When these words were spoken, everyone inside and outside the room was stunned.
Ye Laosi stopped using the chopsticks that were just about to reach his mouth.
Miss Zhou, who was originally playing with Qingtian in the inner room, was so startled that she dropped the chopsticks in her hand.
She looked up at Mrs. Ye in panic, her eyes full of questions.
Looking at the expressions of the Ye family, Zhang Yingqi realized belatedly that he seemed to have said something wrong.
He stood up, anxiously trying to make amends.
But I don't know what to say to resolve this matter.
Seeing this, Boss Ye also stood up, patted Old Fourth Ye on the shoulder and said, "You will have to explain this matter to Miss Zhou sooner or later.
"Since we haven't officially announced the marriage yet, you might as well make it clear to them in advance.
"Whether it can be accomplished or not depends entirely on her opinion."
Inside the house, Sister Ye also said to Miss Zhou, "This is a long story, let the fourth brother tell you himself.
"Don't worry, I'll be waiting outside. Just call me if you need anything." After saying that, Brother Ye pulled Zhang Yingqi over.
Mrs. Ye took Mrs. Jiang and the two children out of the private room.
Only Ye Laosi and Zhou Xiaoniang were left inside to talk.
Outside the door, Zhang Yingqi couldn't help but ask about Ye Laosi and Guo.
Boss Ye briefly explained it to him, and Zhang Yingqi immediately sighed.
"The fourth brother is such a good young man, how could he meet such a wife.
"Fortunately, I am finally free now. I think this Miss Zhou is pretty good.
"If I could marry her home, I should be able to live a good life with the fourth child."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately remembered the trouble he had just caused. He scratched the back of his head and said, "What should I do? I just said the wrong thing. Will it affect the fourth brother's marriage?"
"You can't be blamed for this." Although Boss Ye felt somewhat helpless, he knew it wasn't Zhang Yingqi's fault. "This matter will be revealed sooner or later, and we can't hide it.
"Now that we've talked about it, it would be best if it works out. If Miss Zhou can't accept it, it would be better if the fourth brother gave up as soon as possible."
The people outside were talking in low voices, and the two people inside were also standing by the window talking.
Ye Laosi explained to Miss Zhou everything about why he got engaged to Guo, how they got married, what Guo did during the escape, and how she eloped with someone and lost her life.
In fact, judging from Ye Laosi's age, Miss Zhou had long guessed that he might have had some experience in the past.
I just didn't expect it to be so tortuous and bizarre.
When listening to the previous part, Miss Zhou would feel jealous from time to time.
But the more he listened, the only thing he felt was heartache for Ye Laosi.
Ye Laosi also finally talked about how Guo eventually committed suicide.
He looked at the sky outside the window and sighed deeply.
"That's what happened. I actually wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I thought I might be being too sentimental.
"If you have no feelings for me at all, I'd be making a fool of myself by saying all this to you.
"You are beautiful, have a good family background, and are a good cook.
"If you want to find a husband, all the matchmakers in the capital will come knocking on your door.
"So if you can't accept that I have this past, I totally understand.
"Even if we're not destined to be a family, you can always come to me if you need help.
“Oh, I don’t mean anything else. I’m Shu. Even if you and I are not destined to be together, you and my sister-in-law are still very compatible.
"From now on, I will treat you like a sister. If you need anything, just come to me."
Ye Laosi had never spoken so many words in one breath without stopping in his life.
But he himself didn't even notice that his voice had already begun to tremble, and his hands were tightly grasping the window frame.
Miss Zhou on the side opened her mouth several times to speak, but was blocked by Ye Laosi's incessant chatter.
She had no choice but to listen quietly to what Ye Laosi had to say.
But after hearing the end, Miss Zhou became angry.
"What do you mean? I haven't said anything yet, how come I'm your sister?
"I already have an older brother at home, I don't need you to be my older brother!"
Ye Laosi heard that there was something wrong with Miss Zhou's voice and quickly turned to look at her.
Only then did I realize that the girl's face was covered with tears.
She looked so beautiful even when she cried, but it made Ye Laosi's heart so upset and broken.
"You, don't cry!" Ye Laosi turned around on the spot, but he couldn't find any handkerchief around.
"You, I..." Ye Lao Si stammered, "If I say anything wrong, you can hit me or scold me, but don't cry!"
He clumsily rolled up his sleeves, pulled out the sleeves of his white inner garment, and leaned forward to help Miss Zhou wipe away her tears.
Miss Zhou felt embarrassed by his behavior, so she pushed him away and turned to walk out.
A few people outside chatted for a long time and waited for a long time, and the two children had fallen asleep in their mothers' arms.
The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
It’s out!
Boss Ye and Zhang Yingqi stood up straight.
Miss Zhou didn't expect that everyone was standing outside the door waiting.
I bumped into her, her face full of tears.
Seeing Miss Zhou crying like this, Mrs. Ye's heart skipped a beat.
She immediately took Qingtian, who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and put her into Boss Ye's arms, and grabbed Miss Zhou who turned around and wanted to leave.
"Don't worry, I'll take you to wash your face and clean up before going out.
"If you go out like this and get seen by others, who knows what nonsense they'll make up.
"Even if no one saw it, it would have scared your servants."
Mrs. Ye was extremely nervous when she said this, fearing that Miss Zhou would suddenly shake her off and leave without looking back.
If that happens, Ye Laosi will probably be out of luck.
Boss Ye pulled Ye Lao Si, who had chased after him, aside and prepared to interrogate him.
Mrs. Ye took the opportunity to hold Miss Zhou's hand and walked into the house while ordering the waiter, "Bring us a basin of hot water and two clean, soft towels."
The waiter immediately agreed and went down to prepare it, and brought it up soon.
Mrs. Ye wet the cloth, wrung it out until it was half dry, and began to wipe Miss Zhou's face.
"Old Four doesn't know how to talk, so if he says something unpleasant, don't take it to heart.
"You are too shy to talk about him.
"Just tell your sister-in-law everything, and she'll help you scold him later."
When he heard Mrs. Ye change her way of referring to herself to "sister-in-law," he knew that she had seen through his thoughts.
Miss Zhou blushed again and lowered her head in embarrassment.
Seeing Miss Zhou like this, Mrs. Ye finally felt relieved.
Now, it seems that this marriage is almost certain.
But Ye Lao Si outside the door was as devastated as if he had lost his parents, his face full of despair: "Brother, I'm done, it's impossible for us two."
