Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Caught in the Middle Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Caught in the Middle “Enough, Feifei, stop talking,” Ye Wei’an interrupted, “I promised Mom and Dad to take care of my sister at school. Besides, she’s just returned and is still adjusting.”
While cursing Shen Zhaozhao for being meddlesome, Ye Wei’an reminded Meng Feifei to stop talking. If she continued, wouldn’t it make others suspect that she also harbored grievances against Ye Zhen?
Moreover, Ye Zhen was the Ye family’s biological daughter, and she was only an adopted daughter. To say that associating with the other as sisters was bad luck, wasn’t that implying that she shouldn’t have been adopted by the Ye family, or that Ye Zhen shouldn’t have come back?
If word got out, not only would her adoptive parents disapprove, but others would also accuse her of being ungrateful.
Meng Feifei curled her lips, completely missing the hint in Ye Wei’an’s words, and disdainfully said, “Stop making excuses for her. Those who are found from outside always lack upbringing. It’s one thing to be stupid, but she constantly tries to outdo you, aiming to suppress you in every aspect. She should look at herself; she’s just embarrassing herself!”
Ye Wei’an’s expression stiffened as she cursed “idiot” under her breath, put on a stern face, and feigned displeasure, “Feifei, that’s my sister. Don’t talk about her like that again.”
Meng Feifei also felt displeased. She was clearly speaking up for Vivian, yet the other always sided with others and kept reprimanding her.
Moreover, hadn’t Vivian tacitly agreed with everything she said before?
Now feigning a close sisterly bond?
It left her feeling wronged on all sides.
“So, you’re saying my sister hasn’t troubled you?” Ye Wei’an just wanted to know what exactly had transpired between Ye Zhen and Shen Zhaozhao, completely unaware of Meng Feifei’s displeased expression.
“Of course not. Why would your sister deliberately trouble me?” Shen Zhaozhao said.
“Then I misunderstood, sorry!” Ye Wei’an awkwardly began, “My sister has always lived outside, and I heard she didn’t have a good time, so she’s somewhat extreme. Because our parents pity her, they’ve been more indulgent, which means she can be inconsiderate. She had misunderstandings with quite a few classmates before. Hearing she had gone to find you, I thought, she had gone there to bother you.”
With a few light words, the other painted Ye Zhen as someone brought back from outside, extreme, lacking upbringing, and impulsive, while she was portrayed as worried about her sister causing trouble, trying to help amend issues, confused because of her concern, thus asking those questions.
If not for realizing that the other was not simple, Shen Zhaozhao might have really believed that narrative, also thinking the sister naive and troublesome, while the sister-in-law appeared tender, generous, and kind.
Shen Zhaozhao: “No worries, I know it’s because you care, but as sisters, you should be closer than others. If you ask me, you should trust her more, not just take whatever others say at face value. You assume it’s definitely her fault without understanding the full story–how disappointed she must be!”
Ye Wei’an took a deep breath and said, “I understand now!”
“That’s good,” Shen Zhaozhao finished speaking and returned to her own seat.
As she turned around, Ye Wei’an’s expression could no longer be maintained.
Her face darkened instantly, a shadow flickering in her eyes.
Seeing this, Meng Feifei’s heart suddenly jumped. She found Ye Wei’an’s current demeanor somewhat frightening and tentatively called out, “Vivian?”
