee. Her and her mother's affairs were really thanks to his family's help, and she would always remember this kindness.
Lu Jingchuan smiled and nodded, then asked, "Auntie, what would you like to eat tonight?"
"Just buy some porridge in the cafeteria." Bai Shuixian didn't want to cause him trouble.
"You've been seriously injured by the surgery, so you need to get more nutrition. The porridge in the cafeteria isn't nutritious enough. I'll go back to my aunt's house and make some soup for you." Lu Jingchuan made the arrangements and asked Bai Linglong, "Linglong, what do you want to eat?"
"Can I order whatever I want?" Bai Linglong grinned.
"Anything."
Lu Jingchuan liked her smile, which was sunny and contagious. Looking at her pure and clean smile, his mood also soared.
Since she could order whatever she wanted, she didn't hesitate. "I want to eat meat."
In her previous life, she had eaten too many delicacies from land and sea and had little interest in pork. But this body was different. She had not tasted meat for many years and was very craving for the greasy pork. She wished she could have a bowl of it right now.
"Okay, I'll cook you some braised pork."
Lu Jingchuan thought it was getting late and planned to go back to cook. "Auntie, Linglong, I'll go back first and come back later."
"Okay, Xiao Lu, thank you for your hard work." Bai Narcissus smiled slightly.
Bai Linglong took the lunch box and walked him to the door. She watched him leave before turning back.
"Linglong, do you have some feelings for Xiao Lu?"
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Bai Shuixian could see what her daughter was thinking. She looked at Xiao Lu with a very different look, and the smile she gave him was especially bright and beautiful.
Bai Linglong Xinzi wasn't from this generation, so she wasn't as shy as her peers. She did have a good impression of Lu Jingchuan, and answered frankly, "Mom, I think he's pretty good. My first impression was really good. He's definitely my type."
Seeing her speak so bluntly, Bai Shuixian laughed: "You, have no shame."
Bai Linglong grinned and asked her, "Mom, what do you think of him?"
"I feel the same as you do. He makes a good first impression."
Lu Jingchuan's qualifications were impeccable, a standout among the younger generation. Thinking about his profession, she couldn't help but feel a bit worried. "Linglong, he's a soldier. He often has to travel for missions and work. During wars, he even has to charge into battle on the front lines, constantly facing danger. Being a soldier's wife requires a strong mental endurance and the same unwavering faith and dedication. Being a military wife is truly not easy. Compared to other women, you have to be even more independent and strong. You should think about it carefully."
"Mom, I know."
Bai Linglong had thought about this from the moment she had the idea. She smiled faintly and said, "Mom, being an adult isn't easy. Every job requires perseverance and helplessness. If he chooses to take this path, I'm willing to work with him to face the difficulties and challenges in the future."
Hearing her words, Bai Shuixian understood that she had made a decision and said nothing more, "You just met, so get to know each other better."
"good."
Bai Linglong nodded in response. Seeing that she was in good spirits, she tentatively asked, "Mom, can you tell me about my biological dad?"
Bai Shuixian had just recovered her memory, and the memory of her ex-husband had just been awakened. What happened in the past seemed to have happened yesterday. The familiar face of that person and those things that did not leave a good impression appeared in her mind.
Thinking of the past, the smile on her face faded slightly, and her voice was a little light: "He is different from Bai Jianren. He is a good man. He did not cheat or betray during his marriage. He is just soft-hearted and not good at handling family relationships. When faced with conflicts and disputes within the family, he always tries to smooth things over and avoid them."
"Actually, I'm not a pushy, competitive person. My family was well off back then, so I didn't need to compete with my sisters-in-law. I didn't pay attention to those messy things, and I was able to get by."
"The main reason for my divorce wasn't a conflict over trivial family matters, but rather our own ideals and pursuits."
"Your father has a good business sense and is very ambitious. He wants to develop his career abroad, but I don't want to go. We have a disagreement on this matter."
"Your grandparents were strong-willed and traditional. They thought I didn't put my husband first. They criticized me for not getting pregnant after two years of marriage and for not letting my parents support my in-laws. I had a big argument with them, and your dad tried to smooth things over, which left me heartbroken. Later, out of respect for him going abroad to pursue careers, I took the initiative to file for a divorce."
She didn't explain the details, but Bai Linglong had a vague guess. Divorce was very rare in that era, and no one would initiate divorce unless they were completely heartbroken. Frowning, she asked, "Is he particularly obedient to his mother? Does she have the final say in everything at home?"
"That's not the case."
Bai Shuixian shook her head, her expression somewhat indifferent: "He is a little soft-hearted, and he doesn't always listen to them. He has his own ideas and opinions in his work and career."
"He's not very good at handling family matters. He puts all his energy into work and doesn't want to make enemies. He's kind and generous at heart, but he always chooses to suffer the consequences when there's a family dispute."
"He's not a bad person. He has his own way of doing things. In fact, many of his actions are correct and can avoid a lot of tit-for-tat."
"It's just that being his wife is very tiring. I often hide in the house and sulk, and in the end, I still don't get a good word from him. My life is extremely frustrating, and the pain is unimaginable to outsiders."
