Chapter 2107: Annoying
Her dream had just started. Before she could get a step closer, Ye Zhifan had poured cold water on her. Ye Ying almost cried.
Although she didn’t think it was impossible, she didn’t dare say it out loud again. She could only think about it silently.
“Go back to your room and rest. Get up early tomorrow and wait for the chauffeur sent by Madam Li. It’s good to go to the Li family early. I’m sure Madam Li will introduce you to the wife of a high-ranking official who’s on good terms with her. As long as you get close to the Du family, Ye Ying, your marriage won’t be too bad either.” Ye Zhifan didn’t dare to think about his daughter marrying into the Du family. He just wanted to get Madam Li’s help.
Thinking that Madam Li would send a chauffeur to fetch her to the Du family tomorrow, Ye Ying felt better.
After returning to her room, she took a bubble bath. Before she went to bed, Ye Ying realized that her phone was out of battery. She plugged it in and fell asleep without turning it on.
Ye Zhifan was worried that something would happen at the bureau. He charged his phone for a while and turned it on. Just as he turned on his phone, countless text messages sounded. It was either his home phone or Sun Dongqing’s phone. There were nearly 30 messages!
Ye Zhifan, who was rarely called by Sun Dongqing, called home with a calm expression. No one picked up the phone. The phone was switched off. He, who had no patience with his wife, ignored her. He turned his phone to silent mode and fell asleep.
At this moment, Sun Dongqing was flying straight to the capital city in a luxurious cabin. The other pa.s.sengers were already asleep, but she was not sleepy at all. Her eyes were wide open. She was hoping to get off the plane as soon as possible.
In the car, Madam Li was asking Li Yuan what his impression of Ye Ying was.
Li Yuan did not think too much about it and was not very interested. He said calmly to please Madam Li, “She’s alright. At least she looks more pleasing to the eyes. She’s not like the women I’ve seen in the past who think they’re so impressive. As for her, she looks like she has a good personality and doesn’t look like she would cause trouble.”
…
“Mom, it’s useless to ask Li Yuan. As long as the woman is beautiful, he’ll think that she’s good.” Du Jiayi smiled coldly. She couldn’t hide her disdain for Ye Ying. “She’s indeed good-looking, but I really don’t see anything good about her personality.
“Biting dogs don’t bark. That’s what people like her do. They don’t cause trouble because she doesn’t have the b.a.l.l.s to mess with our family right now.”
Madam Li had long seen that her daughter was targeting Ye Ying. Just because she didn’t say it didn’t mean that she didn’t know. When she heard this, she smiled at her daughter, who had always had a sharp eye. She praised, “Your judgment of people is indeed better than Li Yuan’s. Just because Ye Ying isn’t causing trouble now doesn’t mean that she’s truly weak. But her personality is still considered gentle. I admire her forbearance.
“She also has a sweet tongue. She’s as good with words as her father. She doesn’t give the impression of flattery. She just seems to have some enthusiasm. As for handling matters, she’s quite tactful for her age. She’s much better than the women your brother was in contact with before.”
When Staff Officer Du, who was sitting in the front, heard this, he turned his head and said to his children, “Your mother is very satisfied with her. The two of you can just go along with what she says. You don’t have to bring up anything else.”
...
“Dad, you’ve always been on Mom’s side. Look ahead and don’t talk. Don’t interrupt us!” Du Jiayi leaned forward and raised her bare hand to cover the side of Staff Officer Du’s face. She then pushed it. “We’ll say our piece. Just listen.”
“Fine, fine, fine. I won’t talk about it. You guys keep talking.” Staff Officer Du, who had his face pushed by his daughter, laughed out loud. He had always left the family alone. Having his wife manage the family was enough.
If she said it was good, then it was good. If she said it wasn’t, then it wasn’t.
