That smile on Yue Tingfeng’s face froze for a second. Was she taking a dig at him?

He shamelessly replied, “Don’t worry, that jerk will apologize to you when he gets back.”

Yan Qingsi rolled her eyes. “Apologize? I’m not interested at all. Unless you kiss me…”

Mrs. Yue was on high alert listening to their conversation. When she heard what Yan Qingsi said, she immediately interrupted. “Hey, little slut, this is Miss Helen’s coming-of-age ceremony, don’t you go looking for trouble here. It’s bad enough that you’re making a ruckus at home, don’t you make a ruckus out here too.”

Mrs. Yue barely finished her sentence when Yue Tingfeng lifted Yan Qingsi’s chin and planted a kiss on her face. “Be good now, don’t be angry.”

Mrs. Yue pointed at them, exclaiming, “Very good! Both of you are ganging up on me.”

Yan Qingsi hugged Mrs. Yue’s arms. “That’s not true aunty, look at us, we’re so in love. You should be happy, who knows you might get grandchildren soon.”

Mrs. Yue harrumphed and looked away but she obviously did not retract her arm from Yan Qingsi’s hug.

The three of them looked like a happy family. Yan Ruke was left standing there alone like a fool, nobody looked at her nor did anyone took notice of her.

The jealousy in Yan Ruke was burning fiercely, everything Yan Qingsi was having should have been hers.

Yue Tingfeng should have been hers, she should also be the one Mrs. Yue was treating nicely. Everything had been taken away from her by Yan Qingsi.

Seeing Yan Qingsi’s interaction with Mrs. Yue, Yan Ruke realized that the kindness Mrs. Yue used to show to her was very distant, unlike how she acted around Yan Qingsi. Even though she looked annoyed with Yan Qingsi, there was not a hint of complaint in her eyes.

Yan Ruke suddenly felt the precariousness of her situation. It felt like she was about to lose everything.

She swore to herself she was going to turn this around no matter what.

Holding back her intense hatred for Yan Qingsi, Yan Ruke forced a smile. “Qingsi, are you still mad at our family? You’ve been back for so long but you never went back home, everyone misses you dearly.”

Only now did Yan Qingsi turn to look at Yan Ruke, giving her a once-over. Indifferently she smiled and said, “Oh my aunt is here too. I’m so sorry I didn’t notice you. You can’t blame me too, you know, you look so different compared to three years ago. Look at those wrinkles, you look even older than Aunty here. When we stand together, people who don’t know us might even think we’re mother and daughter!”

Yue Tingfeng laughed remorselessly. “She said you look young, mum.”

Mrs. Yue obviously knew this was an argument between the Yan family but still, she tried to hold back her laughter while glaring at Yue Tingfeng. “Of course I know I look young, I don’t need you to tell me that.”

Yan Ruke’s face paled further. From what Mrs. Yue said, she was obviously standing on Yan Qingsi’s side of the fence too.

Yan Ruke calmed herself down and smile compassionately. “Whatever happened so many years ago, you can’t blame your dad. He… was just looking out for me. Anyway, however serious our misunderstanding was, we’re still family, right? Listen to me, come home tomorrow.”

Yan Ruke sounded like a calming and caring adult, it felt like she was able to forgive every mistake Yan Qingsi had ever made.

Yan Qingsi flashed a bright smile at her. “Whatever happened so many years ago? You mean, the one where I seduced your man and you caught me having sex with him?

Ignoring Mrs. Yue’s astonished look, Yan Qingsi shrugged. “If you’re talking about that incident, yes I was wrong. But I don’t plan to change, not at all. In fact, I’m going to continue doing whatever wrong I did because, my dear aunt, your man is so useful I’m using him every day. He really is very useful indeed.”
