Chapter 27
Sharp Tongue
Yang Ya began, “Ye Yao, your father called me today.”
Ye Yao rolled her eyes. She knew that Yang Ya wouldn’t come looking for her for no reason! She put down her coffee cup and said unhurriedly, “You’ve been divorced for so long and each have new families now. It’s wrong for my father to contact you. Ignore him if he should contact you again in the future. Otherwise, if Qin Jiao’s father finds out, it’ll be difficult for you to explain.”
Yang Ya paused. She knew that Ye Yao was changing the topic! She took a deep breath and guided the conversation back on track, saying bluntly, “Your father came looking for me because he wanted to contact you. He said that you wouldn’t pick up his calls, so he contacted me.”
“Then you’re in the wrong,” Ye Yao replied. “Many times when I was younger, I asked your help in the matters between my father and I. You were never there and would not answer my calls. Why would you interfere in the matters between my father and I, now that I’ve grown up? You’re someone else’s wife now. Don’t interfere in our Ye family’s matters, lest you get into trouble. Don’t you agree?”
Yang Ya was rendered speechless by Ye Yao’s words. She had not seen the girl for so long, and did not expect that the once obedient Ye Yao had actually become a sharp-tongued and thorny person.
Ye Yao looked at the woman and reminded her considerately, “I think you should stay out of the Ye family’s matters, for the sake of your current family. You have never cared about the Ye family or me in the past. Don’t suddenly take on the responsibilities of a mother now.”
Ye Yao no longer had any feelings for Ye Tianhao and Yang Ya. It wasn’t her, but her parents that were heartless! Her good behaviour over the years was worthless in their eyes, and it would only encourage them to further mistreat her. She did not spend a long time overseas, but in that short fortnight she was there, it almost killed her! She had never experienced such a dark moment or encountered such inhumane things. All of this was thanks to Ye Tianhao. If she could still happily call Ye Tianhao her father and forget all the pain, she would not have been able to return from overseas alive. She was able to come back only because she was indignant! There was still anger in her!
At this moment, Ye Yao suddenly looked behind Yang Ya and waved with a smile. “Here!”
Yang Ya turned around in confusion. Then, she saw Gao Qiao walking in and sitting on the seat beside Ye Yao.
Gao Qiao greeted Yang Ya, “Madam Yang, long time no see.”
Yang Ya looked at Ye Yao and Gao Qiao, who were seated opposite her. She felt a little uncomfortable, especially at the way Gao Qiao was looking at her…
Ye Yao introduced him to Yang Ya with a smile. “This is Gao Qiao, my friend. Mom, you should know him, right?”
“Mom?” Gao Qiao said with a faint smile, “Madam Yang, you told me that Ye Yao was a distant relative of yours, but you didn’t tell me that she’s your daughter.”
Ye Yao pretended to be shocked as well. “Mom, did you really tell him that? Am I your distant relative?”
Without waiting for Yang Ya to speak, Gao Qiao nodded. “That’s right. Madam Yang didn’t just say that. She also told me that you have a boyfriend. She said that the other party is ignorant, incompetent, and lacks ambition. He thinks that you have a good background and wishes to gain social standing through you. Hence, he hopes that by pleasing you, you’d pull him out of his rut.”
Ye Yao gave a thumbs up and said, “Mom, you’re really amazing! You’d do and say anything for Qin Jiao’s sake!”
Gao Qiao looked at Yang Ya. “Madam Yang, you said that Ye Yao was deceived by a scumbag and asked me to save her. But I only found out yesterday that Ye Yao’s boyfriend is Huo Buyu. Is Huo Buyu an ignorant and incompetent man in your eyes?”
Yang Ya was rendered speechless by Ye Yao and Gao Qiao’s words. She had never thought that she would be questioned by two children like this. How was she going to explain? She could only sit there awkwardly and say to Ye Yao, “Ye Yao, it’s all Mom’s fault. Mom was forced to do this…”
Ye Yao shrugged. “It’s okay, I don’t care.” Hence, after she received Yang Ya’s call, she asked Gao Qiao to come over. It was her intention to embarrass Yang Ya! If she didn’t show Yang Ya what she was capable of, Yang Ya would continue to think that she was as easy to manipulate as before!
Gao Qiao was very cooperative as well. “Madam Yang has been married to Uncle Qin for many years, right? It seems that no one in the imperial capital knows that Madam Yang was married in the past and has a daughter.”
