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

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

The crowd looked towards the door and saw a graceful old woman standing there. Beside her, there was a girl that looked like a celestial fairy.

There were too many guests, but Madam Ye had neglected the Old Granny.

However, the old lady always liked to run around alone. Just now, before she cut the cake, she had sent Butler Hu to look for her.

Madam Ye smiled and hurried over to the old lady. "Mom, cut it together with me."

After speaking, she glanced at Pei Qingcheng, who was supporting the Old Granny.

Pei Qingcheng was startled. She had never expected that this old woman who loved to tease people was actually the granny of Ye Xiu, the mother-in-law of Madam Ye!

Then, wouldn't she have to call her grandmother as well?

Old Lady Ye patted the back of Pei Qingcheng's hand and suddenly grabbed Pei Qingcheng's hand and placed her into Madam Ye's palm. "My old arms and legs are trembling as I cut off the cake. Let this beautiful little girl chop it up with you."

Since the Old Granny had spoken, it was impossible for Madam Ye to refuse.

Smiling, she took Pei Qingcheng's hand and walked to the side of the cake.

Pei Qingcheng's finger felt slightly cold as Madam Ye stared at her without batting an eyelid, "Miss Pei, why are your hands so cold?"

Pei Qingcheng smiled and did not reply. She was originally planning to leave, but when she bumped into Old Lady Ye, she was brought back.

She noticed that everyone present was looking at her curiously.

Very few people knew about her and Ye Wen's relationship, so a girl suddenly appeared by Madam Ye's side. Everyone was trying to guess her identity.

Pei Qingcheng lightly bit her lower lip. She didn't wish for too many people to know about the relationship between her and Ye Wen.

However, Madam Ye did not reveal her identity to the crowd.

Madam Ye smiled and held onto Pei Qingcheng's hand, "Cut it together!"

Pei Qingcheng knew that it was not because she was willing, but because there was nothing she could do.

Actually, Pei Qingcheng did not want to stay here any longer.

She wanted to withdraw her hand and say to Mrs. Ye that she was not the kind of person who would squeeze her head out of her way to enter Ye's house, but also wanted to show good will to Mrs. Ye.

But when she raised her head, she saw Tang Kexin. She stared at her with eyes full of hatred and jealousy.

It was the first time that Pei Qingcheng had seen such a light in Tang Kexin's eyes. It was as though she had become a stranger.

Or perhaps, ten years ago, when she was still a child, whenever she had something good, her eyes would shine with a light like this.

Perhaps, Tang Kexin hadn't changed at all.

Pei Qingcheng suddenly understood why Tang Kexin wanted to harm her.

She wanted something that only Pei Qingcheng had, while she, Tang Ke, did not.

She wanted to be tired.

Pei Qingcheng remembered that when Tang Kexin had just started walking around with her, it was also when she first met Yin Ha and Ye Wen.

Tang Ke knew in his heart that she and Ye Yan were studying in the same university. He also really wanted to take the exam, but after a few years, she still hadn't been able to do so.

It seemed that from that time onwards, Tang Kexin would frequently look for Pei Qingcheng to play with.

Pei Qingcheng finally understood why Tang Kexin would always disappear whenever she needed help. The only time she had helped her was the day they had gotten married.

Tang Kexin was the bridesmaid of honor, she had always encouraged Pei Qingcheng to leave her slumber and not stay with her enemies.

That night, Tang Kexin met up with Pei Qingcheng outside Zhuang Shengxiao's Dream Gate. After that, she left the Mo City for London to play for two weeks. In those few days, she had taken all of Pei Qingcheng's cellphones.

At that time, Pei Qingcheng didn't think too much about it. After all, she didn't want anyone to find her.

Now that she thought of it, it was all because Tang Kexin did not want Ye Xiu to find her.

Very funny, very sad.

She had always been a friend to someone who had never considered her a friend.

She only felt that Tang Ke was about to approach Ye Wen's springboard.

Pei Qingcheng smiled at Tang Kexin's face, which was intertwined with jealousy and hatred.

She had torn Pei Qingcheng's clothes, and wanted to humiliate her.

Although she did not make a fool of herself in public, she would definitely make Madam Ye unhappy if she left without saying goodbye.

Fortunately, he had met with Madam Ye in the garden and brought her back with him, so he didn't let her have a bad impression of him.

Even though Pei Qingcheng didn't really care about the impression the members of the Ye Clan had of her.

But she didn't want Tang Ke to succeed.

Pei Qingcheng moved closer to Madam Ye and held her arm affectionately with one hand while the other hand slowly cut the cake with her other hand.

The moment the cake was lightly sliced into the beautiful sugar cake, all the guests in the hall were cheering softly.

Pei Qingcheng glanced at Tang Kexin, her expression extremely unsightly to behold.

Pei Qingcheng was completely assured, and Tang Kexin had never once treated her as a friend.

If she was a friend, she would be happy for Pei Qingcheng and not this expression of hers.

Hence, the smile on Pei Qingcheng's face was even more enchanting and relaxed.

The guests below were whispering, "Isn't that the second son of the Pei Family? Why was he at Ye Xiu's house? And cut the cake with Madame Ye? "

"Yeah, who knows?"

"Did you hear? Ten minutes after the Pei family was going to close down, a consortium poured in some money. Do you think it was the Ye family?"

"I heard that Pei Qingcheng and Director Ye had an engagement two years ago. I wonder if that's true?"

The women beside Tang Kexin were muttering to themselves. There was even one who tugged at her sleeve, "Isn't this Miss Tang? Aren't you and Pei Qingcheng good friends? "

Tang Kexin's face was as cold as frost as she stared at the stage.

"Hey, what is the relationship between Pei Qingcheng and the Ye Clan? "Is she the wife of Director Ye?" a woman asked.

Tang Kexin finally turned her head and with an extremely ugly expression, she asked, "Miss Gu, are you here to attend the banquet, or are you here to gossip?"

That Miss Gu was stunned. "Why are you being so mean?"

Tang Ke Xin took her hand and left.

"Hey, Tang Kexin is really mysterious." Miss Gu said to the woman next to her, "You can't even ask me a few questions!"

"From what I see, it's because my good friend beside me has an unusual relationship with the Ye Family. She even cut the cake with Madam Ye. That's why I'm so jealous!"

"I think so!"

After cutting the cake, Shen Cui helped the guests share it, and Pei Qingcheng was prepared to help as well.

Just as he picked up a paper plate, he was grabbed by his wrist.

Puzzled, she looked up. Nightingale put down the plate in her hand and took her hand. "Go rest on the sofa over there."

"I'm not tired." It's just a cake, that's all.

"You didn't do that sort of thing." Nightingale pulled her to the edge of the sofa and pressed her down, "You haven't eaten yet tonight. I'll get the kitchen to prepare some food for you."

Pei Qingcheng was truly a little hungry, and did not decline.

After a while, Housekeeper Hu came with a tray.

There were several small cups inside. There were sweet dishes and bird's nest, while the soup and water inside looked quite appetizing.

Pei Qingcheng thanked Steward Hu before taking her time to eat in a corner of the main hall.

Old Granny Ye was in the middle of a conversation with a few guests when she noticed that Pei Qingcheng was eating something. She then approached her with a smile.

Who knew that after just two steps, someone would place a hand on his shoulder and say, "Old granny, please hold on."

When he turned around, he saw that it was his own grandson, Ye Wen.

"What is it? After being here for so long, you finally showed yourself in front of me? " Old Lady Ye patted the back of her hand and pretended to be angry.

"Then, let me talk with you." Ye Wen gently held on to Old Lady Ye's arm.

"What are you borrowing? I want to chat with this pretty girl." the old lady said.

"Qing Qing just ate, don't disturb her."

"Hmm?" Every time she wanted to study his face, she would always lift her head up high. Why did he have to grow so tall? However, the tall one she fed herself could only recognize, "Tsk, tsk, I've never heard my grandson speak so gently before. Who is that pretty girl?"

"I don't even recognize my daughter-in-law anymore." Ye Wen remained calm and collected.

The old lady immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes, "I say, this is the first time I'm bringing a girl home. Looks like I've taken care of your beloved wife. My good grandson is indeed formidable!" The old lady heavily patted Ye Wen's tired arm. "Alright, alright, alright. I like this girl!"

"Old lady." Ye Wen's face was expressionless, but there was a trace of displeasure in his eyes. "You must have tortured her to such an extent that she's not bad, right?"

The old lady immediately pretended to be deaf and mute, and her eyes widened innocently, "What? "Sigh, I'm getting old and I can't hear anymore. I'm going to rest."

"Old lady." He stood in front of her. His grandmother was a naughty child, and he knew it too well.

However, just now, when Pei Qingcheng was running away in a fit of rage, she never expected to meet the old lady in the garden. She would never have expected that the old lady would use such a despicable method to test Pei Qingcheng.

Ye Wen had just received Ding Han's report and also saw the video of Pei Qingcheng climbing a tree barefooted.

The Pei Qingcheng in his memories were all like fairies.

The one who climbed the tree today was none other than her.

Like a child, they had the spirits of young girls and the innocence of a child.

In short, all the actions of Pei Qingcheng were perfect in Ye Xiwen's tired eyes.

However, it was such a cold day, climbing a tree with bare feet, and the trunk of the tree was so rough.

Ye Wen felt his heart ache.

Therefore, when facing his biological grandmother, his expression was not that good either.

"Madame." Ding Han appeared out of nowhere, smiling and bowing to Old Lady Ye, "You are really getting younger as you live. Your reading glasses and shawl have all gone up the tree."

"You brat." The old lady stretched out her hand and hit Ding Han a few times. "Did you use that surveillance camera to take pictures of me again?"

"Of course, there's no blind spot at 360 degrees." Ding Han said with a mischievous smile.

Only the Old Granny could torment Pei Qingcheng like this. If it was anyone else, Ye Wen would have already acted up.

When Ding Han showed Ye Xiu the video earlier, his tired expression gave him a fright.

However, Madam Ye could not scold him. She could only tease him with a smile. He was almost dead from exhaustion as a special assistant.

Ding Han supported the madame towards the door. "Madam, I heard that the tangerines in our Western Garden are ripe?" Can you take me to have a look and pick two to satisfy my craving? "

That orange tree was planted with Old Master Ye in the past, and no matter how many years had passed, it had never borne fruit. This year, however, it bore fruit. The Old Granny was very happy and showed off her skills to anyone she saw.

The old lady was so happy at the mention of the orange tree that she forgot to harass Pei Qingcheng. She happily pulled Ding Han towards the door.

Walking out of the room, Ding Han wiped off his sweat and stealthily turned around to take a look.

Their master was standing by the side, holding a cocktail in her hands, but her eyes were focused on Pei Qingcheng.

Sigh, what a sinner, what a sinner.
