Ye Yao shrugged at Yang Ya. “I’m sorry, Madam Yang Ya. My boyfriend doesn’t want me to leave. What should I do?”
Yang Ya’s expression turned a little ugly. She looked at Ye Yao and warned her, “Ye Yao, this is our private matter. I’m sure you’d appreciate speaking with me alone, right?” Her threat was too obvious. If others heard it, they would think that there was something fishy between the two of them.
Yang Ya thought that Ye Yao hadn’t dared to tell Huo Buyu about their relationship, so she was using it to threaten Huo Buyu. Ye Yao played along. A trace of panic flashed across her face, and she shook off Huo Buyu’s hand. “I’ll leave with Madam Yang Ya for a while. Wait for me to come back” Her tone was flustered, and her expression was obviously put on, to the extent that Huo Buyu made a mental note to possibly enroll her in an acting class because she was so bad at it!
However, with Ye Yao like this, Yang Ya probably wouldn’t be able to bully her, so Huo Buyu let go of Ye Yao’s hand.
Ye Yao left with Yang Ya. When Jiang Yun saw this, she seemed a little stunned. “Huo Buyu, does Miss Ye Yao know Madam Yang Ya? They seem to have a close relationship. In that case, what happened at Grandmother Gao’s birthday banquet was a misunderstanding?”
Huo Buyu didn’t respond. This was Ye Yao’s private matter and it was not for him to speak about it.
Huo Buran’s expression darkened. The people in the circle had more or less heard about what happened at Grandmother Gao’s birthday banquet, but it was just a few words along the line that Yang Ya had lost a very expensive necklace and it appeared that it was stolen by a young lady. Eventually, Yang Ya framed that young lady for stealing her necklace. Because the Gao family had kept peace, coupled with the Qin family’s status in the capital and the fact that Ye Yao was relatively unknown, news about this matter didn’t spread as much. However, if the news that Ye Yao was Huo Buyu’s girlfriend were to be exposed, the impact of this matter would be huge.
In the end, this matter did not have much of an impact. Everyone felt that with Yang Ya’s status, she would not make things difficult for an unknown young lady. It was probably a misunderstanding. This matter did not affect the Qin family much.
However, what Huo Buran didn’t expect was that the two people who were rumored to have been framed seemed to have a very close relationship. Moreover, Huo Buran had also witnessed Ye Yao’s put-on enthusiasm just then. Ye Yao’s personality was very different from what she had imagined. She was very curious about whether Huo Buyu could control such a lively personality. Apart from that, there was also underlying meaning in Jiang Yun’s remark.
When Jiang Yun saw that Huo Buyu and Huo Buran didn’t react to her words, she realized that she was getting ahead of herself. The people from the Huo family weren’t gossipy people. Moreover, with Huo Buyu’s personality, he wouldn’t like his girlfriend to become someone else’s topic of conversation. Jiang Yun was also anxious, given that it was only then did she realize that she had said the wrong thing. She only hoped that Huo Buyu and Huo Buran wouldn’t probe further.
Now, Ye Yao was taken to the side by Yang Ya. The woman started, “Ye Yao, what’s wrong with you? You’re now grown up and disobedient. Your father is in such a difficult situation now. Why aren’t you helping him? If he hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have known that you’ve become so heartless.”
Ye Yao looked around and noted that they were alone. She smiled at Yang Ya. “You’re so wrong to say that. You’re already married to Qin Jiao’s father. You ought to be devoted to him. Why are you concerned over your ex-husband’s matters? If your current husband hears this, what will he think?” Yang Ya had been divorced from Ye Tianhao for six years. In these six years, she had never asked how Ye Yao was doing. Now, she was pleading with and reprimanding her because of her ex-husband? Was she in the right mind?
Yang Ya did not expect Ye Yao to say this and was instantly embarrassed. “I’m talking about you and your father. No matter what, Ye Tianhao is your father. You can’t be so heartless to him.”
Ye Yao sneered. “Ye Tianhao is my father, that’s right. We can settle our own matters. You’ve already divorced Ye Tianhao. Ye Tianhao is just an outsider to you. Is it appropriate for you to care so much about an outsider?”
Yang Ya looked at Ye Yao with disbelief and disappointment on her face. “Ye Yao, why would you say that? I’m so disappointed. That’s your father. You actually address him by his name?”
Ye Yao was expressionless. Ye Tianhao was not worthy of being a father. Similarly, Yang Ya was not worthy of being her mother. Now, she only needed to ensure her own happiness.. Why should she care about those who did not care about her?
