Chapter 7: Ye Family — Hello.

♕

The limousine drove through a desolate, open mountain range before finally stopping in front of a villa.

The chauffeur opened the car door for them. Sun Qian was still carrying Ye Zhen Zhen's bags as she helped her exit the limousine. "Zhen Zhen, this is our Ye Family's Mansion. You grew up here as a child. Do you have any impressions?"

The entire time she spoke, she observed Ye Zhen Zhen's expressions, as if she could read something from her face. Helpless, Ye Zhen Zhen merely turned to face this imposing villa. She shook her head. "No. "

Du. Du.  The vehicle behind them honked their horn. Ye Zhen Zhen turned her head around and caught sight of Qin Kong driving a sports car through the villa garden towards them.

Sun Qian ignored Qin Kong, walking directly up to the door and pressing the doorbell. Ye Zhen Zhen followed her without batting an eyelid. From what she had seen during her time at the hospital, Sun Qian and Qin Kong did not like looking at each other.

Qin Kong parked his car at the doorway and ran to Ye Zhen Zhen's side, still smiling at her. Ye Zhen Zhen studied his smiling appearance until the servants inside opened the door.  A forty to fifty year old housekeeper opened the door. When she saw Ye Zhen Zhen, her tranquil eyes distinctly rippled. "Miss. "

Her respectful address caused Ye Zhen Zhen to smile somewhat awkwardly at her. "Hello. "

Sun Qian held Ye Zhen Zhen close to her and pulled her inside the villa. "This is housekeeper Zhou. She's been cleaning the Ye Mansion for 25 years. " Housekeeper Zhou heard her words and glanced at their retreating figures before closing the door behind her.

In the drawing room, a man heard the sound of the door and put down the newspaper in his hand as he stood up. Qin Kong chattered continuously in Ye Zhen Zhen's ear as she looked around her. When they entered the drawing room, she caught sight of a man attired in an ash-gray suit standing in front of the sofa.

"Kang Ping, I brought Zhen Zhen back. " Sun Qian smiled at the man before handing the bag she carried over to housekeeper Zhou. "Help Zhen Zhen take her things back to her room. "

"Understood. " Housekeeper Zhou took the bag from Sun Qian's hands and headed upstairs to the second floor. Ye Zhen Zhen took the opportunity to examine the stairs that led to the second floor. She knitted her brows and absently followed the housekeeper.

"Zhen Zhen!" Kang Ping called out from behind her. He walked up to Ye Zhen Zhen's side and blocked her way. "Do you remember uncle?"

Ye Zhen Zhen  looked at him closely before shaking her head. "I don't remember. "

Ye Kang Ping didn't say anything, only staring blankly at her. Ye Zhen Zhen's brows furrowed together tightly. That day when she had just woken up, Zuo Yi had also been watching her with this kind of gaze.

"Uncle. "

Ye Zhen Zhen's voice wasn't very loud, but it sounded resounding and powerful. Ye Kang Ping finally removed his gaze. He smiled at her and said, "That's okay. Inevitably, you'll remember one day. Oh, that's right. Your room is on the second floor. Let your aunt take you there. "

"No need, I can get there fine by myself. " Ye Zhen Zhen nodded toward him and followed housekeeper Zhou upstairs. Qin Kong grabbed her wrist and nervously looked at her. "Wait a minute! I'll go up first and survey the surroundings, okay? What if someone is upstairs lying in wait for you?"

Ye Zhen Zhen stared at him, before genuinely and sincerely asking, "If someone is really lying in wait upstairs, what could you do if you went up?"
