Chapter 171: 148 Finally Grown Up

“Dad, Mom?” Ye Xiao was shocked, “Why are they here too?”

This was really a full house.

Ye Bolin was somewhat speechless, “Mom said she was going out shopping, and dad mentioned he had business to deal with at the company.”

As a result, they both showed up here.

All you can say is.

Like family, right?

Ye Bolin couldn’t help but glance at Gu Yan, “The Ye family matters, I don’t know why certain outsiders are always eager to join in.”

Gu Yan was unruffled, “An outsider for now, but who says it’ll always be the case.”

Ye Bolin sneered, Gu Yan’s ambition was truly making no attempt at hiding anymore.

He turned to tattle to Ye Xiao.

But saw Ye Xiao tiptoeing zealously to watch the excitement, pretending to hear nothing.

Seeing how focused Ye Xiao was, it seemed like nothing could capture her attention unless the Earth exploded.

Ye Lin’s eyes flickered slightly, then she suddenly said in a very quiet voice, “Big brother and Gu Yan are hugging each other.”

Ye Bolin, “???”

Gu Yan, “???”

Ye Xiao suddenly turned her head, “What???”

In an instant, her eyes gleamed astonishingly.

Ye Lin couldn’t help but stifle a laugh, “Xiaoxiao, your ears are quite sharp.”

Ye Xiao looked around suspiciously.

So.

Big brother and Gu Yan are hugging each other?

Ye Bolin’s face darkened as he tapped Ye Xiao on the head, “Let’s go, if you want to see what’s going on, go over there.”

Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

The group put on sunglasses and walked over discreetly.

Ye Bolin reached out and patted Ye Mingcheng on the shoulder.

“Wait a minute. I’m about to get it on camera,” Ye Mingcheng was trying to raise his phone higher.

“Dad.” Ye Bolin couldn’t help but call out.

Ye Mingcheng was taken aback, he looked down and saw several kids looking at him and Du Yaru.

The parents exchanged glances, suddenly becoming solemn.

Ye Mingcheng took the phone, “Old Yue, look, these are a few of my good-for-nothing kids. The one at the very end, that’s the third one your son cuckolded. Yep yep yep, the blonde one.”

Ye Zhaoyu, “…”

In the phone screen, a middle-aged couple looked dead serious.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyu, they even waved at him.

Ye Zhaoyu felt terrible.

This was… Yue Heng’s parents.

“Come on, I’ll flip the camera for you, keep watching. There are quite a number of people here, might be a bit hard to see clearly. Bear with us. Yep yep, they are still hugging, seems like they can’t bear to let go of each other.”

“What? He doesn’t answer your calls? Your kid growing wings, not listening to his family anymore? Unlike my kids, all of them are so well-behaved.”

“!!! What’s wrong with Ye Lin going into the entertainment industry? I’m happy to support him. And what about Ye Zhaoyu playing video games, he’s now a male god! My kids, they have more prospects than yours do.”

“Heh, if that’s how you see it. Who made my eldest son so good at business? Even if the rest do nothing, they’ll still live a life of luxury. Not like you, just one child, and even he’s a lousy one.”

“Right, I also have a daughter, do you? Do you?”

Ye Mingcheng suddenly turned the camera toward Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao waved instinctively.

Ye Mingcheng continued bragging, “See? A daughter! Do you have one, huh?”

“`

“Heh, envious? I think it’s useless even if you are envious.”

“Having to deal with Yue Heng like this, your second half of your lives is ruined. When you can’t afford to eat, I can still give you a meal.”

Ye Mingcheng was video calling, arguing furiously with the person on the other end.

Ye Xiao felt a bit lost and couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Big brother, is that Yue Heng’s parents?”

Ye Bolin nodded, “It seems so.”

“Is dad familiar with them?” Ye Xiao couldn’t help but continue, as the book never mentioned this.

Ye Bolin replied, “We’re all in the same industry; we’ve certainly heard of each other. Before, dad had a few competitions with Yue Heng’s father, the outcomes were fifty-fifty. They’re not exactly enemies, but they’re not friends either, just normal business competitors. The Yue Family’s way of doing things has always been quite proper; the competition between our two families has been healthy.”

“It’s just Yue Heng, for some reason, turned out like this.”

Ye Xiao nodded in understanding.

[After suppressing TC Club, Yue Heng did achieve some results. Afterwards, when he talked to his family about being with Tong Simeng again, the Yue Family didn’t obstruct it much at that time. Maybe they thought Yue Heng had the ability to stand on his own, so they didn’t want to interfere with his marriage. But this time… if they knew that Yue Heng’s so-called achievements were obtained through these means, I don’t know if the Yue Family would still agree to their relationship.]

That’s what the plot was.

Some parts had changed, and under the butterfly effect, everything after would change as well.

Ye Xiao was somewhat looking forward to the subsequent developments.

Du Yaru looked worriedly at Ye Zhaoyu a few times, “Zhaoyu…”

Ye Zhaoyu was most afraid of this kind of look, and with some helplessness, he said, “Mom, I’m not that fragile.”

Du Yaru felt instantly relieved, “My youngest has grown up. A real man must bravely face a dismal life! Mom is always proud of you.”

Ye Zhaoyu’s lips twitched.

Saying she’s always proud of him, while his girlfriend is in a deep embrace with another man…

He just couldn’t feel happy at all.

Finally.

An hour passed.

Yue Heng and Tong Simeng at last separated.

The two looked at the crowd around them and panicked completely.

Tong Simeng covered her face a bit and pulled Yue Heng into the hotel!

Oh dear heaven, please let no one recognize her!

She couldn’t afford to lose face like this.

Ye Mingcheng felt somewhat regretful as he put down his phone, “That’s all for now. I think your son and this Tong Simeng actually match well. Since my youngest definitely won’t want this woman, you might as well just let them be together.”

There seemed to be a burst of cursing from the other end.

Ye Mingcheng rubbed his ear and ended the video call.

He looked up to see a line of people neatly looking at him.

Ye Mingcheng coughed lightly, “Why are you all looking at me? Let’s go find a place to sit down; don’t be too conspicuous.”

Everyone nodded in agreement and, led by Du Yaru, they went to a nearby coffee shop.

An eerie silence.

Ye Mingcheng was the first to break it, “Zhaoyu, since you’ve seen everything, there’s no point in hiding it from you now. What are your plans moving forward?”

Ye Zhaoyu felt a bit suffocated, “I still need to gather more evidence.”

Seeing that Ye Zhaoyu was still relatively calm, Ye Mingcheng felt somewhat relieved.

He couldn’t help but say, “I’m comforted to see you’re taking this well. You’ve finally grown up, my youngest.”

Du Yaru also wore a face full of relief.

Ye Zhaoyu felt for some reason that he was somehow not quite able to feel happy.

[Ah, let’s see what these two are doing now.]

Suddenly, Ye Xiao’s inner voice rang out.

Everyone’s gaze shifted, and in perfect unison, they stopped talking, all ears perked up.
