C19 The Six Treasures Alliance Raised His Family

Ye Jianjia didn't get back to her apartment until late in the evening, and by then, the kiddos had already taken their baths. Zhang Zhe had finished washing their clothes and hung them out to dry on the balcony.

"I've been saying that job was fishy, but you just had to take it on. Those Ye family folks will be the death of you one of these days!" Zhang Zhe exclaimed bitterly. "Your dad is no good, and your sister is just as spiteful!"

Ye Jianjia responded with a serene tone, "Auntie, what haven't I weathered in these past few years? What Ye Qingyun threw at me is hardly the worst. You only find out how things really are after you try. If the job pans out, won't the kiddos have plenty of milk powder?"

However, Zhang Zhe, having heard about her day, was feeling deeply unsettled and snapped, "Exactly! You've been slaving away night and day for years to provide for those six kids. You're chasing money like your life doesn't matter! You'll pay with your life one of these days, and then I, I... I'll be filled with regret for not having stopped you from keeping all six of them!"

As he spoke, Zhang Zhe's eyes welled up with tears that he couldn't hold back.

"I'm not going anywhere—I've still got to stick around to take care of the kiddos, don't I?" Ye Jianjia went over, took Zhang Zhe's hand in hers, and gently wiped away his tears. "You've got to trust me, Auntie. I'm doing well, and our days are only going to get better from here!"

Unbeknownst to them, six little kiddos, freshly dressed by Ms. Liu and eager to see their mom, were listening intently to their conversation from the corners of the balcony.

Ye Jianjia had always shielded the kiddos from her struggles.

To them, their mom was always cheerful and full of laughter. But now, they realized that she was often mistreated and was even risking her life to make ends meet!

The kiddos stealthily retreated to the living room, exchanging knowing glances before huddling together to whisper among themselves.

The girls grabbed the cordless phone and tiptoed back to their princess-themed room.

Meanwhile, the boys teamed up to move a laptop from the living room and took it to their own children's room.

"Uncle Ye!" Ye Yisi expertly dialed the number she had committed to memory and called Ye Su, who was still overseas.

"Is that you, Yisi?" The man's voice was tender and indulgent, "Uncle will be back home in a few days. Are you excited?"

"Very excited!" After responding, Ye Yisi passed the cordless phone to her sisters.

The three darlings each took their turn speaking with Ye Su, their voices so sweet and endearing that Ye Su wished he could fly back that very moment.

Ye Yisi declared, "Uncle Ye, Yiwu, and I have decided we want to join you on that 'My Cute Babies' show you talked about before!"

To outsiders, all six kiddos were the offspring of Ye Su and his former wife, Alna.

It was common knowledge in the entertainment world that Ye Su had been married and had children, though the children's exact circumstances had never been publicized.

"This... your mother disagrees." Ye Su had already discussed the variety show with Ye Jianjia.

"Uncle Ye." The adorable Sixth took the phone, her voice so tender it melted hearts, "Mom has been working so hard to take care of us. She's going to be worn out. We've decided we want to help earn money to support the family and take care of her!"

"Yes, Uncle Ye, we'll join the show with you in secret and not tell Mom just yet!"

Ye Su remained silent.

"Uncle Ye... please say yes!"

"Uncle Ye, Mom is struggling so much raising us all by herself. She's going to collapse from exhaustion. You have to agree!"

"Uncle Ye, we can't bear the thought of losing Mom!"

The show was set to be recorded domestically, focusing on everyday family affection. However, Ye Jianjia was deeply concerned that the kiddos, once in the public eye, could be harmed. She preferred to endure hardship herself rather than expose them to the limelight.

Nevertheless, given Ye Su's standing in the industry, he was more than capable of safeguarding the kiddos.

At last, Ye Su conceded, "Alright, Uncle agrees to your plan."
