Chapter 360: The old man has great ambitions.

When Bai Zhi asked about Ye Tiandong, Ye Jingsong's expression became somewhat subtle.

He posed the question to Ye Qingbo, "Qingbo, tell your cousin what's going on."

Bai Zhi could tell from Ye Jingsong's reaction that something must have happened between yesterday and now.

She looked at Ye Qingbo, waiting for his explanation.

Ye Qingbo said, "After the wedding yesterday, my uncle drank too much, so I sent him to my second grandfather's place and let him sleep in the north room. But around nine o'clock at night, he sobered up and went back to the hotel. We don't know if he had a fight with my second grandfather or anything during that time."

Bai Zhi looked helpless after hearing Ye Qingbai's explanation.

Her maternal grandfather and uncle were both stubborn, and without someone to mediate, it was impossible for them to reconcile.

Unfortunately, even now, Grandma Zhou remains confused and unable to clearly recall what happened back then.

Her uncle completely ignored what Grandpa Zhou said.

"Uncle, don't worry. My grandfather often travels around alone, right? He'll be back in a while."

Ye Jingsong looked worried. "Xiao Zhi, that's true, but he's getting on in years, and he left in a huff. We're always uneasy and very worried about him."

It's truly heartbreaking for the younger generation to see their elders still wandering the world in their old age.

Wasn't Bai Zhi's heart just like his?

The old man left without saying goodbye, and I was truly upset.

Her cousin was right. After all, the old man was getting on in years. Although he was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, they weren't worried about him getting sick, but he was traveling alone and was bound to encounter accidents. What would they do if something happened to him?

"Where is my uncle?" Bai Zhi asked Ye Jingsong.

Ye Jingsong replied, "He went to the station to buy tickets. He said he had lunch with someone to discuss business, and we'll go back to Bincheng together this afternoon."

Bai Zhi felt reluctant to see them leave Nancheng that afternoon. "Uncle, stay a few more days before you go back. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to spend much time with you."

“We’ve stayed long enough. If it weren’t for your wedding, we would never have been able to leave home for so long. This time we’ve broken our record.”

Wang Lan added, "Yes, we have to go back and check on the pig farm. Just before we came, two sows gave birth to two litters of piglets, a total of twenty. I'm quite worried about that. What if my brother doesn't take good care of them and I lose a few?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi didn't press the matter any further. Everyone was very busy, and it was only out of respect for her niece that they had put aside their work at the pig farm and come all the way to see her off on her wedding day.

Lu Ye glanced at his watch and said to everyone, "It's lunchtime now, let's go out to eat and chat while we eat."

Ye Jingsong said to just eat whatever was available, but Lu Ye and Bai Zhi still took them to Juxianglou, the restaurant they had visited before.

The second floor has private rooms, which offer better privacy for them to talk and chat while eating.

After arriving at the restaurant and ordering food, Bai Zhi asked Ye Qingbai for details about yesterday's events.

She and Lu Ye really didn't have time for anything yesterday.

Ye Qingbai felt a little guilty in front of Bai Zhi.

After all, it was he who insisted on sending Ye Tiandong to his second grandfather's house yesterday.

If he hadn't taken it upon himself to prevent the father and son from meeting, the conflict wouldn't have happened.

If the conflict doesn't erupt, it can remain stalled indefinitely.

"Cousin, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I didn't think it through."

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Cousin, this has nothing to do with you. I know you mean well. We all have the same thoughts and goals: to make them reconcile. It's just that they are both too stubborn."

Bai Zhi then asked them if they knew what exactly had happened between her uncle and her maternal grandfather.

Everyone shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.

Last night, after Ye Tiandong returned to the hotel, he only told them not to get involved in the matter anymore, but they had no idea what he had said to his father or whether they had fought.

But based on their understanding of the father and son, even if they didn't fight, they would definitely engage in some harsh words.

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

Bai Zhi was afraid that her cousin's family would feel guilty about this, so she smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Cousin, please don't feel pressured about this. Didn't my grandfather say in his letter that he would be returning to Bincheng in a while? I guess the reason he suddenly left without saying goodbye is largely because I got married and he was all alone at home. He probably got used to the liveliness during this period, and he felt a little uncomfortable when the house suddenly became quiet, so he went out for a walk."

"In addition, he is working on a disease that he is trying to overcome. He is going out to find herbs and study medicine. The old man is an ambitious person and he will not be confined at home to enjoy life like other elderly people. Let's just let him be."

Ye Qingbai felt a little better and nodded, "My cousin is right. My second grandfather is a miracle doctor. He has more important things to do and won't get bogged down in these trivial family matters."

Bai Zhi's words eased Ye Jingsong's heavy mood somewhat.

Indeed, his second uncle was no ordinary person.

His medical skills were not developed by staying at home and researching behind closed doors. He spent a lot of time and effort traveling around, studying the growth environment and medicinal properties of various Chinese herbal medicines, and visiting patients with various difficult and complicated diseases to gain experience in treating diseases.

That's how I achieved my current fame and success.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingsong suddenly relaxed.

Although Bai Zhi was worried about her maternal grandfather, in order not to put any psychological burden on her uncle's family, she pretended not to care and happily ate a meal with them.

Bai Zhi looked at Ye Jingsong and said in a muffled voice, "Uncle, I really hate to see you go home today. I don't know when we'll see each other again."

They are all her family members who care about her the most. Although they have only known each other for a short time, their relationship has already transcended that of ordinary relatives.

Looking at them, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and felt truly reluctant to part.

She was truly grateful for their visit.

"When you have time, just go to Bincheng. What's so difficult about that?" Ye Jingsong said with a smile. "Transportation is so convenient now. Look, Lu Ye's car can drive directly to Bincheng. This was something we wouldn't have dared to dream of before."

Wang Lan also generously offered, "Yes, when you have time, go to Bincheng. We'll slaughter a pig then, and I'll give you pork to eat."

"good."

Ye Jinsong is a sentimental person. Looking at his lively and playful niece, he couldn't help but think of his cousin Ye Peilan.

If only my cousin were still alive.

She would be overjoyed to see her daughter get married to such an excellent son-in-law.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingsong felt a mix of emotions, and his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

Fearing he would spoil everyone's mood, he excused himself to go to the restroom and left the private room.

Go outside to calm your emotions.
