Free Web NovelChapter 1315: Chapter 1304: Siblings
Liang Jin thought that Yu Zhijing, just a child with a mobile phone, would simply watch videos or play games and shouldn’t cause any trouble, so she bought a phone for her and even got an anonymous card. She couldn’t avoid it because Yu Zhijing kept making a fuss.
Yu Shangnan didn’t pay much attention after knowing about it, his thoughts were similar to Liang Jin’s. However, at work, he was always resolute about confiscating phones, but he didn’t know that in daily life, Yu Zhijing had already unknowingly recorded how they treated her, and after each recording, she would immediately send it to Ye Qiu and then delete it right away.
So although Liang Jin and Yu Shangnan would occasionally check Yu Zhijing’s phone, they never found anything wrong, as generally, people wouldn’t go out of their way to check a child’s phone delete history.
The days passed one by one, and all three parties gradually got back on track. The relationship between the four siblings didn’t become distant due to separation. In fact, after Duan Yunquan gradually established his position in the Duan Family, he was able to find time to visit Ye Cheng and Ye Qiu. Time flew by, and soon it was Ye Qiu’s adulthood.
Following Ye Cheng and Duan Yunquan, she was the third among the four siblings to be successfully admitted to University A. So they prepared to take this opportunity to reunite, and the other three had no issues; the main concern was the youngest sister, Yu Zhijing.
Even though she’s already sixteen this year and her biological parents can no longer control many things, her economic contract is still with the agency, and she is usually surrounded by bodyguards, agents, and assistants, making it quite troublesome to slip away.
"I have a good idea, I just don’t know if Second Brother would be willing to cooperate?" she mischievously said in the siblings group chat.
"How to cooperate?" Duan Yunquan quickly replied.
"Just say I’m meeting my boyfriend. If they know my boyfriend is the Third Young Master of the Duan Family, they’d be crazy to stop me, they’d desperately want to send me off personally." She said with a hint of sarcasm.
"No way." Ye Cheng immediately rejected the suggestion, "You’re a public figure and you’re still underage. Revealing dating news would harm you more than help."
"Big Brother is right; trolls on the internet are relentless, we can’t take risks." Duan Yunquan also hurriedly advised, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead. Little Sister was putting him in a tough spot; if he agreed, wouldn’t Big Brother and Third Sister tear him apart.
Even though he is now someone people have to respectfully call Third Young Master and is helping Duan Yunhai manage a lot of the Duan Family business, which indeed makes him seem powerful, in front of Big Brother Ye Cheng and Third Sister Ye Qiu, he just inexplicably comes off as lesser.
Not for any other reason, just because Big Brother and Third Sister have established their own careers without relying on anyone, which deserves his admiration.
And Big Brother and Third Sister are very protective of Little Sister; whoever bullies her is going against them. Over the years, even though Little Sister’s biological parents have gradually lost popularity, Little Sister has been rising steadily, which shows these two are not to be trifled with.
"Why don’t we do it as usual, after the announcement, we help Little Sister lose her assistant and bodyguards." Duan Yunquan suggested.
"Not going to work." Yu Zhijing said angrily, "After last time, my agent added another assistant and two more bodyguards, with orders to follow me wherever I go. This time, it won’t be as easy as before."
"It’s not just that, Little Sister’s recent series exploded in popularity, and now fans are going crazy. If some fan or paparazzi spots her, it could cause quite a bit of trouble later." Ye Qiu frowned and said.
"So what should we do? Cancel this meeting?"
"No way, Big Brother is formally introducing his girlfriend to us for the first time, I can’t miss it. What if future Sister-In-Law thinks I’m looking down on her?" Yu Zhijing said excitedly.
Ye Cheng laughed and explained, "Shishi is not like that; she’ll understand."
Ye Qiu felt the sweetness in Ye Cheng’s tone and smiled faintly. Big Brother finally wouldn’t have to let down future Sister-In-Law in this lifetime. Although Big Brother hasn’t achieved much in his career, he is considered promising at a young age. He’s only a junior in university but has already founded his company, and he has bought a house and a car in this city. At least he won’t let future Sister-In-Law endure hardships like in the past life.
"But I still want to meet future Sister-In-Law." Yu Zhijing was reluctant to miss it.
"I have another idea." Ye Qiu then spoke up.
Yu Zhijing immediately became excited because her Third Sister had never disappointed her.
Seeing the other three on the group video call looking at her, she smiled slightly, "Little Sister can openly meet with us, just need to delay for a while."
Without going around the subject, she continued, "The new shop I’m opening in City A is about to open, and then I can invite Little Sister to make an appearance. I, as the boss, invite the big star for a meal, and if you show that you like my cakes, your agent can’t refuse it for face, can they?"
"If they dare to refuse, I won’t even have this little authority?" Yu Zhijing raised her eyebrows and agreed to the plan.
"That’s a good idea." Ye Cheng and Duan Yunquan also nodded, expressing no objections.
At this moment, Ye Cheng asked Ye Qiu privately, "When are you coming to register? I’ll pick you up."
"The day after tomorrow, but Big Brother, I suggest you bring Sister-In-Law along."
"Why?" The straightforward brother was puzzled.
"Of course, to avoid future Sister-In-Law misunderstanding!" Yu Zhijing explained, "Think about it, you and Third Sister have no blood relation, though we have a clear conscience with the purest sibling relationship, outsiders don’t know that. Even if Sister-In-Law believes in your character, what if outsiders gossip?"
Ye Cheng coldly snorted, "Those people are too nosy."
Duan Yunquan laughed, "Why, because you’re a prominent figure at University A?"
"As if you aren’t one too."
The four siblings laughed in unison, a pure familial love flowed among the four.
Ye Qiu and Yu Zhijing’s worries were not unfounded. When Lee Shishi was chatting with her roommate about Ye Cheng going to pick up his sister, her friend expressed confusion.
"Isn’t Ye Cheng an orphan? Where did the sister come from?"
"A sister from the orphanage they grew up in, she also got into University A." Lee Shishi explained with a smile.
"But they’re in college, what’s there to pick up? You better be careful, sisters like that are the most dangerous, especially now that Ye Cheng is doing so well."
"You’re really overthinking it." Lee Shishi said, but felt a bit apprehensive inside. After all, in both TV and novels, sisters without blood relation usually aren’t easy to deal with, and they grew up together, possibly childhood friends!
