Chen Wei obediently did as instructed and called a courier service to send the bouquet of roses directly to the Ye Family. The first to see the roses was Zheng Cai. Ye Tong had been snubbed by Xiao Shuo last night. She had fumed all night and, in the end, couldn’t hold back her anger any longer. Early in the morning, she went to settle accounts with Ye Yuning. But when she couldn’t find Ye Yuning, her pent-up anger had nowhere to go. On her way back, she saw Zheng Cai staring blankly at a bouquet of roses. She froze for a moment before approaching. "Mom, is Dad being romantic?" Ever since she returned to the Ye Family, she hadn’t really seen Ye Shilong treat Zheng Cai that well! Today, it was as if the sun had risen in the west. Seeing Ye Tong return, Zheng Cai frowned. "You’re back?" Ye Tong nodded. "Yes. Are these roses Dad sent you? What special day is it today?" She thought carefully; today was neither Valentine’s Day nor any other special occasion. Zheng Cai’s expression turned cold as she handed the card to Ye Tong. Ye Tong furrowed her brow, taking it while asking, "What is this?" Zheng Cai didn’t answer, letting her see for herself. When Ye Tong saw the card, it read: ’I was wrong, please forgive me!’ Next to the words was a clumsily drawn heart. She instantly recognized the handwriting. It was Xiao Shuo’s! Her breathing suddenly became rapid, and her pupils couldn’t stop constricting. Listening to Ye Tong’s heavy breathing, Zheng Cai irritably sat down on the sofa. In an unpleasant tone, she asked, "These are from Xiao Shuo to Ye Yuning, right?" She wasn’t a fool. Given what Ye Tong had done these past few days, and the snobbish nature of the Xiao Family’s second branch, they definitely wouldn’t cozy up to them. Yet now, Xiao Shuo was actually asking Ye Yuning for forgiveness. Ye Tong breathed heavily. "That bitch, Ye Yuning! What kind of love potion did she give Xiao Shuo?" "And Xiao Shuo, doesn’t he know that Ye Yuning is married now?" That’s right! Ye Yuning was married. Yet under such circumstances, Xiao Shuo was asking Ye Yuning for forgiveness—wasn’t that madness? What was he trying to do? Even if he wanted to reconcile, he shouldn’t use such methods to disgust them, right? Could it be that he still thought Ye Yuning would divorce him? Little did he know! Xiao Shuo believed Ye Yuning had rushed into marriage solely to resist the Qin Family’s arranged marriage with that fool. Her husband hadn’t even been introduced to anyone yet; it was all just a pretense. She was waiting for him! Such were Xiao Shuo’s arrogant assumptions. Zheng Cai glanced at Ye Tong. "Did Xiao Shuo break up with you?" Ye Tong hadn’t mentioned this to her family these past couple of days. She confidently believed that she and Xiao Shuo could still be together. These roses, asking for Ye Yuning’s forgiveness, had been sent from Manlang. Undoubtedly, this was Ye Yuning humiliating Ye Tong. "Did he really break up with you?" Zheng Cai asked, gritting her teeth. Ye Tong, her face pale and her body tense, nodded. "Yes." Zheng Cai was so furious she had to close her eyes. Ye Tong gritted her teeth. "Ye Yuning is doing this on purpose! What does she have to show off? Does she really intend to divorce for Xiao Shuo?" Having such roses delivered here... was she trying to tell me that all my scheming was for naught? That Xiao Shuo had ultimately returned to her side? Ye Tong was seething with fury, yet she felt powerless against Ye Yuning. Zheng Cai couldn’t swallow this insult either. "I don’t care what you do, but you have to win Xiao Shuo back." That Ye Yuning was really going too far! First, it was Xiao Shuo himself who wanted to break off the engagement with Ye Tong, and now Ye Yuning was taking her anger out on them? Ye Tong stammered, "I... I will!" "You must win him back." Now that Zheng Siyu still hadn’t made any headway with Qi Ye, Ye Tong absolutely couldn’t lose Xiao Shuo. Hearing the seriousness and determination in her mother’s voice, Ye Tong nodded. "Yes, I understand." Her soft voice was tinged with sobs. She was clearly infuriated by Ye Yuning. Zheng Cai looked at her daughter’s aggrieved expression and sighed. "I don’t necessarily insist on you marrying Xiao Shuo. But you know, the stories about you and Xiao Shuo have spread throughout the high society of Upper City..." At this point, Zheng Cai paused abruptly. Even though she didn’t continue, Ye Tong likely understood the implications. In the past, I really didn’t like Xiao Shuo much. The Xiao Family’s second branch was the weakest. But now there was no choice. Ye Tong had been pregnant with Xiao Shuo’s child—what other good family would want her now? Although Ye Tong is my own daughter, I also know her value has been greatly diminished because of Xiao Shuo. Hearing Zheng Cai’s words, Ye Tong’s face turned somewhat pale. So this was why Mom called Zheng Siyu back? Because I was no longer worthy, was that it?
