Chapter 665: The Social Butterfly
Ye Qingbai highly praised Bai Zhi's cooking skills.
Others chimed in, saying that her cooking skills were good enough to open a restaurant.
"I just enjoy cooking for my family," Bai Zhi said with a smile. "I feel that treating patients better demonstrates my value."
"By the way, Grandpa, are there any more patients this afternoon?" she asked Ye Rufeng.
“There is one.”
Ye Qingbai recalled the figure of the person standing at the entrance of the pharmacy, and wondered who else he was thinking of, his expression becoming subtle.
He originally wanted to gossip a bit more, but remembering that his second grandfather would scold him for it, he didn't dare to inquire any further.
"Cousin, you're just eating like this, aren't you going to say anything?" Bai Zhi glanced at the carefree Ye Qingbai and reminded him quietly.
Ye Qingbai understood Bai Zhi's meaning, scratched his head awkwardly, chuckled, and stood up.
"I've been wanting to announce our good news to everyone for a long time." He pulled Shen Qian up, gesturing for her to stand up as well, and then solemnly said, "Let me formally introduce myself to everyone. My current identity is Shen Qian's boyfriend."
He looked at Shen Qian with affection and said smugly, "After my intense pursuit, Comrade Shen Qian finally agreed to date me."
"Everyone, please congratulate us!"
Congratulations!
Lu Ye was quite cooperative. He, who was usually very sparing with words, unusually added two more words: "You two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. I wish you a speedy marriage."
Bai Zhi: "Xiao Qian, cousin, congratulations!"
Ye Rufeng also showed a loving expression, "You brat, cherish this opportunity and don't get cocky."
"Second Grandfather, I'm not bragging, I just feel incredibly happy right now."
Ye Rufeng waved his hand, "Sit down quickly, Xiaoqian. If he misbehaves in the future, tell me, and I'll discipline him for his father."
Shen Qian was also well-behaved and adorable in front of her elders, "Okay, Grandpa Ye."
After dinner, Ye Rufeng followed Bai Zhi into the kitchen while she was away.
He coughed lightly and asked in a low voice, "Girl, do you have any money?"
Grandpa, how much do you want?
Ye Rufeng said, "Give me two hundred."
"I want new banknotes."
"Okay, I'll go get it."
When Bai Zhi opened her clinic, she received a lot of red envelopes (cash gifts).
My parents-in-law, uncle, and Lu Shaoan each gave me 500 yuan.
I haven't had time to deposit the cash in the bank yet.
She went to the bedroom and found four brand-new fifty-yuan bills from a stack of money.
"Grandpa, here you go."
Ye Rufeng took the money and went to the living room.
Then he gave the money to Shen Qian.
"Xiaoqian, this is a small token of my appreciation as an elder. Please accept it."
Shen Qian looked at the money in Ye Rufeng's hand with a puzzled expression. "Grandpa Ye, what's this?"
"Take it."
Ye Qingbai reminded him from the side, "This is my family's approval of your performance."
"You're on your way, just wait to admit your relationship with me."
Ye Rufeng said, "Qingbai's father is far away in Bincheng, so I'm giving you a red envelope on his behalf. It's just a matter of courtesy. It's not much money, but please take it."
After Chen Qian understood why Ye Rufeng had given her the money, she met the old man's sincere eyes, accepted the money, bowed, and thanked him, "Thank you, Grandpa Ye."
Shen Qian was dating for the first time and didn't quite understand these etiquette rules.
At this moment, looking at Ye Rufeng's loving face, Ye Qingbai's doting gaze, and Lu Ye and Bai Zhi's aunt-like smiles, she felt very happy.
It's truly delightful to feel valued and blessed.
Down-to-earth.
In comparison, I was so foolish and pathetic before.
At this point, she also realized a truth.
In matters of the heart, there is no right or wrong.
It's simply a matter of liking or disliking.
The person who loves you doesn't need you to give anything; they will naturally strive to be with you.
If someone doesn't love you, no matter how much you give, they will only see you as a burden.
It's your so-called love that's bothering him.
Thinking of this, Shen Qian smiled bitterly.
She should let it go.
The right thing to do is to seize the happiness in front of you.
Ye Rufeng solemnly lectured him, "Qingbai, now that you're in a relationship, you should be more mature. In the future, you need to shoulder the responsibilities of a man and never let Xiaoqian down, understand?"
Ye Qingbai patted his chest and assured, "Second Grandfather, don't worry, I am absolutely responsible and have the guts. The men of our Ye family are only meant to be let down by women, but we will never let down our own women."
Everyone gasped, "!!!"
Bai Zhi was speechless. "Cousin, can't you speak properly?"
Ye Qingbai was rolled his eyes at by everyone. Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, his handsome face turned embarrassed. He hurriedly tried to make amends, "I will never let Xiaoqian down. I believe that Xiaoqian will not let me down either. We love each other and will be happy forever."
Ye Qingbai tried to make amends, but Ye Rufeng's expression was no longer as kind as before.
Actually, what this kid said wasn't entirely unreasonable.
The men of the Ye family are indeed destined to be let down by women.
Ye Qingbai's father, Ye Jingsong, was a devoted lover in his younger years, but was abandoned by Ye Qingbai's biological mother.
His foolish son, Ye Tiandong, was also deceived by a woman last year and was cuckolded. He almost ended up raising someone else's child.
Hopefully, Ye Qingbai can break the curse and prevent a repeat of the same mistake.
Ye Rufeng glanced at Chen Qian, and his concerns instantly vanished.
Shen Qian is a soldier with a proper style, principled and disciplined, unlike ordinary people.
After the meal, Shen Qian took the opportunity to ask Ye Rufeng a lot of questions about traditional Chinese medicine.
Afterwards, Ye Qingbai and Shen Qian first sent Ye Rufeng and Zhou Lin back to the county town, and then sent Shen Qian back to the military hospital.
Bai Zhi didn't mention to Shen Qian that they were going to visit the military hospital.
.........
That day, Bai Zhi arrived at the clinic early.
"Grandpa, today is the day we arranged to go to the hospital with Dean Liu. Should we close the shop this afternoon or what?"
"Let Linlin stay," Ye Rufeng said. "We've just opened, so we shouldn't close down so easily. Linlin can stay and watch the store. If there are patients, let them come back tomorrow. You can still get your medicine dispensed as usual."
"good."
A short while later, Bai Zhi received a call from Dean Liu.
When asked what time they would arrive, they said they would send a car to pick them up.
Bai Zhi said, "Dean Liu, we can go there ourselves this afternoon, please don't be so polite."
After the meal, Ye Rufeng signaled to Bai Zhi to set off immediately.
It was still lunch break, and he meant that he didn't need to notify Dean Liu; he should go to the hospital for a look around first.
"Grandpa, are you trying to catch people off guard?"
Ye Rufeng said in a calm tone, "I don't like leaders accompanying me to put on a show."
Bai Zhi rode her motorcycle, carrying Ye Rufeng, the grandfather and grandson, to the military hospital.
Bai Zhi skillfully parked the motorcycle in the hospital's parking shed.
Afterwards, I took my grandfather for a walk around the hospital.
Occasionally, doctors who have seen Bai Zhi pass by and greet her warmly.
"You seem to know this place pretty well?"
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "When I was treating Officer Sun, I came to the hospital almost every day in the early stages, and I got to know many doctors during the consultations."
Ye Rufeng was rather aloof, but he saw that Bai Zhi was so approachable and always smiling at everyone.
A soft glow also touched his face.
This girl truly lives up to her reputation of having lived two lives.
Generous and confident, bright and kind.
A natural social butterfly.
