Su Hongxing was a person who went with the flow. In such a complicated environment, she was still able to take her time.

After being surrounded by everyone for a while, she was a little sleepy and dazed. At this moment, a servant walked up to her. “Miss Su, Madam wants to see you.”

Su Hongxing followed the servant out of the living room in a daze.

She was wondering who was the Madam the servant was talking about.

Today, when she came to the Ye Family, she found out that the Ye Family was full of people and had a big business. Elder Ye was a general-level figure, and the children of the Ye Family were all promising.

No wonder Mo Qiu and Xiao Le looked so proud when they mentioned Ye Qilan. They were infatuated with Ye Qilan not only because of his outstanding looks but also because of his unparalleled family background.

It was laughable that an ordinary woman like her was lucky enough to marry into a noble family like the Ye family. It was a miracle.

The servant led Su Hongxing to the back garden and quietly left.

Su Hongxing stood at the entrance of the garden and saw a white figure in front of her. Just by looking at the woman’s back, she knew that she was a beauty.

And the servant had just said that Madam wanted to see her. Was this the so-called Madam?

As if sensing her gaze, the woman looked back between the blooming flowers. It was a plain face, not as radiant as she had imagined.

“Miss Su, this way please.” The woman smiled sweetly at Su Hongxing. This smile instantly made her face lively.

Su Hongxing was slightly stunned. She vaguely felt that this woman’s smile was a little familiar.

After thinking about it carefully, she finally understood that the woman looked a little like Mo Qiu when she smiled.

“You are?” Su Hongxing fixed her gaze on the woman’s smile.

The woman smiled brightly. “I’m Ye Yanhong’s wife, Du Qingyu.”

Su Hongxing secretly wondered who Ye Yanhong was.

Perhaps knowing her doubts, Du Qingyu added, “Yanhong is Qilan’s father.”

Su Hongxing nodded in understanding.

She suddenly understood that Du Qingyu was Ye Yanhong’s wife. In other words, she was Ye Qilan’s stepmother.

Moreover, she was a young and beautiful stepmother.

“Yanhong was busy today and isn’t at home. It’s your first time coming to the old residence, so I’ll bring you around. Miss Su, this way please.” Du Qingyu walked in front and led the way out of the back garden.

Su Hongxing quietly followed behind Du Qingyu.

Interestingly, the way Du Qingyu addressed her was a little interesting. She was Ye Qilan’s wife. No matter what, Du Qingyu should not call her Miss Su.

The words “Miss Su” widened the distance between them.

The two women had their own thoughts and unknowingly walked to the swimming pool.

“How did you and Qilan meet?” Du Qingyu smiled at Su Hongxing.

Su Hongxing pursed her lips. “The process of me meeting him isn’t very interesting. There’s no need to talk about it.”

She could not possibly tell Du Qingyu how she and Ye Qilan knew each other. Until now, she still did not know who sent her to Ye Qilan.

Perhaps there was a pair of eyes watching her every move behind the scenes.

What she could not understand was why the other party would send her to Ye Qilan, and why Ye Qilan, who had countless admirers, would choose her as his wife.

She didn’t have the looks, nor did she have the figure. In terms of temperament, she couldn’t even compare to Mo Qiu’s finger.

Therefore, no matter how she thought about it, this was a very strange thing.
