Sweet Wife in My Arms

Ye Shuyun quickly walked up and grabbed Ye Xinyu by his collar, “Ye Xinyu, tell auntie how did you get so dirty and smelly? Quickly go shower, do you want to suffocate grandpa?”

“Also, you are really useless,” Ye Shuyun pinched his face again. “Why are you crying? Try to cry again. What are you crying for? Real men do not cry, have you seen your elder brother cry before?”

“Yes,” Ye Xinyu used his sleeve to wipe his face. “He cried when he was young.”

“How old were you then?” Ye Shuyun pinched her nephew’s face again. “Go take a quick shower. Things at home have been settled and it’s better if we didn’t tell you. This could have been solved easily, what are you doing back home? Focus on your studies and quickly graduate. Take over your grandpa’s burden for him.”

“Auntie, can you not strangle me like this? You have never strangled my brother before.” Ye Xinyu had a tender face and he looked like a young boy no matter how one looked at him. In reality, he was indeed young. Ye Chuji got married at an old age and Ye Xinyu entered this world a long time after that. He was almost eight years younger than Lu Yi. When he was young, Lu Yi used to carry him on his back around. When he entered school, he had a pretty look and was introverted; Lu Yi used to fight his battles for him. If not, this pretty face of his would have been bullied countless of times. After that, Ye Jianguo disliked how feminine he was and send him to the Lei family to train. When he came out, he did indeed have some fight in him. But he still had that pretty face that destroyed all the ferocity that the Ye family had.

He was sent out by Ye Shuyun to take a shower and change his clothes. His mother had died from a hard labour while giving birth to him and back then, he was brought up by his grandmother. It was a pity that she also passed away when he was three years old. After that, Ye Shuyun brought him to the Lu family and brought him up like her own son. He was raised by her and even though he calls her auntie, he treats her like a mother. It was no wonder that he listened to Ye Shuyun’s words and it was unthinkable for him not to.

In the room, Lu Yi supported Ye Jianguo to rest. In actual fact, he wasn’t ill, he was just too agitated and he just needed to rest well at home during this period. Old Lu had sent his own military doctor to Ye Jianguo and if he wasn’t still in the old folks home and couldn’t leave, he would have gone over by now.

“Lu Yi, tell grandpa where did you get the money from?”

Ye Jianguo finally believed that they had the money and the Ye family wasn’t about to crumble. The airport was there and the port was building too.

Lu Yi took out the blood pressure monitor and helped him measure his blood pressure. He answered what Ye Jianguo wanted to know at the same time.

“The Ye family had $200 million. The Lu and Lei family didn’t have much time and only managed to raise $1 billion. I had $2 billion on hand and it was enough. I even bought back your favourite Qing Dynasty porcelain set for you.”

Lu Yi put down the blood pressure monitor. His blood pressure was fine and he wasn’t really sick. He was merely agitated and once what was plaguing him mentally was gone, his body quickly recovered.

“Where did you get $2 billion from?” Ye Jianguo gripped his grandson’s wrist.

“Lu Yi, tell grandpa, where did you get this money. Did you do anything wrong?”

“Don’t worry grandpa,” Lu Yi helped tuck him in bed. “The money is clean. I borrowed it, and not from loan sharks. I invested in a movie a year ago and earned $800 million. I borrowed the other $1.2 billion from a friend. It isn’t the loan sharks and there is no interest. I borrowed it for this emergency.”

Ye Jianguo patted his grandson on the shoulder.

“I hadn’t realised you have the potential to be a businessman. Actually with your character, it doesn’t suit you. You are too stiff and not flexible. You will lose out if you do business.”

Ye Jianguo looked like he was about to go to bed but his expression was much calmer. It seemed as if he had let things go and could finally sleep. Of course, his body would only get better.

“Lu Yi,” Ye Jianguo suddenly opened his eyes again.

“You borrowed the money from that Yan Huan is it? The one you asked me to protect at the start?”

“Grandpa you guessed it?” Lu Yi didn’t deny but with his words, it was the same as admitting to it.

“Grandpa must be really old…”

Ye Jianguo sighed again. “Who would have thought that the person I casually helped back then would end up helping me, helping our entire family. Find a time to get her to come over. I need to thank her personally.”

“Grandpa, I thought you didn’t like an actress?” Lu Yi didn’t know when Ye Jianguo changed his mind towards people in the showbiz industry. He had a stubborn mindset and this was something similar to him. He was always saying the same thing about how actors are heartless etc. Hence, he didn’t really like actors, no matter whether they were good or bad.

After Lu Qin entered the showbiz industry, Ye Jianguo hated him first. He thought Ye Jianguo might need some time to accept Yan Huan but he hadn’t expected it to be this easy.

“Grandpa understand what you mean.”

Ye Jianguo wasn’t a block of wood, he gently heaved a sigh of relief as he relaxed his bones. “You had never asked me for anything and that was the first time you personally asked me to protect that actress. I know you keep everything deep down to yourself.”

“I believe your taste. If that wasn’t a good girl, you wouldn’t ask me for help personally too. Now that she gave you the money without asking anything, I Know that she is someone who values relationships a lot. This favour, I will remember it.”

That was right, he had remembered it but he never would know that one day he would go against what he just said today. Hence, life is unpredictable and no one will know what happens next.

“Don’t worry, if one day,” Ye Jianguo held onto his grandson’s shoulders, “Lu Jin’s father disapproves, I will help you.”

“Thank you grandpa,” Lu Yi was a little relieved. He had decided to marry Yan Huan and no matter what happened, he wouldn’t give up on her. But his grandfather was too stubborn and he wasn’t confident of winning him over. But even if he were to be chased out of the Lu family, he would still marry Yan Huan. He used to not care who he married so long as it was a woman, someone his family liked and could help him bear children.

But it was different now, he had met someone that he would fight for for the rest of his life.

Since grandpa agreed to speak for him with his grandfather on his father’s side, it shouldn’t be much of a problem now.
