The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 564 - Chapter 564 Chapter 563 Help Him Choose an Auspicious Day

Chapter 564: Chapter 563: Help Him Choose an Auspicious Day Chapter 564: Chapter 563: Help Him Choose an Auspicious Day Ye Qingsui’s panic was evident to everyone.

The Shen Family couple, unaware of the situation, quickly gestured to the servants to wipe the table clean with a tablecloth.

As Ye Qingsui helped pick up the teacups, he made excuses for himself, “Whenever I talk about that kid Ye Jinwen, I get so angry!

Look how pissed off I amaEUR|”

Shen Juntao and Huang Lijun suddenly understood.

“Family Head Ye, don’t be too angry, it’s not worth harming your health over.

Those in your profession always place great emphasis on health, don’t they?” Shen Juntao commented without giving it much thought.

Ye Qingsui forced a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

Only his wife, Tang Wenhui, knew what he was thinking.

With a suggestive glance, she signaled to Ye Qingsui to mind his manners.

In the moment that Ye Qingsui and Tang Wenhui locked eyes, the look between the long-married couple was complex and indifferent, but Ye Qingsui’s was tinged with more resentment.

If not for the fact that they were at the Shen Family’s residence, he surely would have flared up on the spot.

Tang Wenhui had never told him that Ye Lingxi was still alive!

And she certainly hadn’t informed him in advance that Ye Lingxi would also be present today!

This unexpected news had caused him to drop his teacup and make a fool of himself just moments ago.

Tang Wenhui forced a smile and turned her face away.

Ye Qingsui too fell silent, not pushing the issue further, as a superficial smile returned to his face.

Shen Yixin had been observing the couple’s behavior from start to finish.

She had visited the Ye Family multiple times before and had some understanding of the couple’s relationship.

Truth be told, she detested it.

She detested their facade of a marriage, their emotionally distant union.

Sometimes, while sitting in the Ye household, she would feel an unmistakable sense of suffocation and repression, even more so than when facing a boss.

During such times, she couldn’t help feeling sympathy for Ye Jinwen.

She wondered how he had grown up under such a family environment.

Out of respect for her elders, Shen Yixin took the initiative to stand up, gracefully and generously refilling Ye Qingsui’s cup with tea and water.

Tang Wenhui glanced at Shen Yixin from head to toe and said with a smile, “Xinxin is truly wonderful.”

Shen Yixin set down the Yixing teapot and smiled faintly.

Shen Yihe looked at his sister with a gentle affection in his eyes.

He had always said that his sister Yixin was the best in the world.

Kind, considerate, clear and delicate, empathetic…

In any case, she was much better than the third one.

Following Tang Wenhui’s lead, Huang Lijun added, “Mrs.

Ye, regarding the matter between Xinxin and Jinwen, children will have their quarrels.

We as parents need to think deeply.

I believe we should discuss this further!”

“Yes, we must discuss it thoroughly!” Tang Wenhui agreed.

The parents were not considering the opinions of the actual individuals involved and, once they opened up the conversation, both sides felt more at ease.

One side wished to marry, the other wished to wed; the desires of both families were perfectly aligned.

The men and women whose marriages had been arranged seemed at that moment to be nothing more than props.

Shen Yixin was concerned and wanted to say something when footsteps from outside the living room caught her attention.

Amidst the soft steps, Ye Jinwen’s voice could be heard, appeasing and attentive.

“Xi Xi, you’re wearing high heels, walk slowly!”

“Xi Xi, you should put on slippers…”

This voice was unabashed and unreserved, causing varying degrees of change in the expressions of the several elders seated in the living room.

Especially Tang Wenhui, who, upon hearing it, felt as if a flame had been ignited within her.

Her gaze turned stern and sharp as she watched the entrance.

She was indeed curious about what Ye Lingxi, whom she hadn’t seen for two years, had become.

Ya Ling didn’t change her shoes, but walked in on her fine high heels, tossing her wavy hair over her shoulders, lips painted a vivacious red.

With her striking beauty and poise, she walked in fearlessly, as if the path ahead were not a den of dragons and tigers.

Ye Jinwen followed closely behind her as she entered.

Ya Ling quickly reached the living room, and upon entering, she immediately saw six people sitting on three couches.

Directly opposite were the parents of Ye Jinwen, to the left were the parents of Shen Yixin, and to the right were the siblings Shen Yixin and Shen Yihe.

She was not at all daunted as she walked over, smiling as she did.

“Everyone’s here, hello.”

She greeted casually without intentionally looking at anyone, but for some reason, all four elders felt a twinge of discomfort.

Ye Jinwen also greeted them perfunctorily.

Shen Juntao and Huang Lijun smiled awkwardly and politely.

“Xi Xi is here, take a seat.”

Of course, Shen Juntao and Huang Lijun were aware of the past relationship between Ye Lingxi and Shen Yixin; feeling awkward and slightly guilty upon seeing Ye Lingxi again.

Tang Wenhui kept her gaze fixed on Ye Lingxi without moving, and after a brief moment of surprise, she regained her composure.

When she was not speaking or smiling, she naturally looked severe, and staring at someone like this could certainly be considered stern.

As for Ye Qingsui, the look in his eyes when he saw Ye Lingxi contained an indescribable complexity and guilt.

None of the four felt the joy of the “dead coming back to life”; in fact, they were all consciously ignoring this issue.

Ya Ling just smiled and let it pass.

Shen Yixin came over enthusiastically and happily, “Xi Xi, come sit here.”

She pulled Ya Ling over to the couch, and Shen Yihe showed good judgment, vacating the couch for the two ladies and sitting aside himself.

Ye Jinwen was constantly by Ya Ling’s side, finding a small stool to sit down next to her.

“Xi Xi’s near-death experience turned out okay; her return this time is indeed a joyful matter!” Shen Yihe said with a chuckle.

Ya Ling smiled.

Whether it was a joyful matter was really hard to say, especially since she knew that the Ye Family’s foster parents did not welcome her return.

She looked towards Ye Father and Ye Mother and said, “That’s right, the bus fell off the mountain yet I managed to come back alive, it’s indeed a stroke of luck!”

She deliberately said this.

Tang Wenhui and Ye Qingsui were both momentarily taken aback.

Ye Jinwen looked up silently at his parents, whose complexions were somewhat unnatural.

Tang Wenhui managed the situation best, and after a slight stiffness, spoke with a normal demeanor, “Xi Xi, you are also a member of the Ye Family.

We called you here today to pick an auspicious date with us to help Jinwen and Yixin marry as soon as possible.”

She spoke naturally, but also dominantly, unilaterally deciding Ye Jinwen’s marriage.

Ye Jinwen abruptly stood up.

“Mom, I’ve already made myself clear, why are you still like this?!”

Especially when his mother knew about his feelings for Xi Xi, yet she asked Xi Xi to help him choose an auspicious date.

What did this mean!

A flicker of discomfort passed through Ya Ling’s heart.

But after so much had happened, she was no longer the little girl who lived under another’s roof, excessively concerned about the attitude of her foster parents.

From the moment she was abandoned, she was no longer Ye Lingxi.

She smiled, “Sure, Mrs.

Ye.”

The way she called her Mrs.

Ye was distinctly distant, drawing a clear boundary.

Ye Jinwen’s heart felt a sudden chill.

Shen Yixin looked on with concern at the two of them.
