Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 749 I Still Know Some Things
"I just heard Xiaochun say at home that you asked her to try on her wedding dress tomorrow morning... What's going on??"

On the basketball court, Lu Yuanqiu was startled upon hearing these words.

That afternoon, when Lu Yuanqiu arrived at the old spot where he used to play basketball with Liu Chengye, Liu Chengye walked over with a basketball in his hand and questioned him before he could even say hello.

Actually, Liu Chengye's last question was, "She's marrying you?", but seeing two girls following behind Lu Yuanqiu, he changed it to, "What's going on?"

This guy brings his whole family along when he goes out to play ball... Liu Chengye recognized the two girls who came with him as Lu Yuanqiu's third sister and Lu Yuanqiu's girlfriend.

Lu Yuanqiu was bewildered: "That's what she told you?"

Liu Chengye: "Pretty much the same, huh? It gave me quite a shock. I was wondering why I, as the father, only received the news of my daughter's wedding so late..."

Bai Qingxia couldn't help but chuckle. Liu Wangchun always spoke in this tone, and she could imagine that Liu Wangchun's tone at the time must have been very excited.

When this guy gets excited, she's completely oblivious to whether what he says is ambiguous.

Lu Yuanqiu explained, "Our friend is getting married, and she's the best man. We'll go try on clothes together tomorrow."

"The more I listen, the more confused I get," Liu Chengye stopped in his tracks.

Lu Yuanqiu's expression was blank: "...She wanted to be the best man herself."

"Ah." Liu Chengye nodded in understanding: "Then I understand, I get it."

He then greeted the two girls behind him, and Bai Qingxia and Lu Douqing responded at the same time, "Hello, Uncle."

Since there was nothing to do at home, Lu Yuanqiu didn't want his third sister to keep staring at the TV, so he simply took the two of them out with him.

Bai Qingxia took Lu Douqing's hand and asked the two of them, "I'm taking Third Sister to buy water, what would you like to drink?"

"Mineral water is fine, Xia."

"That must be a pulse."

The former is polite, the latter is flirtatious.

"Biu~" Lu Yuanqiu finished speaking and made a jump shot, the basketball in his hand drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air.

Watching the two girls leave, Liu Chengye seemed to have something to ask. He moved closer to Lu Yuanqiu and nudged her with his shoulder.

"Hey, is my daughter dating anyone?"

Which daughter of yours?

"Which one could it be? One has already been negotiated and can't be separated, so I'm naturally asking about the other one." Liu Chengye shouted.

Lu Yuanqiu carefully recalled Liu Wangchun's various behaviors and hesitated before replying, "As far as I know... I don't think so."

Liu Chengye winked at him: "Keep an eye on her for me. If any man tries to get close to her... you know what I mean."

The guy silently made a throat-slitting gesture.

Lu Yuanqiu leaned forward: "Am I considered a man who got close to her?"

Liu Chengye: "Of course you don't count, you're the school beauty's personal bodyguard."

Lu Yuanqiu: "This lousy novel has tens of thousands of chapters and it's still not finished."

Liu Chengye: "Isn't it only two thousand eight hundred chapters?"

Lu Yuanqiu: "Oh... I used an exaggerated rhetorical device. Wow, Uncle Liu, you watched it too?" Liu Chengye laughed: "Of course, I'm just waiting for Lin Yi to sleep with the school beauty... Don't you dare change the subject!"

He slapped Lu Yuanqiu on the head.

Lu Yuanqiu nodded: "Okay, okay, I'll keep an eye out for you. But I'll only be responsible for reconnaissance, not interception, so that Liu Wangchun won't misunderstand that I like her. Given her relationship with Bai Qingxia, it's not appropriate for me to do too much."

Liu Chengye agreed: "Okay, keep an eye on things for me."

Lu Yuanqiu threw another ball, then thought of Zhang Yifei's matter. He didn't plan to ask for the time being, and he figured Zhang Yifei would be too embarrassed to keep asking about the progress, even though he was in a hurry.

"By the way, I've heard a little about Bai Qingxia and Bai Xi's affair, I mean about Bai Qingxia's father," Liu Chengye suddenly said.

Lu Yuanqiu turned to look at him, waiting for Liu Chengye to continue.

Liu Chengye shook his head and sighed again: "What I want to say is, if you plan to deal with Zhang Zhisheng in the future, be nicer to Zhang Yifei. This child is innocent. Give him a way out."

Lu Yuanqiu was surprised: "Protecting your son-in-law? This doesn't fit your usual persona."

Liu Chengye stopped and turned to look at him: "My feelings for Xiaochun and Xiaoqing are different. You should know that. I just want to watch over Xiaochun and see her grow up and mature, so that she can live up to her mother's last wish."

“Xiaoqing… I have been neglecting her care too much, and I feel guilty. Now that she has someone she likes, I hope that person can take good care of her for me. As a father, I really can’t divide my heart in two to treat my daughter equally.”

Lu Yuanqiu didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only nod silently and reply, "Zhang Yifei is not bad, let's just stick to the facts."

"That's good... If you succeed, Zhang Yifei will probably lose everything. After all, his father and brother are both criminals, and he won't be accepted by the industry. I just hope that he can live a good life and love my daughter well in the future."

Liu Chengye's expression was somewhat serious, and Lu Yuanqiu looked at him, suddenly feeling strange.

Is Zhang Zhisheng a sinner? Does it refer to the incident of betraying Bai Songzhe?
As they were talking, Bai Qingxia and Lu Douqing ran back with water and drinks. Lu Douqing opened the bag, while Bai Qingxia handed the water and drinks to the two people on the court with a smile.

Liu Chengye looked at Bai Qingxia, paused for a moment, and then continued speaking to Lu Yuanqiu, his deep tone as if he had become a different person.

“I only recently learned about Xia’s situation. After the Xia’s bowl of noodles incident, I investigated it. I have many sources of information; even ten of your uncles combined can’t compare to me.”

"I also know some things, but I wasn't planning to tell you if you hadn't asked me to play basketball yesterday."

Sure enough... Lu Yuanqiu had sensed something was off about Liu Chengye's tone earlier. Had he found out something?
Bai Qingxia looked at the two of them with some confusion, not quite sure what they had just talked about.

Lu Yuanqiu: "Uncle Liu, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Liu Chengye frowned, looking conflicted. He unscrewed the cap, took several gulps of the cold mineral water, and then put it down.

“Xiao Qiu, you need to understand that on one side is my second daughter’s happiness, and on the other side is the truth that you and Xiao Xia want to know. Of course, I want to stand on the side of justice, but it’s hard for me to choose between these two. If I were to be a little selfish, I could simply not bring this up. After all, as a businessman and a father, the better Bai Xi develops, the happier I am to see it.”

Lu Yuanqiu took Bai Qingxia's hand, and together they looked at him: "Uncle Liu..."

"Holy crap, I knew I shouldn't have agreed to come out. I didn't even get to shoot a few balls before my big mouth couldn't hold back..."

Liu Chengye scratched his head helplessly, looking hesitant.

He quickly turned his head and said, "Bai Ruoan's car accident was not an accident, and you don't have much time left. That's all I can say."

After he finished speaking, he took the basketball and attempted a layup towards the basket.

Lu Yuanqiu lowered the bottle of Gatorade. He didn't turn his head, but he could feel Bai Qingxia's gaze on him, and his hand was being held tightly by the girl.
