Knowing that Ye Xi would die in a week, Su Ci asked someone to investigate Ye Xi's situation.
Before long, she had obtained information about Ye Xi.
The Ye family had only one daughter, and when Grandpa Ye was alive, he doted on his daughter.
Ye Xi was not only gentle and beautiful, but also innocent. When she was in college, she fell in love with her senior.
The background of her senior Luo Minglu was too different from Ye Xi's, and Grandpa Ye did not approve.
But Ye Xi, who had a gentle temperament since childhood, rebelled against Grandpa Ye's words for Luo Minglu for the first time and was determined to be with Luo Minglu.
Grandpa Ye has always loved his daughter, and Ye Xi has been in poor health since she was a child, and she is frail and sickly. The old man couldn't bear to see his daughter sad, so he finally agreed to her being with Luo Minglu.
However, the prerequisite was that Luo Minglu marry into the Ye family, and his future children would also have to take the Ye family surname.
Luo Minglu agreed.
But Luo Minglu's mother had a lot of opinions about this matter.
In her village, marrying into the Ye family was a very shameful thing. Her son was a college student, the first in the village, an amazing person, and everyone in the village envied her for raising a promising son.
The son that made her proud was going to marry into the Ye family and become someone else's son-in-law, and even her grandson would have to take someone else's surname. How could she be willing?
The old lady made a scene.
In the end, no one knew how Luo Minglu comforted his mother before he got her consent.
A few years later, Mr. Ye passed away, Luo Minglu took over the management of the Ye family's company, and the old lady moved into the Ye family.
The old lady had always been resentful about her son's marriage, and since her son was already in charge of the company and Mr. Ye was no longer alive, the old lady had no scruples and she took out all her resentment on Ye Xi.
In the old lady's view, even though Ye Xi was a rich lady, as her daughter-in-law, she had to respect and be filial to her mother-in-law.
In her village, it was natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law.
Su Ci looked at the information and thought of Ye Xi's gentle and fairy-like temperament. Over the years, she had not been worn away by this temperament and was in a very good mood.
Su Ci continued to read on.
The investigation report said that Ye Xi discovered that Luo Minglu had a mistress outside, and Luo Minglu also had an illegitimate child with the mistress.
The fat boy was four years old, and the illegitimate child was only one year younger than the fat boy.
To be precise, it was not Ye Xi who discovered that Luo Minglu had an illegitimate child, but the mistress took the initiative to let Ye Xi know.
The other party was clearly unwilling to accept this and wanted to get promoted.
After Ye Xi knew about this, she immediately proposed a divorce, but Luo Minglu was unwilling to divorce.
Su Ci took a look at the photo of the mistress. The other party was heavily made up and looked a bit vulgar. She was not at the same level as Ye Xi at all.
Su Ci didn't understand why Luo Minglu gave up his beautiful wife and went out to find such stuff.
So, this is a typical example. No matter how beautiful the flowers at home are, they are not as fragrant as wild flowers?
Su Ci has no interest in dealing with the Ye family's family affairs, but for the golden marshmallows and out of her love for the little fat man, she will try her best to save people.
Fugui said that Ye Xi fell to his death from the upstairs. Was it an accident or man-made?
...
The autumn wind blew, and the early morning weather was not as hot as in summer.
Su Ci was awakened by her mother.
She happened to have no classes today, and her mother said she would take her to the temple to burn incense.
Su Ci lazily opened the curtains, and looked at her mother who was standing beside the bed with sleepy eyes. She spoke in a sleepy voice, "Temple?"
"Yes, that temple is very effective. I'm going to take you there." Su's mother did not believe in gods and Buddhas, but after her daughter went missing, she placed her hopes on gods and Buddhas for a long time.
Wen Ya told her that the temple was very effective, and she wanted to go and pray for her family's safety.
As for Wen Ya, she was going to pray for Lu Zhe.
"Ci Ci, get up quickly, Aunt Wen Ya will be here soon." Su's mother reminded.
Su Ci finally opened her eyes completely, "Aunt Wen Ya is going too?"
Mother Su smoothed her daughter's hair and said softly, "She is going to pray for Lu Zhe."
Su Ci's eyes lit up. Will Lu Zhe go?
Then she remembered that Lu Zhe didn't mention this to her last night, and he had classes today and was not free at all.
She gave up the idea that Lu Zhe would come.
Su Ci got up from the bed, her long, soft hair hanging down her back naturally.
Seeing her daughter sleepy and dazed, Su's mother couldn't help but smile, "Ci Ci, go wash up, mom is waiting for you downstairs."
On the first floor, little Su Ning and little Tiancai were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. Seeing Su Ci, the two little guys greeted their sister politely.
When Su's mother saw her daughter come down after changing her clothes, her eyes lit up, "Ci Ci looks good in this."
Su Ci was dressed simply, a white shirt on the upper body and a pair of short jeans on the lower body. Her legs were white, slender and straight, which was very eye-catching. She was wearing
a pair of white shoes on her feet and had a high ponytail on her head. She had the aura of a pure girl. No matter how you looked at her, she looked good.
"Sister, you are beautiful." Over there, the two little guys repeated Su's mother's words in unison.
Su Ci smiled and reached out to rub their heads, "Little smart."
Su Ci drank a few sips of milk and asked her brother, "Is Ye Shangjin playing well with you in kindergarten recently?"
The little genius nodded, "Shangjin will not bully other children now."
Next to her, little Su Ning asked Su Ci, "Sister, what is divorce?" The little guy said in a baby voice, "Shangjin said his mother is going to divorce his father."
Su Ci didn't expect her brother to suddenly ask such a question. She thought about it and told him, "Divorce means two people don't live together anymore."
"Ah." Little Su Ning covered her mouth in surprise, "What will happen to Shangjin if his father and mother don't live together?"
Su Ci saw that the little guy's eyebrows were wrinkled with worry, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "This is something that adults worry about. Even if his father and mother are divorced, they will still love him."
Little Su Ning nodded her head, not really understanding.
When parents divorce, the children are always the ones who get hurt.
However, in Su Ci's opinion, a man like Luo Minglu already has an illegitimate child, so divorce is the right choice for Ye Xi.
...
After breakfast, the housekeeper reported to Su's mother that the Lu family's car had arrived outside the door.
Su's mother asked the housekeeper to send the two kids to kindergarten, and she took her daughter out.
Outside the door.
Wen Ya lowered the window and saw Su's mother coming with Su Ci.
She asked the two to get in her car directly so they could chat along the way.
Su's mother did not refuse.
Su's mother sat in the middle, and Su Ci was the last to get in the car. She closed the door and saw the figure sitting in the passenger seat at a glance.
Su Ci's dark eyes lit up.
Lu Zhe turned around and politely greeted Su's mother, "Aunt Su, good morning."
Su's mother was obviously surprised that Lu Zhe was here too, and she nodded in response, "Good morning."
Beside her, Wen Ya smiled and explained, "Zi Zi doesn't have class today, so I asked him to go with me to burn incense. It would be more sincere for him to go in person."
Hearing Wen Ya's words, Su Ci's eyes curled up.
She had Lu Zhe's class schedule, so of course she knew that Lu Zhe had classes all day today.
She gave Lu Zhe a little look, but the boy in front of her had a faint expression, not even a side glance at her, and was very serious.
Su Ci glared at him with boredom, then retracted her gaze.
Su's mother was not stupid or slow-witted. She knew what Wen Ya was thinking.
She sighed in her heart and said, "Ci Ci doesn't have classes today, so I brought her here."
Wen Ya's bright face was full of smiles. "It's just right. We can chat. They are young people who have company and won't think we are boring."
Su's mother looked at her daughter with bright eyes. She had complicated thoughts. "Yes."
The weather in early autumn was very comfortable. The morning sunshine was mild, and occasionally accompanied by a breeze, which made people feel comfortable.
Next to her, Wen Ya actively found topics to chat with Su's mother.
Su Ci took out her mobile phone and tapped on it quickly with her slender white fingers.
In front, Lu Zhe, who was sitting in the passenger seat, received a message from the girl behind him, asking him why he didn't tell her that he was going to the temple, too.
Lu Zhe replied quickly: surprise.
Su Ci pursed her lips and smiled, with a flash of sadness in her eyes.
She suddenly said, "Lu Zhe, is there any mineral water on your seat?"
Su's mother looked over.
Su Ci said coquettishly to Su's mother, "I'm thirsty."
Wen Ya next to her quickly said, "Zi Zi, there are a few bottles of water in front of you, take one for Xiao Ci."
Then, Wen Ya smiled and continued to talk about the topic just now with Su's mother.
Su's mother then looked away.
Lu Zhe picked up the mineral water, opened the lid naturally, and handed it to the girl.
Su Ci reached out to take it. In the place where Su's mother and Wen Ya couldn't see, her fingertips gently touched Lu Zhe's palm, and she also flirted with Lu Zhe wantonly.
Lu Zhe tightened his hand holding the bottle, he looked deeply at the naughty girl, and whispered: "Here you go."
Su Ci took the mineral water and drank it proudly.
Lu Zhe turned around and walked over, with a faint smile in his dark eyes.
The temple is in the next city, and it takes more than an hour to get there.
Su Ci took out a candy from her small bag. She took it before going out today. It was little Su Ning's snack.
She peeled off the candy wrapper and threw the orange-flavored candy into her mouth.
Then, while Su's mother was chatting, she took out another candy from her bag and peeled off the candy wrapper.
Holding the candy, Su Ci's hand reached directly from the side to the front, groping for the position of Lu Zhe's mouth.
Su Ci whispered, "Please have some candy."
Su's mother heard the voice and glanced over here casually, only to see her daughter reaching out to hand Lu Zhe the candy.
She retracted her gaze.
Su's mother didn't see it at all. The boy in the passenger seat bit the candy in the girl's hand, and his thin lips also held the girl's slender white fingertips.
Lu Zhe rolled the candy into his mouth, and his tongue touched the girl's fingertips.
A wave of moisture came.
Su Ci quickly retracted her hand, feeling the warmth on her fingertips, and her fair face was secretly flushed.
Lu Zhe's mouth was filled with the fragrance of milk. The girl fed him a candy.
Lu Zhe seldom eats candy. When he was a child in an orphanage, good children would get candy.
He has a quiet personality. Among a group of lively children, he is like a small transparent existence, and naturally not likable.
When Lu Zhe was adopted by the Zhao family, he had endless housework every day, and Zhao's father and mother would not buy him candy.
Fortunately, Lu Zhe did not like sweets.
Unexpectedly, the girl fed him a candy.
Lu Zhe's thin lips curled up slightly, and the candy slowly melted on the tip of his tongue.
He did not notice that the little bad boy behind him blushed.
The car stopped when passing the highway service area, and Wen Ya and Su's mother wanted to go to the bathroom.
"Ci Ci, do you want to get off the car and walk?" Su's mother asked her daughter.
Su Ci leaned lazily on the car seat, "No, I'll wait for you in the car."
Wen Ya looked at her son meaningfully, "Son, what about you?"
Lu Zhe's expression was indifferent, "I'll be in the car."
Wen Ya pulled Su's mother away, "Okay, leave them here."
Su's mother didn't say much, and there was nothing to say.
The driver often picked up Lu Zhe and knew that his young master was with the young lady of the Su family. He was also smart, "Young master, I want to get off the car to buy something."
Lu Zhe nodded.
The driver left and the door closed.
Suddenly, only Su Ci and Lu Zhe were left in the car.
Su Ci sat up and leaned on the back of the seat in front of her. She poked the boy with a fingertip and said, "Lu Zhe, there's no one here now, do you want to kiss me?"
The car windows were covered with film, so people passing by couldn't see what was going on in the car.
Lu Zhe turned his head and met the girl's smiling black eyes. He chuckled and said, "No."
