Volume 1 Chapter 157-158 Entanglement/Graduation

  "Night, brother, thank you... and I'm sorry!" Luo Ye remained silent for a long time before finally lifting his head, his eyes filled with gratitude and apology.

  "Little girl, you haven't spoken for half a day, I thought you were angry. I won't coax girls, I'm anxious too." Ye Xuan let out a sigh of relief and rubbed Luo Ye's head: "Why be polite with me? We've fought side by side before, right?"

  Lu Ye looked at Ye Xuan with a serious expression, "Ye big brother, actually... I understand everything. Letting you take responsibility is not just because of your ability, but mainly because of your identity as the eldest son and heir of the Ye family, looking at the Ye family's power to suppress this incident. If we succeed, everyone will be happy, if we fail, it will harm the Ye family. I believe all these things are clear to you, or should I say, clearer than me."

  "But you still accepted it, knowing that there was a suspicion of being used. I think, apart from what you said, there is another reason, which is to protect me and not let me be exposed, right?"

  "Yè ér......" Yè Xuān was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure of how to explain. Indeed, this reason was the most crucial one for him taking on this case.

  He and Jiang Zheng, Luo Zhenggang had discussed it over, and were determined not to let the matter of Luo Ye's involvement in the investigation be exposed. Another person who knew about this matter was Qian Mei, now renamed Sang Qingqing.

  They were most worried about Qian Mei, but unexpectedly, Luo Ye's innate kindness to Qian Mei made her the most important person in Qian Mei's life. Jiang Zheng simply mentioned it, and Qian Mei understood that she was a cunning woman who could easily cover up such things.

  Even so, he was worried that if things got out of control, unexpected consequences would arise. He didn't want anyone to notice Luo Ye too early on. Such a clever and exceptional girl, if she were really exposed, would she still have the chance to quietly finish her university studies?

  Her strength needs to bloom in her own field. This excessive cleverness will only make some people overly cautious, he hopes to give her enough space to grow stronger, so he'd rather be used and took on the case.

  As for his decision, most of the family members were against it. If he hadn't finally convinced his grandfather, it's hard to say how things would have turned out.

  "Thank you, Brother Ye!" Luo Ye got up and turned to Ye Xuan's back, embracing him. Her small face was buried in his shoulder, and her tears wetted his clothes.

  His expression said it all at that moment. She was truly grateful and didn't know what to do, as if only a hug could express her heartfelt deep gratitude!

  At first, when she was doing all this, she just thought about overthrowing her opponent and saving the whole family. As for what would happen afterwards, she had made the worst plan, at most entering the workforce earlier.

  But she never expected that Liu Zhenghang would have such a powerful backer behind him, which also explains why Liu Zhenghang was able to sail smoothly in his previous life. He had a giant chain of interests behind him, and ordinary waves couldn't capsize his boat?

  I'm very afraid and also relieved. If it weren't for Qian Mei's temporary decision, the longer Liu An's case is dragged on, the more difficult it will be to handle. In case the other party detects that something is amiss and makes preparations, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  This also taught her a lesson that in the future, she must not be blindly confident when doing things. If it weren't for Ye Xuan's persistence this time... she didn't dare to think further.

  Her slender body was softly pressed against his back, and the faint scent of a young girl wafted up to his nose. Ye Xuan felt somewhat at a loss for a moment. A layer of redness crept onto his earlobes as he hesitated for a while, "Silly girl, it's all over now, don't cry anymore, you and Uncle Luo will be fine, don't worry."

  As he lifted his head, a certain leaf "pffft" laughed out loud.

  Her height is also around 166 now. Sitting on the sofa, Ye Xuan is naturally a little shorter than her. The two of them are now in a pretty balanced state.

  Tears still welled up in her eyes, but a captivating smile spread across her face. Ye Xuan was momentarily bewildered - what was the meaning of this crying and laughing?

  Xuan thought for a moment and then looked at the other person's height, embarrassedly touching his head: "Ye, I... my hair hasn't been combed for half a month."

  Lu Ye took a glance at Ye Xuan's short hair, which was slightly longer than an inch, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. It took her a while to compose herself: "Brother Ye, what's with your haircut?"

  Her little face was pale with a hint of blush, her eyes shone brightly like the stars, slender and elegant like a jade orchid about to bloom. When his gaze met this lovely and charming young girl, Ye Xuan's heart skipped a beat inexplicably, and he scolded himself, "She's still just a child!" He covered up with a light cough: "What are you smiling at?"

  "Look at me, I'm a whole head taller than you!"

  In the dark of night, this girl was sometimes so mature that he felt inferior to her, and sometimes as playful as a child. He really couldn't keep up with her train of thought.

  Luo Ye suddenly retracted his smile and became serious again: "Ye Da Ge, no more joking around. I'll only say the word 'thank you' today, and won't mention it again in the future."

  Wherever I can be of use, Big Brother Ye will order me to do it, no matter if I can do it or not, I'll try my best. Although I'm a girl, Luo Ye's words are absolutely authoritative!

  "Alright, I understand."

  Lu Ye turned around and sat down, propping her chin on her hand to study Ye Xuan: "Brother Ye, uh... can you tell me why you're so good to me and my family?"

  Yexuan smiled lightly and said, "What's there to ask? I personally participated in your family's matter, how can I let you suffer injustice? Moreover, as a clever little sprout like you, it's my responsibility to protect you well."

  "Isn't it because Big Brother Ye likes you?" Luo Ye's eyes were filled with a sly smile. "You should know, if something unexpected happens in this matter, the foundation of the Ye family will be shaken. For a big family like yours, to take such a risk for someone who has nothing to do with your own family, it's really not worth it."

  Moreover, you took on this case, and more than 80% of the family members are opposed to it. Just look at how much weight you've lost, and you'll know how heavy the pressure is that you're bearing. It's okay, speak up, I won't laugh at you."

  "What nonsense are you talking about? Little girl is teasing people again!" Ye Xuan quickly stood up: "It's getting late, I'll send you home."

  "Uh-uh……, sorry about that? Of course, I knew Night wouldn't like me, just kidding, look at you getting all scared." Luo Ye stood up and waved her hand: "No need for you to send me off, isn't it said that we can't go to your school? Don't bother yourself with me!"

  "I'll drop you off outside the hospital. I won't go in."

  As Luo Ye was buttoning up her coat, Ye Xuan picked up the red scarf that was draped over the bed and wrapped it around someone so that only their eyes were visible. He grabbed his own coat and said, "Let's go."

  "Want to suffocate me?" Luo Ye pulled down her scarf, revealing her nose and mouth, took a deep breath: "Dressed like this, if someone saw you, they'd think you're a big star afraid of being recognized!"

  "Stars and leaves are not comparable!"

  "Alright, I'll take it as a compliment." Luo Ye giggled and jumped out of the door.

  As he locked the door of the house, Ye Xuan rushed to the side and shouted: "What are you peeking at? If you want to look, just look openly!"

  "Bang!"

  Lu Ye glanced at the tightly closed door and looked at Ye Xuan with some concern: "Will it affect you?"

  "No, they're all brothers, I have a sense of propriety. By the way, Ye Er's recent performance has improved very quickly, worthy of praise."

  Lu Ye raised her head and glanced at Ye Xuan's eyes, which were full of smile: "Can't we make a deal? When you talk to me, don't use the tone you'd use when talking to a kid."

  "You were originally a child..." received a knife-like gaze from someone. Ye Xuan quickly apologized: "Okay, okay, I'll be more careful in the future."

  "This is just about right!"

  “……”

  "Yèr, you came and didn't even say a word to me." When the two of them arrived at the first floor hall, Qū Yuè welcomed them with a smile, her eyes lingering on Yè Xīn for a moment. "And who is this?"

  "This is Ye Da Ge and this is Qu Yue Ge Ge. If we count by age, Qu Yue Ge Ge is younger."

  "Hello! Hello!" Qu Yue stretched out her hand and shook hands with Ye Xuan. Then she looked at Luo Ye again: "Ye Er, are you leaving? I heard from the waiter that you came to eat with a girl, how...".

  "Brother Qu Yue is afraid I'll be sold?" Luo Ye smiled and waved her hand: "It's too late, let's not bother you with this now, we can talk another day."

  "Yè!" Qu Yue chased after her, pulling Luo Ye to one side. With a worried face: "I've never heard of this person, nor have I seen him. Why don't I send you back instead?"

  "It's alright, don't worry about it, he's as trustworthy as family, so rest assured. By the way, what are you still doing here so late?" Luo Ye flashed a sly smile: "Not up to no good, I hope?"

  Lu Ye's sentence "He can be trusted like my family" made Qu Yue's heart sink, but his face still had a sunny smile: "Ye Er is joking with her brother again, I'm such a pure good man, who would do bad things? I'll wait for our Ye Er to grow up."

  "You're always so improper, I'm leaving if nothing's going on." Luo Ye turned to leave, but Qu Yue pulled her back: "Ye, do you really believe it?"

  "When did Brother Qu Yue become so nagging?" Luo Ye shook off Qu Yue's hand that was holding onto her own: "Listen, I'm leaving."

  "This girl!" Qu Yue speechlessly rubbed her forehead, quickly took out her phone to call Luo Feng, and after describing the situation, Luo Feng replied with a sentence: "I know who it is, I trust you."

  "Luofeng, you know what I'm thinking, but Ye'er is too young. I don't want to make things difficult for her. At least let's wait until she finishes her exams. Can you give me a straight answer? What's the relationship between that guy and Ye'er?"

  "For now, there's no relationship between them. He hasn't appeared in a long time, and Ye Er probably just ran into him by chance. As for whether he has the same thoughts as you, I don't dare to confirm."

  "Qū Yuè, I won't interfere with my sister's affairs arbitrarily, but no matter who it is, if they dare to do something that wrongs my sister, I, Luò Fēng, will risk my life to fight for her justice."

  "Do you know, why are you so serious? What kind of person I am, you don't know?" Qu Yue sighed softly: "It doesn't matter if I tell you, I've secretly opened several stores in Sha City, the funds didn't come from Liang You Lian Shuo, if I wasn't truly thinking of doing good for her, why would I do this?"

  "Qu Yue, I appreciate you because you never put pressure on Ye Er, just like a real brother taking care of her. But she's still too young, I don't know what to say, I just hope that in the future, no one will get hurt." Luo Feng's mood was also conflicted, hoping for other boys to pamper and spoil his sister, yet worrying about his sister being snatched away too early... Torn!

  "Thank you, Luo Feng, no matter what the future holds, thank you!" Qu Yue smiled brightly: "Even if Ye Er doesn't choose me, I will still treat her well as before. Wherever she goes, my career will expand to wherever she is!"

  ……

  Ye Xuan's car was a semi-new Beijing Jeep, equipped with a semi-automatic air conditioner. After adjusting the temperature, it felt warm and comfortable, without any loud wind noise or flying dust. Luo Ye leaned back on the comfortable chair: "On the way here, I almost got blown to death by the air conditioner."

  "Ye Er, does Lian Shuo have an investment in Ye Er?" Ye Xuan asked casually, glancing at Luo Ye.

  Lu Ye nodded and said, "Yes, I took 18%, originally it was 15%, because Qingqing sister almost undertook all the management affairs, Qu Yue voluntarily adjusted to 18%, he put most of his energy into the Qu family group, on the side of Liangyou, we have a meeting every month. By the way, Fu Mo also has 7.5% investment. Night brother should know, right?"

  "Why is it called Qu Yue Ge Ge?" Ye Xuan answered with another irrelevant sentence.

  "It was Qu Yue's own request, he said 'Qu Da Ge' feels too distant. He asked me to call him 'Qu Yue Ge Ge', we've been cooperating very happily and often play together, so I just went along with his wish and called him 'Qu Yue Ge Ge'."

  "Ah!" Ye Xuan nodded and fell silent again.

  Lu Ye leaned back in his chair, looking bored. He glanced at someone's perfectly contoured profile and turned his eyes: "Night brother, tell me the truth, have you ever had a girlfriend?"

  "No!" Yexuan replied without hesitation.

  "Is there a girl you like?" You Ye continued to gossip.

  "No!" This time he paused for a long while.

  "Hmph... I'm sure you have a crush on some girl, never mind. I'll let it go, I won't ask who it is." She glanced outside and quickly poked Ye Xuan: "We're almost at the entrance, hurry up and stop, don't let others see you."

  "It's okay, just stop at the entrance."

  Until Luo Ye's figure was out of sight, Ye Xuan didn't start the car and turn around to leave, driving forward for several hundred meters. He slammed on the brakes, knocking his head in frustration. How could he not help but say such inexplicable words?

  But when he heard her soft and sweet call "Qu Yue Gege", why did he feel so uncomfortable in his heart? It's clear, he must have not seen Qingzhu for a long time, and his loving sisterly feelings had been transferred to Xiaoyao.

  What a little scamp!

  ……

  "Hello?" Luo Ye answered the phone drowsily.

  "Yèr, thank you. I'm afraid I caused you a lot of trouble last night?" Song Xiaoyang's voice came over, sounding completely sober again.

  Lu Ye leaned against the headboard, glanced at the time, and it was only 5:00 am. "Nothing, the waiters helped, why did you get up so early? Don't you have a headache?"

  "Yèr, I'm going to take the 5:30 bus back to the provincial city, I was afraid you'd worry about me, so I hesitated for a long time before deciding to wake you up, I'm really sorry."

  Lu Ye hastily laughed and said, "It's nothing, normally I get up at 6 o'clock to exercise, today I'll just get up a bit earlier, the early bird gets the worm, right? Xiao Yang Jie have a safe trip!"

  "Yèr......" Song Xiaoyang's voice was somewhat hesitant.

  "What's wrong? If there's anything you need help with, just say it, little sister." Luo Ye guessed her concern and could only use a cheerful tone to pretend she didn't know anything.

  "There's nothing I need help with, I just remembered... that... did I talk nonsense yesterday? The embarrassing kind?"

  "How should I put it? Anyway, you just keep saying that you like Yang Xing, nothing else to say. If this is considered shameful, then so be it?"

  It's clear that the other person is also embarrassed to ask this, otherwise they wouldn't have added the sentence 'the kind that's very embarrassing'. They're all smart people, so Luo Ye naturally knows how to give them a comforting pill.

  "Yèr, if there's anything I've done that's not up to par and has made you unhappy, please forgive me. Being born into this kind of family is really a helpless thing. And also, if my grandfather calls you, just say we're always together, okay?"

  "No problem!"

  "Yexi, I was so envious of you when I heard that you took a day off yesterday. Growing up, whenever I wanted to go anywhere other than the Yang's house, my family would always ask me a million questions. You're such a lucky person, Little Ye! I sincerely hope you can always be happy!"

  "Thank you, Little Ocean will be happy too!"

  "It's probably not going to be possible anymore, after I go back, I estimate that I'll have to get engaged, Ye Er, you must hold on tight to the happiness in your hands, you must hold on!" On the other end of the phone, Song Xiao Yang's voice became choked: "Goodbye!"

  Listening to the "beep" sound from the receiver, Luo Ye couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. It seemed that she was indeed happy. Song Xiaoyang's visit to the Yang family this time was probably also the last warning given by her family. If it didn't work out here, they would have to try their luck elsewhere. From what she said, it seemed that when she came to the Yang family, her family had also been tracking her phone calls, and she really didn't have any freedom!

  ……

  In the sweltering heat of July, a faint coolness can be felt in the morning. The campus of No. 2 Middle School is filled with joyful songs and laughter everywhere. The college entrance examination has been held, and today is the graduation ceremony for the third-year high school students. The younger brothers and sisters also basked in the glory, all dressed up in brand new clothes.

  "Goodbye. This time we really have to part ways." Xing Nu's eyes were brimming with tears as she grasped Luo Ye's arm, her gaze filled with reluctance.

  Luoye smiled and gently scratched the tip of her nose: "Didn't we agree that I would come back during the holidays? Look at you, you're being coy again."

  "I'm just not resigned to it, Xing Nong must be with your classmate. What's even more infuriating is that Mo Yao Guang might also be with your classmate. It's just me who can't!" Ying Nuo was so angry that she pinched her own thigh: "I should have trained harder earlier, if I had passed the physical exam, there would still be a glimmer of hope, right?"

  "Alright, stop tormenting yourself." Luo Ye smiled and pointed at Xing Dou and Mo Yaoguang who were approaching: "Look, speak of the devil, Cao Cao is here!"

  "Is Nono talking bad about me again?" Xing Tong loosened Yao Guang's hand. He placed his hand on Nono's shoulder: "Just by looking at your expression, I know you're talking bad about me again!"

  "It's not that I'm not envious, it's just that you have the opportunity to be with Luoluo. As for me, I may have to face a completely unfamiliar environment and strangers."

  "Hey, do you want me to calculate whether you'll be facing unfamiliar environments and people?" Mo Yaoguang reached out to lift Yǐng Nuò's chin, but was swatted away by a slap: "Scram!"

  After Tang Luo left, Xing Nong and Mo Yaoguang surprisingly became good friends. Gradually, Mo Yaoguang also accepted Luo Ye and Ying Nuo, but she was still closer to Xing Nong. Her habit of pretending to be a man was naturally preserved, and when speaking with several people, she always referred to herself as "brother".

  About Mo Yaoguang's habit, as everyone guessed, the Mo family had no male heir. After Mo Yaoguang's parents gave birth to him, his grandfather wanted to save face and told his son and daughter-in-law to tell outsiders that Mo Yaoguang was a boy.

  She was raised as a boy, and with her grandfather's indoctrination from an early age, Mo Yaoguang firmly refused to acknowledge that she was a girl.

  Alternatively, or to put it another way, she didn't want Grandpa to be heartbroken. He loved her the most and always referred to her as his grandson, so she absolutely couldn't let him lose face or be disappointed (a pair of grandfather and granddaughter who were like two peas in a pod).

  Xing Nong's character, with a good and chivalrous heart, also intentionally got close to Yao Guang after learning about her situation, eventually letting her put down her guard and accepting her.

  Yao Guang, who was robbed of the spotlight by Nuo Bai and didn't get what he wanted, returned to Xing Nong's side with a sullen expression: "It's really not interesting, our family's Xing Nong is still the best."

  "That's it, I'll go crazy with you!" Yǐng Nuò deliberately pulled away from the other person, her small face scrunched up again: "I have no confidence in my scores, what to do? Won't need to repeat a year?"

  "Alright, you're going to be a lucky Lin Sao soon." Luo Ye slapped her with some annoyance. This girl had been entangled in her own thoughts since the exam was over, and it seemed like she would never be free from them. Come to think of it, how come she hadn't noticed this girl's entanglement before?

  "Luoye!" The class teacher shouted from afar.

  Luoye and a few others waved their hands: "You all go back to your respective classes, see you later!"

  "Teacher Yu, what can I do for you?" Luo Ye smiled and looked at Yu Qing, she still liked this warm-hearted teacher.

  "Lo Yeh, teacher wants to ask you, who from your family is coming to today's graduation ceremony?"

  "My mom." Luo Ye reacted suddenly after answering, and seemed to realize who her old man was?

  "Can't you let your mom be the parent representative?" Yu Qing said, then quickly explained: "You're our class's fastest-improving student. When we were assigned classes, you ranked 18th in the class and 46th in the grade, but on the last exam, you ranked 3rd in the class and 11th in the grade."

  "This progress speed is the first in our school's history, so the teacher wants to invite your mom to be a parent representative and give a speech. Can you call your mom ahead of time and tell her about it?"

  Luo Ye looked at Yu Qing with a puzzled expression: "Teacher Yu, didn't other classes confirm the parent speaker before the exam?"

  It's been two chapters since I last updated. Today was a busy day at work and I finally finished early, so I can update earlier too, yeah.
