Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Originally the Youngest Sibling in the Family

Although shocked, Ye Chen immediately stepped forward to help Liao Xuexue with her luggage, considering it inconvenient for a girl to carry so much.

"Why did you bring three suitcases?"

Upon reaching Liao Xuexue, Ye Chen couldn’t help but voice his curiosity.

Even though he knew asking such a question was quite blunt, Ye Chen still couldn’t restrain his curiosity.

Hearing this, Liao Xuexue immediately puffed up her cheeks, displaying an unhappy expression.

Seeing Liao Xuexue’s demeanor, Ye Chen immediately regretted if his words had been too straightforward.

Unexpectedly, Liao Xuexue, while looking at old Lao Liao who was still boasting to old Li’s head and others, said, "I only brought one suitcase myself, the other two were given by my grandma for my grandpa!"

"My grandpa really, he sneaked out early in the morning by himself, didn’t even call me, and also forgot to bring his suitcase, so I had to bring it for him."

Seeing Liao Xuexue puffed up, Ye Chen couldn’t help but pinch the flesh on her face.

She looked so adorable.

But just after he pinched, Ye Chen suddenly realized that his behavior seemed too intimate.

However, Liao Xuexue seemed to be unaware, so she didn’t dodge and kept staring angrily at old Lao Liao.

Ye Chen quickly withdrew his guilty hand, and in order not to let Liao Xuexue realize he had just pinched her face, he picked up on her words.

"That’s it, old Lao Liao was just boasting about it!"

Ye Chen repeated what old Lao Liao had said to Liao Xuexue, making her unable to resist covering her mouth and giggling.

"You don’t know, last night my grandpa took a long time to persuade my grandma, and finally she agreed."

"But the condition was that my grandpa had to fill these two suitcases with gifts before he could return, otherwise they would confiscate his pocket money for the next year and even take away his fishing gear."

Liao Xuexue couldn’t help but smile broadly as she thought of last night’s scene.

Yesterday, upon receiving Ye Chen’s news, old Lao Liao was very excited and rushed to report to his spouse that he was going to Nancheng for a few days.

At first, old Lao Liao’s spouse disagreed, no matter what he said.

But then, like a persistent plaster, old Lao Liao stuck around for a long time, and even kept muttering in his sleep, annoying his spouse so much that she finally agreed.

But the condition was, when old Lao Liao returned to Jiang City, he had to bring two suitcases full of gifts.

As readily as old Lao Liao agreed yesterday, he was extremely cautious this morning.

After all, when he woke up this morning, old Lao Liao regretted it.

If old Li’s head and others found out about this, they would tease him for many days.

Hence, old Lao Liao sneakily got up early in the morning, packed his things, and ran out of the house like a fugitive, even without calling his granddaughter Liao Xuexue, fearing his spouse might stop him.

Luckily, Liao Xuexue was in the group too, knowing the gathering time in the morning, set an alarm, and thus didn’t arrive late.

At the same time, Liao Xuexue’s grandma also asked her to help bring the suitcases that old Lao Liao should have brought.

Fortunately, these two suitcases were empty, not heavy at all.

That also just explains the scene just now, still another suitcase was completely brought over using Liao Xuexue’s knees.

Ye Chen listened to Liao Xuexue recounting the incident that happened at her home yesterday, while taking the suitcase from her and approaching Old Liao.

"Old Liao, did you forget to take your suitcase this morning?"

"I see Old Li and the others only need to bring one suitcase of gifts, but you have to bring two. Your family status is indeed extraordinary!"

Ye Chen unapologetically exposed Old Liao’s bragging from earlier.

Seeing his granddaughter arrive with three suitcases, Old Liao’s face stiffened, sensing something ominous.

Although young girls nowadays tend to carry a lot of things when they go out, he knew his granddaughter was not like that.

So, these three suitcases, probably at least two of them were brought at his wife’s behest.

Damn, getting up early in the morning before dawn and sneaking out of bed was just to avoid these two suitcases, but unexpectedly, his granddaughter brought them over.

The key point was what Ye Chen said while holding the suitcase in front of Old Liao, completely breaking his facade.

Looking at the mocking eyes of Old Li and the others,

"Old Liao has always been boasting about his family status to us, and today we finally witnessed it."

"Exactly! Such a family status, none of us would even dare to think of!"

Sure enough, the familiar scene returned.

Only the Old Liao who brought back two suitcases of gifts reflected their previous perception of him.

At that moment, Old Liao, with his face flushed, still stubbornly retorted: "What do you know, do you even understand what it means to love your wife!"

"As the head of the household, what’s wrong with liking to bring more gifts for the family?"

Watching Old Liao’s pale explanation, everyone couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

"Good morning, Teacher Ye, and all the elders."

Just as laughter filled the air, He Zeyu also emerged from the police station, carrying bags of photography equipment.

He just came out and saw Ye Chen laughing with a group of old men. Although he wasn’t sure what had happened, he greeted them first.

As for Zhou Xingxing, who was helping carry quite a few pieces of photography equipment and was following behind, panting heavily and barely catching his breath, he couldn’t even greet Ye Chen.

Since Zhou Xingxing was an editor and considered a clerical worker in the police station, he wasn’t used to heavy labor. Fortunately, he usually trained, and today he was particularly eager to show off in front of his idol, Ye Chen, so he carried almost as much equipment as He Zeyu.

However, as soon as Zhou Xingxing put down the equipment in his hands, he immediately rushed towards Ye Chen and excitedly shouted: "Ye, Teacher Ye, we meet again!"

"You’ve worked hard." Ye Chen, seeing his breathless state, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eyes.

"By the way, let me introduce them to you. These two are responsible for the filming at the police station this time, this one is He Zeyu, the photographer, and this one is Zhou Xingxing, the editor, who is also Officer Zhou’s nephew."

Ye Chen introduced them to each other.

Both quickly shook hands with Old Liao and the others since they represented the police station now; they couldn’t afford to lose manners, as it would reflect poorly on the police station.

After the group assembled, they waited for about five or six minutes, and then the chartered bus they had arranged arrived.

Wang Lindong had organized it well; the bus had a capacity of sixteen people, offering ample space and ensuring that there were no issues with seating.

Everyone boarded the chartered bus and set off towards Nan City.

Ye Chen took out his mobile phone to contact Xu Fei, and, reassured that everything was arranged on his end, he finally relaxed.
