What was her fault?
Hearing Wu Xinlan's words, as if she were possessed, Ye Ming was stunned.
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing Ye Ming's appearance, Wu Xinlan gradually restrained her crazed laughter, poked her finger at his chest, and mocked, "We're the same kind of people, aren't we?"
After speaking, without waiting for Ye Ming's reply, Wu Xinlan turned and left.
However, the moment she turned, two lines of tears silently flowed from her eyes.
Perhaps at some point, she too longed for salvation!
Watching Wu Xinlan's retreating back, Ye Ming's mind still echoed her parting words.
"We are the same kind!"
Was this statement purely mockery, or did it carry a deeper meaning?
"That's right! We are the same kind!"
Ye Ming slowly closed his eyes, gave a self-deprecating smile, and said, "What right do I have to judge you?"
Undeniably, Wu Xinlan's last sentence made Ye Ming truly recognize himself.
In terms of romantic relationships, he and Wu Xinlan were not much different.
Just the women around him numbered no less than ten.
Nangong Qianyu, Fang Junxue, Ji Hongying, Doris, Du Yuemian, Bai Qiushui, Mo Zhaoge, Yan Yinluo, Loriya, Naini'er, Ain (original appearance).
Although Ye Ming had only been intimate with a few of them so far, would things remain pure in the end?
He himself likely knew the answer.
Therefore, what right did he have to judge Wu Xinlan?
"I'm such a scoundrel!"
...
At five in the afternoon, it was time for little Ain to finish school.
Outside the school gate, Ye Ming had already requested from Fang Junxue that he would pick up little Ain today.
That's right!
It was indeed a request!
This showed how low his status was in their large family!
Through the incident with Wu Xinlan, Ye Ming, after a day of quiet reflection, had finally drawn a line for himself.
From now on, he would stick to his duty and never again sow his wild oats.
Yes!
The great scoundrel Ye was going to turn over a new leaf.
Ring ring!
As soon as the school bell rang, in a moment, a group of lively and lovely little sprites rushed out of the school. In them, one could always feel a vitality, beautiful and pure.
At this time, many parents came to pick up these children.
Among those parents, Ye Ming found a familiar face.
And that person was surrounded by many parents, greeting him warmly.
"I didn't expect Lord Hua to personally pick up your daughter, what a good father!"
"That's right! Someone like Lord Hua must have many matters to attend to! Yet, he still comes to pick up his child! How loving!"
"It is a great fortune for our Minghai City to have Lord Hua here!"
"Hahaha! This parent is absolutely right!"
"..."
Indeed, the person being supported by everyone was the paramount leader of Minghai City – Hua Tianmin.
After all, a figure like him would attract great attention wherever he appeared in Minghai City.
This was the norm.
But for him personally, wasn't it also a kind of helplessness?
In the end, he could only respond to the other parents.
From afar, Ye Ming, seeing this scene, fell into deep thought.
Hua Tianmin, by his status, was an official of the Huaguo government.
As the head of a city, this position was neither too big nor too small.
Perhaps from him, he could learn some things about the internal affairs of Huaguo.
After a moment of thought, Ye Ming walked towards Hua Tianmin.
Since he had encountered him, even if he didn't get the news he wanted in the end, it wouldn't matter.
Ye Ming was, of course, disguised at this moment. Otherwise, with his fame as "Teacher Ye," he would have been mobbed long ago.
"Lord Hua! Long time no see! Can we chat privately!"
Ye Ming walked up to Hua Tianmin and said with a smile.
"Hmm?"
Hua Tianmin naturally did not recognize Ye Ming in his current appearance and frowned slightly, but he still smiled faintly and said, "Who is this gentleman?"
The reason he frowned was that in his past dealings, many people would pretend to know him to strike up a conversation and get closer.
He naturally disliked such behavior.
But to maintain his public image, he couldn't get angry about it.
Some parents present saw Hua Tianmin frown and understood what was happening.
For them, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity.
"I say, young man! One must be down-to-earth! Don't spend your days thinking about crooked ways and shortcuts!"
"Alas! You're not young anymore! Don't think about unrealistic things!"
"How could someone like Lord Hua know you!"
"Young people nowadays! Always thinking about climbing the ladder and getting rich! Such a mindset is unacceptable!"
"..."
Most parents offered advice, not making Ye Ming too embarrassed.
But some more radical ones, in order to get Hua Tianmin's attention, directly resorted to action.
The most representative was a burly man.
He directly blocked Hua Tianmin's path, glared at Ye Ming with a fierce expression, and sneered, "Kid! You think you're someone to have a private chat with Lord Hua!"
The man took two steps forward, pushed Ye Ming, and said dismissively, "Scram! Your petty schemes can't fool Lord Hua's discerning eyes! If you dare to disturb us again, don't blame me for being rude!"
With that push, Ye Ming staggered back two steps. He hadn't used any strength.
Looking at the arrogant man before him, Ye Ming was not angry. Instead, he found the situation quite interesting.
Of course, he hadn't expected such a minor conflict to arise just to meet Hua Tianmin.
As for why the man in front of him was acting like this, he knew it well.
Wasn't he just trying to flatter Hua Tianmin?
"Fine! I'll let you flatter to your heart's content!"
Ye Ming chuckled wickedly in his heart.
"Not rude! How exactly won't you be rude?"
Ye Ming stepped forward, looking at the man with a somewhat fierce demeanor.
"Oh! You're getting into it now, are you!"
The burly man's heart leaped with joy upon seeing this, and he immediately threatened, "Kid! It seems you're very eager to get close to Lord Hua!" As he spoke, his tone gradually turned cold, "Speak! What is your purpose in deliberately approaching Lord Hua?"
With the burly man's shout, the atmosphere of the scene became somewhat oppressive.
Not only that, but he also regarded Ye Ming as a dangerous element, causing other parents to retreat in fear of being associated with Ye Ming.
"Oh! I get it!"
At this moment, the burly man seemed to have a sudden realization, grinned, as if he had seen through everything.
"Everyone, pay attention, he's here to assassinate Lord Hua!"
