Wu ngyi saw that Bai Xue wasn’t too foolish and managed to bring the situation back, even though she didn’t see the reactions of the people around, she believed the words would work. After all, over the years, in the eyes of the people in the compound, Bai Xue was a gentle person, not even speaking loudly, but ever since the eldest daughter of the Ye family ca back, there seed to always be sothing going on in the Ye family.
For a mont, everyone thought the problem was with the eldest daughter of the Ye family. Sun Mingjie’s mother, Lin Chu, also ca over, "Ye Ling, your mother is disciplining you for your own good. How could you think this way? Besides, she only hit you a few tis. Get up quickly, don’t let your mother beco a laughing stock."
Lin Chu had also taken leave these days for her son’s upcoming sophomore year exams, focusing on making als for him at ho.
Ye Ling responded coldly, "Everyone in the compound knows Aunt Lin loves Sun Mingjie. Why haven’t we seen Aunt Lin ever hit him?"
Easy to talk while standing. Ye Ling, not intending to leave a good impression on people in the compound, naturally wouldn’t let herself be wronged and would directly rebut any words.
"Forget it, forget it, it’s my fault for being kind." Lin Chu, being rebuked, turned away with an embarrassed face.
Bai Xue complained to Wu ngyi beside her, "You saw it yourself. That’s how she is. Whoever talks to her gets lashed out at. How can I not be anxious watching this?"
Wu ngyi didn’t respond to that, only advising, "I know you’re anxious about your children. We’re all mothers, how could I not understand your feelings? But let’s talk at ho. Sitting on the ground like this with your child, what kind of sight is that? This is the company compound."
"Yes, mom, let’s go ho first," Ye Qian also advised, fearing that her mother would say sothing to further upset Ye Ling. If it escalated, they’d be the ones losing face.
Bai Xue, feeling pointed out again, knew she couldn’t continue making a scene. She stood up from the ground with a helpless expression and told her eldest daughter, "What are you still doing sitting on the ground? Let’s go ho."
People around saw there was nothing much, just the eldest daughter of the Ye family making a fuss, so everyone went about their own business. Those who stayed were mostly children.
Ye Ling shook her head, "I won’t go back to that house. I don’t have a ho."
"You child, how can you say that?" Wu ngyi frowned, her tone still kind but couldn’t help but feel agitated inside. The eldest daughter of the Ye family was truly unlikable, not giving in even when offered an out, still wanting to make a fuss. In this compound, who doesn’t give her face? Her tone beca slightly more stern, "Ye Ling, you’ve made a scene, leaving your mother embarrassed in the compound. Still want to make a fuss now? You better think carefully. Is this good for your reputation in the future? You’re still young now and can’t see far, you need to worry about your future path."
In this era, having a falling out with your family would indeed influence future marriage prospects.
"No need for Aunt Wu to worry, I understand all of this." Ye Ling stood up from the ground, her bare feet on the ground, "I won’t go back to that house ever again. Whether I live or die is my own business, no one else’s fault."
Seeing Ye Ling speak to this extent, still so stubborn, Wu ngyi’s expression turned a bit sour.
"Don’t bother with her, she’ll know the good of ho after going hungry for a few days outside." Bai Xue, fearing to offend Wu ngyi, quickly diverted the topic, "You also ca back for Liu Rui’s exams, right? Out buying groceries now? See how you’ve been held up this ti, today you’ve even been laughed at."
Wu ngyi’s expression softened, "It’s fine, I see Ye Qian is not well too, let’s go inside first."
Just as Bai Xue said, after spending a day outside, she’ll know how tough it is, let’s see how long she can last. Bai Xue and Ye Qian brought Wu ngyi inside, leaving Ye Ling outside.
"My mother ant well, don’t you think refusing soone else’s good intentions is a bit much?" Liu Zhiyuan walked up to Ye Ling, looking at her coldly.
Was he standing up for his mom?
Ye Ling sneered, "If the good intentions aren’t accepted by others and you still force it, those intentions beco bad."
In her past life, she was ruined because of the man in front of her. This ti, Ye Ling wouldn’t lower or wrong herself just to win his attention or gaze.
Liu Zhiyuan glared coldly at Ye Ling before turning and walking back ho.
Zhao Guodong had just broken free from Zhang Linong’s grip, yelled at Liu Zhiyuan’s retreating figure, "Mind your own business."
He squeezed to stand in front of Ye Ling, "How did you get beaten like this?"
Normally she was formidable, Zhao Guodong thought to himself. "Where are you going now? Or do you want to go to Lining’s grandma’s place again?"
Ye Ling shook her head, "No need, I’m going to stay at a hotel."
Now that it’s co to this, her father would rush back by today or tomorrow, staying at Zhang Linong’s grandma’s place wouldn’t solve the problem. It’s better to stay at a hotel and wait for her father to find her and resolve it.
Zhao Guodong frowned, staring at her feet, then took off his shoes, "Put these on first, later..."
Zhao Guodong ant to say he’d buy shoes to replace them later.
But where would he get the money? At this mont, he realized no matter how imposing he was in the compound, without money, he couldn’t do anything.
Ye Ling saw through his embarrassnt, "I have money, I’ll buy a pair later. You should keep your shoes, or else I’d have to co back and give you money."
She took one last look at the compound, she didn’t want to co back ever again.
Initially, she wanted to get through the high school entrance exams and then stay at school, enduring it. But with what happened today, she no longer wanted to endure. With such a mother, it’s better to resolve it all at once.
Zhao Guodong kept silent, pushed by Zhang Linong, reluctantly put his shoes on, yet inside he was determined, promising himself to earn a lot of money in the future, so when Ye Ling had trouble, he wouldn’t be powerless to help.
"You two should go back. The day after tomorrow is the entrance exams, we’ll see each other at the exam hall. Don’t worry, my grandma left so money, I won’t starve," Ye Ling kept her grandma’s money with her, so she wasn’t worried although she left without taking anything.
Zhang Linong nodded, "Take care of yourself, we’ll see each other at the exam."
Still, he and Zhao Guodong escorted Ye Ling to the gate of the compound, watched her walk barefoot away, then silently went ho.
On their way ho, almost at his place, Zhao Guodong suddenly said, "Lining, I want to earn a lot of money, I want to beco rich."
Zhang Linong looked up at him, clearly checking if he went bonkers again, since young Zhao Guodong had always shouted about becoming a worker, why now suddenly want to be rich?
"I must beco rich," Zhao Guodong firmly stated again, then turned and walked ho with large strides.
Zhang Linong just thought it’s a montary craze, paid no mind, shook his head and returned ho, while the story of Ye Ling leaving ho had spread throughout the compound in the afternoon.
