Qiao turned her head and saw a wealthy woman walking over.
"Grandma, Wanwan is back!" Eleven said happily.
Ruan Wanyi was both happy and heartbroken. "My dear grandson, you never react to any of my attempts to coax you. But as soon as this woman comes back, you're like a completely different person."
Qiao Yi stood up and said politely, "So it's Madam Zhan. My apologies for my rudeness."
Ruan Wanyi: "..."
"What are you yelling about? Who's old? Who's Madam Zhan!"
Qiao Yi: "......"
Aunt Zheng hurriedly came over to smooth things over, "Young Madam, you can't address Madam like that. She is Madam Zhan, and of course, you are too. Since you've never attended any important occasions together, there's no need to distinguish between you."
"I see." Qiao Yi readily agreed. "Madam Zhan, my apologies."
Ruan Wanyi looked at her suspiciously, "Aunt Zheng, what's wrong with this woman? She looks strange. Is she really Qiao Wanwan?"
“Madam, this is of course the young mistress. It’s a good thing that the young mistress is back, so please say as little as possible,” said Zheng Ma nervously.
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying I talk too much?" Ruan Wanyi said irritably. "What kind of place is the Zhan family? She can come and go as she pleases. Eleven was just starting to feel better, and she just said those kinds of things. Isn't that just making things worse? What if Eleven gets upset?"
Qiao glanced at the time, picked up Eleven from the ground, and left.
Ruan Wanyi became even more displeased and grabbed her arm, "I'm talking to you, are you ignoring me?"
Qiao Yi looked at her coldly, "Let go."
Ruan Wanyi was startled by that look and subconsciously let go of his hand.
Qiao turned and left.
She carried Eleven back into the house and placed her on the sofa. "Eleven, I have to go now. Take a shower and get some rest. I'll come back to see you tomorrow."
Eleven reluctantly agreed, "Okay..."
Qiao Yi smiled and patted his little face. "Don't be upset, we'll see each other again tomorrow."
"Um."
"Miss Qiao, let me see you off." Zhan Jingting's voice came from behind.
"No need," Qiao Yi said calmly. "Li Xuan is here to pick me up. Mr. Zhan, you should comfort your mother."
Zhan Jingting: "......"
No sooner had Qiao Yi left than Ruan Wanyi walked in, chattering incessantly, "This Qiao Wanwan is getting more and more unruly. Jing Ting, say something, will you?"
Zhan Jingting glanced at Zheng Ma, who immediately carried Eleven upstairs.
The man then spoke, "Wen Xue has rules; why should she be the hostess here?"
Ruan Wanyi: "..."
“Mom didn’t say that. Wen Xue is like this, how can she be the mistress of Wutong Bay? But I just don’t like Qiao Wanwan.”
"This is the first and last time I'm telling you this: without Wanwan, I'd rather be dead. Only with her back can I continue to live. If you want me to die before I even turn thirty, then go ahead and cause trouble. You'll feel better once we've all died."
Ruan Wanyi felt extremely wronged, "How can you, the dignified Master Zhan, be unable to leave a woman?"
"That's the truth. Even your precious grandson, as you can see, can't live without Wanwan. If you still want to live like this for the next year, you can continue targeting her tomorrow."
Ruan Wanyi was speechless and could only grit her teeth in silence.
......
In the car, Wen Lixuan turned to look at Qiao Yi and asked, "Zhan Jingting didn't bully you, did he?"
“In broad daylight, how could he possibly bully me? He was just having dinner and playing with Eleven.”
“I think I saw Ruan Wanyi’s car go in. His mother has been a widow for over twenty years, so her personality is inevitably a bit stubborn. Her loyalty is entirely to Zhan Jingting.”
Qiao Yi smiled faintly, "I ignored her. Anyway, my task now is to spend two hours with Eleven. Once the movie is finished, I'll be free."
Wen Lixuan remained noncommittal. "Are you full? Shall I take you to get some more?"
"Putting everything else aside, the food in Wutong Bay is indeed quite good."
Wen Lixuan sighed, "It's a pity I've been waiting for you outside Wutong Bay, and I'm still hungry."
Qiao Yi chuckled, "My bad, I actually let our great director go hungry. What would you like to eat? It's on me."
"The restaurant was booked a long time ago."
The two arrived at a high-end Western restaurant. Wen Lixuan ordered the food and said, "The food here is quite good. You should try it."
"Okay." Qiao Yi took a sip of water and asked casually, "Lixuan, why doesn't your aunt live at home?"
"My aunt is used to being alone, and now that she's in charge of the Wen Group, she's very busy, so she lives in a villa near the company, which makes commuting more convenient."
"I see." Qiao Wanwan asked again, "After all, she's your family. I'll have to get to know her sooner or later. Why don't you tell me what kind of person she is?"
“Actually, I don’t know my aunt very well.” Wen Lixuan took a sip of wine and said, “She was dating Zhan Jingting’s second uncle, but both families objected, so they broke up. My aunt was depressed for several years until Zhan Jingting’s second uncle passed away, at which point her emotions completely collapsed.”
"I don't know how she adjusted her mood later, but she got better and even went abroad to study. She became a successful career woman, but she has never gotten married."
Qiao nodded. "She is indeed a woman with a lot of stories."
"Yes, although she has been abroad all these years, she has always been the legal counsel for the Wen Group and has helped the Wen Group a lot. Now that she has taken over the Wen Group, she is being suppressed by Zhan Jingting and can hardly breathe, but she has never given up. Not everyone has this kind of perseverance."
