Chapter 139: Quite a hefty weight!

As soon as Xie Zheng helped Mu Qin out of the station exit, Xie Yun went to greet them.

"Xiaoqin".

Mu Qin heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice and thought she was hallucinating.

"Xiaoqin, it's me." Xie Yun looked at her and spoke again.

By the light of the lamp, Mu Qin could clearly see Xie Yun's face.

She stared at her in astonishment, unsure how to react.

Xie Yun looked at the woman in front of her with surprise and joy. Looking at her face, which was etched with the marks of time, she was overwhelmed with emotion. "Xiao Qin, you're really back?"

Upon seeing an old friend, Mu Qin's feelings became complicated. "Yes, it's me."

Gu Xiaoyue also recognized Xie Yun and stepped forward to greet her sweetly as "Auntie Xie".

"Is this Xiaoyue?" Xie Yun found it hard to connect the graceful girl in front of her with the little girl in the second grade of elementary school in her memory.

If you bumped into him on the street, you would never recognize him.

Mu Qin nodded. "It's Xiao Yue."

"In the blink of an eye, this child has grown so much."

Xie Yun sighed and gave Mu Qin a big hug, holding her tightly, her voice trembling with emotion and on the verge of tears.

"Why didn't you give us a heads-up before you came back? If we hadn't come to pick up Xiao Ye and Doctor Ye, we really wouldn't have run into you."

Mu Qin was weak. After getting out of the car and walking for a while, she felt exhausted. "Sister Yun, I don't want to cause you any trouble."

"What are you saying?" Xie Yun pulled her along, insisting on getting into the car. "Let's go home."

"No, we'll stay in a hotel."

Mu Qin pulled her hand away, insisting on staying at a hotel.

It was getting late, and Xie Yun couldn't insist any longer. Although Mu Qin repeatedly emphasized that she and her daughter were fine, Xie Zheng insisted on taking them to a hotel.

Helpless, Xie Yun could only instruct Xie Zheng, "Then you take good care of your Aunt Mu and Xiao Yue."

Xie Yun held Mu Qin's hand, reluctant to part, "Xiao Qin, get some rest tonight, I'll come see you tomorrow."

"good."

After watching Xie Zheng leave with Mu Qin and Gu Xiaoyue, Xie Yun got into the old man's jeep driven by Lu Hai.

Lu Zheng'an wanted to invite Ye Rufeng to stay at his home, but Ye Rufeng initially disagreed.

But Lu Zheng'an said that dinner had already been prepared at home, so they should at least have a meal before discussing accommodation.

Lu Zheng'an was warm and gentlemanly, giving Ye Rufeng no room to refuse. Ye Rufeng could not refuse his hospitality and had no choice but to agree to go to his home.

Lu Ye got into the passenger seat, and Lu Hai drove the car towards the military compound.

Xie Yun's feelings were complicated because she saw her old friend whom she hadn't seen for ten years and it also brought back some memories.

She sat with Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi could clearly sense that Xie Yun was distracted.

Lu Ye sat in the front seat, while Bai Zhi simply closed her eyes to rest.

After a long while, Xie Yun asked her with concern, "Xiao Zhi, are you tired from the car ride?"

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "We weren't tired at all. We lay down and slept for a while in the car."

...

When they arrived at the military compound, Grandpa Lu and Lu Shaoan were waiting at the gate.

Upon seeing Ye Rufeng arrive, Old Master Lu quickly greeted him with a hearty laugh.

"Hello, Mr. Ye."

Ye Rufeng looked at the old hero who had made meritorious contributions in front of him and was very kind. "Commander Lu, hello."

"Why are you calling me 'Chief'? We're related by marriage, like grandchildren."

Ye Rufeng asked him, "How are you feeling?"

Old Lu said with a smile, "Xiao Zhi prescribed some medicine for me to take care of, and I feel pretty good now."

"Come on, let's go inside." Old Lu took Ye Rufeng's hand and led her into the living room.

Upon entering the house, Lu Shaoan went up to greet Ye Rufeng.

Mr. Lu explained, "This is my second son; he works in the coal mines."

Ye Rufeng glanced at Lu Shaoan, whose shirt buttons were about to pop open, and teased, "Wow, you're quite a heavyweight."

When Lu Shaoan was teased about his weight, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle Ye, I'm heavy enough to be safe."

Ye Rufeng is a straightforward person, especially when dealing with people who are in poor health and don't pay attention to their health. He is very incisive and directly points out the problem: "Your personal safety has been protected, but your health and safety probably need to be taken seriously. I see that your fatty liver is quite serious."

Upon hearing Ye Rufeng's words and looking at his son, whose range of question types had recently broadened, Old Lu sighed, "I've told him so many times. His job requires him to eat and drink, and now look what's happened."

"Dad, it's necessary for work."

Wang Shufen, unlike her usual glamorous self, was now dressed in casual clothes, with messy permed hair, and walked out with a limp.

When she saw Bai Zhi, a smile forced across her swollen face as she greeted them, "Xiao Ye and Xiao Zhi brought Doctor Ye back?"

"Um."

Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi were traveling and looked tired. Ye Rufeng said he needed to go to the restroom, and Lu Zheng'an respectfully and politely pointed him in the right direction, saying, "This way, please."

Zhang Ma and Xie Yun started serving the dishes. After Ye Rufeng came out and was invited to sit down, everyone else sat down in turn.

Wang Shufen sat down next to Lu Shaoan. She looked at Bai Zhi with a concerned expression, "Xiao Zhi, you must be tired from your journey. You've lost weight."

"Are you thirsty? Drink some water."

When Wang Shufen suddenly became overly attentive, Bai Zhi had only one thought in her mind: "Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft."

Also, didn't Lu Shaoan take Wang Shufen to Kyoto for medical treatment?

You're back so soon?

"Thank you, I can do it myself."

Bai Zhi picked up the water glass and took a sip.

Old Master Lu was still chatting with Ye Rufeng, and no one else interrupted, just listening quietly to the two old men talking.

Once all the dishes were served, Old Master Lu personally poured Ye Rufeng a cup of fine Longjing tea. Then, he stood up with the tea in his hand, his expression sincere, and said, "Old Master Ye, on behalf of the entire Lu family, I raise a toast to welcome you to Nancheng and to the Lu family."

Ye Rufeng brought the tea and clinked glasses with him, saying, "Thank you."

"Come on, let our whole family toast Elder Ye."

Lu Zheng'an and Lu Shao'an, who were good drinkers, all raised their glasses and said, "Uncle Ye, we toast you."

Old Master Lu spoke sincerely, "In addition, I would like to express my special thanks to you for raising such an outstanding child as Xiao Zhi. If it weren't for her intervention at the critical moment, Lu Ye's life would probably be in danger."

Ye Rufeng sat in the superior position, exuding a powerful aura. "No need to thank me. Traditional Chinese medicine is profound and extensive, and Xiaozhi is very hardworking. Everything is the result of her own efforts."

He really hadn't taught her anything, and they had only recently become acquainted.

Old Master Lu looked at Bai Zhi with affection and appreciation, and then continued,

"Yes, this child is very hardworking, but it's also thanks to your excellent teaching."

Old Master Lu was sincere and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi.

Then they talked about Lu Ye and Bai Zhi's engagement.

While eating, Wang Shufen's swollen and painful fingers made it difficult for her to even pick up food with chopsticks. She anxiously nudged Lu Shaoan, reminding him to find an opportunity to speak to Ye Rufeng.
