Chapter 1088: Argument

Turning her head, she saw Ye Linlin walking in, her hair tied loosely, the bun behind her head was practically exploding, her backpack hanging casually on one shoulder, her clothes were unconventional, and there was paint smeared on the white cuffs.

As she walked, she played on her phone, her fingers jabbing at the screen rapidly, her lowered head revealing a frustrated face.

After walking in, Ye Linlin threw her backpack onto the sofa without looking up, walked straight to Ye Congzheng’s back, and kicked the leg of the chair hard, “Move.”

Ye Congzheng, jolted by her kick, bounced slightly in the chair, glanced back, said nothing, stood up, bent his knees slightly, and gently moved the chair aside.

Then he stood behind, waiting for Ye Linlin to sit down, while he pushed the chair closer with both hands on the backrest.

He then sat down in the seat reserved for Ye Linlin, right beside Ye Congjie.

Ye Congjie gave him a mild look of reproach, frowned, glanced away from him to Ye Linlin, “Can’t you at least greet us when you come in?”

Ye Linlin replied perfunctorily, “Grandpa, Grandma, I’m back.”

Su Rong tugged at the corner of her mouth, no sign of a smile in her eyes, “Good that you’re back.

Dinner will be ready soon.

Why don’t you wash your hands first?”

Ye Linlin didn’t move, her back leaning against the chair, sliding down until she was slumped, unwilling to put her phone down.

Ye Junliang shouted angrily, “Look at the state you’re in, all flashy and covered with paint from your studio, as if you’re short of clothes to wear at home.

Who could eat looking at you sitting there like that?”

“Squeak—”

Ye Linlin suddenly stood up, the chair legs scraping with an ear-piercing sound.

Without saying a word, she went upstairs to her room.

Ye Junliang was momentarily stunned, then more infuriated, “What a foul temper she has, absolutely spoiled!”

Seeing the old man angry, Chen Nian tried to console him, “Third Sister, you really should do something about Linlin.

She’s almost twenty, not attending school, and always burying herself in the art studio, but still hasn’t achieved anything significant.

You need to think about her future.”

Ye Congjie calmly sipped her tea, only speaking after she swallowed, “It’s her own preference, why should I interfere?

Sister-in-law, if you have the leisure, why not focus on Xinyu instead, it’s time for her to consider marriage.”

Chen Nian nearly lost her composure, almost retorting.

Ye Xinyu also frowned.

She snorted, “I mean well, why do you have to snap at me?”

Ye Congjie replied coolly, “Everyone knows the purpose of today’s meal, just be a good guest, no need to make a fuss.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she laid bare the intentions of the old couple, and Su Rong immediately glanced at Ye Junliang, who already wore a furious expression, reprimanding, “What’s wrong with your sister-in-law saying a few words to you?

You’re indeed not teaching your daughter well, Linlin has a temper just like her father, it’s bad teaching!”

Ye Congjie snorted, “I can’t teach, perhaps someone can teach me.”

“Second Sister?”

Ye Congjie redirected the conflict toward Lin Shuyun, who had a sour expression, “Better yet, you treat your fake daughter like a treasure, while the real daughter isn’t close to you, you can’t teach either.”

Lin Shuyun glared at her with venomous eyes.

Ye Shiqing feared Lin Shuyun would ruin things, if she spoke harshly and scolded Ye Congjie, it would upset the grandparents, which would spoil everything.

Even though Aunt was divorced, she was pampered while growing up, going against her does no good.

“Mom, it’s okay, don’t argue with Aunt, Sister will be here soon.”
