Lu Jingchuan listened quietly to the mother and daughter talking. They looked similar. Bai Linglong's appearance and facial features were similar to those of his mother, but their charm and temperament were different. Her mother was gentle, quiet and indifferent, but she was much more playful, lively and agile.
Bai Narcissus said a few words to her daughter and asked her to continue eating. She slowly turned her head and continued chatting with Lu Jingchuan: "Xiao Lu, I heard from Linglong that you are visiting relatives in Tancheng this time?"
"Yes, my family is from Kyoto, and my aunt and uncle work in Tancheng. My vacation this time is not long, only ten days off. It will be my uncle's fiftieth birthday in two days, and I will come to celebrate his birthday with him."
Song Jinyao and his wife have been working in Tancheng for many years. They have two sons and one daughter. The eldest daughter has been married for a long time. The son-in-law lives in Kyoto, and the family of four lives in Kyoto.
The eldest son is the same age as Lu Jingchuan. He is not yet married. He chose the path of politics and now works in Haicheng.
Song Tao is their youngest son. He is currently studying at the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' University in the provincial capital and will come back to accompany them during winter and summer vacations.
On Song Jinyao's birthday this time, the eldest daughter and son couldn't spare the time to come back. Other relatives in the family were also busy with work and study. Only he happened to be on holiday, so the elders sent him as a representative to celebrate his birthday.
After Lu Jingchuan's parents divorced, he and his younger brother lived with their mother, and they had a better relationship with their grandfather's relatives.
The Zhou family attaches great importance to family ties. Grandpa and grandma love them very much. Both uncles and aunts treat the brothers as their own sons. He will go home to visit relatives and elders every time he is on vacation.
"Where is the army you work at stationed?" Bai Narcissus asked again.
"Seoul."
Bai Narcissus nodded slightly and said as if he was nostalgic: "Tancheng is not very far from Seoul. It only takes seven or eight hours by train."
"Auntie, have you been to Seoul?" Lu Jingchuan opened the conversation.
"I've been there before. When I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I went there with the elders in my family."
After hearing her answer, Lu Jingchuan's eyes flashed and he realized, "Auntie, I heard the doctor said before that you had suffered a head injury. Linglong said that you had lost your memory and had forgotten the past. Do you remember it now?"
"Well, I remembered it." Bai Narcissus twitched the corner of his mouth.
Bai Linglong just finished eating at this time, put the bowls and chopsticks on the cabinet, and then asked: "Mom, I haven't asked you before, where is grandpa's family from?"
"Linglong, it doesn't matter where your grandpa's family is from anymore. Your grandpa, grandma, and other relatives are gone and have long since turned into dust. There are only two of us, mother and daughter, left in our family."
When Bai Narcissus said this, her mood became obviously depressed, and her eyelids drooped, covering up the strong grief inside.
When Bai Linglong saw that there was no one in her grandfather's house, her mood fell to the bottom. Although her mother didn't say anything about her grandfather's house, she guessed that it was a disaster or a heavy disaster that she didn't want to mention.
"Mom, you have just had an operation. It is not appropriate for you to be emotionally ups and downs. Don't think about the past for the time being." Bai Linglong quickly persuaded her, fearing that her excessive emotions would affect her recovery.
"good."
Bai Narcissus has experienced a lot, and his character is much tougher than when he was young, and he quickly adjusted.
"Dong dong..."
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Bai Linglong got up and opened the door. When he saw Song Tao outside, he immediately invited him in.
Song Tao was holding a bag of rock sugar tangerines in his hand. He put it into her hand when he entered the room. He walked in quietly and asked in a low voice: "Is your mother awake?"
"You're awake and talking to us."
Seeing that he woke up, Song Tao stopped suppressing his voice, strode to the bedside, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, aunt, I am Song Tao, Lu Jingchuan's cousin."
"Hello, Xiao Song." Bai Narcissus smiled gently.
When Bai Narcissus was sent out of the operating room yesterday, her head was wrapped with thick gauze. Song Tao could only see half of her face. Today, some of the gauze was removed, revealing her complete face.
Seeing that mother and daughter looked very much alike, Song Tao smiled and said, "Linglong is so beautiful because she inherited her good looks from her aunt."
Bai Narcissus smiled and saw his daughter bringing a bench over and greeted him: "Xiao Song, please sit down."
"Thanks."
Song Tao had just gone to investigate the matter. He sat down and told them the new news: "Linglong, I just got the accurate news. Your scumbag father was notified by the steel factory to take leave. Qin Menglan was working at the radio station within the Ministry of Armed Forces. Yang The family intervened and she was just fired from her work unit, and the notice from her work unit also emphasized that she had serious problems with her personal style."
Qin Menglan was expelled, which was beyond Bai Linglong's expectation. "The Yang family is quite courageous. I thought they would scold her at most for the sake of their two grandchildren."
"Qin Menglan and her father-in-law have a notoriously tough temper in the circle. He can't rub a grain of sand out of his eyes. He values the Yang family's face more than their lives."
"Qin Menglan's behavior was like a slap in the face of the Yang family and touched his inverse scale. Moreover, this incident caused a storm in the city. People were pointing at the Yang family when they went out. The whole family was so angry that they exploded."
"Of course, no matter how angry the Yang family is, they actually consider their two grandchildren and want to save some face for them. But those who don't deal with the Qin family will not miss this opportunity. They keep exerting force behind their backs and cannot force them for the time being. To disturb the Qin family's righteousness and destroy their relatives, we have no choice but to start from the Yang family."
Bai Linglong understood and sneered: "She deserves it. If you cheat on others, you will have to bear the consequences."
Bai Narcissus was unusually calm when he heard these things, and interjected: "Xiao Song, Bai Jianren is only temporarily placed on leave. Doesn't his work have any impact?"
"He is deeply involved with the Qin family, and the Qin family is trying to protect him." Song Tao told the truth.
"It seems that he is the most loyal dog of the Qin family."
Bai Narcissus' voice was neither loud nor quiet, enough for them to hear clearly.
She didn't know what she was thinking of, and there was a sarcastic smile on her lips: "The only thing he can do is make money. He regards wealth as life, and money is more important than life. He is greedy and has no sense." Bottom line, when it comes to making money, he is someone who will not let go of even a mosquito. This is his fatal weakness. If a leader wants to touch him, he can start from this aspect."
They have focused on investigating Bai Jianren these two days, and the results of the investigation are consistent with what she said.
Lu Jingchuan glanced at Bai Linglong and said to her: "Auntie, Bai Jianren must be dealt with carefully and he cannot be allowed to affect Linglong's future."
Seeing that he was thinking deeply about his daughter's future, Bai Narcissus looked at him with more satisfaction. She moved her neck slightly to look at her daughter, and said to her: "Linglong, he will not affect you, he is not worthy of becoming A stumbling block in your life.”
Bai Linglong frowned, not understanding the meaning of her words, and asked bluntly: "Mom, what do you mean by this?"
"He is not your biological father."
Bai Narcissus didn't want to tell anyone in front of outsiders, but sooner or later her daughter's life experience would have to be revealed, and there was no difference between telling her now and later.
