“It really is wild out there, completely disregarding etiquette. Even if they were to come back, it’s unlikely that they would win the favor of Madam Nie and the family head.
Nie Linglong, with an elegant and poised demeanor, spoke up, ‘Sister Wu, the steward is also working for the greater good, without fault. If Sister Wu is unhappy, you can impose some punishment, there’s no need to be so angry.’
Ye Wanyan glanced at Nie Linglong with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, ‘Who said I wanted to dismiss him just because of this?’
Nie Linglong hesitated, ‘Well…’
Ye Wanyan laughed, ‘Because I don’t like him.’
Nie Linglong was taken aback for a moment, her expression slightly angered, but she quickly concealed her emotions and looked towards the family head and Madam Nie, ‘Father, Mother, Steward Li has been diligent and faultless since coming to the Nie family. It might not be appropriate to dismiss him like this…’
The Nie family head, while serving food for Ye Wanyan, casually said, ‘Since Wuyou doesn’t like him, then let’s replace him. It’s not a big deal.’
Madam Nie then turned to the young steward and said, ‘Go settle the accounts with the finance department.’
The young steward, astonished that he was being dismissed so abruptly, looked at Nie Linglong for help.
Nie Linglong’s pupils slightly contracted. Even when dealing with that impostor in the past, the family head and Madam Nie had shown restraint. But facing Nie Wuyou, they seemed to have lost all principles, which was almost inconceivable.
In this situation, she realized that speaking up might be futile and could only provoke the family head and Madam Nie’s displeasure.
The incident quickly ended, and despite Nie Linglong’s plea, the young steward was dismissed.
Madam Nie then said to Ye Wanyan, ‘Wuyou, don’t be angry. Since you don’t like this one, Mother will find a group of people and you can choose one you like.’
Ye Wanyan happily hugged Madam Nie’s arm and thanked her, ‘Thank you, Mother!’
While Ye Wanyan’s actions were somewhat theatrical, the genuine affection for her biological mother was evident.
If she could handle Sir Ye Han, couldn’t she win the hearts of her parents?
This was the first time Ye Wanyan had called her ‘Mother,’ and it was so intimate. Madam Nie was delighted, ‘Silly child, you don’t need to thank your mother. Just tell me if there’s anything you want in the future, ah!’
Ye Wanyan replied, ‘Yes, yes, I understand, Mother.’
Even the stern Nie family head couldn’t help but chip in, ‘If you’re ever bullied outside, come tell Daddy. I’ll back you up.’
Sitting nearby, Nie Wuming, who only had a plate of vegetables in front of him, said, ‘I’m full, goodbye.’
Can this meal still be eaten? Is this even possible!
The Nie family head commanded, ‘Sit down! Your sister finally came back, and you still want to wander off!’
Nie Wuming: ‘…’
This is domestic abuse! Blatant domestic abuse!
…
Due to her parents’ excessive warmth, Ye Wanyan had been busy and couldn’t catch a break. She even had to spend time with her precious sibling at night.
It wasn’t until the next morning that Ye Wanyan hurriedly made her way to Asura.
To her surprise, she didn’t see Sir Ye Han, but instead encountered Jiang Yan, who always seemed to clash with her.
Perhaps Sir Ye Han knew about their disagreements, as recently he had Lin Que accompany him most of the time, while Jiang Yan stayed at headquarters.”
