Ye Shuli covered his mouth, almost letting something slip; what a close call!
Ye Qi tilted her head: "What?"
Ye Shuli feigned normalcy: "It's nothing."
Ye Qi: "...I don't understand."
As Ye Qi was getting ready to go to school, she suddenly heard a gentle, almost doting voice: "Qi Qi."
Ye Qi looked over and saw a man sitting on the sofa. He was handsome and charming, with a gentle smile on his refined face. He was the perfect gentleman, as gentle and refined as jade.
The man was Ye Ze'an, the second son of the Ye family.
When Ye Qi saw Ye Ze'an, her eyes widened in surprise.
Her second brother, whom she had only seen a few times in the past ten years, actually came home!
Ye Ze'an stood up and walked slowly towards Ye Qi. His white shirt accentuated his figure as he walked, revealing his broad shoulders, narrow waist, slender waist, and long, bamboo-like legs, all of which exuded masculine charm.
Ye Ze'an walked up to Ye Qi and gently picked her up, as if holding a child: "Our little sister has grown so tall?"
"You were only twelve years old when we last met."
Ye Ze'an seemed to be picking up Ye Qi out of happiness, but in reality, he was using the excuse of picking up Ye Qi to weigh how much Ye Qi weighed.
Thinking about last night's dream where Ye Qi was bullied by her classmates in the countryside in her past life, suffered from severe depression, returned home timid and hesitant, forced to eat even when she had no appetite, smiled and said goodbye to her family after dinner, then went back to her room and was forced to vomit because she felt nauseous...
He single-handedly bore the pressure exerted by the Bo family while secretly cooperating to protect the Ye family.
She was so thin she was almost unrecognizable, but to avoid being noticed, she wore several layers of clothing every day, even when she was sweating profusely, she dared not take them off, afraid that her family would abandon her again because she was sick.
He felt extremely sorry for his younger sister who had always been attached to him and loved him since childhood.
Fortunately, my sister did not repeat the tragedy of her previous life in this one.
He sincerely thanked his uncles and maternal uncles who were willing to accompany his sister back to her hometown.
Ye Qi felt uncomfortable being poked by Ye Ze'an and wanted to think of a way to get down, but seeing Ye Ze'an's nostalgic expression, she had no choice but to give up.
Ye Ze'an put Ye Qi down and asked softly, "Little sister, you don't need to go to school today. Have a good breakfast first."
Ye Qi raised her face: "Why?"
"After breakfast, we'll pack up and head to Grandpa's house."
at the same time.
On the side.
Ye Ji, who was sweating profusely while nervously calling his father to tell him he would be coming home, was now cowering like a quail: "Yes...yes...whatever you say is right..."
Unfortunately, the little girl beside him tilted her head, unaware that her father was on the phone, and said in a restrained voice, "Didn't Daddy say that Grandpa died a long time ago?"
Ye Ji froze instantly.
The sound on the other end of the phone stopped abruptly, followed immediately by a dial tone...
Ye Ji panicked: "Hello? Hello! Dad! Dad! Old man!"
Ye Ji: "..."
We're doomed!
Ye Ze'an silently pulled Ye Qi behind him: "Dad, don't blame my sister for the lies you told the children back then."
Ye Qi: "?"
Ye Ji rubbed his aching temples: "You brat! Do you think your dad is someone who can't distinguish right from wrong? How could I not know this principle!"
Ye Qi tugged at Ye Ze'an's sleeve. Ye Ze'an turned around and saw the little dumpling standing behind him. His usually cold and aloof demeanor softened.
"What's wrong, Qiqi?"
"So... is Grandpa still alive?"
Ye Ze'an bent down and rubbed Ye Qi's little head: "Yes, our grandfather is still alive."
"Uncle has been in contact with Grandpa, but Dad doesn't dare to contact him."
When Ye Ji heard his second son undermine him, he lost face and stubbornly retorted, "How could I not dare! I just don't want to talk to him!"
Ye Ze'an sighed helplessly, "Yes, yes, yes! Whatever you say."
Ye Jingyan flipped through the magazine in his hand, his gold-rimmed glasses and stern face giving him the air of a high-and-mighty CEO. At this moment, he frowned helplessly and sighed.
"Dad, why did you have to say bad things about Grandpa for no reason? Well, the spiking dart has finally hit you, hasn't it?"
Ye Ji: "...I didn't want to either. When the third brother was little, he would always bring his sister and ask me why we didn't have a grandfather. The other one kept saying she wanted to see her grandfather."
"That's all I can say!"
Ye Qi understood one thing from their few words:
Dad is very afraid of Grandpa.
I'm terrified of that kind of thing.
She still didn't ask for details.
So as not to upset Dad.
When Shi Wanwan came downstairs and saw Ye Qi, her eyes softened with even more kindness. She walked to Ye Qi's side and said:
"Qiqi, we're going to Grandpa's house today. I just asked your teacher for leave. You and your brothers can have breakfast first."
"Mom will pack your and Xixi's luggage in a bit, and then we'll leave."
"Okay."
Ye Qi sat obediently at the dining table and ate her meal.
"Did you tell your sister you were going to Grandpa's house?"
Ye Shuli, who was having dinner with her, nodded, mumbling, "I told you."
Ye Jingyan checked flight information on her phone: "I'll buy the tickets when I'm ready..."
A clear and gentle voice came from behind: "No need, brother."
Ye Jingyan looked up and saw Ye Zhixi, dressed in a business suit, hurrying over. "I've already had the flight route applied for, and we can leave in three hours."
Ye Jingyan was taken aback when he saw Ye Zhixi, who looked different from her usual fresh and innocent style: "Xixi, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Zhixi didn't intend to hide it from them any longer: "I just came back from a meeting."
