Chapter 229: Caught in the Net
Ye Rufeng had been busy all day and was now tired and sleepy. He yawned and said he was going to sleep.
They asked Lu Ye where he lived.
"Grandpa, you live in the main room."
Lu Ye gave up his previous room to Ye Rufeng.
"You can sleep here; the sheets and blankets are all freshly washed."
Lu Ye diligently boiled water for the thermos and placed it in Ye Rufeng's house. He then poured water into Ye Rufeng's cup and placed it on the bedside table, telling the old man that he could drink it if he was thirsty.
As Ye Rufeng lay on the bed, watching the tall, handsome young man's heartwarming gesture, his eyes inexplicably welled up with tears.
For the past twenty years, he has lived alone and no one has ever taken such good care of him.
Of course, he also refused to be served by others.
Do everything yourself, and you'll have plenty to eat and wear.
But as he grew older, he had to admit that he felt increasingly lonely.
Seeing my peers enjoying family life also makes me feel lost and heartbroken.
He once had sons and daughters, and raised them during the most difficult times. Why has he ended up in this state now?
"Grandpa, if you need anything, just call me. I'll sleep in the side room next to yours."
Hearing Lu Ye's concerned voice, Ye Rufeng felt inexplicably irritated.
He waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
Lu Ye left and closed the door.
Then, of course, they wouldn't obediently go back to the side room to sleep.
Bai Zhi moved back to the room she had stayed in before.
Everything in the room was familiar.
The bedding on her bed had also been changed, and when Lu Ye came in, she was putting on a duvet cover.
Lu Ye naturally raised his hand to help.
After making the bed, Bai Zhi lay down on it, enjoying the fragrance of the laundry detergent and feeling incredibly relaxed.
Lu Ye lay down beside her and placed one hand on her soft waist.
Bai Zhi subconsciously raised her hand to slap it away.
Her actions only emboldened the man, who pulled her directly into his arms.
"What if my grandfather comes out? Let go of me!"
Lu Ye pulled her into his arms, leaned close to her, and said in a hoarse voice, "Grandpa was tired after a long day and is asleep."
After speaking, he flipped over and pinned the person beneath him.
The woman beneath him pushed him away, preventing him from succeeding, saying, "I'm tired after a long day too."
"Give me a kiss." His kiss gently landed on her lips.
Bai Zhi wanted to push him away, but the moment his kiss landed on her lips, her hands unconsciously wrapped around his broad back.
Her spirit possessed the man, who kissed her even more passionately.
“If you leave again, my grandfather will find out.”
Lu Ye stayed by her side, refusing to let go.
Even if Grandpa hears the noise, he won't come out.
Lu Ye said, "Grandpa is different from other old men. He is insightful, has high moral character, and respects us. He will not interfere in our private lives, nor will he impose his outdated and conservative ideas on us."
Lu Ye felt this deeply when he was in Bincheng.
They also felt grateful and respectful towards Ye Rufeng.
Bai Zhi hadn't expected Lu Ye to speak so highly of her grandfather. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "How so?"
"Think about how Grandpa treated me when he was in Yunwu Mountain?"
Bai Zhi tilted her head and recalled for a moment, her expression strange, "Wasn't he very disliked you and very fierce towards you back then?"
Is this person a masochist?
"He complains about me and seems to hate me, but he likes Xie Zheng. That's not the case at all."
Lu Ye saw through the surface and understood the essence at a glance: "He sensed that Xie Zheng wanted to ruin our relationship, so he used this method to create opportunities for us to be alone and not let me be a third wheel."
After hearing what Lu Ye said, Bai Zhi thought about it and realized it was indeed true.
During those days in Yunwu Mountain, her grandfather took Xie Zheng with him everywhere he went, and seemed to really like Xie Zheng. On the contrary, when he saw Lu Ye, he would always glare at him and show all sorts of disdain, always scolding him and making him do chores for her.
Isn't this perfectly creating opportunities for them to spend time together?
She didn't even realize it at the time.
Fortunately, Lu Ye was smart enough.
If he encounters someone who is stupid, he will definitely think that his grandfather dislikes him and is deliberately making things difficult for him.
"By the way, Xie Zheng apologized to me today."
"Hmm, is it sincere?"
Lu Ye shook his head bitterly, "He's always like this; you can't tell if he's sincere or not."
“My grandfather has already blacklisted him and refused to give him acupuncture.”
Bai Zhi sighed as she spoke.
Xie Zheng was the lead singer of a wildly popular band in his previous life.
If his arm can be restored, perhaps his career will reach even greater heights.
"Do you know why Xie Zheng's arm was injured?" Lu Ye asked Bai Zhi curiously.
“I don’t know,” Bai Zhi replied. “I remember that he didn’t go to the hospital for treatment and accidentally walked into Jishengtang. I was the one who bandaged and stitched him up.”
Looking back now, it was very problematic that Xie Zheng didn't go to the hospital for treatment.
I never heard Xie Zheng mention the details of his arm injury again.
"Oh right, I was so busy being affectionate that I forgot to tell you the important thing."
Lu Ye finally let go of her, looking at her with gentle eyes and saying, "Are you so busy that you forgot about your uncle's matter?"
“I remembered it when I was in the car. My grandfather was in the car, but I couldn’t ask him.”
Bai Zhi pinched his strong arm muscles and pouted, complaining, "It's all your fault. I was so dizzy from your kiss that I almost forgot again."
"Tell me quickly, is there any news?"
"Yes, I've got it."
Lu Ye adjusted to a more comfortable position for her, put his arm around her, and said, "I called Ye Qingbai, and Li Bin has been arrested."
"What about Li Li? Did my uncle confront her? Did that woman admit that the child in her belly is my uncle's?" This was the question that Bai Zhi was most concerned about.
“I don’t know,” Lu Ye explained. “Qingbai said his uncle refused to let him get involved in these things, and he doesn’t know what Li Li is up to yet.”
"In any case, it's a good thing that Li Bin has been caught."
Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news.
That despicable drug dealer Li Bin, before his drug den is even set up, let's send him straight to jail.
How many families can it save?
Otherwise, once their power expands, who knows how many more families will be destroyed and people will die.
"Yes, being caught is a good thing."
Lu Ye was thinking the same thing as her at that moment.
But that's not entirely true.
He was wondering if the police could uncover something bigger through Li Bin.
They need these clues and information.
Bai Zhi said, "I'll call my cousin again tomorrow to ask if there's any progress. I'm quite worried about my uncle."
She worried that Ye Tiandong wouldn't be able to handle the blow of being cuckolded.
At the same time, she was even more worried that Li Li, that vixen, would use tricks to deceive her uncle again.
"Don't worry, your uncle will handle everything."
As a man, Lu Ye actually understood Ye Tiandong's actions very well.
A man's pride and dignity prevent him from involving others in his family scandals.
Therefore, as the younger generation, after offering appropriate reminders, all they can do is wait for the results.
We should trust that Ye Tiandong will handle the problem properly.
"Okay, let's wait for the results."
Bai Zhi didn't say that the reason she was so worried that her uncle would do something foolish was because of the tragedy of her past life.
Of course, when the uncle learned the truth in his previous life, his "son" was already several years old, and most of his family property had been taken away, which is why he collapsed and lost his mind.
In this lifetime, there's still time for everything.
