Ye Ying had been far away in France. Ye Zhifan didnāt know what she did there and what she experienced. Moreover, Ye Yingās performance tonight was outstanding. Hence, Ye Zhifan didnāt notice his daughterās panic.
On the contrary, because Ye Ying had gone abroad and he controlled her living expenses during that period, he believed her explanation.
āYou donāt have to go back to France anymore. If thereās anything you need, ask your classmates to pack them up and send them back to the country. Iāll pay the rent for you.ā Now that his daughter was confirmed to be joining the military, there was no need for him to give her an allowance.
Ye Yingās heart was beating like a drum. When she saw that he didnāt ask further, her expression slowly returned to normal. āDad, thank you.ā The attendant drove the car over. Ye Ying, who had a guilty conscience, quickly said, āDad, the car is here. You drank a lot of wine. Iāll drive.ā
āYouāre driving?ā Ye Zhifan burped in surprise. āWhen did you learn how to drive? Why donāt I know about it?ā
Ye Yingās expression changed. She took the car keys from the valet and signaled him to help Ye Zhifan into the car. āI learned it overseas. All my classmates know how to drive, while I was the only one who didnāt. I thought that I would have to learn it in the future anyway, so I decided to get an international driverās license. Unfortunately, the international driverās license canāt be used in our country. We can only use it overseas.ā
Ye Zhifan observed that she was very skilled, so he let her be.
It was not bad for a girl to know how to drive. It would be useful to her in the future.
It seemed that his daughter had matured a lot after studying abroad. Otherwise, her performance today would not have been like this.
Ye Yingās palms were sweating. She looked at Ye Zhifan through the rearview mirror. He was resting with his eyes closed. She heaved a sigh of relief and drove the car out of the restaurant.
Before she returned to the country, she had never thought that she would not be going back to France. As a result, there were many things that had yet to be settled in France.
No, no. Since she was going to join the military, she had to settle the matters there properly. She couldnāt let any rumors spread back to China.
Clenching the steering wheel tightly, Ye Ying bit her lower lip and sped into the night as if she had made a decision.
Madam Li, who had returned to the hotel, said to Staff Officer Du, āOld Du, what do you think of Director Yeās daughter? Iāve been paying attention to her for a long time tonight. Although sheās not very dignified, sheās obedient and can be trained.ā
Staff Officer Du, who was unbuttoning his military uniform, didnāt think there was another meaning to her words. He smiled and said, āSheās from a small family. Sheās not as dignified as a lady from a prestigious family. Sheās just an obedient girl.ā
āDonāt you understand what Iām saying?ā Madam Li glanced at her husband who didnāt seem to care about anything and thought of her youngest son. āOur son doesnāt want to join the army. He only wants to be in politics with your elder brother. He canāt have any problems in politics. He must have the capable Yue family to help him out and a good wife.
āIāve seen Director Yeās resume. Heās an honest official, and his achievements have been outstanding. He only has one daughter. If you say that we want to give him some useful information, heāll definitely be happy.ā
Staff Officer Du finally understood what was going on. He frowned and muttered to himself for a while. Then, he shook his head and said, āI still have to properly look into this. I feel that Ye Zhifan is a scheming person. If he hadnāt saved Kaiwei, I wouldnāt have interacted with him.
āAs for his daughter, think it through again. With our family, we donāt have to worry about not being able to find a good daughter-in-law. Having the daughter of a director be our daughter-in-law is not good enough. Back then, you suffered so much when you married me. Thinking about it now, I feel like Iāve let you down.ā
