93: Okay, stop pretending to be dead.
Yu Zi's message was pushed to the bottom.
Yu Zi: "Water Brother, I'm in C City, want to come see my little home?"
Oh? Is Yu Zi finally getting it?
Ye Ze thought about it. There wasn't much going on these past few days, and he hadn't been to C City yet, so going for a visit was fine.
But before he left, he planned to go see Rou'er.
After she and Mo Mo met last time, they hadn't seen each other again. Her WeChat was full of Rou'er's complaints!
Yes, complaints! Unlike others who were cautious, Zhang Rouer used this method to grab his attention.
However, because her image was too similar to Daiyu, maybe the TV dramas he watched as a child automatically added a filter to this character.
Now, Ye Ze was also willing to indulge Zhang Rouer a bit. After all, this was the live version of...
Zhang Rouer lived with Grandma. He knew the address. Thinking of giving her a surprise, Ye Ze went without telling her.
Arriving at the door, Ye Ze knocked.
No one opened the door. He put his ear to it and listened for a while. Grandma seemed to be making sounds of pain.
Where did Zhang Rouer go? Was Grandma home alone? Where was the caregiver?
Ye Ze knocked harder on the door: "Open the door! Is anyone inside?"
"Is the caregiver there?"
Ye Ze knocked on the door for several more minutes before hurried footsteps were heard from inside.
The person who opened the door was an unfamiliar middle-aged woman. Ye Ze looked her up and down.
The caregiver's neck involuntarily shrank back. The person who came was young, but she didn't expect his gaze to be so sharp.
At this moment, Tian Feng, who was originally waiting downstairs, also hurried up after receiving a WeChat message from Boss.
He looked seriously at the caregiver. When the caregiver saw the tall and strong Tian Feng, she became even more afraid.
Ye Ze spoke: "Where is Zhang Rouer?"
"Not home?"
The caregiver smiled ingratiatingly: "Ah, Rou'er went to buy things for her Grandma."
"Then why did it take you so long to open the door?"
"I was just giving Grandma a bath, I didn't hear it in the bathroom."
Ye Ze gave her a cold glance and exchanged a look with Tian Feng.
Tian Feng immediately understood and guarded the position of the door.
Ye Ze quickly walked into the house. Grandma had indeed just finished her bath. Her hair wasn't even dried and was still dripping water.
He looked at the caregiver with dissatisfaction: "Her hair isn't even dried? Your salary is several times what's offered outside, right? The purpose is for you to take good care of Grandma's daily life and medical needs."
"Is this how you work while receiving a high salary?"
"No, no, no, I just came out and opened the door for you, didn't I?"
Ye Ze took a towel and gently dried Grandma's hair.
Grandma saw that he had come and held his hand: "Xiao Ze is here!"
Ye Ze showed a gentle smile: "Yes, I'm here, Grandma."
He kept the caregiver outside the bedroom and carefully examined Grandma's body.
He had seen similar reports before, where caregivers hired at high prices by younger generations abused the elderly, and they did it very secretly.
They were all in places not usually seen.
Ye Ze gently asked: "Grandma, did she bully you?"
Grandma smiled gently: "It's nothing, it's fine."
Ye Ze's heart tightened, and the violence in his heart surged. He was originally a filial person and couldn't stand this.
His own Grandma passed away early. Rou'er's Grandma was good to him, just like his own Grandma.
"Grandma, don't be afraid, let me see."
Looking closely, there were indeed bruises in several places, such as the inner side of the arm near the armpit outside the vest, and the abdomen.
So what did such a gentle Grandma just suffer that she was in so much pain that a hint could be heard from outside the door?
He found the hairdryer and gently dried Grandma's hair.
The sound of turning was heard from the keyhole. Zhang Rouer was back.
"Grandma, I'm back."
Seeing Tian Feng at the door, Zhang Rouer was stunned for a moment, then realized that this person was inseparable from Brother.
She happily walked towards Grandma's room: "Brother, you're here?"
After entering the room, Ye Ze was still drying Grandma's hair. Hearing her words, he didn't even spare her a glance.
Zhang Rouer was a bit confused. She walked over and put away the things she bought: "Brother, why did you come so early today?"
Ye Ze still didn't respond to her.
This time, Zhang Rouer knew Brother was angry with her, but why was he angry with her?
Was it because she didn't perform well when she met that Xu Momo last time?
But that couldn't be right? Brother even came to her live stream to watch her that night?
Her hair finally dried. Ye Ze helped Grandma lie down and tucked her in.
Grandma held his hand: "Don't blame Rou'er, I just didn't want to trouble Rou'er."
Zhang Rouer was completely confused: "What's wrong? What do you mean you don't want to trouble me?"
Ye Ze smiled: "I know, Grandma." After speaking, he gave Zhang Rouer a look and walked out of the bedroom.
Zhang Rouer went to see Grandma: "Grandma, rest for a while, I'll go see what's going on."
Before Grandma could finish speaking, Zhang Rouer had already closed the bedroom door.
Just after coming out, she saw Ye Ze, who had always been gentle, polite, and doting towards her, say coldly: "Hit her, but don't make it too obvious."
No matter what happened, Tian Feng did exactly as Boss said.
He didn't care about hitting women or not; he just went straight for the caregiver.
The caregiver covered her head and shrieked: "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. I was wrong, I was really wrong. Can't I just return the money?"
"Heh heh, return it? Wouldn't that be letting you off too lightly?"
Zhang Rouer stepped forward: "What exactly happened?"
Ye Ze: "This bastard took our money and abused Grandma! Grandma has bruises on her arms and stomach in several places."
"This old geezer, she's all nice and good in front of you, but as soon as you leave, she abuses Grandma. If I hadn't come this time while you weren't home, Grandma might have suffered even more!"
"Grandma didn't want you to worry, so she kept enduring it!"
"After hiring a caregiver, you've been too careless!"
Zhang Rouer stood there stunned for a while before she could fully process Ye Ze's words: "What?"
She was practically going crazy! She didn't care about anything and just grabbed a stool and smashed it onto the caregiver...
"Motherfucker, I'm going to kill you today!"
"You beast!"
The caregiver was stunned by the hit, grunted, and made a sound of pain.
Ye Ze didn't expect the frail Zhang Rouer to be so fierce when she got angry. He let her vent for a while before stepping forward and picking her up.
"Don't stop me! I'll trade my life for hers today, I'm going to kill her!"
Ye Ze held her in his arms: "Okay, okay, Brother won't let her off easily."
"It's not worth getting yourself into trouble for such a piece of trash!"
Zhang Rouer deflated, tears silently streaming down: "I actually, I actually didn't even notice!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Brother will find you a new and good caregiver, okay?"
Zhang Rouer's mood was difficult to calm down for a long time. Ye Ze sighed, no longer blaming her.
She definitely didn't want to see Grandma uncomfortable more than anyone else.
But as for this beast, she couldn't be let off easily.
Even calling the police wouldn't mean much.
He nudged her with the tip of his foot: "Alright, stop playing dead. Give me the money back first!"
