Song Jiqing and Ye's father are both smart people, and they know that they must not let Ye Luo and Ye's mother notice anything unusual.
Therefore, when Ye Luo came back with a box of cherries, the atmosphere at home had returned to the harmony it had been when she and her mother went out.
Even a veteran like Mother Ye, who has been in the world for a long time, didn't feel anything was wrong.
Ye Luo and Ye's mother also had a tacit understanding and did not ask what Ye's father and Song Jiqing talked about.
Mother Ye washed some cherries and other fruits, put them together into a fruit platter, and brought them out for everyone to eat.
Song Jiqing politely ate a little, then stood up and said he was going back.
"...Ji Qing, are you going back so soon?" Ye's mother urged Song Jiqing to stay, "Why don't you talk to your Uncle Ye for a little longer?"
The longer we chat, the more likely Song Jiqing will be able to deal with Ye’s father!
Song Jiqing made an appointment with Father Ye at four o'clock in the afternoon. Of course, he couldn't talk here anymore, but he didn't show any impatience. He just said calmly: "Aunt Ruan, I have some things to deal with in the afternoon."
Mother Ye was a little disappointed, but she didn't force Song Jiqing to stay.
At this time, Father Ye stood up, as if he understood Song Jiqing very well, and said, "If you have something to do, go ahead and get busy. Business is more important."
"Okay." Song Jiqing nodded, "Uncle Ye, Aunt Ruan, next time we have time, Luoluo and I will come back to see you."
Now that things have come to this, Mother Ye can only warn: "Come back often."
"must."
Song Jiqing refused Mother Ye's suggestion to send him downstairs, went down alone to get the car, went to finish the work and came back, the time was approaching four o'clock.
He navigated to No. 120 Cixi Road and drove there according to the navigation route.
There was no traffic jam yet, and the road was exceptionally smooth. Song Jiqing drove smoothly and arrived at the coffee shop at 35:30.
He parked the car, went in and found a seat to sit down. Before he could look at the menu, Father Ye appeared in the cafe.
Song Jiqing had already told the waiter when he came in. He also had friends coming over. The waiter asked Ye's father's name and led him towards Song Jiqing's seat.
Song Jiqing stood up politely and said, "Uncle Ye."
Father Ye nodded, "Sit down."
"Mr. Ye, this is our menu. Take a look at what you want to order." The waiter handed over the menu in a timely manner.
Father Ye was very familiar with this place and ordered a pot of tea without looking at the menu, and Song Jiqing ordered a cup of Americano coffee.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The waiter put away the menu and left. Song Jiqing and Papa Ye were the only ones left in the quiet and bright corner of the cafe.
Song Jiqing was calm and did not speak.
Father Ye didn't mince words and said bluntly: "This is not at home, and Luoluo and her mother are not here. If there is anything, let's talk straight to the point."
"Uncle Ye, I want to know how you met Liang Xi." Song Jiqing got straight to the point.
"..." Father Ye pondered for a moment before saying, "She became my assistant half a month ago."
"..."
Now that things have happened, Song Jiqing no longer needs to hide anything.
If he wants to protect Ye Luo and Ye's mother from harm, he must let Ye's father know what Liang Xi is like.
Song Jiqing used the simplest and most direct language to tell Father Ye about Aguang and Liang Xi.
At this time, tea just arrived.
Father Ye took the tea and thanked the waiter, his tone was very calm, without any ups and downs.
Song Jiqing was not in a hurry, just looked at Father Ye, waiting for him to speak.
After a while, Father Ye said: "For such a young and beautiful girl, of course I know that she has many suitors of the same age. Didn't she choose me in the end because of my money?"
"..."
Song Jiqing was somewhat surprised.
It turns out that Father Ye knew.
Also, he has worked hard in a foreign company for so many years and experienced so much before sitting in the position of a senior executive. How could he not even notice such a simple thing?
However, now that he saw it, why would he fall for Liang Xi's trick?
Song Jiqing shook his head, "Uncle Ye, I don't understand."
Father Ye knew what Song Jiqing didn't understand, so he smiled, and after a moment he slowly spoke:
"Your Aunt Ruan is very good, a perfect wife and mother. Because of Luoluo, my family is also very happy. My life seems to have no shortcomings. However, just because of perfection, my life has been dull for a long time.
"
Song Jiqing vaguely understood and confirmed: "You mean, Liang Xi brings you a sense of freshness?"
"That's right." Dad Ye said calmly, "When your life is dull and a young, beautiful, educated, and interesting girl appears in your life, you will inevitably be unable to withstand this sudden temptation.
.”
"..."
Song Jiqing did not agree with what Father Ye said.
No one's life can be full of passion all the time, there will always be a dull period.
At this time, even if temptation appears, people's bottom line will not allow themselves to be tempted.
Therefore, when life becomes dull, this is not a reason for cheating.
In the final analysis, it was just because Father Ye's inner bottom line collapsed.
Song Jiqing didn't want to argue with Father Ye about right or wrong, so he went directly to the topic: "Uncle Ye, I want to know what you plan to do next. You know, you can't hide Aunt Ruan and Luoluo forever."
Father Ye blurted out without thinking: "What if I say that I plan to divorce your Aunt Ruan?"
Song Jiqing's hands tightened suddenly.
In order to pursue and satisfy the so-called "novelty", a mature and rational man would just give up his family?
Ridiculous and incredible!
Although he was angry inside, Song Jiqing remained calm and said word for word: "If you really plan to do this, I will fight for Aunt Ruan and Luoluo's best rights for them. After you leave, I will take care of them."
"..."
Father Ye obviously didn't expect Song Jiqing to be so calm. He stared at him and didn't speak for a long time.
He has been a leader for many years, and his eyes are still intimidating.
However, Song Jiqing could completely overpower him in terms of momentum, and could even meet his gaze without hesitation and remain completely unmoved.
In the end, it was Father Ye who spoke first: "Actually, nothing happened between Liang Xi and me. I was just testing you just now."
Song Jiqing frowned, as if he didn't understand what Father Ye said.
Father Ye looked out the window and seemed to be organizing his words.
After a long time, Father Ye said: "I admit that Liang Xi brought a sense of freshness to my life. She made me feel as if I was young all of a sudden, back to when I was thirty-five or sixteen years old. But, I didn't
Completely losing my mind, I knew that my family was much more important than the novelty that a young and beautiful girl brought to me. After all, there are many young and beautiful girls, but only one family."
Song Jiqing was a little unsure: "So, you and Liang Xi..."
Father Ye followed Song Jiqing's words: "If your investigation is accurate enough, you should know that Liang Xi and I went to the hotel just to receive customers."
Song Jiqing questioned: "But the time you spend in the hotel far exceeds the time you receive customers."
"I admit that after receiving the clients, Liang Xi and I were still staying in the hotel. However, don't get me wrong, we were not in a certain room of the hotel, but in the hotel bar." Father Ye paused before continuing, "
No matter what the purpose of Liang Xi approaching me, I can't deny that she is a young and interesting girl, she made excuses to chat with me, and I... didn't refuse at the time."
Song Jiqing still didn't believe it, "Liang Xi just wants to chat with you?"
"Of course it's more than that." Father Ye shook his head and said calmly, "Besides chatting, of course she was also interested in doing other things with me, but I refused. If you don't believe it, you can go to the hotel to retrieve the surveillance video."
"..." Song Jiqing temporarily believed Father Ye's words, pondered for a moment, and then asked a more pointed question, "Uncle Ye, if Aunt Ruan and I hadn't found out, would you have continued to develop with Liang Xi?
"
At this time, facing people like Song Jiqing, there is no need for Father Ye to lie.
Father Ye thought for a long time and shook his head, "I'm not sure."
"..."
This answer, although unsatisfactory, is completely within the reasonable range.
Song Jiqing said nothing, waiting for Father Ye's next words.
Father Ye sighed softly and said helplessly: "At present, I can stay awake. But I don't know what Liang Xi will think of next, and I don't know if I will suddenly waver. I can only tell you
, I'm glad you found out and woke me up. There is no possibility for Liang Xi and me anymore."
Song Jiqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course he didn't want the Ye family to be broken up, so he went to talk to Father Ye just to save it.
Fortunately, the reality was much more optimistic than he expected. Father Ye had not taken the last step yet, and everything could still be saved.
Song Jiqing continued, "As for your affairs in the company..."
"You even know about my affairs in the company?" Father Ye was really surprised this time, but the most important thing at the moment was not to ask how Song Jiqing knew about it. He took the initiative to explain, "I have a sense of discretion, as long as I stop now
, what I did before will have no impact on me, and no one will even notice."
Lu Boyan also said the same - there is still a possibility of recovery for Ye's father's situation.
Father Ye didn't lie, he still maintained his final sobriety.
Is this considered a blessing in misfortune?
Song Jiqing said: "Uncle Ye, I have no problem anymore."
He was not here to question Ye's father, but to find out Ye's father's thoughts so as to protect Ye Luo and Ye's mother.
Now, he was sure that Ye Luo and Ye's mother would not be hurt, so there was nothing else to do.
Dad Ye took a sip of tea and said, "I have a question for you."
Song Jiqing had been prepared for a long time. He nodded and signaled to Father Ye: "Uncle Ye, tell me. As long as I can answer, I will answer truthfully."
