Chapter 2182: Testing the waters?

Before this, since Su Ziwu had never mentioned anything about her parents, Ye Ye had never asked. However, at this moment, he finally mustered up the courage to ask Su Ziwu this question for the first time.

After Su Ziwu heard Ye Ye's words, her brain seemed to be struck by lightning and went blank in an instant.

Wu Yuan... Wu Yuan! This name kept echoing in her mind. She widened her eyes and looked at Ye Ye in astonishment.

This is her mother's name! But how could Ye Ye know it? Could it be that... Su Ziwu's heart was filled with countless questions. Her lips trembled slightly. She wanted to say something, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound.

"you……"

Su Ziwu looked at Ye Ye anxiously, her eyes filled with confusion and shock. She seemed to have a thousand words to say, but because she was too emotional, she could only say "you". Then, as if she was choked, she could not say anything else.

"Don't get excited yet!"

Ye Ye said hurriedly. When he saw Su Ziwu's reaction, he felt a little flustered.

Seeing that Su Ziwu was getting excited, he quickly held Su Ziwu's shoulders and spoke slowly.

In order to prevent Su Ziwu from attracting too much attention, Ye Ye hurriedly spoke out all his speculations.

"It's like this. Your mother might be on the Morning Star. Not only is she not dead, but she's living a very comfortable life. Don't get too excited!"

Hearing Ye Ye's words, Su Ziwu took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down. She calmed down a little.

After seeing this, Ye Ye spoke slowly.

"If you put it that way, it seems like my mother-in-law has already seen through my identity..."

Ye Ye scratched his head helplessly.

That day, Wu Yuan suddenly stood up to help him out, and her meaningful look showed that she obviously knew him.

The reason she knew him was probably through Su Ziwu. But what Ye Ye couldn't understand was how Wu Yuan could reach so far? How could she even get news about Blue Star?

Just when Ye Ye was puzzled, suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind. He slapped his thigh.

My old leader just returned to Qimingxing!

In an instant, Ye Ye seemed to have been enlightened and instantly understood what was going on.

However, just when Ye Ye was still immersed in the brief joy brought by his own intelligence and talent, Su Ziwu's words were like a sharp sword, instantly piercing his pride.

"Where is she?"

Su Ziwu's voice suddenly sounded, with obvious urgency and anxiety.

Ye Ye was startled by the sudden interruption. He looked up suddenly and saw Su Ziwu standing up from the chair as if she had been sprung up by a spring. Her body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were fixed on Ye Ye, as if she wanted to see the answer through his eyes.

Seeing this, Ye Ye quickly reached out and pushed Su Ziwu back into the chair, comforting him.

"The situation is quite complicated. Please listen to me first."

Although Su Ziwu was somewhat reluctant, she still sat down obediently. However, her eyes never left Ye Ye, as if urging him to tell the truth quickly.

Ye Ye took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then began to recount to Su Ziwu everything that happened at the Ning family that day.

When Su Ziwu heard that her mother was now a staff member of the Ning family, and held a high position, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. Then, when she learned that her mother could not only ruthlessly reprimand Ning Dan, a descendant of the Ning family, but could even mobilize servants at will, that surprise gradually gave way to a complex emotion.

Su Ziwu was silent. In her impression, she had no impression of her mother at all. She had only seen a photo of her father and mother in Su Yan's study.

Now, Ye Ye suddenly told her that her mother might be above the Morning Star. Even though Su Yan had given her a shot of prevention before, she was still extremely excited.

"Should I go find her?"

Su Ziwu's voice revealed a hint of uncertainty and confusion. She suddenly turned her head and looked at Ye Ye with hope, as if she could find the answer from him.

Faced with Su Ziwu's direct question, Ye Ye did not hesitate at all, and answered without hesitation.

"Find."

This simple word was like a reassurance to Su Ziwu. Ye Ye knew Su Ziwu too well. Given her personality, if she was really unhappy with Wu Yuan for abandoning her, she wouldn't have asked such a question.

Su Ziwu's question showed that deep down she really wanted to find Wu Yuan, but she might still have some concerns or hesitations. She needed someone to give her a positive answer to help her make up her mind.

Ye Ye's answer was exactly the strength Su Ziwu needed. When she heard Ye Ye say the word "find", her slightly confused eyes instantly became firm, as if all her doubts disappeared at this moment.

"Okay, then we'll..."

Before Su Ziwu could finish his words, he was abruptly interrupted by Ye Ye's second half of the sentence.

"but not now."

Ye Ye's tone was extremely firm, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation.

Su Ziwu was surprised to hear this. She had originally thought Ye Ye would agree to her proposal immediately, but unexpectedly, he suddenly changed his mind. Su Ziwu looked at Ye Ye with suspicion, as if trying to find some clues from his expression.

Seeing this, Ye Ye explained.

"Your mother is likely carrying out some very special mission. Since she knows the relationship between you and me, your arrival must have been hidden from her. However, she didn't contact you on her own initiative. There must be a reason for this."

After hearing this, Su Ziwu nodded thoughtfully. Ye Ye continued.

"So, I think your sudden appearance is likely to cause some unnecessary trouble. It just so happens that Ning Dan helped me solve the problem with the freshman assessment. I can use this as an excuse to pay a visit to the Ning family and express my gratitude. This way, not only can I go to the Ning family with good reason, but I can also help you sound out some opinions."

Ye Ye's words were clear and logical, leaving no room for flaws. In fact, besides considering Su Ziwu's safety, Ye Ye did this for another important reason: he wanted to take this opportunity to test Wu Yuan's intentions. After all, Ye Ye didn't know Wu Yuan well enough, and he needed to get in touch with her to further understand her true thoughts and intentions.

Why don’t you contact Su Ziwu?

Is there something hidden?

Ye Ye didn't want his girlfriend to rush to the Ning family rashly and get turned away. If that happened, Su Ziwu would probably...

"OK...."

Su Ziwu thought about it and seemed to have guessed some of Ye Ye’s inner thoughts. He looked at Ye Ye with great emotion and spoke.

"There's no time to lose. If this isn't finished, I'm afraid I won't even be in the mood for the assessment. I'm leaving now. You should meet up with Tong Chengcheng and the others first."
