Ye Tiao secretly admired her yet turned her head away.
Bai Yuejie and Uncle Liu entered from the door and walked towards this side. Seeing Ye Tiao, Bai Yuejie seemed quite surprised and smiled, "Ye Zi is here too? I brought Shi Mei some bird’s nest and red date porridge, it’s great for replenishing energy and blood. Do you want to have some too?"
Ye Tiao’s face didn’t hide her disdain, "You wouldn’t have poisoned it, would you, given how enthusiastic you are?"
Bai Yuejie was already accustomed to Ye Tiao’s hostility and didn’t mind. She looked at Shi Mei and said, "I wouldn’t poison Shi Mei either. After all, Shi Mei and I are good friends, right, Shi Mei?"
Ye Tiao rolled her eyes.
Shi Mei gave a slight smile and nodded, "Sister Bai is the best to me."
Shi Mei’s demeanor was gloomy and silent, quite contrary to her usual self.
Ye Tiao still had to admire her; this woman knew how to play any role convincingly.
Sure enough, Bai Yuejie looked delighted to hear Shi Mei’s words and became even more enthusiastic as she picked up the porridge and said, "I just visited Brother Ling Yan. The doctor said his condition has improved a lot, and he’s likely to wake up in the next few days. Grandpa Shi and Grandma Shi will be so happy."
Saying so, Bai Yuejie already handed a bowl of porridge to Shi Mei, "Shi Mei, how have you been feeling recently?"
Shi Mei took it and earnestly replied, "Quite well, thanks to Aunt Chen’s carefulness. Thank you, Sister Bai."
The words were few, polite yet distant.
A slight freeze touched Bai Yuejie’s smiling face. Although Shi Mei wasn’t abrasive like Ye Tiao, that demeanor, that look made Bai Yuejie feel like she was warmly approaching someone who responded coldly.
Ye Tiao, seeing Bai Yuejie’s slightly drawn face, felt a thrill inside and spoke bluntly, "Miss Bai, are you perhaps too idle these days? Look at you, you’re about the same age as me, right? You’re already twenty-eight or twenty-nine, aren’t you? Don’t you have relatives or friends who would push you to marry or set you up during holidays?"
Ye Tiao asked with an oddly sincere concern.
Especially combined with the genuine concern on her face, it seemed like just regular chit-chat.
Bai Yuejie, hearing this, could no longer maintain her smile as her brows wrinkled in distress, "Ye Zi... you know I have a heart condition..."
"Oh," exclaimed Ye Tiao as she slapped her forehead, "look at me, I almost forgot. Your health is very good now, after all, the heart in your body still belongs to Tang Wu."
Upon hearing Ye Tiao’s blatantly pointed words, Uncle Liu’s eyes darkened and he said, "Miss Ye, I think you’d better save your words."
"Oh," Ye Tiao looked disdainfully at Bai Yuejie’s butler, unfazed, and said, "How come I should save my words? Did I speak any falsehood? Or did I curse her? Tsk, people need to understand the clear truths and sincere intentions in life to live longer, right Shi Mei?" Follow current novels on novel⸺fire.net
Shi Mei seemed puzzled, frowning.
Bai Yuejie was shocked and looked utterly aggrieved, "I’ve been nothing but sincere with Shi Mei..."
"Enough already, I know you’re sincere with everyone," Ye Tiao sounded quite impatient, "If you weren’t sincere, would Tang Wu have d her heart to you? If you weren’t sincere, would Tang Wu write songs for you? If you weren’t sincere, you wouldn’t be Bai Yuejie today."
