When Gu Nianci first saw Ye Xunmei, who hadn't changed much, her first feeling was shame. She subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to look Ye Xunmei in the eye, afraid that he would see her current aged and haggard appearance. Her heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.
Ye Xunmei is still as dashing as ever. No wonder Ye Qingqing said he is surrounded by beauties. What woman wouldn't like the sweet-talking and handsome Ye Xunmei!
In contrast, standing next to Ye Xunmei, she looked like a cleaning lady, a generation below him. Gu Nianci's pride couldn't take it, and she suddenly regretted seeing Ye Xunmei!
"Please sit down!"
The old lady spoke calmly. She was actually quite surprised. She hadn't expected that this old bastard would become more and more charming with age. He was indeed as handsome as Pan An when he was young, but he didn't have the temperament and flavor he has now. He was like a fine wine, the longer it aged, the more mellow and fragrant it became.
Ye Xunmei smiled slightly, sat down, and sat upright. He didn't look like a man in his sixties at all; he looked to be in his early forties, or even younger.
"You are now Tang Yufen's husband and have long since severed ties with our family. Why are you still coming to our door? Do you want to see us make a fool of ourselves?" The old lady spoke without any mercy.
Ye Xunmei hurriedly said, "Madam Sang, you misunderstand. I wronged Nianci back then. I acted improperly and hurt Nianci and Mingcheng. I have always felt guilty..."
Ye Qingqing couldn't help but mock, "I've seen you living a very comfortable life all these years, with one woman on each side and another like a revolving door. I can't see any remorse in you at all."
The old lady also said sarcastically, "Children speak bluntly, but they still have some truth to them. I see you are doing quite well now."
Living a life of luxury and being a groom every night, he actually has the nerve to say he feels guilty? Humph, not even a ghost would believe that!
Ye Xunmei wasn't embarrassed at all. She smiled and said, "It's normal that you don't believe me. I did make a mistake in this matter and wronged Nianci and Mingcheng. I want to make it up to them..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Nianci, but Gu Nianci sat there like a wooden statue, not even raising her head. Ye Xunmei felt somewhat disappointed.
Upon hearing about the compensation, Ye Qingqing's anger flared up, and she angrily retorted, "If you really think you did something wrong, then return the jewelry and money you stole from my grandmother back then. That old poisonous woman Tang Yufen refuses to admit it, saying that she didn't steal it but also used that money, and that you spent it all. Naturally, our family will have to ask you for the debt!"
Ye Xunmei's expression changed slightly, and she cursed Tang Yufen inwardly for being shameless.
He was actually against stealing the money at first, but he was coaxed and bewitched by Tang Yufen and couldn't resist taking it. After boarding the train, he regretted it and wanted to get off and go back to find Gu Nianci and her son.
But fate played a cruel trick on him. Just as he was about to get off the train, it started moving again. He hesitated whether to jump or not, but he never expected that the train would go faster and faster, and he embarked on a journey of no return.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan. He didn't give all the stolen jewelry to Tang Yufen; he kept half of the most valuable pieces, and no one knew about this.
"That's why I'm here today. I can't make up for the money I've already spent, but I didn't use all the jewelry. I kept all the jewelry that Nianci liked the most!"
Ye Xunmei's words surprised the old lady and Ye Qingqing. They saw him open the bag he had brought, inside which was a very exquisite jewelry box, carved with intricate patterns. It was clearly used by a young lady from a prominent family, and it was also very old.
Although Gu Nianci kept her head down, she was secretly observing. When she saw the jewelry box, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
