Chapter 88 Cultivation

Meanwhile, in Ming City, Ye Shengge's small actions had stirred up minor ripples, especially for Ye Huailin. Wan Hui had already called him. He was furious at Wan Qiong for being stupid, letting something happen while taking care of a child. He was even more disgusted by Wan Qiong's shamelessness, rushing into a man's bed in her desperation. The thought made him feel sick.

Ye Huailin thought about how Ye Huaijin had recently been making smooth progress at work as if he had received some great help, and if this continued, he would soon be promoted again. This was something he absolutely could not see, and he could not tolerate his younger brother, Ye Huaijin, constantly overshadowing him. Now, even their elderly father was wavering in his decision for the head of the family.

As Ye Huailin was lost in thought, there was a knock on the study door.

"Come in."

"Uncle, I'm here. Everyone is downstairs eating fruit, why aren't you coming down?"

A small head peeked in from the doorway. Ye Huailin smiled upon seeing it.

"Yage, come in and keep your uncle company for a chat."

Ye Yage loved visiting her uncle's house when she had nothing to do. She enjoyed the abundance of good food there, unlike her parents who were stingy. They were unwilling to buy much, preferring to use their money to help their comrades, which resulted in her living a life worse than children from worker families, despite being a young lady of means.

Ye Huailin looked at the well-behaved girl sitting before him and suddenly realized how quickly time had passed. Fifteen years had flown by in the blink of an eye.

"What have you been busy with lately, Yage?"

Mentioning this, Ye Yage became annoyed and pouted.

"What else can I be busy with? There's no one at home daily, and no one supervises my meals when I'm at school. I've eaten so much cafeteria food at school that I'm almost sick of it. There's not even a hint of meat."

Ye Huailin smiled helplessly and took out three "Da Tuanjie" bills from his drawer, placing them on the table.

"Since you haven't been eating well, your uncle will subsidize you. Your parents are something else, not even taking care of your meals."

Ye Yage happily took the money. She had to make sure her stingy aunt didn't see it.

"Uncle cares about me the most, even more than my parents."

A subtle glint flickered in Ye Huailin's eyes. He quickly forced himself to display a hint of indulgence.

"What has your father been busy with recently? I haven't seen him visit your grandparents. They miss your father dearly."

Ye Yage was actually a very perceptive girl. She knew very well that her grandparents disliked her father, and especially her mother, simply because her mother's family background was stronger than the Ye family's. Although she didn't understand why her uncle was saying something contrary to his feelings, she knew not to say too much.

"I can't even see my parents daily. Who knows what they're busy with."

Ye Huailin also realized he had spoken unnecessarily, but then he thought that this girl had grown up and could be cultivated properly.

"Yage, your father is just too busy. That's precisely why your grandparents have opinions about him. Even if I want to help him, I don't know how. With your grandparents getting older, we can't just watch them continue like this."

Ye Yage didn't quite understand what her uncle meant, but she sensed there was more to his words.

"Does Uncle want me to do something?"

"Hahaha, what can a little girl like you do? I just want to share some of the burden for your father, so he doesn't neglect his family while focusing solely on work."

Ye Yage didn't overthink it, especially since her uncle had always been so good to her. She felt a genuine closeness and trust towards him.

"Yes, I will persuade Dad. Our family doesn't feel like a family anymore; it's like a temporary lodging."

"From now on, if your father needs any help, you secretly tell your uncle. I will help him privately, and then he'll have more time to manage your family. But you mustn't reveal my involvement, as your father is very proud and wouldn't accept my help."
