Chapter 35 (2/2)

As expected, the Ye family’s faces stiffened when they heard Mu Hui’s question.

“Uh, Old Master, we originally prepared a gift today… But…”

“But…”

The two of them could not speak for a while.

“Aiya, it’s all mother’s fault.”

Ye Zhi came up and spoke coquettishly.

“Grandpa Fu, we originally bought you a very beautiful amethyst cup, but when we were about to leave, mother accidentally broke the cup. As we were pressed for time, we didn’t have time to prepare other gifts. I’m sorry, Grandpa Fu…”

“Ah Hui, my mother didn’t do it on purpose. She’s also very sad. Don’t bring up her sad matters anymore. Are you trying to make her sad? Even though you always talk like this, I still hope that you can let my mother go. It’s better to be magnanimous and happy.”

After saying that, Ye Zhi asked Old Master Fu again, “Grandpa Fu, do you think I’m right?”

Old Master Fu glared at Mu Hui.

“Did you hear that? This is what a real daughter of a family should be like. You’d better learn from her. Don’t be so stingy.”

“Grandpa, don’t you believe in the person I chose?”

Fu Siye was frowning at that moment. He reached up and wrapped his arm around Mu Hui’s waist. His strong and protective attitude was very obvious.

Mu Hui did not avoid him. She held Fu Siye’s hand using both hands. The two of them intertwined their fingers and looked at each other.

Old Master Fu noticed how strong she was. It was as if she was showing off that she could control Fu Siye. He was displeased once again.

The Ye family secretly looked at Old Master Fu’s expression. When they saw that there was an opportunity, they quickly walked up and smiled.

“Although it’s said that you can fall in love with anyone you choose, it’s different when it comes to getting married. It’s better to have daughters-in-law from a large aristocratic family who are ladylike so that they won’t be laughed at by others.”

“When Junqing was still alive, she once said that our Ye Zhi was steady, sensible, and the most cultured. She is the most suitable daughter-in-law for the Fu family.”

At the mention of Ye Junqing, Old Master Fu’s expression softened.

“Mmm, Junqing is right.”

Fu Siye suddenly said coldly, “That’s right. Then let Aunt Junqing marry Ye Zhi.”
