Li Zhenglong imdiately called Zhou Zhenglong, but Zhou Zhenglong’s cell phone was turned off.
So, he called Ye Yulan.
"Hello, may I ask who’s speaking?" Ye Yulan’s sweet voice ca through the phone.
"Yulan, it’s , Li Zhenglong!" Li Zhenglong said.
"Mr. Li? Is there sothing you need?" Ye Yulan said, surprised.
"Uncle Zhou’s phone is off. Can you give his number?" Li Zhenglong said.
"Ah, oh... okay, just wait a mont, I’ll look it up for you." Ye Yulan said.
"Thank you!"
"You’re welco, Mr. Li!"
"Uncle Zhou, why is your phone always off?" Ye Yulan tried calling several tis but couldn’t get through.
"It might have been on silent just now."
"Oh, then I will try calling you again tomorrow!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Ye Yulan hung up and tried calling Li Zhenglong, but still couldn’t reach him.
"How strange, why is Li Zhenglong constantly not reachable? Could sothing have happened to him?" Ye Yulan thought to herself. But knowing that Li Zhenglong had always been by himself at ho, she didn’t worry too much, assuming he might just be tied up with so urgent matter.
The next morning, upon waking, Ye Yulan started packing, ready to move today, planning to find a new place.
After finishing packing, Ye Yulan got in the car and headed straight for the city center. After booking a room at a five-star hotel, she hurried ho.
"Yulan, why have you co back?" As soon as Ye Yulan entered, Zhou Liling imdiately ca forward to greet her, grabbed her hand, and said, "Co on, sit down and have a cup of tea!"
"Thank you, Mom!" Ye Yulan said with a smile after sitting down.
"You silly girl, why so formal with ? Look at you, you’ve lost so much weight!" Zhou Liling said.
"I haven’t lost weight, have I?" Ye Yulan said with a laugh.
"Just look at your cheeks, they’re much sharper than before!" Zhou Liling said distressedly.
"Mom, what you’re saying... I haven’t noticed myself getting fatter, so why does it sound like I’ve gotten fatter when you talk about it?" Ye Yulan said with a laugh.
"Yes, our Yulan has always been slim and pretty. Now that she has beco thinner, she must look even prettier!" Zhou Liling said with a beaming smile.
"I don’t care; you’re the most beautiful in my eyes anyway!" Ye Yulan said coquettishly.
Zhou Liling laughed, patted Ye Yulan’s head, and then said to her, "By the way, Yulan, let’s go visit your aunt today."
"Sure, let’s go see cousin!" Ye Yulan said.
"Okay, I’ll go get ready." After saying this, Zhou Liling went inside to fetch so things.
"Alright!"
Li Zhenglong spent the entire night restless and turning in his bed.
Only when dawn ca did he finally fall into a confused sleep.
When he woke up in the morning and saw the gray sky outside, he felt quite depressed but had no choice but to get up.
After washing up, Li Zhenglong left his ho and drove towards the Zhou Family Manor.
Arriving at the Zhou Family Manor, Li Zhenglong parked his car and walked to the entrance, knocking on the Zhou family’s gate.
"Who’s there?" the gatekeeper asked.
"It’s !"
"And you are?"
"Please inform them that my surna is Li, I’m a friend of Ye Yulan!" Li Zhenglong said.
"Right, please wait a mont!" The gatekeeper said and ran off to report.
"Uncle Li, Li Zhenglong is here; shall I let him in?" Zhou Yating, hearing the noise, spoke to Zhou Zhenglong.
"Oh, okay!" Zhou Zhenglong replied and said, "Let him in."
Once Li Zhenglong was inside, Zhou Zhenglong asked him, "How’s little Ye?"
"Auntie Ye is in the kitchen cooking!" Li Zhenglong answered.
"Little Ye? Sounds quite intimate!" Zhou Zhenglong said with a hint of sarcasm.
Li Zhenglong felt especially uncomfortable after hearing this remark.
"Dad, what do you an by that? Li Zhenglong isn’t just my friend, he’s also Yulan’s boyfriend, you should watch what you say!" Zhou Yating said, glaring at Zhou Zhenglong.
"What did I say?"
"Dad, what do you an by this?" Zhou Yating asked sowhat angrily.
"What do you an, ’what do I an’? Isn’t what I said correct?"
After hearing this, Zhou Yating fell silent and said nothing.
"Xiao Li, you’re here. I have sothing I’d like to discuss with you!" Zhou Zhenglong said to Li Zhenglong.
"Sure, Uncle Zhou, please give your instructions!" Li Zhenglong said.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhenglong nodded with satisfaction and then gave a few instructions to the doorman.
Li Zhenglong followed Zhou Zhenglong into the Zhou Family’s grand hall.
"Dad, you called here. What would you like to instruct?" Li Zhenglong asked respectfully.
Zhou Zhenglong didn’t speak and directly led Li Zhenglong to the upstairs living room.
Once in the living room, Zhou Zhenglong pointed to the sofa, signaling Li Zhenglong to sit down, then he took out a contract from the nearby safe and placed it in front of Li Zhenglong, saying, "Xiao Li, could you take a look at this and see if there’s any issue? If it’s all good, go ahead and sign it."
Li Zhenglong looked at the contract with confusion, picked it up, and read it carefully.
The contract was very straightforward, containing nothing significant; all it required was Li Zhenglong’s signature and his thumbprint.
Li Zhenglong checked the contract and found no major issues, so he signed his na at the end.
"Dad, this is fine now, right?"
"Mm, it’s fine."
"If there are no issues, then I will take my leave," Li Zhenglong said, and then he left the Zhou Family.
After Li Zhenglong had left, Zhou Zhenglong imdiately called Zhou Yulan, "Xiao Ye, are you coming back today? Your uncle’s family has invited several tables of relatives for dinner today, and if you don’t co back soon, I’m afraid your friends might tear our house apart."
"Ah? Alright, I’ll co back right away!"
"I’ll wait for you at the house gate," Zhou Zhenglong said.
"Mm!"
......
After Ye Yulan returned ho and saw her parents, she said, "Dad, Mom, I agreed to visit my classmate’s place today! So, I have to leave now; you don’t need to see off."
"Alright, be careful on your way!" Zhou Yating instructed.
"I know." After saying this, Ye Yulan picked up her bag and headed towards the door.
"Xiao Ye, wait a minute!" Zhou Zhenglong called out to Ye Yulan.
"What’s wrong, Dad?"
"Your car is broken; let drive you ho."
Ye Yulan nodded, "Thank you, Dad!"
"No need to thank !" Zhou Zhenglong finished speaking, bid farewell to Zhou Yating, and then drove Ye Yulan out of the Zhou Family Manor.
In the car, the two of them had little to say, and silence prevailed.
Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the destination.
"We’re here, get out," Zhou Zhenglong said after parking the car steadily.
"Mm!" Ye Yulan got out of the car and looked at the three-story Western-style house with a flood of emotions.
"Dad, why did you bring here?" Ye Yulan asked, puzzled.
"Aren’t you keen to et your classmates? I just helped you out, so don’t push it away."
"Okay then, thank you, Dad!" Ye Yulan said, and then she walked into the Western-style house.
After entering the Zhou Family house, Li Zhenglong looked around and said, "I thought there would be so many people. Seems like I worried too much!"
After saying this, Zhou Zhenglong also went into the Western-style house.
Inside the Zhou Family Western-style House, the decor was incredibly luxurious, with premium-quality furniture and decorations, and they even had professional service staff.
As soon as Ye Yulan and Li Zhenglong stepped through the front door, a server ca over and asked, "Hello, may I ask if you are Miss Ye Yulan?"
"Yes, that’s . Who might you be?"
"Hello, Miss Ye, these are your clothes, please try them on," the server handed Ye Yulan a white dress.
After putting on the dress, Ye Yulan felt like a princess, very beautiful.
"Wow! You look really beautiful!" Li Zhenglong exclaid.
"Of course! I am Ye Yulan." Ye Yulan said proudly.
"Mm, Miss Ye is indeed gorgeous!" Li Zhenglong genuinely complinted Ye Yulan.
"Humph, you don’t need to butter up. I know you married just because I’m beautiful, not because you like !" Ye Yulan pouted.
"How could that be? How could I ever dislike you? I treasure you too much. Marrying you was the luck of eight lifetis’ cultivation for . I don’t have enough ti to love you!"
Hearing Li Zhenglong say he loved her, Ye Yulan felt content, but pretended to be indifferent on her face, "You really know how to make soone happy. Anyway, you should go downstairs and take care of those classmates; I’ll change my clothes before coming down."
"Mm, okay!"
After saying this, Li Zhenglong turned and went downstairs.
Watching Li Zhenglong’s retreating figure, Ye Yulan’s eyes were filled with happiness.
