Chapter 207: The Feeling of Happiness
When Ye Tiandong heard that they were going back to Nancheng, he simply gave a faint "hmm".
While eating, he said to Lu Ye, "Please tell Xiao Zhi for me that I won't be seeing her off this time. We'll meet again next time when we have time."
His current condition is really not suitable for him to meet with his niece.
Lu Ye replied, "Uncle, I will tell her."
Ye Qingbai sat opposite Ye Tiandong, looking at Ye Tiandong who seemed to have not shaved for two or three days and looked very decadent.
He felt incredibly sad.
If it weren't for his profession, he really wanted to beat that despicable couple to a pulp, tie them up and parade them around, ruin their reputations, and make sure they had no place in this society anymore.
Ye Qingbo especially thought of how even his second grandfather, who hadn't spoken to his cousin for twenty years, was so excited when he heard that Li Li was pregnant and that he was going to be a grandfather. He secretly gave him money so that he could buy things for the baby.
His second grandfather's two hundred yuan was still in his pocket, and he didn't know what to do with it.
He dared not even imagine how disappointed his second grandfather would be if he learned that Li Li was not carrying his cousin's child.
Perhaps, because of this incident, the relationship between the second grandfather and his cousin will become even more strained.
The old man was a proud man all his life, and this incident involving his son was a disgrace to him.
"Qingbai, what are you daydreaming about?"
Hearing Ye Tiandong's voice, Ye Qingbai came back to his senses and forced a smile. "Uncle, it's nothing."
Ye Qingbo really wanted to tell Ye Tiandong that his father had always cared about him as his son.
But clearly, now is not a good time to talk about this.
If his uncle hadn't been cheated on, he would have already used the money his great-uncle gave him to buy a lot of baby stuff and sent it over, while also telling his uncle that it was his great-uncle's gesture.
In that situation, the uncle would definitely soften his heart and ease the tension between father and son.
After all, my uncle is going to be a father soon.
His state of mind must have changed.
But now, everything is messed up.
That promiscuous woman, she's incredibly audacious.
How dare they openly cheat on their partner?
This might not even be considered infidelity anymore; it's a setup deliberately orchestrated by the siblings.
Ye Qingbai ultimately couldn't muster the courage to mention Ye Rufeng.
But as Ye Tiandong's nephew and a soldier representing justice, he simply couldn't listen to Ye Tiandong's words, so he pretended not to know anything.
Although he was very hungry, he had no appetite for the dishes in front of him.
He felt a heavy weight pressing on his heart, making him feel suffocated.
He took a sip of water, looked at Ye Tiandong, and spoke solemnly.
“Uncle, I’m a soldier, after all. I’m more professional at tracking and catching people than you. We’re family. I can’t stand idly by when something like this happens. Please let me help you.”
Before Ye Tiandong could speak, Ye Qingbai continued, "Anyway, I already know what happened, so there's no question of you losing face in front of me. I'm your nephew, so your business is my business, and I'm determined to see it through to the end."
Ye Qingbai sat upright, looking as if he wouldn't let Ye Tiandong refuse.
Ye Tiandong stared at him for a few seconds and replied, "Okay, I'll let you know when I need you."
Upon hearing Ye Tiandong's words, Ye Qingbai's expression immediately relaxed.
"Thank you for your trust, Uncle."
When they parted ways after dinner, Ye Tiandong took the photos they had taken that day from Ye Qingbai's hand.
Ye Tiandong looked at the two of them, his brows and eyes finally softening. He said to Lu Ye, "Don't worry about me, I will handle everything properly."
To be honest, Ye Tiandong was grateful for the enthusiasm of these young people.
But just a few days ago, when he learned about Li Li's situation from Na Baizhi, he had no idea how to face them.
As an elder, he felt utterly humiliated in front of the younger generation.
Lu Ye spoke softly, "Uncle, Xiaobai is very worried about you. She has always hoped that you will not hurt yourself because of people who are not worth it."
Don't worry.
The two said goodbye to Ye Tiandong and left.
Ye Qingbai was in a heavy mood throughout the journey.
I feel sorry for Ye Tiandong.
I hate that despicable couple.
Even though they've faced so many bad guys while on missions, they still can't accept things that truly shatter their worldview when they happen to people around them.
If Lu Ye's deduction is correct, Li Bin, besides being morally depraved, also broke the law.
When his cousin was with Li Li, how come he didn't realize they were both devils?
Bai Zhi and Ye Rufeng are going to Nancheng tomorrow. Ye Qingbai originally wanted to go and say hello to them, but Lu Ye said it was getting late and told him to go home early.
In addition, Ye Qingbai had not fulfilled his promise to Ye Rufeng, and because he felt guilty, he dared not face his second grandfather.
"Brother Ye, I'll be going now."
Lu Ye reminded him, "Remember the important matters this morning."
Although they were soldiers, they didn't have law enforcement authority. Since Li Bin had engaged in illegal and disorderly conduct, they had to report him and let the police handle it. Lu Ye had just reached the gate and pushed it open when it was opened from the inside.
Bai Zhi, seeing the man enter in the lamplight, smiled and asked, "You're back?"
Her eyebrows curved, and under the lamplight, her bright face was bathed in a soft glow.
Her gentle gaze made Lu Ye's tense heart, which had been strained all day, suddenly relax.
I feel very grounded.
This must be what home feels like.
It wasn't the atmosphere of their large family, but the warmth of a wife waiting for her husband to return home.
His heart felt completely filled with happiness.
