Starlight Has No Past

Chapter 35 Part 2

Ye Qiao yanked Qianxi’s arms off her and said: “Grandma never speaks at the dinner table,  how could she ask you anything?”
Qianxi faked crying: “It’s all my dad’s fault . He told grandma that I haven’t been working hard and that I don’t even have a boyfriend……”
The Ye family didn’t interfere with the next generation’s lives as long as they were on the right track . What the older generation cared about were the two things Qianxi just listed . However, Ye Qiao was suspicious about Qianxi’s claims of not having a boyfriend . She looked at Qianxi dubiously and Qianxi winked at her . She then realized that Qianxi hadn’t told her family about it .

Ye Deru gently scolded: “That’s enough . Let your cousin sit down to have dinner . ”
They had just started eating not long ago . As Qianxi went back to her seat, the housekeeper brought another set of bowl and chopsticks . Ye Qiao took off her jacket and apologized: “I just arrived in Yang City last night and rushed to an audition today . Sorry, I’ve come empty handed, grandma . ”
“Grandma won’t blame you for that . ” The old lady disapprovingly said: “You don’t have to be so courteous with your grandma . All the formality can wait till you’re married . ”
Ye Qiao’s aunt also agreed . After Ye Qiao sat down, her uncle immediately asked: “Qianxi said that you had lost your cell phone . Why don’t you buy a new one? Your aunt tried to call you to invite you for dinner but couldn’t get ahold of you . ”
Ye Qiao made an excuse: “I haven’t had time to get one yet . I’ll buy a new one in a few days . ”

Qianxi grew excited about buying a new phone: “Cousin, which one are you going to buy? The 6S just came out . I’m going to ask my cla.s.smate to buy one from the US . Do you want one too?”
Ye Qiao said: “It’s alright . I’ll just buy one myself . ”
Ye Zhiliang scolded Qianxi, annoyed: “That’s all you care everyday . In the beginning, you begged to study medicine . Now you’ve learned medicine but aren’t diligent in your studies .
You can’t stick to your goals . ”
“Dad-- --” Qianxi sadly said: “Why do you have to make everything related to work!”

Ye Qiao listened to their exchange at the dinner table . Her aunt, sitting next to her, poured some soup for her and asked: “She must have caused a lot of trouble for you when she was in G City?”
Ye Qiao a.s.sured her aunt that Qianxi didn’t . Her aunt continued with a content smile: “Qianxi has transformed from a naughty monkey . She’s over 20 now and I don’t know who will be able to rein her in, in the future . ”
Ye Qiao answered with a polite smile: “She just likes to have fun, but she knows her limits . ”
Her aunt thought for a second and agreed, then asked with a smile: “How about you? Grandma cares a lot about you . Our family hasn’t given you any support when you entered the business, mainly because grandma wishes that you give it up after a couple of years . Nowadays, we notice that you’ve done very well and it’s probably impossible for you to give it up so easily . Grandma’s since transferred her attention to the other topic of interest . ”
Ye Qiao lowered her head: “En . I know it all . ”
He aunt happily said: “That’s good . Grandma won’t have anything to worry about after you and Qianxi all settle down . ”
Just as she finished, Qianxi barged into the conversation: “Mom! What are you talking about with my cousin? You’ve been nagging me all the time… . . . Tsk, tsk, now you won’t even let my cousin alone!”
Qianxi got another scolding her way . Ye Qiao uneasily smiled and buried her head in the food, preparing to keep quiet all the way through the dinner .

It was then that the doorbell rang . In order to get away from the nagging of her mother, Qianxi immediately said:  “I’ll get the door!” But was stopped by her mother, who hadn’t finished her lecture: “You don’t need to do that . ”
Ye Qiao put down her bowl and chopsticks, quickly wiped her mouth, and said: “I’ll get it . ”
