Back To The 80s-Chapter 602 - 595: Making a Move_1

When Bai Mingzhu brought a young woman in her early twenties to the courtyard, Gu Xiaobei was truly dumbfounded. He instantly felt that Bai Mingzhu was getting herself into deeper trouble.

However, Gu Xiaobei found this young woman familiar. She looked a lot like Luo Fei, who had visited their house before, especially when she grinned, featuring her deep dimples on her cheeks.

Seeing everyone’s surprised expressions, Bai Mingzhu introduced, "This is Luo Dan, the daughter of Luo Jingnian, the chief director of the general political department."

Lu Songyuan, of course, recognized Luo Jingnian. Luo Jingnian, who had studied abroad in F Country in his early years and joined the revolution upon returning to the country, was a man of strategy and courage. Even during the chaotic decade, he was always protected by the prime minister.

Luo Jingnian had four children. His eldest son, Luo Zhan, had fought in the Vietnam War and was a decorated soldier who willingly chose to guard the border post.

The second child, Luo Fei, is said to have married someone from the military.

The third child, Luo Sen, was a good friend of Lu Aiguo and was also in business.

Luo Dan should be the youngest daughter. Apparently, she was a dancer in the art troupe. But what he couldn’t understand was why she came with Bai Mingzhu?

Bai Mingzhu ignored Lu Songyuan’s probing gaze and smiled like a flower: "Luo Dan, we will all be relatives from now on. This is the in-laws of Qi family’s cousin. If there’s anything you need in the future, just come to them. You are new here after all."

Luo Dan greeted Lu Songyuan and Wen Xiuqing with a smile, her dimples deepening. "Uncle, Auntie, I’ll be in your care."

Gu Xiaobei was completely dazed, staring at Luo Dan. Was she trying to challenge Cheng Qijia right away? Given Luo Dan’s family background, shouldn’t have she been more cautious coming here?

Bai Xiaolan, who knew Luo Dan from school, was taken aback. Luo Dan was indeed a school belle back then, adored and chased by many boys. How did she end up being associated with her elder aunt?

Wen Xiuqing was also confused, but they had to entertain their guest, so she called Gu Xiaobei to help her cook.

Once they entered the kitchen, Wen Xiuqing said quietly to Gu Xiaobei, "If the Qi family comes later, will there be another commotion?"

Gu Xiaobei also sighed, "Who knows what big aunt is thinking, if the Qi family gets angry again, there will be no room left for any reconciliation between mother and son."

"Right, I don’t understand why this girl would follow along so easily."

When Cheng’s family arrived, seeing Luo Dan, their faces darkened. Holding back their anger, they managed not to walk out right away.

Luo Dan greeted them with a smile: "Qi Family, long time no see."

The usual warm smile was absent from Cheng’s face. Ignoring Luo Dan, they went straight under the grapevine to take a seat.

Luo Dan felt slightly awkward. Whom had she offended?

Bai Mingzhu said with a laugh, "Qi Family, this is Luo Dan, she was in your class, remember?"

Cheng didn’t react, instead focused on playing with Doudou, who was standing next to them.

How Bai Mingzhu resented that! Many people coveted Luo’s family background. According to official ranks, Luo’s family was considered high-ranked in Capital City.

During dinner, Bai Mingzhu couldn’t hold back any longer and said, "Qi Family, you and Luo Dan are both single and not far apart in age. You knew each other before. You should talk more often."

All the people present were shocked by Bai Mingzhu’s words. They almost dropped their chopsticks.

Cheng spoke with an unpleasant tone to Bai Mingzhu: "Mom, have you forgotten? I’ve already submitted my marriage report. How could I be single? If He Qin hears this, she will think too much."

Bai Mingzhu slammed down her chopsticks and exclaimed: "Are you telling me you two still not broken up? You’re trying to piss me off, aren’t you?"

Cheng lashed out at Luo Dan uncontrollably: "Luo Dan, I’ve told you before, I don’t like you. Why are you still stirring up trouble here with my mother? Do you think it’s interesting?"

Luo Dan stared wide-eyed in surprise. After Cheng’s outburst, she slammed her hand on the table and said angrily, "Cheng Qi Family, don’t overthink. You think I came just for you? I, Luo Dan, am not that cheap. I only said I liked you when I was naive. After you rejected me, how could I have the gall to kneel and beg you?"

She then turned to Bai Mingzhu and said, "Aunt, I came to the provincial city to visit my sister-in-law. You knew about this. You said you were afraid I wouldn’t find the way, so you waited for Cheng to come and take me there. I thought you were being kind, but I didn’t expect you to be waiting here for this. How do you see me? Do you think I can’t get married, so you wanted to trap me in this way?"

After Luo Dan finished speaking, her face turned red with anger. She picked up her luggage and prepared to leave. She’s really angry at Bai Mingzhu. Bai Mingzhu said she was too old to carry the luggage, so she kindly offered to bring her. Bai Mingzhu insisted on thanking her for this, letting her eat here and Cheng would take her to the destination afterwards, or else as a girl, she wouldn’t know her way.

Why did she say they were relatives? Because Luo Dan’s second brother, Luo Sen, was married to Jiang Xiaowan, the younger sister of Cheng’s family, tying their families together. Luo Dan didn’t think much about it at the time. Now that she thinks about it, she’s almost sick with rage.

Cheng didn’t expect such a misunderstanding, and after giving Bai Mingzhu a deep look, he followed Luo Dan out.

Bai Xiaolan, seeing Cheng pursuing Luo Dan out the door, gloated and said, "Dear aunt, if my cousin becomes a monk, don’t regret it."

Bai Mingzhu was still processing the situation, not knowing what to do. Luo Dan had been laughing and cheerful all the way. How could she react so dramatically?

Bai Xiaolan continued to fan the flames, "Dear aunt, you’re getting more and more unreliable these days. And you’re doing matchmaking like this? You really open our eyes."

Blushing, Bai Mingzhu retorted: "You talk too much."

Bai Xiaolan continued, "Dear aunt, you are not the one who’s going to spend the rest of your life with my cousin, it’s his wife. You just keep on with your meddling. My cousin might as well stay single. When he gets old, he’ll have no one who cares about him. He could just sit in the sun against the south wall. It’s also nice." After finishing, she didn’t look at Bai Mingzhu whose face had turned black, and just kept on eating.

Fuming, Luo Dan grabbed her bag and stormed out, followed by Cheng who said awkwardly, "Luo Dan, I’m sorry, I was a bit brash just now."

Luo Dan glared at Cheng and said, "Take me to the provincial army command college community." In her eyes, since she didn’t know the way, she might as well use Cheng.

Cheng stunned for a moment, "Your elder brother is back?"

"I don’t know. Just hurry up!" Luo Dan didn’t want to waste time talking to him.

Cheng sighed. He was increasingly losing his temper under Bai Mingzhu’s torment.

Upon arriving at the community, Luo Dan glared at Cheng while knocking gently on the door with one finger.

The door opened to reveal a tall figure. Despite being in his early thirties, his temples were graying. He glanced at Luo Dan and whispered softly: "Your sister-in-law just went to sleep. Go to the guesthouse and come back later tonight." Before Luo Dan could respond, he gently closed the door again.
