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

Chapter 843 Bad News and Good News
"Okay, I know."

Bai Qingxia lowered her head and responded to the bodyguard in a low voice.

Bai Songzhe raised his hand and touched his daughter's head: "It's okay, you don't need to worry too much. It's just a professional habit of Xiao Li."

"Mmm." Bai Qingxia smiled and looked up at her father.

After she finished laughing, she looked at Lu Yuanqiu and found that Lu Yuanqiu's expression as he bit into the bun looked like a depressed husky.

Lu Yuanqiu had just typed in the "Lu's Men" group chat to inquire about the Second Master's bodyguard when his phone vibrated again; the Second Master had replied.

Second Master: Show some respect to your Brother Li. He saved your grandfather's life back in the early 2000s, fighting against more than a dozen thugs all by himself, and even injured one of his eyes in the process.

"Second Master": He had already changed careers and got married, but his daughter was born with a congenital disease, and he had a bottomless pit of money, so he went back to his old profession a few years ago.

Lu Yuanqiu was taken aback, blinked twice quickly, and looked up at the "Little Li Darts" opposite him.

Because Uncle Bai called out to bodyguard Xiao Li, and he "flew" over Lu Yuanqiu's seat again, Lu Yuanqiu gave him the nickname "Xiao Li Dart".

I've never seen Li Feibiao take off his sunglasses. Are the sunglasses there to cover his eye injuries?

But this experience... is it real or fake? It sounds more like a novel protagonist than him. Could he be a retired elite soldier?

Lu Yuanqiu replied "I understand," put down his phone, and admitted that he had indeed changed his opinion of "Little Li Flying Darts."

"We should get going." Little Li Biao glanced at his watch.

Because the roads to the countryside were difficult to travel and cars couldn't easily drive in, Aunt Zhang actually led everyone in a very old-fashioned mode of transportation. Lu Yuanqiu never expected that this would still exist in 2013.

This mode of transportation is a rickshaw, which Bai Qingxia would definitely like because it looks safe. However, the rickshaws here are not pulled by human power, but pedaled.

"This is my first time riding in one of these things. I've only ever seen them at tourist attractions before," Lu Yuanqiu said.

Zhang Ru and Bai Songzhe both laughed. Seeing that each car could seat two people, the personnel allocation became Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia in one car, Bai Songzhe and Zhang Ru in another car, and Xiao Li Feibiao in a car by himself.

Lu Yuanqiu carried Bai Qingxia into the car. Only after he finished carrying her did he see the driver point to a small wooden ladder on the ground next to him. The driver didn't open his mouth, but the meaning he wanted to express was deafening.

"...What's wrong? I just want to carry my girlfriend up there, hmph," Lu Yuanqiu gave him a smug look.

"Let's go! Next stop!"

He took Bai Qingxia's hand and pointed forward. The car started, and their car drove off first, Bai Qingxia's melodious laughter gradually fading into the distance.

The seat was only wide enough for two people. After the car started, Zhang Ru was very happy and subconsciously took Bai Songzhe's arm. In fact, she had done this countless times before, but this was the first time after Bai Songzhe had sobered up.

Bai Songzhe turned his head and smiled, somewhat reluctant to pull his arm away. He could feel that Zhang Ru was happy to be home, but... he really couldn't bring himself to do anything with this woman who was 19 years younger than him. He was already an old man in his fifties. He could just treat it as if he had adopted an older daughter. Xia Xia would also take his arm.

As the last car pulled away, Xiao Li Feibiao's expression behind his sunglasses remained cool. Then, he picked up his phone, raised his hand at a 45-degree angle, and took a selfie. The moment he pressed the shutter button, his persona suddenly collapsed as he grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

Dad: Dad rode in a rickshaw today! [Photo]

He put his phone away and remained indifferent.

Lu Yuanqiu sniffed and said, "I can already smell the sea breeze, the salty smell."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Qingxia rested her head on his shoulder. Lu Yuanqiu turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I need a nap, I'm so sleepy," she muttered softly, her hair, which was floating in mid-air, playfully brushing against Lu Yuanqiu's chin.

Lu Yuanqiu opened his arms and hugged her: "Didn't you sleep last night?" "What do you think?"

This rebuttal made Lu Yuanqiu feel guilty and unsure how to respond.

Lu Yuanqiu whispered, "Emmm, do you know what desensitization is? For you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Qingxia reached out and pinched his waist hard, causing Lu Yuanqiu to cry out in pain, "Ouch, ouch, ouch—!"

The driver glanced at him sideways, seemingly recognizing his talent, and immediately joined in the singing loudly.

"I love you endlessly, every day, every month, every year, forever—"

Ahead, a red sun gradually rises.

Below, three rickshaws drove by in succession.

……

"Hello? Aunt Su, I've come to Qingcheng Mountain today. Can you hear the bell?"

Su Xiaoya sat in her office, put her phone on speakerphone, and sure enough, she heard a clear, distant chime coming from the other end of the line. She smiled and responded:

"I heard you, I heard you! Did you go hiking? Are you physically capable of handling it?"

Dai Yidan: "I didn't climb up. My dad and I took the cable car up. It wasn't tiring at all."

Su Xiaoya: "It must be cold up in the mountains, so make sure you wear more clothes so you don't catch a cold."

Dai Yidan looked at the Lao Jun Pavilion directly in front of her. On the steps below the Lao Jun Pavilion, Zhang Zhisheng, wearing an orange jacket, was standing there holding a thick incense stick. He closed his eyes, seemingly making a wish in his heart.

Dai Yidan stared at her father's back for a while, then said to Su Xiaoya, "Aunt Su, you actually..."

Su Xiaoya listened with a smile: "Hmm? Actually, what?"

The wind at the mountaintop was indeed quite strong. Dai Yidan was wearing a hat, and strands of her hair were still fluttering below the brim. Seeing her father put the incense sticks in the censer, Dai Yidan smiled again: "...It's okay. Actually, traveling is a bit tiring. I can't wait to go back and talk to you."

Su Xiaoya laughed: "Yeah, if you're tired, take a rest. Don't push yourself."

Although spending time with Dai Yidan was in accordance with Zhang Zhisheng's request, Su Xiaoya did not feel uncomfortable during this time. On the contrary, she felt a strong sense of being needed by Dai Yidan. Thinking that she was making sure that a person who was about to die would not have any regrets, Su Xiaoya even felt that she was willing to do this.

After hanging up the phone, Dai Yidan and Zhang Zhisheng found a place to sit down and rest.

“Yibin will be released from prison to visit his family in about two months. When that time comes, I’d like to organize a gathering so our whole family can have a meal together, and also… to reveal your identity,” Zhang Zhisheng said to his daughter.

Dai Yidan forced a smile: "We can keep them in suspense for now, saying there's bad news and good news. The bad news is that you have an older sister, and the good news is that this older sister is dying and won't be able to inherit any of your family property."

Zhang Zhisheng looked up at her, and at that moment even his eyes seemed to have aged.

"Dandan, it's Dad's fault. Dad regrets not letting you into this family sooner. If I could, Dad would give my life to save yours."

"I do not want."

Dai Yidan turned her head away and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She knew that Zhang Zhisheng was still hiding something from her.
