Chapter 1103: 1089 Reality World [54] Chen Family (3 more updates)

It was better left unsaid.

"University? Still talking about university?" Su Lan lost her temper as soon as the topic came up, slamming her chopsticks onto the table, "Ask her yourself, she doesn’t even have a diploma, and she forged her academic credentials; Ye Shaohua, did you even go to high school, I ask you?!"

The table fell silent.

Even the Ye family’s venerable old man was taken aback, but his first reaction was disbelief, "How could that be, don’t spout nonsense in front of the children."

He had seen Ye Shaohua’s handwriting not too long ago.

It wasn’t something that could be faked without considerable effort.

"I’m speaking nonsense," Su Lan scoffed, turning towards Ye Shaohua, "Ye Shaohua, you tell me, have I ever said anything of the sort?"

The gaze of the entire family turned to Ye Shaohua, especially Ye Tong.

In their eyes was the clear surprise of ’how could you not have even gone to college’.

Ye Shaohua slowly raised her head to meet Su Lan’s infuriated eyes, and said nonchalantly, "That’s right, not only did I not attend high school, in fact, I never even went to primary school."

"Didn’t even attend primary school!" Su Lan was so angry she didn’t know what to say.

"Do you find me embarrassing, so you arranged a university for me to add a touch of prestige?" Ye Shaohua seemed to be in a decent mood, "I’m not going."

"Not going? I’ve spent so much money, and you’re saying you’re not going?" Su Lan was like a keg of gunpowder that had been lit.

"Can you both stop being so annoying!" Ye Li drew back his chair with a sharp noise and gave Su Lan a cold look, "My sister is doing just fine at the company, she doesn’t need your concern! If you care about her so much, why don’t you ask yourself, why did you lose her back then? What right do you have to be angry with her?!"

"Su Lan," the elder Ye also gave Su Lan a warning look.

"Lili, you..." Su Lan never expected Ye Li to shout at her on behalf of Ye Shaohua.

Ye Tong sensed the atmosphere in the Ye family and couldn’t help but put down her chopsticks.

Ye Shaohua finished the last piece of vegetable in her bowl.

Then, she stood up leisurely, "Grandpa, I have things to do, I will not be staying at the Ye family’s house tonight."

After saying that, she nodded to everyone, pulled out her chair, and headed straight for the door.

Ye Li immediately followed her.

After Ye Shaohua left, the old man slumped back into his chair and gave Su Lan a very cold look, "From now on, you need not interfere in Shaohua’s affairs."

The elder Ye said that, but in reality, he felt uneasy.

He had thought that Ye Shaohua was doing alright after she signed her name that day, but now, learning that she hadn’t even attended primary school, he couldn’t help but feel a tightness in his chest.

Ye Shaohua had been only five years old when she was lost; the old man had no idea what she had gone through.

But having Ye Shaohua back in the Ye family for a while now, the old man had come to understand her character; she was very wary of most people, and the old man had not felt anything until this matter came up.

Now that he knew, the elder Ye couldn’t help but wonder, what exactly had happened to make her the way she was now?

Only Su Lan and Ye Tong were left at the table, as Ye Feng had a social engagement and didn’t come home for dinner.

Su Lan began to cry, feeling utterly wronged as she wiped her eyes.

She had been so worried about Ye Shaohua’s education.

Seeking connections everywhere.

She had even pleaded with a professor to accept Ye Shaohua, and luckily that professor was quite reasonable, although very surprised that she had a daughter who hadn’t even completed high school.

When Su Lan saw the look in the professor’s eyes, she felt she had never been so embarrassed in her life.

She had done so much for Ye Shaohua’s education, but Ye Shaohua was ungrateful, Ye Li yelled at her for Shaohua’s sake, and the elder Ye rebuked her.

"Mom, don’t cry," Ye Tong said softly, comforting Su Lan.

But as she looked towards the door through which Ye Shaohua had left, she let out a light laugh.

"Tongtong is always considerate," Su Lan dabbed at her tears, "You’ve been smart since you were little, and thoughtful. It’s true what they say: ’as a child, so as an adult.’ Ye Shaohua is just like when she was little."

Ye Tong smiled, "Don’t worry, Mom, take it slowly; you can’t rush things with our sister."

Su Lan scoffed, "I finally found her a school, and she rejects going to university, what else does she expect from me? It’s like she was born to be my nemesis, always wanting to see me unhappy!"

This time, Ye Tong didn’t say anything.

After a while, the butler came in, "Madam, Mrs. Chen is here."

Mrs. Chen?

Su Lan then remembered the matter: her aunt had previously tried to set up Ye Shaohua with Chen Xumin.

But then an incident had occurred and Mrs. Chen left; Su Lan felt too embarrassed to ask Mrs. Chen if she took a liking to Ye Shaohua.

With Mrs. Chen’s arrival, Su Lan quickly dried her tears, instructed the staff to clear the table and set out fruit and tea.

"Mrs. Ye, I’m sorry to visit again," Mrs. Chen came in, smiling first, "I saw Shaohua leave, is there something amiss?"

Su Lan chuckled uneasily, "It’s nothing. Mrs. Chen, what brings you here today?"

Of course, there was a reason.

After Mrs. Chen returned home, she thought it over and decided that she couldn’t agree to the marriage proposal. The Ye family might not be what it once was, but after discussing it with Mr. Chen, they concluded that if it were Ye Tong, they wouldn’t hesitate.

No matter the size of the dowry, they would happily welcome Ye Tong into the Chen family.

Both of them came from scholarly families, and they couldn’t accept someone like Ye Shaohua as their daughter-in-law. Ye Shaohua had only recently been acknowledged by the Ye family again, and judging by their demeanors, Su Lan and Ye Shaohua’s aunt didn’t seem to like Ye Shaohua very much. If anything happened to the Chen family in the future, the Ye family might not offer their help.

Besides, who knew what Ye Shaohua’s situation had been twenty years ago?
