Chapter 203: Thief
If he was really seriously ill, Ye Xumei would probably go back regardless of the consequences.
In the face of life and death, love, hate, and emotions are trivial matters. It was just his father's temporary lack of favoritism, but it did not affect his father's grace. Ye Xumei went to see him off and see him for the last time.
With something on her mind, Chen Zhu was in a daze and still thinking. When she woke up, she leaned on Huo Jinzhi, and the two of them stuck together, asking her to get up quickly and take a shower.
This is the only convenience on the island: taking a shower is easy.
When she finished cleaning up, she saw Ye Xumei holding his chin and looking in the direction of Beijing City. There were many emotions flashing in his eyes, and there was also a bit of sadness.
"This is not like your style. Once you decide to do it, just do it." Chen Zhuyi sat next to Ye Xumei and gave encouragement.
"Even if you knew it was the Hongmen Banquet?" Ye Xumei didn't elaborate, but mentioned it evasively.
There were quite a few papers in her hands, and she didn't cover them too much. Chen Zhuyi could only judge based on the handwriting that it was written by a girl. She was graceful and elegant, and didn't seem like someone who would scheme against others.
"Only when your heart is dead can you live well." Chen Zhu looked at her and smiled calmly: "There is no construction without destruction. If you draw a circle to imprison yourself, then it is not your character."
Once you have made a decision, just do it boldly.
Ye Xumei had a moment of clarity. No matter what the future held, she already had a home here and a lot of family members, so she would never suffer.
"Yes, then I'll go back and take a look. Do you want to come with me?" Ye Xumei thought about it and took the initiative to invite him.
Just think of it as getting to know the past.
"My dad was seriously ill, and they sent me many letters, as if they were just trying to see me one last time. But I knew it was definitely not to get me to go back."
"They want the Ye family's things. As long as I'm at home, they won't succeed. What's waiting for me ahead is probably a fire pit. It's better for you not to go."
Ye Xumei spoke to himself, stood up again and walked outside.
"We're good sisters, so I can't watch you walk into a den of tigers and wolves." Thinking of the recent research situation, Chen Zhu gritted her teeth and decided to follow her!
Not far away, Huo Jinzhi cast a dark look at him, as if he was being abandoned.
"Then I'll go ask for leave first!" Ye Xumei's joy was even stronger. He didn't refuse and ran to find Cheng Zhuoyue.
Huo Jinzhi came just now, hugged Chen Zhuyi's waist tightly, and looked at him with a clear gaze: "It hasn't been long since we got married, and you want to leave me alone in the empty house?"
"Then...then she is my sister. How can I watch her take risks alone?"
Chen Zhu muttered, feeling a little insecure. He hugged Huo Jinzhi comfortingly and pecked him on the side of the face flatteringly: "We will be back soon."
"I'll go with you." Huo Jinzhi said simply, holding Chen Zhuyi's hand.
"Do you have a vacation where you can get away?" Chen Zhu asked in a low voice when he saw his unwillingness to let go.
These words pierced Huo Jinzhi's heart.
He has been away for too long recently. Although he didn't say much, he was a little dissatisfied.
"Don't do anything unorganized or unrecorded!" Chen Zhuyi winked and showed some smug and playful expressions, which completely dissipated the anger in Huo Jinzhi's heart.
"Don't worry, Comrade Huo Jinzhi, we will definitely be able to return safely. This is going to Beijing, not a den of tigers and wolves."
She was holding Huo Jinzhi in her arms, and now she didn't care about the hot weather.
"Okay." Huo Jinzhi felt her intimacy and agreed reluctantly, but there were still some ripples in his heart.
He went to Commander Zhou that day to ask for a mission to Jing City, but did not tell Chen Zhuyi.
So, when she saw Huo Jin on the train, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Why did you follow me?"
There was not only Huo Jinzhi, but also Ma Yang and others. A group of people were sitting there with serious eyes. They must have received a mission.
"When I go out on business, I will probably go with you." Huo Jinzhi walked to Chen Zhuyi's side, holding her hand, with a little more strength in his fingertips.
The teasing laughter of the boys around him made Chen Zhuyi cough unconsciously: "Then you must protect the safety of our two girls."
Seeing their excitement, Ye Xumei sat quietly aside without saying a word.
Seeing that she was so quiet, Ma Yang took the initiative to send her some food and drinks, and the few of them arrived in Jing City peacefully.
Huo Jinzhi took these people to report first, and Chen Zhuyi went to the Ye family with Ye Xumei.
The large and quaint courtyard looked like it could accommodate quite a few people, which also showed that the Ye family had a wealthy background. Unfortunately, many leaves were falling down and a layer of them had accumulated on the ground, which showed that it had not been cleaned properly for a long time.
"This is my home. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Ye Xumei stroked the door handle and then took the initiative to apologize to Chen Zhuyi. With some complexity in his eyes, he knocked twice gently.
It was quiet and silent inside.
It was Aunt Wang who was passing by who saw Ye Xumei and quickly said, "Your daughter has done something too heartless. Your father is still unconscious in the hospital, and he never waited for you to come back!"
This statement carries obvious criticism.
Ye Xumei's body shook, his eyes full of surprise. He didn't expect that his father was really sick.
"Instead of scolding her, why don't you take us to see the situation, so that she can show her filial piety for the last time." Chen Zhuyi grabbed Ye Xumei's hand, bearing most of her weight, and then spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Aunt Wang curled her lips in disapproval, then reluctantly acted as a guide and took them to a nearby hospital.
Father Ye was receiving an IV drip and was leaning there with his eyes squinted. There was no one to take care of him. His cheeks were sunken and there was a hint of despair in his expression. But the moment he saw Ye Xumei, his eyes widened.
"Meimei, are you back?" Father Ye struggled to get up, picked up the fruit on the bedside table, and was about to give it to his beloved daughter.
"This is what Daddy left for you. Try it quickly and don't let anyone else see you."
He looked around like a thief. Ye Xumei was pushed in by Aunt Wang. He was holding the heavy apple, tears rolling down his eyes.
"In our house, I had to be sneaky when I wanted to eat anything, just because you were afraid of unfair treatment. Now that I'm gone, why don't they want to come and take good care of you?"
Ye Xumei asked in a low voice, her white fingers slowly clenched into fists, she was naturally indignant.
Since those two heartless beasts want to get everything from the Ye family, why are they unwilling to even give a little filial piety?
She complained in a low voice, and Chen Zhu knew that this was the time for them to spend time together as father and daughter, so he simply turned around and left to ask about the situation.
