After entering the room and changing his shoes, Dong Xinhui handed all the snacks he was holding to Ye Zhizhou.
Ye Zhizhou was carrying four or five snack gift packs. He glanced at them and saw that they contained all kinds of snacks, with the most eye-catching being the bag of spicy strips.
"You're eating? I haven't eaten either. Xiaozhou, could you get a pair of chopsticks for your uncle too?"
Dong Xinhui kept his eyes on the food on the table. Ye Zhizhou put the snacks on the coffee table, turned his head, and said, "Okay, Uncle, please sit down first."
"You don't hate me anymore?" Dong Xinhui's eyes welled up with tears when he heard her call him "uncle." He was worried that Ye Zhizhou still cared about the past, and he was extremely uneasy when he entered the door.
Ye Zhizhou smiled faintly, "What I hate are people who are bad to my mother. My father has already explained it to me, and I know that my uncle is not that kind of person."
Dong Xinhui unconsciously pursed her lips and turned her mouth down, but in the end, she managed to hold back her tears.
"My uncle knows that our Xiaozhou is a sensible and good child."
Ye Zhizhou smiled faintly in response to him, then turned and went to the kitchen to serve Dong Xinhui rice.
Dong Xinhui sat opposite Qin Xuan. He hadn't met Qin Xuan much, but he knew that Qin Xuan was the son of his sister's best friend, so he took the initiative to greet him.
"It's been a long time since I've seen your mother. How is she doing these days?"
Qin Xuan put down his chopsticks and said politely, "She's doing very well."
"Uncle, do you know Aunt Huo?" Ye Zhizhou asked curiously, putting down his small bowl of rice.
Dong Xinhui said with a smile, "Of course I know her. Huo Qingyan and your mother are good friends. She has visited my home a few times. At that time, I had just become a director, and she and your mother helped me shoot a few short films."
As Ye Zhizhou listened to him recount his past, Dong Xinhui spoke with great enthusiasm, as if he had returned to his youth.
"Xiao Zhou, are you really not blaming your uncle?" Dong Xinhui suddenly changed the subject halfway through his sentence.
Ye Zhizhou shook his head. "It's not your fault, but apart from you, no one in the Dong family is innocent."
She could be family with Dong Xinhui, but not with those indifferent members of the Dong family, even though they were related by blood.
Dong Xinhui was stunned. He thought Ye Zhizhou was just a child, but he didn't expect her to know everything and be so clear about the distinctions.
"Let's not talk about these things. Do you want to debut as an actor? Your uncle can help you."
As he ate the dishes prepared by Ye Zhizhou, he thought to himself that his trip to Ning City had not been in vain.
Qin Xuan glanced at Ye Zhizhou, but Ye Zhizhou didn't notice.
"I don't want to think about it right now. I want to focus on my studies first, since the college entrance exam is coming up soon."
Ye Zhizhou had no desire to be a celebrity; she just wanted to be an ordinary office worker and live a life like everyone else.
A smile unconsciously crept onto Qin Xuan's lips.
Dong Xinhui looked somewhat regretful. "Since you already have a plan, then your uncle will not interfere for now. If you want to act in the future, you can come to your uncle anytime."
Ye Zhizhou nodded, biting his chopsticks, thinking to himself, "Is acting any more comfortable than lying down and counting money?"
Halfway through their meal, Ye Huaibin returned. He and Dong Xinhui exchanged a glance. In fact, Ye Huaibin had deliberately arranged for Dong Xinhui to come to their house today.
Ye Zhizhou noticed the exchange of glances between the two people, glanced at the snacks on the coffee table, all of which were her favorites, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
"I'll be going back to Haishi the day after tomorrow, Xiaozhou. Your uncle will come to see you when he has time."
After having dinner, Dong Xinhui and Ye Huaibin chatted for a few minutes before getting up to return to the hotel.
"Also, I heard that Qin Xuan and you were betrothed as children. If you don't like it, you can talk to your uncle, and he will personally help you resolve it."
He pulled Ye Zhizhou aside to chat outside the villa, but the people inside couldn't hear what they were saying.
Ye Zhizhou felt a bit of hair loss; they all seemed particularly concerned about her and Qin Xuan's relationship. Right now, all she really wanted to do was focus on her studies.
After seeing Dong Xinhui off, Qin Xuan followed closely behind, his expression indifferent.
"Are you unhappy?" Ye Zhizhou sensed that something was wrong with Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan said slowly, "Next time you invite me to dinner, could it be just the two of us?"
Ye Zhizhou was taken aback; it turned out that he was not used to having more people in his family.
"sure."
Qin Xuan was satisfied and left the Ye residence with his long, straight legs.
Ye Zhizhou carried the snacks back to his bedroom. The exam was over, and now it was time for a short break.
She opened her iPad and started watching a recently popular TV series. While she was unpacking a spicy snack gift pack, a card suddenly fell out of it.
Ye Zhizhou had a bad feeling. She opened WeChat and sent a message to Dong Xinhui: Uncle, what's this?
The photo of the card was quickly sent over, and after a while, Dong Xinhui replied: This is a small token of my appreciation from your uncle. The password is on the back. If you need more, just ask.
Ye Zhizhou: ...
She felt like a professional truck driver, having already escaped a comfortable life and become incredibly wealthy before even graduating, so as not to hold the country back.
She wanted to cancel her membership and experience starting over, but these big shots wouldn't allow it.
After the exams at K University, the college entrance exam preparation entered the final sprint stage, and the noise in the classroom was much quieter than before.
During the break, Ye Zhizhou browsed the forum and found that there were far fewer posts discussing whether she could get into K University.
"Qin Jiajiao, did you do a good deed yesterday?"
She pointed to the forum.
Qin Xuan had just woken up, his eyes half-open, and Ye Zhizhou was instantly stunned. She forced herself to come back to her senses and not be captivated by his beauty.
"No, I went back and washed up yesterday before going to sleep."
Ye Zhizhou gave an "oh," turned his gaze away, and decided to ignore the content on the forum and focus on reading.
At lunchtime, she and Qin Xuan ate together as usual, and Lin Qiqi took the initiative to join them.
"I'm looking for Xiao Zhou, hehe." As soon as she arrived, Qin Xuan looked at her, and Lin Qiqi hurriedly explained.
She wasn't interested in aloof and abstinent male gods, mainly because their health points were too low; she was afraid she'd die before she could even win them over.
"Xiao Zhou, I have something important to tell you."
Lin Qiqi lowered her head and whispered mysteriously in Ye Zhizhou's ear.
At that moment, Lu Qing walked over with a plate and immediately announced some big news: "Chen Jing is dropping out of school."
Lin Qiqi was upset that what she wanted to say had been stolen from her.
Why are you so quick to speak?
Lu Qing looked completely bewildered. "Who are you?"
It looked like they were about to argue, so Ye Zhizhou quickly interjected, "Why did she drop out of school?"
Lin Qiqi puffed out her cheeks and spoke first, "They said she offended a big shot, and her dad wants her to drop out of school, but it might take a while."
Lu Qing added, "To be precise, it will take another month. They lost a big order, the company is going to collapse, and they have to seek development in other cities. The company can't move to another location so quickly."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Qiqi triumphantly. Lin Qiqi didn't back down and glared at him back.
Ye Zhizhou picked up a meatball and silently stuffed it into her mouth. She couldn't let them know that Chen Jing's family had taken the order from the Ye family. Doing good deeds anonymously, she desperately wanted to applaud her father.
