Seeing Ye Zelin standing there, her brother was so handsome, elegant and graceful, like a god who had descended to earth.
She opened her arms, embraced Ye Zelin, and said, "Brother, Ruhuan is useless. Ruhuan can't help you."
Ye Zelin touched the back of Ruhuan's head, a faint smile on his lips, "Silly girl, you don't have to worry about your brother. He will take care of his own affairs."
Ruhuan let go of Ye Zelin and looked inside with resentment. She was looking at Hua Fushu, but Hua Fushu had her back to Ruhuan and didn't know that Ruhuan was looking at her and how much she hated her.
Sanqiao noticed Ruhuan's strange look, but she didn't know why she was looking at her girl like that.
Ruhuan left Feiyuan and went to Hualou. Just after leaving Feiyuan, she met her personal maid Douzhi, who ordered her to go to Feiyuan to watch over it and report to her at any time if there was any situation.
At this time, Ye Zelin and Sanqiao had been called into the house.
Inside the room, Ye Zelin saw Hua Mingqian, Madam Qidie, and his father Ye Shiheng sitting upright. His mother, Madam Ouyang, stood beside his father, and Madam Qidie sat next to Hua Mingqian. The four of them had serious expressions on their faces.
Mrs. Qidie's seriousness overshadowed the paleness on her face, and she did not look like someone who had caught a cold or was in poor health.
The atmosphere was so solemn that Ye Zelin felt like he was in court.
However, he stood upright, so why was he afraid or guilty? He straightened his body slightly.
He glanced at Hua Fushu out of the corner of his eye, only to see Hua Fushu leaning against the wall, arms folded, head lowered, looking a little depressed.
Hua Feimo saw Ye Zelin's gaze, then stood in front of Hua Fushu, looked at Ye Zelin, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Ye Zelin couldn't see Hua Fushu's expression clearly. When he saw Hua Feimo looking at him, he quickly looked away.
Ye Zelin bowed to several elders, seriously and not casually, pious and respectful.
Madam Qidie said nothing, glanced at Ye Zelin lightly, and her serious expression faded a little.
Ye Zelin originally thought that Madam Qidie would question him, but unexpectedly, Madam Qidie harshly questioned Sanqiao: "Sanqiao, what exactly is going on? What else did that bastard do?"
The scandal naturally included Hua Fushu's breaking off of the engagement.
That bitch of hers actually said such shameless words in public, which really brought shame upon herself in the street.
Fortunately, her daughter was engaged to Ye Zelin. If that really happened, it would be easy to resolve through discussion. If it was with someone else, it would not be so easy to discuss.
Hearing this, Hua Fushu suddenly raised his head and said, "Mother, you should be careful with your words. What do you mean by asking me to do something shameful?"
Madam Qidie tilted her head to look at Hua Fushu and said, "Do you have the right to speak?"
Looking at Madam Qidie, Hua Fushu thought about his mother who had fainted from anger, and shut up awkwardly.
She secretly hated her own mouth for letting her know that she and Ye Zelin had slept in the same bed. Given her mother's personality, this matter would be difficult to resolve unless she married Ye Zelin.
When Madam Qidie saw this, Sanqiao trembled and told her the whole story of why Hua Fushu invited Ye Zelin to dinner and how the two of them slept on the same couch. She also criticized Ye Zelin, saying that he was a hypocrite and didn't care about Ye Shiheng and Madam Ouyang who were present.
Madam Qidie listened carefully, audibly slurring every word. She knew exactly how much truth there was in it.
After Sanqiao finished speaking, Madam Qidie's face was expressionless. No one except herself knew whether she believed what Sanqiao said. Madam Qidie glanced at Sanqiao and suddenly thought about it.
Ye Zelin saw Madam Qidie thinking, but he didn't know what she was thinking. Madam Qidie didn't say anything, and his father and mother didn't say anything either.
But Hua Mingqian looked at him as if questioning him. Ye Zelin shook his head slightly, then bowed deeply.
Several elders remained silent, but since he was one of the parties involved, he naturally had to speak up. He said, "Uncle, Aunt, Ze Lin did not do anything improper to Sister Fu Shu. I hope you will understand."
Madam Qidie said, "Child, I believe you."
"Mom!" Hua Fushu said dissatisfiedly.
Hearing what Madam Qidie said, Ye Zelin smiled faintly.
Unexpectedly, Madam Qidie changed the subject and continued, "Zelin, although you and my daughter are not husband and wife, you have had physical contact. Do you acknowledge this?"
Ye Zelin lowered his head slightly, his brows drooping, then raised his head again and glanced at his father Ye Shiheng. He didn't know whether Ye Shiheng noticed it, but he didn't react at all.
Ye Zelin didn't get a response from his father, and Madam Qidie's words were a bit serious, so he said truthfully: "I admit it."
Not to mention that he and Hua Fushu had slept in the same bed, just the fact that Hua Fushu was captured by him in the Xianhua Club, Hua Fushu jumped on him and hugged him, and he hugged Hua Fushu, each of these events could be considered as physical intimacy between him and Hua Fushu.
He could neither admit nor deny it.
Hua Mingqian looked at Ye Zelin and suddenly felt as if the flowers in his own garden had been picked by a thief.
He hoped that his daughter would fulfill her engagement and marry Ye Zelin, so he and Ye Shiheng planned to let Hua Fushu and Ye Zelin meet. However, his daughter had no feelings for Ye Zelin at all. When he heard Ye Zelin admit that he had physical contact with Hua Fushu, he couldn't help feeling a little angry.
But this result was caused by him himself.
Madam Qidie said, "The gentleman and your father were once officials in the same court, and they were even sworn brothers. That's why he promised you your marriage to my daughter Fushu. Fushu broke off the engagement privately, which was disgraceful, and you have been intimate with her. Zelin, let me ask you, are you still willing to marry Fushu?"
Hua Fushu said: "I won't marry!"
Madam Qidie said, "You have no right to speak on this matter!"
Hua Fushu's aura was very strong, but Madam Qidie's aura was even stronger, and she suppressed Hua Fushu's aura.
Hua Fushu shut up angrily, but looked at Hua Mingqian. From the moment Ye Zelin entered the room until now, her father hadn't said a single word. "Dad, you just listen to Mom so much, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you?"
Hua Mingqian said, "Hua'er, in our family, your mother has always had the final say."
Hua Fushu lowered her head, looking dejected. She really didn't want to talk anymore, and there was no point in saying anything more.
My father and mother are in the same boat. From childhood to adulthood, my father always follows my mother's ideas in everything related to her.
Madam Qidie asked again, "Zelin, are you willing to marry this bastard of my family?"
Hua Fushu was depressed. Her mother was eager for her to get married, so why did she slander her in front of Ye Zelin?
What expression would his mother have if Ye Zelin said no?
Thinking of this, Hua Fushu couldn't help but feel a little excited about how Ye Zelin would answer his mother. She most hoped that Ye Zelin would say no, so that his father and mother would have no way to deal with her, and everyone would be happy.
How will Ye Zelin respond to Madam Qidie?
Are you willing or not?
