While the spareribs were stewing in the pot, Ye Shuning heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw a man standing outside the security iron door. He was wearing sunglasses, with the brim of his hat pulled down and the collar of his windbreaker turned up.
This person was looking around as if he was afraid of being seen.
Seeing Ling Xuan dressed like this, Ye Shuning found it funny and opened the iron door to invite Ling Xuan in. "Why are you dressed like this? Come in quickly."
Ling Xuan entered the house, put down the gifts he had brought, took off his hat and sunglasses, and said, "I'm just afraid of being discovered by those people."
Ye Shuning smiled and said, "Don't be so careful. We are not important people at the moment. I don't think they will do anything to us."
Ling Xuan said, "Those people will resort to trickery in secret, so it's better to be careful. My father has always wanted to come see you, but he's afraid of causing you trouble, so he never came. He also doesn't dare to invite you to his home. Sometimes I think about how frustrated we are."
Ye Shuning also understood Ling Xuan's feelings. "It's nothing. Just bear with it for now. It will be fine later. How is the investigation going with that woman?"
Ling Xuan immediately perked up when Ye Shuning asked this question, "Sister Xiaoning, thank you for reminding me. My father has uncovered quite a bit of information. That woman has been secretly embezzling a lot of money from the Qin family over the years, taking advantage of her control over the family expenses."
She has someone behind her, whose relationship with her is unclear. Furthermore, that person has a gang background and has helped her do a lot of bad things.
In order to prevent them from discovering my father's guilt, he was extremely cautious. Once he had gathered more evidence, he was ready to confront my grandfather. At the very least, he had to reveal the woman's true identity.
My father also tracked down the woman's hometown and happened to find a fellow villager living there. He then asked her and learned that she had been married before, but she had run away. She later collapsed on the side of the road due to illness and was saved by my grandmother. Later, she became my grandfather's concubine.
Ye Shuning hadn't expected this woman to have so many secrets. Thinking she had the support of a certain gang, she said, "Then you have to tell your father to be extremely careful. It's okay if it takes a little longer, but you have to be cautious and don't let them find out and become desperate."
Ling Xuan said: "My father thinks so too. That's why he is very cautious."
Ling Xuan checked the time and asked, "Sister Xiao Ning, why hasn't Second Brother Qin come yet?"
Ye Shuning said, "Second Brother Qin has to go to the film company today. The new movie is about to be released."
Ling Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Oh, the new movie is about to be released. I must go to see the premiere."
"Your vote is definitely needed." Ye Shuning said.
Ling Xuan took the water Ye Shuning poured for him and said, "The new movie is written by you, Sister Xiaoning. It must be great. I think Second Brother Qin has high expectations for it."
Ye Shuning said, "I hope it sells well. We invested over a million dollars in the movie. At least we can make sure that Second Brother Qin doesn't lose money."
Ling Xuan put down the cup and said, "Sister Xiao Ning, I have good news for you. My father is going to the mainland soon. I plan to go with him. We will try our best to contact Uncle Ye."
Ye Shuning was very excited when she heard this. "Really? You're going to the mainland? That's great. If you can't contact my father, you can contact your third brother Li. He knows you too."
Ling Xuan said, "Sister Xiao Ning, don't worry, we will definitely inform them of your news. Uncle Ye must be very worried since he hasn't heard from you for a long time."
Ye Shuning looked forward to letting her father know the news about herself as soon as possible every day, so that at least her father would not have to be so anxious, and they would be able to be reunited in a few years.
She said with some regret: "It would be great if I could go back with you."
Ling Xuan was stunned when he heard this, then suddenly realized, "Yes, Sister Xiao Ning, you can also go to the mainland with us. You can come as my father's secretary. I think it should be fine. I will discuss it with my father when I get back."
Ye Shuning was incredibly excited. Although she couldn't stay in the mainland for much longer, at least being able to see her father would be a blessing. She had so much to say to him. And Li Shaozhong, she missed him too; they'd separated just after their engagement.
However, she had to make some things clear when she returned this time. It would take at least several years for her to return, which meant that they would not be able to get married at least in the next few years, and it would be difficult for them to meet.
Li Shaozhong was already at the right age to get married. Could he afford to wait a few years? Would his family let him wait? And they didn't know how many years it would take. If they couldn't wait, they might as well make it clear and separate sooner rather than later, to avoid wasting Li Shaozhong's time.
Thinking of this, Ye Shuning looked forward to returning to the mainland even more.
Qin Zongye arrived around noon, and Ye Shuning's meal was almost on the table.
Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, Qin Zongye pulled out a chair and said with a smile, "Wow, why did you cook so many dishes today? This is too expensive."
Ye Shuning also took out a bottle of red wine and poured it for the three of them, and prepared a bottle of juice for Li Jingyu.
She put down the bottle, sat on the chair and said, "I have good news to tell you today. I asked Professor Jin from our department today. If I can pass all the exams for my major and my graduation thesis, I can graduate early.
Professor Jin also invited me to study for his graduate program and to supervise me. He will also help me with my application for early graduation. He would also welcome me to continue my doctoral studies.
Qin Zongye and Ling Xuan were both surprised when they heard this.
Qin Zongye knew Ye Shuning was very talented, but he didn't expect her to be so amazing. "Have you finished all your college courses? Did you teach yourself?"
Qin Zongye also saw the professional books in Ye Shuning's home. Ye Shuning had read so many books. She had put in several times more effort than others. Plus, she was very smart, so it was not impossible for her to finish the university courses so quickly.
Ye Shuning nodded and said, "I have almost finished all the courses in college. I have learned some chemistry knowledge before, so it is not difficult to study systematically now. If I can graduate early, I can save several years.
Actually, I wanted to use the school’s chemistry laboratory as soon as possible. After all, I couldn’t use the laboratory casually before my junior year.
Professor Jin also said that I could use his laboratory in the future. Professor Jin is a senior professor in our chemistry department. He has his own laboratory with better equipment. It would be great if I could do experiments in Professor Jin's laboratory.
Ling Xuan was stunned and exclaimed, "Sister Xiao Ning, you are too amazing. You are applying for early graduation right after entering college. I am so ashamed. No, I have to work harder in the future."
