Chapter 309: Chapter 309

Ye Qian came to the Liu Family hoping to make Aunt Wu happy for one reason; after all, if she wanted to be with Liu Zhiyuan, she had to get his family to like her first. After chatting for a while, Ye Qian finally shifted the conversation to Liu Zhiyuan and his siblings.

"Aunt Wu, why don’t I see Xiao Rui and Brother Zhiyuan?" Although Ye Qian exuded the aura of a mature woman, her pure eyes still made her look like a child.

Wu Mengyi liked her at first glance and laughed, "The siblings are up to something in the room. They’re in Xiao Rui’s room; you can go take a look."

Ye Qian wasn’t pretentious and stood up graciously, "Then I’ll go take a look and come back to report to Auntie."

Wu Mengyi also laughed. After Ye Qian entered her daughter’s room and closed the door, she said to Bai Xue sitting on the sofa, "This child has stayed in the military for nearly two years, but her nature hasn’t changed. She’s a good kid."

"That’s thanks to your care. Otherwise, how could such a delicate girl do well in the military?" Bai Xue spoke nicely, then lowered her voice, "Has your Zhiyuan come back and told you about things at school?"

Wu Mengyi could tell something was up and put away her smile, "What happened?"

Bai Xue hesitated for a moment, "I shouldn’t meddle, but since I’ve watched this child grow up, and you also hope for him to be well. Didn’t the child come to my house today to deliver something? I saw that he and Lingzi aren’t ordinary. If such an age, something happens while they’re away, we can’t control it."

Speaking of this, Bai Xue looked regretful, "If only my Lingzi was ambitious; if they had something, I’d be happy to see it. But as you know, once that child causes trouble, it always involves those around. Didn’t your Zhiyuan get taken to the police station before? Who wants to admit their kid is bad? It’s not that the child can’t be helped."

Bai Xue looked like a distressed mother.

Wu Mengyi took it seriously. Her son had suddenly said he wanted to visit the Ye Family in the morning and even asked her to prepare things. She found it strange but thought her son was being thoughtful when he mentioned Ye He Ping was sick and it happened to be New Year. Now hearing Bai Xue’s words, wasn’t her son’s intent not in the wine?

She used to fancy Ye Qian, but Bai Xue became increasingly outrageous as a mother, and Wu Mengyi shelved that thought. She really couldn’t see eye to eye with Ye Family’s eldest daughter.

Bai Xue noticed Wu Mengyi’s face darken, felt happy inside, and outwardly showed concern, "Kids have their own opinions once they grow up. They won’t listen to us. If it weren’t for Ye Qian’s observance, I wouldn’t have known."

She didn’t forget to praise her younger daughter in the end.

Wu Mengyi showed nothing on the surface but sneered inside. How could she not understand Bai Xue’s intentions? But what would happen if her son really had something with Ye Ling and as a mother, she drove them apart? Her son wouldn’t accept a sister interested in him.

"Yes, children grow up and are beyond their mothers. Let them mess around as they like; we can’t manage them, so it’s better to pretend we didn’t see it." Wu Mengyi laughed powerlessly, "We can just focus on having grandchildren in the future."

Bai Xue never expected Wu Mengyi to say this and couldn’t fathom her thinking, so she smiled, "You have a son, but I only have daughters. I just hope she marries someone good to her, that’s all."

She said ’she’ instead of ’them.’

How could Wu Mengyi not hear it? She furrowed her brows, thought of her son’s morning comments on Bai Xue’s favoritism, and saw Bai Xue’s indifference outside; clearly, she doesn’t care about others’ words anymore. Ultimately, it’s petty.

"She will be. Ye Qian’s a good kid with a good character. She won’t go wrong in the future." Wu Mengyi didn’t say much else.

In the bedroom, Liu Rui was delighted to see Ye Qian, immediately abandoning her brother to chat, "My brother said this morning that he just found out you were back and wanted to visit you this afternoon, but here you are. How’s it going in the army?"

"Pretty good, with your mom taking care, nobody could bully me," Ye Qian praised Wu Mengyi, but she spoke truthfully. She turned to look at Liu Zhiyuan, "Brother Zhiyuan, what are you and Xiao Rui doing in the room? Keeping secrets?"

Liu Rui laughed, "It’s nothing. I’m not in a teacher’s college? There’s a bilingual speech contest when school starts, and I got my brother to help me write my script."

Ye Qian nodded and smiled, "Then you guys get busy. I’ll just watch from the side and not disturb your important work."

Liu Rui was not polite; she pulled her brother over to continue helping with the script, occasionally offering pointers. Meanwhile, Ye Qian watched, eyes growing dim. Her studies were poor; the Liu siblings were working on an English script. She only recognized a few words. If Ye Ling were here, she would know them all. Seeing the siblings’ intense discussion, Ye Qian felt even more out of place, unable to fit in. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel_fіre.net

When Ye Qian left the Liu Family, she seemed very quiet, and Bai Xue’s mood wasn’t good either. Wu Mengyi was clearly less friendly to her family than before, which Bai Xue noticed.

Ye Qian and Bai Xue looked over. Ye Qian perked up and smiled, "You didn’t go to the company for New Year either?"

Sun Mingjie was delighted to see Ye Qian; he approached with a smile and greeted Bai Xue, "Hello, Auntie."

Then he replied to Ye Qian, "Yes, my parents wanted to spend it with me alone this year. After all, it’s been half a year away from home. Did you just come from the Liu Family?"

Bai Xue, seeing her daughter in high spirits, smiled, "You two go ahead and chat; I’m heading home."

Sun Mingjie was naturally happy and made polite exchanges with Bai Xue before turning back to Ye Qian, full of concern, "Are you getting used to life in the military?"

Ye Qian didn’t hide it and gave a wry smile, "Even if I’m not used to it, I have to adapt. It’s my fault for not being as good at studying as you all."

"It’s all because Ye Ling is so petty. If she had helped you with your studies, how could you not have gotten in? Look at Zhao Guodong and the others; none of them studied better than you, yet they’re in university. I don’t get what Ye Ling is thinking, helping outsiders and not her own sister." Sun Mingjie said indignantly.

Ye Qian still advised, "Brother Mingjie, don’t say that. My sister has her misunderstandings with me, but it’s not her fault in the end. It’s just my fate."

"The issue is right here; you don’t need to defend her. She’s restless at school too, liked someone and got tricked, then acted like a clown until furious she hit someone, and caused a big scandal. If your dad hadn’t intervened, she would have been expelled long ago." Sun Mingjie heard this from a classmate and only knew the gist of it. (To be continued.
