Chapter 126: Interrogation
Director Liu instructed her early this morning to ask Zheng Jiaojiao to go to the post office.
Aunt Wang has served the Yan family for so many years, so she can understand Liu Ye's thoughts to some extent.
Most likely, a telegram or even a letter had been sent to Zheng Jiaojiao's parents. As for the content, it was mostly a euphemism to express that Zheng Jiaojiao had stayed in the Yan family long enough and it was time for her to go back and visit as the New Year was approaching.
What Wang Ma didn't expect was that Zheng Jiaojiao didn't have a single trace of sadness on her face.
This is completely different from the state of mind in the past few days when he insisted on staying at Yan's house.
Not only that, Zheng Jiaojiao seemed to be in a good mood and stepped into the kitchen for the first time.
It had been several months since she last entered the kitchen.
Could it be that she guessed wrong? Director Liu didn't mean to ask her to go back.
While cooking, Aunt Wang secretly observed the expression on the woman's face and asked tentatively.
"Jiaojiao, how was your visit to the telegraph office today? Did it go well?"
Zheng Jiaojiao understood the meaning behind Wang Ma's words, paused what she was doing, and felt angry.
Zheng Jiaojiao couldn't even accept Liu Ye asking her to leave, let alone Wang Ma's tentative tone.
Zheng Jiaojiao wanted to lose her temper immediately, but when she thought about what she was going to do next, she held it back.
She pinched the food in her hand, lowered her eyes and couldn't see her expression clearly, and said in a calm tone: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I've been here for so many days, and my parents miss me a little."
After saying this, Zheng Jiaojiao felt relieved and continued talking.
"I plan to go back before the New Year."
"Thanks to your care these days, Auntie and Auntie Wang. I will send you some local specialties when I return."
"Oh, no need. You can buy anything in the capital." Aunt Wang procrastinated.
Seeing that Zheng Jiaojiao's tone seemed to indicate that she had really accepted it, she was surprised and thought to herself that she was overthinking it.
Wang Ma was not the only one who was surprised. When Liu Ye came home from work and saw the steaming food on the table, before she could say anything, Wang Ma started praising Zheng Jiaojiao.
Hearing that Zheng Jiaojiao came back and helped Wang Ma in the kitchen and cleaned the living room, Liu Ye frowned and felt that something was wrong.
Zheng Jiaojiao took the initiative to step forward and grabbed the woman's wrist with her backhand, "Aunt, I went to the post office today and wrote a letter to my family. I will be back in a week."
"Jiaojiao can't bear to leave you."
Zheng Jiaojiao pouted her lips and spoke coquettishly.
As she spoke, she glanced at Liu Ye's expression, only to see the woman seemed to be relieved and pulled her arm out.
"Okay, let's eat first."
Liu Ye sat down first. Zheng Jiaojiao was stunned and answered subconsciously: "My uncle and the others haven't come back yet."
"No need to wait for them."
The woman said, and seeing Zheng Jiaojiao hadn't moved, she looked at her face and explained, "Yan Ye has gone to the army. I don't know if he will come back to eat."
When she heard that they were going to the army, Zheng Jiaojiao interrupted Liu Ye and said, "But, but my uncle is going out with Xu Xiaoyue."
Zheng Jiaojiao deliberately raised her voice, turned to look at Wang Ma, and added: "Wang Ma saw it too."
The veins on Liu Ye's forehead jumped, and her gaze fell on Wang Ma.
"Auntie Wang, did Xiaoyue and Xiaoye go out together?"
Aunt Wang moved her lips, holding the handkerchief in her hand, and was stunned for a moment without saying anything.
How could she dare to say that not only did the two of them go out together, but they also behaved very intimately.
"say!"
Seeing that Aunt Wang was hesitant, Liu Ye threw her chopsticks on the table with a clinking sound, and her tone became louder.
Zheng Jiaojiao took two steps back in fright. She blurted out the whole thing in a hurry, and she didn't expect Liu Ye's reaction to be so big.
Zheng Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, but this was also a good idea.
The bigger Liu Ye's reaction was, the more it proved that she was more resistant to the contact between Yan Ye and Xu Xiaoyue.
Before Wang Ma could speak, she honestly confessed that Xu Xiaoyue not only went out with Yan Ye, but also behaved very intimately.
After Zheng Jiaojiao finished her "complaint", Liu Ye's face had become so gloomy that it was unbearable to look at.
She sat on the stool with her eyes downcast, not knowing what she was thinking.
Liu Ye didn't say anything, and Wang Ma didn't dare to move.
As for Zheng Jiaojiao, she was just watching the fun, hoping that Liu Ye's emotions would get more intense. It would be best if she could wait for Xu Xiaoyue to come back and let her pack up and leave that night.
As the few of them were in a stalemate, the sound of a door opening was heard from the living room.
Xu Xiaoyue was stunned as soon as she took off her shoes and entered the house.
Liu Ye was sitting at the dining table and looking at her with a strange look in her eyes, which was hard to say was good, nor was it bad.
Wang Ma stood aside, blinking frantically to signal herself.
"Why don't you go in, huh?"
Yan Ye followed behind, reached out and gently pushed the girl's back, and the two of them appeared in front of the crowd together.
Xu Xiaoyue was inexplicably a little scared. She always felt that something happened during the time she was away that she didn't know about, and it might be a big thing.
"Auntie Wang, bring two sets of bowls and chopsticks."
Yan Ye seemed to have sensed nothing and turned around to give instructions to Wang Ma.
"Yeah, all right."
Aunt Wang hid in the kitchen and kept an eye on what was happening outside.
"Why did you come back together?"
Liu Ye asked, looking at Xu Xiaoyue sharply.
"us…"
"I took her to the army."
Before Xu Xiaoyue could figure out how to start her conversation, Yan Ye interrupted her and put his big hand around the girl's waist to soothe her.
"Is there anything that requires Xu Xiaoyue to go to the army with you?"
Liu Ye glanced at Xu Xiaoyue with a scrutinizing look, which was different from her usual gentleness.
Xu Xiaoyue was stunned. Her mind had been confused from the moment she entered the door until now. Only now did she finally react.
Could it be that Liu Ye knew that she was dating Yan Ye?
Xu Xiaoyue was still thinking. The next second, Yan Ye stepped forward from behind her, firmly blocking Liu Ye's sight. He said calmly, "Sister-in-law, let's go upstairs and talk."
Liu Ye was just suspicious at first, but she could probably figure out Yan Ye's character.
There are countless lesbians chasing after him on a daily basis. If a man is really lustful, he would have solved the important issue of getting married and starting a family long ago.
She was only half-believing and half-doubting what Zheng Jiaojiao said. Before she could say anything unpleasant to Xu Xiaoyue, Yan Ye could no longer hold back.
Now, what else could Liu Ye not understand?
Her chest heaved, and everything in front of her eyes seemed to go dark. She stood up from the stool with weak feet and walked upstairs.
Yan Ye turned around and squeezed Xu Xiaoyue's hand, "Let's eat first."
Xu Xiaoyue shook her head and her face turned pale.
How could she eat at this time?
