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

Chapter 797 We are family
Lu Yuanqiu said, "They've already divorced. The mistress has successfully taken over, and his eldest son from his first wife is currently in jail."

Bai Songzhe was somewhat surprised to hear this, but after a long pause, he still said, "Serves him right."

Lu Yuanqiu: "He deserves it."

“His eldest son has committed numerous evils. In fact, it was I who, together with my uncles, sent him to jail.” Lu Yuanqiu suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth and whispered to Bai Songzhe.

Bai Songzhe looked up at him, and Bai Qingxia noticed that her father had a smile on his face for the first time today.

It had been a long, long time since she had seen him smile so normally. Bai Qingxia felt both happy and unfamiliar with him.

"Well done." Bai Songzhe nodded, then turned to Lu Yuanqiu and said, "By the way, Xiaoqiu, thank you for protecting me. Uncle remembers very clearly what happened at the junior high school gate."

Lu Yuanqiu replied with a smile, "Of course."

"That kick was really cool."

"You look very handsome sitting there waiting for your daughter to get out of school, rain or shine."

The conversation between the two men returned to the atmosphere that Bai Qingxia had been hoping for.

Lu Yuanqiu pulled the chair closer to the hospital bed and then told Bai Songzhe that Bai Ruoan's car accident had been reopened for investigation. Just as he finished speaking, there was a commotion at the door of the ward. The three of them looked over and saw Aunt Zhang and Lu Douqing walk in.

Aunt Zhang first glanced at Bai Songzhe, then held up a thermal lunchbox and said to Bai Qingxia, "I made chicken soup for... Lao Bai, let him drink it while it's hot."

Lu Douqing came out from behind Aunt Zhang, circled around halfway, raised two peace signs, and chimed in, "It's delicious."

It's obvious they've been secretly drinking.

Bai Qingxia took the chicken soup from Aunt Zhang's hands and found her father sitting there smiling at Zhang Ru. Zhang Ru was a little flustered, but still walked over to the bedside. Seeing this, Lu Yuanqiu immediately gave her a chair.

"It's alright, Xiao Qiu, please sit down."

"Please sit down, please sit down."

Zhang Ru was forcibly pressed into a chair by Lu Yuanqiu, still too embarrassed to look Bai Songzhe in the eye.

Bai Qingxia opened her lunchbox and turned to look at the scene, a faint smile appearing on her face.

Over time, she had come to regard Aunt Zhang as family. When she was away, Aunt Zhang took excellent care of her father.

Taking a bath, changing clothes, going to the toilet, cooking, chatting, taking walks to relieve boredom, etc., day after day, season after season, this is not something an ordinary person can do. Perhaps, as Lu Yuanqiu said, Aunt Zhang has developed some different feelings for Dad.

But Bai Qingxia had no objections; in fact, she hoped that Aunt Zhang could become her real family in the future.

"Old Bai, you...you..." Zhang Ru nervously clenched her hands, forcing a smile, but her expression and eyes were carefully observing the other person. She asked, "You're all better now...do you still remember me?"

She knew, of course, that Bai Songzhe had recovered; what she cared about more was the second half of his statement.

Bai Songzhe looked at her and smiled for the second time today: "I remember, of course I remember, how could I forget? Zhang Ru, you've really worked hard these past few years."

Bai Songzhe in his normal state attracted Zhang Ru's attention for a moment with the changes in his tone, words and smile, and she forgot to reply.

It took her a few seconds to realize what she meant. Her face flushed slightly, and she looked away, shaking her head and laughing, "What do you mean by 'hard work'? You're being too formal with me." Her hands were still clenched tightly on her lap.

Lu Yuanqiu could tell that Aunt Zhang was a little nervous.

He could actually guess what Aunt Zhang was nervous about.

Aunt Zhang and Bai Qingxia from before are actually the same kind of people, a statement Bai Qingxia had made long ago.

Bai Songzhe nodded repeatedly, his face showing genuine apology: "Yes, I shouldn't have said that, it sounds too formal. We've been family for a long time, whether I'm better or not, we'll always be family."

Zhang Ru's clenched fingers stopped moving, her head was down, and tears fell uncontrollably.

She felt that she and her daughter only became part of the family by helping to take care of the sick Baek Song-cheol at the beginning, and now that Baek Song-cheol has recovered, she has naturally lost her role.

But if she left this home with her daughter, would she really have to go back to the life she had before, where she was helpless and had to rely on the two of them for survival? During the time that Bai Songzhe was about to recover, she was always hesitant about her place in this family.

As for the feelings hidden in her heart, it's somewhat laughable. She can't even raise her own daughter after leaving this family, so what right does she have to think about that unattainable feeling?
Bai Songzhe clearly guessed what she was thinking, which is why he said, "We'll always be family." This instantly brought tears to Zhang Ru's eyes. The normal Bai Ge she longed for must be a gentle and considerate man. Otherwise, how could he have had such an enviable and happy marriage with such a beautiful and outstanding woman? Sure enough, Bai Ge was just like she imagined—a good person indeed…

Seeing Aunt Zhang bowing her head and shedding tears, Bai Qingxia quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to her. She understood what Aunt Zhang was thinking, but she didn't know how to speak. She didn't know how to comfort a sensitive and insecure person. If she had known, she wouldn't have had such a difficult time before.

Lu Yuanqiu: "By the way, Uncle Bai, Ranran has already started attending a special school. Do you remember that? I heard she has already learned quite a few words at school."

“I remember, I remember, I remember all of this. I must cure Ranran’s eyes. Now that I’m cured, I will make sure Ranran lives a normal life.”

Seeing Zhang Ru cry, Bai Songzhe, who was at a loss, immediately picked up where Lu Yuanqiu left off. He wasn't just making a verbal promise to comfort her; he would definitely keep his word.

Zhang Ru wiped away her tears, understanding Bai Songzhe's good intentions. She shook her head repeatedly, "It's okay, Brother Bai. My daughter and I are already very grateful and lucky to have the life we ​​have now. You don't need to do so much for us."

"Why are you saying these things? Zhang Ru, we are family. Don't say such things again." Bai Songzhe quickly moved forward, took Zhang Ru's hands, and solemnly instructed her.

Zhang Ru was still crying, but a happy smile had appeared on her face.

Actually, they should have hugged each other at this moment... Lu Yuanqiu thought to himself, but it was clear that Bai Songzhe and Zhang Ru each had their own reservations.

Bai Songzhe believes in the differences between men and women, while Zhang Ru still feels inferior.

But they are all equally kind.

Listening to conversations between people who have kindness in their hearts is a very healing process. Lu Yuanqiu saw Bai Qingxia smiling, but there were also tears in the corners of Bai Qingxia's eyes.

"Hurry up and drink the chicken soup, I've been simmering it for ages," Zhang Ru reminded her, gently pulling her hand away from Bai Songzhe's.

"it is good."

"It's delicious," Bai Songzhe commented immediately after taking a sip.

Zhang Ru smiled shyly upon hearing this, like a little girl.

Bai Songzhe glanced at the woman who was about ten years younger than him and had a guess in his mind, but he dared not confirm it.
