Chapter 187: Ye Rufeng Wants to Ease Relations
After Ye Rufeng encouraged Ye Qingbai, there was no further news.
"Second Grandfather, why didn't you ask me who I like?" Ye Qingbai was very eager to share at this moment. He felt somewhat disappointed that Ye Rufeng didn't ask.
Ye Rufeng asked in a calm tone, "The girl you like, do you think I know her?"
Ye Qingbai smiled shyly, "I don't know him, but I can tell you."
"The person I like is an outstanding girl, and she looks very cool and stylish."
When Ye Qingbai talked about his sweetheart, his eyes were full of infatuation.
"oh."
Ye Rufeng glanced at him. "What does she do for a living?"
Ye Qingbai's eyes sparkled, "When I was with you, I was just a Western doctor."
"Oh." Ye Rufeng lifted her eyelids and looked at him. "Lu Ye's sister?"
Ye Qingbai, "!!!"
"Second Grandfather, how did you know?" He hadn't even mentioned his name, just his profession. How could Second Grandfather have guessed so accurately who his crush was?
This is terrifying.
"I guessed."
Ye Rufeng looked at him, his soul asking, "Is it really her?"
Ye Qingbai lowered his head shyly, tacitly agreeing.
"I'm afraid you won't get anywhere."
Ye Qingbai was just immersed in the sweetness of his unrequited love when Ye Rufeng's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.
"Second Grandfather, why?" Ye Qingbai looked at Ye Rufeng defiantly. "I haven't even confessed yet, why are you discouraging me?"
“I’m not trying to be blunt, but you two are not on the same wavelength,” Ye Rufeng said. “Your ages are also incompatible.”
Ye Qingbai declared defiantly, "I like older men, they're more mature."
"People may not necessarily like smaller ones."
Ye Qingbai, "!!!"
After telling the truth, Ye Rufeng ignored Ye Qingbai's shocked expression, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a few bills. "Here's two hundred yuan, take it."
Without giving Ye Qingbai a chance to question, he lowered his voice and continued, "Go buy some nutritional supplements for pregnant women, and some clothes and shoes for the baby, and send them to your uncle."
Ye Rufeng, looking uneasy, reminded them, "Don't tell them that I gave them the money. Just say that you bought it."
Ye Qingbai looked at the money Ye Rufeng handed him and felt troubled.
In the past, he would have been happy to help with this small favor.
He desperately wanted one of his two grandfathers or his cousin to compromise and ease tensions.
But the current situation...
That woman was carrying someone else's child; it wasn't Second Grandfather's grandson at all.
Therefore, it's absolutely impossible to send things like nutritional supplements for pregnant women or clothes and shoes for children.
She doesn't deserve it!
But he couldn't tell his second grandfather this.
What a disgrace this is! If my second grandfather knew, he would surely be ashamed and furious!
Ye Qingbai's hesitant attitude made Ye Rufeng's expression darken.
"If you're having difficulties, then forget it. Just pretend I didn't mention it." Ye Rufeng lowered his eyes and put away the money.
"Second Grandfather, that's not what I meant."
Ye Qingbai was afraid that Ye Rufeng would misunderstand or suspect something, so he quickly reached out and took the banknote from Ye Rufeng's hand. "Of course I am very willing to help you with this. You are the child's grandfather, so it is only right for you to buy things for the child. I am very happy to run this errand."
Upon hearing Ye Qingbai's words, Ye Rufeng's expression relaxed.
"Qingbai, then I'll have to trouble you." Ye Rufeng coughed lightly and reminded him again, "Don't tell anyone else about this. Just say that you bought it."
"Second Grandfather, you clearly care about my cousin very much, so why have you always refused to associate with him? You are father and son, the closest people in the world. It's very painful for us to see your relationship so strained."
His grandparents sighed and felt very sad whenever they thought about how his second grandfather and his cousin had been estranged for twenty years and their relationship had not improved to this day.
Both father and son were stubborn. The son complained to his father, but the father ignored his son, and the stalemate continued.
My cousin got married last year, but my second grandfather wasn't in Bincheng.
His uncle didn't even inform him.
The fact that the second grandfather is now willing to give money to his "future grandson" to buy things proves that he does have that son in his heart.
He is also looking forward to the birth of his grandson.
Unfortunately...
Ye Qingbai was filled with indescribable emotions and didn't know what to do.
Ye Rufeng said in a deep voice, "It's not that I don't want to associate with him, it's that he doesn't want to associate with me."
His aura changed, and the atmosphere in the room became stagnant.
Ye Qingbai wisely kept quiet and simply put the money in his pocket.
Just then, he heard Lu Ye and Bai Zhi talking in the courtyard, and he immediately felt relieved. He said to Ye Rufeng, "Second Grandfather, I'll go say goodbye to my cousin and go back early."
"Alright, go ahead." Ye Rufeng waved his hand, and Ye Qingbai got up and left the hall.
In the courtyard, Lu Ye's medicine soup was ready, and he was pouring it out from the clay pot.
Ye Qingbai walked over, smiling and teasing, "Brother Ye, is your food ready?"
Lu Ye glared at him with a dark expression, full of disdain, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"I'll leave right away."
Ye Qingbai smiled and looked at Bai Zhi behind Lu Ye, "Cousin, can you see me off?"
Bai Zhi exclaimed "Ah!" and originally intended to politely decline.
Why would a grown man need to be given a gift?
That's a bit too pretentious.
However, when she met Ye Qingbai's gaze, she instantly understood what was going on.
He nodded and replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll see you off."
"Brother Ye, I'm leaving now."
Lu Ye was busy with his work when Bai Zhi followed Ye Qingbai out, and he couldn't stop her.
It just sped up the process of pouring the medicine.
Upon reaching the door, Bai Zhi stopped and looked at Ye Qingbai, asking, "Cousin, is there something you want to say?"
"Cousin, you're so smart."
Ye Qingbai looked at Bai Zhi and sighed, "My second grandfather just gave me two hundred yuan to buy some nutritional supplements for pregnant women and baby supplies to send to my uncle. I feel really uneasy about it."
Ye Qingbai eventually told Bai Zhi about it.
If Ye Tiandong hadn't been cheated on, he would definitely have quietly bought something and sent it over without telling anyone.
But given the current situation, he cannot keep his promise to keep the secret.
He didn't know how to spend the money his second grandfather had given him.
Ye Qingbai was extremely depressed. "If my second grandfather finds out about this, I don't even want to think about how angry and upset he will be."
"Cousin, what do you think we should do? Second Grandfather finally agreed to ease the tension between me and my uncle. He must be very happy to hear that woman is pregnant and is definitely looking forward to becoming a grandfather."
Bai Zhi was also holding her breath. She said to Ye Qingbai, "Cousin, take this money first. Tell him the things have been delivered. Don't let my grandfather know about this yet. Tomorrow we'll go to the restaurant to see how things are going. Right now, the most important thing is for my uncle to handle this calmly, punish the two of them, and prevent them from getting hurt themselves."
