CHAPTER 524: CHAPTER 315: MEETING BETWEEN THE PROSPECTIVE MOTHER-IN-LAW AND DAUGHTER-IN-LAW (PART 2)

"Sigh... I want to stop her," the old lady tried to intervene, but the old master quickly cut her off: "Let her be. You can stop a person, but not their heart. Ye’er is a perceptive child; rest assured."

The Second Aunt hurriedly said, "Mom, if we stop her, we would indirectly offend this little ancestor. This little ancestor is the only Little Princess of the Qiao Family. If Old Master Qiao takes offense... it’s better for us to do less than to overdo."

"Hmph!" The old master looked displeasedly at his second son. Second Uncle Ye, with a darkened face, admonished, "Do you think our dad is like you, with such a superficial view? Dad means that it’s better for adults not to meddle in children’s matters. Who’s thinking about offending or not?"

"I am also thinking for the sake of the Ye Family, am I not?" the Second Aunt muttered under her breath, then quickly put on a smiling face and explained, "Dad, don’t be angry, of course, I like Ye’er and am on her side."

Old Master Ye gave her a faint glance and shifted the topic to Seventh Uncle’s family...

...

Grandpa talked too much and got tired, asking to rest for a bit. Ye Xuan then coaxed him by feeding him melon seeds, while Luo Ye dozed off lying down.

Half asleep, she heard a gentle female voice, "Xiao Xuan, you’re back and didn’t even greet your mother. You are paying less and less attention to me."

Ye Xuan spoke in a low voice, "Ye’er just had her stitches removed, and she’s still weak." He then hurriedly explained, "It was quite sudden, and I didn’t have time to notify you."

"Brother Xuan, hello," Qiao Xiaowan curiously peeked over the lounge chair.

Luo Ye, warmed by the sun and feeling limp and listless, gently tugged at Ye Xuan and whispered, "Help me up."

"Awake?" Ye Xuan supported her back and helped her sit up. Immediately, Luo Ye stood up and hurriedly said, "Auntie, I’m sorry, I fell asleep just now."

"Ye’er, hello," Su Sha said while sizing up Luo Ye, the smile in her eyes fading.

This girl looked exactly like her mother; how uncomfortable would she feel if she had to face her every day?

Moreover, if they became in-laws, her husband would inevitably have to meet that woman. Thinking this, her face began to change unpredictably.

Luo Ye was also observing Su Sha, and to be fair, Su Sha was very beautiful—around 170 cm tall with fair skin, deep-set eyes, and especially captivating deep purple irises.

Her lips were a bit thin but very rosy. The only downside was her large bone structure; although she wasn’t fat, she looked somewhat sturdy, lacking some of the femininity, unlike her mother Wen Xin, who was naturally petite, where even gaining weight would not show.

Of course, excluding one reason: one’s own mother always looks beautiful, cough... but it is true that a large bone structure can dilute femininity.

As the prospective mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were sizing each other up, Qiao Xiaowan was also observing Luo Ye. Luo Ye’s cheeks were a deep pink from just waking up, looking so moist and translucent that it made people want to bite. No matter how proud Qiao Xiaowan was, she had to admit that Luo Ye was not at all inferior to her in terms of looks, and when it came to figure... she really couldn’t compare to her.

Ye Xuan felt his mother’s aura was off and said indifferently, "Let’s all sit down." He then pulled Luo Ye to a seat and adjusted her to a comfortable position.

Luo Ye felt a bit awkward; her prospective mother-in-law was still standing there like a painted face while she wanted to stand up but was held down by the man next to her, yet not standing seemed improper.

"Hello, Luo Ye, I’m Qiao Xiaowan. I grew up with Brother Xuan," Qiao Xiaowan approached Luo Ye to greet her.

Luo Ye finally noticed the other person and smiled with a nod, "Hello."

The other girl was clearly of mixed heritage, with overly fair skin, light brown hair, a high nose bridge, deep-set eyes, and clear azure eyes. Her features were quite distinct, although her frame was average and she was only about 162 cm tall, giving her a somewhat petite and sweet appearance.

Looking at the prospective mother-in-law’s expression and combining it with this young woman’s tone of voice, the intention of the prospective mother-in-law bringing her over became somewhat clearer. Luo Ye, who was thinking of standing up at first, relaxed into the lounge chair comfortably and fell silent.

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth with a hint of a smile, the little girl was displeased!

"Mom, if you have nothing to say, then go back to the main hall. Aunt Qi’s family has finally come together; go be with them," Ye Xuan didn’t want to admonish his mother in front of others and gave the order to leave.

"Alright, I’ll talk to you later, Ye’er," Su Sha left as if escaping. She really hadn’t figured out how to face Luo Ye.

"Aunt Shasha left. I’ll sit with you guys to chat." Qiao Xiaowan brought a stool over to sit down: "Luo Ye, do you want to know about Brother Xuan’s childhood?"

"Not really," Luo Ye shook her head.

"Why not?" Qiao Xiaowan kept smiling, "He was so fun when he was young, exceptionally beautiful. My mother even thought of dressing him as a girl, but he knew better even at that young age, and adamantly refused to let my mother do it. Oh right, I have seen him bare-bottomed."

Ye Xuan glanced at her indifferently: "You can leave now."

"Brother Xuan, don’t be so petty. Was it just revealing a childhood embarrassment?" Qiao Xiaowan pouted, "After all, we grew up together. How can you treat a childhood friend like this?"

"Go! Go!" the old grandpa chanted, swiftly sitting up and wielding his walking stick to strike Qiao Xiaowan, "Bullying my granddaughter-in-law, I’ll beat you to death! To death!"

"Great Grandpa..." Qiao Xiaowan’s eyes filled with tears, "Why do you treat me like this?"

"Go! Go! Don’t bully my granddaughter-in-law! Don’t!" The old grandpa swung his walking stick even faster, trying to get up. Ye Xuan hurried to assist him and glared at Qiao Xiaowan, "Well, aren’t you leaving!"
