Chapter 213: All Reserved for My Jiaojiao

Ye Xinyu had just stepped out of the meeting room when she received a call from Lin Shuyun.

“Xinyu, are you busy?”

Ye Xinyu’s brows knitted as she walked to a quiet spot.

“Second Aunt, is something the matter?”

“Just a little thing.

You know your thoughtless sister; she’s been in a bad state lately, with all the fuss in the news.

Is there some issue with Third Master Bo?

Why hasn’t he helped out yet?”

Ye Xinyu rolled her eyes, feeling disgusted.

Luckily, she had been tied up with sudden business on the day of the wedding and hadn’t been able to attend.

No one at the company knew she was the Ye Family’s young mistress; otherwise, she would have totally lost face.

“Second Aunt, I don’t usually see Master Bo.

I can’t just promise you something like that.”

“I know you’re busy, but it’s easier for you to see Master Bo than for us.

I’m begging you as your second aunt, can you please help?”

Ye Xinyu was impatient.

“I’ll talk about it when I see Master Bo.”

Lin Shuyun was secretly grinding her teeth, knowing this girl would try to shirk her duties.

She let out a laugh, which quickly turned feeble.

“Shiqing is my only daughter, I really can’t bear to see her ruined like this.

Master Bo knows she was framed, otherwise, he wouldn’t have given her 2% of Bo’s shares.”

“2% of the shares, Bo’s?”

Ye Xinyu’s voice rose slightly.

Lin Shuyun’s lips curled up with pride, yet her tone remained sorrowful.

“Yes, given personally by Master Bo.

It’s a pity, though.

Shiqing now locks herself at home and has stopped going to school.

She doesn’t care about shares or anything else.”

Ye Xinyu’s gaze flickered.

“I understand, Second Aunt.

I’ll keep it in mind.”

“Then I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

“Mm.”

Ye Xinyu pursed her thin lips and glanced towards the elevator.

After hesitating, she turned and walked back to her office.

What about shares?

Though she was envious, she didn’t want to get involved with the second branch of the family in any way.

In the afternoon.

Pei Dongshi took Ye Shiqing to Qishan Road.

Before going in, he repeatedly instructed her: “Keep a low profile, admit your mistakes where you must.

If your master scolds you, just listen.

Don’t talk back or storm off with a sour face, understand?”

Nan Jiaojiao asked, “What if I get hit?”

Pei Dongshi swallowed and responded, “Take it.”

She chuckled lightly.

The wooden door was knocked open.

Two servants who had been sweeping the yard were startled to see the visitors.

The ground was covered in golden maple leaves.

Forgetting to greet them, they rushed inside, brooms in hand.

“They’re here, they’re here.

The young master and young lady have arrived; go tell the master!”

“Weren’t you told to be quiet?

Carrying on so loudly, where do you put the master’s dignity?”

“Oh, right, you’re correct.”

After a moment, followed the deliberate lowering of voices that still managed to be heard throughout the entire yard: “Master, your most beloved little apprentice has arrived.

Get ready, or you’ll miss your chance.”

Nan Jiaojiao burst out laughing, casting a mocking look towards Pei Dongshi.

He also felt quite embarrassed and gave a cough to cover it.

“Keep a tight grip on your skin.”

The corner of Nan Jiaojiao’s mouth spread into a wider smile.

As they approached the front yard, they could hear Jiang Yu’s voice from afar.

“Where’s the cream?

That girl can’t live without a bit of sugar in her milk tea.

What about the strawberry pudding I ordered?

And the cream pastries?

Have you all hidden them well?

I haven’t allowed them to be brought out, and nobody better steal any touches.

I’ll break the legs of anyone who dares.”

“All of that is for my Jiaojiao!”

Jiang Yu, dressed in a dark teal Cheongsam, held a smoking pipe and stood hip-shot, directing the staff around her fiercely, tapping the ground continuously with her foot while she got hands-on.

A servant whispered something in her ear, and Jiang Yu’s silhouette stiffened, not turning around.

After a while, she took a drag from the pipe.
