Ye Wanwan walked in and saw several people sitting on the living room sofa.
Su Xiangyi sat alone in the middle, her face expressionless, quietly listening without anyone knowing what she was thinking.
Bai Xiuzhu was seated on the left side of the sofa, crying as she complained about the various wrongdoings of the Qin Family, with Ye Shiying beside her, silent and tearfully hanging her head.
Ye Mingrui was also there today, nonchalantly seated on the right sofa, his legs crossed, casually playing with his phone as if he didn’t care at all about what had happened.
"Wanwan," seeing Ye Wanwan come in, Su Xiangyi’s face finally showed a hint of a smile.
"Mom," Ye Wanwan smiled back at Su Xiangyi.
At this point, the others also looked towards Ye Wanwan, but her gaze went straight to Ye Shiying, who was tearful and looking pitiful.
Ye Shiying also looked at Ye Wanwan, but her eyes were full of hot tears, and she looked extremely aggrieved.
Ye Wanwan frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but then suddenly realized this wasn’t the kind of question to ask in this situation.
So Ye Wanwan shifted her gaze to Bai Xiuzhu and called out indifferently, "Auntie."
Afterward, Ye Wanwan went to sit by Su Xiangyi’s side. Su Xiangyi, holding her hand, whispered to Ye Wanwan, "I was thinking of telling you not to come back today, it’s just upsetting."
In fact, Su Xiangyi’s voice wasn’t low, and everyone in the living room heard her.
Bai Xiuzhu’s crying stopped for a moment, but before she could say anything, Ye Mingrui on the side couldn’t help but interject, "Aunt, what do you mean by that? Aren’t we all one family?"
Su Xiangyi’s gaze turned coldly towards Ye Mingrui, who looked defiant, but eventually he pouted and lowered his head to continue playing on his phone.
There was a moment of silence in the living room, and then Bai Xiuzhu continued crying, "Does the Qin Family really think our Shiying can’t get married, that she has to marry their son?"
"If they didn’t want to get married, they should have said so earlier; creating this drama at the last minute is clearly meant to slap the Ye Family’s face!"
"Sister-in-law, they only dare to do this because they think Shiying has no one to stand up for her!"
Between the lines, Bai Xiuzhu was hoping that Ye Zhenhua would show up.
The Qin Family was originally wary of Ye Zhenhua, which was why they now vehemently denied the eloping and insisted their son was kidnapped.
But the Qin Family didn’t take any further action, evidently believing they couldn’t do much.
Now all it would take was one word from Ye Zhenhua, and the Qin Family would have to come and ask for forgiveness. Then, she could properly "discuss" this marriage with the Qin Family!
Su Xiangyi just listened silently, not uttering a word, as Bai Xiuzhu went on and on.
Ye Wanwan didn’t respond, but she glanced at Ye Shiying several times.
After waiting a long while, when Ye Shiying went to the restroom, Ye Wanwan found an excuse to follow her.
The first-floor restroom was not inside the villa but near the small garden at the back.
It seemed Ye Shiying knew Ye Wanwan was following her, so she stopped in the corridor without going into the restroom.
Sure enough, Ye Shiying had just stopped when Ye Wanwan came out of the villa.
Ye Shiying, with a tissue in her hand, gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, her voice soft and frail, "Wanwan, why did you come here? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
