Chapter 118: About Gu Jingyi

At Old Master Lu's insistence, Bai Zhi also returned to the Lu family with them.

"From now on, we'll live at home and he'll receive treatment here. We won't have to sneak around outside anymore."

The thought that he had been kept in the dark about such a big thing made Old Lu both angry and heartbroken.

At the same time, I feel very gratified.

This incident, ironically, gave Lu Ye and Bai Zhi an opportunity to deepen their relationship.

This must be what they call turning misfortune into blessing.

Regardless, it's a good thing to see that this blockhead of a grandson has finally come to his senses, and that the two of them have developed feelings for each other and can continue to get along.

On the way back, Old Lu asked them, "Xiao Ye, are you going to see Old Ye with Xiao Zhi tomorrow?"

Lu Ye replied, "Yes."

"Xiao Zhi, do you know exactly where your maternal grandfather is now?" Old Lu asked again, relieved.

He was unaware of Lu Ye's health condition beforehand, and was only delighted that they were going on a long trip together.

Now that they have learned of the serious incident that happened to their eldest grandson, who not only has a recent surgical wound but also has serious residual toxins in his body.

If they have an attack while out and about, how should they deal with it?

However, at the same time, Mr. Lu did not want to stop these two young people from having such a rare opportunity to go out and be alone.

“Grandpa Lu, I know. We plan to go to Yunwu Mountain to look for him first.”

Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Old Master Lu looked even more worried. "That place is hundreds of kilometers away from us. It's quite a long journey. Xiao Ye must take good care of Xiao Zhi on the way. Also, what about Xiao Ye's treatment?"

"Grandpa Lu, don't worry, I'll give him moxibustion as soon as I get up this morning."

Drink the morning's herbal medicine before leaving home. Put tomorrow night's medicine in a bottle and store it with ice. It'll keep for a day without any problem, and we can brew it as soon as we arrive at our destination the day after tomorrow.

Bai Zhi's words finally dispelled the old man's concerns.

After a long day of travel, I finally got home around 10 p.m.

The room Bai Zhi used to live in was cleaned by Zhang Ma every day, so it was ready to live in without any extra tidying up.

Old Master Lu said with concern, "Xiao Zhi, go and rest. You must be tired after a long day."

"Okay, Grandpa Lu, Uncle and Aunt, you should get some rest too."

Bai Zhi went to the guest room to rest, and Old Master Lu called Lu Ye over, gesturing for him to sit down.

Looking at his eldest grandson, Old Lu's eyes were filled with heartache again. He held his hand and sighed, "Child, you've suffered."

"Grandpa, it's all over now, everything's alright, please don't be sad anymore."

Lu Ye spoke casually, moving his arm slightly, "See, nothing's wrong, I'm very resilient."

Old Lu rolled his eyes at him. "Alright, stop moving. I see that the scar on your chest has only just begun to heal; the soft tissue inside hasn't fully healed yet. Don't open it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye sat down quietly.

The old man was wounded so many times during the war, he has experience.

Old Lu then looked at Lu Zheng'an and the others, who were sitting stiffly on the sofa like children who had done something wrong, and said, "You guys have had a tough time these past few days. You had to take care of Xiao Ye, keep it from this old man like me, and work on top of that. You must have been overwhelmed."

Lu Zheng'an thought his father would give him another dressing down, but when he heard the old man's words, he breathed a sigh of relief. His face was bitter. "Dad, forget the hardship. As long as Xiao Ye recovers, it's all worth it."

The pressure, pain, and torment I've endured during this period cannot be simply described in words.

Fortunately, it's all over now.

My son's life has been saved.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng'an felt deeply grateful to Bai Zhi.

Fortunately, the old man brought Bai Zhi back from the countryside when Lu Ye was injured.

Just as the old man said, the Bai family is a benefactor to the Lu family. In critical moments, they always come to the rescue and turn danger into safety.

As Lu Ye's parents and Bai Zhi's future in-laws, all they can do is treat Bai Zhi well.

Xie Yun went back into the house and came out with an envelope in her hand. She handed it to Lu Ye and said, "This is a thousand yuan. Take it as travel expenses."

Lu Ye, a burly man in his late twenties, felt too embarrassed to take money from his parents.

"Mom, I have money."

Xie Yun insisted on stuffing it into his hand, "How much money do you have? Take it quickly. When you're traveling, you need to be well-off. Don't make Xiao Zhi suffer."

Old Lu also said, "Take it, what's there to be embarrassed about? You should save your salary for your wedding."

Since his elders insisted, Lu Ye had no choice but to accept the envelope from his mother without further ado.

...

Lu Ye bought a train ticket for 11:00 a.m., which would take 12 hours to reach Yunwu Mountain.

Since there was plenty of time in the morning, Xie Yun told Zhang Ma to make sure they had a hearty breakfast so they could eat their fill before getting on the bus.

As always, Lu Shan got up early and went out without eating breakfast. As usual, Zhang Ma also put two boiled eggs in her pocket.

Lu Shan packed up the eggs Zhang Ma had given her, said thank you, and glanced at her watch before leaving.

Seeing that it was still early, I lingered in the living room for another two minutes.

When Bai Zhi finished getting ready and went downstairs, Lu Shan was looking up at the building.

She greeted Bai Zhi with a haughty air, and Bai Zhi replied with a casual "Good morning."

After saying that, she was about to walk into the kitchen.

Whenever she stayed at the Lu family's house, she would habitually go to the kitchen in the morning to find Zhang Ma, help her with some chores, and chat.

"Um... Bai Zhi, come here for a moment."

Upon hearing Lu Shan's voice, Bai Zhi stopped in her tracks, glanced at the aloof woman dressed in black, and asked, "Dr. Lu, is something the matter?"

"Um."

Lu Shan walked up to her, took out several large bills from her wallet, and handed them over, saying, "Take this money and buy water on the way."

Bai Zhi couldn't understand why she would do such a thing. She forced a polite smile, waved her hand, and declined, saying, "No need, I have money."

Lu Shan's attitude was firm: "This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Bai Zhi looked at the money in her hand, which amounted to more than two hundred yuan.

Lu Shan held up the money with a sincere yet serious expression, like a domineering female CEO, giving her no room to refuse.

Bai Zhi could tell that she wasn't trying to humiliate her with money, but rather genuinely wanted to express her feelings.

However, this person is naturally aloof and not good at expressing himself, so he always seems awkward and hesitant.

"If you don't take it, you're disrespecting me."

Helpless, Bai Zhi took out a bill from the wad of cash in her hand. "Ten yuan is enough for me, enough to buy water."

If the relationship isn't right, it wouldn't be appropriate to take it all.

Lu Shan remained assertive, saying, "Take them all, not much."

As she spoke, she stuffed the money in her hand into Bai Zhi's hand.

Bai Zhi refused to accept the money, saying, "I really don't need it, I have money..."

He who takes a bribe is beholden to it.

During the struggle, Lu Shan's wallet accidentally fell to the ground.

A black and white photograph flew out of the wallet and fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Lu Shan became anxious. Regardless of whether Bai Zhi was willing to accept it or not, she casually stuffed the money in her hand into Bai Zhi's pocket and hurriedly went to pick up the photos.

Bai Zhi's gaze fell on the photo, and she recognized the person in the photo at a glance.

The man in military uniform in the Gu family photo.

Niu Niu's second uncle.
