Chapter 362: Chapter 362

Wu Mengyi laughed, her laughter full of mockery. Ye Ling knew that no matter how well she spoke, in Wu Mengyi’s eyes, Shen Bin’s background made him look down upon. So even if Shen Bin was excellent, in Wu Mengyi’s eyes, Shen Bin was still inferior.

So, no matter how imposing Ye Ling was, in Wu Mengyi’s eyes, she was just a clown, which is why Wu Mengyi laughed so happily, with such loud laughter.

Speaking of which, Ye Ling felt somewhat uneasy inside but didn’t want to show it on her face, which made Wu Mengyi even more complacent. Although she knew Shen Bin had an extraordinary real background, Ye Ling didn’t want to exploit Shen Bin to save face in front of Wu Mengyi.

Anyway, her family was indeed . Apart from her working hard enough to get into college, her mother was trying to curry favor with the Liu Family, Ye Qian’s job relied on the Liu Family, and her father was in this condition now. What qualifications did they have to compete with the Liu Family?

Having realized this in her heart, Ye Ling would no longer live hypocritically like in her past life, fighting for something . Face doesn’t count as money. When Wu Mengyi finds out about Shen Bin’s real identity one day, she would probably think how ridiculous her laughter today was.

"So being with Ye Ling makes sister-in-law so happy." The door was pushed open, and Shen Bin strode into the room, standing by Ye Ling’s side with large steps.

Wu Mengyi, caught speaking ill of someone behind their back, felt embarrassed, and her laughter subsided. Her expression turned stiff when facing Shen Bin, "Oh, it’s Shen Bin. I was just chatting with Ye Ling, and you happened to hear it. I only mentioned a few words upon hearing the rumors outside, and then Ye Ling said it was true."

Yet, after all, because of Shen Bin’s background, she looked down on him to some extent in her demeanor.

Shen Bin’s expression was cold and indifferent, but he nodded, "I understand sister-in-law’s intention. After my parents know, they will surely appreciate sister-in-law for caring about my matters. When you have time, please visit my house as well."

At this point, regardless of whether Wu Mengyi understood, Shen Bin explained again, "Li Houguo is my biological father and mother. This is something outsiders don’t know. I just got carried away talking to sister-in-law and forgot to mention this. Sister-in-law can visit the villa compound in the South District."

The smile on Wu Mengyi’s face completely disappeared. She was shocked by the news brought by Shen Bin. She hadn’t expected Shen Bin to have such a background. However, no need to verify, Wu Mengyi believed it was true. Shen Bin couldn’t possibly lie, and the words she used to look down on him just now were overheard; otherwise, why would Shen Bin say this?

Looking at Shen Bin’s attitude, he was supporting Ye Ling. She initially said Shen Bin and Ye Ling were together, just to humiliate Ye Ling based on rumors she heard. However, under normal circumstances, considering Shen Bin is so much older than Ye Ling, the two couldn’t possibly be together.

Shen Bin standing out now was naturally to protect Ye Ling. Since she had already lost face, Wu Mengyi couldn’t let Ye Ling have the upper hand, wanting to see how the two would handle the situation and what they would do in the future.

Ye Ling wanted to stop Shen Bin, but it was too late. She felt a little uncomfortable, as Shen Bin always stood up to protect her. However, she didn’t expect Wu Mengyi to speak again, "Oh, so you two are really together? That’s a good thing. So are you waiting for Ye Ling to graduate to get married? Otherwise, how could this be kept a secret? This is a big matter. You guys go ahead; since you are intentionally hiding this, I naturally won’t tell anyone. But there are six months left, and I need to save up the gift money. I’ll wait to drink at your wedding celebration then."

Is she forcibly trying to bind the two together?

If they acknowledge it now, and in the future are not together, Wu Mengyi would definitely look down on Shen Bin. Ye Ling knew Shen Bin wasn’t someone who would take advantage of another in distress, and knowing his character, he wouldn’t selfishly agree now, realizing Shen Bin stood out for her.

Ye Ling clenched her teeth, smiled, and said, "You don’t have to worry about this, no matter what, nobody will forget you."

Wu Mengyi was stunned, but then she laughed and added a line, "Look, I said Ye Ling is a smart kid. Not only is she good at studying, but she also quietly found a son of a chief."

"Indeed, you should find a good one; otherwise, if you have a daughter in the future and someone else fancies her and she’s taken away, wouldn’t you suffer as I did?" Ye Ling took the opportunity to taunt back and regain face, not wanting to say another word, "See, my mom should be back soon, you should wait in the East Room. As for Shen Bin’s background, since you said you won’t mention it, we’re relieved and don’t need to speak more to you."

Wu Mengyi realized that staying longer would only embarrass herself more, "Alright, you two rarely meet, I won’t disturb you."

She finally left with an ambiguous smile.

Ye Ling was so angry that her chest hurt. She slammed the door shut and turned to the silent Shen Bin. Ye Ling hesitated for a moment, "Thank you just now. Your mother is sick. According to my dad, her health is worsening. Have you found anyone you year? Are you discussing marriage?"

"I have seen someone, but it didn’t work out as it was unsuitable." Shen Bin walked calmly to the edge of the kang and sat down, "What happened just now?" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novelFirｅ.net

When Ye Ling agreed at that moment, she actually made up her mind inwardly. Since Shen Bin was constantly going on blind dates, and the two of them were said to be together on the Li Family’s side, she couldn’t let Shen Bin help her and still suffer Wu Mengyi’s disdain. So it would be better to be together since she didn’t dare to engage in romance anymore in her situation. Shen Bin was reliable, and if they truly were together, as long as she lived peacefully, he wouldn’t hurt her.

However, before she had the courage to speak out her thoughts, Shen Bin changed the subject. Ye Ling didn’t know what to feel, only that the shackles on her body had been lifted, and she breathed a sigh of relief, though guilt rose again in her heart.

Without much time to think, Ye Ling replayed what had happened, "....You saw it too; she just humiliated me over Xiang Weilai’s matter, didn’t expect to drag you in as well, ending up like that."

Seeing Shen Bin staring at her without speaking, Ye Ling didn’t know what he was thinking and quietly explained, "Earlier, knowing you don’t like to lie, I answered ahead. You’re not mad, are you?"

Shen Bin continued to stare at Ye Ling, "Have you thought about your personal matters?"

Ye Ling was stunned, why was he shifting the conversation to this?

"You don’t have to take today’s matter to heart; I don’t care how others see it. But you’re graduating soon, and the Liu Family is watching you. Have you thought that if you’re with me, the pressure might be less? Emotions can develop slowly; I’m very fond of you. As long as after marriage, you gradually accept me, that’s fine. After experiencing Fu Lei and Xiang Weilai, I’m sure you’re cautious about feelings, so it would be better to find someone familiar. You know everything about me." Shen Bin stared seriously at Ye Ling, without a hint of shyness or awkwardness on his face as he spoke these words. (To be continued.
