Aunt Xue is very busy [Love is deep and rainy]
Chapter 103 Aunt Xue is very busy
That night, Mr. Lu did not live in Lu's house.
There were so many things that happened that day, whether it was the matter of Adjutant Li or what Wang Xueqin said today, he was in a state of confusion.
Sometimes he even felt that even when he was facing the enemy's hail of bullets on the battlefield back then, it was not as troublesome as it is now.
So he just took one last look at the few people who were gathering together to give medicine to Lu Erhao, then turned around and left the gate of Lu's house again.
At this moment, he has no feeling that anyone in this family still needs him.
The one who left with him was Lu Yiping who could no longer find a reason to stay here.
Asked the driver to drive him to a hotel in the French Concession for an overnight stay. On the way to the hotel, Mr. Lu looked at the neon lights flashing outside the window and was silent for a long time before asking Lu Yiping, "Yiping, do you still remember Xueqin saying those words?"
Lu Yiping was startled, she didn't expect her father to speak out suddenly.
But then, she hesitated and said: "Father, Aunt Xue said so many things today... I don't know what you said, but which one is it?"
As soon as Mr. Lu heard her words, he couldn't help laughing, but then, the smile on his face quickly faded, replaced by a deep tiredness and an uncertainty that rarely appeared on his face .
He was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "When you handed me the whip, you were also afraid in your heart."
Lu Yiping took a breath.
Mr. Lu was sitting next to her, and naturally noticed Lu Yiping's subconscious action immediately. The thin hope that originally existed in the eyes quickly dimmed in the darkness, but it's a pity that the light in the car is not good Lu Yiping naturally didn't see it.
But soon, Lu Yiping smiled wryly, and unexpectedly said, "Father, in fact, I have never thought that it is suitable to use that horsewhip when facing family members."
Mr. Lu's heart sank even more.
As early as when Mr. Lu turned around and left the gate of Lu's house, Lu Yiping realized that Aunt Xue's words today probably really hurt her father's proud heart that had been in her life for a lifetime.
What a proud man Lu Zhenhua is, as his daughter, Lu Yiping, naturally knows it.
So even though she agreed with Aunt Xue's last words today, Lu Yiping forced a smile on her face and comforted Mr. Lu, "But Dad, in the hearts of us children, you will always be the all-powerful hero back then. Although We have never said it before, but in fact, whether it is me, Erhao, Ruping, Mengping or even Xiao Erjie, we all adore Dad very much. We love you very much, so Dad, you must not mind what Aunt Xue said .”
Thinking of Wang Xueqin who said those words to her father today, although her heart was very hostile, Lu Yiping still suppressed her distaste for Wang Xueqin, and said in a down-to-earth manner: "There is also Aunt Xue... Dad, Aunt Xue is by your side after all. Your woman for decades, if you think about it today, she didn't say those words on purpose, and she should be so reckless because she was angry. Dad, please calm down. "
When Mr. Lu heard the words, he naturally felt a little bit in his heart.
But how much this girl Yiping hates Wang Xueqin, Mr. Lu naturally knows, so he finally couldn't help laughing, looked at Lu Yiping and said: "Why, I didn't expect that you would have a day to speak for Xueqin? Don't you Have you always been against her?"
Mr. Lu asked bluntly. Lu Yiping was a little embarrassed at once, but she still said truthfully: "Although I don't like Aunt Xue, these are facts after all. It is because my mother, like Aunt Xue, is your woman, both of you. I'm focused on you, so I couldn't help but say this."
When Mr. Lu heard the words, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought of Fu Wenpei, who had also been by his side for many years.
It was a gentle woman with a completely different personality from Xueqin.
Back then, he brought Xueqin, Wenpei and their children together to escape to Shanghai, but not long after the life finally stabilized, he drove Wenpei and her daughter out, leaving them to fend for themselves outside. .
He has always been very dissatisfied with Yiping, a stubborn daughter, and feels that this girl is always challenging his authority as the head of the Lu family, and he also dislikes Fu Wenpei, a mother, a little bit.
So back then, for the sake of the so-called "family harmony and prosperity", he acquiesced to the fact that Yiping's mother and daughter were framed by Xueqin and moved out of the Lu family.
But he never imagined that there would be such a day, when he was lonely, confused and even faintly doubting his whole life, the only person by his side would be this daughter who had been expelled from the Lu family for many years .
A strong sense of guilt came out of nowhere like a tsunami, making Mr. Lu's heart tremble uncontrollably.
He took a deep breath, and then said to Lu Yiping as gently as possible: "Yiping, over the years, Dad really owes you and your mother too much. In your heart... you really blame Dad, right?"
In Lu Yiping's 20 years of life, it was the first time that Mr. Lu said such words of concern for her.
She is actually a child who lacks love, but just because of her father's extremely simple apology, she feels that the grievances of the past 20 years are no longer important.
Lu Yiping answered Mr. Lu's question with a smile, although she could not hide the tears in her eyes when she answered, "Father, although I did feel wronged before, but with your words, I am completely I will never be wronged again!"
Mr. Lu was taken aback for a moment, and soon smiled in relief.
On this night that made him feel lonely for the first time in his life, there was such a daughter who was willing to accompany him and tell him that she actually loved him very much, which was enough to support his already crumbling heart.
Because it was getting late, Mr. Lu asked the driver to take Lu Yiping home first.
When the car arrived at the residence of Yiping's mother and daughter, before getting out of the car, Lu Yiping hesitated for a moment before turning around and asking Mr. Lu: "Father, would you like to sit down where my mother and I live?"
Mr. Lu looked at her quietly.
It was only then that Lu Yiping came to her senses. It seemed a little weird to say that, as if she was taking advantage of the feeling of helping her mother to fight for favor when her father and Aunt Xue were arguing, she quickly explained: "I just want to say that my mother and I have moved out for so many years. , You have never been here before, and you have finally arrived here today. Would you like to go in and rest? Also, we did not find Lieutenant Li and the others today. We have been looking for them at the station and dock during the day, but we forgot They may come to inform my mother before leaving. So it is possible that there will be Adjutant Li and their news from my mother, and it is not certain?"
Hearing Yiping mention that she had never been here for so many years, Mr. Lu's guilt and pity for Yiping and Fu Wenpei couldn't help but deepened.
When Lu Yiping finished telling Fu Wenpei that there might be news about Adjutant Li's family, Mr. Lu almost didn't even think about it. He immediately opened the car door and got out of the car. He said to Lu Yiping, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you knock on the door?"
When Lu Yiping heard this, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and after a cheerful response, she ran to knock on the door.
When Lu Yiping went out early this morning, her condition was really bad, so Fu Wenpei was always worried and uneasy throughout the whole day.
But after the sky was getting late and even the moon was out, Yiping hadn't come home yet.
Fu Wenpei, who was so anxious, became more and more frightened as he thought about it.
Because no matter how bad Yiping was in the past, she never returned home so late.
So after thinking about it, Fu Wenpei finally couldn't hold back the worry in his heart, and hurried to Lieutenant Li's house to see if Yiping was still there.
But what she didn't expect was that Lieutenant Li's house seemed to have been ransacked. Not only was the door wide open, but the house was empty and nothing was left behind. The figure of Lu Yiping.
Fu Wenpei was so anxious that she was on the verge of crying. She didn't know if something happened to Yiping and Lieutenant Li's family. Then she thought that maybe Yiping might have gone home, but she didn't meet her on the way, so Fu Wenpei hurried back. Home.
But what surprised her was that Yiping still didn't come home.
Fu Wenpei was almost dumbfounded. After crying for a while, he could only sit blankly in the yard, waiting desperately for Yiping to come back.
She even thought that if Yiping didn't come back in the middle of the night, she would go to Fuxu Road to find Mr. Lu and ask him to help find Yiping.
When she was thinking wildly, the knock on the door she had been waiting for for a long time finally rang, followed by Yiping's cheerful call: "Mom, mom, open the door quickly! I'm Yiping, I'm back! "
For a moment, Fu Wenpei even thought that he was too worried about Yiping and had an auditory hallucination.
Because since breaking up with Shuhuan, she has never heard such a joyful voice from Yiping.
But she rushed to the door immediately, opened the door, and called out "Yiping" in a sad voice!
The light at night was too dark, Lu Yiping didn't notice Fu Wenpei's abnormality at the first time, instead she quickly turned to let the person behind her go, and said to Fu Wenpei with a smile: "Mom! Look who's here!"
Following Lu Yiping's movements, Mr. Lu, who was standing behind her, quickly appeared.
He looked at the woman who froze after seeing him and couldn't even make a sound.
Although the light was dim, he understood from Fu Wenpei's sudden shortness of breath that Fu Wenpei already knew it was him, and he also suddenly realized that even though he had ignored Fu Wenpei for so many years, this woman was still As before, never forget him.
Old man Lu suddenly felt that he was really a very failed man, that's why he missed so much and failed so much in so many years.
That night, Mr. Lu did not stay at Yiping's mother and daughter's house.
It wasn't because of the poor environment there, nor was it because of the hard wooden bed that he hadn't slept in for many years.
It was because, after so many years of almost abandoning Yiping's mother and daughter, even though he was very clear that they still loved him very much, Mr. Lu still couldn't let himself feel at ease and accept their love and expectations for him so quickly.
The carefulness, single-mindedness and persistence in Fu Wenpei's eyes even made old man Lu feel for the first time that he turned out to be such a shameful and irresponsible man.
So Mr. Lu finally went back to the hotel in the French Concession to stay.
Too many things happened today, he really needs to organize his thoughts.
About his life, about the mother and daughter whom he owed for a long time, and the "home" that made him feel strange for the first time today, the "home" where he lived for many years.
For Mr. Lu and Yiping, mother and daughter, this day was really full of ups and downs.
For Wang Xueqin and her children who were still staying at the Lu family mansion, it was not an easy day.
Although old man Lu left, because Lu Erhao and Lu Ruping were injured, the rest of the Lu family were still very busy that night.
If there is a sick person at home, a doctor is naturally needed.
Worried about the injuries of Ruping and Erhao, Wang Xueqin immediately called the family doctor, Mr. Cao, after Mr. Lu left.
In the past two years, because Cao Xiangdong has been taken under the command of Lu Erhao and Wang Xueqin, and even Cao Xiangdong's son is now fully responsible for the business in Shanghai, the status of the Cao family will naturally no longer be as low as before. People despise.
Now that they are away from home, the Cao family father and son can be regarded as upstarts in the upper class, and they will be respectfully called "Mr. Cao" wherever they go, and the head of the Cao family, Mr. Cao, naturally no longer thinks that people see a doctor and take medicine to maintain their lives. For livelihood, ordinary people will naturally not be able to call Mr. Cao anymore.
But because of the close relationship with Wang Xueqin's mother and son, and because he really felt that Wang Xueqin's changes in the past two years were too great and unexpected, and he really liked Wang Xueqin's children, so when Mr. Cao heard that Lu Erhao and Lu Ruping were injured, although He had already fallen asleep before, so he hurriedly got up and packed the medicine box, and rushed over without stopping.
Although Lu Erhao's wound was grim, it was a superficial wound after all, and it was not fundamentally injured like the one two years ago, so Mr. Cao just took off the bandage that Wang Xueqin had bandaged Lu Erhao, looked at the wound, and nodded in reassurance. .
After putting the bandage back on, and instructing them on the precautions before the wound healed, Mr. Cao went to Lu Ruping's room.
As soon as he saw Lu Ruping, Mr. Cao's slightly frowned eyebrows immediately condensed into twists.
"Why is this child's face so white?!" Mr. Cao asked Wang Xueqin with raised eyebrows.
Wang Xueqin also frowned and said, "Her father got angry today and kicked Ruping's stomach, and she has been in severe pain since then, Mr. Cao, show her quickly."
Mr. Cao snorted angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with Mr. Lu, but he didn't say anything after all, and began to call Lu Ruping's pulse.
Lu Mengping, who had been frowning by the side all the time, looked at Ruping's pale face, Erhao who insisted on coming to see Ruping's diagnosis despite his arm injury, and Mr. Cao, who finally bit him. Gritting her teeth, ignoring the embarrassment, she stomped her feet and said, "Actually... Ruping is on her menstrual period these few days! She went out with her father and that Lu Yiping for a day, and she was already very tired, and she was kicked by her father on the stomach!"
At the end, Lu Mengping's voice was filled with tears, "Dad, what happened today! I went out with Lu Yiping, and when I came back, I went mad at our family. I didn't like everyone, and beat Erhao and Ruping. If Mom hadn’t said those words later, maybe even Mom and I would have been beaten half to death by Dad! Which Dad would be like him, who would fight with his wife and children every now and then, and still hit him so hard?!”
When she finished speaking, the tears in Lu Mengping's eyes were already faltering.
For a teenage girl like her, so many things happened in just one night, it was too shocking and too frightening.
Seeing Mengping's grievance and fear, Wang Xueqin sighed from the bottom of her heart, feeling guilty and distressed. After all, if she hadn't insisted on leaving Mr. Lu smoothly, what happened today would not have happened.
He reached out to stroke Mengping's hair. As soon as the child touched Wang Xueqin's warm hand, he immediately hugged Wang Xueqin's arm as if he had finally found support.
Wang Xueqin simply followed her. After Mengping told her, she realized that these days were indeed Ruping's menstrual period.This is the time when women are most vulnerable. Ruping ran out for a whole day without making a sound, and was kicked in the stomach by Mr. Lu in the end. It was hard for the child to fall asleep after Mr. Lu left.
When Mr. Cao heard about Lu Ruping's situation, he felt that he was about to be pissed to death by these young people in the Lu family who could make trouble.
After explaining Lu Ruping's condition to Wang Xueqin and the others in a rough voice, Mr. Cao wrote the prescription angrily, and then grabbed Wang Xueqin and the others to talk about the precautions for a long time before finally leaving the Lu family.
Although Lu Ruping was severely kicked by Mr. Lu today, but fortunately she is young, and because she has learned boxing and kicking skills with Mu Wanxi for almost a year, her physical fitness is very good now, so she did not cause any serious problems .
But after all, I spent a hard day outside today, overworked, and was injured in the end, so in the following days, it is obvious that I need to take a good care of myself before I can completely recover.
Regarding this, Wang Xueqin, Lu Erhao, and Lu Mengping were naturally relieved.
It's just that Ruping is already engaged to Ye Lin after all, and Ruping sees Ye Lin every day at school. After such an incident today, the school obviously needs to ask for a period of leave to recuperate at home just work.
In this way, Ye Lin naturally couldn't hide it.
Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Xueqin didn't want to hide this from Ye Lin.
So after thinking about it for a while, Wang Xueqin asked Mengping to call Ye Lin after leaving Ruping's room.
So that night, the Lu family's mansion, which had been tossing around for a day, once again ushered in a travel-worn guest.
When Ye Lin arrived at Lu's house, it was already early morning.
When the doorbell rang hurriedly, Wang Xueqin and Zhang Ma, who were making medicine for Ruping in the kitchen, were taken aback for a moment, thinking it was Mr. Lu who had returned.
In the middle of the night, Wang Xueqin didn't have the mind to fight wits with Mr. Lu, so she sent Mama Zhang to open the door.
But what she didn't expect was that the person who followed Zhang Ma into the door was not Mr. Lu, but Ye Lin, who had a rare emotion in his eyes.
"Aunt Lu." Seeing that Wang Xueqin hadn't fallen asleep, Ye Lin was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and said in a hurried tone, "I received a call from Mengping before, and I heard that Ruping was injured. I was really worried, so I hurried over."
At the end, he looked at the surprised expression on Wang Xueqin's face, pursed his lips, and then said in a slightly stiff voice, "I'm sorry for the sudden disturbance late at night."
Wang Xueqin was really surprised.
Although she has always known that Ruping and Ye Lin have a good relationship, but because Ye Lin is too cold-tempered and rarely shows his emotions, she has always been a little worried—and she doesn't know how Ye Lin's temperament will be in the future. You can't know the cold and the hot, but you can feel distressed like Ping.
But obviously, because of today's accident, she saw another side of Ye Lin.
Seeing that Ye Lin was really in a hurry and his breathing was a little short, Wang Xueqin hurriedly said to him: "It's okay, it's the middle of the night, it's really kind of you to come here. Ruping has seen a doctor before, and there is nothing serious about it. No, no, I'm decocting medicine for her right now, and I can serve it to her when it's ready."
Having said that, Wang Xueqin thought for a while and saw that Ye Lin was so anxious that thin cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After pondering for a moment, he finally nodded to Zhang Mama, "Zhang Mama, take Ye Lin up to see it first." Look at Ruping, this child seems to be in a hurry."
Upon hearing this, Mama Zhang turned her head to look at the future uncle who had always been cold-spoken. Sure enough, she saw that Ye Lin's face was already a little anxious, so she hurriedly responded and led Ye Lin upstairs to visit Lu Ruping.
When the medicine was about to be ready, Lu Mengping, who was taking care of Lu Ruping's room, slipped into the kitchen.
Wang Xueqin was taken aback by this girl, and saw that Lu Mengping had a strange expression on her face, as if she was about to laugh, but also she said to Wang Xueqin, "Mom, is Ruping's medicine ready?"
Wang Xueqin glanced at her inexplicably, "It will be fine soon, you are not taking care of Ruping up there, what are you doing here?"
Lu Mengping rubbed her arms exaggeratedly, rolled her eyes and said, "If I stay on it, I will be blinded by my light bulb!"
Wang Xueqin laughed as soon as she heard it, knowing that Mengping was teasing Ye Lin and Ruping, she couldn't help pinching Mengping's little nose, "You're the one who is naughty."
After finishing speaking, Wang Xueqin still looked at Lu Mengping puzzledly, "I asked you to call Ye Lin to tell Ye Lin that Ruping will take a few days off next, but I didn't ask you to tell Ye Lin what happened today, why did Ye Lin know that Is Ping hurt?"
Hearing this, Lu Mengping immediately wrinkled her face into a small chrysanthemum, and said through gritted teeth: "Mom, if you don't tell me, I'll forget it! This future brother-in-law, so I misread him before! You don't know, I originally called him At the beginning, I really only said that there was something going on at home for the past few days, and that Ruping at school would ask for a few days off. Who knew that Brother Ye would immediately ask me what was going on with our family, and what would Ruping do if something happened? , Do you need his help, etc... You usually don't want to say a word, but I didn't expect it to change so much when it comes to Ruping!"
Speaking of this, Lu Mengping puffed her cheeks, glanced at Wang Xueqin secretly, and saw that her mother didn't seem to blame herself, so she continued to confess unhappily: "I was also in a mess at the time, and he kept asking, I kept asking. I think, anyway, when Ruping gets better, they will talk about this matter when they meet, so why not just tell him the truth..."
Speaking of this, Lu Mengping's eyes lit up suddenly, "By the way, I remember that I just said 'Ruping was kicked by my father' at that time, and the phone was disconnected all of a sudden. I didn't know it was He hung up the phone or there was a problem with the line, and he didn't know if he should call again, and he struggled for a long time..."
After finishing speaking, seeing Wang Xueqin looking at her with a smile that wasn't a smile, Lu Mengping walked to Wang Xueqin's side in a few steps, hugged Wang Xueqin's arm, and said flatteringly: "Unexpectedly, although Big Brother Ye usually looks quite indifferent, To be so concerned about Ruping's affairs...to run over in the middle of the night, hehe..."
Wang Xueqin knocked on the head of her little daughter angrily. Lu Mengping quickly covered her forehead and looked at Wang Xueqin with teary eyes.
I heard Wang Xueqin say in a bad mood: "Although Ye Lin cares about Ruping so much, I am also very happy, but after all, men and women are not close. Although Ruping and Ye Lin are engaged, they have not married yet. He suddenly He ran to our house and wanted to visit Ruping, what will others think if it gets out?"
Lu Mengping just remembered this matter, and she was a little confused.
Wang Xueqin sighed and comforted: "I don't blame you for this matter. When I asked you to call, I actually expected this situation to some extent. But it may not be a bad thing. At least let us You know, Ye Lin really puts Ruping on top of her heart."
When Lu Mengping thought of Ye Lin's serious look at Ruping after she entered the door just now, and the anxiety and distress in his eyes that were almost overflowing, she immediately nodded her head sympathetically, " really."
However, she soon remembered another thing.
"By the way, Mom...Brother Ye came to our house so late, so where does he live tonight?"
Wang Xueqin felt a little worried when she heard the words.
It stands to reason that, no matter what, Ye Lin is not suitable to stay at Lu's house.
But today's situation is so special, even if Ye Lin is allowed to go home, it is unlikely that he will leave.
So Wang Xueqin simply stopped entangled with herself, took the medicine directly after decocting the medicine, and went to Lu Ruping's room with Lu Mengping.
Seeing Wang Xueqin brought the medicine, Ye Lin had been sitting on the chair next to Lu Ruping's bed, watching her sleepy face, Ye Lin quickly gave up his seat and asked Wang Xueqin to give Lu Ruping the medicine.
Although he would prefer to feed Ruping the medicine himself, it is obviously very rude for him to visit late at night today. If he behaves too uncontrollably and overwhelms the guest, it will probably leave a bad impression on Ruping's family.
So even though he was a little unwilling in his heart, Ye Lin obediently gave up the seat beside Lu Ruping's bed.
After Wang Xueqin finally fed the medicine to Ruping who was sleeping, Ye Lin stood up awkwardly under Wang Xueqin's gaze.
The Ye family is also a very traditional family, so in fact, when he went out before, he was blocked by Ye's mother.
After all, a sudden visit to his fiancée's house in the middle of the night was a little too much.
So no matter how worried Ruping was, Ye Lin knew that no matter what, he couldn't stay by Ruping's side all the time tonight.
And in fact, before Ruping's mother allowed him to visit her in Ruping's room late at night, Ye Lin was already surprised and grateful enough.
So when Wang Xueqin looked over, Ye Lin was already ready to be ordered to leave.
But Wang Xueqin smiled at him softly, and said softly: "I know, if I let you go back tonight, you will definitely be so worried that you won't be able to sleep, and you will continue to run over tomorrow morning. So let's not be polite at all." , you can take the guest room on the first floor of our house tonight. This way, when Ruping wakes up tomorrow morning, you will know as soon as possible."
Later, according to Ye Lin's recollection, it was on this night that he felt for the first time that his future mother-in-law turned out to be such a reasonable and good person.
So the next morning, when Lu Ruping woke up from a deep sleep, the first thing she saw was Ye Lin who was standing beside his bed with focused eyes.
After being slightly stunned, Lu Ruping rolled her eyes, and after confirming that this was indeed her home, her own room, she raised the corners of her lips slightly, and asked Ye Lin in a little surprise, "Why... are you here?"
Ye Lin didn't answer her question. The moment he saw Lu Ruping finally woke up, his heart, which had been restless all night after hearing the news of Lu Ruping's accident, finally returned to its original position trembling.
And that sentence that has been lingering in his heart since last night finally blurted out impatiently at this moment, "Ruping, let's get married."
There were so many things that happened that day, whether it was the matter of Adjutant Li or what Wang Xueqin said today, he was in a state of confusion.
Sometimes he even felt that even when he was facing the enemy's hail of bullets on the battlefield back then, it was not as troublesome as it is now.
So he just took one last look at the few people who were gathering together to give medicine to Lu Erhao, then turned around and left the gate of Lu's house again.
At this moment, he has no feeling that anyone in this family still needs him.
The one who left with him was Lu Yiping who could no longer find a reason to stay here.
Asked the driver to drive him to a hotel in the French Concession for an overnight stay. On the way to the hotel, Mr. Lu looked at the neon lights flashing outside the window and was silent for a long time before asking Lu Yiping, "Yiping, do you still remember Xueqin saying those words?"
Lu Yiping was startled, she didn't expect her father to speak out suddenly.
But then, she hesitated and said: "Father, Aunt Xue said so many things today... I don't know what you said, but which one is it?"
As soon as Mr. Lu heard her words, he couldn't help laughing, but then, the smile on his face quickly faded, replaced by a deep tiredness and an uncertainty that rarely appeared on his face .
He was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "When you handed me the whip, you were also afraid in your heart."
Lu Yiping took a breath.
Mr. Lu was sitting next to her, and naturally noticed Lu Yiping's subconscious action immediately. The thin hope that originally existed in the eyes quickly dimmed in the darkness, but it's a pity that the light in the car is not good Lu Yiping naturally didn't see it.
But soon, Lu Yiping smiled wryly, and unexpectedly said, "Father, in fact, I have never thought that it is suitable to use that horsewhip when facing family members."
Mr. Lu's heart sank even more.
As early as when Mr. Lu turned around and left the gate of Lu's house, Lu Yiping realized that Aunt Xue's words today probably really hurt her father's proud heart that had been in her life for a lifetime.
What a proud man Lu Zhenhua is, as his daughter, Lu Yiping, naturally knows it.
So even though she agreed with Aunt Xue's last words today, Lu Yiping forced a smile on her face and comforted Mr. Lu, "But Dad, in the hearts of us children, you will always be the all-powerful hero back then. Although We have never said it before, but in fact, whether it is me, Erhao, Ruping, Mengping or even Xiao Erjie, we all adore Dad very much. We love you very much, so Dad, you must not mind what Aunt Xue said .”
Thinking of Wang Xueqin who said those words to her father today, although her heart was very hostile, Lu Yiping still suppressed her distaste for Wang Xueqin, and said in a down-to-earth manner: "There is also Aunt Xue... Dad, Aunt Xue is by your side after all. Your woman for decades, if you think about it today, she didn't say those words on purpose, and she should be so reckless because she was angry. Dad, please calm down. "
When Mr. Lu heard the words, he naturally felt a little bit in his heart.
But how much this girl Yiping hates Wang Xueqin, Mr. Lu naturally knows, so he finally couldn't help laughing, looked at Lu Yiping and said: "Why, I didn't expect that you would have a day to speak for Xueqin? Don't you Have you always been against her?"
Mr. Lu asked bluntly. Lu Yiping was a little embarrassed at once, but she still said truthfully: "Although I don't like Aunt Xue, these are facts after all. It is because my mother, like Aunt Xue, is your woman, both of you. I'm focused on you, so I couldn't help but say this."
When Mr. Lu heard the words, his heart skipped a beat, and he thought of Fu Wenpei, who had also been by his side for many years.
It was a gentle woman with a completely different personality from Xueqin.
Back then, he brought Xueqin, Wenpei and their children together to escape to Shanghai, but not long after the life finally stabilized, he drove Wenpei and her daughter out, leaving them to fend for themselves outside. .
He has always been very dissatisfied with Yiping, a stubborn daughter, and feels that this girl is always challenging his authority as the head of the Lu family, and he also dislikes Fu Wenpei, a mother, a little bit.
So back then, for the sake of the so-called "family harmony and prosperity", he acquiesced to the fact that Yiping's mother and daughter were framed by Xueqin and moved out of the Lu family.
But he never imagined that there would be such a day, when he was lonely, confused and even faintly doubting his whole life, the only person by his side would be this daughter who had been expelled from the Lu family for many years .
A strong sense of guilt came out of nowhere like a tsunami, making Mr. Lu's heart tremble uncontrollably.
He took a deep breath, and then said to Lu Yiping as gently as possible: "Yiping, over the years, Dad really owes you and your mother too much. In your heart... you really blame Dad, right?"
In Lu Yiping's 20 years of life, it was the first time that Mr. Lu said such words of concern for her.
She is actually a child who lacks love, but just because of her father's extremely simple apology, she feels that the grievances of the past 20 years are no longer important.
Lu Yiping answered Mr. Lu's question with a smile, although she could not hide the tears in her eyes when she answered, "Father, although I did feel wronged before, but with your words, I am completely I will never be wronged again!"
Mr. Lu was taken aback for a moment, and soon smiled in relief.
On this night that made him feel lonely for the first time in his life, there was such a daughter who was willing to accompany him and tell him that she actually loved him very much, which was enough to support his already crumbling heart.
Because it was getting late, Mr. Lu asked the driver to take Lu Yiping home first.
When the car arrived at the residence of Yiping's mother and daughter, before getting out of the car, Lu Yiping hesitated for a moment before turning around and asking Mr. Lu: "Father, would you like to sit down where my mother and I live?"
Mr. Lu looked at her quietly.
It was only then that Lu Yiping came to her senses. It seemed a little weird to say that, as if she was taking advantage of the feeling of helping her mother to fight for favor when her father and Aunt Xue were arguing, she quickly explained: "I just want to say that my mother and I have moved out for so many years. , You have never been here before, and you have finally arrived here today. Would you like to go in and rest? Also, we did not find Lieutenant Li and the others today. We have been looking for them at the station and dock during the day, but we forgot They may come to inform my mother before leaving. So it is possible that there will be Adjutant Li and their news from my mother, and it is not certain?"
Hearing Yiping mention that she had never been here for so many years, Mr. Lu's guilt and pity for Yiping and Fu Wenpei couldn't help but deepened.
When Lu Yiping finished telling Fu Wenpei that there might be news about Adjutant Li's family, Mr. Lu almost didn't even think about it. He immediately opened the car door and got out of the car. He said to Lu Yiping, "What are you waiting for? Why don't you knock on the door?"
When Lu Yiping heard this, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and after a cheerful response, she ran to knock on the door.
When Lu Yiping went out early this morning, her condition was really bad, so Fu Wenpei was always worried and uneasy throughout the whole day.
But after the sky was getting late and even the moon was out, Yiping hadn't come home yet.
Fu Wenpei, who was so anxious, became more and more frightened as he thought about it.
Because no matter how bad Yiping was in the past, she never returned home so late.
So after thinking about it, Fu Wenpei finally couldn't hold back the worry in his heart, and hurried to Lieutenant Li's house to see if Yiping was still there.
But what she didn't expect was that Lieutenant Li's house seemed to have been ransacked. Not only was the door wide open, but the house was empty and nothing was left behind. The figure of Lu Yiping.
Fu Wenpei was so anxious that she was on the verge of crying. She didn't know if something happened to Yiping and Lieutenant Li's family. Then she thought that maybe Yiping might have gone home, but she didn't meet her on the way, so Fu Wenpei hurried back. Home.
But what surprised her was that Yiping still didn't come home.
Fu Wenpei was almost dumbfounded. After crying for a while, he could only sit blankly in the yard, waiting desperately for Yiping to come back.
She even thought that if Yiping didn't come back in the middle of the night, she would go to Fuxu Road to find Mr. Lu and ask him to help find Yiping.
When she was thinking wildly, the knock on the door she had been waiting for for a long time finally rang, followed by Yiping's cheerful call: "Mom, mom, open the door quickly! I'm Yiping, I'm back! "
For a moment, Fu Wenpei even thought that he was too worried about Yiping and had an auditory hallucination.
Because since breaking up with Shuhuan, she has never heard such a joyful voice from Yiping.
But she rushed to the door immediately, opened the door, and called out "Yiping" in a sad voice!
The light at night was too dark, Lu Yiping didn't notice Fu Wenpei's abnormality at the first time, instead she quickly turned to let the person behind her go, and said to Fu Wenpei with a smile: "Mom! Look who's here!"
Following Lu Yiping's movements, Mr. Lu, who was standing behind her, quickly appeared.
He looked at the woman who froze after seeing him and couldn't even make a sound.
Although the light was dim, he understood from Fu Wenpei's sudden shortness of breath that Fu Wenpei already knew it was him, and he also suddenly realized that even though he had ignored Fu Wenpei for so many years, this woman was still As before, never forget him.
Old man Lu suddenly felt that he was really a very failed man, that's why he missed so much and failed so much in so many years.
That night, Mr. Lu did not stay at Yiping's mother and daughter's house.
It wasn't because of the poor environment there, nor was it because of the hard wooden bed that he hadn't slept in for many years.
It was because, after so many years of almost abandoning Yiping's mother and daughter, even though he was very clear that they still loved him very much, Mr. Lu still couldn't let himself feel at ease and accept their love and expectations for him so quickly.
The carefulness, single-mindedness and persistence in Fu Wenpei's eyes even made old man Lu feel for the first time that he turned out to be such a shameful and irresponsible man.
So Mr. Lu finally went back to the hotel in the French Concession to stay.
Too many things happened today, he really needs to organize his thoughts.
About his life, about the mother and daughter whom he owed for a long time, and the "home" that made him feel strange for the first time today, the "home" where he lived for many years.
For Mr. Lu and Yiping, mother and daughter, this day was really full of ups and downs.
For Wang Xueqin and her children who were still staying at the Lu family mansion, it was not an easy day.
Although old man Lu left, because Lu Erhao and Lu Ruping were injured, the rest of the Lu family were still very busy that night.
If there is a sick person at home, a doctor is naturally needed.
Worried about the injuries of Ruping and Erhao, Wang Xueqin immediately called the family doctor, Mr. Cao, after Mr. Lu left.
In the past two years, because Cao Xiangdong has been taken under the command of Lu Erhao and Wang Xueqin, and even Cao Xiangdong's son is now fully responsible for the business in Shanghai, the status of the Cao family will naturally no longer be as low as before. People despise.
Now that they are away from home, the Cao family father and son can be regarded as upstarts in the upper class, and they will be respectfully called "Mr. Cao" wherever they go, and the head of the Cao family, Mr. Cao, naturally no longer thinks that people see a doctor and take medicine to maintain their lives. For livelihood, ordinary people will naturally not be able to call Mr. Cao anymore.
But because of the close relationship with Wang Xueqin's mother and son, and because he really felt that Wang Xueqin's changes in the past two years were too great and unexpected, and he really liked Wang Xueqin's children, so when Mr. Cao heard that Lu Erhao and Lu Ruping were injured, although He had already fallen asleep before, so he hurriedly got up and packed the medicine box, and rushed over without stopping.
Although Lu Erhao's wound was grim, it was a superficial wound after all, and it was not fundamentally injured like the one two years ago, so Mr. Cao just took off the bandage that Wang Xueqin had bandaged Lu Erhao, looked at the wound, and nodded in reassurance. .
After putting the bandage back on, and instructing them on the precautions before the wound healed, Mr. Cao went to Lu Ruping's room.
As soon as he saw Lu Ruping, Mr. Cao's slightly frowned eyebrows immediately condensed into twists.
"Why is this child's face so white?!" Mr. Cao asked Wang Xueqin with raised eyebrows.
Wang Xueqin also frowned and said, "Her father got angry today and kicked Ruping's stomach, and she has been in severe pain since then, Mr. Cao, show her quickly."
Mr. Cao snorted angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with Mr. Lu, but he didn't say anything after all, and began to call Lu Ruping's pulse.
Lu Mengping, who had been frowning by the side all the time, looked at Ruping's pale face, Erhao who insisted on coming to see Ruping's diagnosis despite his arm injury, and Mr. Cao, who finally bit him. Gritting her teeth, ignoring the embarrassment, she stomped her feet and said, "Actually... Ruping is on her menstrual period these few days! She went out with her father and that Lu Yiping for a day, and she was already very tired, and she was kicked by her father on the stomach!"
At the end, Lu Mengping's voice was filled with tears, "Dad, what happened today! I went out with Lu Yiping, and when I came back, I went mad at our family. I didn't like everyone, and beat Erhao and Ruping. If Mom hadn’t said those words later, maybe even Mom and I would have been beaten half to death by Dad! Which Dad would be like him, who would fight with his wife and children every now and then, and still hit him so hard?!”
When she finished speaking, the tears in Lu Mengping's eyes were already faltering.
For a teenage girl like her, so many things happened in just one night, it was too shocking and too frightening.
Seeing Mengping's grievance and fear, Wang Xueqin sighed from the bottom of her heart, feeling guilty and distressed. After all, if she hadn't insisted on leaving Mr. Lu smoothly, what happened today would not have happened.
He reached out to stroke Mengping's hair. As soon as the child touched Wang Xueqin's warm hand, he immediately hugged Wang Xueqin's arm as if he had finally found support.
Wang Xueqin simply followed her. After Mengping told her, she realized that these days were indeed Ruping's menstrual period.This is the time when women are most vulnerable. Ruping ran out for a whole day without making a sound, and was kicked in the stomach by Mr. Lu in the end. It was hard for the child to fall asleep after Mr. Lu left.
When Mr. Cao heard about Lu Ruping's situation, he felt that he was about to be pissed to death by these young people in the Lu family who could make trouble.
After explaining Lu Ruping's condition to Wang Xueqin and the others in a rough voice, Mr. Cao wrote the prescription angrily, and then grabbed Wang Xueqin and the others to talk about the precautions for a long time before finally leaving the Lu family.
Although Lu Ruping was severely kicked by Mr. Lu today, but fortunately she is young, and because she has learned boxing and kicking skills with Mu Wanxi for almost a year, her physical fitness is very good now, so she did not cause any serious problems .
But after all, I spent a hard day outside today, overworked, and was injured in the end, so in the following days, it is obvious that I need to take a good care of myself before I can completely recover.
Regarding this, Wang Xueqin, Lu Erhao, and Lu Mengping were naturally relieved.
It's just that Ruping is already engaged to Ye Lin after all, and Ruping sees Ye Lin every day at school. After such an incident today, the school obviously needs to ask for a period of leave to recuperate at home just work.
In this way, Ye Lin naturally couldn't hide it.
Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Xueqin didn't want to hide this from Ye Lin.
So after thinking about it for a while, Wang Xueqin asked Mengping to call Ye Lin after leaving Ruping's room.
So that night, the Lu family's mansion, which had been tossing around for a day, once again ushered in a travel-worn guest.
When Ye Lin arrived at Lu's house, it was already early morning.
When the doorbell rang hurriedly, Wang Xueqin and Zhang Ma, who were making medicine for Ruping in the kitchen, were taken aback for a moment, thinking it was Mr. Lu who had returned.
In the middle of the night, Wang Xueqin didn't have the mind to fight wits with Mr. Lu, so she sent Mama Zhang to open the door.
But what she didn't expect was that the person who followed Zhang Ma into the door was not Mr. Lu, but Ye Lin, who had a rare emotion in his eyes.
"Aunt Lu." Seeing that Wang Xueqin hadn't fallen asleep, Ye Lin was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and said in a hurried tone, "I received a call from Mengping before, and I heard that Ruping was injured. I was really worried, so I hurried over."
At the end, he looked at the surprised expression on Wang Xueqin's face, pursed his lips, and then said in a slightly stiff voice, "I'm sorry for the sudden disturbance late at night."
Wang Xueqin was really surprised.
Although she has always known that Ruping and Ye Lin have a good relationship, but because Ye Lin is too cold-tempered and rarely shows his emotions, she has always been a little worried—and she doesn't know how Ye Lin's temperament will be in the future. You can't know the cold and the hot, but you can feel distressed like Ping.
But obviously, because of today's accident, she saw another side of Ye Lin.
Seeing that Ye Lin was really in a hurry and his breathing was a little short, Wang Xueqin hurriedly said to him: "It's okay, it's the middle of the night, it's really kind of you to come here. Ruping has seen a doctor before, and there is nothing serious about it. No, no, I'm decocting medicine for her right now, and I can serve it to her when it's ready."
Having said that, Wang Xueqin thought for a while and saw that Ye Lin was so anxious that thin cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After pondering for a moment, he finally nodded to Zhang Mama, "Zhang Mama, take Ye Lin up to see it first." Look at Ruping, this child seems to be in a hurry."
Upon hearing this, Mama Zhang turned her head to look at the future uncle who had always been cold-spoken. Sure enough, she saw that Ye Lin's face was already a little anxious, so she hurriedly responded and led Ye Lin upstairs to visit Lu Ruping.
When the medicine was about to be ready, Lu Mengping, who was taking care of Lu Ruping's room, slipped into the kitchen.
Wang Xueqin was taken aback by this girl, and saw that Lu Mengping had a strange expression on her face, as if she was about to laugh, but also she said to Wang Xueqin, "Mom, is Ruping's medicine ready?"
Wang Xueqin glanced at her inexplicably, "It will be fine soon, you are not taking care of Ruping up there, what are you doing here?"
Lu Mengping rubbed her arms exaggeratedly, rolled her eyes and said, "If I stay on it, I will be blinded by my light bulb!"
Wang Xueqin laughed as soon as she heard it, knowing that Mengping was teasing Ye Lin and Ruping, she couldn't help pinching Mengping's little nose, "You're the one who is naughty."
After finishing speaking, Wang Xueqin still looked at Lu Mengping puzzledly, "I asked you to call Ye Lin to tell Ye Lin that Ruping will take a few days off next, but I didn't ask you to tell Ye Lin what happened today, why did Ye Lin know that Is Ping hurt?"
Hearing this, Lu Mengping immediately wrinkled her face into a small chrysanthemum, and said through gritted teeth: "Mom, if you don't tell me, I'll forget it! This future brother-in-law, so I misread him before! You don't know, I originally called him At the beginning, I really only said that there was something going on at home for the past few days, and that Ruping at school would ask for a few days off. Who knew that Brother Ye would immediately ask me what was going on with our family, and what would Ruping do if something happened? , Do you need his help, etc... You usually don't want to say a word, but I didn't expect it to change so much when it comes to Ruping!"
Speaking of this, Lu Mengping puffed her cheeks, glanced at Wang Xueqin secretly, and saw that her mother didn't seem to blame herself, so she continued to confess unhappily: "I was also in a mess at the time, and he kept asking, I kept asking. I think, anyway, when Ruping gets better, they will talk about this matter when they meet, so why not just tell him the truth..."
Speaking of this, Lu Mengping's eyes lit up suddenly, "By the way, I remember that I just said 'Ruping was kicked by my father' at that time, and the phone was disconnected all of a sudden. I didn't know it was He hung up the phone or there was a problem with the line, and he didn't know if he should call again, and he struggled for a long time..."
After finishing speaking, seeing Wang Xueqin looking at her with a smile that wasn't a smile, Lu Mengping walked to Wang Xueqin's side in a few steps, hugged Wang Xueqin's arm, and said flatteringly: "Unexpectedly, although Big Brother Ye usually looks quite indifferent, To be so concerned about Ruping's affairs...to run over in the middle of the night, hehe..."
Wang Xueqin knocked on the head of her little daughter angrily. Lu Mengping quickly covered her forehead and looked at Wang Xueqin with teary eyes.
I heard Wang Xueqin say in a bad mood: "Although Ye Lin cares about Ruping so much, I am also very happy, but after all, men and women are not close. Although Ruping and Ye Lin are engaged, they have not married yet. He suddenly He ran to our house and wanted to visit Ruping, what will others think if it gets out?"
Lu Mengping just remembered this matter, and she was a little confused.
Wang Xueqin sighed and comforted: "I don't blame you for this matter. When I asked you to call, I actually expected this situation to some extent. But it may not be a bad thing. At least let us You know, Ye Lin really puts Ruping on top of her heart."
When Lu Mengping thought of Ye Lin's serious look at Ruping after she entered the door just now, and the anxiety and distress in his eyes that were almost overflowing, she immediately nodded her head sympathetically, " really."
However, she soon remembered another thing.
"By the way, Mom...Brother Ye came to our house so late, so where does he live tonight?"
Wang Xueqin felt a little worried when she heard the words.
It stands to reason that, no matter what, Ye Lin is not suitable to stay at Lu's house.
But today's situation is so special, even if Ye Lin is allowed to go home, it is unlikely that he will leave.
So Wang Xueqin simply stopped entangled with herself, took the medicine directly after decocting the medicine, and went to Lu Ruping's room with Lu Mengping.
Seeing Wang Xueqin brought the medicine, Ye Lin had been sitting on the chair next to Lu Ruping's bed, watching her sleepy face, Ye Lin quickly gave up his seat and asked Wang Xueqin to give Lu Ruping the medicine.
Although he would prefer to feed Ruping the medicine himself, it is obviously very rude for him to visit late at night today. If he behaves too uncontrollably and overwhelms the guest, it will probably leave a bad impression on Ruping's family.
So even though he was a little unwilling in his heart, Ye Lin obediently gave up the seat beside Lu Ruping's bed.
After Wang Xueqin finally fed the medicine to Ruping who was sleeping, Ye Lin stood up awkwardly under Wang Xueqin's gaze.
The Ye family is also a very traditional family, so in fact, when he went out before, he was blocked by Ye's mother.
After all, a sudden visit to his fiancée's house in the middle of the night was a little too much.
So no matter how worried Ruping was, Ye Lin knew that no matter what, he couldn't stay by Ruping's side all the time tonight.
And in fact, before Ruping's mother allowed him to visit her in Ruping's room late at night, Ye Lin was already surprised and grateful enough.
So when Wang Xueqin looked over, Ye Lin was already ready to be ordered to leave.
But Wang Xueqin smiled at him softly, and said softly: "I know, if I let you go back tonight, you will definitely be so worried that you won't be able to sleep, and you will continue to run over tomorrow morning. So let's not be polite at all." , you can take the guest room on the first floor of our house tonight. This way, when Ruping wakes up tomorrow morning, you will know as soon as possible."
Later, according to Ye Lin's recollection, it was on this night that he felt for the first time that his future mother-in-law turned out to be such a reasonable and good person.
So the next morning, when Lu Ruping woke up from a deep sleep, the first thing she saw was Ye Lin who was standing beside his bed with focused eyes.
After being slightly stunned, Lu Ruping rolled her eyes, and after confirming that this was indeed her home, her own room, she raised the corners of her lips slightly, and asked Ye Lin in a little surprise, "Why... are you here?"
Ye Lin didn't answer her question. The moment he saw Lu Ruping finally woke up, his heart, which had been restless all night after hearing the news of Lu Ruping's accident, finally returned to its original position trembling.
And that sentence that has been lingering in his heart since last night finally blurted out impatiently at this moment, "Ruping, let's get married."
