Chapter 225: Chapter 166: Winning Hearts is Paramount

"Jiangdu Scenic Garden? That area is really nice, and the recuperation is great too... But you still have to attend school, after all, you’ve missed so many days of classes. Your grandma would definitely be unhappy about that... Just let me take care of it for now,"

"I’ll go to school as usual, I won’t have to wait until I transfer... As for the care by then, I’ll hire a caregiver... If Aunt Ye has time, she can also move in, since there are many empty rooms in the house anyway. Chunan will come over too,"

Sui Yi’s suggestion was quickly accepted by Ye Xiuling. There wasn’t really any difficulty, and she indeed didn’t feel comfortable leaving the old lady in Sui Yi’s care alone, not because she worried about improper care, but because she feared it would be too exhausting for the girl.

Being capable doesn’t mean she has to do everything.

She, as a daughter, should certainly try her best.

"I understand... I’ll try to arrange the store’s matters when the time comes...,"

Sui Yi nodded, silently waiting for the old lady’s surgery to end...

The surgery took a long time, almost more than three hours, and the scene of Ye Chunan hurrying in with two boxes of packed lunches at noon deeply stung Ye Xiuling.

What, has my son’s brain got water in it recently?

Coming over in person is one thing, but to actually bring something with him!

Is he planning to extort money from her?

Ye Xiuling fell into deep suspicion...

"Mom, what’s with that look!" Ye Chunan, rolling his eyes, handed over the packed lunch, and glanced at Sui Yi, "It’s not just other people’s girls who are the best, your son isn’t too bad..."

Ye Xiuling snapped back to reality. So, was this boy upset that she always praised Sui Yi? She snorted, "Getting cocky over a packed lunch? When can you buy me a packed lunch with your own money, that would be something..."

"That’s easy... I’ll go back and bundle up those high school books. Even selling them by weight could make me fifty or sixty bucks, enough to buy seven or eight packed lunches, you guys can have one and toss one!"

Ye Chunan said nonchalantly, infuriating Ye Xiuling who kept knocking on his forehead...

Sui Yi didn’t have a big appetite and usually ate less at home, but she didn’t like wasting food. She served herself as much as she normally ate, and now faced with a full box, she had to patiently eat although, in the end, she reluctantly looked at a large piece of chicken leg.

"What, don’t want to eat? Not even the chicken leg... I added a chicken leg just because you are so skinny!"

Ye Chunan saw Sui Yi’s expression, cursed inwardly for her ingratitude, and Sui Yi gave him a look, "Did you eat?"

"I did!"

He ate?

Sui Yi and Ye Xiuling exchanged glances. School lets out at 11:30, and from school to the hospital, there had to be some time spent on the journey. When did he find time to eat...

But why not buy three portions?

Ye Xiuling belatedly realized, perhaps she didn’t give her son much pocket money.

The next second.

Ye Xiuling’s packed lunch was in Ye Chunan’s hands, with another chicken leg added for Sui Yi,

Ye Chunan: "..."

Were these two women intent on vexing him?

By the time Ye Chunan finished eating, the operating room’s light finally turned green.

The old lady was wheeled out, and Jiang Yunxiu, covering half of her face, gave Sui Yi an OK sign.

Only then did Sui Yi’s heart settle down.

Meanwhile, at that moment, the two Ye brothers were sitting in a teahouse, in a box designed for nurturing the body and mind, the fragrance of tea slowly filling the air. Ye Zhang, however, was incessantly gulping down tea, tapping the tea lid against the cup incessantly.

"Big brother, just like that, let it go? As long as that old hag doesn’t die, we can’t lay our hands on anything... Look at those damn documents she pulled out today, even if she dies, those things will surely be left for that bitch Sui Yi!"

The more Ye Zhang thought about it, the angrier he got, thinking that those belongings of the Ye family were rightfully his, and why should they go to an outsider, repeatedly thwarted by a young girl.

Huah Mei was very dissatisfied with Ye Zhang’s uncouthness, but regarding handling Sui Yi, she was also extremely ruthless.

"That girl is very irritating, if we don’t deal with her, she will be trouble... Why not...,"

A dark light flashed in her eyes.

There are too many vulnerable spots when dealing with a young girl... A few nude photos would readily trap her.

Ye Jue, who had been silent all along, tapped his cigarette in the ashtray, knocking off the ash, and spoke faintly, "She has that document in her hands, not easy to handle, especially with that doctor behind her... Some connections, probably some background too, we can’t be rash,"

"So we’re just going to let it go?..."

"Let it go?" Ye Jue’s eyes narrowed, sly as a fox, "There’s nothing of Ye Jue’s that can be taken away... But for now, the best strategy isn’t to confront her head-on"
