In the evening, when Qiao Yuwei arrived at the Ye family's old house, the sky was dark and it started to snow again.
The living room of the mansion was brightly lit and warm as spring. As soon as Yu Wei walked in, she saw Ye Qiming's mother Zhou Nianci standing by the pillar, seemingly waiting for someone. Mrs. Ye's family, who had always been aloof and wealthy, met her. , his face became even uglier, his eyes showed undisguised disgust, and his tone was extremely unhappy, and he asked, "Why are you here?"
Yu Wei made an excuse that everyone would use, "traffic jam." In fact, the Ye family's driver came to Qiao's house to pick her up before five o'clock, but she lingered for a long time, and after Qiao Xingcheng's repeated urging I didn’t go out until next afternoon.
Mrs. Ye frowned, looked at her condescendingly, and scolded: "Why are you still disobeying me? Why don't you go to the old man's study quickly?"
Qiao Yuwei walked upstairs without being humble or arrogant, only to hear Mrs. Ye's warning words coming from behind her, "Qiao Yuwei, in front of the old man, keep your mouth shut! Otherwise -"
Threats have always been a common tactic used by Ye Qiming and his son.
Compromise is the only way she must accept.
In short, she was used to it. He didn't answer or look back. He straightened his back and went upstairs in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
After going upstairs, when she turned the corner, she saw a figure leaning on the corridor railing and smoking. In the dusk, even if he was leaning against him, he could still see that he was tall and tall.
But with just one glance, she recognized that this man was the man she met twice in the hotel last night.
who is he?
Why is he in the Ye family's old house?
Inexplicably, she felt panicked for no reason.
Hesitating, should I say hello, or should I turn a blind eye?
But although they had a relationship, in the end they didn't know each other. And he was smoking sideways and didn't seem to see her.
She silently chose the latter.
Just as she was cautiously preparing to walk away, he suddenly stood up straight and looked at her quietly, with scrutiny.
With his eyes wide open, there is no way to hide now!
Yu Wei took a breath of cold air, frowned slightly, hesitated, and said preemptively, "Why are you here?"
He flicked the ashes from his cigarette and looked at her unquestioningly, his eyes calm and distant.
Yu Wei blinked guiltily and did not dare to ask any more questions. She was about to pass through him and go to the study, but Mrs. Ye who was downstairs caught up with her and scolded her unceremoniously, "Qiao Yuwei, are you still disobedient?" What are you doing?"
Mrs. Ye soon saw the man leaning against the railing, and her expression immediately returned to the graceful and kind lady she used to be, with a smile on her face and a kind tone, "Si Yao, why don't you rest in the room for a while? "
The man's low and gentle voice sounded, and there was a perfunctory tone in his words, "I've had enough sleep, come out and have a cigarette."
Mrs. Ye gave Yu Wei a warning look and signaled her to go to the study immediately.
Yu Wei walked to the study calmly. Behind her, Mrs. Ye and the man could be heard talking intermittently.
Qiao Yuwei raised her eyebrows lightly. Anyone who could live in the Ye family and be treated so kindly by Mrs. Ye must be a relative or friend of the Ye family.
The relatives and friends of the Ye family have always been full of hostility, ridicule and contempt for her, so naturally they cannot be considered her friends.
And this man just now, who saw her in embarrassment last night, must have despised her in his heart. Thinking of this, Qiao Yuwei naturally excluded him from the circle of friends.
