Liu Duo really thought that Ye Mo was crazy. Whatever kind of person Ye Xuan was, how was it any of her business? She didn’t need to know that. This was unreasonable!
She huffed, and ignored him.
Ye Mo got himself irritated again because Liu Duo did not reply to him, nor did she look at him. He did not like it at all. “I’m talking to you. Do you hear me! Don’t flirt with strangers!”
And he’s a guy too! He left that part unspoken and locked in his mind.
Liu Duo twitched her lips at the way Ye Mo talked to her like he was teaching children.
Mentally, I’m older than you, and you want to teach me? Hilarious! She thought, and went on ignoring him.
“Mo, actually what Ye Xuan did back there was right. He didn’t mean it to happen this way,” Li Wazi said.
He also felt that Ye Xuan had done the right thing, and he hadn’t forgetten to apologise to Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye.
Ye Mo got angrier when he heard that. As though his own wife praising that man wasn’t enough, his friend had to put in a good word too? He yelled, “Li Wazi, I’m severing ties with you!”
He really didn’t need a friend like him!
Li Wazi, stunned, rubbed his ears and asked blankly again, “Ah?”
What did I do? Was it something I said? Why does he suddenly want to cut ties with me? Li Wazi couldn’t think straight.
Seeing him just standing there in shock, as though disconnected with the world, a frustrated Ye Mo went to shoo him out of the yard, “Get out. Get out now! Go back to your wife, and don’t let me see you again!”
Ye Mo felt that he had wasted so much time being friends with an idiot friend. And what a terrible friend that guy had been!
Even after he got chased out of the yard, Li Wazi still couldn’t understand what went wrong. Was this the end of their friendship? No, he didn’t want that! They had known each other for years. How could one moment end it all? And without any clarification!
“Mo, Mo, open up! I don’t want this. I don’t want this to end…” Li Wazi knocked on the door, shouting, like an abandoned wife.
Liu Duo heard him listing all the things he didn’t want to do, and felt that he sounded weird. She laughed out loud.
“Mo, what’s this about? Brother Li didn’t do anything wrong, and he led you to those people, whom you scared away,” Ye Ling had heard Li Wazi’s cries too, and he couldn’t bear to see him like that.
To Ling, Li Wazi was just as important as his brothers.
Ye Yang glanced at Ye Mo, then he got up and opened the door for Li Wazi.
Once he got in, Li Wazi bellowed at Ye Mo, “You’re a heartless man, Ye Mo! You can talk about severing ties just like that? You make me so mad!”
With that, he left. Ye Mo was next to be dumbstruck. What was that just now? The look of someone who had been abandoned? Wronged?
Ye Mo thought of Li Wazi and the look in his eyes, and he felt goosebumps all over his body. He thought, Damn, how is it that I’ve never realised his feminine side before?
Morning passed just like that. By noon, every household was busy preparing lunch.
Ye Yang and the rest also started cooking. No one mentioned the morning’s incident! But deep down inside, everyone shuddered. How could there be a grandmother who behaved like that?
When lunch was ready, they sat by the table, and just as they started to eat, their favourite Aunt Ye dropped by and hurried over, “Are you having lunch?”
She had heard rumours about how Ye Mo had beaten up his aunt because she wanted to relocate the grave or something like that, so she had come over immediately.
“Aunt Ye, why did you come? Have you eaten lunch? Come, let’s eat together,” Liu Duo quickly came to greet her. She liked this aunt very much.
