Chapter 85: Lu Ye Meets Xie Zheng

Bai Zhi was just pondering what Lu Ye meant when she heard the man in the back seat explain, "I'm going home. As your fiancé, my grandfather will naturally arrange for us to meet."

Bai Zhi's brows furrowed slightly. She slowly pedaled her bicycle, speaking softly, "You can explain your thoughts to the old man when you get home tonight. I believe Grandpa Lu will understand."

Since he doesn't accept this marriage, then it should be made clear this time, and they don't need to be bound together anymore.

Could it be that he wants her to cooperate with him and go with him to Grandpa Lu to annul the engagement?

Of course, this is also appropriate.

If this marriage is truly to be called off, she should naturally take the initiative to step forward, rather than passively waiting to be dumped.

Otherwise, it wouldn't sound good if word got out.

The man in the back seat said in a low voice, "Okay, I'll explain my thoughts to Grandpa."

Bai Zhi felt a strange tightness in her chest when she heard his words.

She dropped him off at the crossroads without looking back, then rode her bicycle back to Jishengtang.

As soon as you enter, you see a large watermelon on the table.

"Dr. Zhou, you bought watermelons too?" She looked at Dr. Zhou, who was half-lying down listening to Qinqiang opera, and asked with a smile.

"Your brother brought it."

Bai Zhi, "???"

Dr. Zhou added, "It wasn't the trendy guy from yesterday, it was another cool guy."

Upon hearing Dr. Zhou's words, Bai Zhi instantly pictured Lu Ye's cold expression as he stepped on the thief's hand.

Seeing her standing there in a daze, Dr. Zhou glanced at the watermelon on the table and said, "Bring your brother here and cut up that watermelon for us to eat."

"Oh. Okay."

Bai Zhi cut up a watermelon and brought it over. Doctor Zhou didn't ask her about Lu Ye. While eating the watermelon, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you really going to resign and leave Nancheng?"

Bai Zhi swallowed the watermelon in her mouth and nodded, "Mm."

"You're really willing to give up your two handsome brothers?"

Upon hearing Doctor Zhou's words, Bai Zhi nearly choked to death, exclaiming, "!!!"

She explained, "Dr. Zhou, they are the grandsons of my grandfather's comrade-in-arms. They are not very familiar with me. They called themselves 'brother' just out of politeness."

As someone with experience, Dr. Zhou naturally didn't believe a single word Bai Zhi said.

She has no interest in him, but those two handsome guys probably don't.

Especially that one today.

His face darkened when he heard about the other handsome guy.

Doctor Zhou dared not mention to Bai Zhi that he had told her in detail about the handsome man from yesterday and the cold, handsome man from today.

The key issue is that the other person's aura was too powerful, and he simply couldn't handle it.

After finishing the watermelon, Bai Zhi began grinding the herbs into powder.

Dr. Zhou leaned over to strike up a conversation, "Xiao Bai, did your cool guy find you today?"

Bai Zhi, busy with her hands, replied, "Found him, he's gone home."

...

After getting off the bus at the intersection, Lu Ye did not go home immediately.

Instead, he found a public phone and dialed a number.

"Second Grandfather, I am Lu Ye." Lu Ye's tone was respectful and polite.

"Lu Ye?" the old man exclaimed in surprise upon hearing his voice.

Lu Ye's call was made to Xie Laojia, her mother's second uncle.

When Old Xie received Lu Ye's call, he was quite surprised. "Child, you're back?"

“Yes, we just arrived in the south of the city,” Lu Ye said.

He asked with concern, "Second Grandpa, how are you and my Second Grandma doing?"

Old Xie's voice was booming, "We're all doing well, very healthy."

Lu Ye exchanged a few pleasantries with the old man and then asked, "Second Grandfather, is Xie Zheng home?"

Old Master Xie was surprised that Lu Ye would ask about Xie Zheng. He glanced at his eldest grandson, who was eating a peach with one hand while his arm was in a sling, and said with a smile, "He's here, he's at home."

"Please let Xie Zheng answer the phone."

"This..." Old Xie looked troubled, then asked tentatively with a smile, "What do you need Xie Zheng for?"

These two boys have been at odds since they were little, they can't stand each other, and they fight whenever they meet.

Later, the two developed their own social circles, and Lu Ye rarely returned to Nancheng. In recent years, they have had very few opportunities to meet.

Lu Ye called Xie Zheng as soon as he got back?

Mr. Xie was filled with doubt.

These two must have some kind of conflict again.

Xie Zheng had just heard his grandfather call Lu Ye's name, and now his grandfather's gaze was on him again. He looked up and asked, "Grandpa, are you looking for me?"

Old Xie could only tell the truth: "Lu Ye wants to talk to you."

Upon hearing this, Xie Zheng stood up and strode over.

He took the phone from his grandfather, sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs again, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Oh, a rare guest indeed."

Xie Zheng said sarcastically, "Why would someone so busy call my house? Do you need something?"

Ignoring Xie Zheng's sarcastic remarks, Lu Ye went straight to the point, "Can we meet?"

"Sorry, I might be busy." Xie Zheng looked at his arm, his tone slightly arrogant. "I got a minor injury while doing something heroic, and I'm recuperating at home."

Lu Ye scoffed, "It's just a minor cut on your arm, what a fuss."

Xie Zheng asked in confusion, "How did you know I had an injury on my arm?"

Lu Ye didn't respond, but continued his sarcastic remarks, "You're still not convinced that you lack manliness."

His words successfully enraged Xie Zheng, who also forgot his doubts about how Lu Ye knew about his arm injury. He exploded, "Who are you calling pretentious? Who are you calling lacking in manliness?"

Lu Ye: "You!"

Xie Zheng stamped his foot, "Where are you? I'm coming out right now."
