In the classroom, Ye Qingning was absent-minded, thinking about Gu Xing's words. She held a piece of paper in her hand with the address of the prison where her biological father, Gu Shen, was written on it.
"Ningning! Ningning!" Xiaoli called Ye Qingning several times, but the other party didn't respond. Xiaoli frowned and waved his hand in front of her.
"What's wrong, Xiaoli?" Ye Qingning came back to his senses.
"What's wrong with you? You're distracted."
Ye Qingning shook his head, but Xiaoli approached her with a mysterious look on his face.
"I applied to change dormitories with the counselor yesterday. Unexpectedly, the counselor agreed immediately. I started packing my luggage. When I was halfway packing, Yang Lindong came in with a sullen face. Guess what?"
"Huh?" Ye Qingning tilted his ears slightly.
"She came in and threw things around like crazy. I glanced at her and she stared at me fiercely, like a devil crawling out of hell. It was super scary. Fortunately, I applied for a dormitory change, otherwise I would have given her up. My things are more interesting, she looks soft and frail, but she always makes me feel eerie."
"By the way, you didn't come yesterday afternoon. The counselor held a class meeting and removed Yang Lindong from the position of class monitor. He also gave Lan Minhui a penalty for sending false information to slander others. I guess it was It’s your business. You didn’t see that their faces were dark yesterday, but they are relieved!”
Ye Qingning understood. He didn't expect his eldest brother to be so efficient. But I didn't expect that Yang Lindong would also have a hand in the photo.
She sighed. It seemed that she would not be able to participate in any large-scale competitions this year. Maybe it was just a matter of stealing the chicken but losing the rice. It was all in vain.
"Why don't you feel happy at all? Are you uncomfortable?" Xiaoli looked worried.
"No, you might as well move out. Now that you've been punished and dismissed from your post, you're in a hurry. Stay away from her and you'll feel more at ease."
Xiaoli could not agree more.
After class, Ye Qingning returned to the villa. She had just walked in, and Ji Huaiyu had just finished serving the last dish.
"Aning, wash your hands and eat."
Ye Qingning responded, changed his shoes, washed his hands and sat at the dining table.
"Brother Huaiyu, don't you have to go to the company today?"
"Just go there in the afternoon. The company doesn't raise so many people just to be mascots." Ji Huaiyu scooped a bowl of porridge for her.
"How is the school going?"
"Brother acted quickly. The punishment was handed down yesterday. I didn't see them in class in the morning."
"I have transferred them to another class. I can rest assured that there is no contact at all." Ji Huaiyu took a piece of meat and gave it to Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning nodded, as Ji Huaiyu said, it is best not to see him. University is a big word, and each class has a different class time. They are not in the same dormitory or in the same class, so the chance of seeing them is not high. If you can't see it, you won't be able to take action.
"Did something happen? Absent-minded?"
Hearing this, Ye Qingning put down his chopsticks. Ji Huaiyu took a look and put it down.
"Brother Huaiyu, has there been any whereabouts regarding my...father?" Ye Qingning bit his lip and looked at Ji Huaiyu cautiously.
Ji Huaiyu paused for a moment, his expression uncertain. "Why did you mention this suddenly? Did you meet someone today?"
"It's just that I suddenly thought of it and asked." Ye Qingning raised his head with a smile on his lips.
She knew, as Gu Xing said, Ji Huaiyu knew something. She didn't blame Ji Huaiyu for hiding it, but she still wanted the truth about some things.
"Let's eat first." Ji Huaiyu didn't expect that Ye Qingning would suddenly ask about this matter. Neither of them wanted to lie to each other, so they could only choose to change the topic stiffly.
For several days in a row, Ye Qingning was as usual, spending time at three o'clock and one line at home, in the canteen and in the classroom. Out of respect, Ji Huaiyu sent no one to find out what happened to Ye Qingning that day, and the two of them made a tacit agreement not to mention this topic again.
Ye Qingning had no classes on Friday afternoon. She pretended to take a nap, and after Ji Huaiyu went out, she followed him out.
She was holding the piece of paper in her hand, which had some wrinkles because she had taken it out and read it over and over in the past two days. Ye Qingning had actually memorized that address a long time ago, but somehow felt that holding it in his hand would make him feel more at ease.
Along the way, she imagined countless possibilities and had countless questions in her mind that she wanted answers to. But when she reached the destination, she hesitated again.
After thinking again and again, she walked in. While waiting to meet, Ye Qingning dug her fingers into her bag to relieve her inner uneasiness.
But soon, a man who looked a little haggard and thin came out. Ye Qingning looked up at him, and there seemed to be a hint of unknown meaning flashing in the other person's eyes.
After sitting down, the two looked at each other speechlessly. Ye Qingning bit her lip, not knowing what to say.
"Gu Xing told you, right?" Gu Shen spoke first, breaking the silence.
Ye Qingning's hand tightened on the phone, but she still looked at the man and nodded.
"What happened between you and Chen Xi?"
"I thought you were going to ask me about your kidnapping case. It seems Ji Huaiyu and the others didn't tell you?" Gu Shen knocked on the table.
Ye Qingning's pupils shrank, "What... do you mean?"
"Do you know why I'm here?" Gu Shen looked at her through the glass window and leaned forward a little. His cloudy pupils had no light at all, which was scary.
"Why?" Ye Qingning gritted his teeth and calmed down his emotions.
"It's very simple. Your eldest brother and Ji Huaiyu teamed up with my wife to send me in personally."
"What happened to the Ye family, were you the one behind it?"
All the scenes that he originally imagined were overturned. Ye Qingning thought that he might have committed something, and also thought that there might be some misunderstanding, and also thought about what happened between him and her mother, but she did not mention what happened to the Ye family. Everything falls on his head.
"Yes." Gu Shen was the first to admit.
"They have never provoked you, why do you want to destroy them again and again!"
"No? Yes, your eldest brother and the others have indeed never provoked me, but what about Ye Shaohua!" Gu Shen's mood suddenly became a little out of control.
"You are all the same people, the Chen family is the same, the Rong family is the same, and so are you. Each of you is aloof and looks down on me. I just want to destroy you. Only destroying the person they cherish the most will cause them the most pain. , and the most fulfilling!”
Gu Shen's expression became crazy, as if he was trapped in his own imaginary world.
Ye Qingning looked at him and suddenly felt a little sick, feeling extremely sick because of his blood.
"I don't know about the Rong family, but my dad, my grandpa, they are definitely not this kind of people!"
"No? Haha! It's all thanks to them that we are where we are today! Don't you want to know what happened back then? Don't worry, I'll tell you one by one."
Ye Qingning gritted her teeth and stared at him, the hand holding the phone turned white, as if she was trying to hold back something.
