Though she wanted to talk more with the two, Aunt Tao watched them go and left shortly after.

“I’ve just found out that you are Ye Jian’s uncle. It’s so…”

Upon hearing Ye Jian’s name, Sun Dongqing exploded like a cat being stepped on the tail. “Ye Jian? Old Ye, what did that wicked girl do this time? I’m telling you, our family has nothing to do with her, life or death! That wicked girl, that ungrateful soul! If it weren’t for our family, she would be begging on the streets!”

Her words came out quickly and urgently like firecrackers that she failed to notice how Ye Ying had become anxious and sweaty standing on the side.

“Mom, what… what are you talking about?” Afraid that her mom might say something rash, Ye Ying tugged at her mom and said in a low voice, “Mom, Dad’s face is changing, stop talking! We have a guest here, don’t say such rash things.”

Although Ye Ying wanted more people to hear about Ye Jian’s scandals, she was also a master at reading people’s expressions.

At the moment, they didn’t know anything about this guest. Who was he and why was he looking for Ye Jian?

Sun Dongqing was displeased. “Why, why? How long has it been since that wicked girl last showed up? I asked you and you said you didn’t know. I asked your dad and he wouldn’t tell me! G.o.d knows if she’s been causing trouble elsewhere. That wicked girl…”

“Mom, can you stop?” Ye Ying’s face turned pale after Ye Zhifan had given her a look that made her s.h.i.+ver.

After being interrupted by Sun Dongqing, Secretary Wu could tell that something was not quite right. Instead of showing his concerns, he smiled and asked, “This is…”

“Please excuse my wife, she knows nothing other than cooking. She always goes around making a big deal over the slightest mistakes children make.” In front of an outsider, he could not directly reprimand Sun Dongqing. As someone who works in officialdom, he must master smooth talk, the art of explaining everything clearly by not explaining anything.

Easing up a little, Secretary Wu wanted to say something but decided to wait until Ye Jian’s return instead. He smiled. “So you are Mrs. Ye, and this student here must be Deputy Town Mayor’s daughter.”

“She is. Yingying, come and greet Secretary Wu.” Ye Zhifan noticed a change in the conversation. He knew Secretary Wu came for Ye Jian, but he couldn’t just mention it directly. Covering up the current situation was his priority.

Ye Ying had always been polite and loveable in social affairs. After Sun Dongqing’s offense, Ye Ying acted especially well-mannered and dignified in both her actions and words. “h.e.l.lo, Uncle Wu. Please excuse my mother’s rude comments earlier if she had offended you. She was simply worried about my sister.”

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Ye Zhifan felt somewhat less angry when he saw that his daughter was at least sensible. Yet, he still had to gradually teach her to widen her visions.

“It’s normal for a family to worry, I will be on my way. Deputy Town Mayor Ye, let’s talk next time.” Although Secretary Wu noticed something wasn’t right, he would not put Mrs. Ye on the spot for the sake of Ye Zhifan. He exchanged a few polite words and moved on from the incident.
