Chapter 187 - 187 Kinship
They were two men and two women, who were accompanied by a group of supporters.
They walked in with their heads held high.
Upon seeing familiar faces, Lu Yang narrowed her eyes slightly.
Qin Yitan cursed inwardly and then looked up to see Lu Yang with her hair in a fishtail braid. His eyes instantly lit up.
It seemed like someone whispered in his ear, “Hey, your love has come to greet you.”
Qin Yitan became infatuated and confused.
He was immersed in a world where he couldn’t extricate himself.
Lu Yang’s gaze lightly swept over the group of people. She remained silent and stood quietly on the side. Lu Mingyu handed her a chestnut he had peeled, saying, “Lu Yang, have some chestnuts.”
Lu Yang replied, “Okay.”
Yin Hua was focused on examining a patient’s tongue and was completely unaffected by the presence of others.
There were rumors online spreading that Lu Mingyu must have done something wrong and ran away overnight with Lu Yang. The clarification was merely a temporary measure to buy time. They were referred to as “National Treasure Siblings,” but in fact, they were just a couple of siblings with incestuous feelings!
Opinions were divided, but no one would think that Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu lived peacefully here, isolated from the world. Lin Xinmeng and Zhou Moli were surprised.
Qin Yitan couldn’t extricate himself.
Only Wen Jian’s gaze lingered on Lu Yang. Within a one-meter radius centered of her, she scanned twice but found no one. Her gaze dimmed slightly as she asked, “Lu Yang, Lu Mingyu, are you here to seek medical treatment?”
Lu Yang replied, “No. This is our home.”
Wen Jian pondered for a moment and then realized as he followed Lu Yang’s gaze, “We are shooting a variety show nearby, and someone suggested Qin
Yitan come here to check his brain.”
The eyes of passersby were sharp and noticed that Qin Yitan had a problem with his head.
Wen Jian had been nodding, agreeing with them the whole time.
As the conversation ended, the director of the variety show approached with a friendly smile and politely asked Yin Hua, “Hello, we are a program crew shooting a variety show nearby. We would like to know if we can use this place as a shooting location?”
The layout here had a retro style, with medicinal herbs visible everywhere, quite different from the outside environment. It might be able to create a different atmosphere for filming.
“If we use this place for shooting, we will definitely compensate you with a
sum of money. As for the price, we can negotiate.”
Yinu Ha had a smiling face, as warm as a spring breeze. With a touch of charm in her eyes, she replied with a gentle tone, “If you are here for medical treatment, please wait in line. If not, please turn right and leave. This place is small and cannot accommodate so many people.”
The director stammered, still wanting to struggle, “No… I…”
Yin Hua glanced at Lu Mingyu and spoke in a tone that brooked no dissent. “Mingyu, escort them out.”
Lu Mingyu nodded and handed the chestnuts he was holding to Lu Yang. He then stepped forward, stood in front of Yin Hua, lowered his head, and adopted a cold and unapproachable posture. “Why aren’t you leaving?”
The director instantly wilted.
Appealing didn’t work, and with Lu Mingyu, the threats wouldn’t work either.
“Lu Yang.” Wen Jian stared at the food in Lu Yang’s hand and suddenly asked,
“Have you been to the West Huai Music Festival?”
Lu Yang replied, “No.”
Wen Jian continued, “A few days ago, while I was going through Twitter, I found an old photo that resembled you a bit, so I wanted to ask.”
Lu Yang remembered the posts from Wen Jian’s secondary account. It was messy and unrestrained, like an outlet for emotions.
She was a completely “live strong” and “enjoy the show” kind of person in life.
Lu Yang handed a small bag of chestnuts on the table to Wen Jian and said, “I’ll give you these chestnuts. Can you send me the photo to have a look?”
“No problem!” Wen Jian took it, but then said, “But I’ll have to look for the photo. I have too many photos, so it might take a while.”
“I’ll leave now. I’ll send you the photo later.”
When Wen Jian saw the main group leaving, she didn’t linger any longer. She lightly tapped Qin Yitan’s arm, not in a good mood, and said, “Let’s go, what are you staring at? It’s not yours to look at anyway.”
Qin Yitan snapped out of his own fantasy, waved goodbye to Lu Yang, and said, “Lu Yang, we’ll meet again!”
“What a dumb guy!” Wen Jian mused.
Just as a group of people left, Jiang Yanzhou came out with a box of medicinal herbs.
When Lu Yang saw him, she reached out and took the herbs, handing them to a little girl sitting beside her peeling chestnuts. Her voice was gentle, “Little girl, here are your herbs.”
The little girl smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Lu Yang ruffled her hair and smiled, “You’re welcome.”
The little girl asked, “Sister, can I take the chestnuts home for my mom and brother?”
Lu Yang nodded, “Of course, you can.”
Lu Mingyu didn’t have a good expression as he saw the visitors off and then saw Jiang Yanzhou. He complained, “You’re so slow that you missed a good show.”
Jiang Yanzhou looked away and asked, “What show?”
“Just now, a group of people shooting a variety show came to our door. Qin Yitan and Zhou Moli came up and said they wanted to use our place as a filming location. Isn’t that ridiculous?” Lu Mingyu elaborated.
Meeting Jiang Yanzhou’s gaze, Lu Yang summed it up concisely, “No trouble happened. ”
“Mingyu, can you take Xiao Li home?” Lu Yang looked at Lu Mingyu. “She’ll be unsafe on her own.”
“Sure.” Lu Mingyu readily agreed. “Let’s go, Xiao Li.”
“Okay!” Xiao Li sweetly chirped.
Lu Yang blinked her eyelashes and suddenly said, “Yanzhou, go with Mingyu. It’s a good opportunity to go out.”
Her gaze was clear, and Jiang Yanzhou didn’t refuse. “Okay. I’ll wait for you to come back.”
“Wait for me to come back? No, wait for us to come back!” Lu Mingyu shouted, “All right, let’s go. It’s getting dark if you keep dawdling. Lu Yang, Grandma, we’ll be back soon. Don’t miss us too much.”
Yin Hua looked up at him and spoke with a pleasant voice, “Go and come back early.”
Leaving the house, Lu Mingyu opened the passenger door and let Xiao Li get in the car. With a quick turn, he saw Jiang Yanzhou sitting in the back seat.
Lu Mingyu was rendered speechless.
If it weren’t for Jiang Yanzhou’s weak and precarious appearance, Lu Mingyu
would have forcibly dragged him out.
Lu Mingyu got in the car, occasionally glancing at Jiang Yanzhou in the back seat, and asked, “You slept in the car last night, didn’t you? Didn’t you steal a car overnight?”
Jiang Yanzhou was confused.
Lu Mingyu: “You look like you didn’t sleep all night. Quick. Tell me if you secretly went five kilometers away to practice driving a tractor?”
Jiang Yanzhou was at a loss for words.
Lu Mingyu glanced at Xiao Li and thought of Jiang Jinshi, so he questioned, “Since that brat isn’t your son, how’s your illness?”
“What illness?”
Xiao Li was present, so it wasn’t convenient to be direct. Lu Mingyu changed his description, “It’s about whether you’ll have a disease that prevents you from having an adorable daughter like Xiao Li in the future!”
Jiang Yanzhou was utterly baffled.
Lu Mingyu and Jiang Yanzhou left, and Lu Yang washed her hands and continued to see patients with Yin Hua.
After a busy period, Yin Hua glanced at Lu Yang, who was looking at medical records, when they had some free time to rest. She asked in a naturally concerned tone, “Lu Yang, what’s your relationship with Jiang Yanzhou?”
Lu Yang’s hand paused, and she turned to look at Yin Hua. After a moment of eye contact, Yin Hua smiled and said, “I can see it.”
Lu Mingyu was carefree and broad-minded, but Yin Hua was even more perceptive than Lu Yang. Besides, Jiang Yanzhou was so obvious that she couldn’t possibly notice.
“Grandma…”
“Love that isn’t expressed is useless.” Yin Hua lowered her eyes, picked up a handful of dried herbs, and sniffed them. “Has my Lu Yang taken him as a brother?”
“A brother…?” Lu Yang was a bit confused.
She had never thought about this question.
Jiang Yanzhou and Lu Mingyu did have some similarities, and they could both make her happy, but… they were still different.
“Do you know how their feelings for you are different, Lu Yang?” Yinhua asked after a moment of silence.
After a brief silence, Lu Yang answered, “I know.”
Lu Mingyu treated her like a child who needed constant care in his eyes.
He would always protect her and be there for her.
However, Jiang Yanzhou saw her as an independent adult.
Lu Yang wasn’t sure what exactly she meant to him.
He had too many words to describe her.
She couldn’t count them all.
“Family affection is specific, while love is abstract, ” she thought.
“But…”
Lu Yang looked at Yin Hua. Her eyes were filled with confusion and asked, “Grandma, why do you like Jiang Yanzhou? You only just met him recently, didn’t you?”
At her words, Yin Hua chuckled silently..
