Chapter 84: 0082 Ye Tuhao
Ye Qiu and Uncle Ying stood on the rooftop for a long time, talking. During the conversation, Ye Qiu also learned some things about Uncle Ying and his connections with the Dugu family.
After that Dugu family member left, Uncle Ying’s abilities greatly increased due to his guidance. Afterwards, Uncle Ying challenged experts from various places, defeating many martial arts masters. Of course, this process also offended many people. After being ambushed on one occasion, Uncle Ying was rescued by Huo’s father. Out of gratitude, Uncle Ying stayed by Huo’s father’s side, and that stay lasted for twenty years.
The two came to the rooftop, leaving Huo’s father downstairs. Huo’s father wasn’t angry; he quietly sat on a chair, waiting for them to come down.
It wasn’t until Ye Qiu and Uncle Ying returned to their seats that Huo’s father laughed twice. He didn’t ask what they had discussed but just chuckled and finished the last bit of his drink before they all left the restaurant.
Huo Qian was carried to the back seat like a dead pig. Ye Qiu didn’t ask Huo’s father for a ride; he left on his own and returned to the Goddess Villa.
Ye Qiu had been mysteriously busy these past few days, and no one knew what he had been up to. Shen Mengchen saw this and pouted, expressing her annoyance.
This guy had completely forgotten what his duties were.
Ye Qiu made dinner for the three ladies, temporarily easing Shen Mengchen’s anger, and after a pleasant dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.
In his room, Ye Qiu took out the Dugu family genealogy he had borrowed from Uncle Ying.
Since both of them wanted to find the Dugu family, and their goals were aligned, Uncle Ying naturally didn’t mind lending it to Ye Qiu for research. Once there were results, they could share them together.
Spreading out the genealogy, Ye Qiu examined the many records of the Dugu family members, each descendant accompanied by a life introduction in traditional regular script.
Ye Qiu read each Dugu family member’s life story, empathetically immersing himself in their lives.
Before he knew it, the night had passed, and he had flipi ped through the entire genealogy, feeling deeply moved.
The Dugu family had a family maxim forbidding any descendant from excessively interfering in worldly affairs.
Thus, many Dugu family members preferred to hide their identities. Perhaps the blood of seclusion ran deep in the family members, resulting in minimal interactions with the outside world, leaving the common world largely ignorant of their existence.
The Dugu family esteemed martial arts, and all were martial arts enthusiasts, regardless of age or gender. Even the children were not to be underestimated.
Early on, the Dugu family was thriving and highly reputed locally. Perhaps as a reaction to reaching a peak, the family suddenly declined; many Dugu family members died unexpectedly, ultimately disappearing from public view.
The surviving Dugu family members believed that the changes in their family were caused by becoming involved in worldly affairs, which led to the establishment of the family maxim forbidding involvement in such matters.
Having understood the origins of the Dugu lineage, Ye Qiu felt he was close to finding the real Dugu family.
Ye Qiu kept perusing the genealogy in his hands, when he was awakened by a text message alert on his cellphone.
Casually opening it, Ye Qiu suddenly discovered that the text notification was informing him of money being deposited into his account.
Ye Qiu checked and suddenly discovered that there was an extra billion in his account.
A billion!
Ye Qiu couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter. If this had happened back on the mountain, that old lecher would have snatched it away, leaving him not a penny.
With an extra billion on him, Ye Qiu instantly felt like his wallet was bulging.
In a good mood, Ye Qiu felt it was time to get a new outfit. The clothes he was wearing were still the ones Shen Mengchen had bought him, but today he could buy something for himself.
Passing by Niu Yinyin, Ye Qiu declared he was going to buy her some tasty treats. As soon as Yinyin heard "tasty treats," her eyes lit up, and she was ready to go immediately.
Based on the movements upstairs, Shen Mengchen and Shangguan Hong likely hadn’t woken up yet. Under Yinyin’s coaxing, Ye Qiu and Niu Yinyin slipped out of the Goddess Villa alone.
Niu Yinyin appeared quite excited, clearly because she rarely got to roam freely on the streets. Usually, it was either Shangguan Hong or Shen Mengchen accompanying her around.
"Big Brother Ye Qiu, I want this," Niu Yinyin said, instantly fascinated as she watched a vendor making sugar figurines, her round eyes fixed on the candy taking shape.
Ye Qiu paid readily, and the two continued to wander the bustling streets.
Yinyin was curious about many things and wanted to try lots of foods. It was unclear how her stomach was structured that she could fit so much food without getting fat.
Niu Yinyin eyed many items, and Ye Qiu bought each without hesitation, sparing no expense as long as they were suitable for someone Yinyin’s age.
Ye Qiu’s generosity earned him Yinyin’s giggly, cute smile.
In just one morning, Ye Qiu swiped his card no less than ten times, but he felt it was worth it to see Yinyin’s smile.
Finally having someone to accompany her to eat, drink, and play, Ye Qiu’s impression in Yinyin’s heart rapidly improved.
While shopping, Ye Qiu also bought Yinyin a new set of clothes. Dressed up beautifully like a little princess, Yinyin hopped and skipped ahead, while Ye Qiu followed, occasionally reminding her to be careful and not dart around.
With money, his wallet was bulging, and Ye Qiu thoroughly experienced the lifestyle of the wealthy.
The two strolled aimlessly down the street.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu caught sight of a familiar face.
What is she doing here?
Ye Qiu saw Chu Yao dressed very maturely, working as a sales consultant at a cosmetics store.
Chu Yao frowned. Standing next to her was an old man, nearly sixty, and Ye Qiu couldn’t understand what an old man was doing in a women’s cosmetics store, appearing like he was up to no good.
"Yaoyao, this set of cosmetics, I bought it specifically to give to you. How about going out for dinner with me tonight?" The old man looked lecherous, reminding Ye Qiu of his own unscrupulous, lustful master.
With a quick glance, Ye Qiu smiled and walked over.
"Chu Yao," Ye Qiu called out to her from a distance, interrupting the old man’s harassment.
Seeing Ye Qiu appear, Chu Yao’s face lit up. Whenever she was in trouble, he would show up.
"Who is this man?" Ye Qiu walked over boldly, standing in front of Chu Yao, his eyes sweeping over the old man.
The old man was displeased by Ye Qiu’s gaze and looked at him with hostility. He felt this young man was here to snatch away the tender young grass he was about to claim.
"Why are you here?" Chu Yao asked, ignoring the old man who was pestering her.
"I should be asking you the same thing. You’re not in school, so why are you working here?" Ye Qiu said.
Hearing Ye Qiu’s question, Chu Yao showed a hint of difficulty. She masked it by saying, "It’s to gain experience for graduation, and I can earn some money too." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Chu Yao’s smile was somewhat forced, something that Ye Qiu could still make out.
Could this girl be facing some difficulties?
At this moment, the old man, tired of being treated like air, grabbed Chu Yao and said, "Yaoyao, don’t you want to cure your mother’s illness anymore? Just agree to have dinner with me tonight, and this hundred thousand yuan is yours. What do you say?"
Chu Yao’s eyes flitted with panic and temptation, but she still did not want to agree. If she really went to dinner with this old man, the consequences would be self-evident. A sum of a hundred thousand yuan was definitely not just for a meal.
"I know about your mother’s illness. With this hundred thousand yuan, she can undergo surgery. Do you want to see your mother continue to suffer?" The old man’s words struck a chord. At least Chu Yao’s expression softened, biting her lips and struggling with what to do.
"It’s just dinner, Yaoyao. Rest assured, I am a decent man. We really are just having dinner, and after tonight, the hundred thousand yuan is yours. What are you hesitating for?"
"You don’t think this young man could give you a hundred thousand yuan, do you?" The old man suddenly targeted Ye Qiu, his eyes filled with disdain. He only needed to glance at Ye Qiu to see that he was no wealthy man. Ye Qiu’s attire was too ordinary. He could hardly pull out ten thousand yuan, let alone a hundred thousand.
Ye Qiu had been silent the whole time, but he now understood the old man’s intentions. The man was exploiting the fact that Chu Yao’s mother was seriously ill. With a hundred thousand yuan, he wanted to achieve his disgraceful objectives.
With that thought in mind, disgusted by the old man’s demeanor, Ye Qiu pulled Chu Yao towards him.
He gently cradled Chu Yao’s face in his hands and said warmly, "Why didn’t you say you needed money earlier? Something as serious as your mother falling ill should be shared with me. Here, take this. This is three hundred thousand yuan. If it’s not enough, just ask for more, don’t suffer in silence."
After speaking, Ye Qiu placed a black bag in Chu Yao’s arms, patted her head affectionately.
The old man, seeing Ye Qiu mention three hundred thousand yuan, laughed it off initially, saying, "Stop bluffing. Three hundred thousand, young man, you must be crazy with greed. Who carries around three hundred thousand yuan in cash on the streets!"
Chu Yao instinctively touched the black bag in her arms. Ye Qiu said, "Show him. See if it’s money inside."
Confidently smiling, Chu Yao obediently took out a stack.
What else could it be but money, neatly stacked, probably amounting to ten thousand yuan.
At this point, the old man had nothing to say. He couldn’t have imagined someone would actually walk around with so much cash. He was indeed a lunatic.
"Good kid, you’re tough," the old man said, huffing coldly, throwing his sleeve and walking away. Staying any longer would only bring more humiliation.
Meanwhile, Chu Yao stood there, holding the three hundred thousand yuan in her arms, speechless.
How could he have so much money?
Chu Yao remembered the first time she saw Ye Qiu. He was wearing the same clothes as today, looking unsophisticated, and it was hard to imagine him as a wealthy man.
Yet today, Ye Qiu casually handed her a bag of money, making Chu Yao realize that Ye Qiu might not be poor, but rather quite wealthy.
Her mind raced with many thoughts. Yes, Ye Qiu had a close relationship with Shen Mengchen, escorting Chu Yao to school every day. How could he be poor?
Chu Yao suddenly realized that her previous perceptions of Ye Qiu were probably all wrong.
