Chapter 14 He's Cher's Dad
Luo House.
"Ye'er, my sister-in-law is a veteran. To be honest with my sister-in-law, did you give birth to Xue'er? You can deceive others, but you can't deceive me. I know you didn't get pregnant or have a baby." A woman in her twenties sat opposite Luo Ye and asked her.
The woman's name is Gu Jiaojiao, who is Luo Yi's wife and Luo Ye's sister-in-law.
"I didn't give birth to Xue'er, I picked it up in the snow." Luo Ye had no choice but to admit it.
The elder brother is like a father. Luo Yi has a family business to manage and doesn’t have much time to take care of Luo Ye. Luo Ye’s current daily life is mostly under the responsibility of his sister-in-law Gu Jiaojiao. The two seem to have a close relationship on weekdays, and in Gu Jiaojiao’s eyes, they almost say anything.
After learning about Xueer's affairs, Gu Jiaojiao was commissioned by Luo Yi tonight for a long talk with Luo Ye. As a veteran, Gu Jiaojiao asked Luo Ye many details about pregnant and having children. Luo Ye answered in front of the old driver with loopholes, and finally had to admit that Xueer was picked up from the snow.
"It's good that you didn't give birth to it. I know you are kind-hearted. On weekdays, you can't bear to see kittens and dogs on the road, let alone a baby. If you really can't bear to leave Xue'er, at least we can take her over and raise her together. Why do you need to lie to the school and say that you gave birth to it? Although it's not a feudal society now, the reputation of a girl is still very important, especially a big family like our Luo family." Gu Jiaojiao continued to talk to Luo Ye.
Luo Ye didn't say anything, not knowing what he was thinking.
"By the way, that boy is named Jin Ke, right? You just put Xue'er in his place and asked him to help raise him. What happened to you and him, right?" Gu Jiaojiao pretended to be careless and talked about another topic. She was entrusted by Luo Yi and wanted to find out the real situation between Luo Ye, Xue'er and Jin Ke, and then decide how to deal with this slightly tricky thing next.
"No, he and I... have nothing. He is a... very responsible person. I just... feel relieved to put Xueer in his place." Luo Ye shook his head.
"That's good, so you don't have any feelings for him, right?" Gu Jiaojiao continued to ask.
Faced with this problem, Luo Ye was silent.
"Ye'er, your brother has investigated. Jin Ke is an orphan. His parents die and live alone. I believe you don't really have any feelings for him, you just have pity, right?" Gu Jiaojiao's face darkened. Seeing Luo Ye's silence, she knew that what she was most worried about had happened.
"No, he is a very strong, independent and excellent boy. He doesn't need anyone's pity, he and I..." Luo Ye bit his lips.
"Excellent? How long have you known him? How well do you know him? You can use this word for him? Alas! Ye'er, you are too simple and easy to deceive! You..." Gu Jiaojiao sighed.
"Stop talking! I have no emotional entanglements with him, no, not at all." Luo Ye lowered her head. She told the truth. In the three months she spent with Jin Ke, the two had never touched on emotional topics. At most, they were talking about Xueer and each other's experiences together. Most of the time, she was talking about it and Jin Ke was listening.
Many unknown pains that were suppressed in her heart over the years seemed to be relieved a lot after saying that they were given to him. Jin Ke had a maturity beyond his age. He had the same melancholy eyes and the same pain hidden deep in her heart, but he was very strong and never showed it.
Many times, Luo Ye felt that Jin Ke was another her, only he could understand her world, and only she could see the melancholy in his eyes.
"It's good that there is no emotional entanglement. You just treat him as an ordinary friend, right?" Gu Jiaojiao carefully observed Luo Ye's expression, and she realized sensitively that things seemed not that simple.
"No, he is Xue'er's father, I am Xue'er's mother." Luo Ye corrected Gu Jiaojiao.
...
"Xue'er was not born by Ye Er, she admitted that she picked it up."
"That's good."
"Oh... things are a bit tricky." Gu Jiaojiao sat at the head of the bed, looking a little solemn.
"What do you mean?" Luo Yi, who was sitting next to Gu Jiaojiao, turned around and was busy with the family business. He hadn't asked about his sister Luo Ye for a long time. As a result, such a thing made him feel very guilty as his brother.
"If Ye'er only has feelings for Xue'er, it's nothing. At worst, we can just bring Xue'er home. She... seems to have feelings for that kid." Gu Jiaojiao answered Luo Yi.
"It's normal, seventeen or eighteen years old, and Ye'er lacks family care in her daily life. Some people pretend to care about her, so it's easy to get into her heart." Luo Yi took a deep breath and leaned against the head of the bed.
"How to remedy it now?" Gu Jiaojiao asked Luo Yi. He worked hard every day. She stayed at home and tried hard to share some of the burden for him. Unexpectedly, something happened to Luo Ye, which made her feel that her wife was doing a very dereliction of duty.
"It's very simple. At their age, their relationship comes quickly and goes quickly. Put down what you have at hand, spend more time with her on weekdays, take her out to contact more people, and contact some excellent boys in the circle, and soon she will forget that poor boy." Luo Yi thought for a while and answered Gu Jiaojiao.
"But if they still have a connection, this kind of relationship may be difficult to break." Gu Jiaojiao was still very worried.
"I have confiscated Ye'er's mobile phone card. That guy will find me when he looks for her."
"Now that WeChat and QQ are so developed, can't we contact each other without a mobile phone card?"
"Or why this is the case. Ye'er's reputation has become bad. I guess she can't stay in the current school anymore. I have to find a new school for her. I have an idea..." Luo Yi began to ponder.
"What's the idea?"
"Don't we have an empty villa in the Weilan Home Community in Huanghe City? In the past two days, I have arranged for someone to clean it and buy furniture and appliances. You can take Ye'er to live there and separate them from the distance. There is a fully enclosed aristocratic school near Weilan Home. As long as you take a closer look, they will never have the chance to meet again." Luo Yi said his plan.
"This is a good idea. By the way, I have a distant cousin Li Xunxun and Ye'er from the same age as they were in high school. Why not arrange her to go to that aristocratic school first. After Ye'er went there, let Xunxun and Ye'er make friends and help us secretly monitor Ye'er's every move." Gu Jiaojiao brought it out to Luo Yi.
"Okay! We will bear all the expenses of Xunxun at school. We will pay for any additional expenses needed to help monitor. Let her find a way to be Ye'er's best friend and gain Ye'er's trust. It's best if Ye'er is willing to tell her everything she wants, so that we won't worry." Luo Yi agreed to Gu Jiaojiao's proposal.
