Chapter 183: Confronting Ye Tiandong

Bai Zhi took two sets of underwear, paid for them, and planned to go outside again to buy shoes and socks for her grandfather.

She noticed today that the heels of the old man's old-fashioned cloth shoes were torn.

Bai Zhi asked the sales clerk to find a less conspicuous cloth bag to help her pack her clothes.

"No, you can buy one yourself if you need it."

Bai Zhi spent another dollar to buy a cloth bag and put the underwear inside.

"Have you bought it?" Lu Ye touched his nose and asked awkwardly.

Bai Zhi noticed his darting eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.

She said, "I also want to buy my grandfather a pair of shoes and two pairs of socks."

Bai Zhi walked ahead carrying the bag, with the man beside her.

His handsome face hesitated for a moment, as if he had mentally prepared himself, but he still reached out and took the bag from her hand.

He asked for it, and Bai Zhi gave it to him.

Bai Zhi looked around and bought Ye Rufeng a pair of sneakers.

It's getting cold, and my feet get cold in the mornings when I wear cloth shoes.

Leather shoes are uncomfortable to wear all the time.

Sneakers are the most suitable.

When Bai Zhi bought socks, she specially got two pairs for Lu Ye as well.

Lu Ye wanted to pay, but she refused.

She said, "This is my gift, I have to buy it."

Bai Zhi's words prompted Lu Ye to immediately put the money back in his pocket.

He had to appreciate his girlfriend's feelings.

Yeah, his girlfriend bought him socks.

So happy.

He was secretly delighted, and couldn't help but smile.

Bai Zhi went around again and bought some daily necessities for her and Zhou Lin, such as face cream and shampoo.

She buys these things very quickly because she knows which brands are good and doesn't need to be picky.

After she finished packing, she gave everything to Lu Ye. "I've bought everything. Let's go, it's almost four o'clock."

The two left the department store and put their things in the car.

Lu Ye drove to the teahouse.

The two places are close to each other and there is no traffic jam, so it only takes a few minutes to get to the destination.

Bai Zhi was in a pleasant mood while shopping.

But as they approached the teahouse, her emotions became complicated and difficult to describe.

It even makes me feel very sad.

I don't know how to bring up Li Li and Li Bin's affair when I see my uncle later.

As a man, and a respected figure in Bincheng, he has been subjected to such a disgraceful incident.

How should he accept this?

Where does he put his face?

Bai Zhi was filled with conflicting emotions, but now that things had come to this point, she had to expose the despicable affair of that adulterous couple.

When they arrived at the teahouse, they had just parked their car when Ye Tiandong arrived at the entrance.

He saw Lu Ye and Bai Zhi, a smile on his face, and said in a cheerful voice, "Xiao Zhi, Xiao Lu, what a coincidence that we arrived at the same time."

He looked at his niece, and a look of affection on his face appeared that was beyond his years. "We really are family. My niece and I have a tacit understanding."

Bai Zhi replied, "Uncle, we came out early and just went to the department store."

"Really?" Ye Tiandong asked with a smile, "What did you buy?"

"I bought a pair of shoes for my grandfather."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ye Tiandong's expression stiffened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He walked ahead, smiling, "Let's go in."

The three of them entered the teahouse and asked for a private room.

Bai Zhi ordered tea and snacks.

Ye Tiandong looked at the two of them and asked with a smile, "Xiao Zhi, Xiao Lu called to invite me, saying you two wanted to sit with me. Why don't you go to a restaurant?"

Bai Zhi's feelings were very complicated at this moment, and she didn't know how to start the conversation.

Her expression didn't seem very natural either.

She tried to hide her mixed emotions and forced a smile, "Uncle, we're afraid that going there will affect our business."

"Look at what you're saying, what business can you possibly influence?"

Ye Tiandong could tell from their expressions that they wanted to talk to him.

It probably wasn't something to be happy about.

Otherwise, their expressions wouldn't be as somber as if they were visiting a grave.

Bai Zhi explained, "Uncle, the restaurant is busy and there are many people eating here, so it's quieter here."

"Well, go ahead, what do you two want from me?" Ye Tiandong asked with a smile on his face and a relaxed tone.

Bai Zhi and Lu Ye exchanged a glance.

Lu Ye put his hand in the pocket containing the envelope, hesitated, and didn't take it out.

Bai Zhi also lowered her head.

Seeing this, Ye Tiandong frowned slightly, but his voice remained relaxed and cheerful, "Speak, don't be so coy."

“If Xiaozhi won’t say it, Xiaolu, you should say it. You’re a soldier, don’t be so hesitant, just be straightforward.”

Ye Tiandong looked at the two of them and encouraged them, "I, Boss Ye, have seen a lot of things. What can't I handle? You two, speak up boldly if you have something to say."

"Uncle, I........"

Just as Bai Zhi was about to speak, the waiter brought in tea and snacks.

Bai Zhi hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

After the waiter put the food down and left, Bai Zhi didn't know how to start the conversation.

Since Bai Zhi didn't speak up, Lu Ye naturally didn't feel comfortable speaking first.

Ye Tiandong's heart sank. He forced a smile and tentatively asked, "You two aren't here to persuade me to reconcile with the old man, are you?"

Bai Zhi and Lu Ye remained silent.

Ye Tiandong feigned seriousness, "Let me make this clear beforehand: if this is the case, then you two better not bring it up. I can never reconcile with him in this lifetime."

Bai Zhi's expression became even more complicated upon hearing Ye Tiandong's words.

If this were true, she wouldn't be feeling so heavy-hearted and distressed right now.

The conflict between my uncle and my maternal grandfather stemmed from my maternal grandmother's passing.

My maternal grandparents were both imprisoned in a cowshed back then.

In the end, my grandmother couldn't make it and passed away in the cowshed.

My uncle heard from others that my maternal grandfather betrayed my maternal grandmother, causing her to suffer inhuman torture in the cowshed until she died.

Therefore, his uncle never forgave him.

In fact, the truth is not like that.

My grandfather was definitely not that kind of person.

My grandmother's death was caused by that particular era.

Not my maternal grandfather.

The rift between them was cleared up when they met Grandpa Zhou later.

Of course, this is on the premise that the uncle believes what Grandpa Zhou said.

Bai Zhi remained silent, lost in thought.

She didn't speak, and Lu Ye remained silent as well.

But his expression looked even more solemn.

Upon seeing this, a dark look flashed across Ye Tiandong's eyes.

It's not that person's problem.

His expression did not lighten after this realization.

He even had a more ominous premonition.

He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Xiao Zhi, just say what's on your mind. You're my niece, my family. We don't need to be so formal with each other."

Bai Zhi looked at Lu Ye and said, "Take it out."

Now that she'd already invited her uncle out, there was no turning back.

Moreover, this matter must be told to my uncle.

We can't delay any longer.

Lu Ye waited for Bai Zhi to speak.

As soon as Bai Zhi spoke, he immediately took out the envelope and placed it on the table.

"What is this?" Ye Tiandong asked, looking at them.

"Uncle, please open it and take a look," Bai Zhi said.

Ye Tiandong hesitated for a moment, then picked up the envelope and opened it.

Inside was a stack of photos.

He pulled it out, and the first picture that caught his eye was a photo of his wife, Li Li, and Li Bin.
