Chapter 1506: Chapter 882
"Do you still remember who Zan Weiwei is, Luoluo?"
"Of course, she’s the daughter of the former director of Yuanzhou Mine. You wouldn’t want to tell me that Liu Shanshan knows her, would you?" Luo Ye’s eyebrow slightly furrowed, "Male Emperor, just tell me the truth directly, don’t play tricks."
Wu Zetian smiled with satisfaction, "Luoluo, I thought you wouldn’t be in a hurry, haha..."
Luo Ye stared at him, "Hurry up!"
"That’s right, Liu Shanshan not only knows Zan Weiwei, but they are also good friends. After Zan Weiwei’s father was imprisoned, the Zan Family had no place to stand locally.
So recently, Zan Weiwei’s mother, Li Ailing, brought her son to Sha City to seek refuge with Zan Weiwei. The higher-ups suspect Li Ailing’s identity is not that simple, so they’re thinking of sending someone to get close to her and understand more.
Just then, Liu Shanshan appeared around me, and she frequently visits the Zan Family, so I could only be tasked to interact with her to investigate whether Li Ailing is a fish that escaped the net."
"The higher-ups suspect Li Ailing is involved with the Mirror Organization?" Reflecting on Li Ailing’s soft and weak appearance, Luo Ye shook his head, "At that time, Zhao Qianqian and I really didn’t think much of her."
"After Doctor Daoter died, Li Ailing tried everything to get close to Daoter’s body." Wu Zetian thought for a moment and added, "She might have come to Sha City because of the injection incident."
"Alright, I forgive you. Now, what I want to ask is, do you have any feelings for my sister? Male Emperor, I don’t want my sister to get deeper and eventually end up heartbroken.
At the same time, I don’t want you to force yourself to do something you don’t like because of other reasons. I’m your friend, and I hope you can be happy and joyful, do you understand what I mean?"
"Don’t worry, I won’t force myself to be with Wen Ke just because she’s your sister. Her kindness and straightforwardness are what I like.
But honestly, falling in love with her might still take time. If... if she doesn’t have the patience to wait, I’m willing to let go."
"You really know how to turn things around!" Luo Ye glared at him, "She’s worried you don’t like her at all. If you tell her this, she’d be too happy to wait, not impatient."
"Luoluo..." Wu Zetian fixedly stared at Luo Ye for a while, "I... I want to hug you just this once, and then let go completely, is that okay?"
As he finished speaking, Luo Ye stepped forward, hugged him, and patted him, "Male Emperor, let me say it again, never force yourself."
"Thank you..." Wu Zetian choked up, resting his chin on Luo Ye’s shoulder, "Ye’er, let me call you that once, in this life you must be happy."
Luo Ye helplessly shook his head, "Male Emperor, when did you become so sentimental?"
"My mom... my mom was recently diagnosed with a severe late-stage illness, I’m not in a good mood, sigh..." With a heavy sigh, Wu Zetian let go of Luo Ye and stood tall again, returning to his sunny self, "Luoluo, don’t worry, I won’t fall down. I’m going to M Country to be with my mom in a few days, Director Lei has already approved it, and they’re helping me with the visa application."
With the Wu Family’s background in place, Luo Ye didn’t waste words, "If there’s anything you need, call me timely."
"I will." Wu Zetian smiled and patted her head, "Luoluo, knowing you is my blessing. If it weren’t for you, I might have left military school long ago.
Without these years of experience, encountering such things suddenly, I might really be unable to bear them. Mom has been the one who loved me the most since childhood.
As it stands now, Luoluo’s place in my heart isn’t as important as my mom’s." He blinked, "Luoluo won’t be mad if I say it like that, right?"
Luo Ye’s lips curled into dimples, "Of course not, come on, I guess dinner’s almost ready."
Wu Zetian nodded with a smile, "Okay, I’ll stay here tonight, and help tomorrow morning, to absorb some happy vibes."
After dinner, Luo Ye and the others accompanied Yue Qin back to the room to rest. As they entered and closed the door, Yue Qin collapsed onto the sofa, looking weakly at Luo Ye, "Luoluo, your... your uncle is actually the Secretary of the Municipal Committee. If I had known earlier, I... I..."
Seeing her say "I" for a long time without uttering anything substantial, Xing Nong stepped forward, patting her, "Luoluo’s father is the Governor."
"I... I..."
"Alright, stop ’I’-ing." Luo Ye ushered Xing Nong aside and sat next to Yue Qin, "The one you know is me, whether you come to Grandpa’s house or my house, it’s because of me.
The positions held by my family’s elders won’t affect our interactions, we accept you for who you are. If sister-in-law accepts us too, don’t mind these things."
"We?" Yue Qin’s gaze flitted across everyone’s faces, growing perturbed inside. Are all these people children of high officials?
Xing Nong stepped forward and looked directly at Yue Qin, "Sister-in-law, are you happy with us?"
"Of course, I am."
"Then that’s settled, why bother with anything else?"
Ying Nuo quickly chimed in, "Exactly, interactions between people are all about the person. As long as sister-in-law feels comfortable and happy with us, ignore the rest."
Yue Qin almost wanted to cry. Telling her not to mind the rest, is that possible? As an ordinary person, how can she stay calm seeing high officials often appearing on TV?
Knowing it was hard to ease her mind over this matter for the time being, Luo Ye didn’t dwell on it further, "Sister-in-law, I’ll give you a sleep aid injection, so after resting well, you’ll be a beautiful bride tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Mentioning the wedding, Yue Qin’s eyes and brows filled with joy. Tomorrow, she’d truly become his bride, showing him her best side is essential.
Once Yue Qin fell asleep, Yaoguang couldn’t help but say, "Luoluo, letting her marry from the Wen Family is really a bit difficult for her."
"Indeed." Ying Nuo nodded, "A girl living in a small village suddenly comes to a big city, hasn’t even adapted yet, and then sees such a big family. How can she adapt so calmly?"
Luo Ye raised her eyes and shrugged to the group: "I anticipated all this long ago, but I still arranged it this way. Can you guess why I did it?"
"Can’t guess. Would you say you did it to make things difficult for her, to test her?" Xing Nong quirked her mouth, "I can’t think of any reason you’d do this."
Yaoguang chimed in, "I feel the same way."
"Considering her personality, she’s someone who gets things done, but I don’t have time to get to know her well enough, so this is the best touchstone.
As long as she’s trustworthy and useful, she can help me and also Brother Qi. It’s a two-birds-with-one-stone situation, so why not?"
"So that’s it!" Xing Nong thought a bit more and asked, "So, are you thinking of sending her to the retirement home or Wenxin Garden?"
"Is there even a question?" Luo Ye rolled her eyes at her.
Yaoguang slapped her thigh, "I know! Even as an outsider, after staying at Wenxin Garden for a few days, I feel the management is a bit lax, right?"
"That’s right, Wenxin Garden needs a capable and loyal leader, and during these days Yue Qin has stayed there, everyone has seen how much I value her.
So, after she takes over, even if someone isn’t convinced, they won’t go too far, and after that, when her abilities are displayed, the Sha City branch will step up a level." Luo Ye said, looking at Ying Nuo, "Sister-in-law, she’ll be your good general in the future."
"What does it have to do with me?" Ying Nuo looked utterly confused.
Xing Nong gave her a sideways glance, "Tsk, why don’t you give me the shares of Wenxin Garden in your hand?"
"Knock knock..."
"Come in!"
The door was pushed open, and Nanny Lu poked her head in with a smile, "Miss Ye’er, Young Master Xuan has arrived, he’s with Grandpa."
Luo Ye stood up, patted Xing Nong, Ying Nuo, and Yaoguang on the shoulder, "If you’re sleepy, go ahead and rest, I’ll go over and have a look."
Xing Nong teased with a smile, "Will you come back to sleep tonight?"
"Why? Do you want me to bring Lu Lu over?"
Xing Nong quickly waved her hands, laughing obsequiously, "No need, no need, Luoluo, I’ll try to stay awake until you come back."
Luo Ye stopped in her tracks with confusion, "Huh, I don’t understand, haven’t you sung ’The Overturned Serf Sings’? But the way it looks, it seems like you’ve been overturned back, right?"
"Too smart!" Yaoguang gave a thumbs up, "Qiu’er... um..."
Xing Nong covered Yaoguang’s mouth, nodded towards Luo Ye, "Luoluo, go quickly, Grandpa is so old, don’t keep him waiting too long."
"Alright, even if you don’t let Yao Yao speak, I can guess, it’s definitely the old problem acting up, caught red-handed by Lu Lu, hehe..."
As the footsteps faded away, Xing Nong angrily pushed Yaoguang aside, "Annoying, anyone who mentions that again, I’ll fall out with them."
"Then just fall out with Luoluo." Yaoguang laughed as she fell onto the sofa, crawling forward and tugging on Ying Nuo’s sleeve, "Even if I don’t detail it, you can guess right? Our classmate Qiu’er was having a feel of a handsome freshman’s cheek, and got caught red-handed by Young Master Lu, ha ha ha..."
"Dead Yao Yao!"
"Keep it down!" Ying Nuo scolded them with displeasure, "Even if Luoluo’s needles are in, sister-in-law is sleeping, not unconscious."
The two who had been making a ruckus quickly quieted down, carefully sat back on the sofa, puffing their cheeks at each other in a silent stare...
...
Luo Ye walked into Great Grandpa’s courtyard and found only Ye Xuan sitting alone in the hall, so she asked, confused, "Where’s Great Grandpa?"
"He’s sleeping." Ye Xuan pulled her into his arms, inhaling the scent in her hair, "Ye’er, I really hope to be with you every day."
"Hehe..." Luo Ye gave a dry laugh without saying anything. They hadn’t seen much of each other lately, and she actually felt a bit unfamiliar.
