Chapter 700: The Beauty Trap (IX)
"It's hard to explain this matter in just a few words. We have to wait until Yaoyao and I return."
If it was just a simple grudge between him and Wang Guihua, it would be easy to deal with, but now it involves Ye Dongming's identity.
With the girl's intelligence, once she knew that Ye Dongming risked his life to save her mother, she would quickly suspect something.
And this was also what Zhang Qiufeng meant. She must not be ready to accept him again.
The house is a mess now.
"I still don't understand. My aunt has such a big thing at home. As a daughter, doesn't Ye Yao have the right to know?"
Zheng Lu found it unbelievable, but Li Cheng was not the kind of person who would ignore the overall situation.
Why did he feel like a fool? He always knew less than others.
"Don't ask me. I can't explain some things to you clearly. But the situation at home is definitely not as bad as you think.
If my aunt was really in danger, I would have taken Yaoyao back home a long time ago."
Li Cheng said this very affirmatively.
Zheng Lu looked at his calm appearance and finally realized something.
"Are you saying that Xiaoying deliberately exaggerated the seriousness of the matter to me?"
This possibility made him feel very uncomfortable and he was unwilling to believe it.
He already felt very guilty when he questioned Huang Ying on the phone just now.
Li Cheng nodded.
The room fell silent instantly.
The atmosphere was indescribably depressing.
"I thought Xiaoying had completely let it go."
Zheng Lu smiled bitterly and murmured.
So she said this to him on purpose?
Was it to get him to tell Ye Yao about this and have them go back quickly? He was being used.
Li Cheng patted his shoulder and could see that he was very hurt.
"No matter what Huang Ying says to you or asks you to do in the future, you must confirm with me first. And you must not tell her Ye Yao's contact information, understand?"
"I understand. What else is there to not understand?"
…
Ye Yao put down the microphone, his face full of confusion.
"What's wrong? Is there no one at home to answer the phone?"
Wang Ying took a shower, changed her clothes, and when she came out she was seen holding the microphone, but she didn't say anything and put it back.
Ye Yao nodded and glanced at the time.
Seven twenty.
It's already this late, where else can they go?
And even Wang Da Kui was not at home.
Just as she was about to call back later, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll go open the door."
Wang Ying ran towards the door excitedly.
The door opened, and Li Cheng and Zheng Lu were both outside.
The moment she saw Li Cheng, she felt guilty and embarrassed. After all, she had deceived him all day by pretending to be Ye Yao.
"Yaoyao, let's go eat."
Actually, it’s getting late, but because they have been busy since they came back, they have been delayed until now.
Ye Yao nodded, still thinking about home.
"I just called home, but no one answered. I don't know where my mom and the others have gone."
Zheng Lu subconsciously looked at Li Cheng.
It would probably not be that easy to keep this a secret from her, right? But what he didn't expect was that Li Cheng immediately took over.
"What a coincidence! I just called home and my dad answered the phone. He said my aunt and my mom went out for a walk."
Zheng Lu: …
Is this still their upright editor-in-chief Li who never bothers to tell lies?
