"Was it me? We've been working together for days, and when she, Steward Ye, comes back, she gives us a hard time. And you, you worthless thing, want to drink in the middle of the day? Where did you go last night? "
Huang Lirong became angry as she spoke, poking at Ye Qiu Ran's first finger. She knew how to put on an act in front of others, so she didn't try to hide it now.
After struggling to get rid of Huang Lirong, Ye Qiu walked unsteadily to the door and opened it.
"I'm going to sleep, you guys go out first."
"You still have a temper!?" I'm your mom, so what if I say something to you? Don't think that I don't know about it, and that you're still in contact with that Lu Family lackey? Do you know how shameful it is right now! "
Huang Lirong said as she wanted to move forward to pull him away, but Ye Qiu Rong coldly avoided her.
"I still don't know how embarrassing it is. If I had a dad like Big Uncle, I would be able to sleep peacefully like that useless Steward Ye. But I don't, I can only rely on my own hard work to get what I want."
Originally, because Lu Mingye hadn't come out for the entire night, Ye Qiu Ran had been frustrated. She had always sent Lu Heng to stall her, always like this!
One Lu Mingye wasn't enough for her to worry about. When she returned home, she had absolutely no intention of dealing with these parents.
"Ran, what are you talking about!"
Ye Jian was so angry by Ye Qiu Ran that he was out of breath. He started coughing and what he got in return was just her rolling her eyes.
"Spare me the worry. In the short term, I must get Lu Mingye to marry me into the city. Otherwise, I won't be able to stay here in A City."
He opened the door. Ye Qiu Ran's eyes were filled with a fierce light. She no longer looked like she was begging for mercy in the living room.
Huang Lirong and Ye Qiu both tacitly agreed. She too felt that her husband was disappointing and coldly snorted before leaving.
Inside the room, only Ye Qiu Ran was sitting on the edge of the bed with her hands on her forehead. She held the phone until it was dead silent, until it completely swallowed her up.
Downstairs, the family was already happily seated at the dining table. Madam Liu noticed that her master was unhappy, so she asked.
"Old master, should we invite the second young mistress and the others over for dinner as well?"
In the end, today was still a festive day. Although hearing them argue outside the door wasn't really clear, the news about Second Miss' matter had already spread among the servants in the house.
Some people said that they had followed her on the day of the wedding and happened to see those unbearable scenes. They did not expect the usually quiet Second Miss to be such a person.
Ye Guo subconsciously glanced at Supervisor Ye. He saw her eating with Lu Jin Ting as if nothing had happened. From time to time, they would even play around with Ye Qian Cheng. Thus, he nodded in agreement.
"Send someone to get it."
"Dad," Supervisor Ye put down the chopsticks in his hand, "I'm not trying to turn the tables today, I'm really angry. Cousin did such a shameful thing, do you still want them to stay in our house?"
Hearing her words, Ye Guo's face immediately turned red.
"Who cares what sort of words you say. Regardless of whether or not you're married off, this family will forever be yours. Who's the guest? No one is the guest."
Seeing that his father still cared for him, Chief Steward Ye looked much more relaxed as he sighed.
"I know, my mother passed away early. Second Uncle's family accompanied me since I was young. I once had feelings for them, but …"
There were some things that she couldn't say directly. No matter what, it was impossible for her father to believe that her own brother had ulterior motives.
Ye Qiancheng sat at the side and thought of the words she whispered on his back the day she got married and carried him on her back before she got on the wedding cart.
He had to be careful of Lu Mingye and Ye Qiu Ran. Lu Mingye, that little rascal, was his own brother. This time, he had truly let him down, but Ye Qiu Ran …
She had always been a good girl, but today was the first time Ye Qiucheng saw her lose her manners in front of an adult.
Perhaps they had really been tricked by Lu Mingye, or perhaps there was some other secret behind the matter. But no matter what, they had been caught in the shadows.
"Little Zheng, stop trying to force dad. We can't let dad reach an age where he can still be disloyal and unrighteous. As for Qiu Ran, I'll pay attention to that."
He nodded towards Ye Guan, indicating that he should take her words to heart. She didn't need to worry too much about it.
Previously, Ye Zizai had absolute trust in Ye Qiucheng, but ever since Meng Wanru appeared beside him, she felt that the entire Ye Family was at the mercy of the night rain.
"Then I'll be troubling Big Bro."
Without waiting for Supervisor Ye to respond, Lu Jin Ting had already answered in her place.
Today's incident made her very unhappy. Although he didn't get too involved with her, he could clearly see her emotions. He still liked her innocently smiling at him, rather than worrying about such trivial matters.
In the blink of an eye, Huang Lirong and Ye Jian appeared again, keeping their distance from Ye Guan. They seemed to be trying to curry favor with Ye Guo.
Ye Guan raised his glass and toasted a glass of red wine towards Ye Jian.
Second Uncle, it's not that I'm stingy, it's just that that matter was too important to me. Now that it's settled, I've found my own happiness, so I won't pursue the matter any further. But Lu Mingye isn't a good person.
After she finished speaking, she lightly pursed her lips and only took a sip before placing the wine cup down.
Seeing her take the initiative to express her goodwill, Ye Jian did not hold back anymore and hurriedly raised his glass in response.
"It's just a misunderstanding. There are some things we haven't figured out yet. Maybe it's the Lu family's kid's fault. We're family, we can't harm each other."
With a smile that didn't touch the flesh, Ye Guan moved his red lips, but did not spare anyone.
"You can't say that. Second Uncle, my family's officers are also from the Lu family. You can't just say that."
Huang Lirong immediately added, "You've only been married for a few days and you're already a stranger. How can I control you …"
As a joke, Huang Lirong's single sentence actually caused the atmosphere at the table to become extremely awkward. Lu Jin Ting also sat there, not saying anything. The atmosphere had frozen for a moment.
"One family, let's not talk about two families. Let's eat."
In the end, Ye came out to smooth things over, so that the meal could go on.
The dishes that Aunt Liu cooked were the ones that the steward liked to eat when he was at home. She punished Ye Qiu Ran and her mood was quite good, so she ate more.
After the tea break, the family planted the red pine tree. Lu Jin Ting acted as the No. 1 contestant for Ye Guo, while Ye Qian City watered the entire area. The three men were extremely busy, and their relationship was finally no longer as tense.
Before he knew it, it was already late. Before he left, Ye Country's Lu Jin Ting spoke to him alone.
Chief Steward Ye sat in the car and waited. He only saw two or three cigarette butts flickering under the orange light outside his house. After a long time, when she was about to fall asleep, Lu Jin Ting finally came back to her side.
