If not for the fact that Zhao Youlin had taken over the body of the previous Zhao Youlin via paranormal means, Mu Tingfeng would not fall for her. As such, Su Ruixin’s words came entirely from her wild imagination.
However, they were not so stupid as to remind Su Ruixin about it at this time. How could Zhao Youlin have possibly missed the hint from Su Ruixin’s words? As long as she played along with her words, the elders would certainly s.h.i.+ft to their sides.
When Jiang Wenfang heard Su Ruixin’s words, she cast a glance at them. She appeared to be deep in thought.
As Su Ruixin recalled Zhao Youlin and her son’s past, coupled with all that she had witnessed not long ago, she took Jiang Wenfang’s hand in hers as she said, “Wenfang, they are all grown-ups now. They are following their own train of thought. We are no longer able to restrain them using our own methods. Tingfeng and Youlin are two excellent examples. Although you are not that satisfied with the young master Ye, we do not have the right to this matter. Instead, the right is in the hands of our children…”
“I…” Before Jiang Wenfang could say anything, Su Jifeng could no longer hold himself back. He jerked up and said in disagreement, “Aunt Ruixin, what you said is…”
“I told you to shut up, didn’t I?! The elders are conversing with one another. Who are you to interrupt our conversation?!”
“Mother, I’m no longer a child. I…”
“Sit down!” There was a hint of danger beneath her brief reply. Su Jifeng was rendered speechless. His face turned dark, but he did not say anything nor did he sit down.
“I repeat, sit down.” The moment Su Jifeng’s hesitant eyes met Jiang Wenfang’s, he saw the trace of a terrifying spark explode in her eyes.
After a silent cold war, Jiang Wenfang naturally prevailed.
Su Jifeng returned to his original seat reluctantly. He looked empty-minded and dumbfounded. Meanwhile, Su Liqiang, who sat next to him, shared his feelings. He came over and patted his shoulder. Su Liqiang comforted him in a low voice, “Don’t take it to heart. I’ve experienced this before.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jifeng seemed like he understood something. There was a hint of respect as he stared at his father. “Father, it’s been hard for you over the past…”
“Huh?” While the father-son duo were chatting, Jiang Wenfang cast a glance at them. The depressive duo instantly straightened their bodies and motioned for their mouths to be shut obediently at Jiang Wenfang.
Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were rendered speechless when they were greeted by such a sight.
“The kid has her own train of thought, huh?” Jiang Wenfang mumbled Su Ruixin’s words. A hint of uncertainty flashed across her eyes.
Jiang Wenfang looked up all of a sudden. She turned her head around and stared at Zhao Youlin as she said with a faint smile, “Tingfeng, your wife’s name is Youlin, right?”
Zhao Youlin had never thought that Jiang Wenfang would call her out of the blue. She froze before giving a nod and said, “Yes. Aunt Wenfang, you can call me Youlin.”
The smile on Jiang Wenfang’s face grew increasingly prominent when she saw Zhao Youlin’s generosity. “Youlin, the way you mentioned Xiao Qi made it sound like you’d known her for quite some time.”
Zhao Youlin did not understand as to why Jiang Wenfang had brought up the subject so abruptly. Nonetheless, she obediently gave a nod. “Xiao He and I are just… acquaintances. Apart from being her kith and kin, we’re also considered friends.”
“Friends…” Jiang Wenfang m.u.f.fled her voice before she continued. “Youlin, as her friend, what… what are your thoughts on Mr. Ye? Are they…”
Zhao Youlin was stunned. She finally understood the reason Jiang Wenfang talked to her all of a sudden. She gave a profound glance at Jiang Wenfang before she asked her back, “Aunt Wenfang, don’t you have any knowledge about Xiao Qi’s thoughts of Ye Yan and her desire for him?”
Zhao Youlin’s words struck a chord in Jiang Wenfang’s heart. Jiang Wenfang snapped out of her trance.
Indeed, as Su He’s mother, who better understands her daughter than she?
Zhao Youlin observed Jiang Wenfang’s expression carefully. After she noticed the hint of enlightenment in Jiang Wenfang’s eyes, Zhao Youlin knew that Jiang Wenfang had reached a conclusion to herself. Zhao Youlin went on to say, “Besides, you know Xiao He is highly-skilled. Although she is gentle by nature, she’s not easy to be bullied when she is enraged. With her skill, how could Ye Yan have gotten her pregnant so easily if it hadn’t been of her own volition?”
Jiang Wenfang’s faith was shaken even before she heard her words. She became increasingly convinced after hearing Zhao Youlin’s words that her daughter had fallen deeply in love with Ye Yan. As a result, her expression grew darker.
Zhao Youlin knew that she had said enough. As such, she did not elaborate on her words. She gave Jiang Wenfang sufficient time to consider the matter.
Zhao Youlin was breathing a sigh of relief when she felt an abrupt sense of killing aura surrounding her. She creased her eyebrows and looked in the direction where the murderous intent came from, only to be greeted by the sight of Su Jifeng’s eyes that were filled with anger and resentment.
It was only then did she remember what she had done to deserve his wrath. Zhao Youlin faked a cough and discreetly looked away, pretending she had not noticed anything.
Su Jifeng fell speechless.
Su Jifeng’s murderous intent was so palpable that Mu Tingfeng could feel it. He gave a warning look at Su Jifeng and moved closer to the side to quietly protect Zhao Youlin, as well as blocking Su Jifeng’s gaze from her.
Su Jifeng thought to himself. ‘Darn! Why have I enlisted the help of two stupid teammates to drag my legs?!’
Su Jifeng finally realized he had made a big mistake. Unfortunately, it was already too late. Regardless of how ferociously he stared at the couple, they remained composed and calm. They decided to ignore him until the end of the day.
Su Jifeng was angry. At the same time, he could not do anything to them.
Jiang Wenfang thought about it for a while before deciding to make Ye Yan the focal point. “Ruixin, how much do you know about the young master of the Ye family? What’s his personality like? What’s his character?”
Su Ruixin came to a halt when she heard her question. “Wenfang, you’re asking the wrong person. As you’re aware, Xiaoyang and I spent most of our time overseas. We hardly returned to our country. As such, we don’t know much about the so-called greatest families in Shalnork well, much less Ye Yan’s character.”
Upon hearing Su Ruixin’s words, Jiang Wenfang noticed her abrupt question. It was true that Su Ruixin and Mu Xiaoyang spent the majority of their time overseas. If it had not been Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s problem, they would not have returned to the country. So how could they be aware of other issues?
Su Ruixin saw Jiang Wenfang’s disappointed look. She thought it over for a while before she added. “But if you want a more in-depth understanding, you can ask Youlin and the rest of her group. They are, after all, of the same generation. They certainly know him better than we do. If I’m not mistaken, Ye Group works on a project with Zhao Enterprise.. I believe Youlin knows the young master Ye’s character better than we do.”
