Chapter 550: Chapter 550: The Main Mother Steps Down, Choosing a New Wife
Cao Shiyu is now pregnant with a great-grandson of the Ye Family. If it’s a boy, he would be the eldest grandson, and naturally, his value would be different.
Before Elder Ye could consider too much, the banquet officially began.
Su Hongxing saw Ye Xiandong pulling Elder Ye into the study for a private talk; she probably understood that the Ye Family’s grandfather and grandson were discussing some dirty business.
She was somewhat worried about Qiao Qiao. After all, today’s birthday banquet was grand, and all the attendees were either wealthy or noble. Qiao Qiao was isolated and helpless, now all her hopes were pinned on Ye Shiqing. If Ye Shiqing suddenly backed out and stopped cooperating, what could they do?
Ye Qilan saw Su Hongxing’s restlessness, he comforted her: “Don’t worry, with the second brother here, he will definitely counteract Ye San and Cao Shiyu, leaving them powerless to fight back.”
This woman was so nervous that her palms were sweaty, which showed how much she cared about Qiao Qiao.
She cared about so many people, but he was the only one absent from her heart.
The banquet was full of dazzling and enchanting outfits, like a microcosm of high society.
Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan were sitting in a hidden corner and did not participate in the birthday celebration tidal wave.
Their purpose for attending today was to watch Ye Xiandong and Cao Shiyu make fools of themselves.
After a short while, Ye Xiandong appeared within everyone’s sight hand in hand with Cao Shiyu.
Cao Shiyu was wearing a silver bare-shouldered evening dress tonight. As an attractively petite woman, she looked even more delicate and charming under the lights, combining sweetness and sexiness perfectly well.
Ye Qilan also saw Cao Shiyu, his gaze was fixed on her sweet smile.
He once abandoned Su Hongxing for Cao Shiyu’s smile. He used to be moved by such a smile. At that time, he thought Cao Shiyu was more important than Su Hongxing, only to realize later that he was attracted to Cao Shiyu’s smile because it was similar to Su Hongxing’s.
Perhaps there is no one more foolish than him in this world?
He had easily let go of Su Hongxing’s hand, and now he wanted to hold it back, but he didn’t know how to do that.
The moment Ye Xiandong appeared intimately with Cao Shiyu at Elder Ye’s birthday banquet, murmurs began amongst everyone.
Everyone knew what kind of occasion this was tonight.
As the leader of the Ye Family, Ye Xiandong showed up at such a big occasion with Cao Shiyu, both of them acting very intimate.
Plus, recently there were rumors that Cao Shiyu and Ye Xiandong spent night together, and now they appeared so prominently at such an event. Does this imply that Madam Ye’s position would soon change hands?
Everyone instinctively started searching for Qiao Qiao.
Three years ago when Qiao Qiao married Ye Xiandong, she had also been subjected to intense media scrutiny. For the first year after their marriage, they occasionally attended charity dinners.
At that time, everyone said how lucky Qiao Qiao was to marry Ye San and become the wife of the chairman of the Ye Family.
But now it seemed, Qiao Qiao was on her way out.
At this moment, Qiao Qiao hadn’t shown up yet. Could it be that she had no face to show up? Or perhaps, had Cao Shiyu already taken over the Ye Family, and Qiao Qiao was already ousted?
In fact, it’s not hard to imagine. The high society is full of all kinds of competition for fame and fortune.
The Qiao Family was not as glorified as before, and their business was declining. If Ye Xiandong thought Qiao Qiao was unfit to be the host mother, it would be sensible for him to choose some other young wife.
While everyone was speculating maliciously, suddenly there was a commotion.
Everyone looked in the direction of the noise and saw Qiao Qiao enter wearing a light pink knee-length dress.
Her outfit didn’t look like she was attending a grand banquet; instead, it had a strong domestic feeling. But appearing in such attire at such an event didn’t look out of place at all.
