Chapter 994: Chapter 996 Developnt Outward (6) Chapter 994: Chapter 996 Developnt Outward (6) How should I put this, she watched as Cai Yiren’s mother seed to be talking to her uncle, the two of them standing quite close to each other, so near that their proximity could be described as “within arm’s reach”. It looked like they had reached a particularly urgent part of their conversation, as Cai Yiren’s mother was anxiously crying.
Here cos the drama!
Her uncle took a handkerchief from his pocket, but rather than handing it to Cai Yiren’s mother, he stepped in and wiped away her tears himself.
Such an act would generally be reserved for lovers, spouses, or parent and child; even siblings behaving this way would seem excessively intimate, let alone cousins. And by Cai Yiren’s mother’s account, this uncle was rely a distant relative, possibly beyond the scope of five degrees of kindred, reflecting an even more distant cousin relationship.
Was such behavior appropriate?
Although afterwards, other than wiping away her tears, they engaged in no further intimate actions, this gesture alone was enough to captivate onlookers.
Thinking back on it now, when Cai Yiren’s mother ca to their house, she was a single mother. She ca to work alone first, and then, when the situation beca a bit more stable, she brought Cai Yiren over. Many years later, this uncle arrived in Yan City. And based on the few encounters they had had in the past, she noted that Cai Yiren’s mother was rather cold towards him at first, even after joining the Bai Family, their relationship remained quite distant. It was said that this uncle started off as an insignificant thug, his deanor rough around the edges.
To outsiders, they were just ordinary, distant relatives. Later it was heard that he joined the Bai Family, though initially in a position not too high-ranking. It was probably these five years abroad that allowed him to steadily climb the ranks from the bottom.
Although she wasn’t clear about the current state of the Bai Family, it seed that this uncle was held in high regard. Previously, when Bai Weiyi cried and made a fuss, Cai Yiren’s mother even comforted him, suggesting that the uncle would take him out to play. Cai Yiren seed to trust this uncle quite a bit as well.
Cai Yiren’s mother had been working in the Bai Family for a long ti, as Bai Changyou’s right-hand, and even after being promoted from secretary to Madam Bai, she took so ti off to give birth to a child. She was no longer in charge of the major projects, but she still had to go to work. What was she and her uncle doing in the hospital at this ti?
I always had the feeling that there might be sothing requiring special attention.
“Miss Lu? Miss Lu?” Beside her, Zhao Zihuan called her a few tis, bringing Lu Weixi back to reality. She turned to look at him and, feeling sowhat embarrassed, smiled apologetically, “Sorry. I was just thinking about sothing and got distracted.”
Actually, Zhao Zihuan had also witnessed Cai Yiren’s mother upstairs. He might not recognize Cai Yiren’s uncle, but he did see their intimate actions. It was clear that Wei Hui’s relationship with her stepmother was not so good; when Lu’s mother beca ill, that family even kicked her while she was down.
Even though he knew about it, he pretended not to, and said earnestly, “Originally, Lu’s aunt needed to schedule another radiotherapy session, but considering her recent fluctuations in health, and since radiotherapy can significantly affect a person’s physical condition, if her state doesn’t improve, I suggest conservative treatnt. If the targeted dication still works, we should continue to focus on it.”
Lu Weixi nodded, gazing in the direction of the pair, “Thank you. Doctor Zhao, I trust your dical skills. Arrange it as you suggest.”
Zhao Zihuan did not keep her any longer, watching her as she hurriedly descended the stairs and made her way toward Cai Yiren’s mother’s direction.
