CHAPTER 123: CHAPTER 123

But the thought that she didn’t even know why Xiao Linye was angry made her head ache immensely!

Although her head ached, faced with Tang Xi’s words, she couldn’t help but retort, "He’s not like Jiang Bo. Don’t jump to conclusions."

Hearing this, Tang Xi couldn’t help but TSK TSK. "You’ve only known him for such a short time and you already understand him this well? Look at how you’re defending him."

"I’m serious. Right now, he’s covering most of the family expenses, and he seems to be doing it quite effortlessly."

An office worker, covering the expenses of a household, effortlessly?

"Then your expenses must not be very high, right?"

"Currently, there’s a cleaning lady, and I’ve done some grocery shopping. The ingredients he buys are not cheap."

The day she went to Sam’s Supermarket, she didn’t buy much but still spent two to three hundred!

And he always brings home quite a lot each time.

If his salary were really average, he would surely feel the pressure, right? Yet he even suggested hiring a nanny.

She only knew he was in the business department, but not his exact position.

"Then it seems his income is quite decent."

"Yes, it should be," Ye Yuning said.

Speaking of why Xiao Linye was angry, Tang Xi suddenly remembered Ye Yuning’s previous blunder.

Calling his father grandpa and then great-grandfather, right to his face? It would be strange if he weren’t angry.

"About the incident last time, did you do anything afterwards?" Tang Xi asked.

Her sudden question caught Ye Yuning off guard. "What incident?"

"It’s about his father!"

She offended him to that extent; shouldn’t she have made some kind of gesture?

Ye Yuning was silent.

"Didn’t you buy some gifts to apologize?" Tang Xi pressed.

"His family is in Yun City, so far away!"

"No matter how far, how long can it take by plane? Didn’t you even go there this weekend?"

"No!" She really hadn’t gone.

Moreover, she had asked Xiao Linye afterwards, and Xiao Linye had said it was okay if his father was angry.

Tang Xi was instantly speechless.

Although she didn’t particularly like phoenix men, or even their families.

But as of now, wasn’t Xiao Linye still decent in Ye Yuning’s eyes?

If the man himself was acceptable, a woman should also be somewhat accommodating towards his family.

But Ye Yuning, that clueless girl!

"How long has it been? You really haven’t done anything. No wonder he’s angry."

"I asked him. He said it didn’t matter if his dad was angry."

"He’s just considering your feelings, silly."

Ye Yuning was silent. Why couldn’t he just say so directly?

She felt a massive headache coming on!

Tang Xi then lectured her at length about social etiquette and understanding people.

At the end, she also supported her in coaxing Xiao Linye, thinking that this incident was indeed Ye Yuning’s fault.

Of course, if coaxing didn’t work and he refused to be placated, then that kind of man wasn’t worth keeping either.

Ye Yuning understood.

She hung up the phone and was ready to call Xiao Linye directly.

However, just as she picked up her phone, Zheng Cai’s call came in.

Seeing this number made her breath catch, and she immediately hung up.

Yet the person on the other end was persistent and kept calling.

Finally unable to bear it anymore, Ye Yuning answered, "What do you want?"

Zheng Cai said, "Come back home for a meal this weekend."

"I’m not eating!" Ye Yuning retorted.

A meal? She hadn’t managed to eat a single bite during the last "invitation" to that treacherous banquet, and it had only left her seething with frustration.

She had realized that anytime Zheng Cai asked her to return to the Ye Family, there was always some scheme afoot.

This blunt refusal made Zheng Cai, on the other end of the phone, choke.

Then she demanded, "What? Because of the Qin Family incident, do you really plan to never forgive me?"

Ye Yuning remained silent.

"Ye Yuning, don’t forget, everyone in Upper City still recognizes me as your mother!"

Hearing this, Ye Yuning immediately felt nauseous.

"Just say what you want!"

"Bring your husband home for us to see."

So this scheme was aimed at her husband now? Ye Yuning, of course, knew what she was up to.

She scoffed. "You don’t need to scheme against him. He’s just an ordinary office worker; you won’t be getting three hundred million in compensation from him."

Thinking of the three hundred million the Qin Family had given Zheng Cai...

It was obvious Zheng Cai was still smarting over that loss.

After all this time, she still couldn’t resist trying to recoup her losses from Ye Yuning’s new husband?

Why couldn’t these people ever learn their lesson?

Was it because they hadn’t suffered enough at her hands recently?

At this moment, Zheng Cai was at home, with Ye Shilong sitting next to her on the sofa.

When Zheng Cai heard Ye Yuning say her new husband was just an ordinary office worker, her breath caught in her throat, and her expression turned grim.

She instinctively glanced at Ye Shilong sitting beside her, then gritted her teeth. "I raised you to be so outstanding, and this is what you bring home? An ordinary office worker?"

"Now you admit I’m outstanding?"

Ye Yuning retorted, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

Listening to her sharp, cutting words, Zheng Cai felt her vision go dark with rage.
