Chapter 131: Can’t Let Her Enter the Ye Family
The next day, Gu Jianguo discussed hiring staff with Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui. The sisters both agreed. However, they definitely couldn't hire now, as they were about to close for the holiday. Instead, they could spread the word ahead of time so they could hire more quickly.
Gu Siqing's entrance exam results for primary school soon came out, and they were as she expected: she ranked first in the school with a perfect score of 100. Wang Yueju smiled after learning the results and said, "See, eating fried dough sticks and two eggs worked!"
Gu Siqing: Isn’t it because I’m a good student?
Forget it, it’s best as long as mom is happy.
Gu Siqing's test results came out, and they prepared to leave for Kyoto. Gu Jianguo contacted Ye Chi by phone in advance, and Ye Chi said he would pick them up when the time came.
Although Gu Jianguo felt that it was a bit of a bother for him, they didn't know anyone in Kyoto, so there was no way he could not trouble him.
In Kyoto, Ye Chi went into the study after hanging up the phone and told Ye Xingjian about this matter. Ye Xingjian attached great importance to the Gu family's visit to Kyoto.
"Let's arrange for them to stay at home." Ye Xingjian said, "I didn't have the chance to thank that little girl back then, but now that I have the chance, I must not neglect her."
Ye Chi didn't want the Gu family to live in his house. Liu Yuzhen was still there, and he didn't want Gu Yimin and her family to know about the complexity of his family.
"Let's arrange for them to stay at the People's Hotel." Ye Chi said, "They have a large family, and it's inconvenient for us to stay in the limited rooms."
Ye Xingjian thought about it and felt it was okay, so he said, "When the time comes, you can arrange for them to come to our house for dinner. I must solemnly thank Gu Yimin and her parents."
"Okay, I'll arrange it then." Ye Chi tilted his head slightly to the outside, and then a sneer flashed in his eyes. He was sure that Liu Yuzhen was eavesdropping outside the door.
He deliberately raised his voice and said, "I've asked someone to find a few houses. Let them choose when the time comes."
Ye Xingjian tapped the table with his fingers. "How about we give a house to that girl Gu Yimin?"
Ye Chi understood what he meant and wanted to return the favor as soon as possible, but based on his understanding of Gu Yimin and the Gu family, they didn't take the so-called life-saving favor to heart at all, let alone ask for the house.
He said, "No need. They can afford to buy their own houses. If we give them as gifts, it would seem a bit disrespectful to them."
Ye Xingjian hummed, "You decide."
The two exchanged a few more words, and Ye Chi left. When he opened the door, Liu Yuzhen had naturally left. He turned right and went upstairs. Just as he climbed two steps, Liu Yuzhen's voice rang out from behind him, "Did you do this to my eldest brother?"
Ye Chi turned around, looked down at Liu Yuzhen and said calmly, "Yes."
"Why?" Liu Yuzhen twisted the muscles on her face, her expression as sinister as a wolf, completely different from her usual gentleness.
Since Ye Xingjian is not around, there is no need for her to pretend to be simple and gentle.
Ye Chi watched her true nature revealed and smiled faintly, "You won't forget what you did to me and my sister, right?"
Liu Yuzhen clenched her fists and looked fierce, but what did that mean to Ye Chi? He turned around with his lips hooked, saying, "Be more restrained, or there will be another one."
Liu Yuzhen was so angry that she wanted to scream. At this moment, the study door opened and Ye Xingjian walked out. "What are you doing standing there?"
"Nothing. I asked Ye Chi what he wanted to eat for dinner. He went upstairs without saying anything." The moment she turned around, Liu Yuzhen returned to her innocent and gentle appearance.
Ye Xingjian had no doubts and said, "He will have to go back to the army soon, don't worry about him."
Liu Yuzhen walked over and took his arm. "My three children are often not home. When they come back, I want to make something delicious for them."
Ye Xingjian smiled and patted her hand, "Ye Chi and Ye Ling are just like that, don't take it to heart."
Liu Yuzhen smiled, "They are all children, why should I bother with them?"
As she spoke, she helped Ye Xingjian sit down, sighed, and said, "Can't you really think of a way to solve my brother's problem?"
Her elder brother Liu Yuliang was reported for bribery a few days ago, and the evidence was irrefutable. He has now been dismissed from his post for investigation. Of course, she has now confirmed that it was Ye Chi who did it.
However, she didn't dare tell Ye Xingjian, otherwise, what she had done in the past might be dug up.
When Ye Xingjian heard her talking about Ye Yuliang, his face turned bad. Whether in the military or in the political circles, accepting bribes is a taboo.
Let him say that those who accepted bribes are short-sighted. The country has allocated you a house, a car, paid you a good salary, and given you social status. Even so, you still accept bribes. You deserve to be investigated and dismissed.
Therefore, he would definitely not care if Liu Yuliang did something like this.
"All my connections are in the army. There's nothing I can do." Ye Xingjian said.
Liu Yuzhen's eyes were filled with tears. "Ye Ling must have a good relationship with the Xia family, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the Xia family to test their opinions."
Ye Xingjian stood up and said in a bad tone, "Yuzhen, you should know my temper. If you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. What you should do now is not begging me to save Liu Yuliang, but tell your family to be more restrained in the future."
He turned and walked away, leaving Liu Yuzhen practically pissed off. Ye Chi and Ye Ling thought she was vicious, but they didn't consider why she did what she did. If Ye Xingjian had been a bit more sincere towards her, she wouldn't have felt so insecure.
She also wants to be a good woman, but reality forces her to do those cruel things, because if she doesn't fight and compete, she will have nothing.
Look, she had been acting for so many years, calculating for so many years, but in the end, it was all in vain. How could she accept this?
After calming down, she cooked Ye Xingjian's favorite dishes and apologized, and only then did Ye Xingjian look better.
Sometimes she really couldn't understand Ye Xingjian. If he said he cared about Ye Chi and his brother, but she had done so much for him, Ye Xingjian hadn't noticed. If he said he didn't care, he gave Ye Chi the best.
"I just heard Ye Chi talking about buying a house. Does he want to buy a house?" Liu Yuzhen asked after dinner.
Ye Xingjian drank his after-dinner tea and said casually, "The Gu family wants to buy it."
"Oh, a house in Kyoto must cost at least more than ten thousand." Liu Yuzhen didn't believe that the Gu family paid for the house themselves. It must have been Ye Xingjian and Ye Chi who paid for it.
That's over 10,000 yuan. Ye Xingjian's monthly allowance is 383 yuan, and she hasn't even made 10,000 yuan in two years. Taking out over 10,000 yuan all at once is like digging her flesh.
This must be Ye Chi's idea. He wants to get money from Ye Xingjian.
She originally thought that Gu Yimin was just a country girl, and it would be perfect for Ye Chi to marry her so that she wouldn't have to make any moves. But now it seems that she can't be allowed to enter the Ye family.
Gu Yimin is Ye Xingjian's savior. If she marries into the family, Ye Xingjian will definitely favor her in every way, and she will have no status in this family.
