Chapter 461 Ye Ying 4 ” (2/2)
First giving the uninvited guest at the door a disgruntled glance, then back at his own mother, he nods heavily: “I understand Mother, I will remember this for sure next time. I don’t want some bad people to get inside our home to harm you.”
Though the childish remark sounded so innocent to the ears, but for Ye Ying who stood at the doorway, it was like a giant slap across the face. For a second there she could barely keep up the façade of smiling.
“Lady, we meet again. Is this your son? He looks so cute.”
Humph, so what if he’s cute, nothing more than a little runt who doesn’t know his manners!
In any case, there’s no way Ye Ying would say what’s truly in her heart, not while in front of the competition anyways. Still smiling like she’s without harm, the girl walks into the room without an invitation.
“Today, I have something to discuss with you.”
Sipping the tea in her hand, Bai Yan casually asks without bothering to give the person a look: “I heard you are Bai Zhanpeng’s daughter.”
Startled at first over the question, Ye Ying quickly composes herself after realizing the information must’ve come from her follower Ye Zhung.
Bai Zhanpeng obviously didn’t want to take her as a goddaughter, but in times like this, there’s no way she could diminish her own prestige and allow the foe to step above herself.
Therefore, she only needed a moment to muse over the options at her disposal before nodding in confirmation: “My godfather is actually my distant-uncle. Due to how doting he is of me, it’s decided that I would become his goddaughter right after the alchemy convention. Regarding this piece of news, not many should know about it yet.”
“I see.”
Bai Zhanpeng is the distant-uncle of Ye Ying? In other words, the grandmother of this girl is the sister of the late wife of the current old lord.
“You said you came to me with something to discuss. What is it?”
Bai Yan’s not a nosy person, but she was quite interested in why someone like Ye Ying would want to meet herself.
“The man I saw at the restaurant the other day, is he your husband?” Furrowing her brow, the girl asks.
