Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Madam Wang did not think that staying here would affect the results of the competition.
Since that was the case, why would she stay? If she really met the kidnapper, she would really regret it.
Madam Wang thought for a moment and said to Madam Zhang, “Sister-in-law, the competition is over. Staying won’t change anything. The children are still more important.”
“That’s true. I didn’t think it through.” Madam Zhang was somewhat embarrassed.
She felt that she had indeed placed too much importance on benefits. Even her second sister-in-law, who had always been honest, was more open-minded than her.
Madam Zhang’s mentality changed. How could she lose to Madam Wang? Did she still want her face?
Madam Zhang’s psychological changes aside.
When Chu Heng and Chu Cai returned with the three girls.
The family brought the child to the first branch’s courtyard.
Ye Muyu saw Old Madam Ye on the way. She was talking happily with the person beside her. She had the eight-year-old Ye Hai by her side.
Ye Zhao and Madam Su were nowhere to be seen.
Chu Heng followed her line of sight and lowered his head to ask her, “Should I call you mother?”
“Okay, let’s call her over. I just don’t know if it’s convenient for her to stay at Eldest Sister-in-law’s place for now. My mother is careless. Anyway, Mengjie has finished the competition. I don’t feel at ease staying here.” Ye Muyu had thought that this grand event had been held well previously.
However, after the perfume sachet incident, she was always on tenterhooks.
Ye Muyu had been instinctively alert to danger in both of her lives. She would rather believe it than not believe it. Moreover, she was tired of watching for too long, so she naturally did not plan to stay.
When Chu Heng walked to Old Madam Ye’s side, he heard Old Madam Ye flaunting her excellent scholar son-in-law.
Old Madam Ye said, “You guys don’t know, right? Not only is my son-in-law good at studying, but he also treats his wife well. My daughter has never suffered since she married him. Just wait and see. My granddaughter will definitely get a good ranking in this competition.”
“Why don’t you talk about your granddaughter? No matter how good your daughter is, she’s still married off.” The few old women beside her seemed to not like Old Madam Ye being too proud, and they all found words to mock her.
Old Madam Ye smiled even more happily.
“That’s not the main point. The main point is that the child is good. What difference does it make if she marries or not? Look at the clothes I’m wearing. My daughter is filial,” Old Woman Ye said proudly.
“You guys can be envious. My daughter is also very smart. She’s enough to match my son-in-law. I know you guys are envious, so I won’t hold it against you.”
“You’re still pretending to be good after getting a bargain.”
“Mother-in-law.” Chu Heng was still amiable. When Old Madam Ye heard this voice, she dug her ears, thinking that she was hallucinating. She looked at the old women in front of her and asked, “Did someone call me mother-in-law just
The other women were speechless.
Their gazes fell on Chu Heng, who was standing behind Old Woman Ye. Just his appearance alone was enough to satisfy all the old women.
“I wonder if your son-in-law has any brothers?” One of the old women even reached out to grab Old Woman Ye’s hand and asked impatiently.
Old Woman Ye finally reacted. She followed the gaze of the few old women and when she saw Chu Heng behind her, her body subconsciously trembled, and the smile on her face almost disappeared.
Although she was bragging about how good her son-in-law was, she was really afraid of his cold personality.
However, with her sisters watching, Old MadamWoman Ye felt that she could not lose face. She tried her best to force a smile. “Is it really you? I thought I misheard it..”
