Ye Qingqing scoffed and deliberately retorted, "Perhaps Zhu Zi doesn't even think much of your daughter, what are you worrying about!"

Back then, Zhu Zike didn't even give a second glance to a beauty like Ruan Yingzi. Wuchen was actually quite good-looking, otherwise he wouldn't have received so many love letters. Appearances can be very deceptive.

But she's nowhere near as good as Ruan Yingzi. Besides, this girl's personality is too carefree and ruthless. Most men definitely couldn't handle her. Otherwise, how come she had a whole basket of love letters in her first year of high school, but a whole line of brothers in her second and third years?

They got to know each other like brothers, and their hazy, ambiguous feelings developed into a revolutionary friendship. Forget about love letters.

Zhu Zi guessed that Zhu Zi looked down on this girl, and Ye Qingqing felt that her worries were completely unnecessary.

Ye Mingcheng felt uncomfortable hearing this, "Why does Zhu Zi look down on Wuchen? He's so old, while Wuchen is only nineteen and good-looking."

Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes. Just a moment ago she was worried that the man was taking advantage of her, but now she was complaining that he looked down on her daughter. She was contradicting herself.

"Don't you think about it? Zhu Zi doesn't even look down on someone like Ying Zi, so why would he look at Wu Chen?"

One sentence successfully shut Ye Mingcheng up. Ye Mingcheng also remembered the time when Ruan Yingzi pursued Zhu Zi. That girl was really beautiful, with a good family background and a good personality, but Zhu Zi just couldn't get a liking for her.

Ye Mingcheng was relieved and went home. With his son Wuchen's high standards, Zhu Zi would definitely look down on him.

With more than half of July gone, Ye Qingqing was enjoying a comfortable pregnancy at home. Wuchen still hadn't returned, and Ye Mingcheng stopped caring about her. School was starting in September, and that brat would have to come back eventually. He would deal with her then.

Zhou Yueyun brought her youngest son to visit. Ye Qingqing hadn't left the house for several days, and Lin Baiwei was away on a business trip. She felt lonely at home, so she came over for a visit.

"Where's Little Pig? You two aren't coming over to play either." Zhou Yueyun sat down familiarly.

Ye Qingqing leaned back lazily on the sofa, "Little Pig has taken on a master and gone on a journey. He won't be back until the New Year."

"What? Become an apprentice? Go to the Shaolin Temple?" Zhou Yueyun was startled. Her first thought was the Shaolin Temple. Otherwise, where else could she go to become an apprentice?

Ye Qingqing chuckled, "It's not martial arts, it's medicine. I've got a powerful master."

In terms of poison, she is far inferior to Zhu Zi.

"Qingqing, why don't you teach him yourself? Xiaozhu is only four years old. How can you let him go out to learn a trade without feeling guilty?" Zhou Yueyun clicked her tongue inwardly. She definitely couldn't bear to let Xiaohu go far away and couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Let the little pig learn from the master first, and I'll teach him later. I wasn't at ease at first, but the child seems happier than at home, so I'm relieved." Ye Qingqing sighed. Children always have to leave their parents when they grow up. It's better to get used to it now than to leave sooner or later.

"Your little pig is destined for great things."

Zhou Yueyun spoke with envy, but she was self-aware. First, she didn't have Ye Qingqing's family connections, and second, Xiaohu didn't have the ability to crawl under cars like Xiaozhu. He would only be bullied if he went outside, and she and Du Guoqiang wouldn't feel at ease either. It was better for them to stay at home peacefully. They didn't ask for him to be successful, but only for him to be healthy and live a peaceful life. That was their greatest hope for their child.

"Who knows if I'll amount to anything now? We'll have to wait and see." Ye Qingqing tilted her head and changed the subject. "Weren't you guys going back to your hometown? Why aren't you back yet?"
