Chapter 365: We Can Be Relatives

Lu Zhenping walked out of the hospital with his heart beating fast with anger. Looking at Shen Meng's calm appearance, he felt extremely guilty. If he had not agreed to come to Beijing, he would not have let Shen Meng suffer these grievances.

"Xiao Meng, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought you to the capital. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer in vain today."

"It's okay. I'm not wronged. I fought back, right? She can say whatever she wants. Anyway, I won't be the one who is looked down upon in the future. Let's live our own lives."

Lu Zhenping reached out and touched Shen Meng's hair, then took her hand and walked towards the roadside. Seeing a tricycle not far away, he waved his hand.

"Zhenping, Zhenping, wait a minute, sister-in-law, don't leave in a hurry. I have a car. I can take you wherever you want to go!"

Bai Yan ran out in a hurry and almost failed to catch up with them.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and a tricycle came over.

"Will you leave, comrade?"

"Let's go, Xiao Meng, get in the car first."

Shen Meng nodded at him. After getting in the car, she saw that the two of them wanted to chat, so she took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from her bag.

"Master, please wait a moment. We are here to see the patient and have something to say. We will be leaving soon."

"Hey, hey, you're welcome. It's okay. I won't be in any trouble for a while."

Bai Yan looked at Lu Zhenping apologetically. He actually felt a little awkward in his heart. He had done nothing wrong, so why did he seem so ashamed?

"Well, where are you going? I'll drive you there. You came all the way to Beijing, and it's only the first day, and something like this happened. I feel bad about it. If you have any requests or problems during your stay in Beijing, just come and talk to me."

Bai Shan, Commander Bai and a few others also came out soon. Seeing them talking at the door, they hurried over.

"Zhenping, Bai Yan is right. The attitude of the Yuan family is not the attitude of our Bai family. Your aunt wanted to come and see you this morning, but she is not feeling well. You met her when you were in the army and had dinner together. You know what kind of person she is. How about this, come to our house for dinner tonight. You have been tired from going out so early in the morning, so you can go back and have a rest."

Commander Bai waved at him, not wanting to force him.

Bai Shan was afraid that he would disagree and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, come home for dinner tonight. Grandpa and grandma didn't get to see Zhenping, so they left some things for him. For the sake of the deceased, come home and take a look. At least take a look at the things that grandpa and grandma left for you, okay? Well, even if you don't want them, you can leave them to Mingkai and think of them as something left by grandpa for the child, okay?"

Lu Zhenping turned his head and glanced at Shen Meng, who nodded slightly. She had heard that Commander Bai had always been very kind to him, both when he was in the army and when he was working as a police officer in the provincial capital. The Mingyang children were gradually growing up, and even if they didn't want to recognize them back, they could still treat them as relatives.

The prerequisite for all this is that they respond to Lu Zhenping with a mentality of guilt, love and compensation.

Of course, this was all calculated on her part. After all, Lu Zhenping was now very soft-hearted. In the past, these family members could do nothing to him, but that was no longer possible. He was a father and had to plan for his child's future.

"Okay, Xiao Meng and I have something else to do, so we'll leave first. We'll go there later."

"Okay, okay, let Bai Yan pick you up at 4 o'clock. Bai Yan will pick you up at the guesthouse."

After Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng left the hospital, they asked the tricycle driver to take them around the streets and alleys of the old city of Shangjing. The driver heard what Shen Meng meant by asking about the price of houses in Shangjing, and he had an idea in mind. In addition to the old city, he also took them around the imperial city twice, but Shen Meng didn't like some old alleys.

What she wanted to buy was a whole big yard. She was not interested in small houses.

"Hey, to be honest, all the educated youth who returned to the city in the past two years have no jobs. There are a lot of unemployed young people wandering around in the city. There are people fighting in Houhai every day. Housing is very tight. But I heard that there seems to be a policy from above to build commercial housing to solve the employment and housing problems of the masses. The kind of courtyard house you want to buy will not be available for two years."

This is not what Shen Meng wants. She wants to buy two houses this year or next year and register them under Lu Mingkai's name. Although this guy is not very realistic now, she can see that he has special organizational and leadership skills. It would be best for him to develop in Beijing in the future.

As for Mingyang's children, she has other arrangements. The children have grown up and have their own ideas. As a parent, she just wants to leave them a way out as much as possible and provide them with more protection.

At noon, I treated the tricycle driver to a meal and then returned to the guesthouse. I rested until 3:30 and then got up and washed up.

When they left the guesthouse, Bai Yan was already waiting for them.

"I'm already busy at home. I know my sister-in-law likes spicy food, so I prepared some. It's a good time for them to taste it later. My mother is cooking for me. I haven't seen her cook for several years. She's benefiting from you."

"Is Madam Bai feeling better now?"

Bai Yan paused for a moment when he heard Shen Meng's call, then smiled and said, "Much better. When I heard that you were going to dinner tonight, I was so happy that I am almost fully recovered."

"That's good."

Shen Meng put her bag on a chair beside her, very casually, and Bai Yan didn't take it seriously.

When they arrived at the Bai family, Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng got out of the car and saw that all the people in the Bai family were waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Although it was a family compound, the environment was quiet and private.

"Zhenping is here. This is Xiaomeng, right? I wanted to go see you guys before, but my health isn't good enough. Fortunately, you guys came to Shangjing, otherwise I don't know when I can see you guys again."

"Don't say that, Aunt. It should be me and Zhenping who came to see you."

Lu Zhenping turned his head and glanced at her, then looked at Miao Feng and said, "Aunt."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the Bai family smiled happily. Commander Bai's eyes became moist for a moment, but he was afraid that the younger generation would laugh at him, so he blinked, reached out and pinched the corners of his eyes to wipe away his tears.

"Come on, come on, let's go inside and talk."

"Yes, yes, look at me. I was so happy that I forgot to greet people. Xiaomeng, Zhenping, come on, follow your aunt into the house."

In the living room, the nanny served hot tea. Everyone sat in the living room, looking at Shen Meng and Lu Zhenping like babies, very seriously, afraid that they would say or do something wrong and make them unhappy.

"We brought this from our hometown. It's not worth much, just consider it as a token of our appreciation. You can put some in your soup to nourish your body."

Shen Meng took out two old mountain ginsengs and a ganoderma lucidum from her bag. In addition to these two things, there were also several gift boxes, some of the most advanced watches of this era, pearl necklaces, and perfume and skin care products, one for each person.

Commander Bai's pipe is a manual one, and he couldn't let it go once he picked it up.
