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, “No need. I drove here.”
“Let’s go,” he said to the girl with his head lowered.
Qiao Nian picked up her bag and said, “Then, Grandpa Ye, Aunt Ye, I’ll go back first.”
“Go ahead.” Ye Lan quickly waved her hand. “Go back and rest early.”
“Okay.”
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, “Dad, we should head back too.”
“There’s no hurry.” Now that Qiao Nian wasn’t around, the love and gentleness on Old Master Ye’s 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. “Weren’t you good at talking just now? Go on, speak.”
Ye Shan’s face turned pale as she stood up, uneasy. She lowered her head and did not dare to look into Old Master Ye’s eyes as she stammered, “Old Master, I-I don’t know either. She didn’t say anything…”
Old Master Ye’s expression darkened. He slapped the table, causing the teacup to bounce. “You don’t know? Are you deaf? Nian Nian said very clearly from the beginning that she knows someone from the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. You didn’t 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?”
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 Shan’s face was exposed in public, and it burned with pain. However, the Old Master Ye’s every word was reasonable. She could not find any reason to give herself a way out.
“I…”
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. “You can’t speak anymore?”
The veins on the back of Ye Shan’s hand bulged. She stood with her head lowered, looking like a stray dog.
“I-I was wrong.”
Old Master Ye took a deep breath. His short white hair was neatly trimmed, and his gaze was sharp. “I don’t care what you think, I can’t control your thoughts. But Ye Shan, don’t forget that you’re Nian Nian’s elder, after all. If you can’t show the bearing of an elder, you’re not worthy of being an elder!”
Ye Shan’s legs went weak. How could she not hear the warning in Old Master Ye’s words? She looked up in panic and immediately said, “Old Master, I’ll apologize to her later. I really didn’t expect her to know… President Simon. I was indeed in the wrong.”
Ye Lan interrupted her calmly. “There’s no need to apologize.”
Ye Shan’s pale face revealed anger and embarrassment. “Miss, what do you mean? I’ll apologize sincerely.”
“Qiao Nian doesn’t like to be disturbed, and she doesn’t lack an apology from you.” Ye Lan did not have Old Master Ye’s domineering attitude or Ye Wangchuan’s calmness.
She had always been the gentlest person in the Ye family.
