Chapter 325: Crisis in Ye Family

“Not too bad,” Lu Yi replied simply. He was busy and it was just who he was. Hence, the rest didn’t find anything amiss and started to get busy with their own things.

Lu Yi walked to his office and just as he sat down, there was already a pile of documents waiting for him. The attorney office had been very busy recently as it was the start of the year and many things had to be redone again. He sighed a little as he started busying himself in front of the computer.

As he busied himself, he forgot about the time and forgot to eat. Luckily, he had that bottle of milk and bread to last him through. Or else, it is unclear if he and his stomach would be able to last for so long.

If it wasn’t for the phone ringing beside him, he probably would be so engrossed in his work that he would have forgotten of the time and forgotten to eat. He took up the phone and took a glance at it. It was almost one already.

There was a foreign number on his phone.

He answered and placed it to his ear.

“Hello, are you Mr Lu Yi?”

“Yes,” Lu Yi was still typing away at his computer. Itseems as if he hasn’t forgotten about work.

“Mr. Lu, the takeout that you have ordered has reached. I am outside the attorney office. I cannot enter inside, can you come out to collect it?”

“Takeout?” Lu Yi stopped what he was doing.

Takeout, what takeout?

“A Ms Yan has ordered for you. One portion will be sent to you every day at this time. It will be here at 1pm except Saturdays and Sundays.”

Lu Yi shifted his fingers. In that moment, he had the same feeling as Lei Qingyi as he felt his eyes turning moist. Only Ye Shuyun would say this to him in the past.

“Take your food properly, three meals a day. Take them at a fixed time.” But he would forget about it when he got busy.

Only his lady would remember about it now.

No other woman has done this for him in the past or perhaps they thought that they would need to follow unconditionally whatever he said to them. This was a given and it should be the case. But who would have thought that giving isn’t a one way thing, it is a two-way street?

Perhaps because of this, those relationships didn’t last.

Only now did he really understand what was most suited for him.

His lady, she was the most suitable one.

After signing the receipt, Lu Yi brought the takeout back into his office. Lei Qingyi came over again.

“Lu Yi, my Lingling bought takeout for me. I am so touched. The only woman who has treated me well my whole life is my mother, your mother and my Lingling,” Lei Qingyi looked so feeble in that moment. A man as big as a bear hugging a takeout box and saying how touched he was, how agitated he was. He almost knelt on the floor, overwhelmed with gratitude.

Lu Yi opened his takeout box as he listened to Lei Qingyi nagging like an old lady. There was a portion of dumpling inside together with a bowl of egg soup. It was still hot.

He picked up the chopsticks and ate one, it was a prawn dumpling. Even though it wasn’t as nice as the one that Yan Huan made, it tasted decent. Taking a bite, the meat was tender and the soup was fresh. He drank a mouth of the egg soup.

Soon, he was full and satisfied.

After eating, he was busy again. He only knocked off from work past seven and when he returned home, the bottle of milk was waiting for him outside. It was the milk delivery boy.

He bent down and picked up the milk before opening the door and walking in.

Just as he entered, he heard knocking outside the door. He walked out again only to find a middle-aged woman in her fifties standing outside. She was dressed cleanly and she had tied her hair into a ponytail. Even though the clothes she was wearing weren’t the best, they were incredibly clean. There were no oil stains or dirt.

“Excuse me, are you Mr Lu Yi?” The middle-aged woman took a glance at the door number. This place was right, he was very tall and didn’t like to laugh. Yeap, it was this place.

Lu Yi nodded, “I am, what’s up?”

Only then did the middle-aged woman take out a lunchbox.

“I am the nanny that Mrs Yan hired. I started today and before Mrs Yan left, she had asked me to prepare food for you every morning and night. Also, do not worry,” The woman smiled again, “We all are professionals and are trained by experts. We will not reveal anything about our employers at all. Also, just place the bowl outside when you are done eating. I will come and collect it.”

“This is for tonight, some congee and 2 vegetables. It is a little bland but if there is anything that you like, do let me know. I will take note tomorrow.”

“Thank you,” Lu Yi took it over; he didn’t have much requests when it came to food.

“It is fine, that’s all.”

Only then did Yan Huan’s nanny leave. Lu Yi carried the lunchbox over before placing it on the table. He washed his face, changed his clothes, heated up the milk before picking up the newspaper that he hadn’t finished reading this morning and placing it on the table.

He opened up the lunchbox. It was a bowl of congee that was still hot. There were some bits of corn inside the congee and no sugar was needed after he drank one mouth of it. It was very sweet and silky, and he finished it in one gulp. The vegetables were decent too and as for the milk, he didn’t feel like drinking it now. It could wait till before he slept.

There was milk every morning as well as the food that Yan Huan’s nanny delivered over. Sometimes it was egg and mantou, sometimes it was dough fritters and soy curd, sometimes it was buns and wonton. Whatever the case was, he must drink milk every day.

Within a week, he felt incredibly refreshed. He looked good and even his body felt better too.

He didn’t know that at this moment, there was something brewing within the Ye family that could topple his family with centuries of history.

“Old Su, see, our family has had so many years of ties, why can’t you help us with this?”

Old Ye, Ye Jianguo’s voice was quivering. He wasn’t the loud person he used to be where he wouldn’t bow down to anything. In this world what was the hardest? Pleading with others, asking for help and borrowing money.

He was all three things right now. If it didn’t concern the life and death of the Ye family, he wouldn’t open his mouth too, especially for Su Ancheng.
