Getting off the plane, Xiaofan hadn't eaten anything.
He kept running back and forth between the bus station and the subway station. If Xiaofan had taken a taxi imdiately after getting off the plane, he would have saved a lot of ti. Of course, Xiaofan was trying to save so money. But while saving, he lost five thousand bucks; if Brother Xiong found out, he'd surely scold him for being wasteful.
At the dining table, Xiaofan didn't hold back at all, swallowing mouthfuls of food.
"Xiaofan, slow down. Here, have another chicken wing," Liu Yun kept adding food to Xiaofan's bowl, clearly very welcoming of his arrival.
"Shaolong, if you don't co down now, there won't be any dinner left." For so reason, Ye Weiwei didn't like this Ye Xiaofan from the mont she saw him.
She was a young lady, and Ye Daqiao had made so money in business. In her eyes, these poor relatives ca to rely on them purely for that reason. It always felt like this Ye Xiaofan ca to take advantage of their family.
"I'm coming. Hey, who's this?" Ye Shaolong was about the sa age as Xiaofan, though Xiaofan was older by two months, so Xiaofan should be the older brother.
"He's your brother. Third Uncle's son," Ye Weiwei said without even looking at Xiaofan.
"How did I get such a country bumpkin brother? Hey, Mom, where's my chicken wing? You know I love chicken wings the most, so why did you give it to him?" Compared to his sister, Ye Shaolong was even more immature, even to the point of being completely unrefined.
"Huh? Yours? Sorry, I didn't know. But it's already eaten, so I'll treat you to it another day." Xiaofan maintained a positive attitude. However, he clearly sensed that the siblings had their issues with him. But in Xiaofan's eyes, there was a blood connection between them, and blood is thicker than water; so, he tried hard to be friendly, hoping to get along with them.
"Tch, it's not like I can't afford it, why should you treat ? I'm just hungry now with nothing to eat. Geez. Mom, get a bowl of soup." Ye Shaolong ignored Xiaofan's goodwill and ate by himself.
Liu Yun glanced at her husband, indicating that he should regulate the two kids because Xiaofan also ca from the hotown, and shouldn't be treated this way.
"Xiaofan, how's your grandfather's health?" Ye Daqiao finally spoke up, inquiring about the condition of his father at ho.
"He's okay. It's just that ho feels unusually quiet these days." Xiaofan replied.
"Hmm, I'll find ti to go back and check on him. By the way, which university are you attending?"
"Mingyuan College," Xiaofan answered truthfully.
"Mingyuan?" At this, Ye Weiwei imdiately responded.
"Hahaha, Mingyuan is such a lousy place, can that even be considered a university? It's hilarious." Ye Shaolong laughed out loud.
"It doesn't matter what school it is, as long as you study hard. After graduation, I'll see if there's a vacancy in the company and arrange a position for you," Ye Daqiao said calmly.
In his eyes, he, as an uncle, was already exceedingly generous. It's just that Third Uncle was too playful back in the day; after junior high, he wasn't willing to study anymore. He often went out with a bunch of people ssing around, and then got married young. Now his son is probably not much different.
"Thank you, Uncle," Xiaofan said.
Xiaofan's first impression of his uncle's family was negative. Except for Aunt Liu Yun, it seed that none of his blood relatives saw him as family.
At night, lying in the room that his aunt had tidied up immaculately for him, Xiaofan couldn't fall asleep. He didn't co to this city to study, he could even skip school entirely.
But there was nothing he could do; although he knew Shen Zuimo could be very close by, he didn't know the specific location of Yanhuang Soul. Even if he did know, he wouldn't be able to take Shen Zuimo away by force. Moreover, there might be another man with her, and she might not even need him anymore.
The Capital City is truly one of the most prosperous cities in our country.
There was still a day before school started. The next day, when Xiaofan woke up, his uncle was already having breakfast, looking like he was rushing to work. And the so-called big sister and little brother hadn't gotten up yet.
After quickly having breakfast, Xiaofan said he wanted to go out and explore the surroundings to get familiar with the environnt.
Liu Yun knew and secretly slipped him five hundred yuan, saying that having more money on him would make him feel more at ease, just having arrived here.
Even though Xiaofan didn't like the two siblings very much during dinner the night before, and even felt a bit annoyed, seeing how well his aunt treated him made the anger from being ridiculed at the dinner table slowly dissipate.
One thing Xiaofan couldn't understand was why such a gentle and virtuous aunt could have kids like this? Was it because of teenage rebellion? Or maybe they were spoiled when young?
"Hey, Li Kuo. It's , Xiaofan. I'm in the Capital City now, want to et up?"
Li Kuo, Xiaofan's middle school classmate, had been asked by Xiaofan to help gather evidence for Liu Siyan's family. He was also the one who sent soone to deliver the cara.
In middle school, there weren't many classmates Xiaofan got along well with. Li Kuo was probably the only one who beca a good friend. However, a fallout occurred between them over an issue at graduation. Surprisingly, three years had passed, and this guy didn't bring up that incident at all.
After receiving Xiaofan's call, Li Kuo imdiately drove over to et him.
"I knew you'd co. I was thinking of looking up which school you were at in a couple of days, but here you are calling . So, are you going to treat to a al?" Li Kuo asked casually when he saw Xiaofan.
"Yeah, order whatever you want. Here's the money for the things I asked you to buy last ti, I'll pay you back now." Xiaofan had taken a bit of cash from the bank while waiting.
"Co on, I'm not here for that small amount. We haven't seen each other for so long, tell , how have you been these past three years, any progress with the class monitor? And what about Chen ngying, why aren't you two together?" Li Kuo didn't take the money from Xiaofan and continued to ask the questions he was curious about.
"Before chatting with you, can you help look into sothing?" Xiaofan didn't answer Li Kuo's question and asked instead.
"I knew it, you never find for simple things. It was the sa last ti. Tell , what bad things do you want to do now?" Li Kuo shook his head and smiled wryly.
"I want you to help check on two organizations, Yanhuang Soul and Red Butterfly. Let know as soon as you find anything."
"You should've told earlier, then I could have checked it at ho before coming here," Li Kuo said, pursing his lips.
"No, you can't check at ho, and you mustn't expose your search in any way. If you can't do that, I don't need your help."
