Chapter 31: My Future Sister-in-Law is My Cousin

Chapter 31: My Future Sister-in-Law is My Cousin

Just as Ye Qingbai got used to her speeding, the motorcycle stopped by the roadside. "You can get off now."

"Oh, okay." Ye Qingbai didn't expect it to be so close; he hadn't even had a chance to sit down properly before they arrived.

He took a long stride and got off the car.

Lu Shan locked her car and quickly headed towards Jishengtang.

She wanted to see how Bai Zhi would cover up her lie when Ye Tiandong, Ye Lao's son, came to expose the fraud himself.

The two entered Jishengtang and were stunned by what they saw.

What's going on?

Lu Shan looked even more astonished. Why was Boss Ye crying?

"Uncle, don't cry, please get up."

Bai Zhi pulled up the man who was squatting there with his head down and a sad expression.

Lu Shan never expected things to turn out this way.

Is Ye Tiandong really Bai Zhi's uncle?

Even more shocked than Lu Shan was Ye Qingbai, who followed him in.

He recognized the man with tears streaming down his face and exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle?"

Ye Tiandong heard a familiar voice. He wiped his face, turned his head, and saw his nephew standing at the door, wearing military pants and a military shirt.

He was equally puzzled, "Qingbai, what are you doing here?"

"Uncle, I should be asking you that, what are you doing here?"

Ye Qingbai glanced at Ye Tiandong, then his gaze fell on Bai Zhi.

He suddenly realized something, and his expression turned strange. "The person my company commander was talking about who bullied my sister-in-law, could it be you, Uncle?"

Ye Qingbai was terrified by this realization.

His dark face was serious and frightened. He secretly glanced at Bai Zhi and warned Ye Tiandong in a low voice, "Uncle, you can't do anything reckless outside. She's my future sister-in-law."

Ye Tiandong stared at him like he was an idiot and asked, "Huh?"

Seeing Ye Tiandong's clueless attitude, Ye Qingbai had a headache and continued to explain in a low voice, "Dr. Bai Zhi is my company commander's future wife. My company commander, do you understand?"

Ye Tiandong: I don't understand.

"Uncle, please stop before it's too late. I'll pretend this never happened and I won't say anything when I get back."

Ye Tiandong kicked him, "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Bai Zhi, who was standing aside watching the two grown men whispering to each other with their heads clasped together, spoke up to explain, "Comrade Ye, you've misunderstood."

She introduced him, "This is my uncle."

"What the heck?" This time it was Ye Qingbai's turn to be stunned. "Uncle?"

He looked at her with a bewildered expression. "No, there are no women in my family. I mean, there were no girls in my father's generation. Where did this niece come from?"

"My mother died early. She was sent to the countryside when she was young and passed away there."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's explanation, Ye Qingbai blankly uttered an "oh".

So what Bai Zhi meant was that she was the daughter of his cousin who died young?

Upon hearing this news, Ye Qingbai was momentarily unable to accept it. He looked at Ye Tiandong for confirmation, "Uncle, is this true?"

"How would I know? I've never even seen this girl before."

Ye Tiandong was still holding the two halves of the jade pendant in his hand.

He would put the jade pendant back together and then put it apart again.

My heart is filled with complex emotions that are difficult to express.

He didn't know whether he should believe Bai Zhi's words.

If you say this girl is lying, then she does look very much like her sister.

He still had the token in his hand.

But if she really was her sister's daughter, Ye Tiandong still couldn't believe this sudden news.

This is so sudden.

He wasn't prepared at all. Leaving home

Ye Tiandong still couldn't accept it and couldn't believe that his sister had gotten married when she was sent to the countryside.

The key point is that his sister never mentioned this in her letter back then.

However, the situation was turbulent at that time, and his parents were both in a cowshed. He was still a child and was fostered by his second uncle. His sister's letters passed through many hands before they finally received them.

Perhaps my sister wrote another letter, but they just didn't receive it.

Compared to Ye Tiandong, Ye Qingbai was much more receptive.

"My goodness, are we really that destined to meet?" He looked at Bai Zhi, his eyes shining. "Future sister-in-law, you're actually my aunt's daughter? That means you're my cousin?"

Ye Qingbai clapped his hands, overjoyed. "Wow, what an incredible coincidence! My company commander's wife is actually my cousin! Does that mean I've become the company commander's brother-in-law?"

Ye Qingbai squinted his small eyes, already imagining the scene of Lu Ye calling him brother-in-law.

Ye Tiandong slapped him on the forehead. "You brat, calm down."

Ye Qingbai was jolted awake, his nonchalant expression vanished, and he looked at Ye Tiandong, saying, "Uncle, since my future sister-in-law says she's my aunt's daughter, then she must be right. She's my company commander's future wife, how could she lie like that?"

Ye Tiandong looked at Bai Zhi's face, which resembled his sister's, with a probing expression. Her eyes were firm and bright, and her slender figure stood straight, exuding an air of composure and humility.

He certainly doesn't seem like a scammer.

Bai Zhi spoke up at the right moment, "I have already written to my grandfather. Once he receives the letter, he will definitely come to find me and prove my identity."

Upon hearing her words, Ye Tiandong's expression did not soften.

After a long while, he suddenly said to Bai Zhi, "Give me the exact address of your hometown."

Ye Qingbai instantly understood Ye Tiandong's intention, "Uncle, are you going to my cousin's hometown?"

"right."

Although Bai Zhi does look somewhat like his sister, the world is a strange place, and he needs to speak with evidence.

In addition, he did want to visit the place where his sister had been sent to work in the countryside.

I received a letter from my sister years ago, informing me that she had passed away. In the letter, she mentioned that we should not pay our respects to her, and that her ashes should be scattered into the river, so that they could pretend that she never existed.

Following her last wish, everyone never mentioned anything about her again.

In addition, there was a rift between him and the old man, and they hadn't been in contact for many years. Many of his wounds remained in his heart, and he dared not easily reopen them.

Bai Zhi was not surprised by Ye Tiandong's decision. She sincerely reminded him, "Uncle, you can go, but be careful. My father and stepmother are not good people."

Ye Tiandong pondered for a moment, then made a request, "Then you'll come with me."

Bai Zhi hesitated, "I can't leave Nancheng for the time being. I have two patients who need treatment and I can't delay."

She didn't want to go back to that home.

Having finally changed her fate after being reborn, she didn't want to go back to the same path.

Besides, she really can't leave.

Lu Ye and Niu Niu can't live without her... silver needles right now.

Niu Niu is coming for treatment soon, and after that she has to go give Lu Ye acupuncture.

The schedule is quite full.

Bai Zhi gave Ye Tiandong the specific address of her hometown.

Since her uncle is going, let him investigate.

Ye Tiandong received the address and looked at Ye Qingbai.

"Qingbai, do you want to come with me?"

Ye Qingbai scratched his head and explained apologetically, "Uncle, I don't have time. My superiors only gave me two days off, and I have to go back to the army this afternoon."

The two-day leave was something that all his comrades in the company had applied for and managed to get. He came to the hospital to visit the company commander as a representative.

"Okay, I'm leaving then."

Holding the address written by Bai Zhi and the half of the jade pendant, Ye Tiandong looked at Bai Zhi with an extremely serious expression. "I hope the result won't disappoint me."

If Bai Zhi really is his niece, and if his sister really left behind a daughter in this world, he would be extremely gratified.

But if I lie to him...

Then don't blame him for being impolite.

Bai Zhi smiled faintly, "Uncle, I'm waiting for your good news."

Ye Tiandong went out, and Ye Qingbai followed after him, reminding him, "Uncle, be careful."

"Don't worry, you won't die."
