CHAPTER 265: CHAPTER 153-154: DEPARTURE / A NEW BEGINNING (PART 5)

"..."

Luo Zhenggang came home and was surprised to see his wife. He kept his composure well, but the joy in his eyes was unmistakable. He approached the kitchen door and asked, "Wen Xin, weren’t you supposed to come back tomorrow?"

"Why, aren’t you happy to see me today?" Wen Xin teased her husband with a glance.

Luo Ye smacked his forehead suddenly, "Oh right, mom, I was so excited that I totally forgot about it."

"I mentioned coming back tomorrow just to surprise you guys."

Luo Ye pouted, "Mom was probably worried that my brother and I would skip school to pick her up at the airport, right?"

"Why couldn’t your mom be worried about me skipping work to pick her up?" Luo Zhenggang made a rare affectionate joke. After saying it, he probably felt embarrassed to talk like this in front of his daughter, so he covered it up with a cough and went to chat with Grandpa Luo.

Luo Ye grinned mischievously, "Dad’s feeling shy, hehe."

...

Time flies, and before you know it, it’s March of the following year. With less than three months left until the college entrance examination, the whole senior grade section is filled with a tense atmosphere. However, outside of this tension, Ye’s grades had climbed to the top six of her class over the past few months. With a little more effort, getting into her dream university would definitely not be a problem, not to mention her physical health - if she couldn’t pass the physical exam, no one else could either.

A rather unexpected event over the past few months was that during the Spring Festival, Mayor Yang got divorced. It was his wife who initiated it, complaining that her husband was too busy and lacked the time to take care of her. This matter garnered a lot of sympathy for Mayor Yang.

Yang Xing thought about confiding in Luo Ye when his father got divorced, but, seeing the cold look in Luo Ye’s eyes, he held back the words at the tip of his tongue.

That day, as Luo Ye just entered Master’s villa, Dongdong ran over to announce joyfully, "Sister Ye’er, I got first place in my grade on this exam!"

"Dongdong, that’s wonderful!" Luo Ye smiled and complimented. The little guy’s academic performance was indeed beyond her expectations. When he first transferred to the local student class, she was worried he might not keep up, but he placed fifth in the class during his first exam. After adapting to the teacher’s teaching style, his grades kept rising. In this regard, the siblings have a bit of competition.

With blushing cheeks, Dongdong tugged at Luo Ye’s clothes, "Sister Ye’er, I’m going to be on TV again, can you please come with me?"

"On TV? Did Dongdong sign with some company?"

After Dongdong’s last TV appearance, several sizable entertainment companies took an interest in him and went to great lengths to find out which school he attended, considering signing him as a child star. This matter was discussed with Luo Ye.

Luo Ye refused to help them decide. Dongdong has decent qualities and the potential to become popular. If Sister Li wanted to leverage her child for status, that’s one route, but Luo Ye felt it wasn’t her place to comment.

Eventually, Sister Li decided not to let her son enter that circle too early. She also confessed to Luo Ye, touching on that moment of temptation, because after all, her son becoming famous and earning money would be flattering, and she would be able to hold her head high when returning to her hometown.

Even the Yin Family wouldn’t dare misbehave if they approach. The child is grown and sensible now, not someone they could snatch away as they please. But upon reflection, she realized she wasn’t even spending her current salary and didn’t need to disrupt her son’s education for the sake of money. She didn’t want to be a selfish mother!

Sister Li’s honesty made Luo Ye very happy, happy that Dongdong has a mother who truly loves him. Although the salary she gave to Sister Li wasn’t low, when compared to what a star could earn, it was not much. Such a temptation isn’t something every mother could resist.

Thus, when Dongdong said he’d be on TV again, Luo Ye’s first thought was that he signed an endorsement.

"Sister Ye’er, you guessed wrong. It’s for a talk show at the city TV station, asking me to appear as a primary student representative. I can bring two family members, can mom and Sister Ye’er come with me?" Dongdong looked at Luo Ye expectantly.

"When will it be?" Luo Ye deliberately teased.

"Next Friday at 7 PM, Sister Ye’er, you’re available, right?" The concern in Dongdong’s eyes deepened.

"Dongdong, why don’t you take Aunt Qingqing with you? I have time."

"Aunt Qingqing, are you off work?" Dongdong hurriedly stepped forward to take Sang Qingqing’s briefcase, "I’ll go take care of it for Aunt Qingqing."

"This little guy, deliberately changing the topic."

"What a clever little guy." Luo Ye smirked as she linked arms with Sang Qingqing, "Aunt Qingqing, don’t work too hard. Qu Yue said that the Liangyou affair doesn’t really need your involvement. We’re only getting a small share, why exert so much for that guy?"

"I’m not tired, just watching over Ye’s investment closely. Btw, that small store of Yin Dejiu was kicked out, right? He has moved to a new location and expanded his store, and applied again to join the Liangyou Chain. What do you think we should do?"

"As long as it meets the criteria, just let him join. All we need to do is treat him like a regular business owner. Dongdong has secretly visited him twice. The older the child gets, the more he cares!"

Sang Qingqing nodded, "Alright, I know. The last time Sister Li went back to transfer her household registration, the Yin family didn’t cause a fuss. Sister Li’s heart is warming up, sometimes mentioning the good things about Dongdong’s father from the past... Well, it’s hard for outsiders to say!"
