Ye Erruo reached for her bag and went to take a seat in the living room.

“Beg me.” She regarded the other young lady with a contemptuous look.

“Such impudence! Who do you think you are?” Old Master Su admonished her.

This wild la.s.s wants my precious granddaughter to grovel and beg her? Over my dead body!

“Mo Jiangye's wife.”

“YOU!”

She went all out this time, shooting back at him immediately, “Well, I have no parents, money, educational background, or even any ability. All I can do is rely on my husband for a living. I do find myself pretty useless as well.”

“Xiao Ruo, quickly call Xiao Ye and explain to him that it's all a misunderstanding.”

“Explain? What's there to explain? Am I supposed to explain to him how you guys don't see me as his wife, you ganged up to bully me, and you even refuse to let me leave?”

Su Qingning's face flushed with anger. “I knew it! You've been badmouthing me in front of Brother Jiangye. That's why he's been ignoring me lately.”

A chuckle escaped Ye Erruo. “Duh! Beg me then. Beg this uncultured, short-lived orphan, or I'll continue talking trash about you in front of him every day!”

“Grandpa!”

“Hand over your phone now and I'll contact him myself. Otherwise, you can forget about stepping past this doorway.”

She remained indifferent. “That's fine. I can stay here for as long as a year. I'll just wait for my hubby to come and fetch me home.”

“You shameless lowlife!” gritted Old Master Su, his voice quivering with fury.

“I'm sorry, but this shameless lowlife has now changed her mind about inviting you to her wedding.”

“Y-You…”

“Open the door and let her leave!” ordered Old Master Lin.

The door slowly creaked open.

“I'm not going to leave.” As she spoke, she shot a death glare in Su Qing Ning's direction.

“Very well! I want to see how a mere woman can make Xiao Ye deal with my family and what he plans to do with us!”

Old Master Lin berated her. “Don't you go overboard, Xiao Ruo.”

Overboard? In what way have I gone overboard? This pair of grandfather and granddaughter have been hurling insults at me and my parents the entire time I have been here. What have I done so wrong?

“Isn't Xiao Ye currently abroad? I'd like to see just what is more important—his business deals or this woman?” The other elderly man persisted stubbornly.

“He'll be back tonight.” Ye Erruo informed them lightly.

“Grandpa, please get her to leave! I don't want Brother Jiangye to think that we're making things difficult for his wife.”

I'll be a bad woman in his eyes if that happens.

“Don't you want to see your beloved Brother Jiangye?”

“I…”

A surrept.i.tious look crept up on her face as she eyed the duo. “Don't you want to meet Mo Jiangye?”

“I know what you're playing at. You want to mislead Brother Jiangye into thinking that I'm making things difficult for you.”

Su Qing Ning cast a look at the servants standing aside. “Kick her out.”

“Uh…” The servants, who felt caught in the middle, exchanged helpless glances with one another.

“Why are you still standing around? Kick her out of the house now!”

Ye Erruo proceeded to pick up the pair of pruning shears that had been left aside on the table and make a light slit on her finger with it. The cut did not bleed, however.

“According to my hubby, I'm supposed to leave this place unscathed.”

“You want to frame us? Dream on! There's no lack of surveillance cameras here! We can expose your lies at any time!”

In response, she lazily drawled, “Let's see who my husband will believe then? The surveillance footage or my word?”

“How important do you think you are to him? He'll dump you the very moment he sees your true colors!”

I, Ye Erruo, shall go all out today and show this shameless woman clearly who exactly Mo Jiangye belongs to!
