Chapter 1104: 1090 Reality World [55] Protective (New Year Event)

Lady Chen glanced at the servants around her.

Su Lan waved her hand to dismiss them.

When they were alone, Lady Chen spoke apologetically, "Mrs. Ye, before Mrs. Su wanted to matchmake our Xumin with Shaohua, and I also liked Shaohua. But... as you know, our Xumin has a favorite little star at the company. Shaohua has a difficult temper, and she would definitely make a fuss if she knew about this. However, Tongtong is understanding and reasonable; if it were her instead, she surely wouldn’t react that way. This matter, I suppose, is just our Xumin’s lack of fortune."

Lady Chen verbally expressed her regret.

Not a word was said demeaning Ye Shaohua.

Yet the implication of her words was clear to both of them, and Lady Chen even extended an olive branch to Ye Tong.

She was dissatisfied with Ye Shaohua but quite pleased with Ye Tong.

The Chen Family, now wary of offending the increasingly influential Ye Family, yet fearing the Ye Family would think the Chen Family was disparaging Ye Shaohua, had Lady Chen come personally.

"I know, Lady Chen. You needn’t worry either. I’m all too aware of what my second daughter is like," Su Lan wasn’t bothered by Lady Chen’s disdain. After feeling aggrieved earlier, she couldn’t help but voice her woes upon seeing Lady Chen, "Even without your saying so, I wouldn’t let her be a scourge to your Chen Family."

Lady Chen had expected Su Lan to be somewhat upset.

She had even prepared a jade bracelet as a gift for Su Lan.

Listening to Su Lan’s words, laced with resentment, she finally understood Ye Shaohua’s position in the Ye Family.

It appeared that Shaohua was even less favored in the Ye Family than she had thought, and both she and Mr. Chen had felt somewhat pity for Shaohua’s status.

But hearing Su Lan’s words, Lady Chen’s trace of pity vanished completely.

If Su Lan could overtly show her disdain for Ye Shaohua in front of an outsider, then Ye Li and Ye Feng, the two in control of the Ye Family, likely had no affection for Shaohua either.

Such a Ye Shaohua being married into the Chen Family, wouldn’t she just be for show?

"It’s good that you understand, Madam," Lady Chen said to a despondent Su Lan in a low voice, "Our Xumin might not compare to Ye Li, but he’s still a fine young man, having spent a year abroad for his studies. His grandfather is also the president of the Calligraphy Association. To bring home someone who is illiterate, even if I agreed, his grandfather would have his say. Shaohua, as you know, well..."

Su Lan didn’t even want Ye Shaohua mentioned now.

The more she heard Lady Chen’s words, the darker her expression grew, and she was somewhat angry, though not at Lady Chen but at Ye Shaohua.

After Lady Chen left, the Butler invited Su Lan to the study.

The old master of the Ye Family had been in the study for quite some time.

He had thought long and hard about what Shaohua had said, the more he thought, the more bitter he felt. After Lady Chen’s visit, he had instructed the Butler to listen to the conversation between the two women. After hearing it, he had the Butler summon Su Lan.

"You don’t need to interfere with Shaohua’s marriage affairs. She’s still young; there’s no need to rush," the old master looked at Su Lan for a while before speaking directly, "And that Chen Xumin, he’s not a good match either."

Su Lan had already planned not to concern herself with Ye Shaohua.

Now hearing the old master’s words, she couldn’t help but say, "What’s wrong with Chen Xumin? Isn’t Chen Xumin also a fine young man? Better that, she’s acting all high and mighty. It would be her good fortune if the Chen Family looked favorably upon her!"

"A fine young man? Lady Chen’s gaze just now suggested that you give Tongtong to Chen Xumin, but you didn’t respond," the old master angrily put down his tea cup, "Su Lan, you’ve become sillier over the years. Leave now."

Could Ye Shaohua compare to Tongtong?!

Su Lan nearly shouted out loud.

But seeing the old master’s grim face, she dared not speak and simply left the room, closing the door behind her.

Ye Tong appeared from around the corner, "Mom, are you okay? What did Grandpa say?"

"He always protects Ye Shaohua. He immediately canceled the banquet when she said she wouldn’t attend, and now he’s protecting her again, not even letting her go to university," Su Lan said impatiently, "He doesn’t want me handling her affairs, does he think I want to be embarrassed everywhere?"

Su Lan had wanted to quickly marry off Ye Shaohua and stop her from staying in the Ye Family, hurrying to find suitors for her.

She hadn’t expected things to turn out this way.

"After all, my sister is a public figure, and the banquets were too publicly detrimental to her," Ye Tong said, her eyes flashing, "But... maybe Grandpa already has someone in mind?"

"Who could he possibly have in mind?" Su Lan scoffed. "Am I not aware of your grandpa’s connections? Let him drag this out; we’ll see if he can find her a royal relative in the end."

Ye Tong patted Su Lan’s back, trying to calm her anger.

But Su Lan looked grim, seemingly lost in thought.

**

Charmes.

After returning to Charmes, Butler Mu saw Mu Liu.

"They really said that at the Ye Family?" Butler Mu was already furious today, and upon hearing Mu Liu’s words, even he couldn’t hold back, "And they’re arranging a match for Miss Ye?"

Mu Liu nodded.

"But you clearly are..." Mu Liu quickly interjected. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}
