Chapter 531: A Thorn in the Heart
Leng Xiaoduan, who finally got his phone, returned to the company happily.
Ye Qingwan also came to work.
Seeing Leng Xiaozheng charging the phone, Ye Qingwan was relieved.
"Did you find your phone?"
"Yes, fortunately, it fell in Lu Mingyu’s car. I was so worried last night that I almost couldn’t sleep. It’s too scary. Sister Qing Wan, humans really rely too much on their phones, don’t they?"
"Isn’t that so?"
Ye Qingwan agreed.
"It doesn’t matter if you don’t bring your wallet when you go out. If he didn’t bring his phone, he would definitely go home to get it."
"Ah, right, I told Lu Mingyu that I’ll treat him to a meal next time to thank him. Sister Qing Wan, you can come and help me arrange an appointment when it’s convenient for you next time!"
Ye Qingwan glanced at her.
"What you said is strange. If you want to thank him, why don’t you ask him out yourself? Why do you want me to do it?"
Leng Xiaoduan’s eyes widened.
"It would be weird if I ate alone with him, right? Sister Qingwan, you have to testify for me. Otherwise, won’t he misunderstand me? Did I deliberately leave my phone in his car to create a chance to be alone with him?"
Ye Qingwan clapped her hands, seemingly satisfied with her explanation.
"This direction is not bad. Little Duan, to be honest, isn’t Lu Mingyu pretty good?"
When Leng Xiaoduan heard her tone, he knew that she was messing around again.
"Sister Qing Wan, if you continue to talk nonsense, I won’t be with you anymore."
"Okay, okay, okay. I won’t talk nonsense anymore." Correct content is on
Ye Qingwan smiled mischievously." I’ll help you ask her out next time.""
"That’s more like it."
In the end, before Ye Qingwan could call Lu Mingyu for dinner, she received a call from Mama Lu.
"Wanwan, I’m godmother."
"Yes, hello, Godmother. Why did you suddenly call me?"
"I haven’t seen you in a long time. I miss you. Are you free this afternoon?"
"Qingjiang Road is near your company, right? I have a little sister who opened a beauty salon on Qingjiang Road. She keeps asking me to go and support her, but I can’t find the time."
"If it’s convenient for you, why don’t you come with me? I’ll go to your company to look for you."
"It’s rare for Godmother to ask me out. Even if I’m not free, I have to squeeze out some time."
For no reason, Mother Lu would definitely not look for her.
Ye Qingwan would never reject her.
"Godmother, you don’t have to pick me up at my company. Just tell me the time and place. How about we meet at the entrance of the beauty salon?"
"That’s great. I’ll make an appointment with the beauty salon later and send you a message."
"Okay, Godmother."
Mrs. Lu sent the time and place to Ye Qingwan’s phone.
The appointment was at 2:30 pm.
Ye Qingwan finished her work and left the company after giving some instructions to Leng Xiaoduan.
Gu Feng drove her to Han Yun Beauty Salon at 188 Qingjiang Road.
Mother Lu had already arrived and was sitting in the living room drinking tea.
Seeing her get out of the car through the French window, Mrs. Lu immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile.
"Wanwan!"
"Godmother!"
Mrs. Lu held Ye Qingwan’s arm and walked in with a smile.
Ye Qingwan didn’t notice them when they went in.
The taxi behind her did not stop. Instead, it slowed down and continued to drive forward.
Inside the car sat a woman burning with jealousy.
After Yu Xin heard Leng Xiao’s call last night, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
This morning, Leng Xiao called Ye Qingwan before he left the house.
When he picked up the call, the door was already closed.
However, when Yu Xin chased after him to the door, she still heard the uncontrollable joy in his tone.
"Wanwan!"
Every time he called Ye Qingwan’s name, Yu Xin felt a thorn in her heart.
Yu Xin’s imagination ran wild at home. She felt that Leng Xiao had gone to look for Ye Qingwan again.
A man who was indifferent to his wife.
How did he satisfy his physical needs?
All kinds of doubts and imaginations tortured her day after day, making her hate Ye Qingwan more and more.
Chapter 532: If Only She Was My Daughter-in-law
After lunch, Yu Xin went to Leng Xiao’s shop.
However, Leng Xiao was not in the shop. Monkey said that he had received a door-to-door service order and had already gone to the customer.
Yu Xin asked where it was, but everyone said they didn’t know.
This made Yu Xin suspicious again.
How could it be possible that no one knew where the boss went?
Unless Leng Xiao did not say it on purpose, or everyone was speaking the same thing to deceive her.
Yu Xin immediately hailed a cab and rushed to Qingyun Wan.
She saw Ye Qingwan coming down from upstairs and getting into Gu Feng’s car, so she immediately called a taxi to catch up.
He followed her to Han Yun Beauty Salon and saw Ye Qingwan with a noble woman.
Only then did Yu Xin feel slightly relieved.
But soon, she felt indignant.
No wonder Ye Qingwan had always been so beautiful. Wasn’t it because she had spent money to take care of herself?
He looked at Ye Qingwan, who was shining brightly.
Then, he looked at himself, who looked like an old woman.
The only difference between her and Ye Qingwan was a beauty salon.
It was a pity that the 200,000 yuan he had received from Zhao Qinglan was confiscated before he could even warm up.
Yu Xin couldn’t help but tighten her grip on her bag.
Inside was the 100,000 yuan deposit Xue Yunfei had given her.
——
"Ziqing, don’t tell me that this fairy-like woman is your daughter-in-law?"
Mother Lu brought Ye Qingwan into the beauty salon, and a graceful woman with a high bun immediately greeted her with a friendly smile.
"How can I be so lucky? If only she was really my daughter-in-law."Mother Lu smiled gently.
"Come, Yayun, let me introduce you. This is my goddaughter, Ye Qingwan."
Mama Lu introduced them.
"Wanwan, this is the owner of this beauty salon, Han Yayun." NovelFire.c(o)(m)
"Hello, Boss Han!"
Ye Qingwan bowed and greeted Han Yayun first.
Since she was Mother Lu’s friend, Ye Qingwan had to treat her as a junior.
Han Yayun was over 50 years old, but she maintained her body well. She also managed her figure well and looked very young. People would believe that she was only in her 30s.
"Sigh, don’t call me ’boss’. I don’t like the word’ old’. Call me Miss Han!"
Han Yayun was as lively as a young girl. She took Ye Qingwan’s hand affectionately and did not hide the surprise in her eyes.
"Miss Ye, how old are you this year? Are you married? My home is also my daughter, but my home is my nephew, my home, my home, my home, my home, my home."
"Cough cough..."
Mama Lu cleared her throat on purpose." It’s too late. I didn’t even make it in time. How could it be your turn?"
After exchanging some pleasantries, Han Yayun went to entertain the other guests and said,"
"It’s rare for you to show your face and bring such a beautiful woman here. It really brings light to our humble store. I’m the host today, ah, you’re not allowed to be polite with me! I’ll tell the front desk. No matter what project you do today, it’s a free experience."
" How can that do?!"
Mother Lu wanted to bargain with Han Yayun, but she didn’t give her a chance. She immediately called the beautician to take the two away.
Mrs. Lu and Ye Qingwan were arranged to do facial maintenance in the same treatment room.
"Wanwan, I didn’t call you out to disturb you, right?"
The two of them enjoyed the facial SPA and chatted casually with soothing music.
"Godmother, what are you talking about? I happen to have nothing to do. It’s not bad to come out and do a facial and relax."
"That’s good." Mother Lu said.
"I didn’t help much with Zixi’s matter last time. I always wanted to bring you out to relax, but I was afraid that you would be too busy and didn’t dare to disturb you."
"Godmother, I’m already very happy that you can think of me. In the future, if Godmother wants to find me, she can call me anytime. I guarantee that I’ll be at your beck and call!"
"Child, your little mouth looks like it’s covered in honey. How can I not like you?"
After some small talk, Mother Lu finally got to the point.
"Oh right, Wanwan, do you know if Mingyu has been in contact with any girls recently?"
Chapter 533: Does He Have Someone He Likes?
"What? I’m not too sure about that."
Mrs. Lu suddenly asked her this question, which confused Ye Qingwan.
Although she was god-related to the Lu family, Lu Mingyu and Ye Qingwan were god-siblings.
But after all, they had a good impression of each other back then.
Ye Qingwan was also deliberately keeping a distance between them.
How could she know so much about Lu Mingyu’s matters?
"It’s like this."
Mother Lu explained to her.
"To tell you the truth, my Mingyu is quite popular. There are several socialites and daughters from several families in South City who have asked someone to come to my place to propose marriage."
".."
"I saw that these girls were quite good-looking, so I took the photos and wanted to let Mingyu see if there were any that he liked. I wanted him to pick two for a blind date. In the end, he rejected all of them."
"Oh, I see."
Ye Qingwan didn’t know how to respond.
"Originally, I thought that he was picky, so I didn’t like any of them. I thought that it didn’t matter if I took it slow. He wasn’t too old."
"Yes."
"Guess what? This morning, I heard him answer a call from a woman. He ran out in a hurry without even eating."
".."
"What makes me feel the most suspicious is that our Mingyu is a very self-disciplined person. He has never touched a drop of alcohol, but he was actually drunk last night and was sent back by a designated driver. When you asked him who he drank with and why he was so drunk, he didn’t say anything. Don’t you think it’s strange?"
Ye Qingwan’s heart skipped a beat.
Didn’t Lu Mingyu have dinner with her and Leng Xiaoduan last night?
Why didn’t Lu Mingyu say anything?
If he didn’t say anything, Ye Qingwan didn’t seem to be able to say anything.
She knew that Lu Mingyu had always been interested in her.
Mother Lu knew that too.
Perhaps Lu Mingyu was afraid that Mother Lu would misunderstand him, so he didn’t say anything?
"Then what does Godmother want me to do?"
Mama Lu must have a reason for asking her out.
Ye Qingwan didn’t need to beat around the bush and asked directly. f.(r)eew ebnovll.com
"I don’t know Mingyu’s friends either. You’re now my goddaughter and his godsister."
"If Mingyu has someone in his heart, he might not tell us, but if you ask, he will definitely tell us."
"Why don’t you help me ask around and see if he has a girl he likes? If not, then persuade him to go on a blind date or something."
"Godmother."
"I know that you young people are against blind dates and think that it’s an arranged marriage or something. Actually, what kind of era was this? There was no such thing as an arranged marriage. Isn’t it more reliable to be introduced by parents and elders? She knew her character and family background clearly, so she was not afraid of being deceived."
"Godmother is right. Actually, I’m quite envious of those who are arranged by their parents for blind dates. It’s a pity that I don’t have parents..."
"Look at you, child!"
Mother Lu was afraid that she would fall into sadness.
He immediately stopped her." Don’t you still have godparents? Besides, you’ve already found your life partner. Even if your parents are still alive, they don’t have to worry about arranging blind dates for you."
"Why don’t I dump Gu Shimo and Godmother arrange a blind date for me?"
Ye Qingwan joked.
Mother Lu held back her laughter and was doing skin care. She couldn’t laugh casually.
"Aiyo, although I’m already half dead, I still want to live for another two years. I can’t afford to offend that King of Hell Gu of yours!"
"No matter how powerful he is, isn’t he still your son-in-law?"
When Mother Lu heard that, she immediately hardened her resolve.
"Isn’t that so? Why should I be afraid of him? You haven’t married him yet, so he still has to look at my eyes."
"That’s right!"
The two of them enjoyed the facial SPA while chatting and laughing. They were in an indescribable harmony.
——
Xue Yunfei, who had been rejected by Tang Yiheng, had been extremely depressed for the past two days.
It was not easy to reveal Gu Shimo’s background to Old Master Tang and convince him to come to South City from the Imperial Capital.
As a result, Gu Shimo went on a business trip to find out.
Tang Yiheng didn’t like her when Old Master Tang moved into Tang Yiheng’s house.
She couldn’t even see the old master now.
Chapter 534: A photo from five years ago
Would a person like Elder Tang sit in Tang Yiheng’s house and waste his time?
During this period of time, they had probably already sent someone to find out Gu Shimo’s background.
Grandpa Tang must have known about Ye Qingwan and Ye Zixi.
Ye Zixi was the blood of Gu Shimo, which meant that he was the blood of the Tang family.
Ye Qingwan’s status was based on her status as a mother, so the possibility of her being accepted was very high. She was the biggest threat to Xue Yunfei.
How could she turn the tables when Gu Shimo returned?
Marrying Gu Shimo and becoming the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Tang family should be a good Xue Yunfei!
How could she lose to an orphan who had lost both her parents?!
Just as she was fretting, her phone suddenly rang.
He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Yu Xin.
Xue Yunfei couldn’t help but feel happy.
The last time they parted at the mall, Xue Yunfei gave Yu Xin 100,000 yuan. She had been waiting for this call.
"How is it? Have you found the evidence?"
Xue Yunfei picked up the phone and asked impatiently.
"After much effort, I finally found it."
In order to highlight her contribution, Yu Xin emphasized her own efforts.
"I thought I couldn’t find it, but luckily, I saved it on the hard drive. I moved a few times and thought I lost it..."
Xue Yunfei did not have the patience to listen to her talk about this. She interrupted her rudely,
"Where is it? Hurry up and send it to me."
"You’re really impatient. Alright, I’ll send you a WeChat message then."
The last time they exchanged phone numbers, they also added each other on WeChat.
"Don’t worry. If I’m satisfied with it, I’ll give you another reward."
How could Xue Yunfei not see that Yu Xin was playing hard to get? Wasn’t she trying to get more money from her?
This small amount of money was nothing to Xue Yunfei.
As long as it was a trump card that could bring down Ye Qingwan, she was willing to go bankrupt!
After hanging up the phone, a WeChat message rang.
Xue Yunfei immediately opened WeChat.
Yu Xin sent a few photos.
It was obvious that it was an old photo from a few years ago. At that time, the resolution of the phone was far from as high as it was now.
The background was a dilapidated chemical plant.
A girl with long hair covering her face was crawling on the ground. Half of her clothes were torn off, and only half of them were hanging on her body.
Her half-naked back was covered by her long hair, and only a little spring light could be seen through the gaps.
The people in the photos were basically back-facing photos. Only one of them showed the girl’s side profile.
Her face was pure and tender, and her big eyes were half filled with tears.
Fear, shame, despair, and embarrassment intertwined, adding a layer of poignant beauty to her pitiful temperament.
It was Ye Qingwan.
Xue Yunfei was ecstatic.
"Are there any more photos?" he asked Yu Xin. I want someone whose face can be seen."
Xue Yunfei did not want to miss this wonderful opportunity to turn the tables.
She knew what Yu Xin wanted and immediately threw out the bait.
"If there are any more photos, send them to me together. 10,000 yuan for a photo without a face, and 50,000 yuan for a photo with a face. It would be even better if there was a video. You can name the price."
Money could make the world go round. A moment later, Yu Xin sent a few more photos.
Basically, there were no faces. Only two of them could be seen. In addition, there were several men surrounding Ye Qingwan in the photo, which made Xue Yunfei excited.
She asked for Yu Xin’s account number and generously paid for these photos. NovelFire)
Yu Xin, who had tasted the sweetness, was also so happy that she couldn’t stop.
"I don’t have a video, but I was at the scene at the time. I can describe the scene to you. Do you want a written record?"
Xue Yunfei was overjoyed.
"Sure! I’ll pay you based on how interesting your descriptions are."
Both parties hit it off.
Yu Xin immediately began to edit the text, embellishing the scene that happened in the chemical plant that day.
She wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
He could get the money and pin Ye Qingwan on the pillar of shame forever.
She was clearly a pair of broken shoes that had been played with by a few men, but she still looked pure and flawless on the surface. Correct content is on NovelFire.
She dressed up all day to seduce married men.
Yu Xin felt disgusted just by looking at the name " Ye Qingwan ".
Chapter 535: Long-term Cooperation
South City Center, high-end apartment.
On the sofa in the living room.
Xue Yunfei held a glass of water in one hand and her phone in the other.
He read the long paragraph of text that Yu Xin had sent to describe what had happened word by word.
In her mind, she automatically imagined the miserable scene when Ye Qingwan was bullied.
His eyes were filled with excitement.
A few men surrounded her and kept teasing and teasing her. Her body and mind were ravaged, and she screamed miserably. She was in pain because she had no way to escape...
Just thinking about that scene made her blood boil.
It turned out that Ye Qingwan’s beauty was just an illusion.
Her real identity was a pair of broken shoes that had long been played with by men.
She could almost imagine how many times she’d been in the past.
When Ye Qingwan’s experience that night was officially exposed...
The men who saw these words and pictures were probably going to have their blood pumping. They wanted to turn into evil wolves and play with her ruthlessly.
He was really looking forward to that moment.
At that time, he would see how Ye Qingwan would seduce Gu Shimo and justify herself.
No matter how much Elder Tang liked Ye Zixi, he would never allow a broken shoe to enter the Tang family.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
Xue Yunfei stood up and poured herself a glass of wine.
He thought in his heart that he must play this card well.
Wang Zha naturally had to use it at the most suitable time!
One hit!
——
Qingyun Wan.
In the office, Ye Qingwan was focused on the news report.
The phone on the desk suddenly rang.
She glanced at the screen. NovelFire
He saw that the caller ID was Gao Jiaxiang.
Ye Qingwan was a little surprised and picked up the phone." Hello!"
Gao Jiaxiang had not contacted her since their last collaboration.
Wanwan, it’s me, Gao Jiaxiang."
On the other end of the phone, Gao Jiaxiang’s excited voice could be heard." Long time no see. Are you coming as soon as possible?"" NovelFire
A professional smile appeared on Ye Qingwan’s delicate face. She said politely," Yes, long time no see.""
"Hehe, Wanwan, guess where I am now?"
"Hmm? Where is it?"
She had no intention of knowing, alright?
"I am now in South City"
Gao Jiaxiang laughed loudly on the other end of the phone." I’m back again." Are you surprised?"
"Eh, haven’t you always been in South City?"
Ye Qingwan was confused.
"Ah, Wanwan, you’re too sad."
Gao Jiaxiang looked aggrieved.
He patiently explained in detail," Have you forgotten? Last time, it wasn’t a win-win situation. My first battle was very beautiful, so I quickly entered the Xue Corporation to report on my work. Didn’t I send you a message when I arrived in Hillford? Looks like you didn’t read my message at all, right?"
"Oh, I remember now!"
Ye Qingwan pretended to be enlightened.
"I was busy when I saw your message. Later, I said to reply to you, but I turned around and forgot."
"If you feel embarrassed, how about treating me to a meal to make it up to you?"
Gao Jiaxiang took the opportunity to make a request.
"Eat?"
Ye Qingwan felt a little awkward." When? I have to have dinner with my son tonight. You know that I can’t let my guard down after what happened to Zixi last time."
"Zixi’s matter is really difficult for you."
Gao Jiaxiang comforted her.
"It doesn’t have to be at night. We can have lunch together." Anyway, I was going to talk to you about work."
"Do you still want to continue working with Qingyun Wan?"
"Yeah, Wanwan, you won’t reject me, right?"
"Well, it depends on what kind of cooperation we have, as well as the time arrangements."
Qingyun Wan had never been a business partner.
However, Gao Jiaxiang’s profit points were quite high.
There was no problem with their previous cooperation.
Chapter 536: Enemies on a Narrow Road
Ye Qingwan had no reason to refuse.
After some thought, she asked," Where are you in South City now? Will you be able to make it in time for lunch today?"
"I was waiting for you to say that."
Gao Jiaxiang smiled and said," I caught the morning flight and called you first after I landed. I wanted to ask if it was convenient for you to have lunch together. If it’s not convenient for you, I’ll ask someone else."" NovelFire
"If you can make it, how about we find a fast food restaurant near the company and have a light meal together?"
She quickly solved the problem of food, then talked about cooperation and signed the contract. It was straightforward. Ye Qingwan didn’t like to drag things out.
"Okay, then I’ll go to the hotel to check in first. I’ll put away my luggage and go to the company to find you, okay?"
"Alright, I’ll wait for you."
After hanging up, Ye Qingwan called Leng Xiaoduan into her office.
"Xiao Duan, let’s go out for lunch later. You haven’t ordered takeout yet, right?"
"Not yet. Sister Qing Wan, where do you want to eat?"
"I’m just looking for a fast food restaurant in the nearby food court. It’s less crowded. Gao Jiaxiang said he wanted to come over for lunch."
"Gao Jiaxiang? Why did he suddenly appear again?"
"He said that he wants to discuss a long-term cooperation with us. It seems that the last time we helped him to guide the flow, the results were not bad. He has officially joined the Xue Corporation."
"Ah, so you’re here to give me money?"
Leng Xiaoduan immediately understood.
The last time Qingyun Wan helped Xue Jewelry to divert the money, she earned 70 million yuan. Leng Xiaoduan also received a million yuan bonus.
This made Leng Xiaoduan have a good impression of Gao Jiaxiang. He couldn’t wait for the landlord’s silly son to make another order.
"I knew you would be very happy."
Ye Qingwan raised her eyebrows as if she had seen through Leng Xiaoduan.
Leng Xiaoduan’s eyes lit up and he instantly became a lackey.
"Sister Qingwan, why don’t we go to that Hong Kong cafe? It’s still not too late to book a table now."
"Alright, then go ahead and book the book."
He didn’t have to spend time on the choice questions.
At noon, Gao Jiaxiang finally arrived late and met Ye Qingwan and Leng Xiaoduan at the tea restaurant.
While they were waiting for him, Ye Qingwan and Leng Xiaoduan had already ordered the food and were waiting for Gao Jiaxiang.
"Come, come, come. How about a toast for our future cooperation?"
Gao Jiaxiang filled his cup with drinks and raised his glass to the two of them.
As he still had to work in the afternoon, he did not order any wine.
"No problem." Ye Qingwan raised her glass and clinked them.
"President Gao, Qingyun Wan welcomes you!"
Leng Xiaoduan also raised his glass." Cheers to our happy cooperation!"
Ding! The three glasses clinked together.
Gao Jiaxiang’s eyes sparkled with joy.
Even though Ye Qingwan had a son and a man, his love for her was not something that could disappear just like that.
This did not affect him from continuing to like her when they were working together.
The soup was full, and the guests and guests were happy.
The food in the cafe was not bad. Of course, no one went there for the food anyway.
Eating was just a ritual. The main point was who he was eating with.
After dinner, when they returned to Qingyun Wan, they bumped into Xue Yunfei at the elevator.
Speaking of which, they could be considered acquaintances.
However, the four of them looked at each other, but none of them had the desire to greet Xue Yunfei.
Gao Jiaxiang’s eyes flashed with disdain as he passed by.
Xue Yunfei looked at Gao Jiaxiang and Ye Qingwan meaningfully.
Back at Qingyun Wan, Ye Qingwan didn’t even give Gao Jiaxiang time to catch up.
She asked Leng Xiaoduan to talk to him directly and dragged him to the meeting room to discuss the outline of the cooperation and produce the first version of the contract. Then, she would further confirm and sign it.
Ye Qingwan had just returned to her office when her phone rang.
The caller ID showed that it was Xue Yunfei.
"Miss Xue suddenly called. What’s the matter?"
Ye Qingwan picked up the phone, her voice cold.
Chapter 537: Stalking
"Why did Gao Jiaxiang go to your company again?"
Xue Yunfei’s voice was filled with inexplicable ridicule.
"Does this have anything to do with Miss Xue?"
Ye Qingwan didn’t indulge Xue Yunfei’s mood.
"Don’t you know? Last time, on 11/11, our guide, Qing Yun Quan, had almost completed the Xue Corporation’s half a year of KP."
Initially, Xue Yunfei had intended to work with Qingyun Wan.
Ye Qing Wan refused to give the world a chance to have Fu Linpei and He Meijuan’s matter happen.
"Haha." Xue Yunfei sneered.
When this matter was mentioned, she was filled with anger.
This Ye Qingwan did not know how to appreciate kindness. She was kind enough to cooperate with Qingyun Wan, but Ye Qingwan rejected it. Why didn’t she treat Gao Jiaxiang equally?
Stepping on one and supporting one was clearly taking revenge on her!
"Ye Qingwan, I’m kind enough to remind you today. Do you think there will be another good thing like last time? Gao Jiaxiang is just my dad’s illegitimate son. My dad felt that he owed him, so he gave him such a high share to support him. I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you." Correct content is on NovelFire)
Ye Qingwan was stunned.
" Then should I thank you for your reminder?" It’s hard for Miss Xue to think so much for me."
Xue Yunfei didn’t seem to hear her sarcasm.
He laughed arrogantly." Just treat it as me doing a good deed every day."
"I thank your family. Just take care of yourself."
With a snort, Ye Qingwan hung up the call.
Xue Yunfei was so angry that she almost smashed her phone.
Ye Qingwan, let’s see how long you can be smug for.!
When your unbearable past is exposed, I’ll see if you’ll laugh or cry.
——
Old Master Tang had stayed in South City for two weeks and had learned almost everything he needed to know about South City. He had even investigated Gu Shimo’s background thoroughly. Everything was under his control.
That afternoon, Grandpa Tang called Ye Qingwan and invited her to dinner. He also asked her to bring Ye Zixi along.
Ye Qingwan was still a little confused when she received the call from Grandpa Tang.
"You’re Gu Shimo’s fiancée, Ye Qingwan, right? I’m Tang Baiyong."
".. Ah, it’s Elder Tang? I didn’t expect you to suddenly call me."
"Are you surprised? Did I scare you?"
Tang Bai Yong’s attitude was very amiable,"How about it, can you do me the honor of having dinner with this rotten old man?""
"Ah, that, I..."
Gu Shimo had already said that he did not care about the Tang family anymore. Ye Qingwan thought that it was best not to have any contact with the Tang family, especially Old Master Tang.
However, Old Master Tang was determined to invite her to dinner.
"Miss Ye, do you think that this old man is forcing me? It’s all because Gu Shimo isn’t in South City. You’re the closest person to him, so I have no choice but to come and harass you. Do you want to drive here yourself, or should I send a car to pick you up?"
Tang Baiyong had given her two clear choices, so Ye Qingwan could only choose one of them.
"I’ll drive there myself."
"Good!"
Tang Baiyong laughed heartily." Remember to bring Zixi along! I look forward to our meeting."
He hung up the phone.
Ye Qingwan called Gu Feng.
She asked him to pick up Zixi from school and send her home while she took a taxi to Tang Yiheng’s house to meet Tang Baiyong.
When she went out to hail a taxi, Xue Yunfei happened to see her.
Ye Qingwan had always been picked up by Gu Feng, but she took a taxi today. Judging from the direction the car left, it was not going home.
Xue Yunfei immediately became alert and drove over.
Ye Qingwan’s taxi was obviously heading towards Tang Yiheng’s house.
Xue Yunfei guessed that Elder Tang must have summoned Ye Qingwan to meet him.
Chapter 538: Chapter 538-Inquiring
Xue Yunfei gritted her teeth in anger. She stepped on the accelerator in her high heels and followed Ye Qingwan’s car into Tang Yiheng’s neighborhood.
Although Tang Yiheng didn’t welcome her.
However, Xue Yunfei knew which floor Tang Yiheng lived on, so it didn’t stop her from going to his house.
She took the elevator to Tang Yiheng’s floor before Ye Qingwan and hid behind the emergency staircase.
When Ye Qingwan took the elevator up and rang the doorbell, someone opened the door for her. Xue Yunfei shamelessly followed Ye Qingwan into the house.
Tang Yiheng, who was waiting at the door, looked confused." I don’t think I invited you, right?"
Xue Yunfei was already changing her shoes at the entrance.
"I’m here to see the old man. Don’t think too highly of yourself."
Tang Bai Yong heard the commotion and walked out of the room.
When Xue Yunfei saw him, she shot forward and took the initiative to hold Tang Baiyong’s arm.
She called out coquettishly,"Old Master! You won’t not welcome me, right?"
Xue Yunfei came uninvited and was obviously at odds with Tang Yiheng.
Tang Baiyong frowned slightly, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.
"Of course."
He gently patted Xue Yunfei’s arm and said in a lukewarm tone," Sit anywhere you want."
He turned to Ye Qingwan." Miss Ye Qingwan, why are you alone?" Didn’t Ye Zixi come along?"
Ye Qingwan greeted him politely," Hello, Old Master Tang. Zixi is more sensitive to strangers after that unfortunate incident, so I didn’t bring him here.""
"Alright then!"
Although he was slightly disappointed, Tang Baiyong didn’t intend to delve into it. There would be a chance in the future.
"Thank you for coming. It’s cold outside, right? Come in quickly, we’re waiting for you to come."
It was December, and the weather was indeed getting colder.
Ye Qingwan had to wear a down jacket when she went out. Correct content is on NovelFire.
Tang Yiheng took off her thick coat and hung it up for her. He then scooped a bowl of fragrant and boiling ginseng chicken soup for her.
"Drink some soup first to warm your body."
Ye Qingwan thanked him and held the bowl with both hands.
The chicken soup should have just been served. The golden soup seemed to have just stopped boiling.
Wisps of hot steam were emitted, and the fragrance assailed his nostrils.
"Everyone, let’s eat!"
Elder Tang raised his chopsticks first.
Tang Baiyong, Tang Yiheng, Yang Feng, Ye Qingwan, Xue Yunfei, and He Yutang sat at the table. Correct content is on NovelFire.
Everyone had to wait for Tang Baiyong to start eating first before they could follow suit.
The dishes on the table were very sumptuous.
As the Tang family’s rule was " no words while eating, no words while sleeping ", everyone lowered their heads and ate in silence. When Tang Baiyong put down his chopsticks, the others also put down their chopsticks.
It was really uncomfortable to eat with this table of people.
Fortunately, Ye Qingwan didn’t eat much at night, so she didn’t care if she could eat her fill.
After dinner, Tang Baiyong invited Ye Qingwan to sit on the sofa in the living room for tea.
Tang Yiheng and He Xiaotang helped to serve tea and fruit plates.
Yang Feng was sitting in a corner playing with his phone. Xue Yunfei also stayed and found a corner to sit down.
He pretended to be playing with his phone, but his ears perked up to listen to Tang Baiyong and Ye Qingwan.
"I heard that Gu Shimo went on a business trip?"
Tang Baiyong sized Ye Qingwan up.
Ye Qingwan’s eyes were clear and her expression was calm.
Facing his gaze, she did not hide or dodge. She answered him neither obsequiously nor haughtily,"Yes.""
"Does his business trips always last so long?"
Tang Baiyong felt that Gu Shimo was deliberately avoiding him and refused to return to South City.
"That’s not necessarily true. It can take a month or two at most, and three to five days at the shortest."
Ye Qingwan was telling the truth.
"Oh..."
Tang Bai Yong picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, agreeing with her statement.
"Did he say when he would be back?"
Chapter 539: Insinuating That She Was the Third Party
"He said he would be back two days ago."
Ye Qingwan was also helpless." But the plan can’t keep up with the changes. Something suddenly happened over there, so he stayed behind to deal with it. I’m not sure when he’ll be back.""
"I still remember that you lived abroad for several years, right?"
"Yes."
Previously, because of Yang Feng. Ye Qingwan had interacted with Elder Tang before.
But he didn’t understand.
"Did you just come back this year?"
"Yes."
"You left your hometown alone and brought a child with you. It’s been hard on you."
Ye Qingwan was about to reply.
However, Xue Yunfei seemed to interrupt unintentionally." Ye Qingwan, why didn’t you tell Gu Shimo about Zixi’s existence back then?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone looked at her.
Ye Qingwan frowned.
Xue Yunfei didn’t give her a chance to explain.
She said," If you told him, why would Gu Shimo let his own flesh and blood wander outside? You and Zixi don’t have to suffer so much."
Xue Yunfei’s sudden interruption made Ye Qingwan unhappy.
Ye Qingwan didn’t want to answer Xue Yunfei’s question, as she didn’t have to.
However, Elder Tang seemed to be interested in this question as well.
She added," Yeah, why didn’t you tell Gu Shimo then?"
"At that time, something happened..."
It was unbearable to recall the past. Ye Qingwan wanted to bury some memories deep in her heart and even forget them. She didn’t want to mention them to anyone.
His tone was not very good.
Xue Yunfei was pleased to see her hesitating.
" Is it because Gu Shimo already had a fiancée at that time?" I remember her name is Bai Shanshan."
Xue Yunfei was mocking Ye Qingwan for being a third party and getting pregnant.
That was why she had gone overseas when the country could no longer tolerate her.
Or perhaps she had other ideas and wanted to retreat in order to advance.
"Speaking of which, Bai Shanshan’s death seems quite strange. I don’t know if someone did something to her."
Every word was directed at Ye Qingwan.
Fortunately, everyone present was a sensible person.
She would not be led by the nose.
"Xue Yunfei, you have a mouth that is used to spread rumors, right?"
"The Ye family and the Gu family have been friends for generations. Ye Qingwan and Gu Shimo grew up together, and Bai Shanshan is the one who came later."
"On the other hand, some people clearly know that the two of them are in love, but they still want to sow discord so that they can take advantage of the situation. Don’t these people realize that they are the real third party?"
Tang Yiheng had always disliked Xue Yunfei.
Similarly, Xue Yunfei also disliked Tang Yiheng.
This pair of enemies seized the opportunity to kick the other party when he was down to vent their anger.
Fortunately, the engagement was canceled. If they really got married, one could imagine what kind of lively scene it would be after marriage.
After being humiliated by Tang Yiheng, how could Xue Yunfei endure it?
She sneered." The pot calling the kettle black. Tang Yiheng, you’re always speaking up for Ye Qingwan. Are you prepared to be a third party?"
"Xue Yunfei, do you think everyone is as dirty as you?"
Seeing that the two of them were going to argue again, Elder Tang was impatient.
"Feifei, it’s winter at night. Be careful of the car freezing and not starting. Go back early!"
Although Tang Baiyong didn’t directly scold the two, he tactfully gave Xue Yunfei the order to leave.
Since the old man had spoken, Xue Yunfei was not someone who did not know what to do.
Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to say goodbye to Tang Baiyong aggrievedly. NovelFire
She left Tang Yiheng’s house with every step she took.
"Miss Ye, do you want to drink some water before we talk? The tea is getting cold."
After Xue Yunfei walked away, she said to Ye Qingwan nonchalantly with a smile on her face.
It was as if the little episode that had just happened had never happened.
Ye Qingwan could only take a sip of tea to calm herself down.
"No matter what, you worked hard to give birth to Zixi and raised him up. You’re an amazing mother."
Tang Bai Yong looked at her and said meaningfully.
Chapter 540: Lobbying Ye Qingwan
"I thought I would be able to see this little cutie today. I even specially prepared a greeting gift. She must be a very obedient child. What a pity."
Ye Qingwan only smiled and didn’t reply.
"I wonder if it’s convenient for Miss Ye to let me see Zixi’s photo?"
Tang Bai Yong asked.
——
Ye Qingwan chatted with Tang Baiyong for a while. Time passed quickly. It was almost eight o’clock. It was time for Tang Baiyong to sleep.
"Thank you for coming today."
After all, he was getting on in years. Tang Baiyong was lacking in energy, and his fatigue was obvious.
"Nice to meet you, Ye Qingwan."
"It’s my honor. Thank you for inviting me to dinner, Old Master."
Tang Baiyong seemed to like Ye Qingwan’s attitude. He smiled and said,"
"As long as you don’t mind me, you’re welcome to come and play with me anytime during the days I’m staying at Yi Heng’s house."
Of course, Ye Qingwan knew that it was just a casual remark.
She did not take it to heart.
However, he still looked sincere.
"Alright, I’ll come again next time."
"By the way, how did you get here? If you didn’t drive here yourself, let Yi Heng send you home! Nowadays, it was not safe for girls to go out alone in the car."
Tang Baiyong asked with concern.
"I’ve already texted the driver to pick me up."
After the dinner, Ye Qingwan sent Gu Feng a message asking him to pick her up at this address.
"Alright, then be careful on the road."
"I know. Good night, Old Master. I’ll take my leave first."
"I won’t send you off. Let Yi Heng send you off."
"Goodbye, Old Master!"
Tang Baiyong went to wash up and rest. Ye Qingwan also took her bag, put on her coat, and changed her shoes at the entrance.
Tang Yiheng and Yang Feng followed them to the entrance. Tang Yiheng also put on his coat and shoes.
"I’ll send you downstairs and watch you get into the car."
Tang Yiheng said.
"Then I won’t send you off."
Yang Feng knew that Tang Yiheng must have something to say to Ye Qingwan. "Wanwan, take care. We’ll meet again next time."
"Alright." View the correct content at NovelFire.
Ye Qingwan said goodbye to Yang Feng.
Tang Yiheng and Ye Qingwan went out together and took the elevator downstairs.
"Is the driver’s car here already?"
Tang Yiheng looked at Ye Qingwan and asked politely.
"Yes, I just sent a message saying that he’s at the entrance of the neighborhood."
"Alright, then I’ll send you to the door."
"Thank you."
"Miss Ye, you’re too polite. From now on, we’re family. There’s no need to be so formal."
Ye Qingwan didn’t know what to say.
She simply remained silent and did not answer him.
Tang Shan and Yi Heng were silent for two seconds, and then his voice sounded faintly,
"You know what? In fact, all these years, my grandfather has never stopped missing and looking for my aunt, Tang Ying."
".."
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and listened to him.
"Especially in the past two years, as he grew older, he missed his aunt even more. I’ve heard more than once about his regret and regret for what happened back then. This might be the only regret in his life."
Ye Qingwan sighed." This feeling can be treated as a memory, but it was already lost at that time."" NovelFire
After exiting the elevator, the two of them slowly walked towards the entrance of the neighborhood.
Tang Yiheng continued,
"Now that aunt is no longer alive, and grandfather is plagued with injuries, he might have a premonition about his lifespan, right?
His only wish now was to see his aunt’s descendants, to make it up to them as much as possible, and to enjoy the happiness of his lost family in his last moments.
Miss Ye, people are not saints. Who can be free from mistakes?
Putting aside the fact that he had made the wrong decision from his grandfather’s point of view back then.
Even if there was really an error, now that the truth had been established and he did not have much time left, could it be that he could not even fulfill such a small wish when he was alive?
I don’t know what Gu Shimo is thinking, but since he hasn’t returned from his business trip for so long, everyone can guess his attitude. He might even be angry at his grandfather for his aunt’s death.
Miss Ye, on the account that my grandfather misses his daughter and doesn’t have much time left, can you persuade Gu Shimo to come and see my grandfather?"
