"Hm." The old woman narrowed her eyes and sized her up. "Little girl, can you help me with something?"

"Oh, go ahead."

"My reading glasses are on top of that, can you help me take them off? I can't see without reading glasses. " the old woman said.

"Of course." Pei Qingcheng looked around, "Where are your reading glasses?"

The old lady pointed at the top of her head, and Pei Qingcheng followed the direction of her finger and looked towards the tree, flabbergasted.

In the light of the lanterns, she saw a pair of shiny glasses on a tall branch.

So it was there, but why was the reading glasses on the tree?

Before Pei Qingcheng could ask, the old lady pulled her towards the tree trunk, "Can you help me take it down? Without my glasses, I was like a blind person and almost fell into the ditch."

Where did the Ye Family come from?

Did this old woman mean for Pei Qingcheng to climb trees?

She looked down at her skirt and high heels before saying to the old lady, "Why don't I find someone to help you get them, or bring a ladder?"

"Who would have the time to bother about Madam Ye's birthday!" The old woman was unhappy and pursed her lips.

When you're old, you're a bit like a kid.

Pei Qingcheng looked at the old lady, and felt that she resembled her grandmother.

Grandma later got senile dementia, and sometimes she was very much like a bothersome child.

So, perhaps even though this old lady was dressed in luxurious clothes, she might still have some sort of senile dementia?

Pei Qingcheng looked around her surroundings. However, she did not have enough servants today. Furthermore, she had brought the waiters from a hotel in the Ye family over, so she was afraid that she did not have the time to bother with this old lady.

Anyway, she almost made a fool of herself today.

She thought for a moment, then took off her high heels, tied a knot on her skirt, and climbed up while hugging the tree trunk.

Pei Qingcheng knew how to climb trees, and had been like a boy since she was young. When she was young, she had climbed every tree in the garden of her house.

Very quickly, Pei Qingcheng reached the top of the tree, and her reading glasses were right in front of her.

She reached out her hand to take it, then took off her reading glasses.

The old woman tilted her head back under the tree, laughing until her eyes were like slits.

Five minutes later, Pei Qingcheng climbed down from the tree and passed her reading glasses to the old lady, "Here you go."

"Thank you, little girl. Don't look so cultured and gentle. It's quite nimble to climb trees." The old woman happily took the reading glasses and put them on her face. "Oh, little girl, you're so beautiful!"

Just now, she hadn't been able to clearly see what Pei Qingcheng looked like.

Pei Qingcheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She supported herself up with the tree trunk and put on her high heels before putting down her skirt and saying to the Old Granny: "Then I'll be leaving first."

"Little girl, can you help me with another matter?"

"Huh?"

"My woolen shawl is also on the tree!" The old woman pointed again to the tree above her head.

Pei Qingcheng raised her head again, and indeed, she saw a light curled-up woolen shawl on the other branch of the tree.

It was not too far from the branch that held the reading glasses, but Pei Qingcheng did not notice.

She looked at the old woman helplessly. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You have to say everything one by one. You have to do things one by one." The old lady spoke seriously.

From the looks of it, he was indeed showing signs of dementia.

What should he do? Just got off the tree, and again?

Seeing the zeal in the old lady's eyes, Pei Qingcheng had no choice but to take off her high heels, tie up her skirt and climb up the tree again.

The old lady clapped under the tree. "Go for it! Go for it!"

She still tried her best not to call people over.

He had let others see that once the number one young lady of Mo City, Pei Qingcheng, was actually climbing trees at his house?

Besides, she had another identity. Ye Wen's wife.

If word of this got out, perhaps Madame Ye would hate her even more.

Pei Qingcheng was already sweating profusely after getting her woolen shawl, so she took off her coat and tossed it down the tree.

She handed the shawl to the old woman, who panted and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

The old lady raised her head and looked at her. "Such a natural beauty. Even when you use all your strength to wipe off your sweat, your forehead is still white. It's clear that you didn't do this much."

Should Pei Qingcheng praise her observation?

"The shawl is for you. You should go back to the hall. It's cold outside." Pei Qingcheng really had to leave. After being tossed around by the Old Granny, she no longer felt so bad about it.

"Little girl, can you do me another favor?" Just as Pei Qingcheng turned around, she heard the old lady's words.

When Pei Qingcheng heard this, cold sweat broke out all over her body.

Could it be that the old lady wanted her to climb the tree again?

She turned unsteadily and looked at the smiling old lady.

Why did he feel that her smile was so evil?

The old lady giggled, "He's old and has a bad memory. Don't you remember how he left the main hall? Can you send me there?"

Pei Qingcheng heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, she was not climbing a tree.

However, wasn't the Ye family's mansion right in front of them?

Pei Qingcheng pointed at the brightly lit mansion, "Look, just follow this path."

"I don't recognize him." The old lady shook her head like a rattle.

Pei Qingcheng sighed. It seemed that if she wasn't allowed to see the Old Granny off, she wouldn't let the matter rest that easily.

In any case, the tree had climbed twice, so why should he be afraid of sending the old lady for a few steps?

Pei Qingcheng supported the old lady's arm, "Then, let's go. Let me help you."

In the main hall of Ye family's house, the fireworks were already released and the cake was about to be cut.

Madam Ye was chatting happily with her friends. Shen Kui walked over and reminded her softly, "Aunt, it's almost time to cut the cake."

"Alright." Madam Ye smiled and stood up from the sofa. "Come, let's cut the cake together."

After a few steps, a girl squeezed in front of her. She held a small box in her hand, which she held high in front of Madam Ye. "Madam Ye, I wish you a happy birthday. This is a gift that I've meticulously chosen for you!"

Startled, Mrs. Ye shrank back.

Shen Li whispered in her ear, "It's the Tang Clan's second young miss, Tang Kexin."

"Oh." Madam Ye was still in a state of shock as she gave a smile. "Oh, it's Miss Tang. You're quite considerate."

Shen Kui took Tang Kexin's gift, but Madam Ye did not immediately take it apart.

Tang Ke's heart was smiling brilliantly. "Madam Ye, I've long heard from Qingcheng that you're a noble and devastatingly beautiful woman. It looks like it's true today."

It was unknown if it was intentional or not, but Tang Kexin mentioned Pei Qingcheng's name.

Madam Ye's smile immediately froze. Tang Kexin had seen all of it.

Tang Kexin could guess one or two things just by looking at Madam Ye's expression.

Madam Ye did not like Pei Qingcheng very much.

"Miss Tang, please don't be so polite. We'll cut the cake soon. Eat more." Madam Ye casually said a few words of courtesy before walking to the center of the hall.

However, Tang Ke followed closely behind, "Of course, of course. I must eat more to help Mo Qingcheng eat her share as well."

Madam Ye finally understood the essence of her words. "Help Mo Qingcheng eat them?"

"Oh, yes, she's gone!" Tang Kexin opened her eyes wide and said, "I might feel bored staying, so I'll be leaving!"

Madam Ye looked around her. From the very beginning, she had not seen Pei Qingcheng at all.

At this moment, Ye Wen walked down from the stairs. By his side, there was only Ding Han, and no sign of Pei Qingcheng.

Madam Ye's expression immediately darkened.

Although the outside world didn't know much about Ye Wen and Pei Qingcheng's relationship.

Not many of the guests knew that Pei Qingcheng was her daughter-in-law.

Although Madam Ye did not want to admit it, it was a different story for Pei Qingcheng to leave without even greeting her.

It was obvious that he didn't respect her and didn't place any importance on her.

Since he didn't want to come, he might as well not come tonight. Why did he leave after coming for so long?

Madam Ye's expression turned ugly. Although she quickly regained her composure, Tang Kexin could tell with a single glance that she was displeased.

She affectionately took Madame Ye's arm. "Madame Ye, let's cut the cake!"

It was as though Pei Qingcheng could become the daughter-in-law of Madam Ye without her.

Shen Li hid his face from Tang Kexin's hand and said with a smile, "Miss Tang, please stay here and wait for the cake to be distributed."

With that, Shen Li and Madam Ye walked to the center of the hall.

Tang Ke's heart was filled with embarrassment as he stood on the spot.

Shen Cui didn't give her any face at all. The opportunity to get close to Madam Ye had been ruined.

However, at least he had sent a message to Madam Ye.

Pei Qingcheng did not even put her in her eyes, and only showed her face before leaving.

She smiled triumphantly and looked back.

Suddenly, he froze.

Because she was enveloped in a cold gaze, as if she was frozen in an ice pillar, the temperature of her body rapidly dropped.

That person was none other than Ye Xiu.

He stood beside Madame Ye, the light of the luxurious crystal lamp above his head shining on the top of his head.

It was as though a deity had descended from the heavens, able to kill her with just his gaze.

Even though she wanted to see his face day and night, her eyes were too cold, as if they contained content. They were like two sharp swords that could pierce Tang Kexin's chest and dig out her heart to take a look.

Tang Ke panicked and immediately buried his head.

Her fingers were trembling with cold. The main hall of Ye's house was as warm as spring.

However, no matter what, the impression that Pei Qingcheng had in Madam Ye's heart today was all for naught.

The corners of Tang Kexin's lips curled up into a smile.

Shen Li handed the kitchen knife to Madam Ye. "I've cut the cake, Aunt."

Holding her kitchen knife, Madam Ye glanced at her son who stood straight as a tree, and asked casually, "Am I going to cut it just like that?" Not waiting for my daughter-in-law? "

"Cut it. Qing Qing doesn't like this kind of light cream." Nightingale said casually.

Madam Ye could not help but frown. "What, you don't like me using this kind of cake to insult your wife?"

Shen Lo was listening at the side, smiling as he tried to smooth things over. "Aunt, the guests are all waiting!"

The large living room was filled to the brim with people singing their birthday songs while looking at Lady Ye.

In front of so many people, Madam Ye could only smile. At the same time, Mr. Ye also said, "Cut it out!"

Lady Ye picked up her kitchen knife and prepared to cut the cake.

Suddenly, a voice came from the door, full of vigor.

"My daughter-in-law, did you cut the cake without waiting for me?"
