Chapter 452: Chapter 314: Confrontation
The second night watch arrived.

“Why are you back?” Qiang Yuxian greeted her, taking the bag from her hand, “Why didn’t you bring Tongtong over? Grandma has been talking about her these past few days.”
“I just got back from a business trip, haven’t even been ho yet, I ca to see Grandma first,” Ye iyun said as she stepped forward and hugged Grandma Ye, swaying her from side to side, “Grandma, you haven’t forgotten your older granddaughter because of the little one, have you?”
“You child!” Grandma Ye laughed heartily, deep wrinkles forming on her face, “Which granddaughter isn’t my granddaughter? You, ever since you were little, have been jealous of iru. Now you’re all grown up and still jealous of your sister, aren’t you embarrassed?”
“Who made you all favor her?” Ye iyun only then noticed her sister’s swollen eyes and let go of Grandma, sitting next to Ye iru and hugging her, “What’s wrong now?”
“It’s nothing, just feeling a bit down, felt like crying.” Ye iru pushed her sister’s hands away, “I’m going to wash my face.”
“What happened?” Ye iyun blinked at Grandma Ye, “Grandpa still hasn’t accepted her?”
“Your grandpa has already forgiven iru. It’s just that she rembered sothing from the past and got a bit sad,” Grandma Ye whispered to her older granddaughter, “She’s your sister, be more tolerant and don’t always use such harsh words on her.”
“Who made her so ungrateful? Zhou Mikang is such a good man, and she didn’t want him but went after so foreign guy with blonde hair, and now she’s suffering for it, right? I don’t want to hurt her, but I’m afraid if I don’t, she might make more decisions that hurt others and not benefit herself.
It’s only been a bit better these past two years. Before, whenever I attended gatherings with friends from our circle, I would always get criticized. Even though it was her who erred, they would still place the bla on . Being her sister has really brought misfortune.”
“Alright, alright, it’s all in the past, don’t dwell on it.” Qiang Yuxian stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into her daughter’s mouth, “Eat sothing sweet to sweeten your mood.”
“Mom, you always sided with her, that’s what spoiled her this way,” Ye iyun grumbled discontentedly, “Ever since we were little, you made give in to her in everything, and look where that has gotten us now? Anyone who doesn’t give in to her ends up living uncomfortably, we might as well have produced an emperor.”
Ye iru lingered in the bathroom for quite a while before coming out. She was well aware of her sister’s dissatisfaction because of her, her sister had a particularly hard ti in her marriage matters, ultimately having to marry a common worker as her brother-in-law. Hence, she owed her sister a debt she could never clearly state or repay in her lifeti.
“Is brother-in-law doing well?” Ye iru asked softly after sitting down.
“He’s just as ever, spending all day ssing around in the factory…” Ye iyun snorted, “Studying so screw for ten days straight without coming ho, I tell you, at this rate, he might not even be able to find his way ho.”
“His willingness to progress is good,” Grandma Ye consoled, “Even though his family and social status do not match your classmates’ husbands, in terms of obedience, not a single one can match him, right? People need to be evaluated by both their strengths and weaknesses, not just by comparing others’ strengths with your own shortcomings.”
“Alright, Grandma, I’m just venting. Tongtong is already three, I’ve settled down now. Speaking of which, compared to Yan Xin and Zhao Yulu, I’m still the luckiest.
They married into their husbands’ families and ended up being like maids, with lots of rules from both their mother-in-law and their granny-in-law. Don’t worry, I won’t bla iru anymore. In fact, I even have to thank her; if it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have married a man of his social standing.”
Yan Xin and Zhao Yulu had been Ye iyun’s playmates from childhood, the three of them were as close as could be growing up, and remained tight friends as adults. But it’s like this with girls; good friends or not, when it cos to work and marriage, they couldn’t help but compete.
“Sis, are you really… really not blaming anymore?” Ye iru stared pitifully at her sister, “I’ve always felt so guilty, if it weren’t for , you definitely could have married into the i family.”
Hearing this, Ye iyun’s face imdiately darkened, and then with a forced laugh, she stood up: “Grandma, Mom, I’ve got to go, I have so errands. I’ll visit another day.”
“iru, why must you always bring up the wrong topic?” After seeing off her older daughter, Qiang Yuxian reproached her younger daughter, “You know exactly what your sister feels like; why bring that up?”
