Chapter 2106: Daydreaming

Du Jiayi was just an outsider. How could she compare to Li Yuan? Li Yuan even followed Madam Li’s surname. It could be seen how high his status in Madam Li’s heart was!

Glancing at the handsome figure standing in front of her on his phone, Ye Ying’s smile became tamer.

A trace of contempt flashed across Du Jiayi’s eyes as she silently took in all of Ye Ying’s expressions and actions. The smile on her face remained as she continued to hold Ye Ying’s arm tightly. She pouted and acted playfully. “Mom, you’re so biased. My friends have never received any praise from you. And you haven’t praised me in a long time.”

Did she really think that Ye Ying could marry into the Du family after coaxing her mother? Heh, she really knew how to daydream.

For some reason, Du Jiayi didn’t like Ye Ying. She had been biased from the beginning.

Madam Li glared at her daughter, who had started to act mischievously again. Although it was said that she was glaring, her eyes were filled with love. “If you were half as good as Ye Ying, I’d dote on you every day.”

Even Staff Officer Du got involved and laughed. “Your mother is right. If you were half as obedient as Ye Ying, I’d dote on you too.”

One should just listen to their polite words, not take them seriously. Ye Zhifan quickly flattered them. The atmosphere was so happy that everyone smiled.

Du Jiayi looked at Ye Ying, who was getting more and more uncomfortable. She sighed with a smile. “Ye Ying, your arrival has made my status plummet. I don’t care anymore. I’ll leave the heavy responsibility of coaxing my mother to you in the future.”

The affectionate and witty words made the laughter of the three adults present louder and louder.

…

Ye Ying couldn’t figure out what was going on in Du Jiayi’s heart. She tried her best to smile naturally and said gently, “You’ve made me happy. It’s my blessing to be able to make Madam Li happy.”

Du Jiayi was cold and hot at the same time. Her words and actions were different. Her words were clearly sarcastic, but they made the adults laugh. Ye Ying couldn’t help but be afraid and envious.

In the face of power, Ye Ying was not as arrogant as she was toward Ye Jian. No matter how rude Du Jiayi was to her, she could endure it willingly.

When the Du family of four got into the car and left, Ye Ying gritted her teeth and clenched the corner of her s.h.i.+rt tightly to vent her anger.

Ye Zhifan, who had walked over, looked at his daughter’s fingers that were gripping her clothes. His eyes were dark as he said calmly, “That’s how confident Du Jiayi is. She dares to do this because she has the ability to despise you.

“The reason why you don’t dare to talk back is that she has enough power to despise your status. Ye Ying, what’s superiority? It’s daring to say what you want and do what you want. No matter how uncomfortable others are, they can only accept it obediently.”

Ye Ying bit her lower lip tightly. She looked up at her father and put down her pride unwillingly. She gritted her teeth and said, “I know. So for now, I can only endure it until I can marry into the Li family.”

“Madam Li was just joking. Did you take it seriously?” Ye Zhifan interrupted Ye Ying’s dream. “What kind of family is the Du family? Do you think that they can’t find a daughter-in-law from a famous family?

“Ye Ying, don’t dream about these. You should think about how to make use of Madam Li’s liking to fight for a place in the military. See if it’s possible to transfer to military school and become an officer with a military rank.”
