223 Return to the Human World
"What does Miss Lin mean?" Ye Zhiyan asked in confusion.
The intense gaze vanished so quickly that Lin Qiongyu thought it was an illusion. After she finished speaking, she felt regretful and stammered, "No, nothing. I have things to do. I won't bother you anymore."
"Ms. Lin—"
Ye Zhiyan put down the seasoning brush, handed the half-roasted meat to the chef beside him, took out a few paper towels from the paper towel on the table to wipe his hands, and threw them into the smart trash can beside him.
He did all this slowly and methodically, then looked up at Lin Qiongyu, who looked clearly uneasy, and made an inviting gesture. "There's a quiet place over there. Why don't you go over there?"
Lin Qiongyu bit her lip and followed Ye Zhiyan away.
Ye Zhiyan took people to the nearby Mingyue Lake. The lights and moonlight made the lake surface sparkle. A long plank road was built along the lakeshore. There was a lawn nearby. The view was wide and it was possible to see clearly whether there was anyone around.
"I wonder what Miss Lin wanted to tell me before?"
The light shone down from above Ye Zhiyan's head, casting a hazy shadow over his handsome face, making him even more attractive.
Lin Qiongyu's eyes were fascinated, pure and passionate, as if she was looking up at a god.
Although Lin Qiongyu's facial features are not particularly delicate, she has a unique charm. Her face looks directly at the light, as if it is glowing. Such a young and beautiful girl has such straightforward and passionate emotions contained in her bright eyes, which is also a fatal temptation for most men.
Ye Zhiyan felt it was a trouble and frowned slightly.
"Ms. Lin?"
Lin Qiongyu seemed to have just come back to her senses. Thinking of her uncontrollable behavior just now, her cheeks flushed. Her eyes were like water, and she lowered them shyly. Then she realized what Ye Zhiyan had just asked, raised her eyes again, and said seriously: "Mr. Ye, I came to you because of my sister."
She pursed her lips and looked directly at Ye Zhiyan. "Regardless of who was right or wrong in the past, they have already paid the price. Mom and Dad have also realized their mistakes. They both want to make it up to Sister, but Sister has blocked all our contact information. We tried everything but couldn't see Sister. Mom missed her so much that she became sick and couldn't get out of bed for several days. She kept talking about Sister."
"I can only shamelessly ask someone to bring me in, just so I can see my sister and explain things to her..." Lin Qiongyu smiled bitterly, "But my sister won't forgive us. I have no choice but to beg you, please help me put in a few good words for her."
"But my sister really hated me. She's always resented my parents' favoritism and even changed her name. My father was so heartbroken that he fainted..."
Lin Qiongyu pleaded, "They really regret it. As long as my sister can come back, I don't mind leaving the Lin family!"
Ye Zhiyan listened to her quietly before saying, "Ms. Lin, you should talk to Duoduo about these things instead of looking for me."
When Lin Qiongyu heard Ye Zhiyan addressing Lin Yuyue, she almost lost control of her expression. She pinched her palms hard to prevent herself from losing her mind. Her eyes were red. "But my sister ignored me and refused to listen to a single word I said..."
"You have taken me in, and I will listen to you."
Ye Zhiyan said slowly: "Our family respects her wishes. She is an adult and she has carefully considered any decision she makes. We will not comment on this."
"The Lin family is sincere and truly hopes to reconcile with Duoduo. They should take action. In time, when she sees your sincere repentance and genuine attempts to make amends, she might accept you again." Ye Zhiyan paused and kindly offered a suggestion -
"If you don't know how to do it specifically, my Ye family can be of reference."
Lin Qiongyu understood what Ye Zhiyan meant, and her expression almost dropped. She thought of the banquet where both the Ye and Yu families officially announced that Ye Zhizhi was the eldest heir of the two families, which meant that Ye Zhiyan, the only son, would only get a part.
In other words, even if Ye Zhiyan becomes the top manager of the Ye and Yu family companies in the future, he will still be working for Ye Zhizhi...
Lin Qiongyu lowered her head in embarrassment, hiding the resentment in her eyes. "The Lin family will belong to my brother in the future. I... can't make the decision..." At this point, Lin Qiongyu felt very unfair. The Lin family pretended to love their daughter so much, but in reality, wasn't it still son-in-law preference? After her brother came of age, he owned part of the company's shares, while she had nothing except some flashy jewelry, clothes and bags.
The Lin family never thought of giving her shares, nor did they have any actual assets. Even if they said they loved her, it was only because she still had marriage value.
Ye Zhiyan smiled slightly. "That's exactly what I suggested. Miss Lin, you can bring it up when you get back. I think a brother who truly loves his sister wouldn't be reluctant to compensate her. I heard that Mr. Xiao Lin is quite capable and will definitely be able to build a family business that's as good as the Lin family in the future."
Anyway, Ye Zhiyan has this confidence. He has the support of the Ye family and the Yu family, and he also has his own network of contacts and the ability to do so. Compared to inheriting the family business, he prefers to build another family business.
Ye Zhiyan had already made his proposal, so he turned to another topic, "I wonder what Miss Lin meant by the Mister Forest she suddenly mentioned just now."
Lin Qiongyu's eyes dodged, "No, nothing."
Ye Zhiyan smiled slightly. "I wonder what rumors Miss Lin heard that led to this misunderstanding? Ultimately, this is our family's privacy, and we don't want to expose it to others for comment."
This was the attitude their family finally reached after discussion. They did not take the initiative to point it out, but the official explanation could be found out by anyone with a little ability. The information obtained through their own channels would not arouse suspicion.
Generally, those who are not directly involved in the matter will not pursue the matter further after hearing the first version. However, those with ulterior motives can investigate further and, if they have sufficient capabilities and background, can obtain information on the second version. If they still persist, they have ulterior motives and will be the focus of surveillance.
I wonder how many layers of meaning Lin Qiongyu has discovered?
Thinking of this, Ye Zhiyan's tone was a little tough, "My sister suffered so much in the past few years. As a family, we can only feel distressed and tolerant... Duoduo was able to meet her and be rescued by officials together. It was also their fate."
Ye Zhiyan was talking about the first version. Anyway, those criminals were all gone very quickly. Ye Zhizhi's experiences were perfect. There was other evidence, but the witnesses were gone.
"My sister isn't a public figure, and no one would be curious about her past. This is her privacy, and I don't want any unfounded rumors to spread and people to point fingers at her."
Lin Qiongyu was quite embarrassed. "I didn't mean anything else."
"I was very grateful that my sister was saved, and I didn't think much of it."
Ye Zhiyan's expression softened. "In that case, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Ye Zhiyan nodded politely and distantly, then turned and left.
Lin Qiongyu stood there with a broken expression, but she didn't expect Ye Zhiyan to look back.
Ye Zhiyan left the lakeside and walked into the green corridor. He turned into a bush and after taking two steps, he stood in front of the squatting Ye Zhizhi.
Ye Zhizhi raised her head: "..." She didn't feel ashamed of eavesdropping at all, she felt justified.
She was having a lively time with a group of brothers and sisters, and noticed that her brother had been missing for a long time, so she came out to look for him. She followed his scent and found that her brother was actually involved with the heroine. Of course, she had to listen to it on the spot.
Ye Zhizhi was squatting facing Ye Zhiyan. She didn't hide herself deliberately and was looking around openly. Ye Zhiyan could see her just by looking a little further away.
Ye Zhiyan smiled helplessly. He patted Ye Zhizhi's head and said, "Let's go back."
Ye Zhizhi covered his head and thought, "Oh, I've been knocked stupid."
She raised her head and looked at Ye Zhiyan. She arrived late and didn't hear the previous words, but she just happened to hear her mentioned?
Ye Zhizhi had already seen that the heroine would appear at her birthday party. With the heroine's halo, Ye Zhizhi thought she would cause trouble. However, perhaps because Ye Zhiyan had people paying attention to her all the time, she had always been very well-behaved.
Ye Zhizhi also noticed the person who had been standing next to Lin Qiongyu. He looked quite unpleasant, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her and her brother was definitely not kind.
She didn't know what was going on in the business world, but she could see his deep hostility towards his brother.
Ye Zhizhi took a few more glances at him, still wondering if he was the male lead, and then she heard his name.
She suddenly realized and remembered instantly, as expected, this is the male protagonist! Their family did not invite Lin Qiongyu, it was he who brought people in.
It was he who eventually devoured the Ye family!
But today is her good day, so Ye Zhizhi is not so anxious to find out. Now that she remembers him, there are still many days to come!
Now the elder brother has also left the plot. I don’t know who will win in the future fight. Maybe the plot will continue and the elder brother will be able to die.
If she really had nothing left and no place in human society, it didn't matter. She could raise them! At worst, she could take her human family with her to survive in the wilderness.
Ye Zhizhi looked at Ye Zhiyan and nodded affirmatively.
Ye Zhiyan looked at his sister's eyes, which were moving around. He knew she was thinking about something, but he didn't know what it was. Ye Zhiyan felt that it was beyond his ability to guess, so he turned around and said, "Let's go back."
Ye Zhizhi went back with Ye Zhiyan. When they were drawn into the ocean of joy, they instantly forgot what they wanted to ask.
When she woke up at noon the next day, she remembered that she had not asked her brother what the words he and Lin Qiongyu meant.
Did Lin Qiongyu know something?
However, Lin Qiongyu left early in the morning, so she couldn't ask him in person, and her brother even avoided mentioning the subject.
Ye Zhizhi knew her past was troublesome, but she didn't feel much about it. It was as if all the bad things had been isolated from her before they even reached her. Seeing that her brother didn't want to talk about it, she didn't dwell on it and quickly put it behind her.
Ye Zhizhi liked this manor very much and stayed here for a few more days. Some friends who didn’t have any important matters, such as Qin Fei and others, also stayed here.
Seeing how much she liked this place, Yu Jingyao had been thinking about whether she could bargain and buy it. As long as her daughter liked it, no matter how much it cost, it was worth it.
The manor was more expansive and more wild than the Ye family's mid-mountain manor. Even though the Ye family had mountains and water, they were meticulously maintained, with every blade of grass and tree possessing a rhythmic beauty. Here, the atmosphere was more natural. There were plenty of activities to enjoy at the manor, and nearby, there was also a field base, which was exactly what the young group wanted. Ye Zhizhi, in particular, was having a blast.
In the wild jungle, she is the king.
No matter what weapons the opponent has, it will be a dimensionality reduction attack.
Ye Zhizhi only got into some trouble when he was an opponent of Qin Fei.
Her advantages are her five senses and her strength. In terms of tactics, she is naturally not as good as Qin Fei, who was trained in regular troops. Ye Zhizhi is more of a wild man, and her fighting skills are the result of years of cooperating with wolves and friends to survive. Her style is changeable, and it is often impossible to guess what the next step will be.
However, Ye Zhizhi's temporary teammates were not as cooperative as her friends, and she often became a lone wolf. Other temporary teammates who could not keep up with her pace were first dealt with by Qin Fei's team, and then surrounded.
Ye Zhizhi relied on his brute force and flexible skills to fight against the team commanded by Qin Fei, with the outcome being fifty-fifty.
Ye Zhizhi felt that she had lost. She was so angry. If it was a face-to-face competition, she would win 100%. However, for the sake of fairness, she deliberately restrained her five senses and strength, and used more tactics to compete, but she still lost.
However, Ye Zhizhi was a studious person. She stared at Qin Fei, studied his tactics, and put them into practice, and her chances of winning became higher and higher.
Ye Zhizhi played for five consecutive days with great pleasure. Others left because they did not have much vacation time or had other things to do. Fewer and fewer people participated in the game, and in the end only Qin Fei and Qian Duoduo stayed with her.
