"You're crazy, you're absolutely crazy!"
Wang Meiling shook her head and sighed.
"Aren't you coming? Mr. Ye said, once this opportunity is gone, it won't come back," Wang Wenwen retorted.
"I..."
Wang Meiling recalled how confident Ye Yun had sounded at the dinner.
She reached up and rubbed her temples, finally nodding.
"I'll also put in five million!"
After discussing, they decided to trust Ye Yun and build a good relationship with him.
Wang Wenwen even called her best friend on the spot, declaring that from now on, Tiancheng Pictures would recognize only Li Mengyao!
...
The next day.
Ye Yun easily found Du Meili's contact information.
In fact, it wasn't difficult at all.
In his previous life, Du Meili had openly argued with Wu Qian on Weibo, and Ye Yun still remembered her Weibo account.
Moreover, Du Meili at this time was different from her later self after the online spat. Her follower count had exploded after the incident.
Now, she was just an ordinary person with few fans.
At most, she had a few perverted fans because she frequently posted photos of her daily life.
She paid some attention to Ye Yun, who had suddenly followed her.
Soon, they arranged to meet at a Starbucks.
It was actually quite normal. With Ye Yun's emotional intelligence and experience, even seducing Du Meili wouldn't be difficult, let alone a simple meeting.
The meeting went very smoothly. Ye Yun made Du Meili laugh heartily with just a few words.
She even recognized Ye Yun as her elder brother.
The rest was simple. Ye Yun tricked Du Meili into checking Wu Qian's phone after he fell asleep, asking if he truly loved her or not...
Then, he very considerately taught Du Meili some techniques for handling men, with the clear intention of increasing the conflict between her and Wu Qian.
By the time Ye Yun finished brainwashing Du Meili and walked out of Starbucks, it was already dark.
Looking at Du Meili leaving with suspicion and a heavy heart, Ye Yun gave a wry smile.
He felt like a big bad wolf deceiving Little Red Riding Hood.
"Perhaps for you, this is also a good thing."
Ye Yun whispered as he watched Du Meili's figure gradually disappear.
Then, Ye Yun also vanished into the bustling street.
...
Returning to his rented room in the urban village.
Ye Yun put Wu Qian and the "Xian Shang Ren Jian" matter behind him.
If nothing unexpected happened.
Within a week at most, Wu Qian would be apprehended by the police and imprisoned. To seek a lighter sentence, Wu Qian would expose "Xian Shang Ren Jian" as well.
And the police would quickly eradicate this tumor from the Jinling district.
This was Ye Yun.
In his previous life, he had been ruined, his family scattered and his life destroyed, all stemming from gambling.
He naturally harbored hatred for gambling!
No matter what, he would eliminate the hidden tumor beneath the dark night of Jinling!
As for the young girl Du Meili, who was deceived by Wu Qian, she would no longer have any connection with him.
But Ye Yun would never have imagined.
That it was precisely because of this butterfly's gentle flap of its wings.
That Du Meili's life trajectory would change.
Nor would he have imagined that Du Meili would, one day in the future, save the lives of his entire family!!
Good deeds are rewarded; perhaps heaven truly watches over all.
For two consecutive days, Ye Yun did not go out.
When he was hungry, he cooked a bowl of noodles; when he was sleepy, he lay down for a while.
During these two days, he stayed at home planning his financial strategies.
The income from the pedestrian street in Xiong'an County was not enough for him to buy a villa in Jinling.
One morning.
Ring ring ring.
Ye Yun picked up his phone; it was an unfamiliar number.
"May I speak with Mr. Ye Yun?" a strange middle-aged female voice asked after he answered.
"Yes, I am Ye Yun. Who is this?" Ye Yun asked curiously.
Having been reborn, he had clear memories of the next forty years from his current timeline.
But the past was still somewhat hazy.
However, Ye Yun also remembered that at this point in time, his impoverished self should have no friends. So, who was calling him?
Upon hearing Ye Yun confirm his identity, the other party's voice immediately changed.
"Then it's correct. Mr. Ye, I am Teacher Fang from Ruitai Kindergarten. We met last year," the person said.
Teacher Fang?
Ruitai Kindergarten?
Ye Yun was stunned and then remembered.
Last year, Ke Ke had just started the lower grades. According to the rules, parents needed to go together to complete the child's enrollment procedures.
Otherwise, Li Mengyao would absolutely not have let Ye Yun go.
As it turned out, Li Mengyao's decision was correct.
The Ye Yun of that day was unkempt, having gambled all night and lost a lot.
With that resentment, he had a conflict with other parents on the spot, almost involving the police station.
If Li Mengyao hadn't pleaded and apologized profusely, with an extremely humble attitude, the situation wouldn't have been resolved without police intervention.
Afterward, Li Mengyao had a huge argument with Ye Yun when they returned home.
Because of this, Ye Yun, in his drunken state, even hit Li Mengyao.
It was precisely this incident that made Li Mengyao completely lose hope in Ye Yun.
"Teacher Fang?" Ye Yun said instinctively.
"Yes, we met when school started last year."
Mentioning the start of school, Fang Lan's voice sounded somewhat peculiar.
After all, last year's incident was still vivid in her memory.
On the first day of school, she had almost gotten the police involved. In her decades of teaching career, it was truly the first time.
Incidentally, she also had a strong memory of Ye Yun, such a troublesome parent.
"Hello, Teacher Fang, may I ask what this is about?" Ye Yun asked politely.
"Mr. Ye, please allow me to say something unpleasant. Do you call yourself a parent? It's been half a month, and Ye Ke Ke hasn't come to school!" Fang Lan complained.
"What!!" Ye Yun was greatly shocked, "You're saying Ke Ke hasn't been to school for half a month?"
"You don't know?" Fang Lan asked.
"I truly don't. Her mother manages her schooling," Ye Yun's expression turned completely grim.
There was nothing in the world more important to him than Ye Ke Ke and Li Mengyao.
Now, Ke Ke hadn't been to school for half a month, was this a joke?
"It's like this, our kindergarten collects fees per semester. The second semester of the middle class started half a month ago, but Ke Ke has not been attending classes. We called her mother, and she said she was short on funds and asked Ke Ke to stay home for a couple of days."
"But it's turned into half a month! We decided in a meeting that although you might... be busy usually, as a father, you should have the right to know about this."
"Mr. Ye, to be frank, parental disputes should not affect the child. Ke Ke is a very intelligent child, and it would be a great pity if her education is neglected so easily," Fang Lan said slowly.
To be honest, if it hadn't been decided by the kindergarten leadership in a meeting, she wouldn't have dared to call Ye Yun.
As a kindergarten teacher for decades.
She detested irresponsible parents the most.
And Ye Yun was undoubtedly the worst parent she had ever seen in her teaching career, without exception!
In fact, the entire kindergarten staff was reluctant to call Ye Yun.
In the end, they had to draw straws to decide.
Fang Lan was the unlucky one!
