Yan Wanqing looked at Ye Ruyi with a gloomy expression, her eyes suddenly turning cold as she said, "Aunt Ye, I know you are unhappy because Huo Dongfang has a fiancée, but how can you do such an undignified thing in front of the guests?"
Yan Wanqing was unaware of Ye Fanxing and Ye Ruyi's past; she simply assumed that Ye Ruyi was standing up for Jiang Luoluo.
"Moreover, the blind date was just something Jiefang mentioned casually, and Huo Dongfang did not formally agree to it."
"When you first learned about this, you yourselves said you wanted to meet the person first before discussing anything else. Now that things have turned out like this, are you satisfied?"
Ye Ruyi was so angry that she trembled all over.
Faced with Yan Wanqing's anger, she was unable to reveal the truth.
Once she reveals the truth, everything she has built up over the years will vanish into thin air.
Jiang Luoluo might even disown her.
Old Jiang will also divorce her.
"It's all my fault." Ye Ruyi was Jiang Luoluo's stepmother, and her position was already awkward. In addition, Jiang Jiefang doted on this wife, so she didn't have the confidence to stand up to Yan Wanqing. She only said, "I'll go and apologize to them."
Yan Wanqing stopped Ye Ruyi, who was about to apologize, and said in a deep voice, "What's the use of apologizing now?"
She had been busy all morning, cooking so many dishes, originally hoping to get closer to Huo Dongfang.
Unexpectedly, they encountered Jiang Luoluo and Ye Ruyi, a mother and daughter who couldn't think straight.
If she had known this would happen, she should have stopped Jiang Jiefang from trying to marry Huo Dongfang.
With Jiang Luoluo's personality, marrying anyone would only make her an enemy!
"Then, what should we do?"
Yan Wanqing coldly replied, "Just do it."
Ye Ruyi looked like a timid wife who had done something wrong and dared not speak loudly, which made Jiang Luoluo feel quite sorry for her.
"Sister-in-law, don't side with outsiders! It's not entirely Mom's fault. It's that Ye Fanxing who's completely arrogant just because she has that Huo guy backing her up, okay?"
Yan Wanqing snorted coldly, too lazy to even acknowledge Jiang Luoluo, who was spoiled by the Jiang family.
"It takes two to tango; he's not acting like an elder."
Fearing that Jiang Luoluo and Yan Wanqing might have a conflict, Ye Ruyi quickly said, "Luoluo, don't hold a grudge against your sister-in-law. She's only doing this for your own good."
Yan Wanqing didn't bother to look at Ye Ruyi and Jiang Luoluo; she simply tidied up the dining table herself.
Does she think she's blind and can't see what kind of person Ye Ruyi is?
Knowing full well that she was having a dinner party at home today, not only did she not help, but she also came to cause trouble!
Fortunately, Jiang Jiefang is a sensible man; otherwise, with Ye Ruyi and Jiang Luoluo being such troublemakers, she would have been divorced for who knows how many years.
Yan Wanqing looked out of the kitchen window and saw Jiang Jiefang catch up with Huo Dongfang and Ye Fanxing.
"Old Huo, I'm sorry!"
Jiang Jiefang was extremely embarrassed. "I originally thought that we brothers hadn't seen each other for several years and would have a good get-together, but who knew... it would turn out like this."
Ye Ruyi would never have acted so recklessly in the past, I don't know what's wrong with her today.
Could it be that menopause has started early?
Huo Dongfang would not hold a grudge against Jiang Jiefang and Yan Wanqing because of Ye Ruyi.
"Jiang Jiefang, this is none of your business."
Jiang Jiefang was extremely embarrassed. "I'll treat you to drinks another day to make amends."
"good."
Huo Dongfang agreed quite readily.
He would not hold a grudge against Jiang Jiefang because of Ye Ruyi's matter.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. I didn't know Dongfang had a fiancée at first. Please don't take my sister's words to heart."
"I see."
Jiang Jiefang scratched his head and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer. I'm really sorry."
Now that things have escalated to this embarrassing state, Jiang Jiefang must go back and have a proper talk with the mother and daughter.
After Jiang Jiefang left, Huo Dongfang and Ye Fanxing walked together toward the canteen.
Throughout the journey, Huo Dongfang remained hesitant to speak.
Ye Fanxing is a very smart girl; she should have guessed that Ye Ruyi is her biological mother.
Huo Dongfang himself was also somewhat annoyed. Even if he recognized the other party as Ye Ruyi, he shouldn't have said it in front of Ye Fanxing.
When the two arrived at the cafeteria, they had already missed the mealtime.
Huo Dongfang ordered stir-fry.
Ye Fanxing's original intention was to complete the mission, and she seized every opportunity to get closer to Huo Dongfang.
"Can I... have a drink?"
Normally, Huo Dongfang would definitely not agree to Ye Fanxing drinking.
But knowing that Ye Fanxing was feeling very distressed after what happened today, Huo Dongfang said, "You can drink a little less."
"good."
Huo Dongfang ordered one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and one soup.
Considering that Ye Fanxing wanted to drink, Huo Dongfang specially ordered a snack to go with the drinks.
Ye Fanxing looked at the white wine in the glass and, after mentally preparing herself, downed the glass in one gulp.
"Star!"
Huo Dongfang never expected that Ye Fanxing would dare to down a glass of baijiu in one gulp.
Although the amount in the glass is only one or two ounces.
But this was Ye Fanxing's first time drinking alcohol, and she was drinking so much at once, which was definitely not good.
The spiciness of the liquor pierced Ye Fanxing's brain.
She looked at Huo Dongfang with teary eyes and playfully stuck out her tongue, "So spicy."
"Xingxing, you drank too fast."
Huo Dongfang served Ye Fanxing a bowl of soup and asked her to try it.
Ye Fanxing shook her head and poured herself another glass of wine.
Her slender fingers gently picked up the wine glass and lightly touched it to the glass in front of Huo Dongfang.
"She is my biological mother, right?"
Ye Fanxing drank another glass of baijiu.
