"Why not? I heard that your sister seems to be a genius." Qin Zhaoci couldn't understand.
Ye Lianyin shook her head: "My mother is a very powerful person. My sister has only gained a firm foothold in the company in the past few years and has the right to speak, but my mother still has the most rights to the company, so the family basically listens to her.”
"To put it bluntly, the economic foundation determines the superstructure." Qin Zhaoci also understood the reason. “Your sister never thought about starting her own business without being controlled by your mother?"
Ye Lianyin shook her head: “My sister is only interested in spacecraft design. She also graduated from Imperial Academy. When she graduated, she got full A+ grade and won the title of outstanding graduate.”
“Spacecraft design and aircraft production are basically monopolized by our family. Of course, there are other companies, but they are all struggling, so it is difficult for my sister to start a business in such an environment.”
Qin Zhaoci thought of Ye Yufeng's appearance as a feudal patriarch, and nodded with a sigh: "It seems that your mother is not only powerful at home, but also very powerful in business."
"Mm," Ye Lianyin nodded, agreeing very much with what Qin Zhaoci said, "That's why I've never had a good relationship with her."
Although Ye Lianyin didn't say much, Qin Zhaoci was able to understand the unfair treatment she had received at home all these years from the conversation she just had with Ye Yufeng.
Unconsciously, Qin Zhaoci looked at Ye Lianyin with a hint of distress that she herself did not notice.
"Then give the scallion pancakes I brought to your sister and your mom." Qin Zhaoci handed the small bag to Ye Lianyin.
Ye Lianyin opened the bag to take a look, only to find that inside is the lunch box that she saw this morning. She frowned strangely: "I remember you put this together with your two mother's gifts this morning? How come it's in your hand now?"
"I took it out when I quarreled with your mother." Qin Zhaoci raised her head confidently. ""What, I made it myself, I can give it to whoever I want, can't I?"
Looking at Qin Zhaoci's naive expression that her mother had offended her, and even forbid her to eat her food, Ye Lianyin couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Along with the action of her hooked lips, a pair of small pear swirls hanging at the corners of her lips were also sunken, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were overflowing with laughter.
It was the first time Qin Zhaoci saw Ye Lianyin laughing so heartily in front of her, she was a little stunned when she saw it, and her heart unconsciously skipped a beat.
After realizing that she was in a different mood than before, Qin Zhaoci raised her hand and patted her face to wake herself up, and then said, "What are you laughing at, I'm not wrong."
"Yes, you're not wrong." Ye Lianyin smiled and nodded, "I also think that it's a pity. When my sister comes back, I will call her and my mom to the room and secretly feed them."
Qin Zhaoci grinned a bit in disgust after hearing Ye Lianyin's plan: "You really look like an old grandma."
"What?" Ye Lianyin was confused by Qin Zhaoci's sudden change of subject.
Qin Zhaoci shrugged: "You may not know, but there are many families where grandmothers like to secretly hide snacks for their grandchildren to eat, every time they secretly pull their grandchildren to the corner, they give them snacks for them to secretly eat it, and ask them not to tell their parents."
Ye Lianyin nodded in agreement after hearing this: "My grandma seems to have done what you have mentioned, and the child who was pulled away is my sister, but my sister may be a traitor, and she would always keep half of it for me every time."
"Then you can't do what your grandma did, do you know how to anger someone?" Zhaoci sat down beside Ye Lianyin, elbowed Ye Lianyin's arm lightly, and had a bad idea with a smirk on her face.
......
"Sister, you're back?" At twelve o'clock noon, Ye Yici got home on time. When she saw her sister greet her at the door, she immediately stepped forward and gave her a hug.
Then she looked at Ye Lianyin in front of her with concern, and asked in a low voice, "Did Qin Zhaoci b*lly you?"
Ye Lianyin shook her head: "No, we get along pretty well."
"Really, don't coax me." Ye Yici had disbelief written all over her face.
"Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask mom." Ye Lianyin pointed to Song Xinchu who was being coaxed around by Qin Zhaoci on the sofa behind her.
Ye Yici looked in the direction Ye Lianyin said, and sure enough, she saw Song Xinchu, who was smiling happily and chatting with Qin Zhaoci.
But Ye Yufeng, who was sitting next to Song Xinchu, didn't look much better, staring at Qin Zhaoci who was making her wife happy with black lines all over her face.
Ye Yici couldn't help being a little curious about what Qin Zhaoci was telling her mother to make her happy like this. Thinking about it, she dragged Ye Lianyin over.
As soon as she got closer, she heard Qin Zhaoci say: "Mom, you really look too young, and dress so fashionable. At first glance, it can be clearly seen that Yinyin inherited mom's excellent genes, and even your skin is white and beautiful. If you go shopping with Yinyin, others must think you are sisters.”
"Is that so? Hahahahaha, many people really say that, that's why when I go shopping with her, I could dress more maturely." Song Xinchu laughed very happy.
Ye Yici curled her lips in disdain after hearing this, and whispered: "This Qin Zhaoci is really glib, talking about people and nonsense things when she see people."
Ye Lianyin shrugged: "She didn't lie either. After the Imperial people became adults, their appearance would not change much. They would not gradually begin to show signs of aging until they were a hundred years old. My mother is not yet that age."
Ye Yici folded her hands on her chest, frowning and looking at Ye Lianyin, her eyes were full of disbelief: "Ye Lianyin, you've only been married for not long, and you're already protecting this Qin Zhaoci? Before you married her, you vowed to resist to death. but what's going on right now?"
Ye Lianyin's expression instantly became uncomfortable, she turned her head away from Ye Yici, and retorted with a guilty tone: "What do you mean, I'm just telling the truth."
"What else, obviously...," Ye Yici wanted to continue to say something.
Ye Lianyin quickly took out the lunch box prepared by Qin Zhaoci from the bag in her hand, put it on the table, and interrupted her: "Mom, sister, these are the scallion pancakes that Qin Zhaoci made this morning, come over and try it."
"Scallion Pancake, what's that?" Ye Yici was pulled to the sofa by Ye Lianyin in a daze and sat down, watching her open the lunch box on the table, revealing the yellow-looking food inside.
"Huh~, what's that green stuff on it?" Ye Yici looked somewhat disgusted.
"It's scallions. Forget it, you will not understand even if I tell you, but you will know later." Qin Zhaoci waved her hand, "Mom, try it and see if it suits your taste."
"Okay, I think it smells delicious." Song Xinchu picked up a fork, put a piece of scallion pancake to her mouth, and opened her mouth to take a bite.
After chewing, Song Xinchu's eyes lit up. Qin Zhaoci looked at her expression, as if seeing Ye Lianyin eating her own food for the first time, and subconsciously looked at Ye Lianyin with a smile at the end of her eyes.
"Mmm, it's delicious." Everyone was paying attention to Song Xinchu's evaluation, and no one noticed Qin Zhaoci's gaze.
"The outer skin is crispy and delicious. This, Xiaoci, you said it's scallion, right? It really smells good, the more you chew it, the more fragrant it is. What is this made of? The chefs in the Empire don't even make it as good as you do."
Ye Yici watched her mother stuff another piece into her mouth, her eyes were extremely suspicious, and she was still wondering if her mother pretended it to be so delicious because she was afraid of embarrassing Qin Zhaoci.
But Ye Lianyin didn't give her a chance to think too much, seeing that she was still a bit reluctant, she said in Ye Yici's ear without saying a word: "Ah~."
Ye Yici opened her mouth subconsciously, and Ye Lianyin seized the opportunity and stuffed a piece directly into Ye Yici's mouth.
After eating all of it, Ye Yici was too embarrassed to spit it out, so she could only chew it cooperatively. After chewing a few times, her originally dignified expression relaxed, and her eyes became even more satisfied.
"How is it? Tasty, right?" Ye Lianyin's expression was a little smug, as if she made it by herself, and her tone was very proud.
"Mmmm, it's delicious." Ye Yici didn't care about having dignity anymore, after eating one piece, she forked another piece and stuffed it into her mouth.
Looking at Song Xinchu and Ye Yici eating so satisfactorily, and almost fought over for a large piece of scallion pancake, Ye Yufeng, who pretended to be calm at the side, also sat down a bit.
She raised her eyes and squinted at the last small piece left in the lunch box, and just wanted to pick up the fork on the side and taste it.
But Qin Zhaoci was one step ahead of her, and handed the last piece to Song Xinchu, saying, "Mom, you eat more if you like it, and I can make something else next time."
"Mmm, you're really a good child, your two mothers taught you really well." Song Xinchu looked at Qin Zhaoci with a lot more kindness in her eyes, seeing how Qin Zhaoci looked and pleasing to the eye.
But Ye Yufeng, who was put aside and was obviously neglected by them on purpose, didn't feel so good. Seeing them show the scene of motherly love and daughterly filial piety in front of her, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat and couldn't sit still.
After Song Xinchu and Ye Yici finished eating the scallion pancakes, Qin Zhaoci put away the lunch box, put it in a bag, turned to look at Ye Lianyin, and asked her what she was going to do next.
Ye Lianyin looked at the time and thought that she had seen her mother and sister by herself, so her purpose for today had been achieved. She directly stood up and said goodbye to Song Xinchu and Ye Yici: "Mom, sister, I just came back today to see you, but now that I've already seen you both, then my purpose for today has been accomplished, so Qin Zhaoci and I will go home now."
"Ah? It's so fast, I just came back not long ago," Ye Yici said with dismay.
Ye Lianyin glanced at Ye Yufeng, who was sitting aside without saying a word, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corners of her lips: “Mom, sister, there are always people in this family who don't welcome me back, Now a servant have to open the door for me to get in, even though I have already obeyed that someone's words to get married.”
"In the future she can't stop me anymore from seeing you, but I think we should not meet in this house after all. If you are free, come to our new house, if not, we will meet outside if we have free time. Anyway, you are always welcome to come over anytime."
"Why not? I heard that your sister seems to be a genius." Qin Zhaoci couldn't understand.
Ye Lianyin shook her head: "My mother is a very powerful person. My sister has only gained a firm foothold in the company in the past few years and has the right to speak, but my mother still has the most rights to the company, so the family basically listens to her.”
"To put it bluntly, the economic foundation determines the superstructure." Qin Zhaoci also understood the reason. “Your sister never thought about starting her own business without being controlled by your mother?"
