Chapter 406: Who is Chen Zhen?

Upon hearing Bai Zhi mention Sister Chen, Old Mrs. Zhou looked blank and asked, "What Sister Chen?"

Bai Zhi's eyes flickered slightly as she reminded him, "It's that sister we're with."

She didn't know whether Grandma Chen was the older or younger sister, or who among them was the oldest.

She could only mention it vaguely.

Let's see if Grandma Zhou remembers that person.

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she looked at Old Mrs. Zhou with great nervousness, observing the old lady's reaction.

Grandma Zhou paused for a moment, then pouted and said irritably,

You mean Chen Zhen?

"Wasn't she just writing and drawing there the whole time?"

After finishing her sentence, Old Mrs. Zhou glanced around the corner of the room and asked in surprise, "Where is she?"

"What about Chen Zhen? Was she also taken away for questioning?"

Grandma Zhou snorted, "She's so cold-hearted, she deserves to be arrested. Let's ignore her."

Bai Zhi's face showed delight.

Chen Zhen.

It turns out that the grandmother who did scientific research was named Chen Zhen.

She silently memorized the name.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Grandma Zhou couldn't bear it any longer and whispered, "Wanqing, let's think of a way. Although I hate that woman, she is a pitiful person just like us. I still can't bear to see her suffer."

"Okay, I'll think of a way. Don't get agitated."

Bai Zhi held her hand and gently comforted her, "She probably just went to the bathroom, it's okay, it's okay."

After Bai Zhi said that, Old Madam Zhou calmed down a bit.

But soon, she noticed another problem. She looked at Bai Zhi, whose face was glowing, and asked in confusion, "Are you Wan Qing? Why are you wearing such beautiful clothes? You don't look like Wan Qing. Who are you?"

"I......."

Bai Zhi didn't know how to answer, but then she had a sudden inspiration and said, "Sister, we're free now, we've been exonerated, have you forgotten?"

"Exonerated?" Old Mrs. Zhou stared blankly for a moment, recalling the events, then looked at Bai Zhi and asked in a ghostly voice, "Weren't you dead?"

"Wanqing is dead."

A terrible memory seemed to resurface in her mind, and she became agitated again. Clutching her hair, she cried out, "My best friend Wanqing is dead! She's dead! I'm so scared! Please come and save me!"

Dr. Zhou and Grandpa Zhou heard the commotion outside and rushed in.

Dr. Zhou quickly hugged his mother, "Mom, calm down."

Grandma Zhou resisted with a terrified expression, "Who are you? Let me go!"

“I am your son, Huaiyi.”

Dr. Zhou's tone was full of helplessness.

He has to explain to his elderly mother several times a day that he is her son.

“My son, yes, I have a son, I have two sons.”

After speaking, Grandma Zhou looked him up and down with unfamiliar eyes, "Why does my son look so old?"

"I'm only twenty years old, my son can't possibly be that old."

Dr. Zhou patiently explained that the old lady was seventy years old, not twenty.

"Mom, come on, let me take you back to your room to rest."

Director Zhou looked at his mother with a sense of helplessness.

He looked at Bai Zhi and sighed, "Dr. Bai, do you think there are any good traditional Chinese medicine treatments for my mother's condition? I've noticed that the medicines brought from abroad aren't very effective."

Bai Zhi said, "Director Zhou, let Grandma Zhou take it for a while longer and see how it goes. In her current condition, she won't cooperate with acupuncture."

Bai Zhi knew that Western medicine was actually more effective than traditional Chinese medicine in treating Alzheimer's disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine is not a panacea.

They should also recognize the value of Western medicine.

Director Zhou sighed, "That's all we can do."

Her mother was sometimes lucid and sometimes confused, so it was definitely unrealistic to expect her to cooperate with acupuncture.

The old man is very willful now.

The Zhou family wanted Bai Zhi to stay for dinner, but then Grandma Zhou became confused again. Doctor Zhou and his father hurriedly helped Grandma Zhou back to her room, and Bai Zhi felt embarrassed to stay any longer.

She said goodbye to Director Zhou, "Director Zhou, I'll be leaving now."

"Dr. Bai, please stay for dinner," Director Zhou urged her.

"No, you all take care of Grandma Zhou. I'll just come to see the old lady. It's getting late, so I'll head back now."

She felt quite embarrassed that the old man got so emotional as soon as she arrived.

In this situation, there's no way we can let them stay for a meal.

It was cold outside, so Bai Zhi planned to eat a bowl of noodles at a restaurant and then go back inside.

As a result, before she even got to the restaurant, she received a call from home asking her to come back for dinner.

He said he specially made dumplings for her to eat when she got home over the weekend.

The call was from Grandpa Lu. The old man sounded very enthusiastic, and Bai Zhi couldn't bear to refuse, so she could only reply, "Grandpa, I'll be back in a bit."

The name Chen Zhen was on her mind the whole way.

Judging by the timeline, this Grandma Chen is now retired.

However, as researchers, they should still be contributing their remaining energy in important positions.

She really didn't know where to ask about Grandma Chen.

After all, her profession is special, and her personal information cannot be easily obtained.

Bai Zhi was preoccupied with her thoughts the whole way, and only when the driver reminded her that they had arrived did she come back to her senses.

I paid the fare and got off the bus.

When she returned to the military compound, her family was all there, which was a rare occurrence for them.

Lu Shan and Xie Yun were both in the kitchen helping to make dumplings.

The three of them chatted happily in the kitchen.

Bai Zhi walked in, smiling, and asked, "Do you need my help?"

When Xie Yun saw her daughter-in-law return, she smiled and said in a doting tone, "No need, no need, it'll be ready soon. Wash your hands and wait for dinner."

"Mom, have my second aunt and Lu Ya come back?" Bai Zhi asked curiously.

Mentioning Wang Shufen, Xie Yun's expression turned slightly serious, and she gently reminded her, "You're back. Your second aunt might not be feeling well today; she's resting."

Bai Zhi understood.

Her mother-in-law was telling her to avoid Wang Shufen.

Bai Zhi went back inside, took off her cotton-padded coat, and put on a light cotton-padded lining.

As she passed Lu Ya's room, she heard what sounded like crying coming from inside.

She paused at the door for two seconds, but didn't disturb them, and went straight downstairs.

Steaming hot dumplings were served, and Lu Shan went to call Wang Shufen to eat.

"Zhang Ma, please call Lu Ya."

Wang Shufen said, "Shanshan, don't call her. Let's eat our food."

Wang Shufen told her not to call out, and Zhang Ma obediently went straight to the kitchen.

Lu Shan glanced at Wang Shufen suspiciously, but said nothing more.

At the dinner table, when Grandpa Lu noticed that Lu Ya was not there, he asked Wang Shufen, "What's wrong with Xiao Ya again? I've seen her with a long face ever since she came back. Who upset her this time?"

When Lu Ya was mentioned, Old Master Lu's tone was full of displeasure.

Wang Shufen said weakly, "Dad, let's not worry about her, let's eat first, we'll talk about it after we finish eating."

Upon hearing Wang Shufen's words, Bai Zhi lifted her eyelids and glanced at her.

What does "eat first, then talk" mean?

Could it be that Wang Shufen is planning to tell her family about Lu Ya?

She has always been concerned about her image, and she has been openly or secretly competing with her in-laws.

Comparing children to each other.

Why would she suddenly decide to reveal Lu Ya's shameful secret?
