Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend

"Hey, let me tell you something, guys. The Li Group has been working hard to speed up the process and has helped me produce goods for two more warehouses. Tonight, they are rushing to load the goods. From the looks of it, we should be able to complete that batch within the deadline." Ye Daqiao had just received the news and wanted to share this good news with his family.

After all, there was hope for the company, and his hard work still had a chance of being salvaged.

"Dad, once it's done, make sure to thank him properly."

"Of course, Li Kuo, that kid, is so young but already so capable. If he weren't already married, I would have wanted to introduce him to you, haha..."

"No, I'm not talking about Li Kuo, but about Xiaofan. The person you should be thanking is him."

"Xiaofan? Ye Xiaofan? Lao San's son?" Ye Daqiao suddenly turned his head and looked at Ye Weiwei curiously.

Then Ye Shaolong and Liu Yun also walked over to Ye Weiwei's side, and the three of them almost simultaneously nodded at Ye Daqiao.

"Hey, what... what's going on with you all?" Ye Daqiao was a bit slow to react.

"It's nothing. Before, both Shaolong and I made mistakes, and Dad, you made mistakes too. Fame and fortune aren't that important. What's important is that the family can live happily together, as a family. I've always been against this kid from the countryside, felt uncomfortable seeing him, and did many excessive things to him. I admit my faults and I'm willing to change. But Dad, you were wrong not to lend money to Uncle San, right?"

"No, wait, what's gotten into you all?" Ye Daqiao looked at the three of them in confusion.

"Shaolong got beaten up; it was Xiaofan who helped him resolve it. You already know that. And earlier tonight, he saved me again. If it weren't for him, I might have made a huge mistake." Ye Weiwei didn't explain further, but she understood herself.

Regarding the previous incident with Huang Shanshan, he deliberately let both Shaolong and me off, not out of hypocrisy or pretense, but because he genuinely did not care to dwell on these things. He treasures emotions and the unbreakable blood relationship. Now, with his selfless help, Ye Weiwei also understood why Shaolong suddenly changed during this time.

"This is the bracelet Xiaofan gave me, worth over twenty million on the market. I went out at noon today to find him, intending to return it to him. After all, when the company was in trouble before, I thought if it's truly this valuable, I could use it to support the company. But unexpectedly, the Li Group stepped in to help solve the issue."

Liu Yun's words surprised the siblings once again. It turned out Xiaofan had always cared about this family's bond, and right from the start, their mother never treated him as an outsider, which was why he gave her such an expensive gift.

"Hey, but what does he have to do with the company's situation?" Ye Daqiao asked curiously.

"Dad, didn't you meet Li Kuo before? Why do you think he would help a small company like ours that means nothing to him?"

"Could it be Xiaofan?"

"Don't you get it yet? Actually, Li Kuo and Xiaofan have always been good friends. If it weren't for Xiaofan asking Li Kuo, how could he have helped you? Didn't you check? Mobilizing ten or so production lines all at once, their company would have to pause a lot of industrial operations, and the costs of going back and forth are no less than thirty million. How much could he profit by helping you? You're nearly bankrupt now, just for the IOU on the contract?" Liu Yun explained calmly.

"I, is this... all true?" Ye Daqiao looked at the three of them as if waking from a dream. He once thought he was the most accomplished and respectable of the three brothers, but now, that belief was instantly shattered.

"Dad..."

"Oh, this time, I've lost face for the Ye Family, and on our own family, no less." Ye Daqiao sighed, looking helpless.

"I think Second Brother wouldn't hold this against us. If he did, he wouldn't have silently helped us without ever blaming us."

"Actually, in the end, I still would have lent money to your Uncle San. It's just that when I called him before, he suddenly said he didn't need it anymore, that he'd already raised the funds. Thinking back now, I really slapped myself hard in the face. How will I face Lao San and them in the future?" Ye Daqiao was full of regret. To think he... Oh, what's the use of sighing?

"Find a time, and invite Xiaofan over for dinner. This time, let the family truly dine together." Liu Yun's gentle demeanor was always the most comforting.

"Alright, let's do that." It had to be faced. The children were brave enough to admit their mistakes, so as a father, an uncle, what's so hard about apologizing to a junior?

'Ring ring.' Just then, Ye Weiwei's phone rang.

"Hello, who is it?"

"It's... M-Miss Ye... I-I am Han Shengjun."

"Hmm? Hold on a moment. Dad, I'll head back to my room first. Take your time with your midnight snack." Ye Weiwei covered her phone and quickly dashed up the stairs.

"Hey, what kind of secretive call is that?" Liu Yun asked curiously.

"Hey, Mom, Sis is in a relationship now. Haha, the guy's a buddy of Xiaofan, tall and sturdy..."

"Really? When will he come over for us to meet him?" Liu Yun asked, slightly surprised.

"Heh heh, that depends on whether Sis will let him come over. I'm heading back to my room now; good night."

This event can be considered a significant turning point for Ye Daqiao's family—a blessing in disguise, helping them realize what's more valuable than fame and fortune.

"Did you get home?"

"Yeah."

"I just wanted to check in; as long as you're back home."

"Hey, don't hang up. Are you going to just say those two sentences?"

"There's a bit more I want to say."

"Go ahead."

"I just got the news that in five days, I need to return to the military. So..."

"Will you be able to call from the military?"

"Yes, will you call me when you return to the military?"

"I will. Definitely."

"Silly."

"I... uh, Miss Ye."

"Yeah?"

"I have something else to ask you."

"Hmm?"

"They said that tonight, in the race, if the girl sitting in the passenger seat and the driver win, there would be some sort of contract. They wouldn't tell me what it is and told me to ask you... So, what do you think..."

"I..." Hearing this, Ye Weiwei blushed, unsure how to respond.

Evidently, she knew what that so-called contract meant. But Xiaofan's appearance today was too strange; she jumped into Han Shengjun's passenger seat without thinking much, and now he's calling to ask.

"I don't know what it means either, I need to sleep. Bye..."

"Oh, b-bye."

"Doot doot doot doot," she hung up the phone. Ye Weiwei put the phone down, looked at the slowly dimming screen again, and softly murmured, "Silly."
