His brows couldn't help but frown, and he hung up without answering.
But it rang again after a moment.
He finally answered, deliberately avoiding Ye Shengsheng and walking to the balcony before speaking:
"What's up?"
On the other end of the phone, the voice of Ye's mother Qiu Zhishu came, "Ah Che, you haven't been home for a long time, and you're not at the Yufu Villa. Where are you?"
"I'm on a business trip."
"How long will the business trip be?"
"Mom, tell me what happened."
Listening to his son's impatient tone, Qiu Zhishu went straight to the point.
"It's like this. I made an appointment with Miss Qu. Let's meet. Look at you. You're already in your thirties and you're still single. Your family is worried."
Ye Che, "..."
Are you arranging a blind date for him again?
He did not agree with the behavior of his elders.
He turned around and looked in the direction of the dining room.
Ye Che saw the mother and daughter having a meal. The scene was beautiful and warm.
He enjoyed the atmosphere of staying with them and told the truth:
"Mom, don't arrange any blind dates for me. I'm not interested in anyone else."
Qiu Zhishu became angry when he heard this, "Then you want to be single for the rest of your life?"
"No, the voice is back, and I'm with her."
"What did you say?"
Qiu Zhishu's expression changed and he asked hurriedly:
"Ye Shengsheng is back?"
"Um."
"Archer, do you still want to be with her?
Have you forgotten that she aborted your child and ran away, that you almost died on the road because of her, and what your grandfather said?
Do you want to piss us off to death? We support whoever you end up with, Archer, but only Ye Shengsheng, your grandfather has said that she is not allowed to step into the Ye family's door again."
Qiu Zhishu was very angry, but he didn't expect Ye Shengsheng to dare to come back.
She went too far in the beginning, wouldn't she be afraid that they would kill her when she came back?
I know my mother is a little emotional.
Ye Che explained unhurriedly:
"Shengsheng didn't abort my child. She came back with my child. The child's name is Lianlian. She is three years old. I will take her to see you another day."
"What?"
Qiu Zhishu was a little confused, "Ye Shengsheng didn't abort the child? Is the child already three years old? A boy or a girl?"
"girl."
"Then, where are she and the child now?"
Ye Che looked at the mother and daughter again, thinking that if his mother showed up, there would be some trouble.
He said: "Mom, you don't need to worry about where they are, just remember that I don't want anyone except Ye Shengsheng.
When the time is right, I will bring my children to see you, so please don’t arrange any more blind dates for me."
Qiu Zhishu immediately said:
"It's not that your mother insists on arranging a blind date for you. Your grandpa pushed for it. Then I'll ask your grandpa later to see if he can still accept Ye Shengsheng for the sake of the child."
I really didn't expect that little girl Ye Shengsheng to trick everyone and leave alone with the child.
But she chose to leave in the first place, so why would she come back now?
Bringing the child to her son to ask for child support?
Qiu Zhishu thought that no matter what the purpose of Ye Shengsheng was, since she gave birth to a child of the Ye family, the child must return to the Ye family to recognize her ancestors.
As long as she is in City A, I don't believe she can't be found.
"Mom, regardless of whether grandpa accepts her or not, my Ye Che's wife can only be her."
Ye Che's eyes were always staring at the mother and daughter in the direction of the restaurant, never leaving.
The eyes are full of tenderness.
Ye Shengsheng in the restaurant unconsciously glanced towards the balcony.
Seeing that man making a phone call behind her back, she sneered inwardly. She didn't care to hear it from her.
After picking up some vegetables and putting them in his daughter's bowl, Ye Shengsheng signaled to her:
"Lianlian, hurry up and eat. Mom will take you to take a bath after you eat."
"OK."
The little guy was chewing on the ribs while looking at his daddy in the direction of the balcony.
Then he looked at Mommy and said:
"Mommy, can you please stop playing with other uncles in the future?"
Ye Shengsheng frowned, "What? Which uncle did I play with?"
"It's Uncle Gong. Dad said he doesn't like to see Mommy playing with other uncles, otherwise he will be jealous."
In fact, little Lianlian doesn’t even know what jealousy is.
I just saw it often on short videos, so I said it casually.
Ye Shengsheng looked towards the balcony again and fell silent.
Would that man still be jealous?
He forgot the time when he was entangled with others.
What's more, who is she with now and what does it have to do with him? They are neither a couple nor a couple.
Does he care?
Ignoring the man, Ye Shengsheng took her daughter to take a bath after finishing her meal.
Ye Che came over after making the call and saw the mother and daughter going to the bathroom. He was so lonely that he had to eat alone.
After eating and cleaning up the kitchen, he came to the bathroom door and shouted:
"Can I help you with anything?"
Ye Shengsheng replied coldly:
"How can you help me give Lianlian a bath?"
"All right."
Ye Che had no choice but to turn around and go back to the living room to sit.
After a while, the door opened and Murong Nan walked in carrying several large bags of ingredients.
Ye Che turned to look at him, "Is it too late to come here to cook now?"
"Have you eaten?"
Murong Nan carried the ingredients to the kitchen.
"I don't care what time it is now. I won't wait for you to eat."
Ye Che felt that Murong Nan would no longer be used to cook in the future. After all, he wanted to occupy the kitchen and learn to cook.
With Murong Nan around and nothing to do with him, he felt that his existence was meaningless.
In order for that woman to forgive him, he had to pay a little more.
Murong Nan put the ingredients in the refrigerator, washed some fruits, brought them over and placed them in front of Ye Che.
He sat down next to Ye Che and asked:
"Where are Shengsheng and Lianlian? Are they out or in the room?"
"I'm giving my precious girl a bath."
Ye Che picked up the cherries and ate them without any courtesy.
Murong Nan glanced at the direction of the room, thought about it and asked:
"Do you know Tang Yining?"
Hearing this, Ye Che looked at the man beside him and frowned suspiciously.
"What did you ask her to do?"
"So you not only know her, but you're also very familiar with her?"
Ye Che did not deny it, "We grew up together, do you think we are familiar with each other?"
"That's right. Do you think she loves her ex-husband?"
Ye Che, "..."
Looking at Murong Nan with interest, he was thinking that this person might not be interested in Tang Yining.
Thinking that Gu Qingli has never let go of their mother and son, if Murong Nan is really interested in Tang Yining, wouldn't the brothers be in danger?
So this is a brother, a brother-in-law, who does he have to help?
Looking at Murong Nan, Ye Che asked him:
"Why are you asking this? Are you familiar with Tang Yining?"
"That's okay, I just want to understand the relationship between her and her ex-husband."
"Two people have children. If a woman doesn't love a man, do you think she will give birth to a child for him?"
Ye Che feels that he is an outsider and cannot help blindly.
He should take care of himself first.
After all, you can't protect yourself.
"That's not possible."
Murong Nan looked unconcerned. Thinking that his sister didn't want to see him yet, he quickly stood up and said:
"Take good care of Lianlian and my sister. I'm going back to the house."
Ye Che shouted at his back, "If you have nothing to do tomorrow, teach me how to cook some dishes."
The dishes Murong Nan cooked before were really delicious.
Thinking about having real teachers, why is he still studying online?
Murong Nan glanced back at Ye Che, then left with a smile without saying a word.
…
This evening.
The three of them still sleep in the same bed.
There was no other way, so Xiao Lianlian asked Daddy and Mommy to sleep with her.
If you don't accompany her, she will make trouble.
Ye Shengsheng and Ye Che had no choice but to rely on her.
Maybe it was because the woman didn't push him away from his approach last night, but tonight Ye Che was a little pushy.
He raised his hand across his daughter and put his arms around Ye Shengsheng's waist.
However, Ye Shengsheng held his hand and glared at him coldly, as if to warn him to calm down.
Ye Che immediately retracted his hand, raised his eyebrows and blew a kiss to her with a gentle voice:
"Good night, baby."
A big baby and a small baby, both of them are Ye Che's darlings.
Ye Shengsheng rolled his eyes and turned his back to him.
Ye Che didn't care at all, he kissed his daughter's forehead and protected her to sleep.
The next day.
Ye Shengsheng went out early to go to a hot pot restaurant.
As soon as I came out of the community palace, I was waiting at the door.
He opened the car door for her in a gentlemanly manner and said, "Good morning."
"morning."
When Ye Shengsheng got into the car, he said a little embarrassedly:
"Gong Yu, you really don't have to come pick me up every day. I'll buy a car by myself after these two days. You should go and do your own business."
"I have nothing to do. Just ask me to be your driver and bodyguard."
"Don't you work?"
Following her every day makes her really embarrassed.
"I don't have a job. My current job is to take care of Sheng Sheng."
Gong Yu glanced at the little woman in the co-pilot, even though it was clear that she had been trying to avoid him.
But he just didn't give up.
Why should she give up? Even if Ye Che stalks and beats her, she will become soft-hearted.
He didn't believe that if he stayed around, she wouldn't be able to rely on her over time.
Ye Shengsheng had no choice but to remain silent.
After arriving at the hot pot restaurant, she began to count the various ingredients delivered by the supplier early in the morning.
Every ingredient must be the freshest and of the best quality.
Gong Yu happily followed her around and helped her keep accounts.
After the busy work at noon, there were fewer customers in the store, so Ye Shengsheng stayed with Gong Yu in the store to taste her hot pot in person.
When the two of them were eating in the hall, a woman in rich clothes walked in not far away.
The waiter hurriedly came forward to say hello, "Hello madam, who are you?"
Qiu Zhishu glanced at the scale of the entire hot pot restaurant, which was quite spacious.
She was carrying her bag and looked elegant.
"I don't want to eat, so I'll find your boss Ye Shengsheng."
When the waiter heard this, he pointed to the boss who was dining not far away and said:
"Oh, our boss is over there. Do you have anything to do with her?"
Qiu Zhishu looked in the direction of the waiter's finger.
Seeing that it was Ye Shengsheng, she strode towards her.
Ye Shengsheng likes spicy food, so today's hot pot base is very spicy.
Just when she was particularly addicted to eating, a person suddenly stood next to her.
Her face turned red from the heat, and when she raised her head to meet Qiu Zhishu's gaze, she was very surprised.
Qiu Zhishu glanced at Gong Yu and then at Ye Shengsheng.
"How come you two are together?"
Ye Shengsheng quickly took out a tissue and wiped his lips, then stood up and nodded politely, "Hello, aunt."
"Ha~"
Qiu Zhishu snorted and sat down where Ye Shengsheng stepped aside. She looked at her coldly and asked again:
"When did you come back?"
"Two months ago."
Since the other party was an elder and had been very kind to her before, now Ye Shengsheng showed great respect for her.
She must also be respected, after all, she is the grandmother of her child.
"You opened this store when you came back?"
Qiu Zhishu looked at Ye Shengsheng in front of him, he had become more mature after not seeing him for four years.
She doesn't look like an underage girl like before.
"Well, the store just opened two days ago."
Ye Shengsheng told the truth.
"Are you asking for money from Archer?"
Thinking that this woman had caused her son to almost lose his life, Qiu Zhishu's attitude towards her now was very unfriendly.
Ye Shengsheng lowered his head and said nothing.
The money does belong to the Ye family.
It was the 100 million given to her by her grandfather. She kept it in the name of Sister Ning, and now she took it out to open this store.
But if the other party wants to go back, she can still afford it.
After all, her assets in country E were unsealed by the Murong family, and she can withdraw them at any time.
"Ye Shengsheng, for the sake of you giving birth to a daughter for our Ye family, I won't argue so much with you.
But I came today to do a few things."
Qiu Zhishu looked at Gong Yu who was sitting across from him and said, "Please leave first and I'll talk to her."
Gong Yu didn't say anything. He stood up and glanced at Ye Shengsheng, then wisely avoided it.
After Gong Yu left, Qiu Zhishu motioned to Ye Shengsheng again, "Sit down and I'll talk to you slowly."
"Um."
Ye Shengsheng sat down opposite him obediently.
Qiu Zhishu looked at her and said:
"Since you didn't abort our Ye family's child and still gave birth to it, you should let the child return to the Ye family to recognize his ancestors.
When you left, my son suffered a lot and almost died in the hospital for two years.
This matter made his grandfather very angry, and his grandfather meant that you two are not allowed to be together anymore."
After taking a sip of tea, Qiu Zhishu continued:
"Or you can make a price, and we will give you some compensation. I will take the child away, and you can take the money and stay away from my son."
Ye Shengsheng said, "..."
Raising her head to meet Qiu Zhishu's gaze, she really didn't expect that her aunt would appear to snatch the child from her.
Doesn't she know what a child means to a mother?
Holding back the emotions in his heart, Ye Sheng said:
"Auntie, the child belongs to me and Ye Che. It's up to Ye Che to talk to me about who belongs to it.
In addition, I have no intention of getting together with Ye Che again. You can call him back and tell him not to appear in front of me.
But no one can take my daughter away from me."
She didn't understand why these elders always liked to get involved in their children's affairs.
Murong and his wife are like this, and so is Auntie.
Do they really like to snatch children from her?
"Ye Shengsheng, I'm here to inform you, not to discuss with you."
Seeing that the girl didn't let go, Qiu Zhishu was a little angry.
The old face with delicate make-up fell down and he scolded in a cold voice:
"You don't want your child to go back to Ye's house, so why are you taking her back to City A? Why not just disappear forever.
When you come back, you want to torture my son again."
Ye Shengsheng lost his good temper and retorted:
“Why can’t I come back because City A is so big?
Ye Che is an adult in his thirties. He can't control himself and always comes to me. What can I do?
Rather than saying that I was torturing him, it would be better to say that he was also torturing me.
Anyway, I won’t leave, and I won’t give Lian Lian to you either.”
She admitted that it was Ye Che who she took the initiative to find.
But she had no choice but to do it.
If her aunt really wanted to force her, she would keep her distance from Ye Che later.
As for my daughter, it shouldn't be a big problem just to make her sad for a few days.
"Is this the way you talk to me?"
Qiu Zhishu stood up suddenly and shouted:
"Ye Shengsheng, let me tell you, I have sent someone to pick up the child, and the child must return to Ye's house.
As for you, I have 100 million here, take the money and leave my son.
Otherwise, I will definitely make it impossible for you to survive in City A."
