My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

Chapter 233: Who Did You Say Was Ugly?! _1

Su Hongxing, exhausted and hungry, joined Ye Qilan for dinner downstairs. To her surprise, not only was the old Ye present, but also Ye Ling, a familiar face she had met at Ye Mansion before.

Of course, the leading lady, Cao Shiyu, was also present.

“Fourth Brother, it’s not good manners to keep Grandfather waiting for dinner,” said Ye Ling, her eyes lingering on Su Hongxing with thinly-veiled mockery and scorn.

Due to the presence of the old Ye, she restrained herself from saying something harsher.

“Eat!” The old Ye gave a command, and everyone started eating in unison.

In front of all these people, Su Hongxing had an excellent appetite. Coupled with the exercise she had done earlier, her energy consumption was high, so she ate several bowls of rice.

Everyone watched her, even the old Ye couldn’t help but look a few extra times.

“Ye Ling, look at Hongxing, this is how one should eat,” the old Ye’s subsequent remarks made Ye Ling’s face turn sour.

To maintain her figure, she always ate sparingly at dinner.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but retort, “If I ate like her, wouldn’t I become as ugly and stupid as her?!”

“Ye Ling, who are you calling ugly?!” Ye Qilan scanned Ye Ling with cold eyes. “Take a look at yourself, just like a skinny monkey, so ugly it’s revolting, yet you still have the audacity to criticize others!”

Ye Ling’s face turned pale, “Fourth Brother, I am your sister, how could you support this ugly woman…”

Under the menacing stare of Ye Qilan, Ye Ling’s voice tailed off; she didn’t dare to be impudent any longer.

Of all the people in the Ye Family, apart from the old Ye, she was most afraid of Ye Qilan. When he got angry, he would disregard all the ties of kinship, just as difficult to deal with as King Yama.

After a quick dinner, Su Hongxing put down her chopsticks, courteously gave the old Ye a smile, “I’m full now, please enjoy your meal.”

In her opinion, she could offend anyone, but not this old Ye. He was the supposed leader of the Ye Family. Even the powerful Ye Qilan often had to act according to the old Ye’s wishes.

Seeing Su Hongxing’s lovely smile, the old Ye couldn’t help but relax his expression. This girl was indeed likeable, polite, modest and not overbearing, not at all like Ye Ling’s spoiled and willful behavior.

Given that she was an orphan, it was admirable that she had been raised so well.

The old Ye didn’t initially have a strong impression of Su Hongxing, finding her unremarkable, but now, he believed that appearances can be deceiving.

The old Ye didn’t stay at the villa that night. Before leaving, he called Su Hongxing out, saying he would walk her out.

Su Hongxing agreed happily and accompanied the old Ye out of the living room.

When they reached the garage, Su Hongxing stepped forward to open the car door. The old Ye looked at her approvingly. This child acted with maturity and steadiness, which he found very appealing.

However, it was a pity that her social status was not up to par, or else she would be a good match for Fourth Brother.

“Child, Fourth Brother’s marriage to Shiyu is set and will not change. I know that you have been forced to follow him around without any status. It’s his nature to act impulsively. It’s our fault for indulging him. If you have any difficulties in the future, or other plans, and need my help, feel free to reach out to me. This is my personal number.”

The old Ye recited a string of phone numbers to Su Hongxing, who memorized them and returned a smile to the old Ye, “Grandfather Ye is a good man.”

A far better man than Ye Qilan.

The old Ye sighed, “How many of those in power are genuinely good people? We have all done a thing or two that we’re not proud of.”

It had been many years since anyone had called him a “good man.”
