Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Old Lady saw Butler Luther, and her expression changed drastically, even revealing hatred and fear. “Why are you here?”
Her voice was overly sharp and made others who listened to it uncomfortable. She also gave Ye Feifei and Ye Bao a shock.
Butler Luther greeted her unhurriedly. “Old Lady, how are you?”
The old gentleman Luther, no matter if in temperament, dressing, and speech, did not seem like Ye Old Lady at all. It was hard to imagine that they had dealings before. They seemed like they belonged on parallel lines.
Shen Qianshu recalled Aventura.
Without Aventura, their paths would not have intersected.
“Where’s Ye Ling? Tell him to meet me,” said Ye Old Lady, fl.u.s.tered. Ye Feifei did not recognize Butler Luther and only knew that he was a butler in the castle and was French. She pressed onto the old lady’s hand hurriedly. “Mom!”
The mother and daughter exchanged glances. Ye Feifei was anxious too. They were not here to argue with Ye Feifei. If they did not reconcile with him, they would really be doomed. Ye Feifei, the Lu Family, and Ye Bao were all very anxious.
Shen Qianshu was not at the center of the conflict. However, she was the only one who could persuade Ye Ling. She was their hope. Ye Feifei did not dare to vent her emotions on Shen Qianshu.
“Ye Ling’s working. If you have urgent matters, go and look for him. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go to work now. It’ll be the same for Butler Luther to entertain you,” said Shen Qianshu coldly.
“Stand right there!” The Old Lady shouted at her.
Shen Qianshu breathed deeply. She told them to sit down and gestured to Tong Hua secretly to not make any noise. Butler Luther stood at a side and looked at them benevolently with a smile. The old lady said, “You are getting married? The date is chosen too. Why didn’t you give us a notice?”
Shen Qianshu covered her mouth and laughed. “Ye Old Lady, Ye Ling said that the decision is in his hands. I’m only a bride. I just need to be married off prettily. I don’t have to worry about anything else. You don’t have to worry either. Just enjoy your retirement.”
The old lady hated Shen Qianshu’s unaffected appearance the most. Everything she said would be deflected back by Shen Qianshu. This made her extremely unhappy. Shen Qianshu pursed her lips and said, “Didn’t he invite you? This shouldn’t be the case. You are his Grandma. Why would he not invite you? I’ll reprimand him later. You must attend the wedding. We’d welcome you too.”
The old lady was speechless. “…”
Tong Hua chuckled. Mommy, your shocked expression is really inviting a beating.
This made the Ye Old Lady furious. It was as if she was begging to attend their wedding. Ye Feifei said, “Miss Shen, we have offended you in the past. Please be generous and don’t hold a grudge against us. We came here specially to reconcile. You are going to be married to Ye Ling soon. We are one family, right?”
“Yes, one family,” said Shen Qianshu. “I have always been generous to my family.”
Ye Feifei s.h.i.+vered. She recalled Lu Mengxi’s fingers. Her fingers were broken in an extremely ugly manner. At home, it was as if she had gone mad. She would scold Shen Qianshu every day, saying that it was Shen Qianshu who ordered men to cut off her fingers. It was like she was really crazy. This gave Ye Feifei a lingering fear, and she did not dare to offend Shen Qianshu.
What if her fingers were gone too?
“So why are you here?”
The Old Lady looked at Butler Luther with a darkened face. Butler Luther looked at her and smiled coldly. “You must have regretted your choice back then!”
