Because Ye Zhiwei was kidnapped and her mood was not good afterward, Ye Qingcheng did not mention the engagement between Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian. Only a few people who had a good relationship with the Ye family knew about it.

The reason they've maintained a good relationship with the Ye family is because they don't like gossiping. They don't talk about what they know, and Duan Meiyuan has no chance to know these things. Yu Jingchen hasn't told her about the situation either. When Jiang Jianian caused trouble before, Duan Meiyuan just thought he wanted to show off in front of Ye Qingcheng. Duan Meiyuan naturally didn't think that Ye Zhiwei had any engagement. Even if she had a boyfriend, it was just a way to pass the time at such a young age, and they would break up sooner or later.

Moreover, Ye Zhiwei had clearly been entangled with her youngest son before.

When she returned home and inquired about her two sons, her husband, Yu Guochang, vaguely sensed that Duan Meiyuan had probably heard those rumors again and was going to do something.

Yu Guochang frowned and said, "Now that Jing Chen has finally gotten back on track, he's been very busy lately. Don't bother him with the things you've heard outside."

“Who wants to bother Jingchen? I know the Qin family incident hurt him. I’ll help him find a suitable girl after a while. I’m worried about Shishu lately.” Duan Meiyuan glanced at Yu Guochang and said with dissatisfaction, “You don’t care about anything. When the family had trouble, you couldn’t help at all. I swallowed my pride and inquired everywhere for the sake of the two children, worrying about their marriages and so on. And you, you can’t help with work, and you don’t even care about the children’s marriage.”

Seeing his wife's unreasonable attitude, Yu Guochang knew that if he continued arguing, he would be in trouble himself, so he simply kept quiet.

Yu Guochang remained silent, and Duan Meiyuan couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Not saying anything again? You, Yu Guochang, think you're so high and mighty, that you don't care about anything. You're some kind of immortal, Yu the Great. I'm the one who takes care of all these mundane things at home. I've put in so much effort for the two children, and you, Yu the Great, are still spreading rumors! When things happened at home, did you help at all? All those friends of yours are hiding behind closed doors. Now that we've gotten up, they're coming back to us. Are you planning to drink and have fun with them again?"

“It’s not as serious as you say. They can’t just allocate funds whenever they want. A few of my friends took out their own personal money before—” Yu Guochang couldn’t help but retort.

"That little bit of money? Is that even enough?" Duan Meiyuan became increasingly dissatisfied, coldly eyeing her husband. "We can never count on you when something goes wrong. If it weren't for our son, the Yu family would have disappeared long ago!"

Yu Guochang, seeing Duan Meiyuan's aggressive attitude, waved his hand and said, "I'm too lazy to talk to you!"

"I can't be bothered to talk to you." Duan Meiyuan straightened her clothes and scoffed lightly. "I'm too lazy to talk to you either."

However, she is quick-witted. Her relationship with the Ye family wasn't good before, and she had a fight with Ye Zhiwei before Ye Zhiwei's accident. Now she has other ideas. If she backs down first, and Ye Zhiwei really becomes involved with her youngest son, she might not be able to control her daughter-in-law.

Duan Meiyuan nudged Yu Guochang and continued, "I have something else to say to you."

"What does Grandma want to say again? I'm about to go to sleep." Yu Guochang had a headache.

Duan Meiyuan frowned. "What do you mean 'sleep'? This concerns our son's important matters. I'm asking you, do you still have any contact with Ye Qingcheng of the Ye family?"

Yu Guochang said helplessly, "We had such a bad falling out with the Ye family before, I felt so guilty that I didn't dare to speak to Old Ye. What connection do you think we could possibly have?"

"You're so naive! Just say it's a misunderstanding, and take some of the tea and good wine you've been hiding to visit Ye Qingcheng."

"What do you want to do?" Yu Guochang became wary.

Duan Meiyuan said calmly, "Go and find out about Ye Zhiwei's situation. Although I'm not very satisfied with Ye Zhiwei, something has happened to our family. We were wrong before. If she really likes Shi Shu, I won't stop her anymore. She has a bad temper. If she really comes into our family, I'll have to teach her a lesson."

"Who told you that Zhiwei likes our Shishu?" Yu Guochang looked at his wife in shock. "It's our Shishu who likes Ye Zhiwei!"
