The first move is victory!
The children were taken upstairs by the butler, while they sat on the sofa waiting for Ye Qianzhi to return.
Upon learning of Gu Xiuyu's identity, Shen Meixiu deliberately used the opportunity to humiliate Ye Ziyu.
“Ziyu, you wouldn’t know, but when Mr. Gu first arrived, I felt he was very familiar. I only realized he was the one you had a scandal with after you returned,” Shen Meixiu said in a coy manner.
Knowing Di Mingjue, her husband, was by her side, she deliberately brought up the scandal, attempting to provoke discord in their marital relationship?
Ye Ziyu glanced at Di Mingjue, whose expression was not pleasant, and retorted ungraciously, “I didn’t expect Auntie to care so much about me. However, your words make me unable to help but think in a negative direction.”
Shen Meixiu’s face turned pale. She was intimidated by Ye Ziyu’s stern and serious expression.
After a moment of silence, she chuckled twice and quickly explained, “Don’t misunderstand. I just remembered those fabricated news stories online. Outsiders may not know, but as family, how can we not know that you are already married with children? Moreover, Mr. Gu is young and accomplished, so he naturally wouldn’t like a woman who is already married.”
Her words seemed to praise Ye Ziyu, but they subtly belittled her. Others might not know how she and Di Mingjue met, but didn’t she know? After all, they only got married and had their wedding this year, yet the children were four or five years old.
Ye Ziyu glared at Shen Meixiu with annoyance and replied unceremoniously, “Since Auntie knows, please don’t frequently read those fabricated news stories. Over time, it will make one’s brain become dull.”
You little girl, you dare to scold her as stupid in front of outsiders?
Shen Meixiu was furious, but in front of Di Mingjue and Gu Xiuyu, she couldn't lash out. She had to maintain the appearance of a kind stepmother.
She chuckled twice and leaned towards Ye Ziyu, “Thank you for your concern, Ziyu. I rarely read those news stories, and it’s only because of you that I started to look into them.”
“Then I thank Auntie for her concern. But if you have anything you want to know, you can directly ask me. Reading too much of that speculative news will cause you to misunderstand me. After all, with our identities, it’s better to communicate openly and face-to-face.” This statement from Ye Ziyu completely struck a deep pain in Shen Meixiu’s heart. xxs one
She had become Ye Qianzhi’s wife by a stroke of luck. If it weren't for Old Mrs. Ye’s interference, how could she be stably occupying the position of Mrs. Ye now?
Shen Meixiu glared at Ye Ziyu fiercely behind her back, but on the surface, she could only respond with a smile and say “good.”
Ye Shaoting saw Shen Meixiu’s embarrassment and was displeased by Ye Ziyu’s words.
Her appearance made Ye Qianzhi, who already paid little attention to them, pay even less attention. Moreover, she brought his enemy to the Ye residence and constantly displayed their affection in front of them.
She was deliberately trying to insert herself into this situation, so don’t blame him.
Ye Shaoting looked at Gu Xiuyu and asked playfully, “Ziyu is so outstanding, hasn’t Mr. Gu been moved?”
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere became like an icy glacier in winter.
Ye Ziyu looked at Ye Shaoting, not understanding, but her gaze was deliberately ignored.
A fleeting dimness in his eyes, Di Mingjue observed Ye Shaoting suspiciously.
Gu Xiuyu also did not understand why he asked such a question, but for him, it was an opportunity to express his feelings. He lowered his head and gave a bitter smile, then easily raised his head to look at Ye Ziyu, “To say I’m not moved would be a lie. Ziyu is beautiful and capable. She is different from the rich ladies I’ve met; she has a unique quality that makes one want to explore further. It’s a pity, though, that she is already someone else’s wife.”
If only he had met her earlier, he would have found a way to snatch her from Di Mingjue.
Ye Ziyu awkwardly turned her gaze away.
“It seems I was right to marry her early,” Di Mingjue said, putting his arm around Ye Ziyu’s shoulder.
