Chapter 169: The Wife's Brother Touches the Pregnant Belly?
Ye Qingbai skillfully parked the Jeep in front of a furniture store.
Ye Qingbai looked at the pile of wood stacked at the entrance of the furniture store and said to Lu Ye, "Brother Ye, this is the store. The owner is a carpenter himself. He makes and sells his own furniture, eliminating middlemen and making it very affordable. His craftsmanship is also quite good. My dad used to buy furniture here often."
Lu Ye nodded, "Okay, let's go in and take a look."
Then the two of them went inside.
Because the furniture is made in-house, the store looks rather messy.
Just then, the proprietress saw two distinguished young men enter, one of whom was wearing a military uniform, and she immediately took them seriously.
They were received with great warmth and courtesy.
Ye Qingbai said, "Boss lady, we've come to buy a bed. Can you show us around?"
"Okay, please come to the back, both of you. Our beds and sofas are in the backyard. They were all made by my boss himself. They are of very high quality and very sturdy."
The two followed the proprietress into the backyard, where the proprietress was planes wood.
When the shop owner heard they were buying a bed, he raised his eyelids and said there were several sizes of beds available, so they could choose one.
Lu Ye's gaze shifted from the 1.2-meter-wide small bed to the 1.5-meter-wide one, and then to the 1.8-meter-wide large bed at the very edge.
The small bed is too small for two people.
He asked, "How much is that big bed?"
Just as the proprietress was about to speak, the man who was engrossed in his work spoke up first, "For you soldiers, eighty is enough."
Upon hearing this, the proprietress hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper, it's too cheap; it doesn't even cover the cost."
"Don't make a sound." The carpenter was working with his hands, his dark, weathered face tense, looking like someone you wouldn't want to mess with.
His tone was quite firm, "Eighty."
Lu Ye inspected the large bed; it was entirely made of solid wood.
He said thank you and took out his money to pay.
"Boss, will you install this bed for us or will we install it ourselves?" Ye Qingbai asked.
"We're quite busy today and don't have time to deliver or install it. You can just pick it up yourself. It's very easy to install. The bed is already made; you just need to put these boards on top."
Lu Ye and Ye Qingbai observed for a while, and this kind of work was a piece of cake for them.
So Ye Qingbai suggested that he find a small truck and take it away directly.
Waiting for the boss to deliver the goods, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight.
As they left the furniture store, Lu Ye asked Ye Qingbai, "Do you own a truck?"
Ye Qingbai shook his head. "No."
“But my uncle has them. His restaurant has trucks for hauling goods, and the place that collects medicinal herbs also has them.”
At this point, Ye Qingbai looked at Lu Ye and asked curiously, "Brother Ye, have you met my uncle since you came to Bincheng?"
"Yes, we had dinner together at the restaurant last night."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingbai clicked his tongue twice, "As expected of my company commander, the progress is really fast."
"Company Commander, besides you and my cousin, who else is there? Has my second grandfather passed away?" Ye Qingbai asked with a gossipy look.
Lu Ye shook his head. "No."
"well."
Although Ye Qingbai had already anticipated the answer, he still couldn't help but sigh.
When will that stubborn father and son be able to reconcile?
"Let's go to the restaurant and borrow a car from my uncle."
Ye Qingbai then drove to the Bincheng Grand Hotel.
As soon as he entered, Manager Cui of the restaurant recognized him.
"Young Master Ye, you're back?"
Manager Cui recognized Lu Ye after a few seconds of hesitation. She realized he was the gentleman who had dinner with the boss the night before and warmly invited them upstairs.
"Where is my uncle?" Ye Qingbai asked.
"Our boss isn't here."
Manager Cui said, "However, our boss's wife is upstairs."
Upon hearing what Supervisor Cui said, Lu Ye's eyes flickered slightly.
Ye Qingbai said, "Oh, my aunt is here. I'll go upstairs and talk to her about something."
With his signature smile on his face, Manager Cui pointed the way to Ye Qingbai, "The boss lady is having dinner in private room number two. Young Master Ye, you can just go in and find her."
"Okay, thank you."
Supervisor Cui was busy with other things. Ye Qingbai was going to borrow a car from Li Li and wanted to invite Lu Ye to come along.
Lu Ye asked,
"Are you very close to your aunt?"
Ye Qingbai shrugged. "We're not close. We only met once when they got married."
Lu Ye hummed in agreement.
If that's the case, Ye Qingbai probably doesn't know anything about Li Li's situation.
He said, "Then you go inside and find her, I'll wait downstairs."
"good."
Ye Qingbai went to a private room in the restaurant.
He lifted the curtain and went inside.
He entered suddenly and saw a man sitting next to Li Li, with one hand on her stomach.
The woman was startled when she saw the man suddenly enter, and asked urgently, "Who are you looking for?"
Ye Qingbai was also shocked by this scene and almost thought he had entered the wrong private room.
But he has excellent eyesight and a good memory.
Although he only met Li Li once, he remembered her face.
The scene was quite awkward. Ye Qingbai scratched his head and forced himself to introduce himself, "Auntie, I am Ye Qingbai."
"Ye Qingbai?" Li Li paused for two seconds before remembering who Ye Qingbai was.
She hurriedly brushed her hair aside and sat up straight.
The man next to him casually withdrew his hand.
Li Li forced a smile and greeted her warmly, "So you're Qingbai! We met once last year, and I almost didn't recognize you."
Her eyes darted around slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, gestured towards the man beside her, and introduced him.
“This is my brother from my maternal family. He came to see me and the baby in my belly today. He has been thinking about his eldest nephew.”
Upon hearing Li Li's words, Ye Qingbai suddenly understood.
Her gaze toward Li Bin returned to normal.
It turns out he was my aunt's brother from her maternal family.
Ye Qingbai had no time to think about anything else. He said to Li Li, "Auntie, it's like this, I came to the restaurant to borrow a truck for hauling goods. My uncle isn't here, and I heard from Manager Cui that you were upstairs, so I came up to say hello and tell you about borrowing the truck."
When Ye Qingbai mentioned Supervisor Cui, his handsome face was filled with resentment.
Why didn't the older sister tell him that his aunt was having dinner with guests?
They even let him go straight in.
Intentionally to embarrass him?
When Li Li heard that Ye Qingbai had come to borrow the car, she was quite generous. "We're all family here. If you need the car, just take it. Ask Manager Cui if the car is available right now. If it is, just take it."
"Okay, Auntie, then I won't bother you any longer. When my uncle comes back, please tell him that I'll go visit him when I'm done with my work."
"good."
Ye Qingbai couldn't help but glance again at the man who was lounging lazily and relaxed in his chair, before leaving the private room.
As soon as he left, Li Li also picked up her bag, intending to go out as well.
But the man grabbed her.
"Stay put and don't move. I haven't heard the child make a sound yet."
From inside the private room came a woman's suppressed, struggling voice, "Let me go, you bastard, can you please stop bothering me here?"
"cannot."
