Chapter 123 Let it be
The military exercise ended yesterday, and today Ye Chi and his team were having a meeting at the military headquarters. After the exercise, he drove back to the military area and passed by Gu's store. Seeing that it was still open at this time, he took a look inside.
But he saw several men holding weapons standing in the house with ferocious looks. He immediately stopped the car and walked over. When he reached the door, he heard Shi Dafa say that no one dared to mess with him, so he took out his gun and walked in.
Gu Jianguo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw him and the wooden cannon in his hand. He thought these people were afraid of the weapons in their hands and would not touch bullets.
Indeed, when Shi Dafa first saw Ye Chi, he thought he was just a good-looking soldier, nothing special. However, when he saw the wooden cannon in his hand, his pupils shrank suddenly.
A soldier who can carry a wooden magazine with him must be an officer of a high rank.
At this moment, Ye Chi had already walked in front of him and kicked his bulging stomach. The kick from the military elite was not so simple, and Shi Dafa fell to the ground with a thud.
The people following behind him all stepped back, and their originally ferocious faces turned into ones of panic and flattery.
Ye Chi followed closely, stepped on his chest, looked down at him and said, "Neither the underworld nor the white world can do anything to you? Where is your territory? I'm going to take it away now."
Shi Dafa had no choice but to give in. "It was just a joke. In today's society, there's no such thing as a black or white society."
Ye Chi chuckled, "You are quite good at talking. I hope you can remember it better. This place is not for you to touch. Don't do anything illegal or you might get shot in the head one day."
His voice was contemptuous, but Shi Dafa was already trembling all over as he looked at the dark wooden entrance. He usually led a group of people to punish evildoers and fight violent crimes, so how could he dare to actually fight the army?
"I...I understand. I will abide by the law in the future." Shi Dafa said tremblingly.
Ye Chi loosened his foot and said, "Go away."
"Yes, yes, I'll get out of here right now." Shi Dafa quickly got up from the ground and ran out, and the people who followed him also ran away.
"Xiao Ye, thank you so much this time!" Gu Jianguo walked up and patted Ye Chi on the shoulder.
Ye Chi put away the wooden warehouse and said, "I just happened to pass by and saw it."
"Have you eaten? Let's go home and have dinner together." Gu Jianguo pulled him out. He must thank him for helping so much.
Ye Chi had finished his meal, but he glanced at Gu Yimin, who was talking to Gu Erhui, her eyes curved, her face serene and gentle. Suddenly feeling a little hungry, he smiled and said, "Then I'll just come to your house for dinner."
Gu Jianguo laughed and took him home. Gu Yimin and the others packed up their things and rode back on their bikes.
Han Deyi and Han Zhengping also went to Gu's house for dinner. Because there were so many people, Wang Yueju put two tables together. Everyone sat together, and the atmosphere was very lively. Gu Jianguo originally wanted to have a few drinks with Ye Chi, but Ye Chi had to drive, so he had to give up.
Ye Chi was someone who could chat with anyone if he wanted to, but he often didn't feel like chatting with anyone. But today, he definitely wanted to. Gu Jianguo and Han Deyi had both served in the military, so the three of them naturally had common topics and chatted animatedly.
Han Zhengping sat next to Gu Siqing. He glanced at Ye Chi and whispered in Gu Siqing's ear, "I think he has ulterior motives."
Gu Siqing: "Did you see everything?"
Han Zhengping: What do you mean by "I see it all"? Are you saying I'm stupid or dumb?
"Give me a meatball." Gu Siqing touched him, but her arms were too short to reach.
Han Zhengping picked up some meatballs for her and whispered, "Big sister?"
Gu Siqing nodded, and Han Zhengping sighed. Gu Siqing asked him softly, "What do you mean?"
"nothing."
Gu Siqing glanced at him and asked, "Do you think you understand a lot just because you received a few love letters?"
This even amounted to a personal attack. Han Zhengping whispered, "I haven't read any of the love letters. How about I show them to you?"
Gu Siqing: "I'm not that boring."
"What are you two whispering about?" Gu Erhui asked them, and they both quickly said it was nothing.
Gu Yimin sat beside Gu Erhui and ate silently. Everyone else could sense Ye Chi's intentions, and she, as the person involved, could feel it even more. From the moment they sat down to eat together, Ye Chi's eyes would occasionally turn to her, and it was impossible for her to pretend not to know.
But she pretended not to see it.
She wasn't as impulsive as before. The gap between her and Ye Chi was too great. Family background, knowledge, the difference between them was not even a tiny bit. She might be able to catch up with his knowledge if she tried hard, but her family background was something she couldn't change.
Deng Zhiming's family was arrogant because he had an uncle who worked at the county police station, not to mention Ye Chi's family background. Perhaps his family was not like the Deng family, but she herself would also feel pressure and uncomfortable.
If she loved Ye Chi very much, she might have gone through all the difficulties to be with him, but she didn't, at least not now.
She just wants to be herself now and let everything else take its course.
Over there, Gu Jianguo told Ye Chi about his plan to buy a house in Kyoto. "Our Gu family hasn't produced any educated people in several generations. Now that we finally have a promising child like Xiao Si, I want to put pressure on her and encourage her to go to Kyoto for college. I plan to buy a house in Kyoto. How much would a house as big as mine cost in Kyoto?"
Ye Chi glanced at the Gu family's youngest, who was whispering to Han Zhengping, and knew that Gu Jianguo was making an excuse. Saying that he was buying a house for his children's schooling sounded better than saying that he had become rich and wanted to buy a house in Kyoto.
He glanced at Gu Yimin again. She was drinking porridge with her head down. Her movements were not as elegant as those taught in a big family, but they were still pretty good.
Ye Chi was naturally in favor of the Gu family buying a house in Kyoto, and he would be even happier if the entire family moved there. He felt that this was not impossible. Business could be done anywhere, and he could take better care of it in Kyoto.
"I don't know the exact price, but a house like yours would cost around 10,000 in Kyoto," Ye Chi said.
Gu Jianguo was not surprised to hear this number. He was mentally prepared that the land in Kyoto would naturally be more valuable than that in Lizhou.
"Then you can help me look for two apartments. A bigger one would be fine. It would be spacious to live in." Gu Jianguo looked at Han Deyi. "Do you want one?"
Han Deyi looked at his eldest son, who was picking up some food for his youngest son. After a moment's thought, he said, "Buy some for the child to go to school."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to find a few sets and you can choose one when the time comes." Ye Chi said.
"Okay, June and July are the off-season for clothing. Then our whole family will go to Kyoto for fun and buy a house by the way." Gu Jianguo listened to the clothing factory owner about the fact that June and July were the off-season for clothing.
Ye Chi agreed and said that he would definitely find a house for him when the time comes.
The guests and hosts had a great time during the meal. Ye Chi wanted to tell Gu Jianguo about his relationship with Gu Yimin, but then he thought it would be better to inform his family first.
