Chapter 642: Don't be fooled

Chapter 642: Don't be fooled

Wang Shufen insisted on attending the opening ceremony of Baizhi Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.

Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun couldn't refuse outright, so they could only place their hopes on the old man.

Hopefully, the old man can stop her.

Grandpa Lu naturally understood Lu Zheng'an's meaning. He said to Wang Shufen, "I told Shao'an that Jincheng is close to Lu Ye's place. Either he or Lu Hai can go and participate if they have time. The journey is far, so you don't need to go."

Wang Shufen had her own plans. "Dad, since they're going to attend, I'll go see them. One of them is my husband, and the other is my son. They've been away from home since the New Year, and I've missed them quite a bit. This is a good opportunity for our family to reunite."

Seeing that Wang Shufen had made up her mind, Old Master Lu sighed deeply, "Why can't you understand what I'm saying?"

“I understand, you’re just afraid I’ll cause trouble, right? I’ve already said I’ll pay for my own travel and accommodation. Besides wanting my family to be reunited, I also want to see Doctor Ye again for a second opinion and get a prescription. If you don’t want me to come with you, I can go by myself. I’m a patient, it’s perfectly reasonable for me to see a doctor, you can’t object to that, can you?”

Wang Shufen was also a little angry. She and Bai Zhi had only had a minor disagreement when Bai Zhi first arrived in Nancheng, and as an elder, she had apologized and admitted her mistake. After that, she got along very well with Bai Zhi, so why were they always so wary of her?

Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun thought they were so high and mighty.

When Bai Zhi first arrived at the military hospital, didn't she look down on her from the bottom of her heart?

They're just putting on a show of magnanimity.

After hearing Wang Shufen's words, Old Master Lu was speechless and had no reason to stop her.

He looked at Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun, and could only wave his hand, "Why don't you let your sister-in-law go with you? Then call the second brother and ask him to come too, so that the whole family can get together there."

The second son and his wife have been living apart for a long time, and it's not good for them not to see each other.

Although this daughter-in-law has many flaws and shortcomings, the two children are already so grown up, so family harmony should be the priority no matter what.

Old Master Lu knew perfectly well that Lu Shaoan's long-term business trips away from home were indeed a recipe for disaster. Although he often reminded his second son to maintain proper conduct, they were both wealthy business owners now, and who could guarantee their safety while they were away...

Since the old man had spoken, Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun had no room to refuse.

But I was still worried.

Lu Zheng'an reminded Wang Shufen, "Sister-in-law, if you think you can handle the long journey, then come along. This time, Xiaozhi and Doctor Ye's TCM clinic is opening, so we'll just attend the ceremony and come back. It's close to the military base there, so we need to keep a low profile in the future. We can't cause trouble for Lu Ye, and we definitely can't anger Doctor Ye."

Wang Shufen, despite her age, was so clearly reprimanded by Lu Zheng'an. She said, "Brother, I'm not that unreasonable. You don't need to keep an eye on me. My son Shao'an will be there too. After the event, I'd like to go with him to their coal mine. I've stayed at home for so many years and haven't been involved in his work. This is a good opportunity for me to go and take a look around."

"You two can decide this yourselves."

After Bai Zhi called home, Lu Ye also called Xie Zheng.

Although Xie Zheng might be too busy to come over recently, we still need to notify him. Otherwise, given that kid's temper, he'll definitely find fault with us later.

After Lu Ye announced the opening date, Xie Zheng launched into a tirade, "Couldn't you two have informed me earlier? There are only four or five days left. How am I supposed to make it? I have a ton of work to do. We need to promote our record after it's released. We're under contract now, and our time isn't even our own."

Lu Ye said in a nonchalant tone, "It's nothing. We just wanted to let you know. It's okay if you don't come. Work is more important."

Hearing his nonchalant tone, Xie Zheng became even angrier. "I think you'd be happy if I didn't go. Is this how you treat someone? Are we even friends?"

He said dismissively, "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm talking to Xiaozhi."

“My wife is very busy,” Lu Ye said.

"What are you so busy with? You're using her cell phone to make a call, and she's sitting right next to you. Give her the phone now. You guys don't treat people like friends at all."

Upon hearing Xie Zheng's complaints, Bai Zhi took the phone from Lu Ye and said "hello."

Xie Zheng was much kinder to Bai Zhi than he was to Lu Ye. He explained, "Xiao Zhi, I'm busy with work and might not be able to come and support you. I'm really sorry, please understand. I'll come see you when I have time later."

Bai Zhi laughed and said, "It's alright, it's alright. You go ahead with your work. You're a big star now, so your schedule must be very full. We understand that. We can talk about it another time."

Xie Zheng was repeatedly referred to as a big star by Bai Zhi, which made him quite embarrassed. He tossed his parted hair and said in a shy tone, "What big star? Can we not be so sarcastic with each other? It makes me quite embarrassed."

He said to Bai Zhi, "I was going to send you records, but I'll have my aunt bring them to you when she goes over."

"Okay, no problem. Just remember to give everyone one, don't give less than one."

"It's you, Shen Qian, and Ye Qingbai, right?"

Mentioning Shen Qian, Xie Zheng casually asked, "By the way, what's Shen Qian up to lately? It's been a long time since we've been in touch."

"Why are you asking about her?" Bai Zhi asked meaningfully.

Xie Zheng's voice sounded quite frank: "Why can't I inquire about her? We haven't heard from her in so long, is it wrong to ask? We're all friends, isn't it only natural to care about each other?"

"She's busy," Bai Zhi said casually.

Xie Zheng asked, "Is she very busy with work?"

"It's not all about work. She's not getting any younger, and she's busy dating."

After Bai Zhi said this, there was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow. "Xie Zheng, why aren't you saying anything?"

"Oh, it's nothing."

He coughed lightly and asked again in a nonchalant tone, "Chen Qian is dating someone??"

"Yeah, I've talked to someone."

After receiving Bai Zhi's affirmative answer, Xie Zheng remained silent for a few seconds before solemnly instructing her, "She hasn't been in contact with men for so many years. She definitely has no experience in this area. You guys need to help advise her when she's dating, and make sure she doesn't get deceived."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly. "Mr. Xie, what are you saying? Shen Qian is an adult with normal thinking and independent reasoning abilities. How could she possibly be deceived when it comes to dating?"

Xie Zheng coughed lightly and explained, "I meant in case."

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Then don't worry, the guy she's dating is in military uniform, so he's definitely a reliable person."
