2345 Old Master Ye Pays For It Later
Ye Wangchuan grabbed his car keys and walked to the girl. Holding her hand, he turned around and said, âNo need. I drove here.â
âLetâs go,â he said to the girl with his head lowered.
Qiao Nian picked up her bag and said, âThen, Grandpa Ye, Aunt Ye, Iâll go back first.â
âGo ahead.â Ye Lan quickly waved her hand. âGo back and rest early.â
âOkay.â
The man dragged her out of the private room just as Qiao Nian finished speaking.

At this moment, Ye Lan also stood up and said to Old Master Ye, âDad, we should head back too.â
âThereâs no hurry.â Now that Qiao Nian wasnât around, the love and gentleness on Old Master Yeâs face quickly disappeared. He leaned back on the chair and picked up his teacup. Blowing the foam, he lowered his head to take a small sip and then heavily placed the cup back on the table. Raising his head, his sharp eyes shot straight at Ye Shan, who had been silent from the moment Simon entered the private room. âWerenât you good at talking just now? Go on, speak.â
Ye Shanâs face turned pale as she stood up, uneasy. She lowered her head and did not dare to look into Old Master Yeâs eyes as she stammered, âOld Master, I-I donât know either. She didnât say anythingâ¦â
Old Master Yeâs expression darkened. He slapped the table, causing the teacup to bounce. âYou donât know? Are you deaf? Nian Nian said very clearly from the beginning that she knows someone from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. You didnât believe her and mocked her. No, it should be said that you have only made sarcastic remarks since Nian Nian got here⦠Do you recognize the person just now? Do you want me to help you recall?â
Other than Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan, only Ye Keji and President Simon of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance left.
The other family members, including Wang Fei, had yet to leave.
Old Master Ye questioned her in front of them.
Ye Shanâs face was exposed in public, and it burned with pain. However, the Old Master Yeâs every word was reasonable. She could not find any reason to give herself a way out.
âIâ¦â
Ye Shan was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to hide in.
She had indeed looked down on Qiao Nian back then. Who would have thought that she would know President Simon of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance?
Old Master Ye looked at her coldly. âYou canât speak anymore?â
The veins on the back of Ye Shanâs hand bulged. She stood with her head lowered, looking like a stray dog.
âI-I was wrong.â
Old Master Ye took a deep breath. His short white hair was neatly trimmed, and his gaze was sharp. âI donât care what you think, I canât control your thoughts. But Ye Shan, donât forget that youâre Nian Nianâs elder, after all. If you canât show the bearing of an elder, youâre not worthy of being an elder!â
Ye Shanâs legs went weak. How could she not hear the warning in Old Master Yeâs words? She looked up in panic and immediately said, âOld Master, Iâll apologize to her later. I really didnât expect her to know⦠President Simon. I was indeed in the wrong.â
Ye Lan interrupted her calmly. âThereâs no need to apologize.â
Ye Shanâs pale face revealed anger and embarrassment. âMiss, what do you mean? Iâll apologize sincerely.â
âQiao Nian doesnât like to be disturbed, and she doesnât lack an apology from you.â Ye Lan did not have Old Master Yeâs domineering attitude or Ye Wangchuanâs calmness.
She had always been the gentlest person in the Ye family.
