Chapter 123: Confronting Father

  "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Luo Ye smiled and sat beside Grandpa, knowingly asking: "Who is Daddy angry with?"

  Old Luo patted his granddaughter's small hand: "Your dad found out that you're growing up and might be taken away by someone, so he's throwing a tantrum like a child."

  Luo Zhenggang's face turned black: "Dad, why are you being so mean to me? I and Wen Xi are just worried about her."

  "Yexi, Nixuan is indeed very good, but what's going on between you and him, we know it ourselves."

  Moreover, his age is also there, as the eldest son, his family's old master can't wait for him to hold his grandson early, I and your dad are really worried that you're too young and haven't experienced emotions before, and will get hurt in the future.

  Lu Ye couldn't help but look at Grandpa Lu with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Grandfather, you have this worry too?"

  "No, I believe my granddaughter knows what she's doing. She's been persuading your parents for half a day now, but they just can't help worrying." Old Master Luo shook his head: "They still treat Ye as if she were an ignorant child when it comes down to it."

  "Grandpa is so wise!" Luo Ye happily hugged her grandpa and coquettishly said, seeing her dad's displeased glance, she quickly restrained her smile: "Dad and mom, don't worry, what you're worried about won't happen. Dad, I have something to talk to you about, can we go to the study?"

  "What can't be said in front of everyone?" Wen Xinbai's daughter rolled her eyes: "You're also learning from your dad, being mysterious and secretive."

  "Hey, mom..." Luo Ye warmly hugged Wen Xin: "Mainly I'm just passing on some information about dad's work. If dad doesn't mind, I can say it in front of everyone."

  Her father isn't always showing off his vinegar face to her, is he? Then she'll give him a difficult problem and see how he explains it to his dad and wife, huh...

  Lao Ye saw Luo Ye's expression and knew what his grandson and son were going to talk about, feeling relieved yet not wanting his son to be in a difficult situation. He stood up: "I'll go back to my room to rest, I'm old, my body is no longer useful."

  Luo Zhengang was indeed worried about his father, he didn't want his father to misunderstand, knowing that his daughter was going to be a soldier, and could only reluctantly accept it. Now that his father had actively avoided him, he let out a sigh of relief and glared at his daughter: "Still not leaving quickly?"

  "Mom, I'm going."

  "Go ahead and go." I was worried all night before and got a bit emotional, seeing my husband in trouble made me regret it, but my daughter gave me an excuse to get out of there quickly.

  "Yèr......" Luō Fēng leaned in close to his sister and lowered his voice: "A good man doesn't take advantage of what's right in front of him."

  "What are you talking about, you little stinker?" Luo Zhenggang's ears were extremely sharp, and he turned his head to glare at his son with a look of displeasure.

  "Dad, I just told my sister not to make you angry, your health is the most important" This would have scared Luo Feng earlier, but now he's calm and composed, although it looks a bit forced.

  Lu Ye secretly gave a thumbs up, and Lu Feng's eyes lit up instantly, taking in all the warmth around her. She smiled and shook her head: "You two..."

  ……

  Wen Xin waited until 10 o'clock. Luo Zheng had just returned to the house, noticed her husband's expression and smiled: "You look quite happy, what did you talk about?"

  Luo Zheng tightly hugged Wen Xin: "Our daughter... is gone, wife, thank you"

  Wen Xin, who was being tightly hugged, felt a bit breathless and hurriedly poked Luo Zhengyi: "Hey, hey, what's going on? You're not making any sense, can you please explain clearly?"

  "I took a bath, changed clothes and told you, this thing is quite long"

  "Hurry up then..." Warmly pushing her husband: "I've already heated the water for you, and the changed clothes are in the closet."

  "Thank you, wife." Luo Zheng had just kissed her forehead warmly and quickly went to the bathroom.

  Her warm eyes shone with soft light, stroking her forehead and smiling foolishly for a long time. Her husband had always treated her like a treasure, but such intimate scenes were becoming less and less frequent. It seemed he had truly put down the burden in his heart. What exactly did Ye say?

  It was only a dozen or so minutes, but Wen Xi felt like it had been several hours. Seeing Luo Zheng just wiping his hair and walking out, he hurriedly got out of bed. Luo Zheng waved his hand: "No need to blow dry, you can sleep again after we're done talking."

  Wen Xin obediently sat back, and Luo Zheng leaned against his wife's side, letting out a soft sigh: "Wen Xin, we've underestimated our daughter. We thought her changes were significant, but we had no idea how great her real abilities are. I'm ashamed."

  She last asked me about work matters and was even turned back by me, actually, this girl knows everything, has been secretly investigating all along. This time Jiang Zheng came, unexpectedly formed an alliance with Jiang Ye Xuan behind my back, obtained a large amount of evidence, feeling that things are about to be cracked, only then did she come to talk to me.

  Looking at her husband with a warm and puzzled expression: "Zhèng gāng, I've always known that your work isn't going too smoothly, but why does it sound a bit confusing?"

  Luo Zhenggang hesitated for a moment: "Wife, what do you think of Liu Zhengxing?"

  "Warmly thought for a moment: 'It's not bad for our family, it has always been quite helpful, but I always feel a bit awkward. Uncle Liu bullies my dad, he always pretends to be clueless, but it can also be understood, after all, he helped us.'"

  "Actually..." Luo Zheng suddenly paused for a long time, holding Wen Xin in his arms: "In the past, I didn't allow Ye and Feng to reveal their family background. Seeing them being weak and timid, not knowing or asking about anything, knowing they were bullied and not letting you intervene, saying it was a kind of training... You've always listened to me habitually, but shouldn't you have had some thoughts in your heart?"

  Warmly nodding: "Yes, but I know you must have your reasons, so I will completely follow your requirements. You've been working hard to move forward, and the child and I can't add more trouble for you."

  "Warm, marrying you was my greatest fortune, but I was also wrong back then. Now I deeply realize that if Ye Er hadn't changed, our family might have ended up in disarray...". Warm's body shook slightly, and Luo Zheng'an comforted her with a pat: "Don't worry, it's okay now. Let me continue telling you, Liu Zhenghang's help came with conditions - I had to stand on his ship and follow his orders, including the operation of the bidding unit that won the contract. That's why I was torn about the new city district event this time."

  It was originally a good thing, but he asked me to give the project package to his designated company. Those companies are all standard three nos, and all the certificates are relationship certificates. You think, if something really happens to the project, can I still have a way out?

  Recently, I've been worried about this matter. Jiang Zheng noticed my mood was off when he came last time and had a talk with me, you know. Under his inquiry, I told him the thing, and he promised to help me.

  Recently, Song Fangzheng was suddenly promoted and put in charge of the new city district. It's probably because Liu Zhengxing suddenly found out that you're the daughter of the Wen family, and considering Ye Er and Ye Xuan's engagement, he temporarily changed to a scapegoat.

  But Song Fangzheng was very clear about his character, the last time he came to me for a deep talk, it was because of Liu Zhenghang's affairs. The evidence in his hands could have implicated Liu Zhenghang and sentenced him to several decades, but it might be difficult to hurt him severely. We've been discussing finding an appropriate opportunity to do so.

  As a result, some of the evidence Ye showed me tonight was shocking. What she got could have sentenced Liu Zhenghang to life imprisonment. With what I have and what Song Fangzheng has, immediate execution is certain.

  Yeh'er confessed everything, just worried that I would participate myself, let me hand over the evidence to her, and have Ye Xuan and Jiang Zheng take care of it. This way, Liu Zhenghang's matter has nothing to do with me... Wife, don't cry, don't cry, isn't this all settled now?

  Her face was pale, crying to the point of being speechless. She had always thought that her husband's life was not easy, but she never expected it to be so close to that point. She hated herself for not opening up her heart and recognizing her parents earlier. With them around, others would have to show some restraint. If Ye hadn't influenced her husband's character and participated later on, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

  "Yè... how did Yè know all this?" Wēn xīn finally calmed down and quickly asked the question that concerned her most.

  "That girl admitted her mistake, she secretly listened to the phone call where Liu Zhenghang threatened me. I asked her why she ran to the study room that time, it turned out she was looking for evidence. Little girl, she even deceived her own father..."

  Warmly urged to interrupt a certain crazy father: "Don't be in a hurry to get angry, go on"

  "Good, this girl can really get under my skin." Luo Zheng suddenly smiled and said: "However, who does this girl take after? Why is she so clever?"

  It all started from that phone call, and I began to secretly investigate some things about Liu Zhenghang. Coincidentally, when I went out with her classmates, I discovered the secret villa of Liu Zhenghang and Liu Song, those father and son... Luo Zhenggang shook his head: "It's really unbelievable, and it's also pitiful that this little girl has to come into contact with these things at such a young age."

  This little thing last midnight went to dig clams, the purpose was to lure Jiang Zheng and Ye Xuan to that villa to investigate, it was also through that time, she and Jiang Zheng opened up, became Jiang Zheng Ye Xuan's eyes on this side.

  Xiao Wang also made a great contribution, and unexpectedly, Xiao Yatou secretly gave Xiao Wang two recording pens. Every day, she recorded the conversations of the kindergarten bus driver for her. Wife, can you believe this is our daughter? This is really our daughter, if it were someone else's child, it would be troublesome.

  Listening to Luo Zheng's deliberate muttering to himself, Wen Xin finally cracked a smile: "How could you bear to tell me all this?"

  "This matter has already been settled, so don't let you blindly guess and worry about it. I didn't say anything before because I was afraid of getting you all involved in trouble. Wife, I've put you through a lot."

  "The old couple said something about this." Warmly sighed: "Yexi's words are light, but her transformation process must be very difficult. The reason for all this is that we have been hiding everything in the name of love, and almost made a big mistake."

  Luo Zhenggang looked at Wen Xin with a guilty conscience: "From now on, except for matters that must be kept confidential, I will tell you everything else. And there's one more thing I want to confess, the reason why Liu Zhenghang threatened me is because of what happened back then when I saved Second Brother, Wen Xin, I'm sorry."
