Defrosting The Cold Young Master

Chapter 485: Chapter 486: Definitely the Beauty that Conquers the World!

Qiao Zui looked at Ye Xingbei, frustratedly saying, “Aunt-in-law, I found out the truth yesterday and went to my sister. I told her everything I knew, but she didn’t believe me.”

“She said she knows the surrogate woman, she said that the child in that woman’s womb belongs to Zhang Heyuan’s cousin.”

Ye Xingbei frowned, “Does she trust that man so much?”

“Believing in Zhang Heyuan is one reason, and not daring to admit the truth is another,” sighed Qiao Zui. “To marry Zhang Heyuan, she severed ties with our family, turning away from everyone. She has to prove that she had made the right decision by living a good and happy life.”

“If it turns out Zhang Heyuan is really hiding this from her, and a surrogate is carrying his child, doesn’t it prove that her choice was wrong? Where would her dignity be?”

Ye Xingbei said, “But pretending to be ignorant is not a solution! Once the child is born, and Zhang Heyuan’s cousin comes up with some excuse, saying he won’t be able to raise the child and asking them for help, won’t Qiao Yi end up raising Zhang Heyuan’s child?”

Qiao Zui sneered, “I think that’s exactly what the Zhang Family is planning.”

“Despicable!” Ye Xingbei spat out the word, then asked Qiao Zui, “So what do you want me to do?”

Qiao Zui said, “Aunt-in-law, my relationship with my sister has been strained to the point that she resists anything I say. So, I would like for you to talk to her.”

“Me?” just the thought of having to be addressed as “aunt-in-law” by Qiao Yi, who is several years older than her, gave Ye Xingbei a headache.

People unfamiliar with the situation might assume she’s an old witch or has had plastic surgery or something!

Qiao Zui pleaded sincerely, “Aunt-in-law, please! There is a saying, ‘You can’t wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.’ If I were to go talk to her, she would just pretend not to know for the sake of her pride. While she may be annoying, she is still my sister. I can’t ignore her.”

Ye Xingbei pondered for a moment, “Alright, I can help you, but I have one condition.”

Qiao Zui immediately sat up straight, “Aunt-in-law, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!”

Ye Xingbei slightly twitched, “It’s not that serious! We are just making a small deal. I’ll persuade Qiao Yi for you, but in return, stop calling me ‘aunt-in-law’. You can call me Asterism, Director Ye, or even by my full name. Anything but ‘aunt-in-law’.”

“That won’t work! I won’t dare; I’m afraid of my uncle!” Qiao Zui shook his head with a pitiful expression, “Aunt-in-law, for the sake of us being parentless children, please don’t make it hard for me! I beg you, please help me!”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

So, is having thick skin the Gu Family’s way of doing things?

While having a beautiful student like Xiao Qiao show her charms was pleasing to the eyes, Ye Xingbei felt goosebumps all over when flattered by a man who was even older than her.

She made a stop sign with her hand, “You win! I will help you!”

She was beginning to understand how the world worked.

Just like the old saying, the thick-skinned are fearless.

Her thin skin made her an easy target for both her nephew and brother-in-law from the Gu Family.

The pitiful expression on Qiao Zui’s face instantly turned into a beaming smile, “Aunt-in-law, I knew it! Anyone who can conquer my uncle is certainly not ordinary! If nothing else, the beauty of your heart must conquer the world!”
