CHAPTER 527: CHAPTER 317: DISPUTE AND DOUBT

"Qing He, what do you mean by that? Do you still see me as your Second Aunt?" Si Yue’s cheeks flushed red as she glared angrily at Ye Qinghe.

Ye Qinghe glanced at her expressionlessly: "I mean nothing by it, I just can’t stand how you’re obviously calculating for your own family, yet you still put on such a righteous façade."

"Little brother, little sister-in-law, look, this is the good daughter you’ve raised!" Si Yue trembled with anger: "Besides, what’s wrong with considering my son’s lifelong happiness? Doesn’t everyone want their children to have a good marriage, a good future?"

Miao Aining glared harshly at her daughter, then looked apologetically at Si Yue: "Second sister-in-law, this child has always been outspoken, please don’t take it to heart."

"Outspoken? Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

Ruo Luoye would definitely sigh inwardly if he were here, appearances can be deceiving, Si Yue may look plump and kind, but does she really show any kindness?

Miao Aining awkwardly apologized again: "Second sister-in-law, I spoke without thinking, I’m sorry, please don’t take it personally."

"Sister-in-law, you’re not wrong, it’s her who’s always causing trouble for no reason, as a professor who educates, what’s the difference between her and a vulgar shrew?" Second Uncle Ye looked gravely at Si Yue: "In this family, you’re always stirring trouble!"

"Am I stirring trouble for whom? So what if I’m a professor, should a professor always keep silent and endure?" Just then, Ye Qinglian walked in, Si Yue finally found her savior, pulling her daughter: "Qinglian, come and give your mom some advice..."

After Si Yue explained the situation, Ye Qinglian gave her a look and walked towards the sullen Su Sha: "Third Aunt, please don’t take my mom’s words to heart, every mother feels their son is the best, please don’t mind her."

Ye Qinghe scoffed: "Big sister, can you stop being so hypocritical? Aren’t you just thinking about having Third Aunt push Qiao Xiaowan towards Ye Jian?"

"Qing He!" Miao Aining shouted to stop her.

"Mom, I’m just telling the truth." Ye Qinghe looked defiant.

Ye Qinglian stared at her displeased: "Qing He, what exactly do you mean? Yes, we do want Qiao Xiaowan to marry Xiao Jian, so what? How does this marriage concern you? Do you have to repeatedly incite trouble?"

"I’m just being honest, I don’t like how some people beat around the bush."

"Xiao He, I indeed like Qiao Xiaowan, is there anything wrong with that? Since big brother doesn’t like her and I’m not stealing his beloved, can you stop targeting me?" Ye Jian finally couldn’t stand it and joined the argument.

"What a taste." Ye Qinghe rolled her eyes.

"Qing He, I know exactly why you dislike Xiao Wan, shall I speak the truth?"

"Whatever!"

"..."

Uncle Ye stood up: "Second brother, I need to step out for some air, are you coming?"

"Sure!" Second Uncle Ye quickly followed, stepping outside he sighed: "It’s true what they say, one should marry a virtuous wife; my two kids have been completely spoiled, and by the time I realized, it was too late to change their nature."

Uncle Ye sympathetically patted Second Uncle Ye: "Second brother, it’s been so many years, you should be used to it by now."

"What can I do if I’m not used to it?" Second Uncle Ye sighed again: "Both I and Third and Seventh, we’ve all had troubles in this regard, we can’t make the same mistake with the next generation."

"What if the second sister-in-law insists on proposing marriage to the Qiao Family?"

Second Uncle Ye stroked his forehead: "Xiao Wan has always been fond of Xiao Xuan, if she sees there’s no hope, she might agree to marry Xiao Jian out of spite, and that would be another Si Yue, no, we must nip this in the bud!"

"Second brother, Si Yue and Si Shan are biological sisters, the difference in their personalities is too big, Ninth really is lucky."

"Are you sincerely trying to vex me?" Second Uncle Ye punched Uncle in frustration, changing the subject: "Old Five, what are the chances of being promoted in the next election?"

Uncle Ye pondered for a moment: "I’ve calculated, there should be a fifty percent chance, we can also wait until the next term as I will still be of an appropriate age."

"With the addition of Seventh sister-in-law’s War Department, at least a thirty percent increase in confidence is possible." Second Uncle Ye touched his chin: "Old Five, have you forgotten about the Zhan Family?"

"Ah!" Uncle Ye suddenly smacked his forehead: "It came so suddenly, I haven’t even reacted yet."

"Grandpa, dad, mom!" Seeing Grandpa and others approaching, the brothers hurriedly greeted.

The old man snorted at them and led the way into the hall.

The previously heated Si Yue, Ye Qinglian, Ye Qinghe, Ye Jian seeing Grandpa come in, all promptly shut their mouths and obediently sat down.
