Chapter 360: Too Anxious

At Shangjing Railway Station, a jeep was waiting at the exit. When it saw Lu Zhenping, it waved to him. When the two men came up, it nodded to Shen Meng.

"Hello, I'm Bai Yan, Zhenping's cousin."

"Hello, Shen Meng."

Bai Yan smiled, opened the car door, and waited for two people to get in the car before he turned to the passenger seat. The driver asked a question before starting the car.

"I know you don't want to live at home, so I'll arrange for you to stay in a guesthouse near the hospital. Your aunt is in the hospital now. Wait until you have a night's rest before you go see her."

"Ok!"

Bai Yan looked at Lu Zhenping's expressionless face and couldn't help but let out a "tsk".

"It's been so many years. After all, she's your mother. You shouldn't be so heartless. Can you be nicer when you meet people? Even if it's just for my father's sake."

"Why are you talking so much? Turn away."

Bai Yan rolled his eyes, but still turned his head away. Now the whole family was waiting for Lu Zhenping to go to the hospital to see Bai Shuyu. If he dared to show any displeasure to Lu Zhenping and made him angry and turn away, the whole family would beat him to death.

"Are you tired? Take a good rest for a while. Let's go eat something delicious later. I heard that the roast duck and hot pot in Shangjing are very good. Let's go and try them. Of course, no matter how delicious the food is, it can't be as good as your cooking."

Shen Meng glanced at him, feeling embarrassed to be praised like that in front of outsiders.

"From what you said, my sister-in-law is good at cooking. Haha, my aunt is in the hospital. Can I trouble my sister-in-law?"

"I don't think Shangjing is going to be very good, Zhenping, let's go back tomorrow. The kids are about to take exams, so they're very busy."

Bai Yan: “.”

She looks so gentle, but I didn't expect she has such a bad temper!!!

"That's what my wife said."

"No, no, no, I said the wrong thing, haha, I just feel that after all, aunt is your sister-in-law's mother-in-law. I heard that she was very filial to that fake mother-in-law when she was in her hometown. Doesn't this want you to get closer to aunt?"

Shen Meng glanced at him and fell asleep with her head on Lu Zhenping's shoulder. Lu Zhenping touched her hair and closed his eyes.

Bai Yan's face looked a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to say anything in the end.

When they arrived at the guesthouse, Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng went through the formalities and went straight back to their room to rest. Bai Yan smiled but didn't make it any better.

"Really? I just said something wrong, but you are so humble. Don't you think of family affection at all?"

Driver: "Third Master, what you said is true. Director Lu has relied on himself all these years. You have read the information here. Director Lu and Comrade Shen have accumulated their current reputation and prestige through their own ability. My family and my aunt's family have not been able to help. He has just come to Beijing, and you are asking someone to cook for him. It's too hasty."

Bai Yan didn't say anything after hearing this. He knew that he was too anxious, but his aunt was in poor health because she missed Lu Zhenping too much. If he had married Nian Nian when he was in the army, his aunt wouldn't have been separated from him for so many years.

"walk home."

Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping washed up in the room and lay down to rest. Riding the train was really tiring. Fortunately, the seats they bought were okay, otherwise she didn't know how she would have gotten through the journey.

In the evening, Lu Zhenping woke up and saw Shen Meng was still sleeping. He got up and walked to the balcony to smoke. He was originally scheduled to stay in Beijing for three days. After seeing Bai Yan's attitude today, he probably knew that he would not be able to leave in three days. "You're awake. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"Did I disturb you?"

"No, I'm awake too. Let's go out and eat something. I'm a little hungry."

Lu Zhenping nodded and helped Shen Meng get clothes and shoes. The two of them packed up and walked out of the guesthouse.

Shangjing was also very lively at night. Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng walked on the road for a while and saw a pot sticker shop on the corner. It was very lively inside. Lu Zhenping ordered two servings of chicken pot stickers and two servings of hot soup.

"Is it enough? If not, order something else."

"Okay, I heard there's a braised pork restaurant near our guesthouse, let's go try it tomorrow morning!"

"Hmm? I heard that the bean juice in Shangjing is delicious. I wanted to take you to try it. We had previously agreed to stay for three days, but now I think we won't be able to go for three days. Let's taste the food in Shangjing. You've worked so hard these years, so I'll take this opportunity to take you to relax."

Shen Meng: “.”

Relaxation is fine, but forget about soybean juice, I have drunk it, thank you very much!!!

The next morning, Bai Yan drove to the guesthouse himself. About five minutes later, he saw Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng walking out of the guesthouse.

"Morning, have you had breakfast? Shall I take you guys to get something to eat?"

"I've eaten. Let's go buy something first. It's not good to go to the hospital to see a patient empty-handed."

"Row."

Although only one word was said, Bai Yan felt very happy. When he saw the two of them looking dull yesterday, he thought they would just go over and take a look, but he didn't expect them to buy things.

But come to think of it, one is the director of a department in the provincial capital, and the other is the secretary-general who was once in charge of the economy of a county, so their courtesy is still very appropriate.

Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping were just visiting an elder at the time and bought some common health-replenishing gifts. They were nothing too expensive, but Bai Yan was very happy to see them.

"You bought so much? Let me get it. Aunt's ward is in the single room on the third floor. Nian Nian is taking care of her. Oh, Nian Nian is Aunt's adopted daughter. My sister and I have never seen her. But our family members, as well as my uncle and cousin, will be there soon."

"With so many people here, is it appropriate for Zhenping and I to go over there?"

"No, no, we are all family, there is nothing wrong with that. Well, let's get in the car first. Auntie is in much better spirits when she heard you guys are here."

Shen Meng smiled at him, and Lu Zhenping pursed his lips and said nothing. After all, she was his biological mother, and he hadn't seen her for many years. It was impossible for him to have no emotions in his heart. It was just that some of his expressions could not be seen by outsiders, and only Shen Meng noticed it, and she held his hand tightly.

The two looked at each other and got into the car without saying a word.

Bai Yan drove very fast, as if he was afraid that they would change their minds. In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the hospital. After parking the car, he walked in front without taking anything.

Shen Meng was holding fruit in one hand and high-calcium milk powder in the other, but he pretended not to see it.

Lu Zhenping was also carrying a lot of things in his hands. He felt a little depressed when he saw Bai Yan's back. They had already reached the hospital entrance, so how could they still run? They were running like rabbits. They didn't have the calmness they had in the army at all.
