C2149 Wealthy Marriage 2076
She was shocked as soon as she said that. She stared fixedly at the man who slowly walked in and sat in the last row.
Her brother, who was secretly in love with her, sat at the back of the table in a suit and a pair of leather shoes. His familiar face had a calmness to it.
This was a taboo love affair. Just by looking at him, her soul had been completely sucked away.
The students below the stage were all curious as to why she did not continue speaking. The originally quiet hall had become a bit more lively. Even the principal, who was standing by the side, had a puzzled expression on his face.
"We are studying in this school and become classmates. Many of us have already gone abroad to pursue our dreams. Some of us are working hard towards our ideal university." Ye Shuimo looked at her brother again and again, afraid that he would disappear in the blink of an eye.
Ye Miao looked into her eyes and felt a bit sad. He was 21 years old and his life was going so fast. That timid sister of his had also grown up now. She was standing on the stage, looking at him.
His face was calm, but his heart was filled with grief for the girl's future. She wanted to grow up, but she didn't know that growing up would only make it more painful. She looked forward to seeing him, but did not know that he had come with bad news and shackles.
He was clearly a demon, but this ignorant girl had opened the door wide and welcomed him in, smiling at him.
Ye Shuimo hastily finished her recitation and couldn't wait to meet her brother. When she got off the stage, she was too focused and almost fell down.
She sat in the front row. From time to time, she would even turn her head to look at the man in a suit and leather shoes to see if he was still there. After waiting for the last part to end, she immediately stood up and walked towards the back.
There were so many students that she had to pay attention to her feet and to give a seat to the students who had come out from their chairs. By the time she got to the back, her brother was already nowhere to be found.
She walked out of the door in a daze but her arm was pulled by someone. Ye Miao brought her to his side. He didn't like being in a crowded place and those people looked like walking bacteria.
"Big brother!" Ye Shuimo cried out happily.
Ye Shuimo pulled her brother and passed her phone to a passerby, saying, "Please help us take a picture."
The latter took her cell phone and fiddled with it for a bit, "Classmate, come closer. You're almost out of the picture frame."
Ye Shuimo's heart skipped a beat. She slowly walked over and held her brother's arm, snuggling to his side.
Seeing that her brother did not push her away, she smiled sweetly at the camera. A leaf fell right on her head. Ye Miao reached out to take the leaf, and the person in charge of taking the photo pressed down the camera.
"Very good!" The man handed her the phone.
Ye Shuimo looked at her cell phone and saw her brother lowering his head to help her pick the leaves off the top of her head. His slightly lowered eyes and the side of his face were all in a mess.
"What are you looking at?" Ye Miao saw that she was lost in thought, so he came close to her back and stuck his head out to look.
Ye Shuimo grabbed her phone and ran away like a rabbit. "Nothing!"
Ye Miao raised his eyebrows, while his eyes were filled with disbelief. Suddenly, he pointed and said, "My hat is crooked."
Ye Shuimo held onto the cap that matched her graduation gown with one hand. That hat was especially difficult to wear. Today, she had worn it for a long time and was even helped by her classmates in the end.
A hand brushed away her hand, and a body taller than her by more than a head leaned against her, helping her with her hat in a natural manner.
When she looked down, she could see her opponent's black shoes and her own white shoes. The distance between the two of them was only a step, but she could smell the faint scent of a man's perfume mixed with a hint of tobacco.
When did my brother learn to smoke and spray perfume? While she was still thinking, the black leather shoes had already taken a step back.
"Nice shot."
She was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other party was talking about the photo in the phone. She wanted to say something, but her wrist had already been pulled up.
Ye Miao didn't like situations with too many people. He just pulled his sister and left. The latter stared at his back in a daze, her legs moving back and forth unknowingly, as if this wasn't a problem at all.
Unfortunately, the joy of seeing her brother hadn't passed yet. As soon as she got home, her brother was called to the study room by her mother's aunt. She had been waiting in the living room the whole time, but no one came out after two hours.
"Shuimo." Madame Meng walked over, beckoned to her, and brought her to the side hall, closing the door behind her.
"Aunt Meng, what's the matter? Why are you closing the door?"
Disguised as Madame Meng, Soong Wanting stared deeply at the tool she had created, feeling extremely excited. "Shuimo, Aunt Meng has been very good to you since she was young, hasn't she?"
Ye Shuimo nodded her head. Naturally, even though the other party was very strict, he had nothing to say to her.
"What about your Aunt Ao Xue?"
"Aunt Ao Xue? She's fine too. "
"Child, you have to remember that your Aunt Ao Xue is the best person in the world for you. You have to be filial to her, even more than being filial to your mother."
Ye Shuimo did not think so. She felt that her mother was also very good and irreplaceable in her heart. Of course, the other party was an old man. Since she said that, she could just listen and didn't think of rebutting.
She felt that Madame Meng's attitude today was a little strange, but she didn't know what exactly was strange. After saying these strange words, she left.
It just so happened that her brother also came out of the study, but it was her turn to be called in.
Ye Shuimo walked past her brother and lowered her voice, saying, "It can't be that we made a mistake, right? It feels a little like being interrogated."
Ye Miao also lowered his voice in agreement, "You'll know once you get in."
"Tsk." She ran upstairs. Ye Miao watched as her figure disappeared behind the door, but his lips became tighter and tighter. The gears of fate started to turn, and now no one could change them anymore.
In the study room, Ding Yiyi was very serious, "Shuimo, you have also finished your third year of high school. In terms of age, I feel that you also have the ability to differentiate between right and wrong.
"Together? Then, even big brother would go? "
Ding Yiyi nodded. "Yes, he'll be there as well."
Ye Shuimo did not doubt his words, "Were you discussing this matter with brother just now? "Then let's go, it gave me a fright."
The three of them looked at each other and broke out in a cold sweat for the historic moment that was about to come tomorrow.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for many people. At Ye Bo's house, a man was smoking on the balcony. He didn't feel sleepy at all and just wanted to wake up at dawn.
Inside the room, Soong Mengjie and the child were fast asleep, unaware that they were missing a person.
Ye Bo suddenly wanted to hug his wife and child. He said that the cigarette butt had been extinguished and was about to enter the house softly, but he received a text message from Hai Zhuoxuan.
"Tomorrow is a tough battle."
"Yeah." He replied, thinking that he really wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep.
The two of them sat on the sofa and snuggled against each other. They would occasionally say a few words, and most of them were silent. They were also waiting for the arrival of dawn.
On the other side, Ye Shuimo also didn't sleep. Since her brother came back today, she was naturally in a different mood from usual. Coincidentally, Sam sent a message, and the two started to chat.
As they chatted, sleepiness finally swept through her mind. She didn't even have the time to reply to a text message before she fell asleep.
On the other side, on the barbecue stand, Sam was helping Yan Mingyao manage the barbeque shop since it was already summer vacation. Business in the barbeque store was very good. Yan Mingyao was ready to open up the nearby shop and hire a lackey as his assistant.
"Kid, this is for you." He took some time to put a stack of fried river powder on the table and patted Sam's head, "Eat, you're growing now. Go back to sleep after eating, otherwise, you'll be worried again if you don't see you again."
"If she saw me and didn't see you, she would probably be even more anxious. After all, I can still fight. Even dad can't beat me now."
"Stinking brat!" Yan Mingyao laughed as he scolded. However, his gaze was focused on the luxurious car that stopped at the intersection.
The people who came here to eat barbeque were all ordinary people. The street owners would occasionally see luxurious cars parked in front of barbeque stalls. They were guessing where the barbeque stall owner got the hidden rich people from now and then to come here to experience life.1
Ao Xue got out of the car and stood there unmoving. Her exquisite makeup and expensive clothing were out of place with the style here.
Yan Mingyao took off his apron and handed it to his foster son, "Take a look at the front of the shop first. The third and sixth tables haven't been paid yet, so I'm going out for a while."
He ran over to Ao Xue. "You have time to come today?"
In fact, both of them knew that this was a courtesy. This was her first time here, and she obviously didn't like it either.
"Let's talk somewhere else." Ao Xue didn't like the smell of the place, so she turned around and got into the car.
The car slowly drove along the river bank. The wind blew in, making it rather comfortable. No one spoke a word. Yan Mingyao was waiting for the person beside him to speak first. Ao Xue, on the other hand, was just feeling confused and wanted to share her excitement with someone.
Tomorrow, everything would be different. Her life, Ye Shuimo's life, and Ding Yiyi's life.
How many years had it been? She had been living like a zombie and couldn't find her home. She had been struggling in pain, watching Ding Yiyi and Ye Nianmo's happiness and watching him disappear into the sea of people.
Doing this would not make her happy, but it would make her feel satisfied. There was already nothing in this world that could attract her. The only person who deserved her tenderness was no longer there, and she no longer needed to be gentle to anyone.
"Be careful!" The steering wheel suddenly twisted in the opposite direction. She hit the brakes and the car lurched to a halt.
"Are you alright?" Yan Mingyao still had some lingering fear. If he didn't notice earlier, he would have gone straight into the river today.
Ao Xue leaned back in her chair, recalling the terrifying scene from a moment ago. Suddenly, she laughed. Her laughter was soft at first, but it soon became louder and louder. She was almost leaning on the steering wheel.
"What's going on?" Yan Mingyao asked seriously.
She couldn't stop laughing. "It's okay, I'm glad, you know? Today is my happiest day. "
Yan Mingyao stared at her. "But you're crying."
