Chapter 45: Depression

  Luoye was really unwilling to be driven back to the room like this, her body twisted and looked seriously at her father: "Dad, do you believe me?"

  "What if it's believable? What if it's not?" Luo Zheng was smiling at his daughter, the information revealed in his eyes was: "What kind of trouble are you getting into again?"

  Lu Ye pretended not to see her father's teasing gaze: "Dad, if you trust me, let me take a look at the materials on the table." Seeing her father's eyebrows about to furrow again, she quickly explained: "I just caught a glimpse of the name 'Huang Cheng Construction Group', and I think one of our customers' husbands from Wēn Xīn Yuàn had an unpleasant experience with this company.

  I'm quite curious how this company's name ended up on Dad's documents, I wonder if Dad is unhappy about something related to this company? If that's the case, who knows, maybe I can help Dad!

  "Yeh, Daddy trusts you very much, but the things on this document are still in a confidential stage. Daddy can't violate the principle. Yeh, go back to your room and sleep!"

  "Alright, Dad should rest early too, I'm going back to my room!" Knowing that continuing would be useless, Luoye got up and went back to her room to sleep. In fact, even if she didn't look at it, she was certain what the document was.

  She had been stretching her neck to guess for half a day, and after getting confirmation, she was clear about how to control the pace of progress. What worried her now was what kind of handle her father had grasped in Liu Zhenghang's hands.

  She must figure this out as soon as possible, otherwise, even if she really steals back the evidence of Liu Zhenghang's crime and sends him to prison as she wishes, what if he reveals the truth about her father?

  Dad is a man of his word, and there's also the possibility that when Liu Zhenghang promoted Dad, Dad promised to help him out. However, based on my observations and understanding of Dad over this period of time, it seems unlikely.

  This inference is only suitable for her previous life's understanding of Dad, thinking that when she just came back, she hated Dad so much that she was gnashing her teeth, now thinking about it, it really shouldn't be like this.

  Fortunately, summer vacation is coming soon, she can also ask her grandfather about it, maybe he will know.

  Thinking of seeing her grandfather, Luo Ye was so excited that she couldn't sleep. Her grandfather loved her and her siblings very much. Because Luo Ye had said that the pumpkins grown in the sandy soil in front of the yard were particularly delicious, every year the old man would plant a few ridges.

  The key is that in order to accommodate his grandchildren's summer vacation, the old man can only plant what is commonly known as "summer melon", which is harvested in the summer and is particularly troublesome to care for. If watered too much, it won't be sweet; if watered too little, it will wither away. The old man thus attends to those few melons like a nanny caring for children.

  After the brother and sister spent their summer vacation, the old man would dig up a few roasted ones for the brother and sister to satisfy their cravings every day. When they went home, he would pack a few more bags, and the leftovers would be cooked and dried into pumpkin jerky, specially sent over for his grandchildren.

  Grandpa's dried pumpkin, soft and sweet, made Luo Ye drool in bed. Thinking of Grandpa's kind face, Luo Ye couldn't wait to get up early and take the bus over.

  When she first came back, she thought of visiting her grandfather on Saturday and Sunday, but thinking that there were already many changes in herself, for the sake of long-term consideration, she could only hold back her thoughts and dispel the idea.

  ……

  As a result of Luo Fang's injury this time, he will not be able to attend Liu Zhenghang's father's birthday banquet, no matter what the reason is.

  Luoye figured out that Liu Zhengxing wasn't reborn, and didn't want to see him again. There was also another person she didn't want to see, so she wanted to find an excuse not to go. Unfortunately, her dad and mom were both going, her brother wasn't going, and neither was her sister. What's the point of that?

  On Friday after the third class, Luo Ye's mood became inexplicably low as she thought about how close it was to seeing those people she disliked.

  "Lolo, what's wrong with you? Didn't sleep last night?" Xing Nuo looked at Luo Ye, who was drooping his head on the book with a listless expression, with a curious face.

  This girl has been full of energy lately, yesterday's physical education class running warm-up surprised the physical education teacher, not only did she not faint, but also her face was not red and she was not panting.

  According to a classmate who went to the school clinic for an IV, Dr. Zhang and Old Man Wang both asked him if Luo Ye had transferred schools and why they hadn't seen her recently.

  "The night before last I didn't sleep much, but I slept well yesterday!" Luo Ye still looked weak and listless.

  Tang Luo turned around and poked Luo Ye: "Luo Luo, you're not intimidated by the mid-term exam next Monday, are you? I don't befriend losers."

  Lu Ye rolled her eyes speechlessly: "I'm tired, can I take a rest for a while?"

  Ying Nuo also put his little head on the book and stared at Luo Ye: "Luo Luo, didn't you say that you would change my image? How about tomorrow? Next week's exam, we'll have a new image and a new atmosphere, who knows, I might just win first prize."

  Tang Luo pouted: "If anyone is going to take it, it's me! This time I won't let you have it!"

  Ying Nuo didn't get angry, but smiled sweetly: "Okay, there's progress in catching up, let's see who did better on this exam!"

  "Losers buy KFC!" Tang Luo's eyes shone with excited light.

  "Is this all you're capable of?" Ying Nuo's face was filled with speechlessness.

  "Mainly, my aunt doesn't allow me to eat this so-called junk food, but I like it. With the two of you here, she can't scold me!" Tang Luo explained with embarrassment, his small face flushing a light red.

  Ying Nuo patted Tang Luo's head: "Sister sympathizes with you, my dad will take me to eat on his own initiative, being greedy is not shameful, don't be embarrassed!"

  "How virtuous!" A certain loli rolled her white eyeballs several times.

  Ying Nu turned to Luo Ye again: "Luo Luo, you haven't answered my question yet!"

  Luoye, who had been smiling and watching the two bicker, let out a light sigh: "I'd also like to agree with you, but tomorrow I have to attend an elder's birthday banquet. As for changing your image, let's wait until after the exams are over. At that time, I'll personally take charge of designing it for you, how about that?"

  "No problem after taking the exam, but can the image you designed be seen by people?" Ying Nuo asked, and Tang Luo also nodded in agreement with a skeptical face.

  Lu Ye pouted: "Don't believe it then, have a stylist do it for you later, I'll design it myself!"

  "I'd like to support you with justice, but in order not to scare people, I still choose to believe the stylist!" Tang Luo said, patting his chest fearfully.

  "I am too!" Yǐng Nuò said with a gentle smile: "Luō Luō, don't be angry, loving beauty is the nature of girls!"

  "I get it, you mean I'm no longer a girl since I don't love beauty?" Luo Ye hummed: "Just wait and see my transformation, don't regret it later, sister is only giving you one chance, if you miss this opportunity, there's no way to beg for it!"
