Sister-in-law Lin didn't dare to ask Ye Zhiwei directly, so she turned to Song Min and whispered, "Song Min, who is this?"

Ye Zhiwei took control of the conversation, raising her eyebrows and saying, "Why don't you just ask me? You can't tell? I'm my mother's daughter."

Ye Zhiwei usually calls Song Min "Auntie".

Even though Ye Zhiwei and Ye Yingying's relationship gradually improved, Ye Zhiwei's attitude towards Song Min remained lukewarm, and she didn't have much contact with Song Min, even though Song Min tried to talk to Ye Zhiwei several times.

This statement was practically an attempt to establish Song Min's authority.

Although Ye Qingcheng directly treated Song Min as Mrs. Ye and told the whole family that Song Min was the mistress of the house, Ye Qingcheng was busy with work and left early and returned late. His relationship with the servants, housekeeper, cooks and so on in the house was more of a superior-subordinate relationship.

Ye Zhiwei was truly pampered and loved by everyone in her family like a princess.

Ye Zhiwei's words were the real way to establish her authority and to tell the entire Ye family that she acknowledged Song Min's identity.

Song Min seemed completely unprepared for Ye Zhiwei to speak up for her. Lin Dasao's arrival had already brought back memories of Song Min's terrible past life, where she was bullied and powerless to fight back. She was timid by nature, and now that she was in the Ye family, although her life had changed a lot, her essential personality remained the same.

Song Min was still that timid woman, powerless and dependent on men to survive.

Her eyes were a little red.

Not only Song Min, but even Ye Yingying, whose relationship with Ye Zhiwei was gradually improving, did not expect that although she had entered the Ye family, she knew that her identity was vastly different from Ye Zhiwei's.

Sister-in-law Lin's face changed drastically.

She didn't dare to breathe loudly. She thought that young ladies from wealthy families would reject the presence of a stepmother, and that her presence might even please the young lady, who would deliberately embarrass Song Min. Little did she know that Ye Zhiwei would step in.

Sister-in-law Lin immediately tried to establish a connection, suppressing her fear of wealthy people, and cautiously smiled ingratiatingly, "Miss, I'm Song Min's neighbor. Song Min and I used to be very close. You're Song Min's daughter, right? Song Min married into the Ye family..."

"Wait a minute." Ye Zhiwei interrupted Sister-in-law Lin. "You, Song Min? Aren't you just one of Mom's neighbors? I've never heard Mom mention you. If you were close, Mom would at least mention you a few times. She's never said a word about you, and you might even have bullied Mom's neighbors. Now you're trying to curry favor?"

Sister-in-law Lin never expected Ye Zhiwei to be so direct, and her face flushed red. "No, no, Miss, please don't misunderstand. How could I bully Song Min? I—"

Ye Zhiwei frowned: "I won't pursue what you did to my mother in the past, but what brings you to our house?"

"I just... just need to borrow some money."

Ye Zhiwei glanced at Sister-in-law Lin and chuckled, "Borrow money? Isn't borrowing money something that happens between relatives? Come to our Ye family to borrow money, auntie, don't you have any other relatives or friends?"

Sister-in-law Lin blushed even more. Of course, she could hear the sarcasm in Ye Zhiwei's words, but she had already come all this way and didn't want to leave empty-handed. This was the first time she had ever met such a wealthy family.

The private courtyard, the mansion, the dedicated security personnel, the servants, and so on dazzled her and aroused her jealousy.

It's such a small matter for such a wealthy family to give her a little bit of money. Why can't they give her some money? Are rich people so stingy?
