[Bug-catching]

During free time in the morning, Ye Ya got permission from the teacher and went to a corner holding the crumpled name card, nervously dialing the number on her phone watch.

Wang Hongru soon picked up and said hello twice.

Ye Ya suddenly became shy and didn’t say anything to the Genius Watch for a while.

“Did you dial the wrong number?” Wang Hongru was puzzled.

Seeing that the other party was about to hang up, Ye Ya hurriedly spoke, “Hello Mister…” Her sweet little voice was like pouring honey, melting the listener’s heart.

Wang Hongru remembered Ye Ya’s voice and searched his memory for a while, then remembered her and called out her name, “You are Ye Ya, right?”

Ye Ya responded with an “mhm” and fidgeted with the watch chain. She slowly said, “I want to earn money to support my brother.”

“What?”

“My brother is sick and needs medicine,” Ye Ya whispered shyly.

“Oh,” Wang Hongru understood, “You mean you agree to be the model for our Children’s Home?”

Model?

Ye Ya thought about the meaning of the word and said, “Yes!”

“Did your parents agree?” Wang Hongru asked.

“Are parents the biggest people in the family?” Ye Ya tilted her head.

“Well…you can say that,” Wang Hongru replied.

“Then they agree!” Ye Ya shouldered the responsibility, took a deep breath, and said firmly, “They agree!”

She was the biggest person in the family. She wanted to earn money to support her brother and pay off bro’s debts.

Suddenly feeling heavy, Ye Ya asked cautiously, “Mister, do you agree?”

Wang Hongru smiled, “Of course I agree.” Ye Ya was such a lovely little girl, and signing her would certainly benefit the company. There was no reason not to agree.

“On Saturday, have your guardian bring you to the address on the name card. We will discuss the contract with your guardian, and once it is settled, you can earn money to pay for your brother’s medical treatment.”

He had something to do and hung up the phone after finishing, leaving Ye Ya staring at the screen of her watch in a daze.

What does “guardian” mean? Isn’t it enough for parents to agree?

“Yaya, do you want to play house with me? You can be my daughter,” Xia Qing enthusiastically invited Ye Ya while holding her doll.

But Ye Ya had no desire to play house. She shook her head and grabbed Xia Qing’s sleeve, with a glimmer of curiosity in her eyes. “Xia Qing, do you know what a guardian means?”

Xia Qing crouched down next to her. “Mom and Dad are guardians, right?”

But Ye Ya’s mood was low. “But Yaya doesn’t have Mom and Dad…”

The little girl looked despondent, and in a blink of an eye, Xia Qing forgot to blink, reached out and patted her head. “It’s okay, it’s okay. Yaya still has me, and if it doesn’t work, I can let my mom and dad be your guardians.” She hugged her. “Yaya, don’t be sad.”

The sister’s comfort made Ye Ya feel much better, and she soon came out of her depression and told Xia Qing about her plan to take care of her brother. Xia Qing thought about it for a while and, twisting her delicate eyebrows, helped Ye Ya brainstorm. After a few minutes, she came up with an idea.

“You can go home and ask Mister Ye first. If he is not willing, then you can come to my house, and I can let Mister be your guardian.”

To help Xia Qing integrate into the circle quickly, Shu Meichen sometimes brought her to various banquets and would also let Xia Yu help her with good resources.

With this plan in mind, Ye Ya thanked Xia Qing and waited patiently for class to be over.

The Ye family had fallen on hard times, and Ye Ya basically said goodbye to the family’s car service and obediently took the kindergarten bus home with Shen Ran. At this time, Shen Zhou and the others had not finished school yet, and Ye Linchuan did not seem to be at home. After knocking on the door for half a day, Shen Ran found the key from her schoolbag, opened the door, and went in.

The living room was quiet and empty, with no one around.

The breakfast left for Ye Linchuan on the table was untouched, and the dishes that had not been washed in the morning were piled up in the sink. They searched every room and confirmed that Ye Linchuan was not at home, probably leaving early.

Shen Ran put down his school bag, cleaned up the mess on the table, and carried a small stool to the kitchen, standing on it to wash the dishes skillfully. Seeing this, Ye Ya hurriedly took a small rag and wiped the table. The two of them worked together and soon cleaned up the house.

As the clock struck six, Shen Ran was doing his math homework on the table, and Ye Ya sat quietly next to him, attending an online class. When the last math class ended, they heard a click at the door, and they both looked over.

Mister Ye Linchuan stood at the door in a suit, silently changing his shoes.

“Mister, you’re back.”

Ye Linchuan looked up and gave a grunt.

Shen Ran asked, “Mister, where did you go?”

“I dealt with some work matters.”

Shen Ran was very honest, “But you don’t have a job, do you?”

Ye Linchuan was not angry. He had visited several companies today, trying to persuade them to withdraw the lawsuit. Two of the companies in Shenzhen agreed to withdraw, while several other companies and the bank refused to see him. This was also expected, but he was not discouraged. For Ye Linchuan now, as long as someone withdrew the lawsuit, it was good news.
