Ye Minghan had already heard the noise at the door, but he didn't rush to check. He waited until the footsteps reached the living room before he turned his head and glanced over with a cold look.
Chi Rui froze in place, but Ye Minghan only glanced at her, then his eyes passed over her and fell behind her.
"Ahan, are you off work?"
Ye Mengke changed into a pair of indoor slippers, walked gracefully to the sofa and sat down.
She turned on the TV and called Chi Rui.
"Rui Rui, come and sit down. It's almost time for dinner. Do your homework after dinner."
Chi Rui paused, then walked over and sat next to Ye Mengke.
Ye Minghan, who was sitting opposite her, had been following her with his eyes. When he saw her sitting next to Ye Mengke, he felt a little unhappy.
"Where did you take Chi Rui this afternoon?"
He pursed his lips and looked at his sister with a questioning look.
In the afternoon, he asked Cen Shen to pick someone up, thinking that he would be able to see the little girl when he returned to the office after the meeting, but who knew that there was no one in the office.
After reading Cen Shen's message, I realized that he was snatched away by his sister.
Ye Meng looked at him and couldn't help blinking.
"We just went to a coffee shop together." She said softly.
Chi Rui echoed, "Yeah, the matcha cake there tastes great. Brother Han, let's go with us next time."
Ye Minghan pursed his lips even tighter, thought for a moment and said, "Chi Rui is already in her third year of high school. This will delay her studies."
Hearing this, Chi Rui was stunned.
Actually...it's not that serious, right?
But just as she was about to speak, she looked up and met Ye Minghan's stern gaze, and she was speechless.
She lowered her head and twitched her fingers in shame.
Ye Mengke was very puzzled.
Her younger brother was always in fights throughout elementary and junior high school, and she never saw him care about studying.
As for grades, I got just the passing score in every exam, neither more nor less.
If my father hadn't taught me a good lesson in high school and sent me abroad to gain experience, I would probably still be hanging around in a university now, right?
And now, you even talk about studying?
Ye Mengke tilted her head and looked at Chi Rui beside her. Suddenly she understood something and smiled gently.
"I think the most important thing is to combine work and rest."
She reached out and touched the top of the little girl's head. "And Rui Rui is also studying in the coffee shop."
Chi Rui nodded quickly, "I have memorized the words."
"Yes, the environment there is pretty good. Why don't we go there to study after Ruirui finishes school?"
"no!"
Ye Mengke had just finished speaking when Ye Minghan blurted out before Chi Rui could answer.
"Why not?" Ye Mengke looked at his brother with a smile in his eyes.
Ye Minghan realized that he had spoken too hastily. He pursed his thin lips and turned his face away uncomfortably.
Observing his reaction, Ye Mengke just found it very interesting.
"Ahan?" she continued to ask.
Just when Ye Minghan was about to get angry, he heard the soft voice of a young girl.
"Sister Ye, thank you for your kindness, but I think that it's okay to go to a coffee shop once or twice occasionally, but if I go there every day, I will definitely gain weight."
Chi Rui looked at Ye Mengke with a cute and gentle smile.
Ye Minghan paused, then looked at his sister.
Although his face was expressionless, having grown up together, how could Ye Mengke not recognize his proud emotion?
This kid...
Ye Mengke shook her head and didn't tease him anymore.
"Okay then." She said to Chi Rui, "When I have time in the future, I will take you to eat other delicious food."
"Okay, thank you Sister Ye." Chi Rui curled her eyes happily.
Seeing that they had only seen each other for two or three days and their relationship had become so good, Ye Minghan couldn't help but curl his lips.
But he didn't say anything more after that.
The next day, Chi Rui went to school as usual.
As she walked on the school road, she could clearly feel the gazes of the people around her.
She had only received this kind of treatment when she had just transferred to another school, but she didn't expect to experience it again.
After a moment's thought, she guessed the reason.
Maybe the news that Sister Ye came to pick her up yesterday had spread in the school? She knew that Sister Ye was quite famous in the school and many people liked her.
Sure enough, when she arrived at the classroom and sat down, Sheng Qingle came over with a smile.
"Rui Rui, are you close to Senior Sister Meng Ke?"
Sheng Qingle now knew that Ye Minghan was not Chi Rui's biological brother. She was just temporarily staying in their house, so she asked this question.
Chi Rui glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"That's it..." Sheng Qingle was a little embarrassed, "Can you help me get her autograph?"
She took out a photo from the notebook.
In the photo, there is a silhouette of a woman.
She was wearing a snow-white dance costume, standing under a beam of light, with her head slightly tilted, making a graceful dance move.
It was dark all around, and under the only light, she looked so light, graceful, and beautiful.
This silhouette is naturally Ye Mengke.
Chi Rui didn't expect that Sheng Qingle was also a fan of Sister Ye. She nodded and took the photo.
"Okay, I'll ask for you tonight."
"Oh, Rui Rui, you are so kind!"
Sheng Qingle hugged her and rubbed her face.
Thinking of something else, she couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Rui Rui, what happened to Lan Xiang yesterday?"
Chi Rui couldn't help but pause.
If she didn't say anything, she would have forgotten about it.
"If it's inconvenient to say, then I won't ask."
Sheng Qingle said, "I just feel that her attitude is a little..."
She wrinkled her nose and didn't continue talking, fearing that Chi Rui would be unhappy.
Chi Rui smiled and didn't hide it from her.
"Lan Xiang... is the daughter of my father's first love." She restrained her smile and said softly.
Sheng Qingle was stunned, "Then your father..."
Is this cheating?
"My parents have been divorced for many years." Chi Rui shook his head calmly.
The class representative at the podium asked them to take out the morning reading materials.
Chi Rui took out the textbook and flipped through it while saying calmly, "So there's nothing to worry about."
Sheng Qingle had always thought that a gentle and cheerful girl like Chi Rui must have grown up in a happy family, but she never expected...
"Rui Rui..."
She felt a little sad for a moment and didn't know how to comfort her.
Hearing her cautiousness, Chi Rui turned his head and gave Sheng Qingle a strange look.
"I'm fine, really. If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about her."
"But what she did yesterday was really too much!"
The cuckoo took over the magpie's nest and dared to come here to show off? Was Rui Rui often bullied by Lan Xiang in the past?
The more Sheng Qingle thought about it, the angrier he became, and he felt like there was a fire burning in his heart.
Chi Rui looked at her and felt that this little friend might have imagined something again.
She couldn't help but smile softly, shook her head and said, "Just ignore her."
It’s not that she is generous and has a good temper, it’s mainly because of Lan Xiang. As long as she ignores her, she will get so angry that she jumps up and down.
It's as if he wants to surpass her and won't be satisfied until he sees her sad.
If that's the case, why should she satisfy her?
Seeing that Chi Rui really seemed fine, Sheng Qingle had no choice but to change the subject.
"By the way, when I asked you about Cen Shen..."
Speaking of her sweetheart, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Have you asked for me?"
"Yeah." Chi Rui nodded, "I found out a little bit."
Cen Shen, a native of Xuancheng, is 26 years old this year. He graduated from a prestigious foreign university and is obsessed with detective and suspense novels.
"That's all I've heard so far. The secretary said he's a nice guy." Chi Rui said, then hesitated, "Le Le, do you really like him? Assistant Cen is much older than us."
"I don't think age is a problem." Sheng Qingle was optimistic. "He likes detective novels? I'll buy a few online and read them."
Then she took out her mobile phone, opened the APP and started browsing.
For Sheng Qingle, who doesn't like reading at all, this is definitely the first time.
Chi Rui didn't say anything, just hoped that she wasn't just a flash in the pan.
After school in the afternoon, Chi Rui and Sheng Qingle walked to the school gate together.
"Sister Chi Rui."
Looking at the girl standing at the school gate, Chi Rui chose to ignore her.
Lan Xiang bit her lip and wanted to continue talking to her, but was stopped by Sheng Qingle, "What do you want to do? Go back to where you came from!"
"Senior, I just want to have a conversation with Sister Chi Rui..."
She looked at Sheng Qingle with a gentle and weak look, completely different from her somewhat arrogant look yesterday.
But Sheng Qingle obviously didn't buy her trick, "Go away, go away, or I'll get someone to beat you up!"
Lan Xiang held her breath and looked at her with tears in her eyes.
She made some special inquiries today and found out that the person who came to pick up Chi Rui yesterday was actually Ye Mengke, the eldest daughter of the Ye family.
Chi Rui actually hooked up with such a rich man and they had such a good relationship. She felt that the jealousy in her heart was about to overwhelm her.
Today I have to rely on everything she says to make my presence felt!
Chi Rui frowned and looked towards the end of the street.
At this moment, a royal blue sports car just turned into the intersection.
Sheng Qingle had sharp eyes and saw it immediately.
Thinking of Cen Shen in her heart, she ignored Lan Xiang and stood beside Chi Rui, looking forward to it.
But when the sports car came to their side, they saw that the person who got out of the car was not Assistant Cen, but Ye Minghan with a cold and handsome face.
Sheng Qingle immediately wilted.
Wasn't it Assistant Cen who came to pick me up for a long time before? Why did Ye Minghan, the bad guy, come to pick me up today?
"Brother Han." Chi Rui was stunned for a moment and called him softly.
Ye Minghan nodded and was about to take the bag from her hand when someone suddenly came over from the side.
"Hello, brother. I am Lan Xiang, Chi Rui's sister."
Lan Xiang looked at Ye Minghan with a smile, putting on an innocent and lovely expression, and her eyes were slightly shining as she looked at Ye Minghan.
Ye Minghan looked at the girl who suddenly appeared and blocked Chi Rui intentionally or unintentionally, his brows deeply furrowed.
"Get out of the way." He said coldly.
He felt that he was being polite by not asking her to go away, but Lan Xiang didn't think so. She felt embarrassed but still wanted to continue pestering him.
"Brother Han."
At this time, Chi Rui took the initiative to step forward and held Ye Minghan's hand, "Let's go, she is not my sister."
"Sister Chi Rui, how can you say that?"
Tears squeezed out of Lan Xiang's eyes, and she looked like she was bullied by her. "Dad said we should get along well."
Chi Rui couldn't help but pause, turned his head to look at her, his pair of almond-shaped eyes were bright and lively.
Lan Xiang froze in place.
She had never seen Chi Rui look like this before.
Chi Rui spoke softly, her voice still gentle, but the words she said made her heart skip a beat.
"Lan Xiang, don't mess with me again, or you will regret it."
After Chi Rui finished speaking, he pulled Ye Minghan into the car without looking back, leaving Lan Xiang, who had come to her senses, standing there with a look of resentment and hatred on her face.
