But that girl was clearly a smart person, a seasoned veteran.
With Su Luo's intelligence, he's definitely not smart enough to partner with someone else; he'd probably be sold out and still have to count the money for the other party.
Su Luo explained to Ye Xiaotian.
“She’s a former colleague of mine. I’m planning to start a company with her, so I wanted to help you find out what her bottom line is.”
Ye Xiaotian did not immediately agree, but asked in confusion.
"What company? I was thinking of finding you a quiet job with me. Can you really manage to start your own business with your health?"
Su Luo said frankly.
"Media company? It's okay, I'm taking medication. I don't want to work anymore, there's no future in it."
Ye Xiaotian agreed.
"Okay, so you're planning to work hard and make money. I'll investigate for you later."
He thought it was good for Su Luo to have a goal, which was better than staying at home doing nothing. Once a person has a goal, they will have motivation and will not easily get stuck in the past or have negative thoughts.
Even if he loses money, it doesn't matter, because he has money and can bail out Su Luo. He can support him for life.
Ye Xiaoman stopped her.
"Wait, Xiao Luo, I think you should do an easier job. You don't need to rush to make money. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health."
She doesn't really want Su Luo to start her own business. Although she might make a fortune, once the company grows big, she'll be extremely busy and won't have any time to spend with her.
Besides, his physical condition is really bad right now; what if he gets exhausted?
If Song Lingshan knew that she hadn't taken good care of Su Luo, she would definitely blame her.
Su Luo looked at Ye Xiaoman and said seriously.
"Of course I'm anxious. I'm already 27, not young anymore. If I don't work hard now, I really won't have another chance. I want to be able to give my daughter a better life when I find her..."
"..."
Ye Xiaoman's lips twitched slightly, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
A bittersweet feeling welled up inside me.
Su Luo was being excessively kind to his brother's daughter; even in his current state, he was still thinking about making more money for her.
Ye Xiaotian could tell his sister was unhappy, so he didn't dare to say anything and just kept shoveling rice into his mouth.
Su Luo also sensed that something was wrong, so she didn't say anything more and picked up her rice bowl to continue eating.
...
Despite Ye Xiaoman's encouragement, Ye Xiaotian didn't need to feel inferior.
But Ye Xiaotian was still very nervous about meeting his future in-laws the next day. It was his first time visiting his girlfriend's home, and he had something to hide, so it was no wonder he was afraid.
I didn't sleep much that night, waiting until dawn.
Ye Xiaotian tidied himself up nicely, then took several carefully selected gifts and drove to Lin Xiyue's residence.
After Lin Xiyue got into the passenger seat, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but ask as he drove.
"What are your aunt and uncle's temperaments like? Should I talk more or less later? Should I act more mature or more naive?"
Hearing how much Ye Xiaotian valued his family, Lin Xiyue felt a surge of warmth in her heart and smiled as she spoke.
"Don't be nervous, just be yourself. My parents are very easy to talk to, they will definitely like you."
Ye Xiaotian blinked, half believing and half doubting.
"Really?"
He felt that Lin Xiyue was fooling him, but he had no proof.
Lin Xiyue nodded.
"Really, I've already said a lot of good things about you to them beforehand. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
Hearing Lin Xiyue say that, Ye Xiaotian's tense nerves finally relaxed.
"That's good, that's good."
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiyue changed the subject and asked seriously.
"What will you do if my parents don't approve of our relationship?"
Ye Xiaotian countered, "What do you want me to do?"
"Of course I hope you can withstand the pressure. You need to know that it's me dating you, not my family."
Although Lin Xiyue spoke highly of Ye Xiaotian to her parents and assured them that she wouldn't make things difficult for him, she was still worried.
Ye Xiaotian felt a warmth in his heart and smiled as he spoke.
"Then let's do it your way."
"Uh-huh."
unconsciously.
We have arrived at our destination.
Ye Xiaotian's heart, which had just settled down, was once again in suspense when he saw the historic courtyard house in front of him.
Good heavens!
Living in such an awesome place, how could he possibly relax?
Seeing that Ye Xiaotian was nervous again, Lin Xiyue gently held his hand, stared into his somewhat uneasy eyes, and said affectionately.
"Brother Ye, in my heart you are the best man in the world..."
Ye Xiaotian was instantly inspired by Lin Xiyue's words and nodded firmly.
He must perform well and not disappoint her.
The two got out of the car and went to the door.
The butler greeted them warmly and led the two into the courtyard.
Upon entering the main living room, one immediately sees Mr. and Mrs. Lin sitting on mahogany chairs.
Lin's father was wearing a black long gown and was slender.
With his bronze skin and somewhat graying hair, he had deep-set, sculpted features and a refined, mature demeanor.
Lin's mother looked ridiculously young, wearing a dark blue cheongsam and a beige shawl. She had a graceful figure, and her beautiful, 3D face showed no signs of aging.
If she weren't dressed somewhat maturely, you'd never guess she had such a grown daughter.
Wait, that's not right!
Ye Xiaotian felt increasingly familiar with this face; it was as if he had seen it somewhere before.
By the way, she was the female lead in an art film he watched many years ago, who was voted the youngest Golden Horse Best Actress in history—Zhou Qili.
No wonder Lin Xiyue has such good acting skills and looks; it's all thanks to her genes.
Ye Xiaotian stepped forward and greeted him politely.
"Uncle, Aunt."
Lin's father remained silent, his expression quite serious.
He didn't want his daughter to be in a relationship so early, after all, she was only twenty years old. But despite his resentment, he couldn't resist his daughter's persistent pleading, saying how great Ye Xiaotian was, which he didn't believe at all.
He knew the Ye family too well, and had met Ye Shanhe several times.
Ye Shanhe initially worked in the underworld, but gradually transitioned to a different path after the crackdown on organized crime.
Although he has been exonerated now, the legend of Ye Shanhe still lingers in the martial arts world, so it's impossible for him to be completely cleansed.
How could Ye Shanhe's son possibly be a good man?
Although Ye Xiaotian looks completely different from Ye Shanhe, with a fair complexion, a sunny disposition, and good manners, a tiger father never has a dog son.
Who knows if he will follow in his father's footsteps and commit crimes in the future?
Seeing that her husband looked unwell, Lin's mother did not respond.
It's so cold!
Ye Xiaotian's relaxed mood suddenly became tense again.
This is clearly a sign that they don't welcome me; they're not even willing to say a single word to me.
What should he do?
What if he says a few more words and the person still ignores him?
But it's awkward for him to stay silent now; he can't just stand there like a dumb statue.
Just as Ye Xiaotian was struggling with his decision, Lin Xiyue stepped forward and started massaging her father's back, smiling as she spoke.
