Chapter 88 Shocked

  The bright and beautiful youth shines through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The heat of the day has dissipated, leaving only a faint scent of lilac in the air. Luo Ye stretches comfortably and sniffs: "Brother, let's plant a lilac tree in Master's courtyard too. Its overbearing fragrance is just like Master's overbearing personality."

  "Let Master hear it again and you'll be punished." Luo Feng hesitated for a moment, saying: "Ye Er, in the future, don't play jokes on Ge, especially not in front of Nuo Nuo, girls have thin skin, it's not good."

  Lu Ye smiled and said, "I know you're worried, I'll be more careful in the future." Thinking of how that girl had looked away shyly when they parted ways, Lu Ye felt extremely pleased.

  "You're the one who likes to bully your brother the most." Luo Feng helplessly poked his little sister's nose: "Nuo Nuo is your best friend, I'm reminding you for your own good, you ungrateful little rascal."

  "Okay, okay, I was wrong about you, brother." Luo Ye hugged Luo Feng's arm: "Brother, accompany me to buy a cell phone tomorrow, okay?"

  "Okay, but..." Luo Feng looked at her sister worriedly: "You think... will Dad agree?"

  "Those who agree, don't always think of dad as being so old-fashioned. In the past, we didn't take the initiative to get close to him, that's why we thought he was old-fashioned. Hasn't brother noticed how much dad has changed?"

  "I'm not as afraid of Dad as I used to be." Luo Feng patted his sister's head: "Unconsciously, Ye Er's change has led everyone to change along with her."

  "That's it." Luo Ye shook his head, "Alright, brother, what are your true feelings towards Nono? Although I've been trying to bring you two together, if there's not even a bit of feeling between you, then I won't continue doing these useless things that annoy people. Brother, speak your mind honestly."

  "Yè ér, asking like this makes me not know how to answer," Luo Feng rubbed his forehead in distress: "Let's put it this way. Before, when I only heard about her but hadn't seen her, you told me a lot about what she did, so my impression of her was naturally pretty good."

  "When I met her, she was as beautiful as Yezi described, but since she's Yezi's best friend, I feel a bit awkward in my heart. Especially after what you did, I'm even more unsure of how to interact with her."

  "If I didn't stir up trouble, you wouldn't have thought of this for the time being." Luo Ye let out a light sigh: "Actually, I'm not randomly setting up blind dates either. Brother's personality is too strong and girls with too much character might not like it that much. At the same time, those kinds of girls would also make brother gradually lose himself."

  "This carefree and lovely personality of Yīng Nuò is most suitable for her brother, and I also believe that her brother is a devoted and sentimental man who will make the slightly sensitive Yīng Nuò happy."

  "Yexi's analysis is very reasonable, I'm clear about my own personality defects. I've been trying to correct them all along. Yexi, how about this? Give me some time, a period of time for me to remake myself. When I think I've become a truly responsible man, I'll ask Nono if she's willing, and if so, we can try being together for a while. How is that?"

  "Good!" Since her brother said so, Luo Ye naturally wouldn't have a different opinion anymore. Moreover, this result was exactly what she wanted to hear.

  "Brother did this also not wanting to affect the friendship between Ye Er and Nuo Nuo." Luo Feng let out a light sigh: "Mom's matters, made me understand. A personality that is too weak-willed and indecisive will really harm others and oneself."

  "Mom and Grandpa will get along eventually. Brother, let's work together to make Grandpa's family look at us with new eyes, not seeking to gain from Grandpa's family, but we absolutely cannot lose face in front of Mom and Dad, okay?"

  In the moonlight, his dark eyes shone with a dazzling light, and that confidence quickly infected Luo Feng. With a heroic pat on his chest, he said, "Let's listen to Ye Er, we'll work together!"

  The brother and sister chattered all the way, unknowingly entering the municipal party committee's residential compound. It was past 8 o'clock in the evening, and there weren't many people strolling around the courtyard, so the two figures walking ahead of them were particularly eye-catching.

  Lu Ye glanced a few times and then poked Lu Feng: "Brother, look at the figure in front, it looks so familiar, hmm... especially like English teacher Yang Mingfang."

  "It's also possible that it was her, maybe she came to visit relatives." Luo Feng guessed.

  Lu Ye nodded: "There's a possibility of what you said, but there's another possibility that she's taking the back door. Brother, I don't get along with her, let's slow down and avoid running into her to say hello."

  The brother and sister slowed down their pace and followed behind, only to find that the two people in front of them had been taking the same route all along. In the end, they even...even turned into the building where Luo's family lived.

  "I'm quite certain that was Yang Mingfang, the light just happened to shine on her face." Luo Ye curled her lip: "Whatever the reason, it makes me look down on her, but it's no wonder she's been stuck at that level and hasn't been transferred away."

  "Okay, don't be angry anymore. Anyway, she won't be teaching high school third grade, so Yuer won't have to look at her face in the future."

  "I'm actually quite magnanimous, it's just that she can't tolerate others." Luo Ye pulled up Luo Feng: "Forget it, let's go home. Even if we're as slow as a snail now, we shouldn't encounter anything."

  "Little Toto, next time let Song Ball carry you over, that little thing needs to lose weight." Luo Ye had just entered the door when Toto flew over, followed by a twisting and turning Little Song Ball, whose plump body was almost round.

  "Yè ér, fēng ér, have you sent Nuò nuò back home?" A warm voice came from afar.

  "Hmm, safely sent home, hasn't Uncle Jiang left yet?" Luo Ye said as she bent down to pick up the pouting Little Song Ball.

  "No, Little Ye won't come back, how can Uncle bear to leave? Uncle has decided to stay overnight at Ye's house tonight, I hope Ye doesn't mind?" Jiang Zheng's voice came over with a smile.

  "I wish Uncle would live here every day, why would he be disgusted?" Luo Ye stood up and glanced into the hall, coincidentally meeting Yang Mingfang's shocked gaze.

  Luoye scratched her head in confusion, and according to her impression, Yang Mingfang and her family were definitely not relatives, so there was only one possibility - going through the back door!

  "Yè ér, she really is at odds with you. You try to avoid her, but she's always coming after you, making it impossible for you to dodge. Now, even if you don't want to greet her, it's not possible." Luo Feng said this with a hint of schadenfreude.

  "Alas, if only we had strolled around outside a bit longer, I would have already eaten dinner and wouldn't be affecting my appetite now."

  Luofeng smiled and gently poked Luoye: "Stop nagging, she's been looking over here anyway. Since you're already here, let's go quickly, okay?"

  Luo Ye smiled and walked over: "Hello Teacher Yang, you... are here for a home visit?"

  "Luoye... don't... don't tease the teacher, the teacher won't teach you anymore, who has the qualifications for a home visit?" Yang Mingfang stuttered and replied, her shocked expression clearly visible. She had always thought that this student was from a poor household, but... this was too unexpected.

  "Isn't this a home visit? Are you here to report me?" Luo Ye looked pitifully at Wen Xin: "Mom, I have the right to appeal, no matter what the teacher said, let me defend myself!"

  "Luoye. The teacher's previous behavior was really wrong, the teacher apologizes to you, forgive the teacher, okay?" Yang Mingfang's face turned bright red.

  "How dare I make the teacher apologize to me..."

  Wen Xin smiled and patted Luo Ye's palm: "Ye, don't mess with the teacher. Yang Laoshi's husband and your dad are colleagues, they're discussing something in the study room, not looking for you."

  "Really?" Luo Ye looked relieved: "That's good, scared me to death. If Dad thought I had revealed his identity, he would have killed me."

  "Teacher Yang. The child's father has never allowed the child to reveal his identity outside, so this matter still needs your help. It's for the child's safety and also to prevent the children from becoming arrogant."

  Yang Mingfang smiled and said, "I know, I know, I won't tell anyone, including my niece. But this kid's progress is really fast. At this rate of development, it's possible to get into a key school."

  "Really?" Hearing others praise one's daughter is naturally heartwarming.

  "Mom, where's Grandpa?" Luo Ye glanced at the time: "He won't be resting now, will he?"

  "No, Old Man Song has been here. He's taken your grandfather to the vegetable garden for on-site teaching." Warmly said with a smile, Grandpa meant to say it again tomorrow, but Old Man Song couldn't wait even a minute, and pulled Grandpa down like a spoiled child.

  "Grandpa is now a standard pastry master." Luo Ye smiled and sat down beside Jiang Zheng: "Uncle Jiang, next time you come, you can eat the fresh vegetables grown by my grandpa."

  "I'll definitely come to try it out." Jiang Zheng smiled and patted Luo Ye's head: "Ye, you've really made progress in half a year. Tell me, what reward do you want? Uncle will give it to you."

  Luo Ye's eyes rolled around and she leaned in close to Jiang Zheng: "Uncle Jiang, I said it before, you really will keep your promise?"

  "As long as it's within Uncle's capability, I will definitely fulfill it." Jiang Zheng nodded, but left some leeway for himself. The little girl had changed a lot, and he needed to be cautious in his words.

  "Uncle Ye, shouldn't you also give a gift for meeting?" Seeing Ye Xuan's gaze towards her was clearly looking at a mischievous child, a hint of cunning flashed in Yue's eyes.

  "Uncle Ye again? Ye Xuan, who had heard this title once more, touched his nose speechlessly. Seeing Jiang Zheng with an expression of watching a good show glance at himself, he nodded: "Alright, my gift is the same as Uncle Jiang's."

  Lu Ye's eyes curved into a crescent moon shape: "Great, I don't want others to know about my gift, let's talk in the guest room, brother, you come too."

  Jiang Zheng stood up with a pleased expression: "Alright, this is quite mysterious. Xiao Ye, let's work together."

  "You little scamp, you have a lot of bad habits."

  "It's not a big deal, mainly because I'm afraid you'll scold me for taking advantage of Uncle in front of you." Luo Ye smiled at Yang Mingfang: "Teacher Yang, sorry about that."

  Yang Mingfang smiled flatteringly and stood up: "Won't won't."

  As soon as Luo Ye and others disappeared from the door, Yang Mingfang looked at Wen Rou with a flustered expression: "Madam, my previous methods were not good, please forgive me. Don't take it to heart, I promise that if anyone bullies Luo Ye in the future, I will help her without revealing her identity. Is that okay?"

  "Wen Xin smiled faintly and said, 'Teacher Yang, Ye Er is not a narrow-minded child, and my husband and I will not make things difficult for you over such a small matter. Don't worry about it. And from now on, just call me Wen Xin.'"

  "Thank you, madam!" Yang Mingfang didn't change her tone, but cast a worried glance at the tightly closed door of the study. The couple had come here once before, bringing gifts, but were politely sent away by Mayor Luo.

  This time, the couple took a lesson and didn't bring any gifts. The husband brought out a plan he had prepared for a long time to show the mayor, but it's unclear whether it will be useful or not.

  ……

  Inside the room.

  Luoye carefully poured tea for Jiang Zheng and Ye Xuan, holding her two treasures in her arms, and sat opposite the two with a serious expression.

  "Yè ér, with such a grand setup, I'm really curious what you want. Speak up!"

  Luoye smiled sweetly at the two: "The requirements are not high, just send one mobile phone per person. It's just right for me and my brother to have one each. Of course, I won't mind if there's more, on the condition that it's a civilian internal machine, and not something bought."

  Certain Ye Shizi opened his mouth, with Jiang Zheng's authority, he can get a civilian internal machine, the signal function is incomparable to ordinary mobile phones, this is not something that can be bought with money, it's already in front of him, if he doesn't take a bite, it would be a waste.

  Jiang Zheng's expression turned serious: "How did Ye Er know about the civilian internal machine?" The civilian internal machine was specially prepared for their family members, and few people knew about this matter. It was unlikely that Luo Zheng would tell his children about such a thing.

  Luo Ye's face was speechless: "Uncle Jiang, I really admire you. When you came to my house a few years ago, didn't you sit in the hall and personally tell my dad that?"

  "Did I say that?" Jiang Zheng was somewhat skeptical.

  Luo Ye pouted: "At that time, Uncle joked that my dad's mobile phone signal was poor, showing off that your civilian internal machines are many times stronger than my dad's. I've been remembering it all along, and after waiting for so long, I finally have the opportunity to bring it up. Does Uncle think I will miss it?"

  When Luo Ye said this, Jiang Zheng was also confused. It's just that he had such a shallow time? However, given his relationship with Luo Zheng, it's really possible to do something like that, but it's also too embarrassing.

  "I'm guessing you and Dad have both forgotten, I remember because I didn't get one, so of course I want the best." Luo Ye sighed: "If Uncle is having a hard time then forget it, just pretend I never said anything."

  "Little girl, are you still going to argue with your uncle?" Jiang Zheng smiled: "However, it's okay if Uncle sends you. Logically speaking, he and your dad are best friends, so they can barely be considered your relatives. But what about Xiao Ye?"

  "If Uncle Xiao Ye feels embarrassed and doesn't want to give it, that's okay too. I couldn't possibly have the nerve to take advantage of our relationship." Luo Ye smiled mischievously at Ye Xuan, but when she met his deep purple eyes, her uncle was left speechless, covering up with a laugh: "Is Little Ye a mixed-blood?"

  "Xiao Ye is what you called? You should respect your uncle." Ye Xuan's eyes quickly filled with amusement, it's not easy to make this little girl feel uneasy.
