The others breathed a sigh of relief, but were also a little worried, and began to whisper amongst themselves—
"What's wrong with Dongdong? He used to be so cute and well-behaved, but this time he's being incredibly willful."
"I don't know, but if the Ye family finds out about this, no, if my parents find out, I'll get a scolding!"
"She'll only be a junior in high school when school starts, she's a freshman now, so we've failed to take good care of her. We'll probably have to go and apologize."
"..."
It's not that everyone was unaware of Ye Dong's troublemaking this time, but no matter how angry or annoyed they were, Ye Dong's significance to their generation was different.
Lu Congjun rubbed his throbbing temples.
Ye Dong is considered the most beloved member of the family in this generation, not only because she is young, but also because she is the only granddaughter in the Ye family.
Also because she looks exactly like Ye Qiu.
Although they were born after the liberation, the country was in a state of disrepair and many of their parents and grandparents were busy with production and construction or guarding various places, and there were many upheavals.
Many people are away from home for long periods of time, and there's simply no time to take care of them.
Unlike now, when things are much more stable and some parents are starting to retire, they can take care of their grandchildren. Back then, the nannies in each household just fed the children; they couldn't teach them anything.
When I was a child, all the children in the same compound grew up together.
Sister Ye Qiu was the leader of the children. From the time she was old enough to understand things, she took care of a group of little kids in the compound. As they grew up together, she had to comfort one of them and not let them fight, and keep an eye on another to make sure they didn't skip school.
Everyone in the compound, from the elders to the younger generation, disliked Sister Ye Qiu.
Most of them had received care and kindness from Sister Ye Qiu. After Sister Ye Qiu left, and Dongdong looked so much like Sister Qiu, everyone gave her all their love and indulgence.
This is them trying to make up for their regrets about Sister Ye Qiu, and also to remember her, but...
“Dongdong wasn’t like this before, he was always so well-behaved. Sigh, how are we going to explain this to Ye Yuan? Brother Rong, why don’t you talk to Ye Yuan and tell him not to let Old Master Ye know about this?” Someone secretly glanced at Rong Zhaonan.
None of Ye's uncles and elders live in the capital, and even his two younger brothers in the grandchildren's generation don't live there. Ye Yuan and Rong Zhaonan are the closest to each other, except for Chen Chen.
The whole thing was caused by Rong Taisui. If he were willing to step in, Ye Yuan would definitely give him face.
Rong Zhaonan raised his cold eyes and looked at the others: "This matter has nothing to do with you. It's my problem. I will explain to the Ye family. You can go back now. Don't you have to go to work this afternoon?"
Lu Congjun had a headache and muttered, "You're kidding me! Let's see how Ye Yuan explains himself, he'll explode! But I've already had someone notify him to come over!"
Ye Dong, that little girl, was crying and making a fuss. She wasn't satisfied with just holding Rong Zhaonan's hand; she insisted on being held in his arms. Even the doctor couldn't handle it.
Rong Zhaonan got annoyed, so he grabbed Ye Dong, had someone give her a sedative injection, and simply knocked her out!
This is Rong Tai Sui's "appeasement and care".
Those who know him will think it's just a little girl being silly, but those who don't know him are dealing with the enemy.
This younger brother has always been such a jerk!
Rong Zhaonan's words reassured the others, and they began to whisper among themselves about how to prepare gifts to visit or take care of them after they returned.
Seeing that most of the others had left, the girl who had invited Ye Dong to sit next to her, named Peng Qianjin, hesitated for a moment and did not leave.
"What's wrong, Qianjin?" Lu Congjun asked upon seeing this.
Peng Qianjin walked over to Rong Zhaonan and whispered, "Actually, the one who felt most wronged today was your sister-in-law."
Men may not understand, but she is a woman and can understand Ning Yuan.
But the high school freshman girl stubbornly refused to admit it. If you insisted that she had something going on with an older brother, to outsiders, it would definitely not be this high school sophomore girl who would find it disgusting.
Moreover, given Dongdong's special status and her appearance, everyone, especially the elders, still sees her through the lens of Ye Qiu.
Moreover, matters of the heart are hard to explain.
She felt that Dongdong was too young, unlike the mature and steady eldest sister Ye Qiu. Dongdong might not understand what her feelings for Rong Zhaonan were.
Is Dongdong genuinely in love with Rong Taisui, or is it because she believes Rong Taisui belongs to her sister and therefore dislikes other women, stubbornly insisting on possessing Rong Taisui exclusively?
But even with such natural advantages, this little girl can be incredibly destructive when she gets into trouble.
“My sister-in-law is still in college, only 21 or 22 years old. She’s really something. Go back and comfort her.” Peng Qianjin sighed.
She's not much older than Dongdong, yet she still has to put up with this.
Rong Zhaonan was silent for a moment, then rubbed his temples with his fingers, his expression complicated: "I know."
"Sister Qianjin, let's go!" the others called out.
Peng Qianjin nodded to Rong Zhaonan: "We're leaving now."
After everyone else left, Lu Congjun gave a wry smile: "You stay here to take care of Dongdong, I need to go back first to tell my father about this, and then get Dongdong some clean clothes!"
Ye Dong needed to be hospitalized, and he had to run around taking care of everything. It was really...heartbreaking.
The key point is that he organized this game, and apart from Rong Zhaonan, he was the person primarily responsible.
"If Dongdong keeps acting like this, it's unbearable." Lu Congjun became increasingly irritated as he thought about it.
Dongdong and Qiujie are completely different.
Rong Zhaonan's handsome features were slightly cold as he said indifferently, "Ye Yuan failed to raise his sister well."
Grandpa Ye's health has been poor due to the hidden injuries and shrapnel left from decades of fighting, and he has been recuperating at the Beidaihe Sanatorium in recent years.
Most of the time, Ye Yuan raised Dongdong as both a father and a mother.
"Go pay the fees and register. It's our fault for spoiling her too much." Lu Congjun shook his head, muttered, and walked away.
Rong Zhaonan nodded silently.
...
When Ye Dong woke up, the sun was already setting.
She groggily opened her eyes and saw a figure sitting against the light beside her, holding her hand.
She instinctively tightened her grip on his hand and softly called out, "Brother Zhaonan."
"Your brother Zhaonan went to get you food," Ye Yuan said coldly.
Ye Dong woke up abruptly, saw Ye Yuan, and pouted, "Oh..."
After saying that, she let go.
"Are you out of your mind? You rolled down the stairs yourself! If Mom, Dad, and Grandpa knew you did this for a man, a married man at that, they'd beat you to death!" Ye Yuan was so angry he almost laughed.
Once they found out he was her brother, she stopped holding hands?
Ye Dong instantly felt wronged: "Brother, I'm not crazy, I didn't do it on purpose, I just fell because I was in a hurry... I'm already like this, and you're still scolding me!"
As she spoke, she choked up.
