There was nothing special about this sentence. It was just a common joke. Most of it was a joke. But Tangyue said it with a slightly deeper meaning, as if he was pointing at something. Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned, slowly sat down, fiddled with the chessboard, and asked: "Mr. Ye. Who made you so angry? "
Since Tangyue mentioned it, he naturally couldn't not answer. In the end, he and Tangyue were not close. But he was also an elder. Even if he and Ye Canghua didn't care about small things, it was impossible to ignore Tangyue's mood.
But unexpectedly, when Xiao Zheng asked this, he clearly felt the atmosphere in the living room stagnate. Although Mr. Ye was still calm, Ye Canghua, who was standing on the side, showed a look of displeasure.
She didn't know what happened.
"Nothing." Mr. Ye took a sip of tea and said with a Smile. "It's just that recently I was defeated by your mother-in-law in chess. I want to vent my anger on you. "
Mr. Ye was not the kind of old man who put on airs. Then, Xiao Zheng called her mother-in-law.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "It seems that I have to pay 120% of my attention. I can't let my mother-in-law lose face. "
Lord Ye laughed heartily and pointed at Xiao Zheng, "You, you. Afraid of offending her, but not afraid of offending me? "
"Women. Definitely not as generous as us men. "Xiao Zheng smiled, with a bit of pressure on his mother-in-law.
But his joke made Tangyue frown slightly. He couldn't sit still.
"Master, the tea is cold. I'll help you boil another pot. "Tangyue smiled.
Mr. Ye nodded and fought with Xiao Zheng.
As soon as Tangyue left, Ye Canghua also followed.
Just as the two turned the corner, Ye Canghua grabbed Tangyue's arm with a gloomy face: "Are you done?"
Tangyue stood there without saying anything, just glancing at Ye Canghua with a resentful look.
Ye Canghua was even angrier: "Weren't you the one who was good at fanning the flames? Why are you mute now? "
When Ye Canghua said this, Tang Yue finally had a response. "What am I fanning the flames for? Yes, who am I to you? Wasn't she just a child bride? To put it nicely, she's related to you, but to put it bluntly, she's just a maidservant that Master found for you. "
The more Tang Yue spoke, the angrier she got. She said with dissatisfaction, "All these years, I've only slept four to five hours a day. If you're not busy with your family, you're busy with your company's trivial matters. Did I have a single complaint? What am I after? "
"But look at you. As soon as Big Sis got home, you rushed up to her and expressed your stance, "Tangyue said with a sullen face. "She is smart and capable. But where are you lacking? All these years, whether it is your company or the Ye Family's business, haven't they been operating well? Did I ask you to fight with Lin Chaotian? Did I let you compete with Shang Jingtian? But you are a man, the only man in the Ye family. Can't you show some manliness and not rely on your sister for everything? "
"Do you know what the people outside say about you? How do they evaluate you? I don't even want to hear it! "Tang Yue bit her red lips, looking like she expected better from him.
"You-"
Pa!
Suddenly.
Ye Canghua, who did not say a word, suddenly slapped Tangyue's face. Her face was red and swollen. Blood seeped out of the corner of her mouth.
It could be seen how heavy the blow was.
"Enough!"
Ye Canghua's face was gloomy, she gritted her teeth and said, "My Ye Family's matters are not for you to give orders!"
With that, Ye Canghua snatched the teapot from Tangyue's hand and strode away.
Tangyue stood there in a daze. After a long time, tears rolled down her eyes as she covered her mouth and ran to the second floor.
… …
Xiao Zheng played three rounds of chess with Lord Ye. Even though he used all his strength, he was still not Lord Ye's opponent. Although he was not completely suppressed. But at the last moment, he would always be tricked by Lord Ye. And then he was gradually defeated.
"Hahaha, I won again." I won again. "Mr. Ye laughed heartily. He picked up the cigarettes on the tea table and took out two. "Come, let's have some fun."
Lord Ye also knew that Xiao Zheng was ordered to quit smoking by Old Lin. But at Lord Ye's residence, there were not so many rules. Even if Old Lin was here, he probably would not say anything.
Xiao Zheng did not argue, he took the cigarette and personally lit it for Lord Ye.
"Come, accompany me to the yard for some fresh air. It's too stuffy in the room. "Lord Ye smiled and patted Xiao Zheng's shoulder.
"Mhmm." Xiao Zheng nodded and followed.
It was early winter. The weather in Yanjing was dry and cold. As a southerner, although the old man had lived in Yanjing for most of his life. He still could not fully adapt to it.
Whenever he had time, he would go to the yard for some fresh air, he did not want to stay in the room with the heater turned on.
After accompanying Lord Ye for two rounds, seeing that he did not say much, Xiao Zheng took the initiative to ask, "Did something happen at home?"
Lord Ye heard this and looked at Xiao Zheng with a smile, "You can tell?"
"I couldn't tell." Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled. "I just feel that this visit is different from usual."
Lord Ye smiled and led Xiao Zheng to sit in the pavilion. He joked, "What you said just now has completely offended Xiao Yue."
"…" Xiao Zheng was speechless. "Looks like I have to talk less at the dinner table."
Lord Ye waved his hand and said, "Say what you want to say. There is no place for women to talk at the dinner table. Don't spoil her too much. I think she is becoming more and more like her mother these few years. "
Xiao Zheng shrunk his neck. Lord Ye was brave enough to scold the two most intimidating women in the Ye family. Xiao Zheng did not have the courage to do so. He smiled bitterly and said, "She has changed a lot. At least I can't find anything wrong with it. "
Lord Ye looked deeply at Xiao Zheng and said with a smile, "In my opinion, the only man who can stand my precious granddaughter is you."
After a pause, Lord Ye did not continue on this topic. Instead, he returned to Xiao Zheng's question, "There is indeed a small conflict in our family. Someone is throwing a tantrum. "
Xiao Zheng smiled and did not dare to answer.
Who was throwing a tantrum?
There were only a few people in the Ye residence. Ye Canghua and Tang Yue's behavior was a bit abnormal. As for his mother-in-law, Xiao Zheng firmly believed that his mother-in-law, who had experienced great storms, would not throw a tantrum. At least not at home.
Lord Ye did not continue the conversation. But after he brought it up, Xiao Zheng also basically understood the inside story. In addition, Lord Ye mentioned that he had offended Tang Yue. She was probably throwing a tantrum, right?
In Xiao Zheng's impression, Tang Yue was a smart and capable woman who was also very virtuous at home. Why would she throw a tantrum at this juncture?
After thinking about it, there was only one reason.
His mother-in-law was back.
And what ultimately caused Tang Yue to throw a tantrum was probably Ye Canghua's recent performance and attitude?
That's right.
Which woman did not want her man to be good? Who could bear to see her man lower his status? Not even relatives.
