If you didn't have a sharp eye, you really wouldn't recognize it, right?
These are practically two different people! They're adorned with jewels and gold and silver, a world apart from the peasant woman they used to be!
I could tell before that Aunt Qing was no ordinary person; her aura was definitely not simple. Now that I see it, I was right.
"Ahem, Aunt Qing, you can't blame me if you don't recognize me, okay? I was almost scared to death, okay? But Aunt Qing, you look really good dressed like this, it's like you were born this way."
Aunt Qing was clearly delighted to see Ye Wanying. She waved for the servants to leave, then took Ye Wanying's hand and began to speak to her warmly:
"It's been so long since I've seen you, little girl. Looking at how happy you are, Xiao Dan must spoil you a lot, right?"
Commander Gao felt somewhat uncomfortable being teased to his face by an elder.
Ye Wanying, on the other hand, said without batting an eye, "Isn't this all just what I should do?" She spoke with such an air of entitlement and shamelessness!
"You~" Aunt Qing said helplessly, tapping Ye Wanying's forehead.
"Aunt Qing, you must be very tired these days? You've lost a lot of weight."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunqing sighed: "It is indeed not easy, but half of the Sheng family's empire belongs to my maternal family. What belongs to me, of course I have to take back. Once this period is completely over, things will be easier."
Ye Wanying naturally had no intention of prying into the Sheng family's affairs, so she changed the subject: "By the way, Aunt Qing, Brother Ziyuan and Brother Zixiu are both in B City now, working and attending night school at the same time."
For so long, Chen Yunqing had indeed not received any news from her son, and now that she heard it, she was overjoyed:
"Going to night school? Great, great! Those two rascals dropped out of school to work so I wouldn't have to work so hard, and it's always bothered me. Now that they've chosen to go back to school, I'm relieved."
"Yingying, I'll need you and Xiaodan to take care of those two from now on. For the next two years, don't let them know anything about me."
Ye Wanying and Gao Dan naturally agreed to Aunt Qing's request. Since this was what Aunt Qing wanted, there must be something Aunt Qing herself wanted.
Just as mentioned in the previous letter, the two brothers, Gao Ziyuan and Gao Zixiu, are kind and simple by nature. Naturally, their mother did not want her kind sons to see the wicked side of human nature.
Aunt Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "By the way, Yingying, how did you and Xiao Dan come back to Y City? When I heard the people below talking about it, I thought they had figured it out." she asked.
Upon hearing this, the two naturally wouldn't reveal the truth, but they did mention the matter of selling a batch of goods.
"What kind of goods?" Aunt Qing asked immediately.
Ye Wanying pondered for a moment and said, "It's just some grain. I heard that Western countries are experiencing a severe food shortage, so we bought some grain in the countryside to sell. Now that the children are older, expenses are increasing, and I don't have a job, so I was thinking of starting a business."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Qing smiled and said, "How many are there? Auntie will buy them."
Actually, Aunt Qing did this because she wanted to thank the two children for taking care of her son. So she didn't ask any questions and decided to buy the property, since the Sheng family was involved in all sorts of industries.
"Pfft, Aunt Qing, your wealth is really overwhelming, but thank you for your kindness anyway. The Sheng family mainly deals in silk, porcelain, and tea, which have nothing to do with grain. We can find someone to sell it to ourselves!"
