Chapter 207 Exposing
Julie had never been so embarrassed in her life. Her face turned red and she wanted to disappear immediately. She hated her father for bringing her here even more.
She didn't utter a word.
Seeing Zhu Li silent, Zhu Cheng continued, "It must be because Lili is prettier and more capable than her colleagues. Her colleagues are jealous of Lili, so they bully her."
Zhu Li said anxiously: "Dad, please stop talking."
Zhu Cheng was very dissatisfied with his daughter's repeated poor performance today and glared at her.
“Pah pah pah!”
Zhu Cheng looked over and saw Chairman Zheng’s granddaughter clapping and smiling.
Ye Rou said softly, "Did Zhu Li tell you the new person's name?"
Zhu Cheng thought for a moment and replied, "I think her name is Rou?"
He listened casually and didn't take it to heart. Seeing Ye Rou's curiosity, he quickly said to Zhu Li, "Hurry up and tell Ye Rou, who bullied you..."
The more Zhu Cheng spoke, the lower his voice became, and in the end he couldn't say anything.
He finally reacted.
Zhu Li whispered, "It's her, Ye Rou."
Zhu Cheng felt that everything in front of him was spinning, making him dizzy, his heart beating faster, and his throat dry.
Ye Rou smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's me."
Zheng Zhiyuan looked at Ye Rou with a smile.
Zhu Cheng was silent for a while, then laughed, his smile uglier than crying, and said, "Haha, isn't it just like the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple? Family members no longer recognize each other! Chairman Zheng, I didn't expect your granddaughter and my daughter to be colleagues. What a fate."
Zheng Zhiyuan said, "From what your daughter said, Xiaorou bullied her in the hospital and even slapped her today?"
Zhu Cheng immediately waved his hands and said, "It's just a fight between children. I believe Ye Rou didn't hit Lili on purpose."
"I did it on purpose," Ye Rou said with a hint of malice. "Zhu Li called me a mistress and said I got into the military hospital through nepotism, so I slapped her."
Zheng Zhiyuan's face darkened, and he looked at Zhu Cheng with an especially pressured expression, "Zhu Cheng, your daughter is so young, how could she say such a thing!"
Zhu Cheng suddenly turned his head to look at Lili. Seeing that she was hanging her head and not defending herself, he immediately realized that what Ye Rou said was true. "Lili, I am so disappointed in you. How could you say such a thing!"
Seeing that Chairman Zheng had not yet expressed his opinion, Zhu Chengyi ruthlessly slapped Zhu Li in the face with his hand.
The sound of the slap was particularly clear. Zhu Cheng hit the man with great force and showed no mercy.
Julie covered half of her numbed cheek with her hand and lowered her head.
She was already ashamed of herself after being embarrassed in front of Ye Rou.
She just wanted to leave now, the faster the better.
After beating her, Zhu Cheng said to Ye Rou, "Ye Rou, don't be angry. Lili has no bad intentions. This child must have been instigated by someone."
"Lili, apologize to Ye Rou." Zhu Cheng pushed Zhu Li and asked her to speak and express her opinion.
Julie bit her lower lip tightly and refused to say a word.
She would never bow to Ye Rou!
Ye Rou also smiled and refused: "If it's not a sincere apology, I don't want it."
"No matter what, it's my Lili's fault. She deserves an apology," Zhu Cheng said dryly. Seeing Chairman Zheng's face darken as he picked up his teacup, clearly intending to send him away, he could only say, "Chairman Zheng, we'll be leaving first. Take a look at this house..."
Julie didn't expect her father to have the nerve to bring up the house issue. She was too shy to stay any longer and turned around and ran away.
"Lili." Zhu Cheng saw his daughter leaving and hurried to chase her.
"Wait a moment." Zheng Zhiyuan stopped him and said, "Take what you brought with you."
"Chairman Zheng, please don't! These malted milk and fruits are also my gifts, please keep them." Zhu Cheng said hurriedly.
Zheng Zhiyuan said, "Take it back and feed it to your sick wife."
This sentence was neither gloomy nor solemn, and was said in an extremely calm tone.
Zhu Cheng was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He couldn't stay any longer and left with his things.
As soon as the two of them left, Ye Rou smiled.
Zheng Zhiyuan looked at her helplessly and said, "This Zhu Li has bullied you a lot, right?"
"She dares." Ye Rou waved her fist.
Zheng Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Don't always think of using fists to solve problems. When dealing with such villains, you have to learn to use their own strength to counter their own."
Ye Rou blinked and said, "Grandpa, what do you mean?"
"Lend me a lesson." Zheng Zhiyuan thought about what Zhu Li said about Xiaorou, and anger surged in his heart. If a son is not well educated, it is the father's fault. He made up his mind to let Zhu Cheng know the consequences of indulging his daughter.
"Grandpa, it's great to have you." Ye Rou said in an admiring tone.
Zheng Zhiyuan laughed. "You're still being bullied in your Grandma Ying and Grandpa Li's territory. I don't know whether to say you're low-key or stupid."
Ye Rou scratched her head, her face slightly red.
Zheng Zhiyuan stared at Ye Rou in a trance. Finally, he said, "Old Li said that Liang Yushan went to the hospital to help you today?"
Ye Rou nodded. "I saw him in the hospital. What happened?"
Zheng Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "Your Grandpa Li called me and said that Liang Yushan wants to see you."
Ye Rou frowned slightly. She was not interested in meeting Liang Yushan, but she wanted to know who had sold Zheng Lili out in the first place.
She whispered, "Grandpa, let me go see him. I want to know what happened to my mother back then."
Zheng Zhiyuan knew that Xiaorou was not Lily. She had the means and ability to protect herself. He pondered for a moment and finally relented, "Go, but be sure to pay attention to safety."
"Okay." Ye Rou nodded.
Zheng Zhiyuan still had some official business to attend to, so he went to the study in the outer courtyard.
Ye Rou stayed in the outer hall, opened the system, and confirmed that the melon had been eaten successfully.
She stretched out her hand and was about to click when she paused.
Because she saw a reward on the blue block in the turntable: a one-day fairy tale character experience card.
She withdrew her hand and changed her mind about winning the lottery now, planning to go back to the bedroom to draw again.
If she really won this reward and changed her appearance on the spot, she wouldn't know how to explain it to others if they saw her.
Ye Rou made up her mind and walked straight back to the inner courtyard. When she passed the kitchen, her ears moved slightly.
There was movement in the kitchen.
She stood on tiptoe, quietly moved over, leaned over to the kitchen door, and looked inside.
It was getting late and it looked like it was going to rain, dark clouds covering the moon tonight.
The kitchen was pitch black. Ye Rou's eyesight had been enhanced by the system, so she could see more clearly than others in the dark. Naturally, she saw the dark figure rummaging through the drawers in the kitchen looking for something.
After seeing who it was, Ye Rou said: "..."
She felt around the wall, grabbed the light cord and pulled it.
The electric light dispelled the darkness, illuminating the situation and the person in the kitchen clearly.
"Grandma Song." Ye Rou said helplessly: "What are you doing?"
Being caught red-handed by the younger generation, Song Zhishu put down the pot lid. Too embarrassed to admit that he was greedy and came out to find something to eat, he whispered guiltily, "I'm so thirsty, I need a bowl of water."
Seeing the old lady secretly glancing at her while talking, Ye Rou decided to save some face for Grandma Song and did not ask any further questions.
She walked into the kitchen, poured water from the thermos for Grandma Song, and said, "After you finish drinking, I will take you home."
Song Zhishu sighed, took the cup and drank the water, then walked out reluctantly.
Ye Rou took out the wooden box on top of the cabinet and followed Grandma Song.
She supported Grandma Song, and seeing that she was depressed, she advised: "Grandma, wait another half a month, your illness will be almost cured, and then I will make snacks for you."
Song Zhishu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Ye girl, are you serious?"
"Really." Ye Rou reminded: "However, you must eat in moderation and not overeat. Ten kilograms of pork jerky a day is really not okay."
