The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 11 - 0, Second Master’s Death Anniversary

Finally, the end-of-class bell rang.

As soon as Xu Li left, the people in the classroom looked at each other and then exploded into chatter.

"Surname Ye, could it be someone from the Ye Family?"

"Ye Miao, she shares the same surname as you, do you know her?"

"She seems so arrogant and imposing, not even wearing the school uniform, and she’s lying down to sleep on her first day of class, damn impressive."

The people around were whispering, and Ye Miao’s face grew increasingly ugly.

He jumped to his feet, startling the people beside him.

Ye Miao strode over to Ye Jiuliang, slapping his hand on the desk.

"Bang—"

The breeze from his palm lifted a few strands of her hair.

The others silently fell quiet, their surprised gazes shifting between Ye Miao and Ye Jiuliang.

The smell of gunpowder was thick.

There was a story here.

Ye Jiuliang slowly straightened up and leaned back.

"Is there a problem?" she asked, her eyes and brows slightly cool, showing some irritation.

"Ye Jiuliang, now that you’ve entered Beisen, you’d better not tarnish the Ye Family’s reputation all over the place. This isn’t abroad; you should remember that," Ye Miao said viciously.

So, they really did know each other.

It looked like they were even family, the onlookers sighed inwardly.

Ye Jiuliang curled her lips, stood up, walked past him, and headed outside.

She completely ignored him.

This move made Ye Miao feel like he couldn’t save face.

It was as if he had performed a solo act, all fired up while others treated him like a fool.

"Ye Jiuliang, you stop right there," Ye Miao called after the girl’s retreating figure.

Ye Jiuliang acted as if she hadn’t heard and continued to walk out without stopping. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Watching that carefree figure, everyone couldn’t help but click their tongues.

With that presence, she totally outclassed Ye Miao.

"What are you looking at." Having lost face over Ye Jiuliang, Ye Miao vented his anger on the others.

He kicked the chair Ye Jiuliang had sat in and then quickly left the classroom.

The next two periods were for elective courses. Ye Jiuliang had just arrived, and she hadn’t chosen her electives yet, so she simply wandered around the school.

President’s Office

"What kind of wind has blown you, Li Fifth Master, over here?" Feng Yi said with a light chuckle, teasing the friend sitting on the opposite sofa.

Li Mochan had his legs crossed and gave him a slight glance, "I heard old Mr. Feng has been arranging blind dates for you recently?"

The "old Mr. Feng" he referred to was Feng Yi’s grandfather. Although the two of them were of similar age, there was a generation gap. Mentioning this made Feng Yi feel speechless.

"What, do you have a good match to introduce to me?" Feng Yi retorted as if he wasn’t bothered by boiling water.

"Xiao Family..." Li Mochan began to speak with his thin lips slightly parted.

Before he could finish, Feng Yi quickly raised both hands in surrender, saying, "Okay, okay, my mistake. Boss, I shouldn’t have made fun of you with my loose lips."

That spoiled miss from the Xiao Family was more than he could bear.

"I want to ask you something. I’ve heard that Li Jingjie is getting engaged to Ye Xin. Is that set in stone?" Feng Yi asked with keen interest, recalling the recent gossip rippling through their circle.

An alliance between the Li Family and the Ye Family, that would be quite the spectacle.

Li Mochan hummed indifferently in response.

"That guy Li Jingjie, just a few days ago I saw him taking a woman into a hotel. If Ye Xin gets wind of this, it’ll probably make things even more interesting," Feng Yi said with a schadenfreude grin.

In terms of status, the Ye Family was not a bit inferior to the Li Family. If Li Jingjie caused a scandal that embarrassed the Ye Family right at the critical moment of their engagement, the marriage would likely be in jeopardy.

But Li Jingjie wasn’t brainless, his scandals were indeed well-hidden.

At this moment, a knocking sound arose.

Knock, knock, knock.

In an instant, Feng Yi restrained the smile at the corner of his mouth, "Come in."

"President, the meeting has started," Assistant Jian Cheng entered, his expression respectfully conveying the message.

"Understood, you can leave now."

Jian Cheng nodded and quietly stepped out.

Feng Yi casually withdrew his gaze and, seeing the person opposite him standing up, quickly said, "Don’t forget about the VI Club tomorrow afternoon."

As the words fell, the man had already walked to the door.

At the main entrance of the corporation, a black luxury car was parked.

In the driver’s seat, Wei Bei was replying to messages on his phone.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of someone exiting the company and quickly got out of the car.

As he opened the car door he said, "Master, you left your phone in the car, it just rang."

Hearing this, Li Mochan’s deep eyes darkened before he sat in the car.

Wei Bei closed the car door and walked around to the other side to get in.

Inside the car, Li Mochan’s slender fingers glided across the screen, finding the missed call and redialing it.

"Doo-doo..."

It hadn’t rung twice before someone on the other end answered.

"Cousin, you’re being too unfair," the man’s complaining words still couldn’t hide his voice’s gentle, jade-like warmth.

Li Mochan asked unhurriedly, "Thinking about joining the company?"

After a few seconds of silence on the phone, a soft sigh was heard, "Cousin, it’s not nice to threaten people like this. If it weren’t for your disappearance, how could Grandmother... That blind date was meant for you, you know."

A massive matchmaking event; he wished he could have sprouted wings and flown away.

He felt like he was caught in the crossfire while lying down.

It was too hard for him!

"I heard your contract with Ayi’s company is ending soon?" Li Mochan hooked his lips, his tone as light as a cloud.

Instantly understanding the implications in his words, Jiang Yisheng felt miserable and ingratiatingly said, "Cousin, I happen to be free these days, I can spend more time at home with Grandmother. You just focus on handling the company’s affairs."

A satisfied curve appeared on Li Mochan’s lips.

...

That afternoon, Ye Jiuliang had no classes and returned home early.

Passing by the courtyard, she happened to hear Old Master Ye’s voice.

"How is Jiuliang doing at school?"

"Should be doing quite well," Aren said softly while standing by, "The school uniform and textbooks will be sent over in a bit."

Old Master Ye took a light sip of tea, "That’s good."

"Master, the anniversary of Second Master’s death is at the end of next month. Now that Miss Jiuliang has returned, should we let her know about the day of mourning?" After hesitating for a while, Aren asked.

Although Ye Yuan had passed away, Ye Jiuliang had always refused to acknowledge this fact. She never came back for Ye Yuan’s death anniversary, and any mention of it between her and Old Master Ye always led to arguments.

There was a time when, due to Ye Miao and others’ careless and insensitive talk, they deliberately mentioned Ye Yuan’s death anniversary in front of Ye Jiuliang. In front of everyone, Ye Jiuliang ended up beating them up.

Since then, Ye Jiuliang’s notoriety had become well-known within the Ye Family, and despite Old Master Ye’s protective stance, eventually, nobody dared to easily bring up her father’s death anniversary in her presence.

The fingers of Old Master Ye that were pinching the tea lid stiffened, a trace of sorrow crossing his eyes, mingled with other feelings he couldn’t quite articulate.

"There’s no need."

A cold voice suddenly interrupted.

Old Master Ye’s expression changed slightly as he looked up, and Ye Jiuliang emerged, pushing aside the branches and leaves and walking out from behind the ancient tree.

Beneath the slanting sun, frost condensed in the depths of her eyes.

Her piercing gaze made Old Master Ye inexplicably flustered.
