My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again-Chapter 553: Performing a Fierce Drama_1
Chapter 553 -553: Performing a Fierce Drama_1
“Of course, I will listen to my grandfather’s opinion on important matters. But when it comes to matters of the heart, I’d rather make my own decisions. After all, my woman will be with me for a lifetime.” Ye Shiqing said, putting his arm around Qiao Qiao’s slim waist, right in front of Grandfather Ye and Ye Xiandong.
Qiao Qiao almost lost control of her facial expression when he casually pinched her waist. Was Ye Shiqing taking advantage of her?
She looked at him, and found him gazing back at her, his eyes soft as water.
Feeling a rush of heat on her face, she quickly darted her glance away, took a sip of the champagne to mask her discomfort.
Both Grandfather Ye and Ye Xiandong found it unsightly to watch the two openly flirting with each other.
Not wanting to make a scene, Grandfather Ye warned Ye Shiqing in a whisper, “You better get your act together. We’ll settle this after the banquet!”
After saying this, the old man left, giving Qiao Qiao a cold glance as he walked past.
Considering Ye Shiqing’s character, the only plausible explanation was that Qiao Qiao was the one who had seduced him. In his eyes, everything was Qiao Qiao’s fault.
Upon Grandfather Ye’s departure, Cao Shiyu couldn’t hold back and mocked Qiao Qiao: “Miss Qiao, you’re quite the dark horse. Usually you’re so quiet, but it’s always the quiet ones that bite the hardest.”
“With you as a model, Miss Cao, I’m way off the mark. You’re the epitome of a debutante, first meddling in Ye Si’s marriage, now Ye San’s. I, Qiao Qiao, might not matter much, but I’d never stoop so low as to interfere in someone else’s marriage.”
At least, the man next to her, Ye Shiqing, was currently single. So even if it was an act, it was justifiable. Unlike Cao Shiyu, who had a secret out-of-wedlock child in her belly.
Instead of getting angry, Cao Shiyu laughed: “How strange. It was Su Hongxing who couldn’t keep her man, and now you’re suffering the same fate. If you can’t keep your man in check, who’s to blame?”
Her voice held the right volume for the nearby eavesdroppers to hear every word.
Just so happened, Su Hongxing walked past and heard Cao Shiyu’s words.
Her eyes darkened slightly, and she stepped over to Cao Shiyu’s side, not bothering with niceties, and slapped her hard across the face.
This sudden turn of events shocked everyone present. Everyone had been intrigued by Qiao Qiao, Cao Shiyu, and Ye brothers’ love and hate saga. Su Hongxing abruptly stealing the spotlight added an exciting twist to the drama.
Cao Shiyu was stunned by Su Hongxing’s slap, “Su Hongxing, what gives you the right to hit me!?”
Su Hongxing smiled faintly: “That slap was for Qiao Qiao.”
After saying that, she landed another slap on Cao Shiyu’s other cheek, leaving it swollen and red, “This one is for me! Miss Cao, don’t take us all for fools.”
She had initially wanted to remain indifferent for Cao Zhen’s sake tonight, but Cao Shiyu had crossed the line.
Cao Zhen had asked her not to interfere in whatever Cao Shiyu did wrong for his sake.
But Cao Shiyu was shameless and disgraceful. If Su Hongxing didn’t intervene, she would be failing herself and Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao was still Ye Xiandong’s wife and couldn’t afford to make a public scene, but she, Su Hongxing, could.

Everyone knew that she, Su Hongxing, was ruthless. Once she even exposed her own groom’s wrongdoings. Now that she was causing a scene at Grandfather Ye’s celebration, it only made sense, right?
When Su Hongxing’s two slaps landed, the room fell silent, with everyone forgetting how to react.
Only Ye Qilan didn’t lose his composure. He took Su Hongxing’s hand and, seeing her fair palm turning crimson, felt a pang of heartache. He blew on her palm softly, cooing, “Did it hurt? You need not soil your hands on such a mean woman.”
He wished he had made her wear gloves so she wouldn’t have hurt her delicate hands.
Humiliated in public by Su Hongxing, and with Ye Qilan’s full attention on Su Hongxing while Ye Xiandong was focused on Qiao Qiao, Cao Shiyu felt like the whole world had abandoned her.
A few seconds of silence passed before the buzz of conversation started back up at the banquet, with everyone pointing fingers at Cao Shiyu.
Tears streaming down her face, Cao Shiyu hid herself in Ye Xiandong’s arms.
This only further confirmed the intimate relationship between her and Ye Xiandong…
