Ye Yao shrugged at Yang Ya. âIâm sorry, Madam Yang Ya. My boyfriend doesnât want me to leave. What should I do?â
Yang Yaâs expression turned a little ugly. She looked at Ye Yao and warned her, âYe Yao, this is our private matter. Iâm sure youâd appreciate speaking with me alone, right?â Her threat was too obvious. If others heard it, they would think that there was something fishy between the two of them.
Yang Ya thought that Ye Yao hadnât dared to tell Huo Buyu about their relationship, so she was using it to threaten Huo Buyu. Ye Yao played along. A trace of panic flashed across her face, and she shook off Huo Buyuâs hand. âIâll leave with Madam Yang Ya for a while. Wait for me to come backâ Her tone was flustered, and her expression was obviously put on, to the extent that Huo Buyu made a mental note to possibly enroll her in an acting class because she was so bad at it!
However, with Ye Yao like this, Yang Ya probably wouldnât be able to bully her, so Huo Buyu let go of Ye Yaoâs hand.
Ye Yao left with Yang Ya. When Jiang Yun saw this, she seemed a little stunned. âHuo Buyu, does Miss Ye Yao know Madam Yang Ya? They seem to have a close relationship. In that case, what happened at Grandmother Gaoâs birthday banquet was a misunderstanding?â
Huo Buyu didnât respond. This was Ye Yaoâs private matter and it was not for him to speak about it.
Huo Buranâs expression darkened. The people in the circle had more or less heard about what happened at Grandmother Gaoâs birthday banquet, but it was just a few words along the line that Yang Ya had lost a very expensive necklace and it appeared that it was stolen by a young lady. Eventually, Yang Ya framed that young lady for stealing her necklace. Because the Gao family had kept peace, coupled with the Qin familyâs status in the capital and the fact that Ye Yao was relatively unknown, news about this matter didnât spread as much. However, if the news that Ye Yao was Huo Buyuâs girlfriend were to be exposed, the impact of this matter would be huge.
In the end, this matter did not have much of an impact. Everyone felt that with Yang Yaâs status, she would not make things difficult for an unknown young lady. It was probably a misunderstanding. This matter did not affect the Qin family much.
However, what Huo Buran didnât expect was that the two people who were rumored to have been framed seemed to have a very close relationship. Moreover, Huo Buran had also witnessed Ye Yaoâs put-on enthusiasm just then. Ye Yaoâs personality was very different from what she had imagined. She was very curious about whether Huo Buyu could control such a lively personality. Apart from that, there was also underlying meaning in Jiang Yunâs remark.
When Jiang Yun saw that Huo Buyu and Huo Buran didnât react to her words, she realized that she was getting ahead of herself. The people from the Huo family werenât gossipy people. Moreover, with Huo Buyuâs personality, he wouldnât like his girlfriend to become someone elseâs topic of conversation. Jiang Yun was also anxious, given that it was only then did she realize that she had said the wrong thing. She only hoped that Huo Buyu and Huo Buran wouldnât probe further. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Now, Ye Yao was taken to the side by Yang Ya. The woman started, âYe Yao, whatâs wrong with you? Youâre now grown up and disobedient. Your father is in such a difficult situation now. Why arenât you helping him? If he hadnât called me, I wouldnât have known that youâve become so heartless.â
Ye Yao looked around and noted that they were alone. She smiled at Yang Ya. âYouâre so wrong to say that. Youâre already married to Qin Jiaoâs father. You ought to be devoted to him. Why are you concerned over your ex-husbandâs matters? If your current husband hears this, what will he think?â Yang Ya had been divorced from Ye Tianhao for six years. In these six years, she had never asked how Ye Yao was doing. Now, she was pleading with and reprimanding her because of her ex-husband? Was she in the right mind?
Yang Ya did not expect Ye Yao to say this and was instantly embarrassed. âIâm talking about you and your father. No matter what, Ye Tianhao is your father. You canât be so heartless to him.â
Ye Yao sneered. âYe Tianhao is my father, thatâs right. We can settle our own matters. Youâve already divorced Ye Tianhao. Ye Tianhao is just an outsider to you. Is it appropriate for you to care so much about an outsider?â
Yang Ya looked at Ye Yao with disbelief and disappointment on her face. âYe Yao, why would you say that? Iâm so disappointed. Thatâs your father. You actually address him by his name?â
Ye Yao was expressionless. Ye Tianhao was not worthy of being a father. Similarly, Yang Ya was not worthy of being her mother. Now, she only needed to ensure her own happiness.. Why should she care about those who did not care about her?
