There was no mystery behind this remark, it was just a common joke. Mostly meant to be ridiculing. But Tang Yue said it with a hint of meaning, as if she was referring to something. Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then slowly sat down. While playing with the chessboard, he raised his head and asked, "Mr. Ye, who made you so angry?"
Since Tang Yue mentioned it, it was naturally impossible for him not to pick up the fight. After all, he and Tang Yue were not close. But it just so happened that he was an elder. No matter how informal he and Ye Zanghua were, they couldn't ignore Tang Yue's mood.
But what he never expected was that when Xiao Zheng asked this question, he clearly felt that the atmosphere in the living room was stagnant. Although Mr. Ye was still calm and steady, Ye Zanghua who was standing aside had a look of displeasure on his face.
I don't know what happened.
"Nothing." Ye Gong took a sip of tea and said with a smile. "It's just that your mother-in-law was killed by your mother-in-law recently while playing chess. I plan to find you to vent my anger on."
Mr. Ye is not the kind of arrogant old man. Then Xiao Zheng called for his mother-in-law.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "It seems that I must be more energetic. I can't let my mother-in-law lose the situation."
Ye Gong laughed heartily and pointed at Xiao Zheng: "You, you. Are you afraid of offending her, but aren't you afraid of offending me?"
"A woman. She's definitely not as grand as us men." Xiao Zheng smiled, quite a bit like suppressing his mother-in-law and lifting up Ye Gong.
But his joke made Tang Yue frown slightly. Can't sit still.
"Master, the tea is cold. I'll make another pot for you." Tang Yue said with a smile.
Ye Gong nodded and started fighting with Xiao Zheng.
As soon as Tang Yue left, Ye Zanghua followed suit.
As soon as the two of them turned the corner, Ye Zanghua grabbed Tang Yue's arm with a gloomy look on his face: "Have you had enough trouble?"
Tang Yue stood silent and glanced at Ye Zanghua with a resentful look.
Seeing this, Ye Zanghua became even more angry: "Weren't you quite capable of fanning the flames just now? Why are you mute again now?"
Ye Zanghua said this, and Tang Yue finally responded: "What kind of fire did I fan the flames of? Yes, who do I think you are? Aren't I just a child bride? At best, I'll kiss you, at worst, She is the maid that the master has found for you."
Tang Yue became more and more angry as she talked, and said dissatisfiedly: "I have only slept four or five hours a day in these years. I am either busy at home or doing trivial things in your company. Have I ever complained? What do I want?"
"But it's good for you. As soon as the eldest sister comes home, you rush to express your stance." Tang Yue said with a sullen face. "She is smart and capable. But what's wrong with you? Haven't your company or the Ye family's industry been running very well these years? Did I let you fight Lin Chaotian? Let you Are you competing with Shang Jingtian? But you are a man, the only male in the Ye family. Can't you show some manliness and stop relying on your sister for everything? "
"Do you know what those people outside say about you? How do they evaluate you? I don't care to hear it!" Tang Yue bit her red lips, looking like she hated iron.
"you-"
Snapped!
Suddenly.
Ye Zanghua, who said nothing, suddenly slapped Tang Yue on the face. The beating made her face red and swollen. Blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
It can be seen that there are many ways to start.
"enough!"
Ye Zanghua had a gloomy face and gritted her teeth: "It's not your turn to give orders about my old Ye family!"
After saying that, Ye Zanghua snatched the teapot from Tang Yue's hand and strode away.
Tang Yue stood there blankly for a long time, tears rolled down her eyes, she covered her mouth and ran up to the second floor.
…
Xiao Zheng played three games of chess with Ye Gong. Although he tried his best, he was still no match for Ye Gong. Although it will not be completely suppressed. But at the last moment, he would always be tricked by Mr. Ye. Then gradually collapsed.
"Hahaha. I won again." Ye Gong laughed heartily, picked up the cigarettes on the coffee table, took out two and said. "Come on, take some fun."
Ye Gong also knew that Xiao Zheng was ordered by Lao Lin to quit smoking. But when we arrived at Ye Mansion, there were not so many rules. Even if Lao Lin were present, he probably wouldn't say anything.
Xiao Zheng didn't show any pretense. He took the cigarette and lit it for Mr. Ye himself.
"Come on, come with me to the courtyard to enjoy some fresh air. It's too suffocating in the house." Ye Gongguan smiled and patted Xiao Zheng on the shoulder.
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng nodded and followed out.
It's early winter. The weather in Yanjing is dry and cold. As a southerner, the old man has lived in the capital for most of his life. But still couldn't fully adapt.
Whenever I have free time, I go to the yard to enjoy the breeze. I don’t want to stay in a heated room.
After walking around with Ye Gong for two times, seeing that he didn't say much, Xiao Zheng couldn't help but take the initiative to bring up the topic: "Is there something going on at home?"
Hearing this, Mr. Ye couldn't help but look at Xiao Zheng with a smile: "Did you see it?"
"I didn't see it." Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled. "I just feel that this time I came here, it seems to be different from usual."
Ye Gong smiled, led Xiao Zheng to sit in the pavilion, and joked: "What you said just now completely offended Xiaoyue."
"—" Xiao Zheng said speechlessly. "Looks like I'll have to talk less at the dinner table for a while."
Ye Gong waved his hand: "You can say whatever you want. Where is the place for women to talk at the dinner table? Don't be too used to the audio. In the past few years, I think she is becoming more and more like her mother."
Xiao Zheng shrank his neck. Mr. Ye was so brave that he scolded the two most terrifying women in the Ye family in one breath. Xiao Zheng didn't have the courage. He smiled bitterly and said, "The sound has been changed a lot. At least I can't find any faults."
Ye Gong took a deep look at Xiao Zheng, smiled and said: "In my opinion, you are the only man who can stand my precious granddaughter."
After a pause, Ye Gong didn't talk much about this topic, but returned to Xiao Zheng's question: "There is indeed a little conflict in our family right now. Someone is getting emotional."
Xiao Zheng smiled and did not dare to answer.
Who is upset
There are only a few people in Ye Mansion. Both Ye Zanghua and Tang Yue behaved a little abnormally. As for the mother-in-law, Xiao Zheng firmly believes that the mother-in-law who has gone through great storms will not become emotional. At least not at home.
Mr. Ye did not continue the conversation. But after he mentioned it, Xiao Zheng basically understood the inside story. In addition, Mr. Ye had offended Tang Yue by mentioning it before. I guess it's her who's in a mood, right
In Xiao Zheng's impression, Tang Yue is a smart and capable woman who is also virtuous and measured at home. Why is she getting emotional at this juncture
After much deliberation, there is only one reason.
The mother-in-law is back.
And what finally tempted Tang Yue to become emotional was probably Ye Zanghua's recent performance and attitude
yes.
What woman doesn’t want her man to be good? Who can bear to watch his man degrade himself? Neither can relatives.
