Chapter 167 It turns out it's a family tradition of learning, my apologies!
Ye Sanqing and Ye Jin'er arrived at the location quickly, where Zheng Jingming was already waiting at the door.
As a lawyer, he is very self-aware of being available whenever needed!
"Young Master Ye, Master Ye." Zheng Jingming nodded to them.
He has already prepared the relevant materials and is just waiting to use them today.
“Okay, let’s go up.” Ye Jin’er nodded.
Ye Sanqing took a look at the basic decoration of the building, which could be considered mid-to-high-end, with a simple and elegant style.
"Not bad, will all of us artists live here from now on?"
Ye Sanqing stroked his chin. "Why don't you get me a set too? It'll be convenient for rehearsing scenes or building rapport in the future."
"So you're only thinking about getting the house from me, aren't you?" Ye Jin'er laughed. "This place was arranged temporarily. You actually like it? If you do, you'll have to ask your older sister. I can't make that decision."
"Temporary? I think this standard is sufficient. Let's just change it here. It's convenient to get around, and the surroundings are quiet," Ye Sanqing said.
Ye Jin'er: "That's true. They can just change it themselves if they want later."
She casually sent a message to Ye Yifan, asking if there were any rooms available.
Ye Yifan quickly replied that there were penthouse apartments available, but the units were rather small. He also sent her the floor plan.
Ye Sanqing looked at it and saw that it was smaller than the one she was currently living in. It was a common type of small duplex, with a living room and kitchen on the ground floor and a bedroom and study on the second floor.
It's alright as a temporary place to stay, since it's close to the company.
Ye Sanqing: [I'm not picky]
Ye Yifan: [Transfer of ownership tomorrow]
After Ye Sanqing replied with "Thank you, sister," he put down his phone. Deng Lingxuan happened to come over and open the door for them.
"I'm sorry, it's so late at night," Deng Lingxuan apologized, then said, "They should be here in about half an hour."
Deng Lingxuan's home is in a small town near Yecheng. It's relatively quick to drive there at night, taking just over an hour.
The group went inside and sat down. Ji Wan then brewed tea and served it to everyone.
Deng Lingxuan and Ji Wan received better treatment than the newcomers, but they only got a two-bedroom, two-living-room apartment, which was only suitable for their current needs.
Fortunately, the room type has a combined living room and dining room, making it feel more spacious. Otherwise, it would have been quite crowded for the few of them to come in, not to mention that more people would be coming later.
"If the building weren't so new and the clubhouse wasn't open yet, we should have met there," Ye Jin'er said, shifting her leg awkwardly.
"Since we're just killing time anyway, why don't we log in? Five people is just right." Seeing that Deng Lingxuan seemed a little nervous, Ye Sanqing simply suggested playing the game.
Ji Wan: Do I want one too?
But playing games is indeed useful, and no one objected.
So when Deng Lingxuan's family arrived, they were met with everyone playing games on their phones...
Completely disregarding everyone else, Deng's mother entered and began to survey the room. "Xuanxuan, now that things are better for you, why don't you think about your family? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all moved to the city and lived together as a family?"
"You...should say hello first." Deng's father entered the room after her and quickly tugged at her clothes.
"Dad, Mom," Deng Lingxuan said with a worried expression, then called out to the people behind them, "Auntie, Uncle, you're here too?"
Whether it was the relatively homely environment affecting their nerves or something else, Aunt Deng and Uncle Deng swaggered in and were looking for a place to sit.
But there was simply no place for them to sit in the room.
Ye Sanqing occupied a single sofa, while Zheng Jingming sat next to Ye Jin'er, and the two of them occupied the double sofa.
Ji Wan was sitting on another small sofa. When he saw them come in, he looked up and gave them a simple and honest smile, but he didn't offer to give up his seat.
Deng Lingxuan had just moved a chair to sit on the side. After she half-closed the door, she quickly came back and sat down, saying, "Please sit wherever you like."
"What are you doing here?" Aunt Deng frowned as soon as she saw Ji Wan.
She was filled with resentment whenever she saw Ji Wan. Even though it was on the show, Deng Lingxuan was being unreasonable, but wasn't he unreasonable too? He didn't even try to persuade her!
No wonder I can't make big money!
"Ahem." Ye Jin'er cleared her throat, put down her phone, leaned back on the sofa, slightly raised her eyelids, and glanced at the four people who had just entered.
Ye Sanqing: When this person puts on an act, he can be quite the actor.
"You're here to apologize?" Ye Jin'er said sarcastically. "Apologizing with such a menacing attitude? I've never seen anything like it in my life! This is quite an eye-opener!"
"How can you talk to your elders like that, kid?" Deng's mother habitually used her age to intimidate people, but ultimately, she didn't speak too harshly because of the other person's status.
"Shut up!" Deng's father was a bit more perceptive than her. Seeing Ye Jin'er's expression change, he immediately grabbed her and said with a forced smile, "I'm sorry, Young Master Ye, my old woman hasn't seen much of the world. Please forgive her if she has offended you..."
"Go away." Deng's mother reluctantly shook him off, but she didn't dare to say anything more.
"Who do you think you are, to deserve my respect?" Ye Jin'er said coldly. "Don't think that just because you've eaten rice a few more years, you can be my elder. Have you only learned to be arrogant these past few years?"
"You know what, you can learn to be self-righteous without even living these few years, like Gao Feibai," Ye Sanqing said with a grin, seemingly in a good mood.
"So it's because of your family's scholarly tradition! My apologies!" Ye Jin'er suddenly realized and turned to Ji Wan. "No wonder they don't like you; it's because you don't have this quality!"
"Young Master Ye, what you're saying..." Ji Wan said with an awkward smile.
He was only here today to serve as a witness and to help Deng Lingxuan if necessary, but he never expected that Ye Jin'er would drag him into her verbal sparring with others.
It would have been better if Ye Sanqing hadn't mentioned Gao Feibai, because once he did, the other side got anxious.
Uncle Deng immediately stepped forward, "Woman! How could you frame Fei Bai like this? Have you lost your conscience? Make them release him right now, and I might not pursue the matter further!"
"Oh, Lao Gao, don't be anxious!" Aunt Deng's tone softened, and she continued, "Look, you're getting all worked up! It's all because of this child! Miss Ye, you're so kind and understanding. Our child couldn't possibly have made a mistake. It's all a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding! Please... don't hold it against us, okay?"
"I'm framing him?" Ye Sanqing didn't even move, not even lifting his eyelids. "If that's the case, won't the truth come out in court? If he didn't do it, what are you afraid of?"
"Hmph!" Old Gao exhaled heavily through his nose upon hearing this. "If this gets out of hand, it won't be good for you either. I advise you to know when to stop, or we'll all end up in an awkward situation!"
This arrogant attitude of the rich made him extremely frustrated.
"I'd like to know, how are you going to make me lose face?"
Ye Sanqing still spoke with a smile.
If the other party is a gambler, it means that the more desperate he is, the more he wants to gamble everything.
"Xiao Deng, didn't you say you'd apologize?" Ye Jin'er spoke up at the right moment. "I don't see any remorse at all. I even saw someone threatening my sister!"
Deng Lingxuan immediately said, "Auntie, Uncle! Can't you talk things out properly? Dad, Mom, you need to persuade them! What if my cousin really can't get out? Honestly, he's such a grown man, doesn't he know how to ask someone for a favor?"
She said this without any intention of getting up, which only made it seem like she was exaggerating.
The four of them were already embarrassed by being forced to stand, and with her fanning the flames, they felt their blood rushing to their heads. Old Gao even stepped forward and tried to lift Deng Lingxuan up.
