Chapter 394: Chapter 394

Ye Zhenfen went downstairs, leaving Ye Ling upstairs to change clothes by herself. As soon as Ye Zhenfen went downstairs, someone came to the house—it was Wu Mengyi bringing her daughter to visit.

When Wu Mengyi came in, it was the little maid who opened the door for her. As soon as she entered, she saw Shen Bin sitting on the sofa talking with Ye Zhenfen. Wu Mengyi’s eyes flickered, further confirming her suspicions that Shen Bin was the lost son the Li Family found.

Ye Zhenfen didn’t get up. Her smile towards Wu Mengyi was more customary, "Look at me, it’s this old age ailment, still having you come over to see me often. Come, sit down."

She continued, "Liu Rui has graduated, right? Is her job sorted out? How’s she doing? You know the saying, girls change eighteen times as they grow, and it’s true, she looks different every day."

As she said this, Ye Zhenfen thought of Ye Ling upstairs, and her smile faded a little.

Wu Mengyi could see through this and noticed Ye Zhenfen liked her daughter, feeling naturally pleased in her heart, "She’s a kid, you know how mischievous she gets without you around. Isn’t your family about to hold a wedding? I thought to come over and see if there was anything I could help with."

She sat on the sofa and glanced at Shen Bin, although she didn’t ask, she indirectly inquired about Shen Bin’s identity.

Ye Zhenfen didn’t hide it. Anyway, it would be known in a few days, pointing to Shen Bin, she said, "This is my long-lost son. You already know him. You often run into each other."

Wu Mengyi acted surprised, "Oh my, no wonder you are so happy. This is truly double happiness, finding your son who’s so excellent is your blessing."

"And it’s about to be triple happiness soon; this child is getting married." As Ye Zhenfen spoke of her son, her tone grew better, and she was warmer towards Wu Mengyi and her daughter than before, "Isn’t your Liu Rui already engaged? When’s the wedding? Now that she’s graduated from college, it’s time to handle it. Can’t learn from those advocating late marriages."

"Sigh, we were originally planning for a post-graduation wedding, but Weilai silently sent away letters. Such a big deal, four years of college wasted just like that, the Xiang Family didn’t manage, so how could we? When Old Liu was applying, he should have known, but he didn’t get any news, and decisions were just made directly at school. You see, we’re still here waiting for his return. Anyway, living life is for the younger generation, good or bad, it’s their business, we won’t manage. But this matter had my Xiao Rui siding with him. Even without being told the reason, she doesn’t blame Weilai, and I really don’t know what to say."

Wu Mengyi naturally knows how the marriage in the family came about, so when she’s outside, she can’t help but say what her daughter sacrificed, and what she gave, slowly turning perceptions to make her daughter seem like the one at a disadvantage, thus reversing the previous forceful approach by the Liu Family for this marriage.

Ye Zhenfen didn’t know about Ye Ling and the Xiang Family, and listening to Wu Mengyi’s words, naturally wouldn’t think more, and Wu Mengyi didn’t know Shen Bin was marrying Ye Ling. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to the Ye Family praising her daughter like that, which is like seeking enmity.

"Things between kids should be left to them. For how many years can we still manage? You have to learn from me, let go, and let them handle it. As long as they eventually give you a big grandchild to hold, what else could cause you worry?" Ye Zhenfen saw her son was about to get married and felt the grandchild was near, genuinely happy inside.

Seeing Ye Zhenfen happy, Wu Mengyi was also cheerful inside, "Isn’t that so? You truly have a good fate, about to have a daughter-in-law, but I wonder whose girl is it? If she’s to your liking, she must be excellent."

When Wu Mengyi finished speaking flatteringly, she looked up and saw Ye Ling walking down the stairs, her face tensed up. But having learned for so many years, she quickly masked her emotions. Meanwhile, Liu Rui, who was always restless sitting beside her, suddenly calmed down upon seeing Ye Ling, and wondered why Ye Ling was here.

But then she thought of the rumors that Ye Ling was favored by the Li Family, which she dismissed as gossip, only to realize it was true.

Initially, Liu Rui didn’t feel anything but after her mother talked about Xiang Weilai, thinking Ye Ling heard it from upstairs, Liu Rui felt disgraced in front of Ye Ling, her face turning sour. On the side, Wu Mengyi’s mind was racing, seeing Ye Ling coming downstairs alone indicated she was familiar with the Li Family. Thinking of Shen Bin’s impending marriage, a chill ran down Wu Mengyi’s spine, feeling like she overthought.

The thoughts of the Liu Family mother and daughter happened in a split second. Ye Zhenfen followed their gaze upstairs, her smile widened and more kindly beckoned Ye Ling, "Come here."

Ye Ling didn’t expect to encounter the Liu Family mother and daughter here, kept her face expressionless, but obediently went downstairs to sit next to Ye Zhenfen, who warmly held her hand and introduced her to them, "This is Ye Ling. You used to live in the same courtyard, so no need for introductions. But I do need to introduce her as my future daughter-in-law."

Wu Mengyi’s mind was in chaos, but she managed to maintain her composure, saying with a forced smile, "That’s great. Ye Ling graduated from college, and she and Shen Bin have matching careers, no need to be separated often."

The smile was forced.

Liu Rui wasn’t as shrewd as her mother; upon hearing this, many thoughts flashed through her mind, finally recalling Xiang Weilai’s abrupt decision, and her gaze on Ye Ling sharpened, "Grandma Li, can I talk with Sister Ye Ling alone? We haven’t seen each other in quite some time."

Liu Rui feigned shyness, lowering her head, but her hands were holding back the temper she was controlling tightly embedded into her flesh.

Ye Zhenfen didn’t put up the demeanor of a future mother-in-law directly agreeing but instead looked at Ye Ling for approval. Ye Ling didn’t grant Liu Rui face, smiling, "We’re all among family here, whatever you have to say, we can say it here, can’t be laughed at, right?"

Wu Mengyi somewhat understood what her daughter was going to say, silently worried, relieved by Ye Ling’s rejection, then subtly hinting and warning her daughter, "Yes, can’t have Grandma Li’s daughter-in-law whisked away by you."

The remark made Ye Zhenfen laugh, and Ye Ling’s words pleased her too, showing her trust, not feeling the need to converse privately with the youngster of the Liu Family. (To be continued.
