23: Chapter 0023: Pleading 23: Chapter 0023: Pleading The old textile mill district was not very big, and amplifying this, the roaring and scolding voices of Li Lanfang were so loud that not only Ye Qiu and Ye Xue heard them clearly, but so did everyone else living in the neighborhood. Even some puppies and children were frightened and started crying. Even when Li Lanfang’s roaring had ceased, Ye Qiu seemed as if he hadn’t heard anything at all. After he returned, he comfortably took a bath, went directly to his room, took down the mat, and sat cross-legged on it, cultivating the “Primordial Five Emperors Technique” in the light streaming in through the window. It wasn’t midnight yet, and the moonlight bathing Ye Qiu was not the finest Moonlight Essence. However, for Ye Qiu, it was quite good. Now, his body was like those solar panels, ceaselessly absorbing sunlight, only, in Ye Qiu’s case, it was the essence of the moon. After an indeterminate amount of time, Ye Qiu heard footsteps outside his room. Ye Qiu got up, opened the door, and saw his mother, Chen Fang, pacing. “Mom, what’s the matter?” Ye Qiu asked. “Your father and I have made things clear with Xiaoqing’s parents. You two no longer have that kind of relationship. However, Xiaoqing remains a victim. If she needs help in the future, try your best to assist her.” When Li Lanfang spoke, Ye Qiu didn’t say much. The old Ye Qiu wasn’t familiar with He Xiaoqing, and the current Ye Qiu was even less so. Of course, now that he had broken off the engagement with He Xiaoqing like that, she was definitely impacted. “Mom, I will listen to you.” “Then you should rest early. Are you planning to go back to school tomorrow, or are you going to see the vice mayor’s daughter?” Chen Fang suddenly remembered to ask. “Tomorrow morning I still need to see the vice mayor’s daughter, I’ll go check the school in the afternoon.” Having nothing else to discuss, Chen Fang told Ye Qiu to rest early. Ye Qiu returned to his room and found that it was just reaching midnight; the essence of the moonlight was now at its purest. Bathed in the moonlight, Ye Qiu continued his cultivation. The next day, when sunlight started streaming through his window, Ye Qiu opened his eyes and realized that it was already past eight in the morning. At this time, the purest essence of daylight was long gone. Because the sun was already high in the sky. Ye Qiu got up, washed up, and still wore the same set of bleached shirt and jeans, which were stained with oil that couldn’t be washed off. Coming out of his room, he saw that the doors to his sister and parents’ rooms were open. Seeing no one there, he knew they had already gone to open the congee and rice noodle shop. S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ye Qiu had wanted to tell his parents and sister not to work so hard for money, but now Weidong didn’t believe he had that capability. Ye Qiu knew he just had to wait a bit longer. Coming down from upstairs, Ye Qiu went to the congee and rice noodle shop and indeed saw his parents and sister busy at work. After arriving, Ye Xue made him a bowl of egg and beef noodles. After finishing the bowl of beef noodles, he then rode his 28-gear bicycle towards the Rose Garden district. Having been there once before, Ye Qiu was familiar with the route and, further, his physical condition had improved from yesterday after practicing the Primordial Five Emperors Technique. Now, when he was riding the 28-gear bicycle on the road, his speed was very fast. At the entrance to the Rose Garden district, he didn’t see the head security guard or the security guards who had beaten him up yesterday, while the other few security guards were despondently sitting there smoking. They had never anticipated that the young man, dressed so plainly and riding such an old-fashioned bicycle, was actually the one treating the vice mayor’s daughter. Although they had already apologized to Ye Qiu on behalf of the captain and had given him half a pack of Furong Wang cigarettes yesterday, they did not expect that last night, the vice mayor’s wife, Lu Xiuyu, would still complain to the residential property management to fire the security guards from yesterday morning. The reason was not that they had fought with Ye Qiu, but that those security guards had actually defecated near her doorstep. Although the residue from the defecation near the doorstep was soon swept clean by the property management company’s cleaners, Lu Xiuyu was still very displeased. So, when the property management company’s manager received a complaint call from Lu Xiuyu last night, he naturally did not think twice about it and immediately prepared to fire those individuals. After all, there are not many vice mayors’ wives, but finding those security guards was very easy. This manager of the property company definitely did not dare to offend the vice mayor’s wife, so, no matter what, those men were definitely going to be fired. Now, as those security guards smoked at the door, unexpectedly, they saw Ye Qiu slowly ride over on his bicycle. At this point, these security guards dared not underestimate this plainly dressed young man and quickly opened the automated gate. Ye Qiu drove inside and was about to leave when one of the security guards hurriedly ran after him. “Ye, Brother Ye, we have a favor to ask of you.” The security guard said in a wheedling tone. At this moment, his attitude was completely different from the arrogant demeanor of the security guards yesterday. “What is it?” “Yesterday, we already apologized to you on behalf of our captain, but now the vice mayor’s wife still wants to fire them. We were wondering if you could plead with the vice mayor’s wife on their behalf!” “Plead on their behalf? Hmph! Why should I plead for them?” Ye Qiu said coldly. “But, but you took our cigarettes yesterday, doesn’t that mean you forgave them?” “Oh, those cigarettes were given to me voluntarily.” Ye Qiu seemed reluctant to say more. The guard was at a loss for words, and as Ye Qiu was about to leave, these guards were almost ready to kneel down. After all, these guards had all come from the same military unit, had been together for many years, and had good relationships. If the captain and some others were fired, it would definitely bring in new guards, which could lead to conflicts. Moreover, with a different new captain of the guards, it was possible that he would not be as good to them as the current captain. “Then I’ll mention it to her at some point.” Ye Qiu said. Seeing Ye Qiu say this, the guards finally got up. Of course, they equally did not know what weight Ye Qiu carried in front of the vice mayor’s wife, but this issue did initially involve Ye Qiu. Later, they considered their act of defecation unrelated to Ye Qiu, yet they thought the vice mayor’s wife used it as an excuse to fire their captain. Now, Li Zhiguo had already returned to work at the city government, while Lu Xiuyu had not gone to her job but had stayed to care for Li Qianqian. She and Li Qianqian did not know when Ye Qiu would arrive; naturally, they hoped Ye Qiu would come quickly to cure Li Qianqian’s illness completely. As Ye Qiu parked his bicycle and rang his bicycle bell, Lu Xiuyu inside had already heard it. As she came out to see, indeed, it was Ye Qiu. She hurriedly came out to open the iron gate, and Ye Qiu, pushing his bicycle, proceeded inside.
