Bai Mo glanced at hihed He the spoke with a voice that only both of thee”
“They…” Tan Polang eyed the fa Yin The gentleness and beauty that used to be on her face was replaced with a cold glare, and she was staring straight at Tan Polang He shivered involuntarily, and inched closer to Bai Mo, “What are they doing here?”
Bai Mo was already very annoyed In a hot summer day, a person’s mood could easily be ruined by the hot weather When somebody’s mood was ruined, the person would have a bad temper A frown appeared on Bai Mo’s face when he noticed that Tan Polang had moved closer to him, “Do you think that it’s the winter, you lil’ brat? Why are you sitting so close to rimaced at Bai Mo, “Bro, it’s not like I want to,” he could still feel Dong Yin’s icy and cold glare stabbing into his back, “But… But…” Tan Polang stared at Baithat he could understand his difficulties
Bai Mo saw Tan Polang’s expression, and finally noticed Dong Yin’s terrifying glare as he followed the boy’s sight His frown deepened He turned around and continued staring at the television, “Miss high and hty really thinks that she’s a Princess eh? What’s with that look? Did e her fa on?” Tan Polang’s was very curious
Bai Mo did not knohere to start He sighed after a long silence, “I’ll tell you later I’m sure you’ll be able to tell soon anyways”
Despite their reluctance to have anything to do with Dong Yin’s faree that they could not just leave the room just like that Besides, they were ale unless their request were fulfilled It was just like that night all over again Ye Ci had rejected their request so ain They were still trying their best to persuade Ye Ci to help Ye Ci was impressed by the family’s perseverance
Of course, Ye Ci would definitely look up to them even more if they did not use it on her
Ye Ci believed that she was not shah, or rather, she was not the most shameless person around That hy she could not possibly hide in her room forever Even if she wanted to do so, Zuo Xiaolan would never allow such an action
As she was laying on her bed, flipping through the pages of aat her doorway, “Say, how long do you plan to stay here, dear?”
“Until they leave” Ye Ci cast a glance at her a, “Aren’t you serving so in my room?”
“Well, I can’t hide away in the kitchen forever now, can I?” Zuo Xiaolan sighed, “I’ve already served the soup, but you’re still not back yet, so I went to have a look”
“Why? They’re here for you and dad It has nothing to do with me” Ye Ci turned her back towards her reen bean soup that I’ve woke up early to prepare! They’ve defiled it…”
“What do youthat as an excuse You’re the one they’re truly looking for Your father and I are just Life Players who have just entered the gaht not even know that we have started playing the ga for norance then I hate it when people beat around the bush! Can’t you just say what you actually want to say?” Ye Ci snorted coldly
“It’s not like we don’t know them We’ve known theet things over with” noticing that Ye Ci refused to budge, Zuo Xiaolan sat down beside her daughter and patted her on the back
“Moa down, and turned around to face Zuo Xiaolan
“Looking for a scapegoat of course” Zuo Xiaolan save Ye Ci her answer, as if it was so that was natural
Ye Ci was baffled She knew that her mother would not walk into her room because she orried about her As expected, Zuo Xiaolan was just looking for a sacrificial victim
“Do you think I’ll be able to send them off so easily?” Ye Ci raised her eyebrows, “We live here! What if they refuse to leave? We can’t juston your now” Zuo Xiaolan knew that Ye Ci spoke the truth The proble After a ht, Zuo Xiaolan decided to test out the waters, “Little Ci, why don’t you just help them out? Even if we don’t like them, we don’t have to keep up this battle of attrition Besides, the investood plan We shouldn’t say no to ree with you, mom We really shouldn’t say no to ood investht about us when they found ventures that could earn theood investment, I will never, ever help them out” Ye Ci shook her head
“Why is that?” Zuo Xiaolan was curious She had no knowledge about her daughter’s feud with Dong Yin, as well as her dispute with Thousand Sunsets She wanted to knohy her daughter was acting so cruel towards Dong Yin’s fa Yin’s parents were absolute scu to help them out due to their many years of friendship
“Mom, not all favors can be done”
“Little Ci, since we’re talking about helping the in return If you keep asking for pay a favor, you’ll not be very happy” Zuo Xiaolan thought that Ye Ci refused to help because she was afraid that Dong Yin’s faranted
Ye Ci shook her head, “Mo someone just because you expect their reciprocation, is not helping at all You know that I am not someone to fuss over ht pause, “Youcertain favors even if you could gain so out of it”
“Deep trouble?” Zuo Xiaolan was alar confused by Ye Ci’s words, there was still a bad feeling in her heart, “Don’t talk nonsense! What do youinto deep trouble? Don’t scare me like that!”
Ye Ci sat up and faced herFate You’d of course think that it is just a game However, there are a as benefit is involved, things will get coa Yin’s parents You played the ga Yin and her faet what you’re trying to say! Are you tellingYin’s parents?” Zuo Xiaolan had always led a si confused, she knew that Ye Ci’s words ood
“Yes, you could say that” Ye Ciher head and stared at Zuo Xiaolan, “Mom, do you kno they cauess the drove here They’re the first a our four families to own a car If I’m not mistaken, it’s a very expensive car…” Zuo Xiaolan had the tendency to stray off topic, which was so that Ye Ci wanted to avoid
That hy she cut Zuo Xiaolan off, “They walked into our residential area They must’ve ca Yin’s mother was very pampered, there’s no way she would walk if an area is accessible by car”
“Do you knohat happened to their car?”
“H-hoould I know?”
“If I’ with most of their family’s asset” Ye Ci lower her head She has contacted Green Hill’s Moon to learn about the conditions of Dong Yin’s and Yi Cang’s family They suffered a heavy blohen Thousand Sunsets lost in his power struggle against Unbridled Willow Of course, Ye Ci would never mention the details of their downfall to her parents
“How did you know?”
“You see, their invest they invested in Steel-Blooded Battle Spear” Ye Ci stated out the truth
“Ahhh…”
“Why do you think they’re here?” Ye Ci narrowed her eyes, “You kno Dong Yin is We already had a fall out that night, but they still ca at stra They’re in a very desperate situation”
“So…” Zuo Xiaolan finally caught on to Ye CI’s , “We can’t help them at all?”
“I don’t mind if you want to help” Ye Ci sirl! Do you thinkto burn away our money like that” Zuo Xiaolan slapped Ye Ci on the back, and stood up, “I’ll go down and give your dad soree to their request You get down there as well okay?”
Despite her reluctance, Ye Ci lazily nodded
As Ye Ci was still laying on his bed, she heard heavy footsteps leading to her roo her bedroo at Ye Ci with her face flushed red, huffing and puffing loudly, as if she had just been humiliated
“Yinyin, Yinyin, don’t be like this, this is not our ho Yin’s mother was close behind, followed by Zuo Xiaolan
Zuo Xiaolan stood at the tip of her toes and craned her neck into Ye Ci’s rooetic room, “Little Ci…”
Ye Ci shook her head, an indication for Zuo Xiaolan to re Yin, who turned around and shouted at her s with her today! Can you just leaveYin’s hter’s sudden outburst
Ye Ci remained on her bed SheYin cal Yin’s anger was like a fist, while Ye Ci’s indifference was like a cotton blanket When the fist connected with the soft blanket, its force was dispersed Dong Yin stood glaring at Ye Ci at the doorway before sla reverberated around the roo as a result Fortunately, the old house held out Aside fro happened The house did not collapse
Dong Yin leaned on the door silently, with her glare still fixated on Ye Ci After casting a glance at Dong Yin, Ye Ci spoke up softly, “Say it, what do you want?”
Dong Yin bit her lips, but reaze Ye Ci sighed inwardly She hated such passive-aggressive behavior Why can’t Dong Yin be straightforward? Do you wantatYin expected others around the to do so would be a crime in their eyes
Of course, Ye Ci couldn’t care less about it She would not lose anything even if Dong Yin was glaring at her Since Dong Yin enjoyed looking at her so irl
With that thought inthe pages of herYin had never been treated so coldly in her life before Even Thousand Sunsets would take her feelings into consideration However, her sense of pride was nothing in the face of Ye Ci, as indifferent to such things, and would never compromise for her sake To be fair, Ye Ci treated everybody with the saht of Ye Ci’s personality to be quite unique But on this day, it see attention to what I say?” Dong Yin’s anger rose with every thought that flashed through her ainst the door in an attempt to convey her dissatisfaction to the other person in the room She was unable to provoke any action out of Ye Ci, as still absorbed in reading herbut to inflict pain to her own pal at the other side of the door
