Ye Qiang immediately picked up the check, looked left and right and found that no one knew about it, so he sneaked back home and immediately put on the safety pin.
Xu Guihong was mad at Ye Qiang for taking so long and leaving her alone at home. Just as she was about to lose her temper, she saw Ye Qiang walking towards her with a sly smile on his face, "Wife, look what this is?" Ye Qiang raised the paper between his fingers.
As the saying goes, people of the same family are alike. Xu Guihong saw it with her sharp eyes. She snatched it away and saw the number on the check. Her eyes lit up and she asked, "Where did you steal it?"
Ye Qiang looked at her with contempt, "Woman's heart! This is a big boss who offered himself to me."
Xu Guihong felt that the matter was not simple. She sat down on the sofa and asked, "Who is that big boss? Why did he give you so much money?"
"He has a condition." Ye Qiang peeled the peanuts in his hand and put them into his mouth one by one.
"What conditions?"
"We can't disturb Ye Shuo and Ye Ruohuan in the future." Ye Qiang was puzzled. What was the relationship between that man and Ye Ruohuan and Ye Shuo? He actually offered to pay him back?
"What?" Xu Guihong looked at Ye Qiang in disbelief and snatched the beer from his hand. "Explain it to me clearly! What do you mean by not disturbing these two people?"
"That's what I mean," Ye Qiang snatched back his beer and took a big gulp, "I'm afraid that man is crazy and is spending money on that little girl?" After saying that, he looked at the beer in his hand with contempt, as if he was glaring at his niece.
Hearing this, Xu Guihong finally understood and became angry. She slapped Ye Qiang on the back of his head, "I think you are crazy! Why did you agree to that man's conditions? Don't you know that it would be better to tie up your niece and live with her?"
Ye Qiang rubbed his head and retorted unhappily, "I thought about it! But didn't you see that girl was determined to ignore us? Why not just pay off the debt and live a peaceful life with the little money left."
Xu Guihong looked at the coward beside her unwillingly. His brain and eyes didn’t work well either!
In the end, the two compromised, found Brother Biao, paid off their debts, and immediately packed up their bags and hid away.
That night, Ye Shuo came to Ye Ruohuan's room with a wrinkled face and looked unhappy.
Ye Ruohuan felt distressed when she saw him, so she walked over, picked him up, and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Xiao Ye..." Ye Shuo suddenly hugged Ye Ruohuan's neck and refused to let go. It was obvious that Ye Shuo must have been left with psychological trauma during the few days he stayed at his uncle's house. Ye Ruohuan felt distressed when seeing this. She didn't know what to do, so she looked at Fu Yijian beside her for help.
Fu Yijian pursed his lips, touched Ye Shuo's little head, and said, "Ye Shuo, can you have an adult conversation with your brother?"
Communication between adults?
Ye Shuo raised his drooping head and looked at him in confusion. Ye Ruohuan also looked puzzled. Suddenly, Ye Shuo stretched out his hand to Fu Yijian, "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"
He inexplicably believed in Fu Yijian. Perhaps in his heart, Fu Yijian was a very powerful person, which made him feel safe.
Fu Yijian patted his head and carried him to the study, "Let's go to the study and talk." After saying that, he gave Ye Ruohuan a comforting look.
"Brother, do you have a father?" Ye Shuo and Fu Yijian sat on the tatami in the study, looking at the moon outside the floor-to-ceiling window. The room was pitch black, with only the cool glow of the moonlight shining in.
Hearing this question, Fu Yijian was obviously stunned for a moment. His expression could not be seen in the darkness. He moved his lips and said, "Yes."
"How does he treat you?" Ye Shuo asked curiously.
Fu Yijian seemed to be reminded of some memories, and he answered in a low voice: "Not good, very bad... When I was a child, he was always busy and not at home, and I only saw him a few times a year. I was sad at that time, but I gradually let it go after I grew up. Now that I think about it, there is nothing wrong with it, because my brother treated me very well before, and made up for the father's love."
Ye Shuo lowered his head and said in confusion: "Brother, my father is also... not good to me, but I don't hate him. I just want to have a father by my side like other children."
Fu Yijian curled his lips, clasped the back of Ye Shuo's head with his big hands and rubbed it, "I'm an experienced person and I can understand you, but, Ye Shuo, you have grown up and become a little man. Don't forget that you still have a sister. You still have to protect your sister in the future."
Ye Shuo seemed to be awakened. He raised his head and looked at Fu Yijian in the moonlight, "Brother, thank you."
Fu Yijian smiled: "You're welcome."
Ye Ruohuan sat on the sofa and waited for a long time. Finally, with a click, the study door opened. As soon as she stood up, a small figure rushed out of the study, hugged her thigh and said, "Xiao Ye, I will protect you."
Ye Ruohuan was stunned for a moment, then squatted down and said, "Okay, okay, listen to your sister. You will eat well and sleep well in the future. Promise your sister." She stretched out her little finger and looked at Ye Shuo with bright eyes.
Ye Shuo hooked his finger on it, looked at Ye Ruohuan steadily and said, "Xiao Ye, I am a man now, and I will protect you in the future." He repeated his words.
Ye Ruohuan's eyes sparkled, and she asked with a smile, "Who taught you?"
"My brother said so." Ye Shuo looked back at Fu Yijian who was leaning against the door of the study. He was looking at them with a smile on his face. Ye Ruohuan was surprised to see him and met Fu Yijian's deep eyes, which were as charming as when they first met. She stammered, "Okay."
Ye Ruohuan hugged Ye Shuo, looked in the direction of Fu Yijian, and mouthed - "Fu Yijian, thank you." She closed her eyes and shed tears of happiness.
Fu Yijian frowned, walked over, lightly brushed Ye Ruohuan's fair face with his fingers, and said venomously: "Don't cry, your face will be uglier if you cry any more."
Ye Shuo left Ye Ruohuan's embrace, and rubbed Ye Ruohuan's face with his chubby little hands. While rubbing, he said, "Sister, don't cry. Ye Shuo will be very good."
However, as soon as she said this, Ye Ruohuan cried even harder.
"Hey, let me do it," Fu Yijian couldn't bear it anymore, he picked up Ye Ruohuan and put her on his lap, gently wiping her fair little face, "You made my woman cry, this is the only time, it won't happen again." He patted Ye Shuo's head with his big hand and told him to go into the room to sleep.
Ye Shuo looked back every few steps and returned to his room reluctantly.
Ye Ruohuan punched Fu Yijian's chest and said in a heavy nasal voice, "You are disrespectful to the elderly."
Fu Yijian narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous light. He leaned forward to approach Ye Ruohuan and asked in a low voice, "Who is old?"
"Uh..." Even though Ye Ruohuan was confused, she still had an instinct for survival, and she just wanted to get up and run away.
But it was too late. Fu Yijian picked her up and walked towards the room. "I have to prove who is old."
