Ye Wanying didn't want to bring up the sad story of the brat anymore.
As for why I keep calling Lan Zili a brat, it's because I saw him jump off a train at the drop of a hat yesterday and then pitifully starved for almost a day and a night at the train station. What else could he be but a brat?
"Now can you tell me why Yuanyuan insisted on leaving the army? Was it because of her fiancé from the Sheng family?"
Lan Zili trembled with rage after hearing Ye Wanying mention the Sheng family: "Sheng Mao, it's him! He's a treacherous villain!" He spat out the words through gritted teeth.
"Okay, you can continue!"
Lan Zili didn't hold back; what mischievous kid would have so many hidden agendas? Of course, he blurted out everything he knew:
"When the Ling family's business ran into trouble, it was Sheng Mao and his brother who caused it. Afterwards, they even proposed that if they wanted the Sheng family to help, Yuanyuan would have to marry into the Sheng family."
Ye Wanying frowned and asked, "I didn't see any signs that Sheng Mao liked Yuanyuan. How could that be?"
Lan Zili slammed his hand on the table, startling everyone at the next table who looked over: "Those are two mad dogs. Because Madam Sheng has returned, they're biting anyone they can get their hands on!"
Obviously, things couldn't be that simple. The brat was unaware of the inside story, and even Ling Yuanyuan herself probably didn't know.
That's interesting...
But I never expected it would be because of Aunt Qing's return?
It seems that what Aunt Qing said before was absolutely right. The Sheng family members are all rotten to the core; not a single one of them is a good person.
If such a large fortune were to be inherited by Sheng Mao and his family, who knows how many troubles they would cause to the people.
"Things are alright now. Yuanyuan has returned to the army, and the Ling family has sold everything to pay off their debts. After this experience, the Ling family will definitely be more cautious in the future."
Lan Zili was still very angry: "Apart from the first wife, the rest of the Sheng family are short-sighted. They probably don't know that Yuanyuan's two older brothers are doing well in the army. One was promoted to company commander last year, and the other was sent to a military academy for further study. When he comes out, he will be a prospective officer."
I immediately called the two Ling brothers. The elder brother said he'd be back soon. The Sheng family, just wait until the elder brother comes knocking on your door, hmph!
It seems that tattling is the exclusive domain of naughty kids!
Hearing this, Ye Wanying breathed a sigh of relief for Yuanyuan.
This society has always been realistic; it's always good to have someone to rely on.
As the saying goes, the people can't fight against the officials, and the officials can't fight against the soldiers.
Who gave them the confidence to be soldiers with guns in their hands?
No matter how rich the Sheng family is, they are just an ordinary business family. The Ling family, on the other hand, has two prospective military officers. Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't go looking for help.
Ye Wanying was quite curious to see what would happen when the two brothers were confronted by the eldest brother of the Ling family, and then be given a beating by Aunt Qing.
"Well done!" he praised generously.
The mischievous child was overjoyed: "That's right, Yuanyuan has been my little wife since she was little, how could I let the Sheng family's mad dog bully her?"
Young wife?
You dare say that?
Seemingly sensing Ye Wanying's confusion, the mischievous child smiled shyly: "That's right. When we played house as kids, Yuanyuan always played the role of my little wife."
But Ye Wanying could also tell that this brat seemed to have some feelings for Ling Yuanyuan, although obviously, he hadn't realized it yet.
