Everyone gathered around the dining table at the old Ye residence.
They chatted while they waited for Ye Jian and the others to come home.
Ye Jian, Jiang Yu-Lang, and Jiang Yu-Qing had gone into the city to ski and weren't home yet.
They had just called to say they were on their way home.
Since it was the Lunar New Year, they waited forthem before they started having their reunion dinner.
Ye Xi-Lan and her siblings chatted with Old Master Ye while Lu Wen-Jing bugged Ye Fan to play with her.
Stars hung in the sky while fireworks shot into the air.
Yeyang was as bright as day tonight.
"Sigh. Doesn't time just fly? In no time, Jian and the others have reached marrying age. Xi-Lan, you must keep your eyes open for Jian for any nice girls in Jianghai. If you see any good single girls, you must introduce them to us. Although my son has plenty of girlfriends, I don't like them. Other than good looks, they are useless. My son is so childish. His IQ disappears whenever he sees pretty girls and gives them everything they want. Just look at him. We have to help him keep an eye out for girls, right? Or else, he will keep getting conned," sighed Ye Ya's wife at the dining table.
At the thought of Ye Jian, she became worried.
Her son was in his 20s, but he had yet to find a girl he liked. Of course, she was worried.
Ye Ya's wife finally found a girl she approved a few days ago, but Chen Nan was blind and liked Ye Fan instead.
She found it completely inconceivable.
In hindsight, Ye Fan and Chen Nan were probably in cahoots. He must have told Chen Nan to say those things just to embarrass their family!
Ever since that episode, Ye Ya's wife completely ignored Ye Fan and kept giving their family a hard time.
"Just listen to what you're saying. Don't worry. He's the only nephew I have, so I will definitely keep my eyes peeled. But I think it would be wiser to get Tian and Mei to help. Tian is the county mayor, so plenty of people will come by to wish him a happy new year. He's powerful and has the connections. If he can help, your son might end up marrying the county mayor's daughter," replied Ye Xi-Lan as she laughed.
Dong Mei shook her head hurriedly and said, "Enough, Xi-Lan. Stop teasing your brother. If your brother were that capable, then Fan wouldn't have become a live-in husband. Sometimes, things are destined to turn out that way."
Dong Mei sadly sighed as she talked about Ye Fan.
"How can you say that Mei? How can Fan compare to Jian? Jian is handsome and eloquent. Also, Ya is a famous entrepreneur in town. How can Jian have any trouble finding a partner given how good he is?" said Ye Xi-Lan angrily in an instant before Ye Jian's mother spoke a word.
"That's right. Mei, I don't like it when you say that. How can Jian compare to a live-in husband like Ye Fan?" asked Ye Ya's wife as well.
Dong Mei hurriedly explained. They had misunderstood what she meant.
Ye Xi-Mei started to look upset as they chatted.
They could praise Ye Jian all they wanted, but did they have to dismiss Ye Fan?
Even Ye Fan couldn't help frowning.
In the past, Ye Fan didn't care what they said about him.
However, it was the Lunar New Year's eve tonight and a joyous occasion, but here they were making his mother upset.
Ye Fan stood up angrily, but a hand reached out and grabbed his arm.
It was his mother's hand.
She shook her head at Ye Fan with a calm look on her charming face.
She seemed to be comforting Ye Fan and telling him to bear with it.
PAK!
Ye Xi-Lan was probably too excited, so she accidentally knocked over a cup of water on the table. The water came trickling down and made Ye Jian's seat completely wet in an instant.
"Oh gosh, I was too excited to see my nephew and spilled the water. Ye Fan, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get your cousin another chair," ordered Ye Xi-Lan as she turned around after she laughed.
Ye Fan was drinking tea.
The scent of the tea and its hot air wafted into the air.
Ye Fan's face turned cold when she heard Ye Xi-Lan's words.
He sneered and replied with a teacup in hand, "Bring him a chair? Is he fit?"
His sinister words swept through the air like a gust of cold wind.
Then Ye Fan finished the tea in his cup.
In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.
Ye Tian and the others clearly didn't expect Ye Fan to retort so rudely.
Ye Xi-Lan's face turned dark as fury exploded in her heart.
"Ye Fan, you poorly brought up fellow!
What did you just say?"
