Chapter 190: Chapter 124-125: Parents’ Dilemma / Uncle’s Visit
"Dou Dou... Song Qiu’er..." After hanging up the phone, a certain Ye excitedly hugged a certain Dou and a certain Qiu and gave them a good scratch, their soft downy feathers turning into a messy nest in no time.
She was truly so happy, having finally opened up to Dad, and from now on, there would be no need to hide and sneak around.
Dad agreed to hand over the evidence to Jiang Zheng and Ye Xuan for processing, but part of the evidence was provided by Song Fangzheng, so Dad needed to discuss it with him first before handing it over to Ye Xuan.
Song Fangzheng’s old comrade-in-arms came to visit, so Dad could only postpone talking to him until tomorrow, but Luo Ye was confident that Song Fangzheng would be very satisfied with this solution, so she wasn’t worried about the outcome at all!
The reason she called Ye Xuan just now was to report the details to him. Ye Xuan entrusted her with this matter, naturally for good reasons. She would have to come clean sooner or later, so it’s better to tell her parents early rather than letting them find out after everything is solved and then feeling hurt—that their daughter trusts outsiders but not her own family.
"Dou Dou, you’re the hero this time, unlike Little Songqiu who only knows how to eat and act spoiled. Humph, Song Qiu is a little naughty one..." The one who had her feathers ruffled by someone, a certain Ye, was muttering away while helping to comb them. The praised Dou Dou was proudly puffing up her little chest, looking unspeakably smug.
The little thing really made a contribution. When Luo Ye went to Liu Zhengxing’s old house to gather evidence, it all depended on the little thing standing guard. A risky incident also occurred during that time: while Luo Ye was busy tinkering, Liu Song, for some reason, went to the old house.
Luckily, Dou Dou quickly flew in to notify her, and then she hid in a safe spot that she had already scouted out.
After Liu Song entered the room, he didn’t notice anything amiss, yet she obtained an unexpected piece of evidence. At that moment, a certain Ye thought to herself that Heaven was really helping her take down the Lius!
She could only handle the visit to the old house by herself; neither Ye Xuan nor the two people he had arranged could be brought in to help. How could she explain how she found this place? And how could she be sure that the evidence was inside?
So, it was better to explain after she got ahold of the evidence. Mixed with the evidence provided by Qian Mei, how could she say that it was all not in her hands?
Ah, finding excuses to cover things up all day is really exhausting. After the matter is settled, she can stand in the sunlight and proceed with integrity!
Oh right, Grandpa! Luo Ye suddenly remembered that the old man said he was going back to rest, but he must be worried about this matter in his heart. She hurriedly put down Dou Dou, patted the whining Song Qiu’er that wanted a hug, "No more whining now, let brother hold you to sleep, be good."
Dou Dou obediently lay down next to Song Qiu, and with a flap of the wings and a stretch of the legs, the previously whining Little Songqiu obediently closed his eyes. This action had become a habit; when Dou Dou did this, it meant that both were ready to sleep.
The obedient little appearances of Dou Dou and Song Qiu’er would soften anyone’s heart. Luo Ye gently stroked the two of them and went to Grandpa’s room. As expected, Grandpa was sitting on the bed with reading glasses on, holding a book and spacing out, clearly lost in thought.
"Grandpa, I knew you wouldn’t be asleep." Luo Ye sat down at the head of Grandpa’s bed, took the book from his hands, removed his reading glasses, and started kneading his shoulders.
"Have you finished talking with your dad?" Grandpa Luo tenderly pulled down his granddaughter’s small hands, "Grandpa isn’t tired, no need to massage."
"I don’t believe you’re not tired, how long have you been in that position? The muscles on your back are all stiff, definitely due to lactic acid buildup. I’ll give you a good massage so you’ll feel comfortable when you get up tomorrow morning." Luo Ye said and kicked off her slippers to kneel behind Grandpa.
"You..." The old man shook his head helplessly, his face nonetheless adorned with a contented and happy smile.
...
The next morning, Luo Zhenggang went early to find Song Fangzheng, and as Luo Ye expected, Song Fangzheng had no objections to the plan, which meant that by noon, Ye Xuan had all the evidence in hand.
What was left to do was to wait. Such things couldn’t be resolved in a day or two. Having done what she had to, Luo Ye then devoted all her attention to her studies and work.
In the few months since Luo Ye took over Wenxin Garden, it had fully gotten on track with quickly improving performance. Department heads each had their own responsibilities, and Luo Ye no longer needed to worry about trivial matters.
Checking the reports once a week and giving each department some reasonable advice, but not interfering in their work, linking rewards to performance, thus the department managers were even more committed to working hard.
The collaboration with Luo Shui had been sealed with an agreement. Luo Ye invested 5 million along with technology shares, accounting for 65% of the total shares. Luo Shui invested 2 million in addition to technology and management, making up for 35%. Luo Ye was truly surprised by Luo Shui’s 2 million; the kid didn’t take a penny from his parents, it was all saved up from years of starting businesses while studying. Considering his personality, Luo Ye felt it was nothing short of a miracle.
