Chapter 463
Cui Li's serious attitude made Aunt Ye a little unhappy.
She said slightly angrily, "Are you dissatisfied with Wan Ming not having a job after just returning from the countryside?"
"Aunt, I've already said that I don't want to get married or have a relationship now. I'm not targeting your son. I would say the same thing even if other people came." Cui Li said.
"Okay." Aunt Ye said unhappily, paid the bill, took the buns and sweet water she ordered, and left.
Ye Wanming glanced at Cui Li, then followed his mother without knowing why.
"Mom, you're leaving now and not telling me about Cui Li?"
"You really like her?" Aunt Ye asked unhappily.
"What's the point of liking or not? Didn't you tell me that she even bought a house? She must have a lot of money. Besides, she's not like Zhong Lan. Her parents and siblings have never come to see her. It's likely that they haven't been in touch with each other anymore. You said that if I marry her, someone like her who has no family to rely on, I can get all the money she earns. I can even let her give me the job in the bun shop and she can stay at home to take care of the children." Ye Wanming said.
"I'm glad you don't really like her." Aunt Ye's tone softened a little.
"I'm stupid. I've never even had a boyfriend, so why would I like a divorced woman with two kids? If she hadn't bought a house and her bun shop was doing well, I wouldn't date her even if you forced me." Ye Wanming said.
"It's good that you know what's important," Aunt Ye said. "Cui Li doesn't even know her own worth. I've given her so much face, but she still says she doesn't want to get married or date. I don't believe there's no woman in this world who doesn't want to get married or date!"
"That's right! She's a divorced woman with two kids, and she dares to criticize me?!" Ye Wanming was annoyed when he thought about it.
He asked Aunt Ye: "Should I still date her?"
"Of course I should." Aunt Ye said without hesitation: "She's a woman, without a husband or a family, and she has so much money. If you marry her, all the money will be yours!"
Ye Wanming nodded in agreement. He added, "But I see she's quite resolute. You can't let me lose face by trying to please a woman like that."
"You don't need to lose face, you just need to..." Aunt Ye whispered a few words into Ye Wanming's ear.
After hearing this, Ye Wanming frowned in disapproval and said, "How is this any different from making me lose face?"
"You are stupid." Aunt Ye scolded him and whispered a few words in his ear.
Ye Wanming smiled and praised, "Mom, you still have a way."
Aunt Ye looked very proud.
She just didn't believe that even after she asked Ye Wanming to do that, Cui Li still wouldn't date Ye Wanming!
…
The next day, Ye Wanming went to the bun shop according to the instructions given to him by Aunt Ye.
"Cui Li!" Ye Wanming smiled at Cui Li, thinking he looked handsome.
When Cui Li saw Ye Wanming coming again and smiling like that, she was both surprised and not so surprised.
At this time, there were several customers queuing outside the bun shop to buy buns, and Cui Li and Zhong Lan were both busy.
Cui Li only glanced at Ye Wanming, then busied herself with her work and said to him, "If you want to buy buns, go line up over there."
"I'm not here to buy buns, I'm here to help you." Ye Wanming said as he walked into the shop, took out the rag he brought with him, and started wiping the table.
Cui Li was dumbfounded, and Zhong Lan was also dumbfounded.
"What are you doing?" Cui Li said to Ye Wanming, "I don't need your help."
"You don't have to be polite with me," Ye Wanming said as he wiped the table diligently. "I see you're so busy every day, and I feel bad for you. If I can help you share some of the burden, I'll feel better."
Cui Li was even more confused: "I don't need you to share the burden."
"You are being polite to me again. We have nothing to do with each other." Ye Wanming said.
Among the customers queuing up to buy buns, there was one who also lived nearby and knew Aunt Ye and Ye Wanming.
Seeing this scene, she teased, "Why is Wan Ming here helping? Are you and Comrade Cui dating?"
"No!" Cui Li immediately clarified.
Ye Wanming smiled innocently, lowered his head and continued to wipe the table without saying a word.
Zhong Lan looked at Ye Wanming, who seemed to be extremely happy, and then glanced at the aunt who asked the question with a look of surprise. She understood something and said with a smile, "Comrade Ye, Cui Li told you and your mother very clearly yesterday that she doesn't want to get married or have a boyfriend right now. You came to the store today and did this without even saying hello. Are you deliberately trying to cause misunderstandings?"
Ye Wanming saw that Zhong Lan had seen through his plan and even pointed it out. A hint of resentment flashed across his eyes, but he quickly smiled and said, "Comrade Zhong, what are you talking about? I really want to help Comrade Cui share the burden."
"You two don't even know each other. This will easily lead to misunderstandings and affect Cui Li's reputation." Zhong Lan said.
Ye Wanming half-feigned anger. "I just feel bad for Cui Li and really want to help her. Comrade Zhong, you can't just maliciously speculate about me because you hate me. Won't that affect my reputation?"
Zhong Lan opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but Ye Wanming spoke first.
"Cui Li, I'm leaving today so as not to delay your business. I'll come back another day." After Ye Wanming said this, he left angrily.
The aunt standing in the queue watched all this silently, her eyes sparkling.
Within a few days, the news that Cui Li was dating Ye Wanming spread.
Rumor has it that Ye Wanming went to the bun shop to help Cui Li, but Zhong Lan disliked Ye Wanming very much and drove him away.
When the neighbors came to buy buns, they asked Cui Li and Zhong Lan if Cui Li was dating Ye Wanming.
When Cui Li said "no", the neighbors thought she was shy and embarrassed to tell the truth.
When Zhong Lan said "no", the neighbors thought that Zhong Lan really didn't like Ye Wanming. They also speculated that Zhong Lan might be jealous that someone liked Cui Li, while she and Cui Li had similar conditions but no one liked her. That was why she didn't like Ye Wanming and drove Ye Wanming away just to ruin the relationship between Cui Li and Zhong Lan.
Although Ye Fuyue didn't go to the bun shop during this period and stayed in the furniture shop, she also heard about Ye Wanming, Zhong Lan and Cui Li.
She went to the bun shop specifically to ask Zhong Lan and Cui Li what was going on.
Cui Li was anxious and angry, and told Ye Fuyue everything about Aunt Ye and Ye Wanming.
"I've made it so clear. I don't want to get married or date. Ye Wanming came to the shop like a lunatic that day to clean the tables, and I also said I didn't need his help. I've made it so clear, and Zhong Lan has made it so clear too. I don't know why the story about us got spread like that."
