With trepidation, Ye Jiu and Su Qingyue returned to the Ye family's old residence. Su Qingyue had informed them in advance that she was coming, so she waited for them at home.
They had also told them about Ye Jiu's return, but they all thought he was joking, or even that he had gone mad, and subtly advised him to see a psychologist.
Ye Chengfeng and Xu Wanqing stood at the door to greet Su Qingyue. When they saw a girl get out of the car, Xu Wanqing exclaimed, "So, Qingyue has a girlfriend now, she's coming out..." Before she could finish her sentence, she stared blankly at the girl's face.
Ye Chengfeng noticed it too, and the two of them stood frozen at the door without making a move. Ye Jiu stepped forward first and called out, "Dad, Mom."
After saying that, she knelt down with a "plop," saying, "Your daughter is unfilial."
Ye Jiu clenched her fists again. This scapegoat was huge and heavy. Damn system, you just wait!
Xu Wanqing immediately helped her up, her eyes filled with tears, "...Xiao Jiu?"
She looked Ye Jiu up and down repeatedly, muttering, "She's lost weight, lost weight, lost so much weight..." She recognized her daughter at first glance.
Ye Chengfeng, who hadn't cried during Ye Jiu's funeral years ago, was now in tears, "My...my dear daughter..."
The couple surrounded Ye Jiu, who reached out and hugged them. "I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, I had amnesia before..."
Ye Chengfeng interrupted Ye Jiu before she could finish speaking, saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Are you alright?"
Ye Jiu shook her head. "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Ye Chengfeng waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to hear anything else, and patted Ye Jiu on the back, "That's fine, that's fine, let's go in and eat."
The family of three was so engrossed in their conversation that they completely forgot about Su Qingyue. Ye Jiu only remembered him when she walked into the yard. She turned around and saw him following behind her, and then she felt relieved.
"Hurry up and go." Ye Jiu called to him. Xu Wanqing and Ye Chengfeng turned around when they heard this and realized that they had forgotten about Su Qingyue.
"Look at me, I've neglected Qingyue. Let's go, I've made a big table of dishes, all of which are your favorites."
Su Qingyue nodded and quickly caught up with them.
Today, the Ye family home is filled with laughter and joy, just like during the Lunar New Year.
——
The Ye family's daughter, who had been missing for three years, has been found! The news spread like wildfire throughout the city, from large families to small ones.
Ye Jiu had just finished setting up her SIM card when her phone started ringing for almost a day. People she knew and didn't know called her, and she only answered the calls from people she knew.
The moment she heard her voice, Tian Tian screamed, nearly shattering the roof, "Ye Jiu!!! You're not dead!!!"
Ye Jiu smiled and said, "You're lucky, you didn't die."
Tian Tian sniffled, "Waaah, you have no idea how badly I cried at your funeral back then! You owe me compensation for emotional distress!!!"
"I'll make it up to you right now, okay? I'll come find you tonight."
"I welcome this with open arms!! But I'm living with Guan Qinghuai now, you don't mind, do you? Hehe."
Ye Jiu felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this. Having been back for so long, aside from Su Qingyue's focused work, only this sentence truly made her realize that three years had really passed…
She remembered how shy the two of them were when she was drinking with them, but now things have progressed to this point.
"Are you engaged?" Ye Jiu asked.
"Of course!! Once Guan Qinghuai is old enough, we can get our marriage certificate!! We'll have our wedding right after we graduate from university." Tian Tian happily shared her progress with Guan Qinghuai over the past three years, and Ye Jiu listened with great interest.
"Oh, by the way, be my bridesmaid! You can't get married before me!" Tian Tian said, lowering her voice. "By the way, how are you and... Su Qingyue doing?"
Ye Jiu chuckled. "No need to be so careful. Does Su Qingyue look like the kind of person who would let go? Besides, am I the kind of woman who would flirt and then not take responsibility?!"
Tian Tian felt relieved and joked, "Actually, you seem like it. Back in high school, I felt that your dream was to go to clubs and pick up male models every day. I never thought you would 'go straight'."
Ye Jiu choked on her prepared words. Damn it, this brat was right! She almost went to a club...
Ye Jiu glanced at Su Qingyue, who was reading documents, out of the corner of her eye, but she was quite satisfied with this perfect woman.
Su Qingyue caught her guilty look and asked, "What mischief have you been up to now?"
Ye Jiu shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, I just missed you and wanted to see you."
Su Qingyue smiled helplessly. Although the answer wasn't the truth, it pleased him. Oh well, as long as it wasn't too much.
Ye Jiu then asked Tian Tian, "Have you ordered rings yet? Do you have any recommendations? I'd like to order a pair too."
Tian Tian was naturally very enthusiastic, and she went through all the homework she had done back then to explain it to Ye Jiu one by one. After listening, Ye Jiu had already made up her mind. She made an appointment with Tian Tian for the next meeting and then hung up the phone.
Ye Jiu went through the pros and cons of the various wedding ring designers that Tian Tian had sent her one by one, communicated with them via WeChat to get the design drawings, and used her financial resources to expedite the process. After receiving a reply that she could get the ring in half a month, Ye Jiu was satisfied and turned off her phone.
Getting the engagement ring is a very important step in getting things done, and you must show enthusiasm for it.
——
Over the next two weeks, life gradually returned to normal. Su Qingyue went to work during the day, and Ye Jiu would occasionally go to the company to keep him company or bring him food, but don't expect her to cook; she would just order takeout and repackage it.
Ye Jiu was honest and told him directly that it was takeout, but she heated it up after receiving it, so it was practically something she made herself, which made Su Qingyue both laugh and cry.
Since Ye Jiu returned, the entire company has been very grateful to her. Whenever Ye Jiu comes to visit, no matter how big a mistake they make, they can get away with a scolding. Although they still have to stay up all night to revise the plans, at least they get away with a scolding! Every mealtime, the employees wish for Ye Jiu to come to the company. They look forward to it when they go to work and when they leave work.
