Chapter 174: Chapter 114-115:
"Are you really going to fuss like this?" Ye Xuan rubbed Luo Ye’s head. "Don’t be so dramatic with me, and don’t even think about running away. After we’re done with your dad’s business, you still need to continue helping Brother Ye. Is that okay?"
"Okay!" Luo Ye nodded her head with tears in her eyes, sighing to herself. Why didn’t she encounter so many helpful people in her previous life? Fate really likes to play tricks on people.
...
As soon as Ye Xuan’s car stopped in front of the Luo Family building, an emergency call came in. After answering the phone, he apologetically patted Luo Ye’s head, "Ye’er, I have something to take care of and won’t be coming up. Please send my regards to Grandpa and your uncles and aunts."
"Sure." Luo Ye cheerfully hopped into the building, while Ye Xuan’s lips unconsciously curled upwards. He started the car, turned around, and drove into the vast night.
"Dad, Mom, I’m back." Luo Ye entered the house to find Luo Zhenggang and Wen Xin chatting in the living room, Luo Zhenggang’s face looking a bit unwell.
"Has Ye left?" Luo Zhenggang strained a smile.
"Yeah, he received a call about an emergency and couldn’t come up. He asked me to send his regards." Luo Ye sat next to Luo Zhenggang, wrapping her arm around her dad’s. "Where’s Grandpa and brother?"
"Grandpa went to Grandpa Song’s place, and your brother called saying he won’t come back tonight, he’s staying at school to attend an event." Wen Xin poured a glass of juice for her daughter. "The food outside is too greasy."
"Thanks, Mom." After gulping down the juice, Luo Ye wiped her mouth. "I was so thirsty. By the way, Dad, what’s the matter? You look unhappy?"
"It’s nothing serious. I will no longer be in charge of the new urban district project I was responsible for. I’m just a bit sad about letting go of something I’ve poured so much effort into." Luo Zhenggang didn’t intend to keep this from his daughter; after talking with Jiang Zheng, he realized that he still wasn’t understanding and trusting enough of her.
"Who is taking over?" Understanding dawned on Luo Ye quickly; Liu Zhengxing had found his new scapegoat.
"Your Uncle Song." Luo Zhenggang gave a wry smile. "Uncle Song is now the Deputy Mayor in charge of construction. The official document came directly from the lower authorities today, stating that the new urban district project will be overseen by him."
A scheme to sow discord!
This was definitely Liu Zhengxing’s tactic, but he never expected that the relationship between her dad and Uncle Song couldn’t be so easily undermined, right?
As father and daughter were talking, Song Fangzheng arrived and took Luo Zhenggang to the study room. Wen Xin let out a soft sigh, "I can’t be of any help, I’m the least useful."
Luo Ye cuddled her mom, acting coquettishly, "Mom, what are you talking about? You manage all our food, clothing, living, and transportation, how can you say you can’t help? Mom’s role is the most important!"
"Any housekeeper could handle those things."
"Is that the same thing?" Luo Ye held Wen Xin’s face, shaking it gently. "Mom, if Dad is the beam, then Mom is the purlin; we can’t do without either one!"
"Alright, Ye’er, you always sweet-talk." Wen Xin hugged her daughter, hesitating slightly. "Let’s go back to see Grandma, Grandpa, your eldest uncle, and your younger uncle in the middle of the month, okay?"
"Mom, have you come around?" Luo Ye looked at Wen Xin with surprise.
"Actually, I’ve let it go a long time ago. I’ve just not been visiting because your dad didn’t want your grandpa to think I recognized him for exploitation. Your dad told me that his career is at a critical point where he’s not advancing, he’s retreating. Mom isn’t a fool; looking at the people coming and going recently, I can guess there’s a crisis. I originally thought about visiting Grandma and Grandpa after things settled down, but I suddenly realized something today. As a family, why bother with so many concerns? If something really happened, wouldn’t we regret it for a lifetime?"
"Mom is right, what really counts as using someone and what doesn’t? Some things can never be made clear." Ye’er lowered her eyes, wondering if her mother had done the same in her previous life, perhaps things would have been different?
A sudden jolt in her heart, why always dwell on the past life? This life has its own beauty, the heavens have been kind to her, she should appreciate it!
...
Inside the luxurious VIP room at the seaside.
Ye Xuan sat on the sofa, looking indifferently at Qi Bin and Qi Qianqian sitting opposite: "Aren’t you bored? Just to get me to come over, you pick a fight with some hooligans?"
"Brother Ye Xuan, if it weren’t for that, you wouldn’t have come." Qi Qianqian pouted: "You’ve never taken me out for a meal alone."
"You can eat by yourself just fine." Ye Xuan glanced at Qi Bin: "Ever heard of the boy who cried wolf?"
"Ye Xuan, you know what my sister is like, I was really forced." Qi Bin showed helplessness, all he did was mutter, "Ye Xuan actually left?" never expecting that the young lady’s ears were so keen, hearing it clear as day.
She insisted on getting a clear answer, then huffed off to drink at a beer stall, and then he was forced to trick Ye Xuan into coming over.
Alright, he admitted, he was also very curious about Ye Xuan’s fiancée-to-be. This buddy was always so lofty; countless well-matched suitors might as well beat a path to his door, but he always refused outright.
When the guys went out to play, as for those women who threw themselves at them, he never gave them a glance, didn’t touch them; because of that, all his buddies suspected this guy either had a problem or planned on being single for life. The cliché possibility of being hurt by a woman simply didn’t exist.
Everyone knows the little tricks his sister plays, but Ye Xuan, considering that he and I are buddies, has never turned a cold face to her.
"Brother Ye Xuan, I mean no offense, I just want to ask, do you really have a fiancée now?" Qi Qianqian looked at Ye Xuan with a pitiful gaze, she and Qi Bin looked very similar, with her curvy figure and enticingly pretty face, she was the kind of woman that could make a man fall for her at first sight.
"Yes." Ye Xuan nodded affirmatively.
"But how come I don’t know?" Qi Qianqian looked incredulous.
"Why do you need to know?" Ye Xuan stood up: "You siblings talk, I have something to do, I’m leaving." Without waiting for the siblings to say anything, he strode with his long legs and reached the door.
After seeing off Ye Xuan, Qi Qianqian watched her brother with an unwilling expression: "Brother, is Ye’er prettier than me?"
"Qianqian, you should be clear about Ye Xuan’s temperament; it’s not about who is prettier. If he truly fancies someone, no one can interfere," Qi Bin said, shaking his head involuntarily: "Ye’er seems too young, wearing a high school uniform, how could Ye Xuan fall for that!"
Qi Qianqian’s eyes darted around: "Which high school?"
"What are you planning to do?" Qi Bin warned his sister: "Despicable tactics shouldn’t be used by you."
Qi Qianqian rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction: "You underestimate me too much, I just want to see what Ye’er looks like, to weigh if I still stand a chance or not."
