[Taozhi Yaoyao, Ye Zhenzhen]: Cook for me. "Yes, I heard it. I had a quarrel with Ye Zhenzhen downstairs that day, and then I wanted to go back to the room, but I saw Fu Churan coming out of the bathroom.
I came out of the house and was about to go over and say a few words to him. Before I could walk over, I faintly heard the voices of you and Zhou Jingshen."
So besides Chu Ran, she also heard it that day.
Wu Youyou's words made the hairs on Ye Rong's back stand up one by one. She asked tremblingly: "Have you told anyone about this?"
Wu Youyou glanced at her and shook his head: "No, I am the only one who knows."
Ye Rong immediately breathed a sigh of relief and moved over to hold her hand affectionately: "You, right, you must not tell others about this, otherwise I will definitely be unlucky."
Glancing at her hand, Wu Youyou raised his head again, pursed his lips, and said, "What did you say to Zhou Jingshen that day? Haven't you always had no contact with him? He... you... are you really...
It’s done…”
"Of course not." Ye Rong interrupted her, "Come on, let me tell you the truth. Don't tell others. I like Zhou Jingshen, but I know my parents will never agree, so I keep talking to him secretly. That time
You and Fu Churan saw us together, so I couldn't help it and talked to him at home, and you heard it."
Wu Youyou blinked: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. How could I still lie to you?" Ye Rong was confused and forced a smile, "You just want to help me and don't tell anyone about this matter. You see, now Zhou Jingshen said something like that
Well, everyone in my family hates him so much. If they know that I like him, they will definitely blame me, okay?"
Wu Youyou really believed her words and scolded her: "It's true that you don't like anyone but you like him. He is just a driver. You are the daughter of the Ye family. There are better choices than him in the future.
Silly girl!"
Ye Rong said nothing, only smiled stiffly.
"Okay, I won't talk about you anymore. You must feel very uncomfortable now." Wu Youyou comforted her in turn, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
Ye Rong said thank you.
"Then think about it for yourself. I'll go back and catch up on my sleep first."
"Um."
…
After getting out of the elevator and walking slowly to the garage, Ye Zhenzhen asked the question she had just asked in the house: "Second brother, why do you stop me from continuing? I still have a lot to say."
Ye Xiu walked forward casually: "There is no evidence now, no matter how much you say, it will be in vain."
"What should we do?"
Ye Xiu paused, and Ye Zhenzhen stopped following him. He was taller than her, so she needed to look up at him and ask: "What's wrong?"
"Zhen Zhen, are those things you said true?"
How should she answer this? Just like Ye Xiu said, everything is just speculation without substantial evidence, but if it is not true, then all this is too coincidental for her, and the coincidence is shocking.
"Second brother, I would rather believe it is true."
Ye Xiu smiled: "Well, if you believe in yourself, then the second brother will also believe in you." He reached out and rubbed her head, his bright eyes emitting a strange light, "Then I need to find evidence now.
, don’t jump in the grass and scare the snake.”
Ye Zhenzhen: "How to find it?"
"If Zhou Jingshen really has held a grudge against the Ye family for many years, do you think he will let it go?" Ye Xiu sneered, "If he could tolerate it for so many years, he would definitely bring down the Ye family. Now that he has achieved half of his goal, he will definitely do it next.
There will be action."
Ye Zhenzhen swallowed: "Then what should we do?"
Ye Xiu calmed down the anger on his face: "Nothing else to do, just wait."
Ye Zhenzhen nodded.
"Get in the car quickly, I'll take you back." Not wanting to discuss this issue for the time being, Ye Xiu asked her, "Since the day I buried my father and separated from you, I haven't been in contact with you because of busy work? Where do you live now?
?”
"I live in a small house. It's not big. It's good to live alone."
The two came to the garage, and Ye Xiu opened the car door for her like a gentleman. Hearing this, he glanced at her: "Aren't you going to live with grandpa?"
Ye Zhenzhen smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid grandpa doesn't want to see me." After a pause, he added: "Don't worry about grandpa, now the third brother and sister-in-law Xinrong are living there to take care of grandpa."
Ye Xiu nodded without saying anything, pushed her into the car, then went around and got in the car.
After fastening his seat belt, Ye Xiu started the car and left. When he left the community, he saw the reporters squatting in the distance again. Ye Zhenzhen sighed: "They are really persistent."
Ye Xiu put his slender fingers on the steering wheel and said nothing.
His car and the house he lives in now were bought with his own money after he left the Ye family, so Zhou Jingshen couldn't take them away. That's why Ye's mother and the others now have a place to stay.
"Second brother." Seeing that the atmosphere in the carriage became silent, Ye Zhenzhen spoke again: "Have you not put down Sister-in-law Xinrong yet?"
Ye Xiu's hand froze.
Ye Zhenzhen sighed with emotion and advised him: "After so many years, the third brother and sister-in-law are living a good life. You should look forward, find a girl and live a good life."
Ye Xiu actually smiled: "You have educated your second brother, why don't you talk about yourself."
"What do I have to say."
"I never ask anything about you and your eldest brother, because I know how it feels to like someone but not be able to be together." Ye Xiu looked at the car without squinting, not even looking at her, but what he said hit her directly.
Heart, "But sometimes giving up is not necessarily the worst outcome. Letting go can actually be a relief."
Ye Zhenzhen didn't speak for a long time. Ye Xiu thought she would remain silent forever. The car was too quiet. He reached out and turned on the radio, and soft and comfortable singing slowly floated out.
Following the singing, Ye Zhenzhen said quietly: "But after you let go, you will never forget it, right? Just like you, second brother, after so many years, you have known that third sister-in-law and third brother are living a happy life, but you are still single
one person."

After sending Ye Zhenzhen back, Ye Xiu went back and bought some fruits on the roadside. When he opened the door, there was no one in the living room.
He changed into slippers and walked on the ground, feeling even more deserted.
After arriving in the living room and putting the fruit on the coffee table, I heard something faintly moving on the balcony.
Ye Xiu walked over.
Ye Rong was talking on the phone: "What are you doing?"
He couldn't hear what the other party said, he could only hear Ye Rong's voice.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"Oh, why should we meet?"
"Don't tell me that you are busy. I tell you that I must see you. You don't know how scared I am. I can't sleep or eat well every day. Today Ye Zhenzhen suddenly came over and said...said...
"Ye Rong remembered what happened at Ye's house last time. Someone saw and heard her talking to Zhou Jingshen, and she was frightened, so she didn't dare to speak easily.
"Anyway, I want to see you. If I can't see you, I might start talking nonsense one day!"
She was very verbal.
The other party seemed to have said some words to comfort her, and soon her mood gradually calmed down. After saying a few more words, Ye Rong hung up the phone, holding the phone tightly in her hand and staring at the world outside.
"Rong Rong."
A voice suddenly sounded from behind, startling Ye Rong. She turned around suddenly and saw Ye Xiu standing behind her, his eyes heavy.
"Second, second brother?" Ye Rong's voice was filled with panic, "You...when did you come back?"
Ye Xiu didn't answer and asked, "Who are you talking to on the phone?"
"No, no one. It's just a friend from before. She called us to ask how our family was doing. She also said she wanted to see me, and I really wanted to see her too."
"Really?"
Ye Rong nodded immediately: "Yes, yes."
Ye Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
"If nothing happens, second brother, I will go back to the room first." Ye Rong came out of the balcony, pretending to be calm, and passed by Ye Xiu. His eyes looked at her like an eagle, so sharp that it was scary.
.
She quickened her pace and returned to the room with basic breathing.
*
The place Ye Zhenzhen rents now is an old-fashioned house with only six floors in total. She rents it on the top floor. There is no elevator and she has to climb the stairs. When she goes upstairs out of breath, someone is already waiting at her door.
"You..." Ye Zhenzhen looked at him in surprise, "Didn't you go to a meeting?"
"It's over."
"So fast."
Chu Ran nodded and urged: "Hurry up and open the door, I'm dying of thirst."
Ye Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment and quickly took out her key to open the door. Before she could take out her key, Chu Ran slipped in along the crack of the door, came to the water dispenser, took a glass of water with her cup and drank it in a few gulps.
.
Ye Zhenzhen opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Just as she pulled the key and closed the door, Chu Ran finished another drink.
"What did you do to make you so thirsty?" Ye Zhenzhen was amused.
After Chu Ran finished drinking, he put down the cup with satisfaction. When he saw her coming in from the door, holding a hat, glasses and scarf in her hand, he looked her up and down several times.
Ye Zhenzhen was shocked by his look: "What, what's wrong?"
"It looks like I didn't get beaten."
"..."
"Since you didn't get beaten, isn't it a success?" Chu Ran found a chair and sat down, "Do they all believe what you said?"
Ye Zhenzhen shook her head.
"What?" He raised his eyebrows.
Ye Zhenzhen sat down next to him and uttered four words: "Insufficient evidence."
Chu Ran nodded and didn't say anything else. The small living room suddenly became quiet, and there was a "chirp" in the silence. Ye Zhenzhen looked over, Chu Ran looked calm, raised his hand to touch his belly, and ordered: "Go
Let’s cook.”
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes widened: "Why me?"
"I can't do it."
"..." Well, that was the wrong question. She choked for a moment and then said, "No, I mean why do you want to come to my place to eat."
Chu Ran didn't answer and asked: "Have you eaten?"
Shake his head.
"Look, you must have to cook if you haven't eaten. Since I'm here, is it a problem for you to add rice for one more person?"
"……no problem."
"Then do it."
What he said was clear and logical, and he did not allow her to refute it. Ye Zhenzhen thought about it and felt that something was wrong. From the moment they first entered the room to now, the atmosphere and relationship between the two were very wrong. She sat there without moving.
"Don't go yet." He began to urge, "I'm so hungry. I drank a cup of coffee this morning, and I haven't even eaten a bite of food yet."
"But... there's no food."
She was telling the truth. The small house she rented now had one bedroom and one living room, only a small kitchen, and no 'high-end goods' such as a refrigerator and an air conditioner. Ye Zhenzhen these days was either ordering takeout or not far away.
I bought some cooked vegetables from the local supermarket and used the rice cooker to cook a meal myself.
Since Chu Ran wants to eat, she definitely can't buy those things for him to eat. He has a mouth full of food and likes to be picky.
"When I came back, I saw the mall and went to buy some."
"Why……"
After saying this, without waiting for her reply, he stood up, grabbed her hand and walked out the door.
*
Until they arrived at the shopping mall, Ye Zhenzhen didn't know why he had brought her forcibly. When he drove out, he didn't take her to the small supermarket near the house she rented, but to a large shopping mall.
The above-ground supermarkets really have everything, including all kinds of vegetables and meat.
Chu Ran led her towards the meat area, and Ye Zhenzhen followed. After she recovered, she said, "Oh, let's go back. We can even order takeout. What if we get spotted by the paparazzi when we go out like this?"
"If you keep an eye on it, you'll keep an eye on it."
"..."
He said it lightly.
Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes: "It's not like you don't know what's happening now. If we are targeted, it will be difficult for us to leave."
"What are you afraid of? If I can take you out, I can take you back in a safe way." He found some fresh chicken and beef in the freezer, turned around and put them in the cart she was pushing, and asked her: "What do you want?
What to eat?”
"You can buy more than you can eat. There is no refrigerator where I live."
"After you finish eating, I can take care of it."
Ye Zhenzhen had the word 'rice bucket' stuck in her throat. This guy looked thin, but he didn't expect that he could eat quite well.
Finally, when he walked to the vegetable section, he took whatever he saw on a whim. Ye Zhenzhen followed behind him and put all the unused vegetables back to their place one by one.
After visiting the vegetable area, Chu Ran looked back and laughed angrily: "You will refund whatever I buy. Isn't this nonsense?"
"I can't eat those dishes, and I don't know how to cook them, so there's no point in buying them back." Ye Zhenzhen explained, "How much can the two of us eat? Three dishes and one soup are great. It's not like buying so many dishes and eating them all."
waste."
"Now that we are entering autumn, some vegetables can last a few more days."
"It's not good to eat fresh food. You have to eat food that has been stored for a few days. Are you stupid?"
The two of them were arguing with each other, and Ye Zhenzhen put back a few dishes casually, which made the weighing aunt unhappy: "I said, you two, aren't you adding a burden to our work? You just take it one by one."
One by one, I will wrap it up in a bag and weigh it for you every time. If you go back and forth like this, the bag will be wasted. You think it is just fun. If our manager finds out, you will be scolded. "
Ye Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue: "Auntie, I'm sorry, that man is ignorant and acts like a child. We will never do it again."
After saying that, he took Chu Ran's hand and pushed the cart out of here quickly.
After walking far away, Ye Zhenzhen let go of his hand, but Chu Ran grabbed her hand back and held her hand tightly.
Ye Zhenzhen was stunned.
She looked up and saw that Chu Ran was also looking at her with a slight smile on his lips and even his eyes.
I don’t know what he is having fun with?
"Ye Zhenzhen?"
An unexpected voice suddenly sounded, and Ye Zhenzhen subconsciously looked towards the sound.
Ye Shaoyi and Bai Mei stood side by side in front of them, pushing a cart in their hands. The cart was full of food. It seemed that they had been shopping for a long time.
Why are they... here?
Ye Shaoyi was looking at her for a moment, and his eyes gradually moved downwards, where she was being held tightly by Chu Ran.
Ye Zhenzhen came back to her senses, looked at his expressionless face, and immediately shook off Chu Ran's hand.
Chu Ran looked sideways at her, and his face suddenly seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the valley.
"You guys also go out to the supermarket, it's really fate." Chu Ran chuckled and spoke calmly.
Ye Shaoyi looked at him without making a sound, and moved his gaze directly to Ye Zhenzhen who was standing next to him. Ye Zhenzhen pursed her lips and said, "I went to see my second brother in the afternoon and also looked at him.
Mom, you are not at home."
Only then did Ye Shaoyi speak: "Well, I have something to do and I have to go out."
What's going on? Just dating Bai Mei?
The words were stuck in Ye Zhenzhen's throat, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. In the end, she didn't say anything, but just lowered her head: "Let's go."
She lowered her eyes and no one could see her expression clearly.
The simple words "Let's go" were not known to whom. Several people stood there and no one spoke. In the silence, only the music in the mall was playing.
Ye Zhenzhen raised her head and looked at the people around her: "Let's go, you're not very hungry."
Chu Ran glanced at her and nodded.
Ye Zhenzhen pushed the car and left.
When he passed by Ye Shaoyi, he finally couldn't help but grabbed her arm: "I have something to tell you."
…
In the garage, Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Shaoyi were standing in the corner. Chu Ran and Bai Mei were standing beside the car. Bai Mei frequently looked in the direction of Ye Shaoyi. They were so far apart that she couldn't even hear them.
What are you talking about.
She stepped on high heels and came to Chu Ran. Chu Ran leaned against the car with his hands on his shoulders. He had a slender figure and a handsome profile.
"Mr. Fu?" Bai Mei said.
Chu Ran raised his eyelids and glanced at her, but ignored her.
Bai Mei was embarrassed for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, cleared her throat and said, "It's obvious that Fu Xian likes Ye Zhenzhen."
Chu Ran reached out and took out his ears: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Then I'll tell you the truth." Bai Mei didn't mince words with him, "Our goals are the same. You like Ye Zhenzhen, I like Ye Shaoyi. I just want Mr. Fu to work harder and make Ye Zhenzhen better."
Zhen Zhen got it..."
"So you think Ye Shaoyi can stay and fly with you?" Chu Ran interrupted her.
Bai Mei didn't feel ashamed and nodded decisively: "Ye Zhenzhen is the white moonlight in his heart. As long as this white moonlight belongs to someone else, he will forget her."
"Bai Yueguang?" Chu Ran murmured this, and suddenly laughed again. After laughing, Tiaomei looked at Baimei: "You women are really stupid sometimes."
Bai Mei's face froze: "What do you mean?"
Chu Ran didn't want to talk nonsense.
Bai Mei gritted her teeth: "Don't you also like Ye Zhenzhen? Why can't you work harder and get the woman you like." This would save her a lot of trouble.
"You can't get the man you like quickly." Chu Ran squinted at her, "Today is a good opportunity. Look at how much food you bought, he will definitely go back to eat with you. Eat
After dinner, get some aphrodisiacs for him to drink, and then force yourself to have sex with him. The next day you wake up naked and ask him to take responsibility, and Ye Shaoyi will not be held responsible."
"you--"
"What do you think of my proposal?"
Bai Mei blushed, "Bad idea!"
Chu Ran shrugged: "Although the idea is bad, it is very useful. It depends on whether you dare to do it."
Bai Mei was startled.
…
"Are you going to go home with Bai Mei for dinner today?" Ye Zhenzhen asked, lowering her head and looking at her toes.
Ye Shaoyi was taller than her. Standing in front of her, she was facing him like this. He could only see the dark top of her head. In the silence, he explained: "At around one o'clock, I received the call from Baidu.
Mei's father's phone call. You know his father used to be good friends with his father. Because of the incident between Bai Mei and me, I was angry with my father for a while. Now that my father has passed away, Bai Mei's father wants me to go to his house for a meal.
"
After explaining everything in detail, Ye Shaoyi raised her chin, looked into her eyes, and asked, "Why is he with you?"
Didn't he just refer to Chu Ran?
She didn't know what kind of anger she was feeling in her heart, so Ye Zhenzhen said in a bad tone: "You can be with Bai Mei, why can't I have a meal with Chu Ran."
Ye Shaoyi was stunned.
After saying that, Ye Zhenzhen turned around and left.
"Zhen Zhen!" Ye Shaoyi chased after him.
Ye Zhenzhen trotted to Chu Ran, opened the car door and quickly got in. Ignoring Ye Shaoyi's call, Chu Ran turned around to take a stance, but Ye Shaoyi moved his steps and blocked his way.
Chu Ran raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
Ye Shaoyi pursed his lips tightly and looked at him with sharp eyes. Bai Mei came over at this moment and reached out to pull his arm: "Brother Shao Yi, my father is still waiting for us to go back to buy groceries."
Ye Shaoyi did not move.
Chu Ran glanced at him and didn't want to cause trouble, so she avoided him and turned around to get in the car.
There was a knock on the car window and door, but Ye Zhenzhen ignored it. Ye Shaoyi took out his mobile phone and sent her a text message. Ye Zhenzhen couldn't hold it back for a moment and took it out to read.
"——I'll call you later."
Ye Zhenzhen was so angry that she almost dropped her phone. As soon as Chu Ran came up, she said to the people around her: "Drive quickly."
Chu Ran glanced at her, said nothing, started the car and left.
Ye Shaoyi stared at the car going further and further away.
…
When she returned home to cook, Ye Zhenzhen realized that Chu Ran had been very quiet all the way. Even now that he was back, he was extremely quiet. He was sitting in the small living room with the TV turned on and playing advertisements.
I don't know if he watched it.
More than half an hour later, she cooked the meal.
When she finished eating, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't eat any more without taking two bites. As soon as she put down the bowl, she heard Chu Ran snort coldly: "Don't want to eat?"
"I'm full."
"Really?" Chu Ran said in a sinister tone.
Ye Zhenzhen looked over for a moment, and he also put down the bowl and chopsticks, staring at her intently, his thin lips pressed into a tight line, like a sharp knife.
He suddenly pushed away his chair and stood up, turned around and left without expression.
The door was closed with a bang and a heavy sound.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at the table full of untouched dishes and remembered that he said to her with a smile on his face an hour ago, ‘I’m starving to death’, and now it’s like this again.
She sat on the chair for a while, then finally got up and threw all the untouched food into the trash can.
