Chapter 678: Buying Tickets Back to Nancheng

Liu Guifang's nose was running from the cold. She looked at Bai Zhi and felt even more guilty. "Xiao Zhi, you should go and rest. It's freezing to come home with me tonight."

Bai Zhi locked the car and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not cold, you go to sleep."

As she was about to go back inside, she remembered something and looked at Liu Guifang, asking, "By the way, did Wang Yumei go to the city hospital to get more traditional Chinese medicine again?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guifang looked puzzled. "Huh? I didn't know that. I've been busy outside these past few days and haven't seen her. She hasn't come to ask me to accompany her to the doctor either."

Liu Guifang muttered, "Last time she went to the city hospital, they didn't prescribe herbal medicine either, did they?"

She asked Bai Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, why are you suddenly asking about her? Did you see her drinking Chinese medicine?"

Bai Zhi shook her head, "No, I was just asking casually."

"Sister-in-law, you should go and rest. You have to get up early."

"good."

Liu Guifang went back to her room, and Bai Zhi also went back to her and Zhou Lin's room.

At this hour, Zhou Lin is still diligently studying medicine and researching prescriptions. This is her homework every night. After finishing the homework assigned by Ye Rufeng, the studious Zhou Lin still has to study it hard on her own.

Bai Zhi wasn't used to going to bed early either, so in order not to disturb Zhou Lin, she simply went to the main room and watched TV for a while.

Ye Rufeng was watching a TV series, so Bai Zhi joined in.

Just as she was engrossed in watching something exciting, her old mobile phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang.

Bai Zhi didn't bother to take it, and said to Ye Rufeng, "Grandpa, you're closer to the phone, please take it and answer the call."

Ye Rufeng rolled her eyes at her but didn't move. "Don't order me around, you little brat."

"Please answer it. What if it's my uncle calling?"

Bai Zhi cracked open some melon seeds and casually made up an excuse.

Upon hearing this, Ye Rufeng's expression shifted slightly.

Bai Zhi had no intention of answering the phone; seeing that the ringing had been going on for so long, she knew she would be hanging up soon.

He got up as if possessed and picked up the phone.

"Hello."

The person on the other end of the phone was about to speak when they heard Ye Rufeng's voice and were clearly stunned.

Almost instantly, Ye Rufeng realized that the call... was indeed from his son.

"Asparagus?" Ye Rufeng asked tentatively when the other party remained silent.

Ye Tiandong responded awkwardly, "Mm."

"Why are you calling so late?" Ye Rufeng asked in a gentle and natural tone.

Ye Tiandong spoke up, "It's nothing."

"Has the hotel opened yet?" Ye Rufeng asked, initiating a conversation.

"We're opening the day after tomorrow, just letting you know."

"The day after tomorrow?" Ye Tiandong's words caught Ye Rufeng off guard.

I didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Then you should talk to Xiaozhi about it."

Ye Rufeng really didn't know what to talk to his son about, so he handed the phone to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi was listening intently to the father and son's conversation. But they stopped talking after only three sentences.

No wonder my uncle was in such a hurry to leave; he sounded so awkward on the phone. If they were face to face, it would be even more awkward.

We couldn't have a conversation at all.

"uncle."

"Xiao Zhi, our Nancheng Grand Restaurant is opening soon," Ye Tiandong said. "I know you can't come, I just wanted to let you know."

Bai Zhi was overjoyed to hear the news. "Uncle, congratulations! You are my pride and joy. You are so outstanding. We are so happy for you."

"You little rascal, you always have such a sweet tongue."

“Our clinic just opened. If it had been a few days earlier, we might have been able to go back.”

Bai Zhi sounded disappointed, and Ye Tiandong said, "No need to come back. We will open chain hotels in other cities in the future, and we will participate then."

Ye Tiandong remained remarkably calm about opening a restaurant.

But his words stirred Bai Zhi's blood.

That's right, my uncle will become one of the top hotel chain tycoons in China in the future.

This is just the beginning; there will be plenty of opportunities to celebrate later.

"Alright, you guys should get some rest. We're still busy."

"Uncle, Aunt Cui is here too?" Bai Zhi hurriedly said, afraid that he would hang up the phone. "Why don't you two take advantage of this auspicious day and do a double celebration, and get things done with Aunt Cui at the same time?"

"I can't worry about that for now," Ye Tiandong said. "I'll hang up now."

The phone went dead. Bai Zhi put down her cell phone, her face beaming with excitement. "Grandpa, tell me, isn't my uncle amazing?"

Ye Rufeng was secretly delighted, but his face remained aloof.

Bai Zhi looked on with admiration, "He's already opened a big restaurant in the south of the city. In the future, his restaurants will definitely open all over the country."

"Don't exaggerate like that. It would be good if you could open two stores. Opening stores all over the country would be unthinkable."

Bai Zhi said, "No exaggeration, he was a giant in the hotel and catering industry in his previous life."

Bai Zhi has memories of her past life, and Ye Rufeng believes her words, so he naturally believes in his son's abilities as well. A gratified smile appeared on his face.

"It's a pity we can't go back to celebrate with my uncle."

“I can go back,” Ye Rufeng suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi looked at him in surprise, "Grandpa, do you want to go back to Nancheng?"

Ye Rufeng responded, "Yes, I'll go back."

Bai Zhi received his definite answer, and a huge surge of joy welled up inside her. "Okay, my uncle will definitely be happy when you go back."

My grandfather finally agreed to take this step and seized the opportunity to ease tensions with my uncle.

She should give her full support.

She also really wanted to go back to Nancheng.

Bai Zhi suggested, "Let me go back with you."

"Don't go back. It's not good to close the clinic right after it opened."

Ye Rufeng said, "You stay here at the clinic. I'll go back with Linlin and let that girl go home and have a visit too."

Bai Zhi thought that closing down the shop was indeed not a good idea. The key was that she was still thinking about discussing cooperation with the military hospital as soon as possible. If she returned to Nancheng, the matter would have to be put on hold again. She agreed, "Okay."

"Grandpa, I'm so happy that you've suddenly become so open-minded."

Ye Rufeng rolled her eyes at her. She scoffed, "You brat, when have I ever been unreasonable?"

Bai Zhi bluntly exposed his shortcomings, saying, "He was very stubborn before."

Ye Rufeng, "..."

"Don't tell your uncle about this yet."

"clear."

The old man wanted to give his son a surprise!

Bai Zhi smiled and stood up. "Then I'll go to sleep first, and I'll buy you tickets tomorrow morning."

"good."

Bai Zhi didn't even eat breakfast the next morning before riding her motorcycle to the train station and buying two sleeper tickets back to Nancheng.

Train tickets weren't as scarce this season as during the Lunar New Year, and she managed to buy a sleeper berth.

Then I rode my bike back to the clinic, humming a song.

When she passed by the market, she took a detour to check on Liu Guifang's stall.

As a result, after searching the market, they couldn't find Liu Guifang.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but wonder, so she slowly rode her motorcycle around looking for the person.

Finally, in a secluded corner at the end of the market street, I saw a familiar figure.

Bai Zhi saw Liu Guifang sitting in that secluded corner, with no customers eating at her stall.

That side was shady, and the temperature was extremely low early in the morning. Liu Guifang sat there, constantly breathing out warm air.

It looks very cold.

Bai Zhi quickly rode her bicycle over there.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on? Why have you been keeping it here all this time?"
