Jiang Jianian wasn't very interested.
Ye Zhiwei could clearly sense that Jiang Jianian had no patience to continue listening, but since it was Ye Yingying who had spoken, Jiang Jianian didn't want to be too disrespectful to his beloved. So he just frowned and followed Ye Yingying's lead, asking, "What gossip?"
It was a bit perfunctory.
There's nothing that can be done about her lack of patience and interest; Ye Zhiwei is hoping to use this opportunity to clear her name.
Not only did Ye Zhiwei have her own ulterior motives, but Ye Yingying also wanted to get a good feel for Ye Zhiwei's attitude.
The two had their own ideas, and Jiang Jianian, who was completely indifferent to the matter, acted as the mediator between them.
Therefore, even if Jiang Jianian's tone was perfunctory.
Ignoring the impatience in Jiang Jianian's tone, Ye Yingying continued seriously, "Everyone at school says that Sister Zhiwei likes Brother Jianian."
Although Ye Zhiwei was somewhat prepared, her heart still couldn't help but tremble when Ye Yingying said it in front of Jiang Jianian.
Damn it! She knew it!
Which little bastard spread this rumor? If I find out which little bastard it is, I'll tear him apart and skin him alive!
"They say that Sister Zhiwei deliberately sat next to Brother Jianian." Ye Yingying glanced at Ye Zhiwei, pursed her lips and smiled secretly, and continued.
"They say that Sister Zhiwei and Brother Jianian are a perfect match, he's handsome and she's beautiful, and actually... I think so too."
"Not only me, but I think if Uncle knew, he would also think they're a good match—"
"..."
Ye Zhiwei vaguely sensed that Jiang Jianian's expression was getting increasingly unpleasant, and she wondered when this scheming young woman would finally learn to read the room.
No, that's not quite right. Even if Ye Yingying is good at reading people's expressions, it's only in front of others. She can vaguely sense Jiang Jianian's indulgence towards her, which is why she dares to be presumptuous in front of Jiang Jianian, and only in front of him.
Jiang Jianian's gaze grew increasingly somber, but Ye Yingying paid no attention. Just as she was about to continue praising herself and Jiang Jianian as a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, Ye Zhiwei, feeling she had to take control of the situation, interrupted Ye Yingying, forcing a smile and saying, "Who's spreading these rumors?"
To emphasize the word "chaos," Ye Zhiwei deliberately stressed it out.
This attitude was somewhat unexpected, and Ye Yingying seemed to be taken aback for a moment.
Whether Ye Zhiwei was shy or a little embarrassed and angry at this moment would be fine, but it was precisely this posture that made her a little unsure. She couldn't be too sure what Ye Zhiwei was thinking, so she became cautious and tentatively asked, "Why are you spreading rumors? Are you afraid that I'll tell Uncle, Sister Zhiwei? Or are you afraid that I'll tell others what you really think..."
Ye Zhiwei was still carefully considering how to speak when Ye Yingying continued in a low voice, "If you really like Brother Jianian, I'll keep it a secret and won't tell Uncle! And I really think Sister Zhiwei and Brother Jianian are a perfect match..."
Is this younger sister treating her like a child?
"Stop, stop, stop." Sensing the atmosphere was getting increasingly tense, Ye Zhiwei knew that if she didn't stop Ye Yingying from rushing to play matchmaker, things might get out of control. She took a deep breath to make her words sound more believable, "Yingying, this might really be just hearsay. I'm a senior in high school, how could I be thinking about these things? Don't say that Dad might have misunderstood something about sitting next to Jia Nian and gave the school some random instructions. Even if I really told Dad that I wanted to sit next to Jia Nian, it was because he's an excellent student, and sitting next to him would help me a bit..."
Ye Yingying frowned slightly.
Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but inwardly applaud her brilliant remark that she had subtly clarified that it was all a misunderstanding. On the surface, however, she maintained her air of a young lady, nodded slightly to Jiang Jianian, and asked, "Jiang Jianian, it was indeed Dad's idea for us to sit together. I don't know why he made the decision on his own. If our sitting together is bothering you, you might as well tell me, and I will ask Dad not to do such unnecessary things. Hmm? What do you think?"
So don't believe those rumors, I really have absolutely no feelings for you, bro.
