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

Chapter 798 Zheng Ye and Li Yuntan
"Delicious, delicious, delicious..."

"Is it that delicious? I'll make it again when I get home tonight." Zhang Ru smiled broadly.

Bai Songzhe: "No need, no need. I reckon I won't be staying here for long before I can go home."

Zhang Ru: "I'll continue making it for you when we get home."

Bai Songzhe paused upon hearing this, and Lu Yuanqiu couldn't help but laugh at his expression. Realizing something was wrong, he quickly pretended to cough to cover it up.

"Oh right, it turns out Xiaxia's classmate witnessed the car accident. It would have been better if we had contacted him sooner." Bai Songzhe changed the subject.

Lu Yuanqiu crossed his arms, about to speak, when Zhang Ru immediately stood up and offered him her chair, as if they were about to discuss serious business.

Lu Yuanqiu sat in the chair: "But it's been more than a month and we still haven't heard any news. I guess there's been no progress."

Bai Songzhe sighed: "Ten years have passed, the case must be difficult."

Lu Yuanqiu also sighed.

At this moment, he looked at Lu Douqing, who was secretly unpacking the fruit basket, and called out, "Third Sister."

Lu Douqing immediately pulled her hand away and put it behind her back. As if she had already given herself away, she pointed to the fruit basket and confessed, "I want to eat peaches."

"I didn't say you couldn't eat it. Did you go to school to register?"

Lu Douqing shook her head.

Lu Yuanqiu was dumbfounded: "What are you doing? Aren't you going to report?"

Lu Douqing secretly pointed at Bai Songzhe.

Lu Yuanqiu understood what Bai Songzhe meant; he had disrupted her time zone during this period.

“Let’s go to register together tomorrow. In a few days, if you have time, come with me to Chenxia Campus to find Luo Qiang,” Lu Yuanqiu said to his third sister.

Bai Qingxia: "Why are you looking for him?"

Lu Yuanqiu: "I asked my third sister to sketch the figure again to see what the person in the drawing would look like."

Bai Songzhe turned around and glanced at Lu Douqing. He had treated her so affectionately before, like Xia Xia, but now she looked at him like a complete stranger. However, Bai Songzhe had a vague memory of this girl calling him "Dad."

"Your third uncle's daughter?"

"Correct."

"Did not see it."

"It would be strange if you could tell," Lu Yuanqiu thought to himself.

Bai Qingxia took the leftover chicken soup from her father and put it away, saying to him, "You've been mistaking Third Sister for me the past few days."

Bai Songzhe: "...Maybe this girl's silly appearance is a bit like yours when you were a child."

Lu Douqing frowned: "I'm not stupid."

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry," Bai Songzhe apologized with a smile.

"Can I be discharged today?" he asked again.

Lu Yuanqiu nodded: "Yes, it's possible. There's something, Uncle Bai. We need to see Zhang Zhisheng in a few days. We signed an agreement that as long as you recover, he will return Bai Xi to you."

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Bai Songzhe's face: "Bai Xi hasn't gone bankrupt yet?"

"Well... not yet." Lu Yuanqiu scratched his face. "But our Lu family's instant noodles have already surpassed White Rhino instant noodles in sales."

Bai Songzhe lowered his head: "I still want to see Lao Zheng as soon as possible. After so many years, his investigation should have made some progress by now."

At this point, Lu Yuanqiu suddenly remembered something. He moved the chair he was sitting on closer to the hospital bed and asked Bai Songzhe, "By the way, Uncle Bai, what exactly happened with Zheng Yifeng's mother's death?"

"How did you know?" Bai Songzhe asked in surprise.

Bai Qingxia lay by the bedside, looking up at her father with a smile in her eyes.

"We saw the letter you wrote to your mother, your wedding anniversary letter. So you two have a small base at White Rhino Company." "Ah..." Embarrassing memories flooded his mind, and Bai Songzhe let out an awkward sigh.

Zhang Ru forced a faint smile upon hearing this.

However, Bai Songzhe was thicker-skinned than Lu Yuanqiu had imagined. He got down to business and said, "That year, Xiaxia was only three years old. Zheng Ye and Li Yuntan had already divorced. Li Yuntan went to the United States. But one day, Li Yuntan's body was suddenly sent back to China. Only then did Zheng Ye learn that she had died in the United States."

“In the US, they said it was a home invasion robbery by locals, but the perpetrators were not caught, and the police handled it very hastily. Zheng Ye disregarded Li Yuntan’s parents’ objections and forced someone to perform an autopsy on her. I don’t know the autopsy results, but because of this autopsy, Zheng Ye suddenly said he was going to the US to investigate the truth. I was worried and planned to go with him, but before we even left the country, I also got into trouble.”

"An autopsy?!" Lu Yuanqiu exclaimed in surprise.

"No wonder I heard that Zheng Ye had a falling out with Li Yuntan's parents over something, so that's why."

Bai Songzhe nodded: "That's why."

Lu Yuanqiu: "Uncle Bai, do you know... that Zhang Zhisheng and Li Yuntan are each other's first love and that they have a daughter?"

Bai Qingxia also looked at her father.

Bai Songzhe's expression changed slightly: "I know. Zheng Ye later divorced Li Yuntan because he found out that Li Yuntan had a daughter with Zhang Zhisheng without his knowledge."

I feel like things are getting clearer and clearer.

Lu Yuanqiu: "Does Zhang Zhisheng's wife know about this?"

"He probably doesn't know. His wife comes from a powerful family and was spoiled since childhood. She's very spoiled and willful. If she knew, what would happen? He would probably have divorced her long ago."

Lu Yuanqiu: "Zheng Yifeng is going to the United States to find his father in a few days."

Bai Songzhe: "You suspect that Zheng Ye went to the United States again? After he came back from the United States that time, he told me that he had not found any results. If you think about it that way, he may have really gone to the United States again, but why has he not come back for so long?"

Lu Yuanqiu naturally had no idea.

"Old White!"

A shout suddenly came from the door of the ward.

Lu Yuanqiu recognized who it was.

Everyone looked over there, and two people hurriedly walked in through the ward door, also carrying fruit baskets. It was Lu Tian and Su Xiaoya.

"When Lu Yuanqiu told us you had recovered, Xiaoya and I rushed over from Lucheng immediately." Lu Tian enthusiastically placed the fruit basket on the table and walked to the bedside with Su Xiaoya.

Su Xiaoya exclaimed in surprise, "Your eyes do look different now."

Bai Qingxia silently walked around the foot of the bed. Lu Douqing, who was eating a peach, looked up and saw Bai Qingxia standing next to Lu Yuanqiu. The two exchanged flirtatious glances.

"I'm so happy, so happy!" Lu Tian grabbed Bai Songzhe's hand and shook it vigorously up and down, leaving Bai Songzhe completely dazed.

"What are you doing?! He just recovered." Su Xiaoya raised her hand to hit him.

Bai Songzhe sized up the two of them, hesitated, and then asked, "You... are Xiao Qiu's parents, right?"

Lu Tian frowned: "What are you saying? Don't you recognize us? We're good buddies..." He pointed to Bai Songzhe's chest, then to himself, making a gesture of bending his thumbs together.

Su Xiaoya: "..."

Bai Songzhe nodded: "You are Lu Laosi. I remember that the girl you went on your first blind date with was someone your father asked me to introduce."

Lu Tian's expression changed instantly, and Su Xiaoya yanked his ear up: "Weren't we together since high school? You went on a blind date behind my back?! Your first blind date?!"

Bai Songzhe on the bed was stunned: "You two were already together back then? Then why did you ask your dad to find you a partner?"

Lu Yuanqiu stared wide-eyed, his head drooping forward, completely dumbfounded.

Lu Tian was cornered in the ward: "Wife, wife! Shouldn't the question now be why Lao Bai doesn't remember us at all?! Can we talk about this later?"

Lu Yuanqiu said in a hoarse tone, "Uncle Bai has just recovered, so he will indeed forget some specific people and things, but now I think you should explain this to my mother more clearly, Dad."

Damn, I thought it was a meeting between in-laws, but it turned out to be a scumbag's self-disclosure. Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia were holding hands. I was so looking forward to it.
