Bailian's stand-in has collapsed [Transmigration Book]

"...Okay." Mrs. Ye finally continued, "It doesn't matter."

On this basis, they continued the exchange.

Mainly Mrs. Ye is asking, Ye Huaishuang is answering, and occasionally I think of something that needs to be told to my parents, and I will add it later.

Father Ye was in a state of mind almost the whole time.

Probably too shocked,? There is no way to react.

One dinner was tasteless, Father Ye swallowed the last mouthful with a bitter face.

Mrs. Ye stepped on her husband's foot across the table, and while her son was eating with his head down, she signaled him to put away the expression on his face.

When Ye Huaishuang raised his head again, Father Ye subconsciously smiled.

It's just how it looks and how it's distorted.

Arriving home after dinner, Ye Linyun, who was still forced to "close the door and ponder over mistakes" at home, was sitting in the living room watching TV, looking sluggish as if he hadn't slept for days and nights.

The latest idol drama is being played on TV, and the male and female protagonists embrace each other tightly, even shedding tears.

However, because the voice was not turned on, those exaggerated facial expressions became funny.

Ye Linyun twitched the corner of his mouth expressionlessly, he couldn't even say he was "smiling".

He didn't even turn his head when he heard the sound of the door opening.

It wasn't until several people passed by him that he raised his eyelids and called out "Mom and Dad" feebly.

Deliberately skipped Ye Huaishuang.

The moment he saw the youngest son, Father Ye's expression suddenly became subtle again.

He originally wanted to reprimand him a few times, but for some reason he swallowed it back.

In the end, he just frowned to remind Ye Linyun to go to bed early.

Ye Linyun lazily replied, got up and went upstairs to his room.

"Bang" sound.

He closed the door hard.

Father Ye turned his head and looked at Ye Huaishuang again, he hesitated to speak.

Mrs. Ye signaled him to go back to the room first, then simply pulled Ye Huaishuang and turned around to go out.

"Huishuang,? Let's go out for a walk with Mom."

Ye Huaishuang nodded.

The night wind in summer is also warm. The head-on blowing heat makes people dizzy, and a lot of irritability will arise for no reason.

Only next to the fountain is slightly cooler.

Mrs. Ye held her eldest son's arm, feeling his body tense unconsciously, sighed helplessly, and finally brought the topic back from the night scene to what was said at night.

"Your dad...just didn't calm down for a while, please give you some more time."

Mrs. Ye then assured: "But Mom supports you. As long as you like it, whether it's a man or a woman, no matter who you've been in love with, as long as it's your choice, Mom will bless you."

Ye Huaishuang said, "Thank you, Mom."

A moderate thank you, maybe really grateful, but not very touched or grateful.

I just want to thank my mother for her understanding.

"Linyun seems to have quarreled with Xiao Qi recently. Don't worry about being in a bad mood." Mrs. Ye hesitated for a moment, then tentatively suggested, "Why don't you tell him about you and Jianqiu?"

Ye Huaishuang shook his head: "No need, this matter has nothing to do with him, so there is no need to explain it to him."

Mrs. Ye remembered that he had categorically separated the relationship before, and realized that he was serious and resolute on this point.

There is no need to persuade this question any more.

So Madam Ye changed the subject: "You can bring him back sometime to meet him. It doesn't matter if you don't want to meet Lin Yun. We will make an appointment at a restaurant or other places in private, and choose what you like."

Ye Huaishuang didn't nod, but said in a serious tone, "Wait until you are all ready."

She should have said "yes".

But I didn't say it for a while.

Madam Ye didn't know how to answer the conversation.

Compared with her husband and eldest son, Mrs. Ye's personality can be regarded as lively, and she is also one of the rare people who can often joke with Ye Huaishuang.

But it's just superficial.

Only at such moments can she realize more deeply the invisible restraint in her attitude.

four months.

Madam Ye was thinking about these delicate numbers in her heart.

In April, Ye Huaishuang was not always busy, and would often go home for dinner, but he never mentioned his partner once.For ordinary people, this may be because the conversation is not serious enough, and the relationship is not deep enough to consider the future. Naturally, there is no need to rush to introduce it to the parents.

But Ye Huaishuang did not take such tentative steps.

In fact, on the contrary, he believed that his family was not ready to face a lover.

Mrs. Ye knew him well, and she easily found out the clue after going back in time.

Four months ago, when the family was at its most tense because of Lin Jianqiu's incident, Ye Linyun was angry and might do something irrational.

During those one or two months, the family tacitly adopted a cold treatment.

However, Father Ye and Ye Huaishuang's attitudes are very firm. If Ye Linyun doesn't really admit his mistake, then don't try to turn this matter over easily.

Ye Linyun would pretend to be pitiful at first, pretending to compromise and bow his head to admit his mistake, but later found that this trick was useless.

——When he hates someone, he almost expresses all those contemptuous emotions on his expression.

Later, Ye Linyun realized that pretense was useless, and there seemed to be some minor conflicts with Qi Yueze, but recently he has developed more and more in the direction of self-destruction.

Or it could just be the calm before the storm.

During this period of time, the family was relatively peaceful, but Ye Huaishuang became busy again.

After four months, why did you tell them at this time?

Because Ye Huaishuang has been busy recently.

Madam Ye answered silently in her heart.

This means that he has enough time to deal with his family's reaction to Lin Jianqiu.

In other words, Ye Huaishuang was worried about his family's troubles to find Lin Jianqiu.

Not just from Ye Linyun.

Also other family members.

Even his parents are not trusted by him.

He was protecting Lin Jianqiu.

If it was an anecdote from someone else's family, Mrs. Ye might jokingly say "romantic" and "appropriate", but put it on her own child...

For a moment she felt pain.

Even the relatives who are connected by blood cannot make Ye Huaishuang unreservedly believe that vigilance and vigilance that he may not even be aware of are instinctively hidden.

The mother noticed it easily.

But there was nothing she could do.

A cold personality is not developed overnight, and parents have to bear a lot of responsibility for it.

When he was young, he was ignored intentionally or unintentionally because he was too "sensible", and the feeling of insecurity accumulated day by day. He gradually got used to forbearance and concession, and also became accustomed to solving problems by himself.

By the time his parents realized it, he had already become that cold and alienated look towards his family.

It's not a bad thing in terms of results.

Ye Huaishuang himself may not care about those past events at all, and he will not feel any resentment towards his family because of this - including towards Ye Linyun.

That instead made him independent and dependable.

Only parents can't help but reflect from time to time after they vaguely realize something.

Even the elder son's delay in finding a partner, they have also attributed it to this.

Ye Huaishuang doesn't like to talk nonsense with others, and he doesn't show his weak side. It's not easy for people to notice his approachability under his cold appearance.

He didn't like to fight, and it just so happened that the fate was a little shallow, so none of them fell into his hands.

until now.

After finally meeting the right person, it's like an innocent child trying to protect the weak little flame with his body, wishing to protect the surrounding airtight.

Facing the family, he erected all his spines like a hedgehog.

Yet he himself seemed unaware of it.

It looks a little funny.

Mrs. Ye couldn't help laughing, hiding the sourness in her heart, she was more happy.

Ye Huaishuang didn't know what his mother was laughing at, he looked over with suspicious eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little happy." Mrs. Ye wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand, and looked up at her son, "It's really good to meet such a person who makes you care so much."

She really felt that way.

Even if it's just because of this reason, she will be grateful to the person Ye Huaishuang likes.

He turned her son back into a normal human being with flesh and blood.

The expression on Madam Ye's face and tone were very gentle: "You must like him very much."

Perhaps it was the influence of the halo of the street lamps, Ye Huaishuang seemed to have softened a bit.

He unconsciously bent the corner of his mouth, and gave a soft but firm "hmm".

Lin Jianqiu didn't see Ye Huaishuang's new news until a little later.

Earlier, they arrived at the resort, put down their luggage, and then a small conflict broke out on the way out for a stroll.

The reason was that someone was gossiping about Qiu Tianyun behind his back, and he was caught by the person concerned.

Those were a few male writers, not very famous—at least Lin Jianqiu had never heard of them.

But they are very active in participating in the activities.

They were almost present in the sporadic offline activities that Qiu Tianyun participated in before, and they became familiar after exchanging names.

However, Qiu Tianyun came to participate in the event not because of them, but because another friend of hers in the circle was also there. The other party happened to be in a bottleneck period recently, and wanted to take this opportunity to relax, so they made an appointment to meet here.

Although the two met online, they have met offline many times. If they were not separated by a distance, they might come out to have afternoon tea together every day.

When Qiu Tianyun and Lin Jianqiu arrived, the other party had already packed their things, and when they saw the news, they rushed to the door to greet them.

Lin Jianqiu turned into a ruthless bag-carrying boy.

He didn't really mind.

If it weren't for Qiu Jinyan's repeated entrustment by Miss Qiu, he wouldn't even follow behind the two girls.

Qiu Jinyan said that her younger sister only started to feel spied on and followed from time to time after she participated in an offline activity in the writer's circle.

There was also a class reunion not long before and after.

However, most of the students are locals, either attending class or working, and there are traces of their usual actions.

Qiu Jinyan checked all those classmates without telling his sister, and there was basically nothing wrong.

So the possibility is only on the side of the writer's circle.

Qiu Jinyan wanted to investigate one by one again, but not all the people in this circle were in Yuncheng, and some of them used pseudonyms from beginning to end, so it was inconvenient to investigate.

And for some unknown reason, she concealed from her sister the investigation of the people around her, and didn't even tell her that it was probably the people around her.

Maybe it was because she was afraid of frightening her, or letting the stalker notice it, so as to scare the snake away.

Lin Jianqiu was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility.

Different from the low-key, dull and inconspicuous image in reality, Qiu Tianyun is very popular in his circle of writers.

However, the reasons for being popular among men and women are different.

Qiu Tianyun obviously has a better relationship with the female writers, and she speaks more freely. Occasionally, a few business exchanges are leaked, and most of them only involve the article itself, and more chats are usually about hobbies.

It's quite different with male writers.

Several of them kept a polite distance from Qiu Tianyun, and when they met, they just said hello and turned away.

The other part was obviously more eager, staring at the girl's face constantly.

Especially after Qiu Tianyun changed her hairstyle to reveal her delicate face.

Behind the scenes is more gossip.

"Do you think she has become much prettier? Last time I saw her, she was still a local student girl."

"I think she's pretty, but she's too sloppy and doesn't know how to dress up, but isn't this a little more pure?"

"After all, she is also the younger sister of a big star, so she must have a good background."

"Star? It's the one who sings. I've heard of it too. She's really pretty. My sister is far behind her."

"Isn't it Xiao San's child? Logically speaking, you should be able to see her face. Otherwise, no matter how much you like her, why can't you compare to the original child?"

"However, it's the same father. His own father is also a professor after all. I'm sure you won't have to worry about connections."

"Then why not catch her sister? I heard that my mother's family has a well-known company, and there is no shortage of money, status and power. Isn't it much better than an illegitimate daughter?"

"Tsk tsk, you don't understand this, how can such a proud and arrogant young lady be easy to deceive like a school girl."

……

remarks like that.

Those people sat in the air-conditioned room in the corner, chatting unscrupulously while drinking tea.

In the past, Qiu Tianyun only played with girls when she participated in activities. Whenever she came to the event, she would huddle in one place and would not move. They probably didn't expect her to be so excited this time.

But they don't feel too guilty when they gossip so openly.

Because Qiu Tianyun is a standard persimmon.

Simple deceitful and cowardly.

——Some of those gossips were even drawn out of her own mouth because she was too gullible to trust others.

Then let other people dig deeper and diverge step by step, and use it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Just like this time, Qiu Tianyun obviously felt unhappy when he heard those words, his face flushed, he bit his lower lip, and tears rolled in his eyes.

But she clenched the corner of her clothes tightly, and did not dare to say a word of rebuttal.

She lowered her head, and she was no different from the shy and dull look in the past.

If it goes on like this, when they meet again next time and the other party greets her, even if she doesn't like it, she will still nod in response.

As if nothing had happened.

But this time was different, Qiu Tianyun's good friend happened to be present, holding her arm.

Unlike Qiu Tianyun, who is somewhat weak in character, her friend has a violent temper. When she heard those words, she couldn't get angry. She scolded a few words but was besieged by the thick-skinned man in turn.

She got angry, picked up the chair at hand and smashed it over.

This move was out of control.

Other passengers were also attracted attention, and the manager of the villa was sweating profusely from fright, and quickly called the security guards to pull the two sides apart, lest those men really do anything to the two girls.

The initiator of this event also rushed over, put down the things at hand, and immediately came over to persuade the fight.

The man wearing glasses looked elegant and seemed to be very prestigious in this circle. After arriving at the scene, he scolded the male authors with a straight face before asking about the consequences.

"How can you lay hands on the ladies?"

"As a man, you should know how to be humble to women."

"Apologize to them quickly, or you won't be called in the next event."

The men gossiping behind them lowered their heads and muttered a few words in a low voice, but it was unclear whether they were apologizing or not.

Qiu Tianyun's friend's face just eased a little, and he was a little annoyed when he saw this.

But before she could yell at her, the man with glasses turned his head to them again to act as a peacemaker.

"Please don't be angry, so as not to spoil the mood of the game, they just have a big mouth, but their hearts are not bad."

"In the future, I will educate them again in private. For my sake, don't bother with them."

"As compensation, I will cover all the expenses during this period."

The hot-tempered girl wanted to say something, Qiu Tianyun tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to conflict with others.

So in the end she had to endure it, looked at Qiu Tianyun and nodded, and whispered that it was okay.

A storm just passed.

The other spectators left one after another, leaving behind the man with glasses who continued to comfort Qiu Tianyun in private.

On the contrary, her friend turned her head and saw Lin Jianqiu standing not far away, watching silently, and couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied.

"Aren't you her brother? Why don't you help her when you see her being bullied?" the girl asked with an angry temperament.

"My job is to ensure her safety, not a psychological counselor." Lin Jianqiu looked at the phone and said, "This is not the first time."

The girl was displeased with his casual attitude, and spoke in a somewhat aggressive tone: "Why isn't it the first time, shouldn't it be a matter of course for you, a brother, to protect her?"

She was annoyed at the unfair treatment her friend had received.

To her, the inaction of family and friends is a greater sin than the strangers who gossip behind their backs.

She didn't blame Qiu Tianyun for being weak as a good friend—maybe she encouraged her to be brave in private.

But anyway, she really cared and cared for Qiu Tianyun.

Lin Jianqiu didn't try to defend the real relationship between him and Qiu Tianyun.

There is no need.

It would be better to be misunderstood like this.

On the other side, someone secretly looked at this "brother" who appeared out of nowhere.

The girl was offended by Lin Jianqiu's indifference, turned her head angrily, and pulled Qiu Tianyun away.When passing by Lin Jianqiu, Qiu Tianyun said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I will explain it to her later..."

Lin Jianqiu glanced at her, but he was actually a little surprised by her attitude - her temper was too good to be true.

But he didn't persuade or comfort her, he just reminded her.

"Stay with your friends, don't be alone."

Qiu Tianyun only had time to nod her head before being dragged away by her friend.

Lin Jianqiu turned around and met the gaze of the man with glasses.

The sudden staring caught the other party by surprise, and subconsciously looked away.

Lin Jianqiu smiled at him, and took a photo of his face as he walked back.

Because the posture and attitude were too natural, no one noticed his little movement.

On the way back to the room, Lin Jianqiu packed the photos and audio recordings of those men and sent them all to Qiu Jinyan.

Lin Jianqiu's room was assigned to one end of the stairs, opposite to the ladies' room.

Perhaps because of the sufficient budget for this event, the promoters of the event booked a whole floor of rooms. Except for a few people with excellent relationships who insisted on getting together, the rest were single rooms.

Lin Jianqiu entered the room and closed the door, opened the window to see the garden downstairs.

There are mountains in the distance and a lake can be seen.

The resort was built in the suburbs, far away from the urban area, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the signal was not very good.

The only advantage is that the environment is good. Unfortunately, it was dark and foggy in the distance, so we couldn't see any beautiful scenery.

Lin Jianqiu connected to the wireless network in the room, only to see the transmission bar move slightly.

Then Ye Huaishuang's news jumped out.

There was a delay of about an hour.

Lin Jianqiu leaned against the window and looked at the time. It was not the time for ordinary young people to sleep. After thinking for a while, he dialed the phone.

Ye Huaishuang quickly answered the phone.

Lin Jianqiu turned on the lamp on the table next to him. Seeing himself in the glass reflection with his eyebrows bent, he smiled unconsciously.

"Good evening, Teacher Ye."

Ye Huaishuang also replied, "Good evening."

Lin Jianqiu asked him, "Are you done with your work?"

"Yeah." Ye Huaishuang replied, "I just went for a walk, and now I'm here with my parents."

After finally finishing the work, it is not very friendly to go home and see the empty house.

Lin Jianqiu thought about it untimely.

He looked up and saw an electronic clock hanging on the wall of the room, showing the time and date, including the date of the lunar calendar.

The fifth day of July.

After that, Ye Huaishuang had a few days of vacation, but Lin Jianqiu came out with Qiu's younger sister.

Ye Huaishuang would not be awkward because of this kind of thing.

What's more, he usually spends much more time busy than Lin Jianqiu.

Therefore, he is also very considerate and never makes embarrassing requests.

However, Lin Jianqiu still gave an approximate time.

"Tomorrow night at the latest, the problem here should be resolved. When the matter is over, I will try to go back early."

Ye Huaishuang asked him: "Do you have any idea?"

Lin Jianqiu said "hmm": "The one Qiu Jinyan suspected, I probably know who it is."

But it's not the one in the plot, it's not easy to say.

Intuitively, he felt that it had something to do with Qiu Jinyan.

The relationship between the sisters is getting more and more subtle.

Qiu Jinyan is very concerned about her sister.

There is no doubt about that.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have spent so much time asking someone to investigate the people and things around her.

In the final analysis, being followed and spied on is just Qiu Tianyun's own side of things.

For a sister with a normal relationship, at most she would only ask a question every once in a while, and she would probably not always take it to heart when clues and evidence could not be found for a long time.

But Qiu Jinyan seemed to be more nervous than his sister herself.

However, under the premise of such concern, she never encouraged her sister in other ways.

Qiu Jinyan is beautiful, confident, elegant and noble, and generous. In contrast, my younger sister is inferior, cowardly, and dare not argue with others—no matter how insulted she is.

The sisters are rarely even seen together.

Qiu Jinyan never mentioned her sister publicly in front of outsiders, let alone praised and defended her.That's why there are rumors that the relationship between the sisters is not good.

Half-sisters, good or bad, are possible.

The strange thing is that while caring, keep a respectful distance.

Ye Huaishuang realized that Lin Jianqiu was distracted, and called him twice: "Jianqiu, what's wrong?"

Lin Jianqiu saw people coming in and out downstairs, and the door of the villa could be seen through the window of the room on this side.

He came back to his senses, remembering the question he wanted to ask earlier.

"I remember that Mr. Ye seems to know Professor Qiu, right?"

"Well, I've taken his class before."

"Do you know about Qiu Tianyun and her mother?" Lin Jianqiu asked without much hope.

Ye Huaishuang probably doesn't pay much attention to these gossips, not to mention that it has been many years since.

Sure enough, Ye Huaishuang was silent for a moment.

"I don't have much impression. I'll ask my former classmates."

Ye Huaishuang paused, then said uncertainly: "But I remember that there were no rumors of illegitimate daughters at that time."

Lin Jianqiu was slightly taken aback.

He saw Qiu Tianyun downstairs and her friend came back together.

Suddenly there was a drizzle outside, the summer showers always come in a hurry, the disturbed girl pulled Qiu Tianyun to stand under the gazebo not far away to shelter from the rain.

She flicked the rainwater from her hair, always with an angry and unhappy expression on her face.

Soon, the bespectacled man who tried to persuade the fight rushed over with two umbrellas.

Lin Jianqiu looked away and heard Ye Huaishuang still talking.

"—someone replied to me."

"He said that Professor Qiu said at that time that it was his stepdaughter, and that girl should have no blood relationship with Qiu Jinyan."

The author has something to say: I’m sorry that I was busy at home two days ago and didn’t have time to type. This chapter is relatively long and I fell asleep while writing last night. quq will update it today and tomorrow, okay?
