Chapter 140: Wang Shufen Apologizes

Old Master Lu glanced at Lu Ye and Bai Zhi, then smiled and said to Ye Rufeng, "Dr. Ye, I am a few years older than you, so I'll take the liberty of talking about the two children."

The engagement between these two children was arranged by Xiaozhi's grandfather and me three years ago. Xiaozhi should have mentioned it to you a while ago. I was also very saddened by the passing of Sergeant Bai, so I thought I'd bring Xiaozhi over as soon as possible to help her develop a relationship with Lu Ye.

As he spoke, Old Master Lu looked at Bai Zhi with eyes full of admiration, "We only learned that she was skilled in medicine after Xiao Zhi came. It turns out you are her maternal grandfather."

“When your son came to Nancheng last time, we treated him to a meal and talked to him about Xiaozhi and Lu Ye. He also expressed his respect for Xiaozhi’s wishes and hoped that the two children could develop a relationship.”

Ye Rufeng's expression shifted slightly upon hearing Elder Lu's words.

Bai Zhi said that her uncle went to her rural hometown to confirm her identity and also went to the Lu family to support her.

Everything fits together.

This proves that the child did not utter a single lie in front of him.

Ye Rufeng's gaze towards Bai Zhi softened with even more relief.

Having laid the groundwork, Old Master Lu looked at Ye Rufeng and asked, "What are your thoughts on the two children? After spending two days with Lu Ye, are you satisfied with the boy?"

Lu Ye and his parents looked over nervously and expectantly.

Everyone looked at Ye Rufeng, waiting for him to make a statement.

Ye Rufeng's weathered eyes narrowed slightly, his deep gaze carrying a profound meaning. "What if I say I'm not satisfied?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Lu and the others were all speechless.

Old Master Lu quickly composed himself and said with a smile, "If you're not satisfied, it must be because this kid didn't do a good job. What are your expectations for him? Let him correct them."

“Yes, yes, let him correct it.” Lu Zheng’an also chimed in with a smile.

Lu Ye had already stood up respectfully, looking at Ye Rufeng with a sincere attitude, "Grandpa, you can point it out, and I will correct it."

Ye Rufeng's piercing eyes met Lu Ye's, and Lu Ye's deep eyes were filled with utmost sincerity and openness. The two stared at each other for almost a minute.

Ye Rufeng withdrew his gaze and said, "I'm not dissatisfied with the general direction."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

He said that his maternal grandfather was satisfied with him.

She outwardly disliked him but was warm towards Xie Zheng; it was all intentional.

He wanted to marry someone else's young wife, so the old lady disliked him.

This is all just human nature.

Ye Rufeng looked at Lu Ye with a solemn expression and voiced his concerns.

“You are a soldier who has dedicated yourself to the country. My only concern is whether you can take care of your family in the future, for the sake of everyone? Will you let my granddaughter suffer?”

Lu Ye immediately stated, "I will try my best to balance work and life. After we get married, I will apply for Xiaobai to accompany me to the military base. If she is willing, we can open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic near the base. I will support everything she does."

Lu Ye said, "Xiao Zhi, this is a major life event for you. I won't get involved. You can make the decision yourself."

"Grandpa, I will consider it carefully and seriously."

After being secretly pulled 108 times by Wang Shufen, Lu Shaoan finally found an opportunity to speak to Ye Rufeng.

"Uncle Ye, after you've had a good rest tonight, could you please examine my wife tomorrow morning?"

Upon hearing Lu Shaoan's words, Ye Rufeng's gaze fell precisely on Wang Shufen's face.

After observing for a few seconds, he looked at Bai Zhi and asked, "Xiao Zhi, did you show this to her before?"

Bai Zhi was eating when she looked up and shook her head. "Grandpa, I haven't seen it. My aunt doesn't trust me."

Wang Shufen, "!!!"

"Second Uncle, didn't you go to the Kyoto Hospital for treatment?" Lu Ye asked Lu Shaoan.

Lu Shaoan sighed, "The diagnosis from Kyoto Hospital and the diagnosis from Nancheng Military Region Hospital are the same, and the medications they prescribe are also very similar. They suggested that we try traditional Chinese medicine, as Western medicine only treats the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, not the root cause."

"Oh." Lu Ye replied, his expression understanding.

I see.

So, I'm thinking of going back to my ex.

Lu Ye didn't say much, and Bai Zhi didn't say anything either.

Ye Rufeng had already seen through everything when Bai Zhi said, "My aunt doesn't trust me."

She doesn't trust his granddaughter, so she waits for him on purpose?

Wang Shufen was afraid that Bai Zhi would bring up the past in front of Ye Rufeng, so she forced a smile and apologized to Bai Zhi.

“Xiao Zhi, I was ignorant before. I shouldn’t have doubted your medical skills. I shouldn’t have been so harsh. I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. We are all family. Please don’t hold it against me, your second aunt.”

Bai Zhi chuckled softly.

“Auntie, it’s not just that you doubt my medical skills. You look down on my background and on us country folk. You think I’m not good enough for Lu Ye, and you don’t want me to enter the Lu family. You almost sent me to the police station just to keep the position of Lu family’s granddaughter-in-law for your niece.”

Bai Zhi showed no mercy to Wang Shufen, getting straight to the point, "Besides, you also said that you would never ask me to treat you. You forgot, but I haven't. Let's have some backbone and not go back on our word."

Boss Lu scolded Wang Shufen with a stern face, "Shufen, you went too far before. Apologize to Xiaozhi right now."

"Xiao Zhi, I'm sorry." Wang Shufen's attitude in admitting her mistake seemed very good.

Bai Zhi waved her hand without saying a word and focused on eating.

It's not forgiveness.

Instead, I gave up.

I won't argue with someone like her, but I also won't treat her illness.

However, because of Wang Shufen's matter, the atmosphere at the dinner table became noticeably more tense.

After dinner, Ye Rufeng surprisingly suggested that he go to stay somewhere else.

The Lu family members all tried to persuade him to stay.

Bai Zhi glanced at her watch; it was past ten o'clock, and the old man really couldn't be bothered any longer.

She spoke up to persuade her.

"Grandpa, please rest at home. The guest room has been prepared."

The granddaughter's words still carried weight; "Okay."

After everyone had rested, Lu Shaoan and Wang Shufen returned to their room. Wang Shufen looked at Lu Shaoan and asked anxiously,

"Old Lu, do you think Doctor Ye will treat me?"

Lu Shaoan said irritably, "If he doesn't want to treat you, then you'll have to suffer. You brought this on yourself."

Lu Hai also came in to discuss getting medical treatment for his mother.

Hearing his father's words, he also echoed with dissatisfaction, "That's right, Mom, what you did before was really too much. You actually dared to try to interfere in my cousin's marriage. Don't you have some kind of misunderstanding about your own abilities?"

"Or do you have some misunderstanding about Wang Tingting? If my cousin liked her, would he still be so distant from her by now?"

When this matter was mentioned, Lu Shaoan's expression became even more unpleasant.

Originally, Wang Shufen kept this matter a secret from Lu Shaoan.

But her maternal brother actually called Lu Shaoan personally, using his status as her brother-in-law to pressure him into letting the Lu family release her.

Lu Shaoan already harbored resentment towards his brother-in-law, so why would he be threatened by him?

The two had an argument on the phone.

"Let me tell you, you stupid woman, if you come after me again for your niece's matter, I'll never forgive you."

Lu Shaoan said angrily, "Also, I'm going back to Jincheng tomorrow. You can deal with your illness yourself."

"Old Lu, you can't be so heartless! I'm your wife, I've been married to you for twenty years, I've given you your children, and now that we're old, this is how you treat me?"
