"I’m just speaking the truth, don’t take it the wrong way," Ye Xingbei said. "But of course, with Brother Li’s conditions, the background of his other half doesn’t matter. What’s important is what he likes. So, I still say the sa thing: I’ll pass on the ssage for you, but whether he likes you or not, that’s for him to decide."
Wuhu Wenshi was about to die from anger.
The reason she invited Ye Xingbei upstairs and humbly tried to win her over was to draw Ye Xingbei to her side and have Ye Xingbei say nice things about her in front of Ye Xingli.
If not for this, wouldn’t it be better for her to confess directly to Ye Xingli?
Why would she have to swallow her pride and try to please Ye Xingbei?
"Can’t you just say sothing nice for ?" After a long pause, Wuhu Wenshi finally found her voice. "Beibei, we are cousins! There aren’t many people closer to you than . Would you rather let an outsider beco your sister-in-law than have as your sister-in-law?"
Ye Xingbei smiled faintly, "Discussing this with is pointless, really! Whether Brother Li likes you or not is his issue, not mine to decide."
Of course, if Ye Xingli were to ask for her opinion, she’d speak the truth. She wouldn’t be swayed by the sugar-coated bombshells of so-called close cousins.
She’s not that naive.
"You... you..." Wuhu Wenshi said resentfully, "Even if you won’t speak well of , at least don’t badmouth to Ye Xingli, okay?"
Her biggest worry now is that Ye Xingbei might speak ill of her to Ye Xingli due to preconceived notions.
That would leave her with absolutely no chance.
Actually, she regrets it quite a lot right now.
She hadn’t considered marrying Ye Xingli before.
She used to wish to marry Gu Junzhu.
But then Ye Xingbei ca out of nowhere and snatched Gu Junzhu away, and she was, of course, jealous.
However, she wasn’t as foolish as Xie Motong.
She was self-aware enough to know that anyone who opposed Gu Junzhu wouldn’t end well. She never openly went against Ye Xingbei.
She also tried to show her best side in front of Ye Xingbei, suppressing her jealousy and hostility toward Ye Xingbei as much as she could.
Unfortunately, it had little effect.
Because deep in her heart, she resisted the jealousy for Ye Xingbei, and she never could get close to Ye Xingbei.
If she had known she would fall for Ye Xingli, she would have tried her best to ingratiate herself with Ye Xingbei, to make Ye Xingbei like her.
But alas, knowing before it happens is priceless...even more so when she has no money!
She could only resort to desperate asures, calling Ye Xingbei to her room to try and build rapport.
She didn’t initially plan to reveal her purpose so soon.
She wanted to first warm up to Ye Xingbei.
To gradually beco close and trusted sisters with Ye Xingbei, then disclose her feelings for Ye Xingli.
By then, with a developed emotional bond, Ye Xingbei would definitely help her.
It all sounded good in her head, but unfortunately, Ye Xingbei was not cooperating!
Ye Xingbei didn’t even give her a chance to ease the tension.
Ye Xingbei pressed her confrontationally, and in her panic, she blurted out her intentions.
Once the words were out, she regretted it.
She shouldn’t have spoken so soon!
She should have thought of ways to win Ye Xingbei over first, then bring it up.
And now that she’s said it, given her current relationship with Ye Xingbei, Ye Xingbei is sure to speak ill of her to Ye Xingli.
