Chapter 53: CH 25.2

unedited

The two children were in dire straits, and they didn’t put the adults in their eyes at all. Seeing that a fight was about to start, Ye Linchuan and Mother Xia pulled their children apart.

“Ziyu, you can’t quarrel with a younger sister.” Ye Linchuan said in a cold voice.

Ziyu struggled to rush forward like a little wolf dog, “I don’t have a sister like her!”

Xia Qing was unconvinced, “I don’t have a brother like him either!”

The two looked at each other——

“Pft–!”

They turned away and refused to speak to each other again.

Ye Ya, caught in the eye of the storm, shrank her small body, lost. She looked at the angry Ziyu and then at the unhappy Xia Qing, her eyelashes flapping, her face full of doubts.

The two children were calmed, and the rest of the work was to coax Ye Ya home.

Ye Qinghe walked up to Ye Ya and squatted down, his eyes full of color, “Is Ye Ya going to marry Sister Xia Qing?”

Ye Ya nodded.

Ye Qinghe fiddled with the hair on the little doll’s cheeks, “But you have already promised to marry Brother, so you can no longer marry Sister Xia Qing.”

She tugged at her little finger and muttered in a low voice, “Yaya can get married with Brother and Sister.”

“No, unless Ya Ya divorces Brother first.”

What is divorce?

The strange vocabulary made Ye Ya’s little head confused.

“Do you want to abandon your brother and Ziyu to stay here and marry someone else?”

Ye Ya wrinkled the tip of her nose in distress, and rushed over without hesitation, “Ye Ya doesn’t want to abandon Brother and little Ziyu. No divorce~”

Well, children are easy to cheat.

Ye Qinghe hugged his younger sister, hiding his merits and fame.

Ye Linchuan, who stood behind and watched the whole process, frowned in confusion, and began to re-examine his eldest son, who had just turned 12 years old. Why was this child so scheming at a young age? Whose genes did he inherit?

After appeasing his sister, Ye Qinghe packed her schoolbag and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Ye Ya was silent again.

“You have to give the ransom before Yaya can leave.”

？

Ye Linchuan smiled angrily, not caring about the sneers of others, “You really think yourself expensive. Enough to pay the ransom.”

When he spoke, Ye Ya was unhappy, and snorted angrily, “Ransom!”

“Ok.” Ye Linchuan’s eyelids drooped, and his voice was hoarse with laziness, “Then who am I going to give the ransom?”

Ye Ya pointed to Xia Qing, “Sister Qingqing~”

This is probably a child’s trick again.

Ye Linchuan just wanted to leave quickly, and immediately asked, “How much is the ransom?”

Ye Ya bit her finger and thought for a while, “Ten yuan.” No, no, it was too little, Sister Qingqing was so good, she should be paid back a little more money. Ye Ya once again counted the ten short fingers, and finally stretched out two index fingers to Ye Linchuan, “Eleven yuan!” The two tender words were spoken heavily, as if she were very expensive.

Ye Linchuan took a deep breath, shook his head helplessly, took out his wallet and rummaged inside.

Seeing this, Father Xia hurriedly stopped, “Mr. Ye, you really don’t have to. It’s just children’s play, you don’t have to take it seriously.”

Ye Linchuan raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Ya, who was waiting for him to pay, and sneered, “The child is not joking.”

He lowered his head and continued to look for money. Except for a few bank cards and documents, there was only a stack of one hundred yuan bills in his wallet. The arc of Ye Linchuan’s lips slowly narrowed at a speed visible to the naked eye, the tail of his eyes drooped, and two stripes stood up in the center of his eyebrows.

The atmosphere was awkward, and everyone realized that Mr. Ye might not have any change.

“Qinghe, give her eleven.”

Ye Qinghe was sincere, “I didn’t bring any money out.”

Ye Linchuan took a deep breath, took out one hundred yuan and stuffed it into Ye Ya’s hand, “Here, ransom.”

Ye Ya grabbed the money and looked around, “Is this real?” She took out the ten yuan Xia Qing gave from her pocket again, and after comparing it back and forth, she was sure, “This is fake.”

Ye Linchuan felt that he was going to die here from the anger!

He took out the one hundred yuan and forcibly handed it to Xia Qing, then bent over and picked Ye Ya up, “Then I will take the child back. I will visit another day.”

“Wait, Mr. Ye, the money…”

“Buy candy for the child.” He strode away without looking back.

Ye Qinghe took Ye Ya’s small school bag and Ziyu’s hand, hurriedly chasing his father.

Xia Qing, who was nestling in her mother’s arms, was holding the brand-new one-hundred-dollar bill, feeling very melancholy. She turned to her mother and asked, “Mom, can you buy Yaya for two hundred yuan?” I can give Uncle Ye all the money from the piggy bank.”

“…”

**

Ye Linchuan’s trip to Xia’s house exhausted all his energy. After getting in the car, he leaned on the back of his chair and said nothing, closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep.

Ye Ya sat between the two elder brothers, still holding her hands on her chest, angrily ignoring everyone.

“Yaya can’t sneak out again in the future. There are many bad guys who will take Bud Bud away and sell her. If you get sold, you will never see your brothers again.” Ye Qinghe touched her hair, “Got it?”

“I didn’t sneak out.”

“You did.”

“I didn’t.” Ye Ya said without being very convincing, “I ran out fair and square!”

She left a small note, she didn’t sneak out.

Ye Linchuan glanced at her obliquely and closed her eyes again.
