Chapter 638: Chapter 638: (2nd Update)

"Did you find the things?" Jin Yu asked.

"Found them, the address Ye Xiangtian provided was correct, and we’ve also rounded up the whole group of suppliers," Jin Ruiyang reported.

"Hmm."

Jin Yu nodded his head; he had never actually doubted the content of Ye Xiangtian’s words.

"What about the Ye family’s people?" he asked.

Ye Xiangtian is not one to lie, which means what he said is very likely true; it wasn’t Ye Xiangtian who leaked the information before, it was Old Master Ye.

But all the evidence had pointed towards Ye Xiangtian.

That evidence was also submitted by him.

Jin Yu pursed his lips, realizing this matter needed to be put on hold for the time being.

Seeing Jin Yu’s concern, Ye Shaoting patted his shoulder, "Don’t worry, just focus on healing, we’ll handle this matter, and we won’t disappoint you."

"Exactly, don’t act like you’re indispensable," Jin Ruiyang chuckled lightly, "Without you, we won’t be affected."

How could Jin Yu not worry about the two of them?

All he wanted was to contribute to this matter.

"Alright, go down now, it’s time for the reunion dinner."

Ye Shaoting followed with a smile, "Eating reunion dinner with your family, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for me to join?"

"Nonsense, when did your skin get so thin," Jin Yu immediately retorted, handing him a crutch, but accidentally pulled at his own wound and inhaled sharply with a hiss.

This amused both Jin Ruiyang and Ye Shaoting.

When did Elder Jin become so fragile.

"Eh, where’s Qingqing?" The old lady suddenly noticed Zuo Qing was absent and asked.

Right as Ye Shaoting and Jin Yu and the others were coming down the stairs, they heard the old lady’s words and remembered the figure they had just seen on the balcony.

"She should be in the backyard."

He couldn’t help but mention that, and instantly, the old lady’s gaze towards him changed, eyeing the promising young man. Originally intending to have Xu Sisi call Zuo Qing back, she suddenly changed her mind.

"Young man, could you go get our Qingqing for me? It’s time to eat."

Zuo Qing was obedient, thoughtful, and clever, and after spending a long time with her, the old lady truly took a liking to this girl.

As Zuo Qing was Old Master Ye’s goddaughter, Xu Wentian doted on her, and the old lady, loving everyone connected with her own, naturally treated Zuo Qing as her own daughter too.

Along with that, the maternal instinct to marry off her aged daughter began to stir.

At 21, Zuo Qing was considered an older unmarried woman in this era.

She wasn’t worried for herself, but the old lady and Xu Wentian were extremely anxious on her behalf.

Xu Wentian was concerned she couldn’t let go of Jin Ruiyang, while Jin Ruiyang obviously had intentions towards his granddaughter, fearing this might cause family strife.

With this in mind, the old lady’s stare at Ye Shaoting lasted a little too long.

Feeling awkward, Ye Shaoting gave a smile, "All right, I’ll go check."

Saying so, Ye Shaoting slipped away and ran outside.

Thinking to himself, the old lady’s staring could really be unsettling.

Zuo Qing was in the backyard, looking at the flowers and plants, her mind heavy with thoughts.

Although she told herself to let go, it was not easy to do so. Seeing the ambiguous interactions between Jin Ruiyang and Xu Sisi made Zuo Qing’s heart ache.

That’s why she came out to clear her mind.

Sighing, and feeling it was about time, Zuo Qing got up, intending to return inside.

However, after squatting for so long, her legs had gone numb. Just as she stood up, she felt so numb that she could hardly support herself and nearly fell to the ground.

Zuo Qing let out a small exclamation, trying to grab onto something, but unfortunately, there was nothing but flowers and plants on both sides to support her.

So she fell to the ground.

Zuo Qing winced in pain, her face crinkling, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of combat boots in front of her.

"Are you... alright?" Ye Shaoting asked.

He had just tried to catch her but almost touched somewhere inappropriate. In a split-second decision, he withdrew his hand.

He thought that for a woman, it’s probably better to fall than to be indecently touched by a man.

So Ye Shaoting ultimately retracted his hand, watching her fall to the ground with his own eyes.

He even considered himself considerate.

Zuo Qing looked up confusedly, the man towering above her, his face stern and serious.

Zuo Qing gritted her teeth. Had he been right there just now?

He didn’t catch her when she was about to fall, and now he was asking if she’s alright as an afterthought.

Falling had happened, what did it matter if she was alright or not?

For a lady of her standing to fall in front of others, the embarrassment was unspeakable.

"I’m fine," she said through clenched teeth, trying to get up when suddenly her arm was grabbed.

Zuo Qing was slightly startled, and in the next instant, she was pulled up.

His strength was immense, and the hands that gripped her arm were like iron clamps, so firm she couldn’t wriggle free.

"Thank you," Zuo Qing said politely, signaling that it was time for him to let go.

Ye Shaoting frowned, his originally firm grip on her arm slowly sliding down.

Zuo Qing stared at him incredulously.

What was he doing?

Why was he squeezing her arm?

Zuo Qing always minded the propriety between men and women. Being held by a man she wasn’t close to was too much for her, and in her embarrassment and annoyance, she asked, "Mr. Ye, isn’t it time for you to let go?"

"Ah?"

Ye Shaoting looked at her, then noticing he was still holding her arm, reflexively, "swish," he pushed Zuo Qing away.
