Chapter 443: Let Lu Shan let it go.

After finishing her meal at the Gu family's house, Bai Zhi wrote a prescription for Gu Changgeng and asked Gu Jingming to go to Jishengtang to get the medicine.

They said that after two courses of treatment, I could regain my vitality.

Of course, you should also pay attention to your diet and keep a cheerful mood.

Gu Jingming paid the medical expenses according to the original treatment standards for Niu Niu.

This time, however, Bai Zhi refused to accept it.

Before leaving, Gu Changgeng escorted Bai Zhi to the door. He wanted to talk to Bai Zhi a little longer before he could feel at ease.

But his wife, son, and daughter-in-law were with him, so there were some things that couldn't be said openly.

He had no choice but to give up.

He comforted himself, telling himself that he should trust Bai Zhi. Just as Niu Niu said, Bai Zhi was an angel, a lucky star who took care of their family.

She wouldn't lie to him.

The girl had no reason to lie to him.

If something were to happen to his son, Bai Zhi would at most offer him a few words of comfort and advise him to think more positively.

He would never take on such a huge responsibility, and he patted his chest to assure him that his son was still alive.

Moreover, he was so concerned before that he didn't think things through.

The old comrade-in-arms he visited was someone he had only heard about from elsewhere.

They said that all the comrades who went out on the mission were wiped out, with no one surviving.

He didn't even confirm the news with his son's unit.

For so many days, no one from the army came, and he was afraid that his family would find out, so he lay alone in bed, feeling miserable.

Now that I've calmed down and thought about it carefully, it seems he misunderstood.

Gu Changgeng planned to send his family out in the afternoon so he could call his superiors in the military and inquire about the situation.

Previously, every time he called, his boss would only offer apologies and words of comfort, without any other useful information. So, he eventually stopped making the calls altogether.

But now he also felt that Bai Zhi was right, no news was good news.

Perhaps his son is somewhere in the world doing great things to protect his country and people. Although he cannot contact his family or reunite with them, they are content as long as he is alive.

"Dr. Bai, how is Dr. Lu Shan doing lately?"

Bai Zhi was also surprised that Old Madam Gu would suddenly ask about Lu Shan.

She paused slightly, then subconsciously looked at the Gu family members who were seeing her off.

Grandma Gu smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to say hello to her."

Sigh, thinking about it carefully, Jingyi's inner pain is no less than ours.

Grandma Gu continued, "We were ignorant before and blamed Jingyi's disappearance on her. So much time has passed, we've come to terms with it and accepted it. In fact, even without Lu Shan, given my son's temper and temperament, he would have made the same choice."

"Your Aunt Gu is right."

Gu Changgeng expressed his complete agreement with his wife's words. Fearing that Bai Zhi might misunderstand, he looked at her and explained sincerely, "Dr. Bai, it's not because Lu Shan is your sister-in-law that we have these thoughts."

Gu Changgeng sighed, "I often think about going to see her, talking to her, and persuading her to let go of the shackles in her heart and find her own happiness. She's not young anymore, and a girl's youth can't be wasted. They've already broken up, and even if Jingyi comes back in the future, I'm afraid there's no chance for them."

Although Bai Zhi said her son was still alive, Gu Changgeng had already prepared himself for the worst.

Whether he could return safely from such a dangerous mission was another matter entirely.

Lu Shan is thirty years old; she shouldn't waste any more time like this.

Moreover, Gu Changgeng also understood that given Chief Lu's prejudice against him, it was impossible for him to allow his granddaughter to have any further development with his son.

Therefore, it would be better to advise Lu Shan to let go sooner rather than later.

They are not on the same wavelength at all.

Gu Changgeng had wanted to go see Lu Shan many times before, but after hearing bad news, he became bedridden and gave up the idea of ​​going to see Lu Shan.

Since Bai Zhi happened to be here today, he made a request to her, "Xiao Bai, could you please convey our family's wishes to Dr. Lu Shan?"

"Mr. Gu, I will pass on your words to my sister-in-law."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

Bai Zhi left the Gu family, and Gu Jingming also went out with her to Jishengtang.

It was the weekend, and Bai Zhi glanced at her watch. She thought it was almost 2 p.m., so there was no need for her to go back to the military compound.

But then I thought Lu Shan might be home today.

She still plans to go back.

Bai Zhi hailed a taxi and rushed to the military hospital.

Today is Sunday, and everyone is at home.

When she entered, the whole family was sitting on the sofa, all looking quite serious, as if they were discussing something important.

Lu Hai and Lu Shan, who don't usually participate in small family meetings, were also present today.

Lu Hai, who was speaking angrily, suddenly felt a hint of unease when he saw Bai Zhi returning home.

His eyes darted around, and he looked down, too embarrassed to look at her.

The thought of the prescription she gave him made him so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground.

Traditional Chinese medicine is so amazing that it even stripped him bare of his underwear.

The person was a woman, his cousin's wife, and she was younger than him.

If she adheres to professional ethics, that's fine. But if she's a blabbermouth, and the old man finds out he's so young and has serious kidney deficiency, he'll beat him to death.

"Xiao Zhi is back?"

When Wang Shufen saw Bai Zhi return, she was exceptionally enthusiastic, getting up to greet her, even more excited than Lu Xieyun, the actual mother-in-law.

"Second Aunt".

Bai Zhi avoided her touch and greeted her indifferently.

Xie Yun invited her daughter-in-law to sit down next to her.

When Zhang Ma saw Bai Zhi return from outside, she brought out a bowl of ginger soup from the kitchen and handed it to her with a kind face, saying that it was made this morning and that everyone should drink a bowl to ward off the cold after returning from outside.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang."

Bai Zhi took it and downed it in one gulp.

"Xiao Zhi, we were just talking about Lu Ya."

Lu Zheng'an looked at Bai Zhi and asked her directly, "We heard that Lu Ya has been staying at your place at night recently."

Lu Zheng'an did not explain where he heard it from.

"Yes, Dad."

Bai Zhi looked at them and said, "When I went back the night before last, she was waiting for me at the door and asked if I could stay the night."

Bai Zhi looked at Wang Shufen, who had a worried expression, and continued in a calm tone, "Yesterday she went out to look for a job, but the results were not satisfactory. She had nowhere to go in the evening, so she came here again."

"She went out to look for a job again today."

Although Wang Shufen knew that Lu Ya had been running around these past two days, her voice still betrayed her heartache after hearing Bai Zhi's words, "It's definitely going to be hard to find a job at the end of the year."

As soon as Wang Shufen finished speaking, Lu Hai said angrily, "Even if it's hard to find someone, let her go find someone. Let her know how difficult it is to survive in society. Does she really think money grows on trees? If she's so capable, let her earn her own money in the future and squander thousands of dollars on keeping other men. Let's see if she has the ability."

Old Master Lu didn't comment on this, but his expression became even more unpleasant.

Wang Shufen looked at Bai Zhi, about to say something, but was stopped by Lu Hai with a dark face, "Mom, don't say anything, you're not allowed to bring her back."
