At that moment, all the guests from every corner of the room were flabbergasted.
"Thick-skinned" wouldn't be enough to describe this mother and daughter pair.
"Auntie, you don't have to be angry." Ye Wanwan laughed. "Actually, the house that my parents gifted to you isn't big, so even if the three of you moved out, it's still quite small for the four of us. Since this is the case... on behalf of my parents, I'll gift the entire house to your family."
Ye Wanwan then looked at Ye Shao Ting and Liang Wan Jun and said, "Dad, mom... Auntie has a family of three; it's not easy for her. If we really made her move out, I'm afraid they'll be homeless and if outsiders hear about it, they'll think we're heartless..."
A bunch of keys suddenly appeared in Ye Wanwan's hands.
"Dad, mom..."
Ye Wanwan placed the keys lightly in front of the both of them.
The keys were dark purple and were about the length of a finger. On top of each of them were the engraved words "Golden Seas".
"A house at Golden Seas?!"
Seeing those keys, Fang Xiu Min and Liang s.h.i.+ Han were completely dumbfounded.
Golden Seas was one of the most luxurious villas in Imperial City. Today, it was high-valued but there was no property for sale now--even if you had the money, you couldn't purchase it.
"This... how is it possible!"
Fang Xiu Min was in complete disbelief-- isn't Ye Shao Ting's property at Golden Seas already foreclosed by the Court?
Even if it was taken back, that's an exorbitant amount. How could Ye Wanwan even have the ability to afford it?
Liang Wan Jun took the keys in a daze as she and her husband turned to look at each other, completely confused. Even Ye Mu Fan's eyes were filled with shock.
Ye Wanwan's long hair fell casually on her back, and her gaze swept across Liang s.h.i.+ Han's family with a sense of mockery as she said, "So, uncle and auntie, the three of you can have that house for yourselves. I'm afraid that my parents won't be used to living in that kind of place."
In other words, the house they treated like a precious gem wasn't suited for her parents to live in at all; that house was simply given to them because they didn't like it.
Fang Xiu Min gritted her teeth in anger and couldn't get any words out.
At this moment, Ye Shao Ting looked at Ye Wanwan with a complex look. Is this person truly my arrogant and despotic daughter from my memory...?
Deep in Ye Shao Ting's mind, the two figures simply couldn't be reconciled, and he felt that they were two totally different people--from her look today down to her att.i.tude and actions, there was just too big a contrast.
"Ye Wanwan, so what if you have a villa at Golden Seas? Who knows how you even obtained that property?! Such a young age, yet you don't even have a proper job and still haven't graduated from high school and were even expelled-- you're just a piece of sc.u.m in this society!" Liang s.h.i.+ Han pointed at Ye Wanwan and sneered viciously.
She heard news that the school expelled Ye Wanwan long ago and wasn't sure what this woman was doing outside now.
Ye Wanwan didn't even look at Liang s.h.i.+ Han, nor did she even have the slightest desire to respond.
"s.h.i.+ Han, you'll be entering Imperial Media University soon and will be one of the elite pillars of society, so don't you waste your breath debating with this useless sc.u.m!" Fang Xiu Min sneered.
"Imperial Media? It's at the peak of the pyramid in the media profession... it's highly revered..."
All the guests seemed doubtful as many of them sized up Liang s.h.i.+ Han.
"Being able to enter Imperial Media at this age, her future will be bright and limitless."
"Many media experts couldn't enter Imperial Media even if they wanted to!"
Imperial Media University was said to be the most stringent in their enrolment in all of Imperial City. Although there weren't many who were accepted in each round, those who walked out of there became the elites of the media world.
Hearing the surrounding discussions, a proud smile replaced the gloominess on Fang Xiu Min's face instantly as she looked condescendingly at Ye Wanwan.

"s.h.i.+ Han, let's go congratulate the old man!"
When she considered how her daughter had been admitted to Imperial Media, Fang Xiu Min became arrogant once again. She stood up and hauled Liang s.h.i.+ Han towards the main seats at the front.
Following the arrival of Liang s.h.i.+ Han and Fang Xiu Min at the main table, a group of elders turned to them.
"Grandpa, I want to wish you a healthy, long and enjoyable life!" Liang s.h.i.+ Han looked at the elderly man with an obedient smile.
Ye Hong Wei didn't move at all. He was extremely composed and although he looked a little old, he still had the dignified manner of a lion.
After some time, Ye Hong Wei nodded, indicating his appreciation.
"s.h.i.+ Han," Fang Xiu Min gestured to a white-haired old man wearing gla.s.ses seated next to Ye Hong Wei, "this is a guest professor at Imperial Media, professor Li Yue. Hurry and greet him!"
Not long from now, Liang s.h.i.+ Han would be entering Imperial Media University, so Liang Xiu Min naturally wanted to take this opportunity to introduce her to professor Li Yue.
"How are you, grandpa Li!" Liang s.h.i.+ Han asked in her sweetest voice.
Hearing that, Li Yue smiled and replied, "Liang s.h.i.+ Han, right? I know that for this batch of students, you must be quite outstanding to enter Imperial Media at your age. You have to put in much more effort in the future, alright?"
"Thank you for your praise, grandpa Li. I will work hard for sure." Liang s.h.i.+ Han nodded obediently.
Fang Xiu Min was about to speak when a gentle voice interrupted her from behind.
"Grandpa, I wish you longevity and happiness."
Ye Wanwan was donned in an appropriate evening gown and her actions were extremely elegant.
Seeing Ye Wanwan, Ye Hong Wei's brows furrowed instantly.
Ye Hong Wei didn't have a good impression of this granddaughter of his. In the past few years, Ye Wanwan barged into the old residence of the Ye family and made a huge racket countless times. Each time, Ye Hong Wei's impression of this girl worsened and today, he didn't want to see her at all.
"En."
Ye Hong Wei's tone had an obvious hint of coldness.
Noticing the old man's att.i.tude towards Ye Wanwan, Liang s.h.i.+ Han had a complete lack of apprehension as she shot a glance over at Ye Wanwan. "My mother and I still have some things we want to discuss with grandpa and professor Li Yue, so please leave us for a moment."
Without waiting for Ye Wanwan's response, professor Li Yue suddenly stood up, narrowed his eyes and wiped his gla.s.ses with his fingers, taking a good look at Ye Wanwan.
"Which school did you graduate from?" Professor Li Yue asked.
"Mr. Li, I'm afraid you'll think it's a joke if I told you--Ye Wanwan got expelled by the school even before she graduated high school." Fang Xiu Min gave Ye Wanwan a sideways glance and sneered before Ye Wanwan replied.
"Ye Wanwan?" At that moment, professor Li Yue's face was blank and a hint of bewilderment flashed in his eyes. "You're a student from Qing He!"
Upon seeing professor Li Yue's reaction, Ye Hong Wei's face turned ugly. Everyone at this table was an important guest. Could it be that this Ye Wanwan had been so disgraceful that even professor Li Yue knew about it...
With that thought, Ye Hong Wei gave Ye Wanwan an even more critical gaze.
Ye Wanwan looked at professor Li Yue and nodded slightly. "Yes, I am."
"No wonder I thought you looked quite familiar," professor Li Yue said excitedly and revealed a touch of warmth in his eyes.
Professor Li Yue looked at Ye Hong Wei, whose expression was completely frozen, and said with excitement in his eyes.
"Old man, this granddaughter of yours is outstanding!"
Hearing professor Li Yue's words, everyone in the room was stunned and didn't understand what he meant by that.
Both mother and daughter, Fang Xiu Min and Liang s.h.i.+ Han, looked at each other, in total confusion and bewilderment.
Ye Hong Wei was taken aback, and he asked casually, "What do you mean?"
