Chapter 337: I Knew His Motives Werent Pure

In the past few days, Du Yuanlei had already finished shooting the indoor scenes, and the crew had also moved out of that apartment. Yang Huan, with her eyes looking around nervously, slowly moved to Yang Yi’s booth, looking back three times with every step.

“Big brother!” Yang Huan sat across Yang Yi and called out softly, dragging out the words, sounding nothing like her usual lively self.

“What’s the matter?” Yang Yi closed the book in his hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked.

Yang Yi had noticed her movements early on, but he remained calm and did not take the initiative to speak. This girl definitely had something to ask for, and it might not be a small matter!

Yang Huan did not directly get to the point, but first brought up some family matters: “Big brother, didn’t you send money home a few days ago? Second brother told me that our parents want to use this money to build him a new house for his wedding after the New Year, but second brother doesn’t agree. He wants to renovate our family’s old house first so that you have a place to stay when you come home.”

Yang Qing also knew about Yang Yi having a child, but now, he was helping to keep it a secret. The three of them had discussed this matter together. Instead of telling it in advance and making it difficult for the two old people to accept it in a daze, it would be better to wait until the Spring Festival when Yang Yi brought his whole family back, and then tell them directly. Looking at the face of his great-granddaughter, Father Yang wouldn’t break Yang Yi’s leg, would he?

It was precisely because of the child’s issue that Yang Qing thought more about it. He thought that Yang Yi coming back alone wouldn’t be a problem, but if he came back with the child, they couldn’t have them living in an old, rundown tile house like them.

Could these city children get used to their rural environment? So, Yang Qing thought about taking advantage of the one month left to renovate their house, at least to build a two-story building, and then repaint all the walls. Yang Yi’s room should be tiled…

When Yang Huan told Yang Yi about Yang Qing’s plan, Yang Yi was moved by his younger brother’s thoughtfulness.

“Big brother, our parents are not willing to renovate the house. They say that second brother’s marriage should be put first. What do you think should be done?” Yang Huan blinked and asked.

The solution was simple. Yang Huan even thought of it herself, she was just trying to find something to say.

Yang Yi shook his head: “It’s simple. There’s no need to build a new house for Yang Qing. I’ll send some more money back and ask Yang Qing to demolish the house at home, rebuild from the foundation, and build a three or four-story building. The first floor is for our parents to live in. They are getting older and living on the first floor means they don’t have to climb stairs. The second floor is for Yang Qing and his wife to live in, and they can also take care of our parents. The third or fourth floor is left for you and me. Anyway, we are usually outside and only go back during holidays. It doesn’t matter if we live on the top floor.”

“Don’t just tile my room. Let him spend more money on renovation and buy more furniture. You help persuade Yang Qing that we are not short of money now. It’s important to live comfortably!” Yang Yi said to Yang Huan.

Yang Yi was closer to Yang Huan now. Communication with Yang Qing was not as smooth as with Yang Huan. After all, Yang Qing basically stayed in the countryside, unlike Yang Huan, who spent a few years studying in the county. Their topics of conversation didn’t align well, and Yang Huan was more than happy to act as a mediator between them.

“Okay!” Yang Huan said with a smile, “By the way, big brother, speaking of houses, I suddenly remembered something.”

Sure enough, a knowing look flashed in Yang Yi’s eyes. He knew that when Yang Huan suddenly came to him and hesitated so much, she definitely had something on her mind! The family matters aside, she definitely needed something from him.

“Hasn’t the shooting of ‘Fairy Tale’ already moved out of that apartment? Little Guo told me that he doesn’t know what to do with the apartment he’s renting. It’s usually left empty, so I thought maybe I could move in there…” Yang Huan said hesitantly.

Yang Yi didn’t wait for her to finish speaking, raised an eyebrow, and interrupted her: “No, absolutely not!”

His opposition came so quickly and harshly that it caught Yang Huan off guard.

Yang Yi’s voice was tinged with a hint of anger as he asked, “Did that guy Guo Ziyi deceive you? I knew he had impure motives for renting that apartment, and he actually dared to target you!”

Where’s my knife? No knife is fine too, I’ll let Xiao Guai bite him!

In Yang Yi’s heart, Guo Zi was now in a black and white photo with one word on it – dead!

“Big brother, you misunderstood!” Yang Huan realized that she had dug a hole for her teammate. She hurriedly explained to Yang Yi, “Little Guo didn’t say anything to me! It was my own idea to move out.”

“You’re living well at home, why do you want to move out?” Yang Yi was convinced that it was Guo Zi’s fault.

“Because I want to review my lessons with Sister Ding Xiang!” Yang Huan had already thought of an excuse and explained, “Isn’t there two rooms in that apartment? One for me and one for Sister Ding Xiang. Sister Ding Xiang doesn’t have to go back to her dormitory anymore. We can study together at night.”

“The evenings are so long, and there’s no atmosphere for studying at home with you and sister-in-law,” Yang Huan said meaningfully, “Sister Ding Xiang is very serious. She reviews and previews her lessons when she goes back. Studying with her can be mutually beneficial and motivating!”

Yang Huan’s school registration had already been arranged by Guo Zi’s father at a private high school in Jiangcheng. Since it was a private high school, it didn’t matter whether Yang Huan went to school or not. Yang Yi didn’t mind Yang Huan’s choice to study at home. He even bought a lot of review materials for Yang Huan at home. Based on Ding Xiang’s feedback and his frequent checks, it seemed that Yang Huan did find time for her studies.

Admitting to a key university was probably out of the question, but if she could pa.s.s the art exam, the remaining academic test would not be a problem according to Guo Zi and Ding Xiang.

“Don’t cause trouble for your sister Ding Xiang. Where does she have the money to rent with you and mess around with you? Ding Xiang usually doesn’t even want to buy some good clothes and saves all her money. I heard her grandmother is sick!” Yang Yi felt it was inappropriate. He couldn’t be selfish for the sake of his sister and disregard Ding Xiang’s feelings.

“Hehe, I know, so I want to discuss it with you, big brother. You take over the apartment and rent it as an employee dormitory. That way, after Sister Ding Xiang closes the shop at night, she doesn’t have to run so far back to the dormitory, and it’s safer too.” Yang Huan said.

This was indeed a good solution.

Yang Yi furrowed his brow and asked somewhat skeptically, “Is it really for studying? You and Ding Xiang living together? That guy Guo Zi won’t mix in?”

Yang Huan now understood his concerns and said somewhat amusedly, “How could that be! Big brother, in a place where girls live, men are not welcome. Not to mention that Little Guo won’t be able to come over in the future…”

She promptly put the brakes on her words, but Yang Yiyi still understood.

He coughed awkwardly twice and said, “If that’s the case, and you want to study well and prepare for this year’s art exam, I can help you rent this apartment.”

“Hehe, big brother, you’re the best!” Yang Huan jumped up and hugged Yang Yi’s arm affectionately.

“However, I must say, I will have Ding Xiang supervise you and your studies. If you don’t study well after moving out, I will immediately let you move back!” Yang Yi sternly warned.

Yang Yi had confidence in Ding Xiang, and he had a plan in mind. He not only wanted Ding Xiang to supervise Yang Huan but also to keep an eye on Guo Ziyi, making sure that stinky boy wouldn’t have any idea on his sister!

“Yes, sir!” Yang Huan saluted with a grin. Recently, she had watched a lot of Hong Kong police and gangster films under the pretext of learning acting.
