Chapter 358: Chapter 358

Shen Bin’s words, Ye Ling believed wouldn’t be false.

Without waiting for her to ask, Ye He Ping already furrowed his brow, "Logically, Ye Ling should be considered a high achiever now. Her job position and salary should be good, how could she be allocated to such a remote place?"

Ye Ling also nodded. After studying for so many years, and now it being a time when there is a shortage of highly educated individuals, with her qualifications excelling in various aspects at school, she should be allocated to a good unit. There’s no reason to waste such a talent like herself.

Shen Bin straightforwardly explained the reason, "Although you are high achievers, it’s just theoretical talk; you need to be trained first in the job. That’s one thing, the second is someone pulled some strings."

"We haven’t offended anyone," Ye He Ping thought carefully, turned his head to look at Shen Bin, and furrowed his brow too, wanting to voice his suspicions but felt it would be too cynical, he hesitated and didn’t speak.

Shen Bin noticed Ye He Ping’s expression, just nodded slightly, and Shen Bin’s expression changed, "When we interacted in the compound before, I didn’t see him as that kind of person, how could he..."

At this point, Ye He Ping stopped and then realized, "That’s true, or else how could he use the Xiang Family’s affairs to make them agree?"

Ye Ling sat in the back without interrupting. When she heard Shen Bin say that someone had pulled strings, she thought this person might be targeting her. Father always had good relationships in the company, couldn’t have offended anyone, especially since he stepped down, making it even less likely for people to hold grudges against him. So, it must be something about herself. And hearing Father say this, Ye Ling also figured it out, it must be the Liu Family targeting her.

Then she heard her father in the front say again, "His own daughter isn’t bad either, but he insists on using these means to catch the boy from the Xiang Family. The Xiang boy is not just anyone. Now he thinks he can control and suppress him, but he doesn’t realize his age? Can he suppress forever? Isn’t he afraid when he steps down, the Xiang boy’s daughter could live a good life?"

When saying this, Ye He Ping’s mouth was full of mockery.

Shen Bin had his own viewpoint, "Some older people didn’t meet until after marriage and lived well; maybe he thinks that way too. Looking at what he’s doing, it doesn’t seem wrong. Once they have kids, there’s a bond. Even if dissatisfied, they swallow it."

Ye Ling nodded in agreement, she supported Shen Bin’s words, the Liu Family must be planning this, that’s why they had no scruples letting the Xiang Family agree to this marriage. If replaced with someone else, perhaps they would think like the Liu Family. Ye Ling naturally felt the Liu Family calculated accurately, not wanting her daughter to suffer, confident in their authority to control the Xiang Family.

Though Ye He Ping knew Shen Bin was right, he couldn’t feel comfortable inside, especially since someone was taken from his daughter’s side, "Their thinking for their daughter might be right, but they shouldn’t casually harm others’ daughters. Ye Ling finished college and was squeezed to that place. The Liu Family really thinks they can act however they wish?"

Speaking of this, Ye He Ping’s mind turned quickly, thinking how to find connections to clarify this matter. Where his daughter works is a small thing, but eventually entering the company matters more. But letting the Liu Family bully is something not to be tolerated.

Shen Bin gave him a reminder, "No need to rush this, good things aren’t afraid of being late. It hasn’t been allocated yet, right? Moreover, if she goes with me, it’s not bad. I can take care of her daily, and if she’s not happy with that unit, she can resign and come to our company. Although our company is private, the benefits are good, she graduated from a higher education, her qualifications are also higher."

Despite his unwillingness, Ye He Ping could only agree. Now that he’s left the company, he’s powerless. He understands the saying ’People leave, tea cools’. Fortunately, Shen Bin is still good, though he sometimes wonders if Shen Bin hasn’t cut ties with their family because of an agreement with his daughter.

The whole journey they only talked about the Liu family and had no time for other topics. When they reached home, it was still the same old situation. Ye Ling hadn’t returned for a year. During the summer break, she worked outside and didn’t return. Coming home for New Year, seeing her father here was her only reason to return.

The house was desolate, Ye Ling thought about last New Year’s, it was the same. Everything seemed just like it was yesterday.

Ye He Ping’s expression remained unchanged, a completely different person than last year. While taking off his coat, he said, "Your mother is obsessed with dancing now, not at home at this time; surely she’s out dancing. Dad will cook for you; I bought fish yesterday, we can stew it nicely, we’ll have a drink with Uncle Shen too."

Ye Ling smiled and said, "Dad, you two sit while I cook. Let me see if there’s any food that goes with drinks, you can start eating, but you should take care of your health and drink less." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel_fіre.net

Seeing her father thinner than last year, Ye Ling felt deep down, having just returned, not wanting it to feel sentimental.

Ye He Ping smiled, "Okay, then I’ll listen to you. I remember there being some ordinary peanuts; I’ll go find them."

The father-daughter duo went out together, while inside, Shen Bin’s gaze fell on the red coat, flickered, then withdrew, following them outside to set up the brazier table.

A plate of peanuts and a bottle of baijiu, the two sat and drank together. In the outer room, Ye Ling cooked quickly, heated oil, added bean paste, directly added water, put in the prepared fish, placed the lid on, put the washed rice in a basin with water to steam, then covered the pot, crouched to stoke the fire.

While the Ye family busied on their side, at the compound, Xiang Weilai heard his mother call him from his bedroom; he then went out for dinner. Tian Hui looked at her increasingly silent son, couldn’t help sighing, and handed the bowl and chopsticks to him, sitting across.

"Did you go to Dalian for the summer vacation? How was it there?" Knowing why her son didn’t return, Tian Hui didn’t stop him.

Xiang Weilai quietly ate, without looking up, "Mom, I didn’t go to Dalian; I turned to Shenzhen midway, found it nice there."

"Yes, the south always seems richer than our north." Tian Hui didn’t think much, didn’t blame, wherever her son went, as long as he could relax was good.

Xiang Weilai responded with a sound, "How’s dad at the company now?"

Speaking of her husband, Tian Hui sighed, "Your dad plans to resign; I think it’s good considering what happened, staying at the company only invites gossip." (To be continued.
