Guan Mingyue's eyes widened in shock as she pointed at Ye Weiwei and asked, "What...what do you mean?"
Ye Weiwei narrowed her eyes, her gaze sharp: "The literal meaning! This is what you call a noble lady, a socialite of the capital? It's one thing to lack discernment, but to be unable to understand human language? A hollow reputation!"
Guan Mingyue trembled with anger, "Ye Weiwei, you...you've gone too far! I...I'm..."
Ye Weiwei said coolly, "Who you are, what you are, I have no interest in knowing. If you came here in broad daylight just to find out who you are, then I already know. Go back and tell those people behind you: The Qin family has disappointed me greatly! It's not even the New Year yet, and they can't wait to come and jump in front of me, hehe!"
Guan Mingyue was publicly exposed, feeling utterly humiliated and disgusted. She was furious but dared not admit it. In the end, she could only utter the words, "My good intentions have been wasted!" and left with a livid face.
Looking at Guan Mingyue's face, which was contorted with anger, Aunt Hua couldn't help but give Ye Weiwei a thumbs up.
Young mistress, you're really something!
Ye Weiwei waved her hand, and as she went downstairs, she rubbed her stomach and said to Aunt Hua in a coquettish tone, "Aunt Hua, did you leave me any food? I'm starving."
Aunt Hua said with a smile, "It's been kept warm for you. I'll go get it for you."
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Hua."
After saying that, Ye Weiwei walked to Liu Guilan's side, took Liu Guilan's arm, and said, "Mom, what was wrong with you just now? You just stood here and let that woman talk back to you in a sarcastic way? I was so angry! Why didn't you teach her a lesson! Don't tell me you didn't realize that woman had bad intentions!"
Liu Guilan said with a wry smile, "I haven't even opened my mouth yet, and you've already come out."
Ye Weiwei pouted, "I don't believe it! Mom, you're only holding back because of Grandpa Qin! If this were our own home, you would have taught her a lesson long ago. This clown dares to jump around in front of you, she's asking for trouble!"
Liu Guilan couldn't help but chuckle, and the slight displeasure in her heart instantly vanished. "I'm just a guest here, so it's not good to ruin things over such a small matter."
Ye Weiwei had an "I knew it" look on her face. "Don't worry about Old Master Qin's reputation, just flirt with her first! She chose this time to come over today without considering Old Master Qin's reputation. She's just asking for trouble. Why are you still hesitating? There's no need at all. Just slap her to death!"
And we need to completely shut them down, let them know that we're not to be trifled with! Just like today, they tried to intimidate us, so we'll teach them a lesson first!
"Do they really think the Qin family is so great?! Without Old Master Qin, the Qin family is just a pile of loose sand; someone could easily scatter them with a wave of their hand. And yet they still think so highly of themselves!"
Liu Guilan reached out and tapped Ye Weiwei's head: "Your little mouth, it really doesn't hold back at all!"
Ye Weiwei pouted, "Mom, you didn't say that before. You used to praise me for being sweet-talking and able to sweet-talk anyone to death."
Liu Guilan couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Yes, that's true now. Hearing your words makes me feel sweeter than if I had eaten honey."
Thinking of how Ye Weiwei had made Guan Mingyue look like she was about to vomit blood, Liu Guilan felt particularly relieved.
How could she not understand the meaning behind Guan Mingyue's words, or see through Guan Mingyue's little scheme?
The thought of how she had lived with these people for so many years and how she must have been subjected to their sarcastic remarks made her furious.
Although Ye Weiwei's actions were a bit reckless, she said and did everything she wanted to say, which made her feel incredibly relieved.
Aunt Hua admired Ye Weiwei even more for her gentle and sweet words to Liu Guilan, a stark contrast to her earlier confrontation with Guan Mingyue.
Don't let her young age fool you; she's open-minded and straightforward.
She seemed aggressive when dealing with Guan Mingyue, but every word she said hit the nail on the head, firmly holding the line of reason.
Guan Mingyue usually enjoys teaching the younger generation manners and never forgets to talk about good manners, highlighting her family background and status from a prominent family. If she really uses her status as an elder to control them, they will definitely become more and more demanding in the future.
It would be better to do what we did today: immediately pin her down upon meeting her, thus preventing her from using her tricks.
After breakfast, Ye Weiwei nursed the baby again before getting ready to go shopping for New Year's goods.
The kitchen was basically fully stocked with everything needed. Aunt Hua was in charge of grocery shopping, keeping a daily record of what was bought. Ye Weiwei didn't interfere. They mainly bought other things for the New Year, such as dried fruit, cigarettes, alcohol, and candy, as well as some daily necessities.
Ye Weiwei took Liu Guilan and Huo Xiao out shopping today, mainly to buy them some shoes, socks, and underwear.
Then I just wander around and buy whatever catches my eye.
The group shopped for more than two hours and bought a lot of things that looked like they couldn't fit them all in the car.
Ye Weiwei's shopping spree startled Liu Guilan, who kept tugging at Ye Weiwei's clothes, signaling her to stop buying and that that was enough.
Ye Weiwei finally went out for a stroll, and since she had plenty of money, she wanted to fully enjoy the fun of shopping. Once she started, she couldn't stop herself.
Huo Xiao and the driver practically became her porters.
Just as Ye Weiwei was almost finished enjoying herself, she suddenly heard someone next to her say sarcastically, "As expected, he's a country bumpkin who can't stand up to scruples. He's suddenly rich, and he's already acting all arrogant. What a disgrace!"
Ye Weiwei cursed her bad luck inwardly. How come she always runs into these mad dogs that bite people wherever she goes!
She turned and looked coldly at the woman who had spoken. Seeing the woman's slanted eyes, thin lips, and pointed chin, she narrowed her eyes. "Are rural people not allowed to buy clothes in shopping malls? Or are rural people forbidden from spending their hard-earned money in the city? This is a new era, and you're still stirring up urban-rural divide in public! Where did you come from? I strongly suspect you're an enemy spy, specifically sent to undermine our internal unity. Tell me, which unit are you from?"
Zhou Qingwan was furious at Ye Weiwei's sharp tongue, even going so far as to accuse her of being a spy. She pointed at Ye Weiwei and retorted, "Stop spouting nonsense! I'm a perfectly legitimate local from Kyoto. You suspect I'm an undercover agent, but I suspect your money is ill-gotten! Otherwise, where would a bunch of country bumpkins get so much money to squander here? We're all frugal and hardworking, while you're wasting it. Who's in the wrong here? You'd better let everyone judge for themselves!"
