Bai Mengfei was really tired of staying at home these days. She thought about how Old Master Shao was looking for her and she hadn't gone yet. No matter what, she still had to visit the old man. They only met on the night of the 30th. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she was supposed to go down to pay a New Year's visit, but Bai Mengfei had diarrhea, so she did not go down. On the morning of the eighth day, Shao Yang came up and said that the old man was looking for her.
It was already the tenth day of the month. If she didn't go now, the old man would lose his temper. Bai Mengfei packed her things and dressed herself up. She felt good about herself. She was a beautiful woman with long flowing hair, a high-collared sweater, a beige mid-length trench coat, a pair of simple black tights, and a pair of long boots. This combination made her look pure and beautiful, and she did not lose her ladylike demeanor. After packing up, Bai Mengfei went downstairs to the Shao family's house.
Old Master Shao was the only one at home today. Shao Yang had gone out to meet his classmates. Shao Kang and Li Ping had gone to work. Civil servants had no choice but to go to work on the eighth day of the lunar new year. Moreover, the media was watching closely now. If you were exposed, it would be very disadvantageous to those who wanted to climb up the ladder. At this time, everyone was watching. No one dared to be late on the first day of work, leave early, or not go to work.
Although no one went to check on Shao Kang's work, he was still the leader of the province. He had to check on work, arrange work, and have meetings all day long. Shao Kang felt annoyed at times. When could he be like Bai Junfeng? When he had nothing to do, he would hand over the matters of the restaurant to his son and take his wife on a sightseeing trip. He envied Bai Junfeng, but Bai Junfeng envied him.
He really didn't know who was envious of whom. It was just like how people who walked envied those who rode bicycles, those who rode bicycles envied those who drove cars, those who drove cars envied those who drove BMP-Benz cars, and those who drove BMP-Benz cars envied walking. Everyone had their own hobbies. As long as they found their own position, it would be fine. But now, many people often couldn't find their own position, which was very troublesome.
"Grandpa, I came to see you. You're in good health! You're almost as good as a young man."
"You little girl, when did your mouth become so sweet? Grandpa, take a look and see if you applied honey in the morning.”
"Of course not. What he said was the truth! Why, are you not happy?"
"I'm happy. How can I not be happy? With a happy person like you around, how can I not be happy? If she marries into our family in a few years, I'll be even happier to be my granddaughter-in-law.”
"Is that so? Then can I get married now? Do you agree? As long as you're willing, I'll tell my parents tonight. I'll move into your house tomorrow. Is that okay?"
"You little girl, am I serious?”Bai Mengfei knew what Old Master was going to say. All these years, the old man had treated her like a granddaughter. He had left all the good food and drinks for her. She did not want to hurt the old man's heart, but there was nothing she could do. She and Shao Yang could not get together, so she could only joke with the old man. Old Master Shao pointed at Bai Mengfei's head. He smiled happily.
"Little girl, take a look at this." The old man took out a box from somewhere.
"Grandpa, is this a magic trick? Even a magician isn't as awesome as you! What? Let me show you."
"This is for you. Your third aunt brought this back from America some time ago. It's for me. I can't eat much. During the new year, a friend brought some more. I'll give it to you. But don't let Shaoyang see that little greedy cat staring at my delicious food all day long.”
"American almond, that's great, Grandpa. I love you so much. I like to eat this, but you can't buy it in China. Even if you do, it's fake. The last time, my dad bought it for me when he took my mom on a trip. I'm so hungry.”
"You little gluttonous cat. I know you like it, so I saved it for you. School is about to start!" Bai Mengfei answered vaguely with an almond stuffed in her mouth.
"Soon, it's the tenth day of the month! We don't need to pack our things since we are close to each other. Our classmates are far away. We have to pack our things at the age of 14 and then squeeze into the train to come here. Sometimes, I feel very happy. Look, I have you elders to dote on me and my brothers to love me. Isn't that happy?”
"Yes, our Fei 'er is the happiest.”
"Grandpa, why did you call me here? Tell me quickly! In a while, I still have to go out and meet my friends.”
"I have nothing to do. I just asked you to come down and get the almonds. If I tell Shao Yang, will you still have anything to eat? He ate them all."
"He won't dare. Grandpa, if he dares to steal my food, I'll bite him. Let's see if he still dares. You have to support me. Although he's your grandson, you can't help reason but not your family!”
"I'm really impressed by the two of you."
"Hurry up and say it! Old Master, if you don't say anything, I'll leave. Don't regret it when the time comes! Even if I regret it, I can't take it back because it's already in my stomach.”
"You little girl, how can our Shao Yang be your opponent in the future? It seems that that kid has to cultivate well. Otherwise, such a wife will definitely kill him!”
"Grandpa, am I that fierce? You can't scare people! Then tell Shaoyang not to marry me, or he'll be in trouble. You must tell me!" Bai Mengfei made a face at Old Master Shao.
"You little girl, I wanted to ask you where your Teacher Ren Zhong's family is from and how many people there are in his family. Why do I feel that he's the descendant of an old friend of mine?”
"Grandpa, the old friend you're talking about can't be Brother Liu Qingyang, right?”
"You little girl, you guessed it. Why do you have this feeling too?"
"That's right! I used to have this feeling too. When I first met him, I almost thought that he was Brother Qingyang. I even tried to test him, but he denied it. I don't know anymore."
"Is that so? Then how did your brother know him? They seem to be very close!"
"Are you talking about my brother? Maybe they met when I was hospitalized last time. Grandpa, do you know? That Teacher Ren is the teacher who saved me at school last time. I think we might have met when my brother thanked him! But sometimes I find that they look quite similar.”
"Is that so? I didn't really look at him that night. Do you know this person? What kind of person was he? Can you tell Grandpa in detail?”
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? You can't really be suspecting that Ren Zhong is Brother Qingyang, right? If it was really him, why wouldn't he acknowledge us? Or had he been injured and lost his memory?”
"Memory loss."
"Yeah, it's often shown on TV. After some people are seriously injured, they will lose their memories for a period of time. Then, at a certain time, they will remember some things from the past. Do you think Ren Zhong is like this too?”
"Little girl, how would I know? I have to ask you!”
"Ask me, how would I know? Grandpa, although he is my teacher, we haven't had much contact. You don't know what kind of scandal will happen if you get close to that teacher in university now. He is a famous teacher in our school. Do you know what a famous teacher is? He was the kind of person who was especially talented, handsome, and very popular with girls. I'm just an ordinary student. I don't want to be famous and become the target of all the women in the school. However, I do know a little about him. As far as I know, he is not my Brother Qingyang.”
"Why would you say that?"
"I heard from my classmate that his family is overseas. He also has an older brother who is overseas. His parents were both working in a scientific research institute overseas. He grew up in his grandfather's house. His grandfather's house was in the northeast of China. After he grew up, he went to university and then went abroad to study for his postgraduate studies. I don't know why he went back to China. After he returned, he taught at a university in Beijing. I heard that he liked a teacher in our school, so he transferred to our school. There were also people who said that he was headhunted by our department head. He was classmates with our department head, so this is just a small matter. That's all I know."
"If he really came back from abroad, that would be great. But the problem is…Forget it, let's not talk about it. You can't tell anyone about what Grandpa asked you today, no matter who it is. "Did you hear that?" Bai Mengfei nodded vigorously.
She wondered what was wrong with her grandfather today. Why would he suddenly ask her about these inexplicable things? Could it be that what he suspected was true? Some of what she had said to her grandfather was true, and some of it was made up by herself. In fact, she had also heard it from her classmates. As for what exactly it was, no one knew.
Forget it, I'd better not go out. I'll stay at home and watch my idol's TV series, Sin Realm! Who was he going to find? He had originally wanted to go out to the school to look for Ren Zhong, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. He had never kept his mouth shut. If he were to say what his grandfather had said just now, wouldn't he be selling his grandfather? Bai Mengfei carried the big box of American almonds upstairs. Sitting at home, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She didn't even seem to be in the mood to watch her favorite idol. She thought for a moment and took out her phone to call her brother, Bai Shiqi.
"Brother, are you in the restaurant or the company? I want to ask you something."
"Wait a moment, I'll come out and find a place? The people in the restaurant are too noisy."
"Alright then!" After a while, Bai Shiqi's voice came from the microphone.
"Fei 'er, what's wrong? I'm listening."
"Brother, I feel very strange today. That day, Shao Yang came to tell me that the old man was looking for me, but I didn't take it seriously. This morning, I suddenly remembered and went. The old man first stuffed a box of American almonds into my hands, then sat there with me and intentionally or unintentionally pulled the parents over. In the end, it fell on Ren Zhong. Who was in his family? How did he come to our school? Wait."
"Then how did you answer?"
"What else can I say? Just tell the truth! I told the old man about the rumors among our classmates. However, I realized that the old master didn't seem to be satisfied. He asked me if I had realized that Ren Zhong resembled an old friend of his. At that time, I mentioned Brother Qingyang, so he asked me if I resembled him. I said that at the beginning, I felt that he was very similar, but later on, I didn't feel anything. He then asked me how much I knew about Ren Zhong. How would I know? He asked if Ren Zhong had much contact with them. I told him that he was a famous teacher in our school and that I didn't want to be the target of all the girls in the school. It was just that he happened to save me before. He even asked how you and Ren Zhong met. I said that you probably met him when I went to thank him after I was hospitalized! Anyway, I find it very strange. How is the old man all day long? Why would he ask me these questions? Could it be that he really suspects that Ren Zhong is Brother Qingyang? But this was impossible! If he is Brother Qingyang, why didn't he acknowledge us? Did he really suffer from amnesia? Brother, why do you think this is?"
"It's fine. Maybe the old master is bored at home! I just want you to chat with him. Perhaps he was also thinking about Liu Qingyang's family! After all, he and Liu Qingyang's grandfather were sworn brothers! Alright, it's fine now. Don't worry! I'm here for everything. Just rest at home! Prepare the things for the start of school. Isn't school starting in a few days?”
Bai Mengfei hung up the phone after saying that. She felt much better after telling her brother about it. However, Bai Shiqi's heart was pounding. He wanted to tell Ren Zhong about this. They had to think about how to resolve this matter. If the old man was suspicious, he would definitely get someone to investigate. If they found out, the consequences would be out of their control.
