Gentle Beast [Entertainment Circle]

Chapter 12 - cloudy day



12

The weather in Jiangcheng in March is like a child’s moody face.

The first second was an innocent and pure smile, and the next second, he burst into tears.

Doors and windows of dormitory 501 are closed.

The curtain was pulled up by Wu Pei, the light was dim, and only the computer screen was playing a horror movie.

Ye Liuying changed her clothes and came out of the bathroom, just in time to hear Wu Pei’s strange cry and the ghost that flashed by in the movie.

“What did you do wrong to see this to punish yourself?” She frowned suspiciously.

“It’s not that I don’t have you, don’t talk nonsense…” Wu Pei hugged the doll tightly, denying Sanlian.

Zhong Yi had already boarded the plane to Tongcheng.

Before he left, he specially sent a message to Ye Liuying and Wu Pei, inviting them to play in Tongcheng.

Of course, the news to Wu Pei was a little special.

Ye Liuying smiled and said softly, “Then watch it first, I’ll go back.”

Wu Pei couldn’t help but tilt his head to look at Ye Liuying.

She was standing in front of the wardrobe wearing a long skirt with a plain bellflower pattern.

Except for necessary occasions, Ye Liuying usually doesn’t like to wear makeup very much, but it’s rare for her to wear light makeup when she came home two times.

Gentle champagne eye shadow is used as an embellishment, and her light brown round cat eyes are as transparent as a fine gem, making people want to live in her eyes.

I don’t know if it was because the aftertaste of the horror movie didn’t disappear, Wu Pei somehow felt that she was like a ghost in the mountains who took time to go down the mountain to **** the blood.

As long as she wants, she can take away the soul of others at any time.

“A Ying…?” Wu Pei was stunned and called out her name subconsciously.

“Huh?” Ye Liuying took a taro purple knitted sweater from the closet and put it on her body.

She pulled her long hair out of her clothes, and when she lowered her head, she met Wu Pei’s gaze in confusion.

Wu Pei felt his throat tightened for no reason, so he swallowed indiscriminately and said, “Then what… remember to pack Grandpa Lu’s chicken ravioli for me when you come back.”

“Okay.” Ye Liuying readily agreed.

Grandpa Lu opened a snack shop at the north gate of the school.

Their dormitory is a regular customer in the store, Ye Liuying just thought Wu Pei was greedy again, greeted her and went out with a small bag.

It had just rained in the afternoon, and there was still a wet mist in the air.

As soon as Ye Liuying stepped out of the dormitory, he saw Meng Linzhou not far away.

A simple white shirt is paired with a jungle green work jacket and dark grey cropped pants.

In the past, Meng Linzhou looked so gentle towards everyone, standing there without speaking like this now, unexpectedly showing some coldness.

“Waiting for a long time?” Ye Liuying walked down the steps and walked in front of Meng Linzhou.

Meng Linzhou looked up and saw that it was her, and there was a smile on his face again.

“It didn’t take long.” He walked outside, Xu Xu took Ye Liuying to the parking lot.

They didn’t talk much along the way.

This time, Meng Linzhou offered to go to Ye’s house with her, but Ye Liuying was too embarrassed to refuse.

But she couldn’t help but feel a little wary when she saw his expression of hesitating to speak.

Originally, Meng Linzhou didn’t want Ye Liuying to return to Ye’s house, but Ye Zhicheng and Meng Meiling would not give up easily, and this time they arranged the location directly at home.

Meng Linzhou wanted to mention Ye Liuying, but was unable to speak.

Seeing that Ye Liuying was about to get out of the car, he hurriedly grabbed her arm, “Chengmei can’t hold on for long… If my aunt and uncle make you angry, you might as well show them off in this name and leave the Ye family.”

“What do you mean… can’t last too long?” Ye Liuying’s eyelids jumped, and she had a bad premonition.

She thought that Ye Zhicheng just wanted to transform into technology products on a whim.

But listening to Meng Linzhou’s meaning, is the Ye family’s company unable to operate?

“That’s what my uncle lied to you.” Meng Linzhou couldn’t bear to hide it from her, “He has already invested a lot of money in it, but if you want to transform with Chengmei’s foundation, the company’s book liquidity will not be enough. And your uncle’s character is also not enough. You know, the R&D team he temporarily found has a lot of problems…”

Ye Zhicheng was used to being touted by his friends, and when he made up his mind to do something, few people could stop him.

At least the Ye Meng family couldn’t do it.

In the worst case, Ye Zhicheng took the company as collateral and borrowed a lot of money to invest.

And the products he invested in research and development will not be available in the short term, and even more funds are needed.

Therefore, Ye Zhicheng tried his best to attract investment some time ago, and he did not hesitate to attack her.

It was almost evening, and the lakeside villa of Liuyueju was brightly lit.

Ye Liuying frowned and nodded in response after a while, “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

Meng Linzhou couldn’t say anything else when he saw this.

Obviously he was on her side, but he felt that she was farther away from him.

He watched her push the door and get out of the car, and the slender back slowly stepped into the red and white building she was familiar with.

It seems that after today, everything will be different.

When Meng Linzhou entered the door, Ye Liuying was already sitting on the sofa.

She was sitting in a single chair, and Ye Zhicheng sat beside her to make tea. Because of the forceful smile, the flesh on his face piled up.

“Your mother has been talking about you these past few days, because she is afraid that you didn’t eat well at school.” Ye Zhicheng poured Ye Liuying a cup of tea and handed it to her, expressing his cheap concern without hesitation, “We are all a family. , Dad will never let you suffer.”

Ye Liuying took the teacup, but didn’t pick it up and drink it right away.

She raised her eyebrows, met Ye Zhicheng’s gaze and said, “So you arranged those for my own good?”

This can be regarded as sharp.

Ye Zhicheng’s face suddenly became embarrassed.

Seeing Ye Liuying’s clenched fist, Meng Linzhou couldn’t help frowning for her.

Grandma Ye and Ye Chongguang were not in the living room, but Meng Meiling saw Meng Linzhou when she came out to deliver fruit.

She was stunned for a while, and soon showed a kind smile, “Linzhou, why are you free today?”

“Just passing by, I want to eat my aunt’s sweet and sour fish.” Meng Linzhou pretended not to see anything, and walked over as if nothing had happened.

“Linzhou?” Ye Zhicheng didn’t expect Meng Linzhou to come back.

He thought about it secretly, and his face still had the same friendly expression, “You don’t say it too early, so that my aunt can prepare in advance.”

“Then let’s talk, I’ll add another dish.” Meng Meiling and Ye Zhicheng looked at each other, put the fruit plate on the table, and turned to go to the kitchen.

“I’m going to the bathroom.” Ye Liuying said later.

She walked out of the living room, turned a corner and followed Meng Meiling.

Only Aunt Mei was busy in the kitchen, Ye Liuying’s thoughts gradually settled, and she took a few steps forward.

The rear side of the villa has a floor-to-ceiling window that leads to the backyard.

Meng Meiling turned her back to her and was calling on her cell phone, “Ali, are you coming soon? Yes, Aying is already at home. It just so happens that her cousin is here today, so we won’t be in front of them for a while. Speaking of which, the little girl has a thin skin.”

“It’s nothing, we’ll have a good word for you… That’s it.”

Meng Meiling’s flattering laughter was still in her ears, Ye Liuying stared blankly at her back, unable to find peace in her heart for a long time.

Too many absurd things will always make people numb.

She felt like she was living in a huge lie. If Meng Linzhou hadn’t told her the truth, she would probably have felt that this was their forced and helpless choice.

But now, everything couldn’t be clearer.

“…Mom.” Ye Liuying calmed down and called Meng Meiling pretending to be calm, “Why aren’t grandma and Chongguang at home?”

Meng Meiling’s body froze, she turned to see Ye Liuying, took her hand cordially, and sighed, “Guangguang fell ill and fell asleep. Your grandma is upstairs watching her.”

“Oh.” Ye Liuying nodded slightly, letting Meng Meiling pull herself.

“Have you been to an audition recently? It’s all because of your parents’ incompetence. Otherwise, you would have received the film long ago.”

There was a little guilt in her gentle voice, which was completely different from the way she had just made a phone call.

Ye Liuying vaguely felt that Meng Meiling was implying something.

She didn’t say much, and skipped the topic after a few perfunctory sentences.

After Meng Meiling entered the kitchen, Ye Liuying was sent to the living room.

“We are still quite sure about this project…” Ye Zhicheng was talking big to Meng Linzhou, but paused a little when he saw Ye Liuying.

He patted his forehead, pretending to be annoyed and said, “Look at my memory, I almost forgot to tell you that A Li will come to our house for dinner later. A Ying, you should have seen him last time, right? Liu Zhili, The family is in the coal mining business.”

“The young man is very handsome. He said that he liked you very much as soon as we met. It just happened that we were discussing cooperation with us these days. He is a good person. You young people can talk more.”

Ye Liuying understood the twists and turns in this place, and suddenly felt amused: “You specially asked me to come back because you wanted me to come on a blind date, right?”

“You child.” Ye Zhicheng said seriously, as if he was really thinking about Ye Liuying, “If you say blind date or not, just get to know one more friend, we will never harm you.”

“Uncle, Ah Ying is still young.” Meng Linzhou’s expression changed slightly.

“Not too young.” Ye Zhicheng slapped his thigh and glared at Meng Linzhou with a smile, “That is, Linzhou, you dote on her. When your aunt was as old as her, she almost got married to me.”

As he spoke, he began to recall the past, reciting the interesting stories of Ye Liuying when he was a child.

Ye Liuying and Meng Linzhou didn’t talk much, and Ye Zhicheng didn’t care, so he was excited to talk.

Until Ye Liuying opened her mouth, breaking the peace in the room—

“You said this, do you want me to have more contact with Liu Zhili for the sake of my kinship?”

She looked straight at Ye Zhicheng, the clear and bright cat’s eyes seemed to be able to look directly at people’s hearts.

“Aying, why do you think so?” Ye Zhicheng avoided her gaze uncomfortably, “I’m not doing all this for this family, for you and Chongguang?”

“It’s for Ye Chongguang, without me.” Ye Liuying lowered her eyes, her voice was calm, as if she was just talking about trivial matters.

However, Ye Zhicheng was shocked when he heard it.

The daughter in his impression has always been quiet and well-behaved, and now it seems that he probably knows why her reaction was so big last time.

So she thought of them that way.

“You and Chongguang are the same in my heart and your mother’s heart.” Ye Zhicheng tried to grab Ye Liuying’s hand, but she avoided her.

She raised her head and tugged at the corner of her mouth sarcastically, “Could it be that Ye Chongguang was also bought by you?”
