Chapter 231

C231 – You Took Advantage of Me

Ye Ling found herself at a loss for words upon hearing this.

She was dismayed by her father’s lack of steadfast principles, especially how swiftly he had warmed up to Su Ming.

“Mother.”

Ye Ling turned her gaze towards Chu Qiuyun.

She hurried over to Chu Qiuyun and embraced her arm affectionately.

“My dear mom.”

With a playful demeanor, she gently swayed Chu Qiuyun’s arm.

“Enough!”

Chu Qiuyun expressed her exasperation.

Gently, Chu Qiuyun flicked Ye Ling’s forehead.

“I consider myself quite reasonable.”

“Given that you’ve introduced a boyfriend, I’d like to meet him. If you two truly match well, I’ll have no objections.”

“Certainly!”

Joy immediately spread across Ye Ling’s face.

“Mom, you’re truly wonderful!”

Ye Ling couldn’t contain her happiness and leaped for joy.

“Is the story you told about the wine accurate?”

Ye Feng whispered, his voice tinged with excitement.

“Absolutely!”

Ye Ling responded, her face beaming with a smile.

This caused Ye Feng’s eyes to sparkle with anticipation.

Suddenly, Chu Qiuyun’s gaze fell upon him.

“I’ll be thoroughly evaluating him tomorrow!”

This declaration prompted Ye Feng to adopt a more solemn demeanor.

Chu Qiuyun found herself at a loss on how to manage their antics.

With a sigh, she resignedly shook her head.

Deciding to apply a facial mask to soothe her frazzled nerves seemed like the next best step.

“What brand of wine did he purchase?”

Approaching the bathroom, Chu Qiuyun overheard the whispered exchanges between Ye Feng and Ye Ling.

“The wine he selected is all top-notch.”Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

“Really?”

“Definitely!”

“I’m thoroughly impressed by his choice! How delightful!”

Their conversation was filled with cheerful banter.

Chu Qiuyun forcefully opened the door.

“Are you implying you’re unaware of the implications of your own words?”

“You’ve got it all wrong!”

“All I mentioned was my brother’s visit for business, and you claim he’s your nephew. I stated his father is my uncle, and you assert that his father is your brother. Are you suggesting I am your son?”

“If that’s the case, then consider me your father.”

“You’re insufferable!”

“How dare you insult me?”

“Yes, I dare to rebuke you.”

“I’m inclined to confront you physically!”

“And I, you!”

The elderly duo, armed with gardening tools, commenced a scuffle right at the entrance.

Their teams watched, utterly dumbfounded and speechless.

“It’s time to depart.”

“Let’s head back home.”

“Director Wu, your company has significantly contributed to our bank’s business.”

“Mr. Zhang, your loans have been a great support to us.”

“This exemplifies a mutually beneficial relationship!”

“Exactly!”

“Has anyone not had breakfast yet? It’s on me!”

“No, you were the host last time. Allow me to cover it this time!”

“Great! There’s a breakfast spot right nearby. Let’s go there!”

“Off we go!”

Meanwhile, the elderly pair continued their altercation.

Eventually, their teams went off to grab breakfast together.

“Wang, it seems you’re growing stronger.”

“Chen, I’m not at my best today. Let’s postpone to another date!”

They paused, hands on hips, trying to regain their breath.

“Let’s resume the meeting!”

“And pick up our discussion!”

Turning around, they were astonished to see their staff had left for the breakfast stall, with some even engaging in conversation hand in hand.

They exchanged glances in disbelief.

Su Ming cleared his throat from the entrance.

In unison, they inquired.

“Mr. Su, how long have you been standing there?”

“I’ve been here quite a while.”

Su Ming responded with a smile.

“Noticing more weeds sprouting.”

“And the soil has dried out again.”
