Chapter 643: Wanting to See Doctor Ye

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, there was another moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long while, Xie Zheng spoke.

"Oh, that's good."

Bai Zhi sensed a hint of disappointment in Xie Zheng's tone.

After hanging up the phone, she said to Lu Ye, "If I tell Xie Zheng about Shen Qian's relationship, will he be jealous?"

Lu Ye spoke up, "He won't. He'll be relieved."

"That's not necessarily true. Some people are just like that; they don't cherish what they have when they have it, but they feel sorry for it when they lose it."

Lu Ye looked at Bai Zhi and said with certainty, "He won't. He's already said he'll never get married in this life. He'd love for Shen Qian to find someone to marry quickly so she won't bother him anymore."

Shen Qian's continued singleness is also a psychological burden for Xie Zheng.

He had clearly rejected Shen Qian many times, which meant he didn't like her and had no feelings for her.

However, Shen Qian was too persistent and unwilling to give up.

Over the years, two stubborn and headstrong people have suffered for each other.

Shen Qian has now emerged from her pedantry.

Xie Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Zheng may seem carefree, but he is more devoted than anyone else. He will probably remain chaste for Xiao Wei for the rest of his life.

Bai Zhi felt relieved after Lu Ye said that.

Hopefully, she's overthinking it.

There was only a hint of love between Shen Qianwen and Ye Qingbai.

We absolutely mustn't let it get extinguished.

"By the way, my maternal grandfather is here. Does my cousin know?" Bai Zhi asked Lu Ye.

Lu Ye spoke up, "Their company has been quite busy these past few days, so I haven't had a chance to tell him yet. Let's wait until the weekend."

...

Before we knew it, it was the day before the clinic was to open.

Lu Zheng'an, Xie Yun, and Wang Shufen arrived in the county town on the afternoon of the 30th after a bumpy long journey on a green train.

Lu Ye took some time to go to the train station with Bai Zhi to pick someone up.

Upon exiting the station, Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun saw Lu Ye and Bai Zhi waiting there and excitedly ran towards them. Lu Zheng'an gave his son a rare hug, and Xie Yun also hugged Bai Zhi.

Previously, the couple had a rather distant relationship with their son.

Since Mr. Lu was injured last year and had a brush with death, they have cherished every moment they can see their son even more.

Having not seen his son for several months, Lu Zheng'an was filled with pride when he saw his son standing there tall and straight.

We parents only feel at ease when we see our son, as long as he is safe, healthy, and unharmed.

Unable to resist, he hugged him. Lu Ye's body stiffened noticeably because of his father's action.

After a few seconds of hesitation, she reached out and put her arm around her father's back, giving him a hug.

Xie Yun looked Bai Zhi up and down, her eyes filled with heartache. "Xiao Zhi, have you been working very hard lately? You look so dark and thin."

Bai Zhi touched her face and said with a smile, "Mom, I haven't lost weight. Maybe it's because the weather is warmer and I'm out more often, so my skin has gotten a bit darker."

Xie Yun, the mother-in-law, was noticeably more talkative when she met her daughter-in-law this time, saying, "It's been so long since we last met, the whole family has missed you all very much."

"Lu Ye and I miss you too."

"Xiaozhi, your second aunt misses you too, and Xiaoya at home is always thinking about you, her cousin-in-law."

When Wang Shufen leaned over and spoke, Bai Zhi's attention finally shifted to her. She let go of Xie Yun's hand and greeted Wang Shufen, "Second Aunt, you're here too."

Wang Shufen smiled brightly, quite affectionately, "Of course I'll come. It's such a big event, how could I not come?"

Xie Yun, afraid that Bai Zhi would be angry, tried to smooth things over by explaining, "It's like this, your second uncle might also be coming. Your grandfather said that he'd like your second aunt and your second uncle to go to his company for a while, and then your second aunt will come over together."

Bai Zhi responded, "Oh, that's good."

"Dad, Mom, Second Sister-in-law, the hotel has been booked for you. Let's go there first."

Lu Ye and Bai Zhi carried their luggage, picked them up, and took them directly to their hotel room.

Wang Shufen then took out her money.

She handed a wad of cash to Lu Ye and said, "Xiao Ye, I promised your grandfather when I came that I would not cause you any trouble. I will pay for the hotel. You can keep this money."

Wang Shufen's actions made everyone present feel extremely awkward, especially Lu Ye. Looking at the money Wang Shufen handed over, his handsome face darkened slightly. "Second Aunt, don't do this. You've come all this way, how can you let yourself pay for your own accommodation?"

Wang Shufen explained with a wronged expression, "I'm afraid that if I go back, your grandfather will find fault with me."

"No, you can keep the money safe." Lu Ye pushed her hand back, naturally there was no way he would accept the money.

Wang Shufen's actions also made Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun's expressions unpleasant.

Lu Zheng'an spoke up, "Xiao Ye is right, we're all family, don't be so formal."

Wang Shufen had no choice but to put the money away.

"Dad, Mom, you two live here, and my second aunt lives across the hall."

After leading them into the room and putting away their luggage, I told them to rest for a while and go out for dinner later.

Wang Shufen, however, had no time to rest. She had slept the entire train journey and wasn't too tired. Having finally met Bai Zhi, she naturally asked about what she was most interested in: "Xiao Zhi, where is your grandfather? Where does he live? Does he live with you?"

Bai Zhi replied, "No, he has his own place to live."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shufen inquired again, "Does he live far from us? We've come all this way, so we'd like to pay our respects to Doctor Ye first."

Wang Shufen said she was visiting her maternal grandfather, but Bai Zhi naturally knew Wang Shufen's true intentions.

She said, "No need to rush, see you tomorrow."

"But..." Wang Shufen thought about how many people would be there tomorrow and how busy she would be. She didn't know if Doctor Ye would have time to examine her pulse.

What if Ye Shaoan comes, attends the opening ceremony, and then leaves immediately?
