The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

“Mum, what is going on?”

Yang Kexin pulled her mother to the tea room and her face was flushed with jealousy while her hands clutched the corners of her clothes.

Ye Helian was equally confused. She didn’t know when her nephew had a girlfriend and didn’t hear news of him holding a wedding ceremony but all of a sudden he had a wife? Furthermore, she heard earlier that this wife of his was a divorcee.

Why was this turn of events so ridiculous?

“Kexin…” Ye Helian patted her daughter’s shoulders. “Don’t worry, I’ll get to the bottom of this matter. I’m pretty sure that this woman is Ye Hao’s girlfriend, she can’t possibly be his wife. Furthermore, your aunt and uncle would never approve of him marrying a divorcee.”

Ye Helian was absolutely sure that her elder brother Ye Zhiyuan had not approved of this so-called marriage.

Mother and daughter whispered together, completely unaware that another woman was listening in to their conversation at the entrance.

This woman was called Ye Shiyu and she was the only daughter of Ye Zhiyuan, the apple of his eye, as well as the woman that every man in Ye City wanted to marry.

There was a soft smile on Ye Shiyu’s face and she was dressed casually which made her look youthful and beautiful.

“Aunty…” She walked over, drew close to Ye Helian and whispered something in her ear.

Ye Helian was stunned and her eyes widened.

“Do you mean…” She looked at her niece in disbelief and a smug smile spread across her face.

He Xiyan rested or about 40 minutes and drank a cup of green tea that a maid from Pear Garden served her with, then asked for the direction of the restroom.

Ye Hao had accompanied her earlier but had been called away.

She walked toward the direction of the restroom according to the maid’s directions and met a few people from the Ye family along the way. She smiled at them but they all turned away from her coldly.

It was as though they didn’t want to look at her at all.

She immediately got the hint and stopped trying to befriend those people. She walked ahead and entered the restroom, then exited the restroom.

She regretted her decision to come here. She had already experienced these cold and disdainful stares from the Mo family – they had treated her in the exact same disdainful manner when she first met them, neither were they willing to even speak to her. The situation was even worse with the Ye family since there were so many of them but everyone was giving her the cold shoulder.

She looked downward and only wanted to return to the resting area and lie down on the sofa. She would leave after lunch since there was somewhere that she belonged.

“He Xiyan, wait a minute!” A shrill womanly voice rang out. It was clear that this woman did not mean well.

He Xiyan turned around and looked at the woman who approached her. She recognized this lady as Ye Hao’s half-sister named Ye Shiyu. They had met once in the hospital.

“Shiyu, is something the matter?” He Xiyan frowned slightly as she looked at Ye Shiyu in confusion.

The corners of Ye Shiyu’s mouth twitched contemptuously.

She walked over, pulled down the zipper of her coat and suddenly stretched out her hand.

“Smack!” There was a loud sound as her palm landed on He Xiyan’s face.

“You shameless woman!” She shouted at He Xiyan.

He Xiyan hastily retreated. She hadn’t expected Ye Shiyu to slap her and thus did not manage to dodge in time. Her cheek burned painfully.

She touched her cheek and looked at Ye Shiyu. This was someone who she had barely exchanged words with.

She did not understand when she had offended her.
