Touya Yaoyao
Chapter 17: Cross-cutting
After Ye Qiguo said that, Yu Yaoyao couldn't help but start to think about whether she had made a mountain out of a molehill.
But Ye Qiguo seemed to remember something, and suddenly leaned closer with a curious look, whispering to Yu Yaoyao:
"Yaoyao, why do you think it's ambiguous that your third brother gave you a house? Isn't it normal for a brother to give his sister a gift?!"
Ye Qiguo asked frankly, but Yu Yaoyao was taken aback for a moment before tentatively asking:
"Do you know... about keeping a mistress in a gilded cage?!"
Ye Qiguo was taken aback by her question. He looked at Yu Yaoyao blankly and couldn't help but ask in surprise:
"Isn't this just an ordinary idiom? It describes a man who would create such an idiom for the woman he likes..."
He abruptly stopped speaking, as if he had suddenly realized something. His lips twitched as he looked at Yu Yaoyao with disbelief. After a long while, he finally blurted out his accusation:
"What kind of nonsense is going on in your head? You're his sister, he's your brother, how can you think of him like that?!"
Yu Yaoyao touched her nose guiltily and couldn't help but mutter:
"Haven't you heard the rumors circulating in northern Beijing? Saying I was a child bride in the Ye family, and so on. How could I not overthink things under such rumors?"
Her voice was low, and there was a deep sense of helplessness and loneliness in her tone. When Ye Qiguo heard her say this, he subconsciously rolled his eyes. He wanted to say something, but after seeing Bai Taoshi's almost murderous gaze when she suddenly appeared beside him, he wisely chose to keep quiet.
He subconsciously picked up the cup next to him and took a sip of tea. Then, he saw Shirato Shirato take out a piece of cardboard, scribble a few words, and then glare at him fiercely.
After seeing the words Bai Taoya wrote on the cardboard, Ye Qiguo hesitated for a moment. Upon seeing this, Bai Taoya subconsciously raised his fist, his threatening intention extremely obvious.
After hesitating for a long time, Ye Qiguo took a deep breath and asked tentatively, as if it were a casual question:
Why did your third brother suddenly give you a room? Are you planning to move out?
Yu Yaoyao was unaware that Bai Taoshi was standing behind her, nor did she know that the question Ye Qiguo asked was actually the question Bai Taoshi wanted to ask.
So, she played with her fingers with a rather proud air, her eyes unconsciously looking elsewhere, and said in a boastful manner:
"No, not really. It's just that when I saw this old house the day I came here, I was so happy that my brother thought of buying one for me."
As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Ye Qiguo and asked him very seriously:
"So, this is pretty ambiguous, isn't it! Think about it, after all, they're like adopted siblings. Suddenly buying a house just because you like it, how is that any different from some people spending a fortune just to win a smile from a beautiful woman?!"
Ye Qiguo subconsciously glanced at Bai Taoyi, who was standing behind Yu Yaoyao, his face growing increasingly gloomy, radiating a cold aura, and exuding an aura that made him seem unapproachable. He looked at Yu Yaoyao with some pity and nodded.
Yao Yao, this isn't just a smile worth a thousand gold pieces; you've already spent millions of gold pieces before you even smiled at anyone, you just don't know it.
Sure enough, after a while, Bai Taoshi, his face dark, took out his phone and started randomly tapping on the screen. It wasn't until much later that his emotions calmed down, and he walked over to Yu Yaoyao, saying with a slightly teasing tone:
"What are you talking about?! And why have you been talking for so long?!"
Unable to resist, Ye Qiguo rolled his eyes again without any politeness. He picked up the water glass next to him with a mocking expression, took a sip of tea, and thought to himself that Bai Taoshi was a hypocrite, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back.
Yu Yaoyao was startled by his sudden voice. She then thought about the question she had just raised and couldn't help but look at Bai Taoshi with a scrutinizing expression, clearly suspecting him.
Bai Taoyi looked at Yu Yaoyao with an innocent expression and couldn't help but ask:
"What are you looking at me for? Is there something on my face?!"
Yu Yaoyao looked at him with a curious expression and couldn't help but ask:
"Did you hear anything just now?!"
Hearing this, Bai Taoshi looked at Yu Yaoyao with an even more innocent expression and asked with a smile:
"What could I possibly hear?! Or is there something you don't want me to hear?"
As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Yu Yaoyao, his gaze tender and affectionate, as if they held a thousand emotions and unspeakable love.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Yu Yaoyao immediately looked away and casually replied:
"It's nothing, just asking casually."
Shiratoshi raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance as he asked:
"Really nothing?!"
Yu Yaoyao understood the deeper meaning in his words, and couldn't help but snort coldly, questioning him:
"So what do you want?!"
Bai Taoyi looked at her face, about to speak, when Ye Qiguo stood up, stretched, and said:
"You've rested enough, rested enough, let's continue. We still have things to do, don't waste time."
As he spoke, he looked at Bai Taoshi, his meaning extremely clear: you should leave. Bai Taoshi glanced at Yu Yaoyao, thought about what they had just discussed, smiled, and then said:
"Okay, whatever you say."
Meanwhile, in the president's office at the Bai Group headquarters, folders were piled up carelessly on the sandalwood desk, while the man sitting in the office chair was passionately kissing the woman in his arms.
The woman was beautiful and had a good figure. Her slightly wavy long hair partially covered her face, and the halter dress she wore made her look alluring.
The man, who bore a striking resemblance to Shirato Ya, held the woman tightly in his arms, like a general conquering a city, wantonly seizing the spoils of war. Just as the man's hand reached inside the woman's clothes, an unpleasant knock sounded at the door.
The man frowned subconsciously and stopped what he was doing. The woman in his arms was breathing heavily, her face was flushed, and her eyes were half dazed and half lustful. She was clearly not in a rational state.
Frustrated, the man tidied his clothes and casually nudged the woman sitting on his lap. Reluctantly, she stood up and playfully pinched his chest.
The man glanced at her, then said loudly:
"Please come in"
As soon as the words were spoken, the person pushed open the door and entered. It was a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a calm and intelligent-looking man dressed in a silver-gray suit. He didn't even glance at the woman beside him, but instead respectfully addressed the man sitting in the chair:
"President, the second young master suddenly sent a message saying he wants to buy all the unsold old houses. So, we need your signature to allocate funds to the finance department."
The young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses is Zheng Xiaofeng, Bai Taoshi's agent and general manager of the Bai Group. The fact that he personally came to bother the man clearly means that Bai Taoshi has caused some trouble again.
Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but frown and questioned:
"What is he planning to do for his Yaoyao this time? Hmm? Didn't the Ye family sign several contracts worth hundreds of millions? Why is he suddenly buying things again?"
