“Sister, why are you being like this?Mom came over with good intentions to see you, after you had that fight with Dad yesterday, Mom and I were really worried about you,” Rouxin said, typically with a face full of tenderness, trying to mediate.
Ye Anran’s eyes, frigid and detached, swept towards her, “Rouxin, aren’t you tired?”
“Sister, what do you mean by that?”
“There’s no one else here, so you can drop the act.
You might not be tired, but I’m tired for you!” Whenever there were others around, Rouxin was always such a good girl!
Always, since we were young!~
But Ye Anran had long seen through her true face!
“Sister, I know you blame me for what happened with Youlin, but how could we control matters of the heart?
Youlin proposed to me last night, and I was just as surprised, I had no idea beforehand, if I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have allowed him to do that…”
When Ye Anran heard her words, a cold sneer curled up at the corner of her lips, and she crossed her arms, leisurely observing her, “Oh?
Now that you know, are you going to hand Bo Youlin over to me?”
Rouxin did not expect Ye Anran to say such a thing, and suddenly, her eyes widened in shock, “But…
how could I?
Youlin and I are truly in love, and we are already engaged.
Besides, considering what happened with Uncle Bo, Youlin will not like you anymore~”
Li Xuewen had just been angered by Ye Anran, almost forgetting the purpose of her visit today, but then she remembered and managed to suppress the anger welling up inside her.
Her voice softened, and she gently said, “Alright, Anran, I know you are upset, but families shouldn’t harbor so much anger.
I pleaded with your father last night for a long time, and he said he would forgive you.
Tonight, come home early, I will have the servants prepare a table of delicious food, and you and your father can have a good talk, make up, and shake hands, okay?”
Ye Anran, upon hearing Li Xuewen’s tender tone and words, knit her brows slightly, a look of suspicion and inquiry filling her bright eyes.
Why is it that she smelled a weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken?
Hadn’t Li Xuewen always been eager for her to fall out with Dad so she could get rid of me?
Now, had her brain been pinched by a door?
“Sister, Mom said a lot of good things to help you plead with Dad…” Rouxin added, following the lead.
Ye Anran walked over to the wardrobe in the dormitory, opened the doors, and, as if she heard nothing, calmly took out a T-shirt and jeans.
Then, turning around, she looked towards Li Xuewen and Rouxin.
Her expression was chilly, “I’m going to change clothes, please go out!”
Li Xuewen hadn’t expected the normally agreeable Ye Anran to be so irritatingly stubborn.
She had already lowered herself to ask, yet she had the nerve to refuse to give face, and Li Xuewen was about to explode on the spot.
Rouxin quickly pushed her, afraid that Li Xuewen would ruin ‘important matters,’ and then softly coaxed,
“Sister, don’t be so headstrong.
You can’t really fall out with Dad, can you?
We women still need a powerful family behind us to find a good marriage.
That way, our in-laws wouldn’t dare to bully us…”
She spoke as if she only had Ye Anran’s best interests at heart.
Ye Anran didn’t even glance at her, tossed the clothes forcefully onto her bed, turned her head coldly, and shot a fierce glance at Rouxin, “Are you deaf?”
Rouxin’s face immediately changed, and she deliberately put on a look of aggrieved suffering, as if tears were about to fall.
Zuo Aiai: …
So disgusting!
But her Mistress An was so cool and handsome today!
“Ye Anran, you really don’t know how to appreciate kindness!” Li Xuewen, unable to bear the insult, immediately retorted.
“If you can’t understand human speech, do I need to go outside and get a dog to tell you to get out?” Don’t think Ye Anran was usually low-key and easy-going; once provoked, she was like a little tyrannosaur!
“And another thing, my mother didn’t give birth to a daughter like you, so don’t casually call me sister.
Hearing it just makes me sick!”
“Ye Anran, what do you mean by that?” Ye Rouxin couldn’t keep up her disguise anymore, and her expression changed instantly.
“My mother would never give birth to a mistress, let alone someone who would steal her sister’s man!
That’s exactly what I mean, so what?”
Ye Anran’s face was cold, her sharp tongue striking with each sentence.
She had tolerated these two women for a long time!
She had already been suppressing a bellyful of fire, and these two women came looking for a scolding!
Not to scold them would be stupid!
Li Xuewen caught the sarcasm in Ye Anran’s words.
She had always been subtly ostracized in wealthy circles due to her status as a mistress, and only in recent years had she earned a bit of a good reputation with her clever tactics.
Ye Anran’s words, no doubt, scratched her wounds, and Li Xuewen was so angry that she reached out, intending to slap Ye Anran.
Ye Anran had anticipated Li Xuewen’s fury and embarrassment.
When she saw the hand coming towards her, her bright eyes narrowed slightly.
Zuo Aiai, who was nearby, started yelling in alarm, “Anran, be careful!”
The words had barely left her mouth.
When suddenly, Li Xuewen’s hand…
landed heavily on a lazy Susan computer desk.
Slap!
The desk was made of wood, and the heavy strike made it all the more painful for Li Xuewen.
Zuo Aiai, with stars in her eyes.
Mistress An, so cool!
Ye Anran had never been a pushover.
In the past, she refrained from bickering only to maintain the last bit of family affection.
But now, she didn’t need to!
Her eyes turned cold, and she glanced at Ye Rouxin, holding the computer desk and giving it a shake, “What about you, do you want to try?”
“Ye Anran, you are simply a shrew!” Ye Rouxin shouted, quickly helping Li Xuewen and hurrying out, not daring to stay any longer.
As she watched them leave, Ye Anran placed the computer desk on the bed, a cold smile curving her lips.
“Mistress An, you were so cool just now!
I want to marry you!” Zuo Aiai’s eyes sparkled as she shrieked and pounced on Ye Anran.
“Roll, roll, roll, you traitor.
I, your mistress, will gift you a ‘yard of red’!” Ye Anran laughed as she and Zuo Aiai playfully tussled.
She had just realized that releasing emotions felt so satisfying!
…
“Mom, what do we do now?
Ye Anran refuses to come home; how will we execute our plan?”
“Are you an idiot?
If she won’t come home, we’ll find a way to lure her out.
Once she leaves the school, that Li Ming kid has plenty of tricks up his sleeve.
Are you worried we can’t deal with Ye Anran?”
“You’re right!” Ye Rouxin laughed, a malicious gleam in her eye.
Once Ye Anran fell into Li Ming’s hands, she would have no chance in this lifetime!
Dreaming of marrying into the Bo Family!
As if!
