NOVEL NEXT Chapter 160 Can this also be possible?
"No wonder."
Having heard the latter part of Old Li's words, Wang Ye knew what was going on.
Then, his eyes lit up, "That means, on Zhang Mengchuang's side, there should also be information about my father. I can ask him and see if I can find some information about my father!"
"It won't work."
Old Li shook his head, "At that time, the reason your father helped Zhang Mengchuang was due to a misunderstanding, and after that, there wasn't much contact between your father and Zhang Mengchuang."
"Your father didn't have too much contact with Zhang Mengchuang."
"Alright then."
Wang Ye, hearing what Old Li said, felt the hope in his eyes dim a little.
Wang Ye just wanted to find clues about the current situation of the Wang family as soon as possible.
Even though eighteen years had passed and it was very likely that something had happened to his parents by now, Wang Ye never thought too deeply about it, simply assuming that his parents might be hiding somewhere.
"The words I just said, you might want to think about them," continued Old Li, addressing Wang Ye, "while you are always being cautious of others, you should also give yourself the strength to trust in them."
"Hmm."
Wang Ye began to ponder seriously.
Ever since he came down from the mountain, aside from Fang Feifei, basically everyone else Wang Ye met gave him a taste of what human nature is.
Of course, that didn't include his several senior martial sisters.
Even though Tan Long and Fang Cunshan had helped him, the relationship was purely one of mutual benefit.
It couldn't be considered genuine help.
In such circumstances, Wang Ye grew increasingly cautious, holding a vigilant heart towards everyone who approached him.
But today, the matter between Zhang Mengchuang and Old Li made Wang Ye realize something.
Indeed, as Old Li had said, while being cautious of others, he should also reserve some trust for those who are worthy of it.
"Moreover..."
Old Li went on, "Those two young ladies, one has been with you handling matters all along, and the other came rushing here the moment she knew you were in trouble."
"They have no obligation to do so, but they did it anyway."
Old Li didn't say much more.
But his meaning was clear.
He was suggesting that Wang Ye should go and placate them a bit.
"I understand."
Wang Ye, clearly understanding Old Li's intent, nodded slightly. Then he opened the door, said a few words to Old Li, and walked out of the room.
Once out of the room, Wang Ye began to feel conflicted.
Which one should he placate first?
And how should he go about placating them?
After all, women can be a rather troublesome species.
Having to placate two women at the same time...
The mere thought of it gave Wang Ye a headache.
Forget it.
Wang Ye glanced at the room where Su Wanqing was.
Whichever is closer, that's who he'll placate first.
With that thought, Wang Ye approached Su Wanqing's room and knocked on the door.
"What is it?" came Su Wanqing's voice from inside.
"I was a bit rude to you just now, so I've come to apologize," Wang Ye said.
Unbeknownst to him, upon hearing the sound of Wang Ye knocking on the door, Fang Feifei in the room next door immediately threw the pillow she was holding onto the ground in a huff.
Su Wanqing, inside her room, upon hearing Wang Ye's words, knew that Wang Ye had come to her first.
A smile appeared on her face.
She even stuck out her tongue in the direction of Fang Feifei's room.
Then, she proceeded to open the door for Wang Ye.
But after she opened the door for Wang Ye, Su Wanqing's expression changed to a feigned anger, and she asked knowingly, "Apologize for what?"
"You didn't do anything wrong, why should you apologize to me?"
"..."
In an instant, Wang Ye found himself in a dilemma.
Right.
He hadn't done anything wrong.
Why should he apologize to Su Wanqing?
But Wang Ye knew if he dared to say that, let alone soothing Su Wanqing, she would definitely slam the door shut in his face, with even more anger.
So, after giving the matter some thought, Wang Ye finally opened his mouth and said, "You're an idiot."
"???"
Three question marks visibly popped above Su Wanqing's head.
Only then did Wang Ye continue, "Okay, I was wrong, can I apologize to you now?"
"Pfft!"
Wang Ye's blunt statement unexpectedly made Su Wanqing burst into laughter upon hearing him speak like that.
She hadn't expected Wang Ye to have such a humorous side.
Seeing Su Wanqing laugh, Wang Ye was utterly baffled.
Damn.
It can work like this?
Pleasing a girl is such a simple task?
Learned and noted!
Since Su Wanqing was laughing, what followed became much simpler.
Soon, Wang Ye managed to cheer her up and escorted Su Wanqing into her room.
After sending Su Wanqing into her room, Wang Ye glanced at Fang Feifei next door.
Next, he should try to appease Fang Feifei.
Recalling how he had brought Su Wanqing out and cheered her up in less than five minutes, Wang Ye felt that pleasing a girl was indeed a simple task.
Therefore, Wang Ye confidently knocked on Fang Feifei's door.
No sooner had Wang Ye knocked on the door than Fang Feifei opened it, grabbed his tie, and yanked him into the room, slamming the door shut.
Immediately, she asked Wang Ye, "What do you want?"
"To apologize."
Wang Ye planned to replicate the act he'd just performed with Su Wanqing.
"Apologize?"
Hearing Wang Ye's words, Fang Feifei scoffed coldly, "Just finished apologizing to Su Wanqing, and now you come to apologize to me? Am I an afterthought?"
Fang Feifei knew that Wang Ye certainly didn't think that way.
But at that moment, she just wanted to say those words.
"..."
Upon hearing Fang Feifei's remark, Wang Ye didn't know how to respond for a while.
This was different from the situation with Su Wanqing.
What should he say next?
Wang Ye felt if he had to learn something new, it would definitely be easy for him, but pleasing a girl... why was it so difficult?
Wang Ye thought for nearly a minute, unable to come up with a single word.
How to answer Fang Feifei's question.
Ultimately, he could only tell the truth, "Because her room was closer, so I went there first."
"Hm."
On hearing the truth that she already knew from Wang Ye's own mouth, a smug expression appeared on Fang Feifei's face, "So, between the two of us, she's not more important to you, right?"
Ah, this...
Wang Ye was troubled.
How should he answer that?
Pleasing a woman... this is way too hard!
