Chapter 359: Doctor Ye Departs

Ye Qingbai went forward to check and confirmed that the door was locked.

"Dad, my second grandfather might have gone out."

Ye Qingbai used to have a house key, but in order to make room for Ye Tiandong and create an opportunity for the father and son to reconcile, he returned the key to Ye Rufeng after his father and Wang Lan came to Nancheng and he checked into a hotel.

So, they can't get in now either.

Ye Jingsong said, "Then let's wait here for a while. Your second grandfather has probably gone out to eat."

The family of four waited for a long time at Ye Rufeng's door, but still did not see Ye Rufeng.

Ye Jingsong scratched his head and pondered, "That shouldn't be the case. Your second grandfather knew we were going back to Nancheng today, so he was bound to come see him. Why has he been gone for so long?"

When they parted ways after their banquet at the restaurant yesterday, they said they would see each other this morning.

"Could she have gone to see my cousin?" Ye Qingchuan asked.

Ye Jingsong shook his head, "Your cousin is definitely in the military compound today. It's probably not appropriate for your second grandfather to go to her house. He's a man of principle, and he definitely won't go to see Xiaozhi today."

The family of four found it too cold standing outside, so they went back inside and sat down to wait in a small teahouse outside the alley.

Around 11 o'clock, Ye Qingbai went to check the door, but it was still locked.

For some reason, Ye Jingsong suddenly felt a pang of unease and had a bad feeling.

Considering his second uncle's elusive nature over the years, he couldn't help but think of a certain possibility.

Upon realizing this, Ye Jingsong's expression suddenly tightened. He looked at Ye Qingbai and said, "You have your cousin's phone number, right? Go call her and ask her if she knows where your second grandfather is."

"OK."

Ye Qingbo used a public phone in a nearby store to call Bai Zhi's mobile phone number.

"Xiaozhi, I have a question. No one is home at Second Grandpa's house. We've been waiting since eight o'clock this morning, but he hasn't come back. Do you know where he went?"

At this moment, Bai Zhi and Lu Ye were in the military compound, preparing gifts for the bride's return visit.

They returned to the military compound in the morning because Lu Ye was going back to his unit tomorrow. So the two of them discussed it last night and decided to go back to her parents' home today. It just so happened that her cousin's family and her uncle were all there.

Bai Zhi thought that it would be more lively at home if she went back to her parents' house.

Upon hearing Ye Qingbai's words, she said, "Cousin, I don't know where Grandpa went. I was just about to go back to my parents' home for the wedding."

Bai Zhi said to Ye Qingbai on the other end of the phone, "Wait for me at your doorstep, we'll be back soon."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ye walked over carrying several high-end tea gift boxes. "Xiao Bai, what's wrong?"

Bai Zhi replied, "My cousin called and said that my grandfather's door was locked, and they had been waiting for a long time without seeing him. He asked me if I knew where my grandfather had gone."

"Maybe he was bored staying at home alone, so he went out for a walk."

"I think so."

The two greeted their elders and then prepared to go out.

Bai Zhi originally wanted to talk to Wang Shufen about something, but there wasn't enough time right now, so she could only wait until the evening.

Lu Shaoan said that he wanted Wang Shufen and Lu Ya to move back to his house in the afternoon. Wang Shufen was extremely unwilling, and she was still lying in the house because she was very upset by Lu Ya yesterday.

"Second Uncle, what time are you going home today?"

Lu Shaoan said, "Everything is packed, we can leave anytime. Let's see what happens this afternoon."

Lu Shaoan's tone was somewhat ambiguous, and Bai Zhi didn't ask any further questions before returning to her parents' home with Lu Ye.

Lu Ye drove around Jishengtang, and Bai Zhi went inside to see if her grandfather had been temporarily invited by Doctor Zhou to Jishengtang for a consultation.

Sometimes, when patients with difficult or complicated illnesses come in, Dr. Zhou is hesitant to treat them himself and is very likely to call for help.

As a result, when Bai Zhi went in, only Doctor Zhou was sitting there.

"Dr. Zhou, has my maternal grandfather visited?"

"Huh?" Dr. Zhou heard the voice, snapped out of his daze, and looked towards the door. "You haven't been here today."

He asked, "What's wrong? Do you need to see Doctor Ye?"

"It's okay if you've never been here before, it's fine."

Bai Zhi didn't say anything more and hurriedly turned and left.

"No, wait, I haven't finished yet." Dr. Zhou had just chased after her when he saw that she had already gotten into the car.

The jeep drove onto the road.

Before long, the two appeared at the entrance of the alley.

Bai Zhi saw her cousin's family of four standing there from the car. It was very cold outside and the wind was blowing. Wang Lan's hair was messed up by the wind, and Bai Zhi felt sorry for her.

I even felt a little guilty.

They had come all the way from Bincheng to attend her wedding, and she really hadn't been very hospitable to them.

I waited outside all morning in this freezing weather.

I don't know what her grandfather went off to do.

Bai Zhi said apologetically, "Uncle, Aunt, Cousin, Cousin, I'm so sorry to have kept you outside for so long in this cold weather."

Ye Jingsong waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's just that your grandfather hasn't come back for so long, which makes people a little worried."

Bai Zhi led everyone to her doorstep, took out her key, and opened the door.

"Come in quickly, it's too cold outside."

After everyone entered the hall, Ye Jingsong was about to ask Bai Zhi where her grandfather usually liked to go and whether he had any friends.

As a result, Lu Ye, who had just put down the gift box in his hand, noticed an envelope on the table.

The envelope was clearly addressed to "My granddaughter Bai Zhi".

"Xiaobai, Grandpa left a letter."

Bai Zhi, who was busy preparing water for everyone, felt a sudden tremor in her heart upon hearing Lu Ye's words.

"letter?"

She put down the thermos and looked at Lu Ye.

Ye Jingsong and the others also hurriedly looked over.

Ye Jingsong's chubby face fell as his suspicions were confirmed, and he sighed helplessly.

That stubborn old man really did leave.

Bai Zhi took the envelope from Lu Ye's hand.

The letter wasn't sealed; she simply took the letter out of it.

The handwriting above was indeed Ye Rufeng's.

It's just a few very simple sentences.

Bai Zhi's marriage is settled, and he has found his home. He is going to travel for a while.

In the letter, he expressed his apologies to Ye Jinsong's family.

He said he had neglected them and would make it up to them when he returned to Bincheng.

"Why did my grandfather suddenly go traveling again?"

Bai Zhi simply couldn't accept this fact.

This is so sudden.

Didn't the old man already tell her that she was currently living in Nancheng, and that once she finished her work at the military hospital, Lu Ye would find them a shop, complete the formalities, and then they would open a branch of Derentang?

"Uncle, where is my uncle? Has he seen my grandfather again?"

Bai Zhi's intuition told her that something must have happened in the meantime that her grandfather had suddenly left without saying goodbye.

Yesterday, her cousin told her to relax and be a good bride. He said that with his family there, they would definitely be able to ease the tension between her grandfather and uncle.

From yesterday until now, have there been any conflicts between the father and son?
