Chapter 142 Proud of My Dad

Lu Yuanqiu nodded, grabbed her hand tightly, and said softly: "Don't talk, don't talk, okay, okay, don't worry, let's not rush, just listen to me first..."

He noticed that Bai Qingxia's arms were also shaking violently.

Lu Yuanqiu looked at her, took a deep breath, and spoke seriously: "Bai Qingxia, listen carefully to what I am going to say next. My uncles know your father. Your father is the founder of the Baixi brand. Baixi instant noodles are the result of his hard work when he was young, but for some reason, this brand no longer belongs to him."

The girl stared into the boy's eyes, their hands tightly clasped. Her tear-soaked eyes showed a hint of confusion and surprise.

Lu Yuanqiu knew that Bai Qingxia had no idea what her father did when he was young. She only knew that her father used to be a boss.

Just like the group of neighbors living in Guihua Lane, they only knew that Bai Songzhe was once a boss, but they were not clear about the relationship between Bai Songzhe and the Baixi brand.

Bai Qingxia looked at him in surprise, speechless.

Lu Yuanqiu continued, "My dad also knew about this, but he didn't expect Uncle Bai to have such a big reaction when he saw the instant noodles. Although my dad didn't mean to do it, it's his fault, not yours or Uncle Bai's. Uncle Bai must have been thinking of the painful memories that once made him sad. He's so sad, how could he be wrong?"

The girl lowered her eyes, gasping for breath, tears continuing to fall, as if she was digesting the whole thing.

Lu Yuanqiu wanted to touch her head, but when he let go of one hand, the girl panicked for a moment. She quickly raised her eyes and stared at Lu Yuanqiu's hand. It was not until the hand slowly moved to the top of her head that she looked back at Lu Yuanqiu's face.

The boy smiled at her and said, "Now that you know this, do you understand the cause and effect?"

He gently stroked Bai Qingxia's head and said, "Your father has never mentioned these to you. Don't think too much. I was also confused before, but today I seem to suddenly understand."

Seeing the girl looking at him with red eyes, Lu Yuanqiu patiently explained: "I think Uncle Bai may not want you to be like him. When you see Baixi instant noodles, you only feel unwillingness, hatred, and anger, because that is the career he once loved and his hard work. He has not had the chance to show off his success and Baixi to his daughter. How can he let his daughter hate the Baixi brand from the beginning?"

"That's his brand. He might be thinking about making a comeback in the future. So when you heard about this brand for the first time from him, you would feel pure pride. You would be completely proud of your father."

After Lu Yuanqiu finished speaking, he looked at the pink hairpin on the girl's head and sighed silently.

Just then, a snoring sound was heard nearby.

The two turned their heads and found Bai Songzhe sleeping against the table.

"You sit here for a while, I'll go out and take a look."

After Lu Yuanqiu finished speaking, he stood up, but his hand was still tightly held by Bai Qingxia. She looked up, and after she came to her senses, she slowly loosened her fingers and clenched them on her leg.

Lu Yuanqiu then walked out of the warehouse. At this moment, his father was sweeping the instant noodle crumbs on the ground with a broom.

Seeing Lu Yuanqiu coming out, he quickly looked up and asked, "What's going on?"

"Uncle Bai fell asleep. I told Bai Qingxia about the white rhino."

After hearing this, Lu Tian sighed and said, "I didn't expect him to have such a big reaction when he saw instant noodles. What do you think..."

At this point, Lu Yuanqiu suddenly looked at his father's face in surprise: "I'll go."

He looked back to prevent Bai Qingxia from hearing, and quickly pulled Lu Tian to the side, saying, "Why is your face so swollen?"

"Ah?" Lu Tian didn't know yet, so he quickly took a mirror from the cashier counter and looked at his face. Only then did he see a red five-finger mark on his right cheek, and his cheek was bulging.

"It's okay, it's okay, just use some ice to reduce the swelling." Lu Tian said casually, but he felt like crying in his heart.

Lu Yuanqiu: "You should go home first. It's better not to come to the supermarket these few nights." Hearing his son's words, Lu Tian also understood what he meant. He nodded and picked up his coat from the chair. He glanced at the door of the warehouse and said to Lu Yuanqiu: "Comfort her well, alas..."

After his father left, Lu Yuanqiu went to get some Band-Aids and then walked into the warehouse.

Bai Qingxia was carefully wiping the blood off her father's hands with toilet paper. When she saw Lu Yuanqiu come in, she raised her head.

Lu Yuanqiu smiled and wiped her lower eye sockets with his thumb, complaining: "Don't forget to wipe your own tears when you wipe your father's fingers, there are a lot of them."

Bai Qingxia obediently raised her arm and wiped her face twice with her sleeve.

She then looked at the stack of Band-Aids in Lu Yuanqiu's hand, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Lu Yuanqiu said directly: "Pay the money for the band-aids later and put it in the cashier's drawer."

The girl nodded immediately: "Okay."

She took the Band-Aid and bandaged her father's injured finger on his left hand, while Lu Yuanqiu bandaged his right hand.

During the process, Bai Qingxia suddenly asked in confusion: "Why... my father is the founder, but the company doesn't belong to him anymore? Did he do something wrong?"

Lu Yuanqiu looked up when he heard that, and the girl also raised her eyes.

She will still care about this issue after all.

Lu Yuanqiu looked away somewhat unnaturally: "This..."

Definitely not able to say.

Although the girl looks weak, she actually has a strong side. Lu Yuanqiu doesn't want her to know these things for the time being.

“I don’t really understand this aspect either…”

Lu Yuanqiu, who always liked to make up stories, couldn't make up stories at this moment. Although he didn't want Bai Qingxia to know the real reason, he also didn't want Bai Qingxia to misunderstand that there was something wrong with his father.

After all, she went bankrupt personally, but her company and brand are still standing. The only apparent reason is that her father had problems and was kicked out.

Fortunately, the girl only raised an immediate question and did not delve into it further.

"Let your dad sleep here for a while. You stay here with him and go back when the time comes."

The girl nodded, not being polite in this regard.

Lu Yuanqiu left the warehouse. On the way, he saw Bai Qingxia coming out and put the money for the Band-Aid in the drawer of the cash register.

Although she had not been working for long, she had already memorized the price of every item in the supermarket, which surprised Lu Yuanqiu and Lu Tian.

At 10:30 in the evening, Bai Qingxia woke up her father. After a nap, Bai Songzhe seemed to have forgotten what happened before and became his original silly self again.

Looking at the girl walking out of the supermarket with her father, Lu Yuanqiu took off his vest and said, "I'll take you home."
