Part 1 - The Double / Marriage of the Di Daughter

☆ Chapter 107 Homecoming

"I want to go to Tongxiang."

Ye Mingyu was stunned.

Jiang Li's eyes were firm. She had thought about it. No matter what, she couldn't bear to rescue her father a moment later after knowing that he was suffering in prison. And now she was in the Ye family. She was a living person. She couldn't disappear for no reason. She had to tell the Ye family. Otherwise, Old Madam Ye would be worried.

It was too much of a stretch to find a perfect reason. As the second Miss Jiang, this should be her ‘first time’ to come to Xiangyang, not to mention Tongxiang. Tongxiang is just a strange place for her, and she has never even heard of it, not to mention any relatives and friends there. No matter how she looked at it, the lie is full of holes.

Sure enough, Ye Mingyu heard it and immediately asked curiously: "What are you going to Tongxiang for?"

"To be honest with you, uncle, this is a long story. I got an old friend to ask me to help her get rid of her worries. She has a sweetheart in Tongxiang. Knowing that I came to Xiangyang this time, she asked me to help her bring a message. The Ye family had something to solve a few days ago, so I forgot about it. Now the matter is probably settled. Thinking of it, I plan to go to Tongxiang to find the sweetheart of my old friend."

After saying this, Jiang Li also felt embarrassed. She had never told such a lame lie in her life, but she really couldn't think of any other good ideas.

Ye Mingyu looked at Jiang Li for a while, then sighed and said, "Ah Li, if you have something to hide, just don't say it. Why rack your brains to find such an excuse? Even I can hear it."

Jiang Li's cheeks were slightly red. Although Ye Mingyu acted roughly, he was not a fool. If he was really slow and stupid, how could he survive in the fighting world until now? He would have been tripped by someone and fell down without knowing where he could not get up.

"Ah Li, I know sometimes it's hard to tell others, even relatives, it's okay, I won't force you to tell them. I'm different from my elder and second brothers. We are people in the world, we won't force others to do things. When you want to say it, you will say it naturally. If you can't say it, there must be a reason. Although I don't know what you are doing in Tongxiang, I think you are a girl with your own ideas and you won't do anything reckless."

Ye Mingyu paused and said, "But your reason just now will never work in front of my elder and second brothers. Especially my second brother, he is no less cunning than you, you don't even convinced me, what can you do to fool him."

Ye Mingyu was right, Ye Minghui and Ye Mingxuan of the Ye family, perhaps because of their business, were not easily deceived.

Jiang Li sighed slightly in her heart.

She really didn't want to deceive others, but some things were really unspeakable.

Seeing Jiang Li in a dilemma, Ye Mingyu suddenly patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm your uncle, of course I won't sit idly by and watch your affairs. Leave this matter to me, you go to Tongxiang, I'll find a way to convince mother and brothers, you just go with me!"

"Go with you?" Jiang Li was surprised.

"Of course! You are a little girl, going to a strange place alone, even if you are brave, our family will not be at ease! Otherwise, you choose between the eldest brother, the second brother and me, who will accompany you!"

Jiang Li: "..." 

If she really chooses, she really can only go with Ye Mingyu. Ye Mingxuan and Ye Minghui are too smart, and it is inevitable that they will suspect the truth. Ye Mingyu is very rough and doesn't like to pry into other people's thoughts. Besides... she really doesn't know what kind of dangers she will encounter this time. It is better to have Ye Mingyu by her side than to be alone.
