Chapter 2105: A Noblewoman? Bah!
She was so narrow-minded. If her surname wasn’t Du, who would care about her?!
Ye Ying continued to pretend that she didn’t understand Jiayi’s sarcasm. She maintained her sweet smile and said, “No, no. I’m already very satisfied to be able to attend your birthday party. I really don’t have to trouble you to introduce friends to me. I… I’ll take my time with this.”
Madam Li had been paying attention to their conversation the entire time. Seeing that Ye Ying was polite and answering her daughter determinedly, she nodded in satisfaction.
That was right, she didn’t just accept everything. She even knew how to counterattack when she was forced too much. It could be seen that there was strength in her gentleness. She wouldn’t be too weak and let others bully her.
Tonight’s observation was almost complete. Overall, she was satisfactory.
“Jiayi, you can be mean just because Ye Ying is docile. I’ve seen everything tonight. You’re almost crossing the line here.” Madam Li, who had let Ye Ying pass another round, finally spoke up and stopped her daughter from continuing to suppress Ye Ying.
The moment she spoke, Du Jiayi instantly became a different person. She held Ye Ying’s arm affectionately and said in relief, “Ah, I’m exhausted. Mom, don’t ask me to do such things again! I didn’t know it was so tiring to be a bad person for a day!
“Ah, that tired me out. I don’t want to be a bad person anymore!”
Ye Ying was stunned. She didn’t understand what was going on.
“I’m sorry, Ye Ying. It was all my mother’s idea tonight. It really has nothing to do with me.” Du Jiayi winked playfully and explained, “When my mother told me about it, I was put in a really difficult position. When I saw you, I almost wanted to leave.
“But there’s no choice. She’s my mother, after all. As long as my mother gives out an order in the family, it’s an imperial edict. Even my father doesn’t dare to resist. As a daughter, what can I do?”
The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. In the end, she whispered into Ye Ying’s ear and giggled. “Let me tell you a secret. My mother is quite satisfied with you. As for you, you just have to keep coaxing my mother in the future. As long as my mother is happy, the entire family will be happy!”
Ye Ying, who now understood what was going on, actually wanted to avoid Du Jiayi. Her body stiffened from the contact with Du Jiayi. The hand that was holding her arm did not make her feel the other party’s passion. Instead, she felt uncomfortable.
“Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow. Sleep early tonight and come over early tomorrow to help me receive the guests.” Du Jiayi had always been domineering and didn’t care whether or not Ye Ying wanted to come over early.
To her, it was a huge honor for the daughter of a mere police chief to come over early to help her. She could only rush over and eagerly make an appearance. How could she refuse?
Madam Li, who was also strong-headed, didn’t think that her daughter was strong. Instead, she thought that her daughter’s arrangements were good. She smiled at Ye Ying and said, “Alright, I’ll send a chauffeur to pick you up early tomorrow. There’s no need to prepare a gift. Jiayi doesn’t lack anything.
“Don’t even worry about dressing up. You can get your makeup done by Jiayi’s makeup artist. You’ll definitely look more beautiful and classier.”
They were getting a chauffeur to pick her up again tomorrow?
Ye Ying, who was unhappy with Du Jiayi’s sarcastic words, was happy again. That was right, Madam Li was in charge of the Du family. As long as she could make Madam Li happy and marry into the Li family, why would she need to be afraid of Du Jiayi?
