Chapter 149: Chapter 102-103: Loss / Departure / Setback (Part 3)
Luo Ye stood up and locked the room door from inside, turned back, and looked at Luo Feng seriously: "Brother, you are not cold-blooded. I am really happy that you can believe me and do as I said.
Liang Jing pursuing you is a part of it, but another part is to harm our family for the sake of helping others. I originally didn’t want to tell you about this, but I don’t want you to blame yourself too much, so I decided to tell you the truth."
"Ye’er, what exactly is going on? Did you know about this from the beginning? Who wants to harm our family?" Luo Feng’s expression suddenly became tense.
"At first, I just had a very bad impression of her, extremely bad, and even dreamed that she harmed you at night. That’s why I forced you not to be with her.
It might sound incredible, but it has proven that my feeling was right. Uncle Jiang and Brother Ye came to our house not only for their mission, but also to help clear out some dangers around Dad. They found out that Liang Jing was hired to approach you and, at the right time, to act against our family.
Of course, I overheard this while getting up for water in the middle of the night; nobody dared to speak it out. Brother, you need not feel guilty; she brought it upon herself."
Luo Feng was silent for a long while before digesting the news, then grabbed Luo Ye’s arm anxiously: "Ye’er, do you know who wants to harm our family? What can we do?"
"Brother, trust that Dad and Uncle Jiang will handle these matters; you don’t need to worry." Choosing to tell her brother part of the truth was to prevent him from being spiritually shackled, but Luo Ye had not yet decided whether to involve him.
With Brother’s current ability, he couldn’t help much anyway. Moreover, Jiang Zheng promised her two capable personnel, presumably to protect her family. She would not reject this kindness as she really needed such talents now, and she believed that she could make them not treat her like a child, becoming her true support.
She has not yet told Jiang Zheng and Ye Xuan about Qian Mei, believing they would soon find out and perhaps then would believe more in her capabilities.
For her father and her family, she didn’t mind showing some of her extraordinary abilities. As for the reasons, if they could not be explained clearly, she would beat around the bush, assuming Jiang Zheng and Ye Xuan wouldn’t make things difficult for her.
However, Dad seemed to be in a bad mood today; had something happened? Should Liu Zhengxing lay low for a while?
"Ye’er! Ye’er!..."
Luo Ye smiled awkwardly: "Brother, I was just pondering things, hehe..."
Luo Feng fondly ruffled his sister’s head: "You always keep things mysterious, never mind, if you don’t say it, I won’t ask anymore. But remember, whenever you do anything, always call for your brother."
"No problem." Luo Ye’s eyes curved into crescents: "Brother, do you feel better now?"
Luo Feng nodded energetically: "Yes, much better!"
"Knowing that Liang Jing doesn’t love you wholeheartedly, isn’t there a bit of disappointment?" Mou Ye started to stir up mischief again.
"Not at all, I’m actually glad it’s this way. Otherwise, if I had to choose between you and her in the future, it would be me who suffers. This is a happy ending for everyone."
"Uh..." Mou Ye was speechless; probably only his brother could think this way?
...
"Never mind, I won’t think about it anymore. After Dad and Uncle Jiang finish talking, I’ll go find Uncle Jiang." Luo Ye fiddled with Little Songqiu’s soft belly, wracking her brain about how to coax the information from Dad but eventually gave up trying; she had already formed an alliance with Jiang and Ye, why put in so much effort? It seems she needed to adapt quickly to having help.
She had considered half-tricking Dad into forming an alliance, but knowing Dad’s personality very well, she knew he wouldn’t trust her unless she explained the source of her information clearly.
"Thump thump..."
"Come in!" Luo Ye glanced at the time, 8:30. It must be Mom or Grandpa at this time? Definitely not Brother, he just went back a little while ago.
Ye Xuan walked in and saw Mou Ye’s little head dangling off the bed, her pitch black, shiny eyes staring at him, with a comfortable and content Little Songqiu lying on her stomach, and Dou Dou by her side, one arm dangling off the bed swinging. Isn’t this just a kid! He regretted coming in, wanted to turn around and leave but felt that would be impolite, so he cleared his throat and, finding no better pretext, said: "Ye’er, tomorrow afternoon I and Captain Jiang will be returning. Someone will deliver the phone to you."
