Chapter 348: Do you like Lu Ya?

Chapter 348: Do you like Lu Ya?

Old Lu felt a pang of regret. If he hadn't let the girl discover his relationship with Gu Changgeng, perhaps she and Gu Jingyi would have gotten together in a daze.

Perhaps it wouldn't be as painful as it is now.

And Lu Hai, how come he's starting to look more and more like a spoiled brat?

Lu Hai noticed the old man's gaze fixed intently on him. Startled, he looked at Lu Shaoan and asked, "Dad, when are we going back to Jincheng?"

He had to run quickly, or the old man would turn his attention to him again.

Lu Shaoan said, "Tomorrow afternoon."

He instructed Lu Hai, "Take your mother back to our place this morning. She's feeling better now, so she can rest and recuperate there. Don't bother your grandfather."

As soon as Lu Shaoan finished speaking, Wang Shufen walked out of the bedroom, supporting her waist, and began to speak in a weak voice, "I feel really unwell right now, my whole body is stiff, I'm afraid my illness has relapsed."

Everyone's expression froze when they saw Wang Shufen.

Lu Shaoan, in particular, had such a furrowed brow that it could trap a fly.

"What's wrong with you? Why did it recur all of a sudden?"

Wang Shufen walked over with unsteady steps and squeezed down next to Lu Shaoan.

Lu Shaoan looked grim and moved to the side.

"I think it's because I've been drinking; my brain isn't functioning properly, and I feel unwell all over."

She looked to Bai Zhi for help, "Xiao Zhi, can you please check if it's serious? I drank alcohol today, can I still take my Chinese medicine tonight?"

Bai Zhi gets a headache whenever she sees Wang Shufen and really doesn't want to talk to her.

But at this moment, the whole family was sitting together, and Wang Shufen was looking at her longingly, even reaching out her hand.

All she could do was take her pulse.

"How is it? Is it serious?" Wang Shufen asked anxiously.

Bai Zhi said in a calm tone, "Second Aunt, you'll be fine after a couple of days of rest. Don't drink alcohol or eat seafood anymore. You have to be careful about what you eat, especially while taking Chinese medicine. If you don't watch what you eat while taking medicine, you'll be wasting the doctor's time."

Rheumatoid arthritis is a stubborn disease that requires gradual management. One should also pay attention to their daily life, especially now that the weather is getting colder, which is the season for disease flare-ups. If one doesn't follow medical advice, the disease will be very difficult to cure.

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Lu Shaoan's expression became even more unpleasant.

Lu Hai looked at Wang Shufen with a mixture of speechlessness and disdain.

Lu Shaoan was furious and said to Bai Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, if she does this again, you and Doctor Ye should stop treating her and just let her die."

"Dad, the key point is that the doctor said this patient has what's called incurable cancer; it'll only cause suffering and torment, and it's not life-threatening," Lu Hai added casually from the side.

Hearing Lu Hai's words, Wang Shufen pouted sadly, "Son, how can you be so cold to your mother? You know how tormenting this illness is, do you know how much I've suffered?"

Lu Hai looked at his mother, but there was not much heartache on his face.

Instead, her tone revealed a hint of impatience, "Mom, we didn't put this illness on you. We've been actively trying to treat you, taking you to every hospital we could. We finally managed to persuade Dr. Ye to treat you too, but you've been too willful. At your age, you don't listen to us and just let yourself go, doing whatever you want. What can we do?"

“You’re a patient, and you don’t even know how to be low-key. You had to show off in that kind of situation today. Now you’re making yourself uncomfortable, suffering, and causing trouble for us. I can’t sympathize with you at all.”

Lu Hai's words left Wang Shufen speechless.

He continued, "My dad and I are going back to Jincheng tomorrow. We'll take you home in the morning."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shufen's expression changed abruptly. "What? Go back to our home? Who will take care of me then?"

“It’s not good for Xiaoya to just stay at home all the time. Her company just got the opening, right? She has to report for work in the next couple of days. How can I manage on my own?”

Lu Shaoan said in a deep voice, "I'll hire a nanny for you. Don't stay here and bother Dad."

Wang Shufen looked at Old Master Lu and asked the crucial question, "Dad, have I disturbed you?"

Old Master Lu, “…” It’s more than just that.

Wang Shufen is full of filial piety. "My older brother and sister-in-law both go to work during the day. I can stay here and keep Dad company. He's getting old. If he gets dizzy and faints while living alone, there's no one to take care of him. I can stay here and talk to him and take care of him."

Mr. Lu, there's really no need for that "!!!"

He waved his hand and said, "Since Shao'an has found you a nanny, then move back."

Anyway, the second son earns more.

He used to think that hiring a nanny was a luxury and a waste of money, and that it would be better to have Wang Shufen move in with him.

Now he can't wait for her to leave.

Even if the second son is unwilling to pay for a nanny, he can use his own retirement pension to hire one.

In short, move out as soon as possible.

Once Old Master Lu spoke, Wang Shufen knew that no matter how hard she tried, it would be useless.

She was somewhat unwilling to be asked to move out of the military compound.

Living in a military compound was a symbol of status; when she returned to her parents' home, her elder brother and others treated her with great respect.

Once she moves out, she won't have a job, and no matter how much she flaunts her husband's wealth, no one will care.

Lu Shaoan planned to arrange for Lu Ya to move back home with Wang Shufen, but he didn't see Lu Ya.

He then asked Wang Shufen, "Where's Lu Ya? Pack your things early tonight."

Wang Shufen replied, "She said she came out of the hotel to meet a friend and hasn't come back yet."

"Probably his boyfriend," Lu Hai said casually, sitting to the side with his legs crossed.

Wang Shufen looked at him, surprised, "What boyfriend? Your sister doesn't have a boyfriend."

Lu Hai said in a low voice, "Just because you don't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

Based on Xie Zheng's words, he was absolutely certain that Lu Ya, that brat, was having an affair outside.

Moreover, the man's conditions are unlikely to be very good.

Otherwise, Xie Zheng wouldn't be so disgusted.

Lu Ya has always had poor taste and is also obsessed with love.

Lu Hai guessed that Lu Ya's boyfriend was probably the man whose job she had asked their father to arrange for her.

As Lu Hai was pondering this, Wang Shufen's eyes darted around, and she asked Bai Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, where's your cousin?"

Bai Zhi was also thinking about Lu Ya's matter at this time. Hearing Wang Shufen's words, she said calmly, "He went back to my maternal grandfather's house with my cousin and his family."

"oh......."

Wang Shufen thought that Bai Zhi might not know Lu Qingbai's whereabouts either. Perhaps the person who asked Lu Ya to go out today was Ye Qingbai.

Her belief is not without basis.

A few days ago, when she went to Jishengtang for a consultation, she happened to overhear Doctor Ye chatting with that old man Zhou.

It is said that Ye Qingbai has someone in his heart, a girl from the Lu family.

When Ye Qingbo came to her house last time, he brought so many things, and she had wondered if he liked Lu Shan.

But later she subtly inquired about Lu Shan.

Lu Shan herself said that she was not familiar with Ye Qingbo.

Furthermore, she has no plans to find a partner.

Ye Qingbo is several years younger than Lu Shan, so it's impossible for him to like her mature and aloof older sister type.

Therefore, the chocolates Ye Qingbai brought when he came to our house for dinner last time were largely for Lu Ya.

But speculation is just speculation.

She was really anxious and restless until she got to the bottom of this.

So, Wang Shufen tentatively looked at Bai Zhi and said with a smile, "Since everyone is here today, Xiao Zhi, I have something to ask you."

Bai Zhi would definitely know if Ye Qingbai liked Lu Ya.

After all, I have to help him pursue her.

"Second Aunt, please tell me."

Wang Shufen looked at her expectantly and asked, "Does your cousin like Xiaoya?"

Bai Zhi, "???"
