“You also said it was back then,” Yi Mao didn’t want to bring up An Muheng’s fiancée. He smiled and said, “Now we have Miss Ye as well.”
After speaking, he secretly glanced at Yun Mu.
He noticed that the other man had slightly lowered his eyes, looking very indifferent, so he swallowed the rest of his words.
——
Ye Shaohua didn’t care that they had found out she could refine pills.
Not only that.
She had also discovered a few people who had the potential for pill refining.
“Shaohua, I’m really sorry. Back then, Grandpa didn’t know, and then An Yuan divorced you.” At the Wei family home, Grandpa Xu had come specifically to apologize to her. “I’ve already talked to him. If you’re willing to remarry, I can still…”
Knowing Grandpa Xu had arrived, Ye Shaohua’s mother immediately called her back home.
Hearing Grandpa Xu’s words, Ye Shaohua smiled and said, “It’s not your fault. Besides, I was too impulsive back then. I’ve thought it through now, Grandpa Xu. He and I aren’t a good fit.”
Seeing Ye Shaohua like this, Grandpa Xu couldn’t help but sigh.
Before coming to the Ye family, he had already scolded Xu Anyuan. But this time, for some reason, Xu Anyuan was adamant that he wouldn’t remarry.
He also said that he and Ye Shaohua were from different worlds.
This marriage had been pushed forward by Grandpa Xu himself back then, which was why he hadn’t had the face to see Ye Shaohua for many days.
“Our An Yuan just doesn’t have the good fortune,” Grandpa Xu said, patting Ye Shaohua’s head gently, looking at her with hopeful eyes. “Will you still come to see me in the future?”
Ye Shaohua nodded. “Of course. I’ll come to visit you whenever I have time.”
Hearing Ye Shaohua say this, Grandpa Xu sighed.
The Wei family invited him to stay for a meal, but Grandpa Xu declined.
After he left, Ye Shaohua’s mother frowned at her. “Shaohua, have you lost your mind? Old Master Xu suggested you two remarry, and you wouldn’t agree? At your age, if you don’t marry Xu Anyuan, who else can you marry?”
Wei Ruya stood by, enjoying the drama. “You’ve even quit your job, Ye Shaohua. You’re not planning to mooch off the Wei family, are you? Let me tell you, the Wei family doesn’t support freeloaders.”
Ye Shaohua glanced at her. “How I live is none of your business. At least it’s better than someone who graduated from university a year ago and still stays at home playing games all day.”
This hit Wei Ruya’s sore spot.
Her face darkened the moment Ye Shaohua said that.
Ye Shaohua’s mother immediately stepped in front of Wei Ruya, looking displeased at her daughter. “Shaohua, I’ve told you, your sister has a heart condition; she simply can’t go out to work. You’re older than her, can’t you avoid upsetting her? Your situation isn’t the same as hers. Also, come with me to a matchmaking meeting this afternoon. The son of your mother’s old friend is perfect for you.”
Although Wei Ruya wasn’t her biological daughter, since marrying into the Wei family, Ye Shaohua’s mother had treated her as her own.
Usually, afraid that outsiders would accuse her of coveting the Wei family’s wealth, she was always very good to the two Wei children.
Especially in the past month, Ye Shaohua, who had always listened to her, had started to disobey.
Moreover, Wei Ruya had learned many things since childhood and was the epitome of an elegant young lady.
Ye Shaohua, a girl raised in the countryside, was no match for her. Ye Shaohua’s mother didn’t want to be called a wicked stepmother, so she always made Ye Shaohua give in to Wei Ruya. Consequently, she ended up favoring Wei Ruya even more.
“What’s all the yelling about?” Wei Zhengxuan came downstairs, putting on his glasses as he coldly looked at Wei Ruya. “Was Shaohua wrong? You’re twenty-four too, yet you stay home every day playing the idle rich. If you’re going to be a lady of leisure, then do it properly. Xu Tianjiao also has a heart condition, yet she goes to work just fine every day. What makes you so special, so much more delicate than everyone else?”
It was only after that day that he found out Xu Tianjiao had always had a heart condition.
No wonder Ye Shaohua had always been protective of her.
“Brother? Why are you defending her? No matter how useless I am, I’m still way better than her! At least my fiancé didn’t run off chasing another woman in public, and I haven’t been divorced!” Hearing Wei Zhengxuan speak like that, Wei Ruya looked at him as if he were an imposter!
Wei Zhengxuan looked sternly at Wei Ruya. “Looks like Father needs to discipline you properly.”
Comparing herself to Ye Shaohua?
She had some nerve saying that.
In the entire Dragon Group, no one but Yun Mu dared to say they were smarter than Ye Shaohua.
“Shaohua, let’s go.” Wei Zhengxuan turned to look at Ye Shaohua, his tone much gentler.
Ye Shaohua’s mother was stunned by Wei Zhengxuan’s attitude.
She had been in the Wei family for so long, and this heir had always been the hardest for her to figure out. Even with Wei Ruya’s father, he was usually quite cold, as if isolating himself from the rest of the Wei family.
Apart from Wei Ruya, Wei Zhengxuan was indifferent to everyone in the household.
Ye Shaohua’s mother had initially tried to curry favor with Wei Zhengxuan, wanting his approval, but didn’t know where to start.
But today, unexpectedly, Wei Zhengxuan was smiling warmly at her own daughter.
She stood there for a long while, completely dumbfounded.
Suddenly remembering something, she tried to call Ye Shaohua back. “Wait, where are you going? This afternoon’s matchmaking!”
Ye Shaohua walked out the door with Wei Zhengxuan, ignoring her mother.
“I recall your ability is fire, right?” Ye Shaohua looked at Wei Zhengxuan, stroking her chin thoughtfully as if something occurred to her. “Come on.”
Before Wei Zhengxuan could ask, Ye Shaohua had taken him to the Dragon Group.
“What?! You want to teach me and Wei Zhengxuan how to refine pills?!” At Building A of the Dragon Group, Wu Mao stared at Ye Shaohua in disbelief.
Every time Murong Qiyue refined pills, he would exclude everyone else, even buying the herbs separately from different places.
He was so afraid someone might learn his methods.
But now… not only was Ye Shaohua not keeping it a secret from them, she actually wanted to teach two members of Group A how to refine pills?!
