Chapter 924 Ye Dongming?! (Part 3)
"Ye Yao?"
Cai Qingyuan called Ye Yao's name for the third time.
Ye Yao finally came back to his senses.
"Uncle Cai, I have to go out for something. You can take care of the store's affairs."
After saying this, without even giving Cai Qingyuan a chance to speak, his figure disappeared outside the studio door.
Cai Qingyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't help but mutter something.
"What happened to this girl? Why does she look like she has lost her soul?"
Originally, she was asked to go with them to see the store, but now only he and Liu Wentao could go.
…
Ye Yao stood in front of the dilapidated rental house and hesitated for five minutes.
Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, the rusty door opened from the inside.
With a sharp sound, the man from last night walked out.
He obviously didn't expect Ye Yao to be standing at the door, and was startled. When he came to his senses, a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Miss, you are really here, please come in!"
Ye Yao hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and followed him in.
The yard is very small, with three dilapidated adobe houses, and even weeds growing all around.
The lighting in the house is extremely dim, and you need to open the door to see the whole picture inside.
A wooden table, two benches and an earthen bed were all she could see.
"Please take a seat."
The man greeted her warmly, even wiping one of the benches with his sleeve before placing it in front of her.
Ye Yao's cheeks were tense from beginning to end.
Such living conditions are even worse than before.
"Have you...always lived here?"
"It's been here for the past four or five years. Although the place is a bit run-down, it doesn't cost much rent."
The man was hunched over, and his whole body exuded an air of humility.
If it weren't for his face, Ye Yao really didn't want to believe that he had lived to this point!
"So what do you do for a living?"
She asked expressionlessly.
For some reason, she didn't feel the slightest bit of favor towards the man in front of her who was most likely her father.
Even when she saw how destitute and miserable he was, she remained calm as if she was facing a completely unrelated person.
"I used to work as a laborer on construction sites and in the miners, and I could barely make a living. But in the past two years, I've gotten older and older, and my body is no longer useful. I can only make a living by picking up scraps."
The man answered almost every question Ye Yao asked, but he looked a little embarrassed at the end.
Ye Yao's eyes deepened. "Excuse me for asking, where are you from? Or is there anyone else in your family?"
She stared at his face, not missing any tiny expression on his face.
This time the man was obviously stunned and did not answer immediately like before.
"If you don't want to talk, it's okay..."
"It's not that I don't think about it, but some things are too embarrassing to say. But I'm already so old, it doesn't matter.
Since the lady wants to listen, I will tell you.
Actually, I am a local, and I have family, but I did something wrong 16 years ago, so I don’t have the face to see them anymore.”
The man sighed heavily, feeling extremely guilty, his eyes even reddened.
Ye Yao's eyes were sharp, and he continued to ask, "What's wrong?"
