Chapter 17 The Toad Wants to Eat the Swan Flesh (Seventeen)
Ye Yao came back from outside, almost exhausted.
"Yaoyao, you absolutely wouldn't dare to do such a thing..."
Zhang Qiufeng's trembling voice came from the room. Ye Yao paused and walked in as quickly as possible.
In addition to Zhang Qiufeng, there were also Wang Guihua and Li Cuilan in the room.
The atmosphere was stiff and awkward, and Zhang Qiufeng was even more uneasy.
"What are you doing?"
Ye Yao's sharp voice was about to start a conversation among the three of them.
When Wang Guihua saw her, she curled her lips and showed extreme disdain.
Zhang Qiufeng obviously didn't expect Ye Yao to come back suddenly, and she became anxious in an instant, "Yaoyao, I have something to say to your aunt and the others, you should go back to the house first."
What just happened, I cannot let her know no matter what.
Instead of leaving, Ye Yao strode up to her and glanced coldly at Wang Guihua and Li Cuilan.
"What? I want to hear it too."
As long as Wang Guihua is around, the one who gets bullied is always her mother.
Zhang Qiufeng's face looked even uglier, and she rubbed her hands nervously.
Why can't she just listen!
"Qiu Feng, now that Ye Yao is back, this matter will be easier to deal with."
Wang Guihua spoke in a sharp and domineering tone.
Zhang Qiufeng subconsciously put her body in front of Ye Yao, but her thinness and Ye Yao's fatness formed a sharp contrast.
"Qiu Feng, stop protecting her. You can't protect her!"
Wang Guihua teased, then looked past Zhang Qiufeng and looked at Ye Yao.
"Ye Yao, the neighbors in the compound are saying that you hooked up with a poor boy in the village. Is this true?"
Ye Yao looked at Wang Guihua's questioning expression, lowered his eyes, and became a little colder.
"What if it's true? What if it's fake?"
Wang Guihua's expression suddenly became interesting and she nudged Li Cuilan beside her.
"Cui Lan, you heard it. She didn't deny it."
Li Cuilan nodded awkwardly, her expression becoming much gloomier.
Zhang Qiufeng was extremely uneasy and wanted to explain, but was stopped by Ye Yao's eyes.
She just wanted to see what these two women wanted to do when they suddenly came over. "What does this have to do with you? Are you bored and want to meddle in my family's affairs?"
Wang Guihua was almost so angry that her nose was crooked. The damn girl was really powerful. Not only did she beat her daughter, but she even dared to talk to her in such a tone.
"How can it be okay? You did such a shameless thing, and you still want to marry Li Cheng? I tell you, we are here today on behalf of the Li family to cancel the engagement!"
Ye Yao rolled his eyes and looked at her as if she was an idiot.
"You represent the Li family? What is your relationship with the Li family?"
"I have nothing to do with the Li family, but Cuilan is Li Cheng's second aunt..."
Wang Guihua had already thought of this, so she specially persuaded Li Cuilan to come along, just to make it legitimate now.
Li Cuilan was stunned for a moment, but soon sighed.
That's not what she told her before coming over.
Rumors had been spreading in the compound since this morning, and she had heard them. Not long after, Wang Guihua found her.
She was asked to come with her to the Ye family to inquire about the situation. After all, Ye Yao was the Li family's daughter-in-law yet to be married, and since such a scandal had occurred, she, as an elder, had to intervene.
She originally wanted to say that if it was true, she would go back and discuss the marriage with her elder brother and sister-in-law. But she didn't expect that Wang Guihua would suddenly make the decision for her family and cancel the engagement!
