Chapter 564 Ye Shenggge Comes to Visit in Person
Ye Mu'en sat at the corner of the table with a playful grin and leaned his face towards his sister. Ye Shenggge, however, frowned. Didn't he care about the wound on his back? Bending over would only aggravate it.
Ye Shenggge suddenly stood up, meeting her elder brother eye to eye. She stared at him intently without uttering a word, making him incredibly uneasy.
"Stop, I was wrong, alright?"
Ye Mu'en couldn't stand the scrutiny for more than a few minutes, her eyes full of accusation.
"You're not wrong. Heroes who shed blood for their country deserve everyone's respect. I only have admiration and gratitude for you."
Ye Mu'en waved the other two onlookers away. Didn't she want to start?
Ah Sen quickly turned and opened the door. Zi Shao never liked anyone around when he was being scolded.
Tang Zhao stood like a sentry on either side of Ah Sen, but then he realized he wasn't guarding the door.
"Uh, do you think Madam will bring up my niece's matter just now?"
"Yes, and she'll discuss it too."
Ah Sen replied expressionlessly. His Madam was actually quite gossipy, just not obviously so.
"Then I'm doomed."
"Shouldn't you be more concerned about your niece's situation?"
"Her parents will handle her. I can only bear the consequences myself. What a disaster."
"What if your niece marries Young Master Ye? Wouldn't you soar?"
Ah Sen was rarely gossipy, and knowing some insider information could make Madam happy.
"Soar? I'd rather rely on myself. She has no chance. Young Master Ye has rejected her more than once, and my niece isn't good enough to change Young Master Ye's mind."
"Are there many who like Young Master Ye here?"
Tang Zhao pouted, his face filled with masculine jealousy.
"Let me put it this way: in the entire unit, there are less than thirty women, and at least half of them have confessed directly. A few more have feelings but dare not, and the rest are already taken."
"No way, it sounds like there are no other men in your unit."
"Heh, there are plenty of men, but the girls just have poor taste. Who can blame them when Young Master Ye is the highest-ranking, best-looking, and has the perfect physique at his age? He's really not considering the plight of us guys who can't find wives."
Ah Sen suppressed a laugh. A resentful man.
"Hasn't Young Master Ye taken a liking to anyone?"
"Alas, do you know what we say privately? Every day, we pray that Young Master Ye gets married soon so that there might be some hope for us."
"She's too picky, but it's understandable. Young Master Ye's mother and the Bai family men are all exceptionally solitary and refuse to marry."
Tang Zhao shook his head helplessly. He was also destined for a late marriage.
Outside, they were gossiping and complaining, while inside, it was a one-sided scolding with no ability to resist.
Ye Mu'en felt for the first time that his sister was so nagging, completely unlike the perfect being in his mind.
"I've already contacted Grandma. This weekend, you'll start going on blind dates. If you don't take care of your health like this, it's because you have no one to care about you or keep an eye on you. So, you can't refuse or run away."
Ye Mu'en was already rubbing his head. Was this a punishment through blind dates? The thought of sitting and chatting with countless strangers made him want to go out and fight.
"Actually, I already have someone I like."
Ye Shenggge raised an eyebrow, looking as if she was waiting for him to lie.
Ye Mu'en gritted his teeth and decided to commit to it for peace.
"Really, I like Liu Shu from our unit, Tang Zhao's niece. Someone familiar, so we know each other well."
Ye Shenggge sneered inwardly. If she hadn't just met Liu Shu, she would have been happy.
"Oh, I see. I happened to meet her earlier and had a chat."
Ye Mu'en stubbornly insisted and asked cheekily,
"How did she look? Pretty, right?"
"Yes, very nice. She also said she likes you very much."
Ye Mu'en breathed a sigh of relief. He'd have Tang Zhao tell Liu Shu later.
"Since you two are in love, I won't bother Grandma anymore."
"Yes, Grandma is already old. She's busy enough with the Bai family boys."
"Let's make this weekend happy for the whole family with such good news. Bring her home, and I'll host a banquet to formally meet her."
"Uh, do we need to be this fast? It might add burden to the young lady."
Ye Shenggge picked up her bag and stood up, patting her elder brother's shoulder heavily and lecturing him earnestly.
"Brother, this isn't the past anymore. Girls are very independent and value themselves. The greatest respect for girls in this era is to bring them home. Alright, see you on Saturday. I'll make sure Dad doesn't schedule any overtime for you."
Her words blocked all his escape routes, and she left quite潇洒ly.
"Shenggge, don't go."
Ah Sen, seeing Madam come out, naturally led her to the next office. Tang Zhao, still at the doorway, was stared down by Ye Mu'en.
"Deputy Tang, come in, let's talk."
Could he refuse?
Ye Shenggge stood at her father's office door and changed her demeanor. She gently knocked.
"Enter."
The door opened, but there was no movement. Ye Dad, who was reading documents, looked up in confusion. When he saw his expressionless daughter standing at the door staring at him, he almost slid off his chair.
"Daughter, this was all your brother's idea."
He immediately threw his son under the bus to protect himself.
Ah Sen moved to the side of the door. Ye Dad wasn't someone who enjoyed seeing him being mocked. He held grudges!
"Daughter, don't, don't be like this. It's my fault. No, it's all your brother's fault."
Ye Dad quickly pulled his daughter onto his special chair. How could he let his daughter suffer or be sad?
"Dad, it's all my fault these past few days. When you were away, I reflected on myself. It's my fault. I shouldn't have made you go see your wounds at the most crucial moment, nor should I have been angry in my heart when you snuck away. I shouldn't have forced you to the point where you were afraid to come home even when you had one. All of this is my fault. This is my self-criticism letter. Every word reflects my true feelings and self-reflection."
Saying this, Ye Shenggge really took out two pages full of writing from her bag. Ye Dad didn't dare to accept it. If he accepted it, it would mean admitting his daughter's apology. He quickly pushed the paper back, it was too hot to handle.
"Daughter, it's my fault. I was disobedient, I let my daughter down with my concern, I was too willful, and I will absolutely never do it again. I promise."
"No, it's my fault. From now on, I will definitely seek your opinions before doing anything. I will try not to disturb you when you are busy. I'll be happy if you want to come home, and I'll wait patiently if you don't. I was too willful."
Ye Dad was so anxious he scratched his head. He couldn't handle his daughter's sudden tactic. Someone give him advice. Suddenly, an idea flashed, and he pulled his daughter outside.
"Let's go, Dad will take you to the main culprit. He was the one who instigated me."
