Chapter 47 He Wouldn't Want to Expose Her
He was about to go back, but Jin Ye blocked him in front of him and said, "Maybe the perfume bottle in the cabinet fell down. It was windy today, and I was in a hurry to get out, so I don't know if it was stable. It's noon now, brother, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
Mrs. Wei's attention was diverted. "Go down quickly."
I knocked on Wei Liangchen's door next door, but no one answered.
"This child, is he still asleep?"
"My second brother must have been busy until very late last night." Jin Ye was surprised again.
Mrs. Wei: "Yes, I heard that he just came back this morning. Let him sleep for a while. If you wake him up, he will shoot someone."
It's all thanks to this guy's bad temper.
Wei Yanting had just returned and had just moved things into the room next to Wei Liangchen. When the servant went over to tell him that everything had been put away, Jin Ye happened to come down.
He was wearing a black suit, which gave him a more noble and cool air than a long gown. He was talking to the governor and turned around when he heard the servant's reply.
Jin Ye's sight met his.
"Brother." She greeted him obediently.
"Yeah." Wei Yanting nodded. "I heard that you were kidnapped by Yun Qing. Are you scared?"
"A little bit." Jin Ye felt a little warm in his heart, "Thank you for your concern, brother."
Mrs. Wei said, "We came here in a hurry this time, so the house is a bit messy. Let's just live here for now. Xiaojin and I will decorate it properly in the afternoon."
"No trouble, this is good enough." Wei Yanting said.
Mrs. Wei smiled and went to prepare dinner with the servant. Jin Ye pulled the collar of her cheongsam a little nervously. Fortunately, the collar of her cheongsam was relatively high and covered the marks on her neck.
This morning in the bathroom, Wei Liangchen suddenly acted like a vampire, sucking on her neck and refusing to let go.
"Brother, is there something important that brought you back this time?" Jin Ye asked.
Wei Yanting said, "Come back and help father destroy the local fireworks. The higher-ups take this matter very seriously."
"Oh. How many days will Big Brother stay in Haicheng?"
"If everything goes well, five or six days."
Jin Ye smiled sweetly, "That's great, I can see my brother for so many days."
"Then I will too—"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by an unhappy voice, "Third sister, you still have to go back to class."
Wei Liangchen walked down leisurely, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Brother is back."
Jin Ye originally wanted to stay in Haicheng for a few days to watch the grand event of destroying the earth fireworks, but being interrupted by him like this, she was speechless and could only glare at him secretly.
Wei Liangchen pretended not to receive it, but his eyes darkened.
Wei Yanting said: "You did a great job this time, and the President highly appreciates you."
"I know." Wei Liangchen's usual arrogant look, the arc of his mouth even bigger, "Brother, you don't know, this time I killed two birds with one stone, I spent a lot of thought on it."
The governor was promoted and took over Huan Province. In order to save his son, Yun Bang's son completely withdrew from the water route. Zhou San listened to the governor's words, which meant that the water route also became the property of the Wei family. Of course, the eldest brother also benefited indirectly.
"I will never let you hide this from me again." General Wei was in a good mood and didn't say much, "Let's go eat."
Wei Jiaqi also changed her clothes and came down. She glanced at Jin Ye, and seeing that she was fine, she snorted arrogantly.
"Jiaqi is here too?" Jinye was a little surprised.
"Why can't I come? I heard last night that my brother was injured, so I took the train here before dawn. But I was harassed by a little hooligan at the train station. I was so angry."
Wei Jiaqi grumbled, holding Wei Liangchen's arm, "Brother, I heard that you hurt your waist?"
Jin Ye thought: It’s fine.
Wei Liangchen smiled and said, "It's just a minor wound, like a cat scratch." As he said that, he looked at Jin Ye meaningfully.
Jin Ye quickly looked away.
The layout of the restaurant here is the same as that in Suzhou. If you are not careful, you might think you are in the Governor's Mansion in Suzhou. This time, Mrs. Wei and Wei Jiaqi sat down first, and Wei Liangchen sat next to them.
Jin Ye saw that his eldest brother was alone again, so he went to sit next to him.
The man opposite gave her a stern look.
But this time, Jin Ye pretended not to see it.
Wei Liangchen gritted his teeth, and then rubbed his nose and face.
Wei Yanting glanced at his brother across from him and said, "I heard that Miss Ning is missing. Do you have any news about her, brother?"
Ning Xiujun is missing? Jin Ye raised his eyes and looked at Wei Liangchen.
Wei Liangchen smiled lazily, "No, she ran away. But after General Ning died, she was like a dog without a home. I guess she won't have a good life if she returns to Huicheng."
Jin Ye was shocked. He went to hunt down Ning Xiujun?
Wei Jiaqi's eyes widened. "Second brother, you are so cruel. I thought you had something going on with her."
"You saw it with your eye." Wei Liangchen said immediately, "I was just laying the groundwork for confusion."
He glanced at the girl across from him and said, "I never liked her from the beginning to the end."
Mrs. Wei coughed and said, "Speak more politely."
How dare you talk about me in front of me?
Governor Wei was obviously used to it. "The marriage with the Ning family has failed. What are your plans next?"
Wei Liangchen's eyebrows darkened and he sneered, "Why, are you in a hurry to find a new employer for me?"
Suddenly, he grinned, "I do have one."
The whole family looked at him.
The action of picking up food stopped.
Jinye's heart also skipped a beat and he almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand.
He wouldn't want to expose her, would he? But her brother's words made her feel that her sudden idea was ridiculous.
"Is Miss Ling coming back?" Wei Yanting said, "I heard from Chief Ling that the date has been brought forward. The cruise ship she is taking will arrive at Haicheng Pier the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow!" said Mrs. Wei.
Governor Wei thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Miss Ling is not bad either. You were almost engaged before, but she suddenly left our house crying. It's not that she doesn't want you, it must be that you bullied her. If you coax her, maybe she will come back."
"Who wants to coax her?" Wei Liangchen said with a half-smile, "Does my marriage have to be arranged by marriage? Am I just your tool or something?"
Governor Wei choked and slammed his chopsticks on the table. "Your status means you can only marry a woman of equal status. Do you want to follow the example of Governor Ma's son in Guangxi Province and marry a young actress? Later, he killed the young actress with his own hands before he could go home."
Jin Ye's eyelids twitched.
Wei Liangchen narrowed his eyes, and the veins on his hand holding the chopsticks throbbed, "What do you mean?"
"I heard from your mother that you have a woman outside. If she is not a decent person, either break up with her or wait until you get married and then take her as your concubine."
Jinye's heart felt like it was being clamped by a clamp.
Sure enough, she shouldn't have any fantasies.
Seeing that the father and son were getting a little tense, Mrs. Wei hurried to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, there's no rush. Let's wait until the Ning family's matter is over. Besides, Miss Ren Ling may not be able to be coaxed back."
"Yes." Wei Jiaqi was also perceptive. "Dad, my brother and her have been separated for three years. It's not easy to go back to the old ways."
"What do you understand?" Governor Wei couldn't bear to lose his temper with the little girl, so his tone softened.
Mrs. Wei wanted to divert attention. "Let's talk about Jin Ye and Mr. Zhou first. What I mean is, after the smoking cessation, let them get engaged first."
"What do you think, Xiaojin?" asked the governor.
Jin Ye didn't dare to look around, but he could still feel the strong light coming from the opposite side.
This moment was extremely painful for her.
She found it difficult to manage her facial expressions.
Once again I regret not studying acting.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I...want to get engaged during the winter vacation at the end of the year. Is that okay?"
We cannot offend either side, so we can only drag it out.
She looked a little pitiful, as if she was not getting married but going to a grave.
Wei Yanting was right next to her. His eyes stayed on her tangled hands holding the handkerchief for two seconds, and he suddenly said, "The holiday won't affect your studies, and it doesn't matter if you have that little time."
Jin Ye was startled and looked at him, thinking that her brother was helping her.
Mrs. Wei looked at him thoughtfully, because Wei Yanting never interfered in these matters. "Why not during the summer vacation? The summer vacation is coming soon, and it won't waste time."
"Too hasty."
"Too hasty."
When Jin Ye mustered up the courage to speak, his eldest brother also said something at the same time.
She glanced at him again in surprise.
Wei Yanting just smiled.
There was a sudden "pop" sound from the opposite side. It was the chopsticks that fell to the ground. Wei Liangchen narrowed his eyes and said, "The chopsticks are too slippery."
Jin Ye saw veins throbbing on his clenched fingers and quickly looked away.
Governor Wei was always easy to talk to, so he nodded and said, "Alright, let's do as Yan Ting said."
Jin Ye heaved a sigh of relief, and his eyes brightened.
Suddenly, she felt a slight pain in her foot, and someone hit her calf with the tip of a shoe.
She quickly glanced at the opposite side. Wei Liangchen's black eyes flashed coldly, and the corners of his mouth were hooked in a creepy arc, "Congratulations in advance, third sister."
Jin Ye's heart trembled, and he forced a smile, "Thank you, second brother."
The little mole at the corner of Wei Liangchen's eye jumped.
The long legs stretched forward. Jin Ye was prepared and moved her feet away. Her calves accidentally touched her elder brother. She quickly pulled them back. Wei Yanting's expression did not change.
The next moment, Wei Liangchen's eyes narrowed, "Brother, your legs are too long."
Wei Yanting: "Not as tall as my second brother."
Wei Liangchen: “…”
No one knew what they were talking about. Mrs. Wei glanced at them and said, "Let's do this. Let's eat first. I don't know if Yan Ting has come back and hasn't prepared too many dishes. Let's just have one meal first."
But it is also very abundant.
Governor Wei asked Wei Yanting, "The Jiaoao incident caused a huge uproar this time. Does Beicheng plan to release the students?" There were student petitions in Haicheng, Sucheng and other places. He was also troubled by the people arrested by the police and asked him how to deal with them.
"Those detained students were not tortured, right?" Wei Yanting asked.
"I don't dare to torture him, I just want to scare the ignorant kid."
As he spoke, Governor Wei glanced at Jin Ye and said, "I heard that one of your classmates is also there?"
Jin Ye nodded, "Yes, he is a friend who takes good care of me. I beg... Master Zhou to help release him."
Someone across from me sneered.
"You didn't join the petition, did you?" Mrs. Wei asked, "Please don't cause trouble for your Uncle Wei."
"I didn't participate. But..."
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Wei Yanting said, "It's okay, tell me your opinion."
"What opinion could she have? She's just talking nonsense." Wei Jiaqi didn't understand why her elder brother was so nice to her.
Xu Jinye had been thrown out by her second brother twice before. The last time, it was her eldest brother who brought her back and asked her father to beat her second brother.
Later one day she saw Wei Jiaxin in Xu Jinye's room, reading a poem, saying it was about her elder brother or something. Xu Jinye was so embarrassed that he tore up the poem.
Out of curiosity, she looked in the paper basket and pieced the pieces together. Oh, Xu Jinye actually admired her elder brother?
It was from then on that she started to have opinions about Xu Jinye, thinking that she was too greedy. It was not enough for her to live in their house, but she also coveted a big shot like her eldest brother.
Jin Ye ignored Wei Jiaqi, but still asked cautiously, "Can I really say it?"
"Of course." Wei Yanting's eyes became softer and encouraging.
Jin Ye looked at the governor, Wei Liangchen... the latter had a dark face, so he didn't have to look at him. "As the ancients said, it is difficult to offend the public and difficult to achieve one's own desires. The island clearance incident has already aroused public outrage across the country, and it may intensify in the future. In addition to students from all over the country, perhaps the business community will also respond. If Uncle Wei uses the prestige of destroying the local fireworks this time and releases the students, not only can the government win back the hearts of the people, but it may also win praise from people from all walks of life."
She spoke softly, but every word was clear, and her bright eyes sparkled with a sparkling light that startled everyone.
Wei Liangchen looked at her, and something seemed to flash in his eyes.
