"Ye i, I didn't expect it to be really you!"
A woman who looked dignified and elegant walked in, saying with a face full of surprise:
"I just thought it looked a bit like you at the entrance, I thought I had seen wrong!"
Upon seeing this woman enter, the store manager imdiately greeted her:
"Mrs. Wu, good to see you!"
Although Mrs. Wu hadn't bought clothes from this store, she often shopped at the other major brand stores on this floor, so the manager recognized her.
"This is...?"
The store manager glanced at Ye i, asking with so confusion.
"This is my daughter!"
Mrs. Wu enthusiastically and proudly declared, appearing to have a very good relationship with Ye i.
The other custors in the store showed a look of shock upon hearing that this woman was Mrs. Wu.
In Jiangnan, the only one who could be called Mrs. Wu was naturally Wu Jinjun's wife, the Family Head of the Wu Family.
Although Wu Jinjun had an older brother, Wu Jingui, whose wife was also Mrs. Wu, she had passed away.
So now there was only one Mrs. Wu, and that was the woman right before them.
"So you're the Young Master of the Wu Family, I apologize for the oversight just now!"
The store manager was greatly surprised and quickly apologized. Experience exclusive tales on empire
At the sa ti, she was utterly puzzled, as the Wu Family was only known to have two sons. She had never heard of a daughter.
Even though she was curious, she did not dare to show it.
The affairs of a powerful family like the Wu Family were not sothing a person of her status could inquire about.
The other custors in the store had the sa thought, but their gazes toward Ye i were filled with envy!
Being the Young Master of the Wu Family, what an honor that was!
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, upon hearing Mrs. Wu's words, Ye i let out a cold snort:
"Mrs. Wu, I am not your daughter, nor do I have the qualifications to be your daughter."
Moreover, her face was covered with frost, appearing extrely cold.
What was going on?
Upon hearing Ye i's words, everyone was stunned and confused about the situation.
"Ye i, I know there's resentnt in your heart, indeed, there were many things I did wrong in the past, and I will make them up to you."
Mrs. Wu, feeling a little humiliated by Ye i's public rejection, was sowhat irritated but still held back for the sake of the bigger picture.
"Ye i, are you looking to buy clothes? How about I pay for this piece? Consider it a gift from , also to express my apology, okay?"
Mrs. Wu thought that she had already lowered herself enough, even humbling herself more than she ever had in her life.
But for the sake of the Wu Family, for the sake of her son, she had to win over Ye i, who she considered an illegitimate child in her heart.
After all, the Young Master from the Situ Family of Yandu had taken an interest in her!
"No need, even if I, Ye i, am poor, I still have money to buy clothes."
Ye i unhesitatingly rejected Mrs. Wu's so-called "goodwill."
In her heart, the years of suffering and grievances she and her mother had endured could hardly be offset by a re piece of clothing.
Furthermore, Mrs. Wu had ulterior motives!
The people in the store realized at once that this was yet another drama of grievances within the wealthy class!
So they calmly settled in to watch as bystanders, curious about how the story would unfold!
"Ye i, what exactly will it take for you to forgive ?"
Seeing Ye i's refusal to be cooperative, Mrs. Wu felt her anger rising within her.
But thinking of her son, she still restrained herself and asked through gritted teeth.
"Forgive?" Ye i couldn't help but laugh out loud, mocking, "Mrs. Wu, are you seriously asking for my forgiveness?"
"What else?" replied Mrs. Wu, taking a deep breath, "Ye i, whether your surna is Wu or Ye, it doesn't change the fact that you are a daughter of the Wu Family."
"Moreover, to show my remorse, I've already moved your mother out of her previous residence and into the main house. What else do you expect , expect the Wu Family to do?"
"How touching!"
Ye i said with a bitter smile and a long sigh, then looked straight into Mrs. Wu's eyes:
"But why is it that my mother and I lived all those years in that cluttered room that leaked during the rain, and snowed through during the snow, without you ever moving us?"
"Why is it that right after the Situ Family's son from Yandu proposed, you imdiately moved her to the main house?"
"And besides, it wasn't you who asked my mother to move, it was that old hag of the Wu Family. Of course, you're all cut from the sa cloth, and she's no better than the rest."
Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but be abuzz, as there was just too much information in Ye i's words!
It turned out that this girl was an illegitimate child, but she had caught the eye of a son from the Situ Family of Yandu, and so the Wu Family suddenly treated her and her mother like treasures.
One has to admire the imagination of the people; they had figured out the general situation from just a few words from Ye i and were quite accurate to boot!
However, the crowd was still shocked to hear Ye i referring to the Wu Family's matriarch as an old hag.
After all, that Madam Wu was one of the highest-ranking mbers of the Four Great Families, and even the heads of the other three families had to address her as their junior!
Moreover, with the Wu Family being the strongest among the Four Great Families, it only added weight to Madam Wu's stature!
Yet here this woman was, publicly calling her an old hag, which was simply inconceivable!
But the crowd didn't say anything; they just continued to watch silently, for such drama was rare indeed.
Mrs. Wu, seeing Ye i airing the Wu Family's dirty laundry in public, flushed a cycle of red and white with anger.
And Ye i, as if venting all the resentnt and frustration that had built up over years, continued:
"In the end, don't you just want to willingly marry into the Situ Family?"
"That old hag wants to latch onto the high branches of the Situ Family to glorify the Wu Family; and you, Mrs. Wu, because your son is the old hag's darling, decided as the next heir, its strength is naturally beneficial for your son."
"Would you two won with hearts of snakes and scorpions do this otherwise?"
"Yes, yes, Ye i, I never thought we would be t with such thoughts from you after all the kindness we have shown. It's truly heartbreaking!"
Mrs. Wu said darkly, her face clouding over.
"Kindness from you?" Ye i sneered: "Kindness from a dog, but you? Never!"
"I tell you, even if I die, I will not marry the son of the Situ Family!"
"What's wrong with marrying into the Situ Family? That is an opportunity others would beg for."
Mrs. Wu spat out furiously:
"If you don't want to marry into a family like the Situ Family, then whom do you wish to marry?"
"Of course, I want to marry myself!"
Just then, a lazy voice sounded from the side...
