Chapter 2020 - Other Plans

Ye Ying had been far away in France. Ye Zhifan didn’t know what she did there and what she experienced. Moreover, Ye Ying’s performance tonight was outstanding. Hence, Ye Zhifan didn’t notice his daughter’s panic.

On the contrary, because Ye Ying had gone abroad and he controlled her living expenses during that period, he believed her explanation.

“You don’t have to go back to France anymore. If there’s anything you need, ask your classmates to pack them up and send them back to the country. I’ll pay the rent for you.” Now that his daughter was confirmed to be joining the military, there was no need for him to give her an allowance.

Ye Ying’s heart was beating like a drum. When she saw that he didn’t ask further, her expression slowly returned to normal. “Dad, thank you.” The attendant drove the car over. Ye Ying, who had a guilty conscience, quickly said, “Dad, the car is here. You drank a lot of wine. I’ll drive.”

“You’re driving?” Ye Zhifan burped in surprise. “When did you learn how to drive? Why don’t I know about it?”

Ye Ying’s expression changed. She took the car keys from the valet and signaled him to help Ye Zhifan into the car. “I learned it overseas. All my classmates know how to drive, while I was the only one who didn’t. I thought that I would have to learn it in the future anyway, so I decided to get an international driver’s license. Unfortunately, the international driver’s license can’t be used in our country. We can only use it overseas.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ye Zhifan observed that she was very skilled, so he let her be.

It was not bad for a girl to know how to drive. It would be useful to her in the future.

It seemed that his daughter had matured a lot after studying abroad. Otherwise, her performance today would not have been like this.

Ye Ying’s palms were sweating. She looked at Ye Zhifan through the rearview mirror. He was resting with his eyes closed. She heaved a sigh of relief and drove the car out of the restaurant.

Before she returned to the country, she had never thought that she would not be going back to France. As a result, there were many things that had yet to be settled in France.

No, no. Since she was going to join the military, she had to settle the matters there properly. She couldn’t let any rumors spread back to China.

Clenching the steering wheel tightly, Ye Ying bit her lower lip and sped into the night as if she had made a decision.

Madam Li, who had returned to the hotel, said to Staff Officer Du, “Old Du, what do you think of Director Ye’s daughter? I’ve been paying attention to her for a long time tonight. Although she’s not very dignified, she’s obedient and can be trained.”

Staff Officer Du, who was unbuttoning his military uniform, didn’t think there was another meaning to her words. He smiled and said, “She’s from a small family. She’s not as dignified as a lady from a prestigious family. She’s just an obedient girl.”

“Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” Madam Li glanced at her husband who didn’t seem to care about anything and thought of her youngest son. “Our son doesn’t want to join the army. He only wants to be in politics with your elder brother. He can’t have any problems in politics. He must have the capable Yue family to help him out and a good wife.

“I’ve seen Director Ye’s resume. He’s an honest official, and his achievements have been outstanding. He only has one daughter. If you say that we want to give him some useful information, he’ll definitely be happy.”

Staff Officer Du finally understood what was going on. He frowned and muttered to himself for a while. Then, he shook his head and said, “I still have to properly look into this. I feel that Ye Zhifan is a scheming person. If he hadn’t saved Kaiwei, I wouldn’t have interacted with him.

“As for his daughter, think it through again. With our family, we don’t have to worry about not being able to find a good daughter-in-law. Having the daughter of a director be our daughter-in-law is not good enough. Back then, you suffered so much when you married me. Thinking about it now, I feel like I’ve let you down.”
