Chapter 319: Are you troubled by love?

Bai Zhi explained to her uncles, "My maternal grandfather and I practice medicine at Jishengtang. At first, we lived in Lu Ye's courtyard. That courtyard was to be used as our wedding room, so it needed to be renovated. My maternal grandfather simply bought a courtyard in Nancheng. He said that this way, we would have our own home in Nancheng in the future."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingsong smiled and said, "Second Uncle has considered things very thoroughly."

"Is he still seeing patients at Jishengtang? Patients at Derentang are still asking about him every day."

Bai Zhi replied, "Yes, he still sees patients, but only for half a day each day. I guess my grandfather will stop working here once I get married."

The old man didn't leave Nancheng because he was waiting to attend her wedding.

When Ye Jinsong heard that this elderly man, who was already famous and wealthy, was still working so hard to contribute his remaining energy, he suddenly felt that it was a bit unreasonable for him, who was over forty years old, not to do his job properly.

He immediately decided in his heart that he would listen to Wang Lan when he got back and expand the pig farm.

After all, his two sons are not yet married and settled, so he can't just give up.

"Let's go eat first."

When Bai Zhi got off work, she had already booked a private room at her usual Sichuan restaurant.

Then, he took them directly to a Sichuan restaurant for a meal.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Bai Zhi introduced to Ye Tiandong, "Uncle, the food at this Sichuan restaurant is pretty good. The owner, like you, runs a state-owned restaurant. The food here is quite good."

Ye Tiandong smiled and said, "Really? Then let's go try it."

As Bai Zhi led everyone into the restaurant, Lu Ye lagged behind. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, he went to the shop across the street and used a public phone to call Zhou Da.

Bai Zhi warmly greeted everyone and encouraged them to order.

But deep down, I was incredibly uneasy.

She hoped her grandfather could come soon, but she was also worried that once he arrived, her uncle would not want to eat at the same table with the old man, and the father and son would fall out.

To this day, Dr. Zhou's wife remains in a state of alternating confusion and lucidity.

"Come on, let's order."

Seeing that Lu Ye hadn't followed him in, Ye Jingsong asked Bai Zhi, "Where's Lu Ye?"

"He went to buy cigarettes, let's ignore him, he'll be back in a bit."

Bai Zhi had her two uncles and Wang Lan order food together, and then chatted with everyone in a friendly manner.

"Uncle, you and your aunt have come over. Is everything arranged at the pig farm? Take a few days to explore this place properly, don't rush back."

Wang Lan said, "My younger brother is in charge of looking after the pig farm, so I don't worry about him at all. We originally planned to have a good trip this time. These past few years, I've been holed up in the pig farm all day long. Not only do I smell like a pig, but I've also turned into a pig myself. My brain isn't working properly anymore."

Ye Qingchuan chimed in, "Mom, I also think your mind isn't working properly right now."

"You little brat, how can you talk like that? Your mother is much smarter than you. You're the dumbest one in our family."

Ye Qingchuan, “........”

Although Ye Jinsong is in his second marriage, his family atmosphere is very good.

Wang Lan and Ye Jingsong are both outgoing and decisive people.

Even when Wang Lan sometimes favors her son, it's always blatant favoritism.

There was no backstabbing or infighting between him and Ye Qingbai.

Overall, things were quite harmonious.

Bai Zhi then looked at Ye Tiandong and asked, "Uncle, how's business at the restaurant?"

"fine."

"With Supervisor Cui overseeing things, you can stay in Nancheng a little longer."

Ye Tiandong replied, "We'll see when the time comes."

Ye Tiandong was not as spirited as before; he was quite sullen.

Although they were happy to attend their niece's wedding.

But she wasn't as radiant as before.

Bai Zhi felt helpless seeing him like this.

I didn't know how to comfort her.

They don't even dare to talk about this topic.

But then she thought again. Her uncle's serious demeanor might not be solely due to a failed marriage and a bad mood.

Perhaps he didn't want to face his father.

Lu Ye returned just as the dishes were being served.

He sat down next to Bai Zhi.

As everyone chatted, Ye Jingsong inquired about his son's personal life, "Your cousin is married, what about you? What are your thoughts?"

"Stop! I have no opinion on this. Let's not talk about it."

Ye Qingbo drank alcohol last night and went to bed late. Although he woke up late, his eyes were still bloodshot and his complexion was not good.

Wang Lan observed him and tentatively asked, "Qingbai, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"

Although Wang Lan asked this question, she could tell that it wasn't a physical problem at all.

I'm in a bad mood.

"Aunt Lan, I'm fine. I stayed up late last night drinking with friends and didn't get enough rest."

"I see."

Ye Tiandong glanced at Ye Qingbai's listless expression.

Suddenly, I thought of myself a while ago.

"Come on, everyone, let's eat."

Because they had to be mindful of the feelings of Ye Tiandong and Ye Qingbo, who were both heartbroken, everyone was very careful when they chatted.

Ye Jingsong wanted to ask Bai Zhi more about his second uncle, but he was afraid that if he said too much, Ye Tiandong would make an excuse to leave.

In short, it's hard to say anything.

"Xiao Zhi, I heard you're working at a military hospital now, right? What project are you in charge of again?"

Since we can't talk about personal matters, let's talk about work.

Bai Zhi smiled and nodded, "Yes, Uncle, I work at the military hospital."

Ye Jingsong looked at Bai Zhi with admiration, exclaiming, "My God, how are you so amazing? Is it possible to just walk into a military hospital like that?"

Wang Lan glanced at him, who was making such a fuss, and rolled her eyes at him. "Don't you even know what kind of family our Xiaozhi married into? Lu Ye's grandfather is a high-ranking officer. Sending our Xiaozhi to the military hospital for further training is no big deal for him. What's all the fuss about?"

Upon hearing Wang Lan's words, Bai Zhi, Lu Ye, and Ye Qingbai all looked rather unpleasant.

All of Bai Zhi's efforts over the years were wiped out with just one sentence: Lu Ye's grandfather is a high-ranking official.

Lu Ye looked at Wang Lan with a serious expression and explained solemnly, "Aunt, Xiao Bai got a job at the military hospital based on her own medical skills. She was personally invited by the vice president of the military hospital. It has nothing to do with our family. My grandfather would never give our younger generation such a back door."

Ye Qingbai was even angrier that Wang Lan always used her worldly wisdom to make assumptions about things.

Young people with family connections often assume that they get things done through back channels and favors.

“Aunt Lan, don’t always think in your own way. Do you know how amazing Xiao Zhi is? She’s my second grandfather’s apprentice. Back then, the military hospital couldn’t do anything about our company commander’s condition, but Xiao Zhi pulled him back from the brink of death on her own. She got into the military hospital entirely on her own merits, without any connections. You still don’t understand her true abilities.”

"Oh, I see." Wang Lan smiled awkwardly. "Then I was overthinking it."
