"Dad, the house isn’t far from the station, right? Let’s walk back. Are you up to it?" Ye Ling didn’t let her father carry her bag, instead she took his arm.
"Not far, if a few steps wear out, then I’d really be old." Ye He Ping indeed seed much older than when he was at the company, at a glance, he looked five or six years older.
Ye Ling laughed, "Then let’s walk back, I can chat with you along the way."
Only then did Ye He Ping realize his daughter had sothing to say, and he thought of Xiang Weilai, understanding a bit more, "Alright, let’s walk back then."
On the way, Ye Ling first asked her father about work, seeing her father was quite suited for his job, and then talked about her school life, finally ntioning the situation with the Xiang Family.
Ye He Ping nodded, "Even though I don’t live in the compound anymore, I’ve heard a bit about it. He’s now suspended and waiting for an investigation from above. Soone who usually seed so good, how did things turn out like this? Weilai knows about this too, right? You should talk to him, tell him not to overthink it."
"Dad, the Liu Family might be able to help Uncle Xiang." Ye Ling didn’t beat around the bush, she directly told him what she had heard and finally asked, "Dad, how should I choose?"
Ye He Ping was soone who had worked in a company, now at a bookstore, he understood these connections, he just didn’t expect the Liu Family would be interested in Xiang Weilai. Thinking about the kid, it was indeed possible. Looking at his daughter’s face, Ye He Ping let out a deep sigh.
"How about asking your Uncle Shen, see if he can help?" Although Ye He Ping didn’t answer directly, he indirectly told his daughter that to help the Xiang Family now is the way to contend with the Liu Family.
"Dad, our family’s already troubled Uncle Shen enough, how could we bother him again? How would I repay that?" Ye Ling had thought about it, but felt it would be too much. To be with Xiang Weilai, yet asking Shen Bin for help, Ye Ling couldn’t do it. "Dad, in fact, when I first learned about this, I already told Weilai to help Uncle Xiang. I can’t let him feel guilty forever, seeing that he can help his own father and not doing it."
Ye He Ping patted his daughter’s head, "You did the right thing. Being with soone you love is important, but helping them is even more crucial. At this mont, it’s hard for him to make a choice. If you truly love him, you should help him decide, so he won’t regret it for life."
"Dad, I’m not as noble as you say. I feel bad too." Ye Ling lowered her head, her voice full of disappointnt. "But I can’t put him in a difficult spot. I think if it were , I’d choose family too. If I pretend not to know and don’t speak up, the only one in pain would be him. In the end, even if he chooses , he’d never be happy, and it’s better to let go."
Ye He Ping felt heartache hearing this, "It’s because your father is not capable enough. If I were still at the company, maybe I could do sothing."
"Dad, it’s not your fault. It’s just that Weilai and I aren’t ant to be." Ye Ling didn’t want her father to worry about her issues. "Dad, you see, things are looking pretty good now. It’s better to end things on good terms. Besides, there was nothing between us, just an agreent. People always have helpless monts. If possible, he wouldn’t want it to be like this either."
"Don’t worry, as long as you can accept it, your dad has nothing to worry about, just concerned about you." Ye He Ping also ntioned the Liu Family, "The Liu Family has so influence. Ye Qian’s job has been arranged, and it’s your mother who asked Aunt Wu for help. It’s a clerical job at a company."
Who could have thought that on one side they arranged a job for their younger daughter, and on the other, they were competing for the elder daughter? Previously, Ye He Ping was sowhat grateful to the Liu Family, but now he couldn’t stand their way of doing things. Even if Weilai really chose to be with their daughter, so what? Forcing soone who doesn’t love their daughter together, could they really be happy?
Recalling the Liu Family’s daughter pestering Xiang Weilai at the train station, Ye He Ping had seen so much, he understood quite a lot already. It wasn’t just the Liu Family eyeing Xiang Weilai, but also their daughter liking him. His own daughter was unlucky, first being deceived by soone she fancied, and after finally letting go and accepting soone new, again being taken away.
Not wanting to bring up these matters again, Ye He Ping changed the subject, "Although it’s a rented house, the unit has quotas. After the New Year, the families will be allocated housing. There are apartnt buildings and single-story houses. I opted for the single-story, it’s a small courtyard. So when you start working, you can co ho to your own room. There are east and west wing rooms, perfect for you and Ye Qian, one room each, no one will bother you."
