Chapter 273 - 274: Slapping the face
She looked down on Ye Xingbei with contempt, putting on airs of superiority, her eyes full of explicit aversion and disgust. “Ye Xingbei, let me warn you. My son will never marry an obscure and savage girl like you! My son is the grandson of the distinguished Jee Family of Beijing, born into nobility, it is only noble ladies fit to match my son. You are beneath contempt, even if you use tricks to climb into my son’s bed, even if you bear my son’s child, I will never let you enter the gates of our house! You, mind your own business!”
Ye Xingbei was stunned.
After a long time, she directed at Ho Yiman a look reserved for someone delusional. “Auntie, it’s been over half a year since we last met, when did you start having delusions?”
“With which eye of yours saw I want to marry your son?”
“I have clearly and plainly told you that I just happened to be passing by and ran into Jee Xiu as a coincidence, I have no intentions towards him. What makes you keep saying I’m clinging to your son?”
“Ye Xingbei, don’t pretend,” Ho Yiman sneered, “In my life, I hate most girls like you who act fragile and delicate but have a dark heart. If you weren’t clinging to my son, why would he still be hung up on you? Ye Xingbei, don’t delude yourself. The future wife of my son will certainly be the noblest lady of Beijing’s high society. Even if it came down to it, you, with your pedigree, are not fit even to carry my son’s shoes!”
“What pedigree does my sister have?”
Xie Yunlin strides over from behind Ho Yiman, coming to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ye Xingbei, questioning Ho Yiman coldly, “Ms. Ho, could you please clarify, what pedigree does my sister have?”
The elder Jee and Senior Master Xie are comrades.
As the former daughter-in-law of Senior Master Jee, Ho Yiman has met Xie Yunlin.
She was taken aback for a moment and unconsciously repeated, “Sister?”
“Yes,” Xie Yunlin put his arm around Ye Xingbei’s shoulder and looked at Ho Yiman, indifferently introduced, “Let me introduce you, my sister from the same parents, Jiang Nianbei.”
Ho Yiman’s eyes widened in surprise. “Isn’t she Ye Xingbei?”
Xie Yunlin pressed his lips together, “My sister once went missing and used the alias ‘Ye Xingbei’, but now, she is my flesh-and-blood sister!”
He slightly tilted his chin up and looked arrogantly at Ho Yiman, “So, I want to ask Ms. Ho Yiman, what’s wrong with my sister’s pedigree?”
Ho Yiman choked, glanced at Ye Xingbei, and asked Xie Yunlin, “Does Senior Master Xie know?”
“Of course,” Xie Yunlin gently fixed the hair scattered on Ye Xingbei’s shoulder. “Beibei has been staying with my grandparents these days, taking my mother’s place to serve them. My grandparents really love my sister.”
The normally cold and arrogant gaze Xie Yunlin had towards Ye Xingbei softened and turned affectionate.
After helping Ye Xingbei tidy up her hair, he mussed up the hair at the back of her head, his gesture unbelievably affectionate and cherishing.
Ho Yiman’s hand that was hanging by her side twitched, and the expression on her face softened, “So Beibei is Master Xie’s real sister…”
She regretted it a little inside.
If she had known earlier that Ye Xingbei was Xie Yunlin’s real sister, she would not have been so nasty to Ye Xingbei just now.
Although her previous father-in-law and Senior Master Xie used to be comrades, her previous father-in-law’s current position was not as prestigious as Senior Master Xie.
Senior Master Xie’s granddaughter, Xie Yunlin’s and Xie Jinfei’s real sister, plus the title of “Star Palace’s Human Cash Printer,” Ye Xingbei is more than sufficient to become her daughter-in-law.
