Ye Tong was furious, but facing Zheng Cai at this moment, she couldn’t utter a single word.
Finally, she clenched her teeth and nodded. "I understand!"
Zheng Cai patted the back of her hand and said, "For now, Xiao Shuo is the best choice for you."
After all this talk, it’s still because this child doesn’t know how to love herself. How could she use such a method to give her body to a man so early on? In the end, she won’t be able to keep either her body or her heart. Although I’ve never liked Ye Yuning, seeing Xiao Shuo turn back to her now, I roughly know what Ye Yuning has grasped. Men, what they can’t get is always the best.
Ye Tong heard the subtlety in Zheng Cai’s tone and looked at her with some grievance. Previously, Zheng Cai’s attitude had not been .
Not long after, Zheng Siyu returned.
"Auntie," her voice was sweet, as if it carried Tangguo.
Seeing the slender, fair-skinned Zheng Siyu, Zheng Cai immediately smiled and stood up.
"You’re back? How did the clothes fit?"
Zheng Siyu handed her the bag. "Should I try them on for Auntie to see?"
"Yes," Zheng Cai nodded.
Zheng Siyu took the bag and turned, running into the downstairs guest room.
She changed into the clothes at top speed. When she came out wearing the white cocktail dress, she looked even more exquisite and lovely.
Zheng Cai nodded with satisfaction. "You little girl, haven’t you been eating? You’re so thin!"
Though her words were reproachful, her tone was undeniably indulgent.
Seeing Zheng Siyu’s dazzling appearance, Ye Tong felt her teeth itch with even more irritation.
Honestly...! Since returning to the Ye Family, I haven’t reacted much to anything here; I’m the biological daughter of this family, so all of this will be mine. What I envy most is Ye Yuning’s skin, that flawlessly clear complexion. Now Zheng Siyu is the same, her small face so fair and rosy it looks like water could be squeezed from it. How could I compare? I’ve used so many good skincare products since I came back, but I still can’t measure up to Zheng Siyu or Ye Yuning in the slightest.
Zheng Cai said, "Hmm, looks good. Wear this dress that day."
"Thank you, Auntie, for preparing these for me. I love you."
She was very good at pleasing people, always having words of love on her lips, yet it never seemed frivolous.
Ye Tong also tried to act coquettishly like that.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t as charmingly cute as Zheng Siyu, and saying such words in that tone made it somewhat hard for others to accept.
Zheng Cai said, "You little one, your words are getting slicker."
"Does Auntie like it or not?" Zheng Siyu asked with artless charm.
However, as she asked this, her gaze unconsciously flickered towards Ye Tong.
The implied triumph made Ye Tong’s teeth ache with irritation.
This bitch...! What does she have to be so smug about? Everything she’s enjoying now, won’t it all belong to me eventually anyway?
Yet Zheng Cai’s answer was particularly heartbreaking. She said, "I like it. Auntie has always cared a lot for you. Try to make us proud this time, okay?"
"Don’t worry, Auntie, I will," Zheng Siyu nodded and said.
With her obedient and well-behaved demeanor, no elder could dislike her.
This was also why even someone as cold as Ye Shilong would show affection towards Zheng Siyu.
Seeing Zheng Siyu’s triumphant look, Ye Tong was so irritated that she turned and went straight upstairs.
As soon as she entered her room and closed the door, she slammed her bag onto the bed. "Seventh Master Xiao, is it!"
That bitch, how is she worthy! Someone like her, wanting to marry Seventh Master Xiao? That depends on whether I agree to it!
Ye Tong seethed inwardly, a calculating glint in her eyes.
Outside, the world was in turmoil.
However, Ye Yuning was sleeping soundly in Shanyu Pavilion, lost in a beautiful dream, when her phone kept vibrating.
I really need to change my phone this time. Its silent mode is just vibration; there’s no true silence. I want to turn it off, but I’m worried about missing important business calls.
Annoyed, she answered, "Hello."
"Ningning, it’s me." Xiao Shuo’s fawning voice came through the phone.
Ye Yuning instinctively hung up.
This damn pest! He’s really become the epitome of bad luck now.
However, as soon as she hung up, her phone immediately lit up with another call. Ye Yuning was furious. "What do you really want?"
"I’m at your studio’s entrance."
Ye Yuning sobered up considerably.
Her mind was somewhat foggy, and she had completely forgotten Chen Wei’s earlier call about the bouquet of roses.
Now, hearing Xiao Shuo was at her studio entrance, she instinctively bristled. "Looking for me?"
The moment she spoke, her tone was entirely bewildered.
At that moment, a faint image of the roses finally surfaced in her mind.
Xiao Shuo asked, "Yes, can we talk?"
Damn! So those roses really weren’t meant to provoke a fight? They were actually for apologizing to me?
