Chapter 140: Chapter 140 Lady Wen Invited Me Chapter 140: Chapter 140 Lady Wen Invited Me Ye Chuyi shook her head, “I didn’t buy it!”
“But the package was delivered yesterday evening, and your name was on it, so I just put it on your desk.”
Ye Chuyi picked up the chocolate and looked at it, “It’s the brand I usually eat, strange, who bought it for me?”
This brand of chocolate wasn’t cheap, sending her more than a dozen boxes was quite the gesture of good will, one that required gratitude.
So, she asked everyone who might have sent it.
The result was that everyone said they hadn’t sent it.
Now, there was only one possibility left.
Ye Chuyi opened her phone and stared at the chat interface with Sheng Tingyuan for a while before finally sending a message, “Received the chocolates, thank you.”
She waited for a long time, but there was no response from the other side.
Ye Chuyi felt that he might still be angry. After thinking about it, she had no choice but to send another message, “I have nothing going on with Cong Ningyuan.”
Still, there was no response from the other side.
Ye Chuyi sighed, turned off her phone, and didn’t bother with it anymore.
In the afternoon, Lady Wen was discharged from the hospital.
She sent a message to Ye Chuyi, inviting her to the Wen Family’s home for dinner that evening.
Ye Chuyi didn’t expect Lady Wen to invite her. She felt a small flutter of excitement in her heart. She went to the mall to pick out a gift for Lady Wen and also bought some ginseng from an old, reputable traditional medicine shop.
At dusk, she went to the Wen Family’s home with the gifts.
But as soon as she entered the villa’s gate, she was stopped by Lin Yueqin.
“You little beast, what are you doing here again? How many times have I told you? The Wen Family is a family of the wealthy and well-to-do, not a place for someone of your status to come and go as you please. Get out at once!”
“Lady Wen invited me here. If you don’t believe it, you can go ask.”
Lin Yueqin’s expression froze. Lady Wen had invited her? What was Lady Wen planning? Why had she suddenly become close to Ye Chuyi? Could it be that she discovered something?
No, this cannot be allowed! Ye Chuyi must not be allowed to dine with Lady Wen!
“Madam has just been discharged from the hospital and is still very weak. She needs to rest. How can you be so inconsiderate? She invited you to dinner just to be polite, and you actually took it seriously?”
Lin Yueqin pushed her out, “I’ll tell you the truth, Madam didn’t ask me to prepare any table settings for you. There’s no place for you at dinner! Tonight is a family’s warm time to eat dinner, even I’m not allowed at the table. What business is it of yours?”
“It’s not a big deal if I don’t eat dinner. Lady Wen was discharged today. What’s wrong with me paying her a visit? Is that not allowed?”
Ye Chuyi also pushed her back, “Get out of the way, don’t block me.”
Lin Yueqin instantly became furious, “You little beast, have you turned against me, daring to lay your hands on me? I will not let you off!”
She raised her hand to slap Ye Chuyi, but Ye Chuyi was quicker. She grabbed her hand and shoved her back, “You want to hit me again? Lin Yueqin, have you forgotten, I have grown up, I am now taller and stronger than you. If you want to get physical, you’d better think twice, otherwise, be careful not to break your own wrist.”
“Well then, you have gotten bold enough to threaten your own mother now! There is no daughter more unfilial than you in this world! Get out of here now!”
She was still ranting when a car drove in.
The car window rolled down, and the faces of Wen Xingye and his daughter Wen Nianyou appeared.
Both of their expressions changed upon seeing Ye Chuyi.
Especially Wen Xingye, seeing Ye Chuyi reminded him of the scene from last night when she caught and questioned him, because of her, he had a sleepless night filled with worry and nightmares, constantly fearing that Ye Chuyi had told his wife about last night’s events.
He frowned and suppressed the unease in his heart, asking, “What are you two arguing about at the front gate? Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Ye Chuyi’s voice was cool, “Madam invited me to have dinner. I also came to visit her since she was discharged today, but your servant is blocking me from entering.”
Wen Xingye looked at Lin Yueqin, “Is that so?”
Lin Yueqin quickly said, “No, that’s not the case at all. Madam didn’t invite her at all. She has no shame and came on her own initiative!”
“Tonight’s dinner is only prepared for your family of three, there’s no one else. If Madam truly invited her, why wouldn’t she instruct me to prepare more food?”
“Sir, she is my daughter, and I know her best. She is lying. Please don’t believe her!”
