Chapter 377 Another daydream?
As soon as Ye Sanqing said this, everyone looked at Ye Wanyin.
Upon hearing Ye Sanqing's first question, she tried to quicken her pace, but Lu Wangqian insisted on holding her tightly and pretending to leave calmly, so she had no control over the pace of her escape.
Hearing Ye Sanqing's last two sentences, she was even more...
Oh no, this woman has found a loophole in my logic, and she'll definitely stick to it and won't let go.
Ye Wanyin stopped and slowly turned around.
At this point, she couldn't care less about adding her name to the family tree. She forced a smile and said, "I... I apologize to my sister for my slip of the hand, but you got my clothes wet, shouldn't you apologize to me too?"
Ye Sanqing simply stared at her without saying a word.
Ye Wanyin's actions were certainly deliberate and restrained. She splashed herself instead of Ye Sanqing, so even if the other party was angry, he would be unable to justify his actions because he had not suffered any actual harm.
Moreover... Ye Yifan, who is Ye Sanqing's biggest supporter in the Ye family, was not present today, so Ye Wanyin did not think that her behavior was a provocation to the Ye family.
She just didn't expect Ye Sanqing to take action even when he was in the wrong.
Seeing her like this, Ye Wanyin pressed her advantage, saying, "Even if you have no remorse, there are so many people watching... and today is my wedding day..."
"Huh? So many people, did I invite them? Did I decide to get married today?"
Ye Sanqing was actually just waiting for her to make her point, so of course she wouldn't be speechless.
"First of all, whether it was an accident or intentional is up to your judgment. But the fact is, you started it, right?"
"Secondly, you tried to frame me, while I was just standing there the whole time. What? You think it's wrong for me to breathe? If you're so capable, why don't you vacuum this place?"
"Third, didn't your man fight back? Does my successful dodge mean he didn't attack?"
"Ye Wanyin, didn't I tell you that if this happened again, I would make things difficult for you? And Lu Wangqian, although your brother represents the Lu family, I don't think..."
Ye Sanqing chuckled softly before finishing his sentence.
What she didn't say was, "How much of a relationship do you still have with the Lu family?"
"……Feel sorry."
After a moment of silence, it was Lu Wangqian who spoke first.
He apologized, but still held his chin high with arrogance, looking down at the others.
Her words put Lu Wangqian in an awkward position. If he let Lu Mingye represent him, it would be tantamount to acknowledging Lu Mingye's status in the Lu family. If he chose to apologize himself, it would be equivalent to admitting that the Lu family no longer had much to do with him.
After careful consideration, Lu Wangqian chose the latter option. The relationship was not significant and there was still a chance for it to grow. However, by acknowledging Lu Mingye's status now, it would be difficult to reverse the situation.
Ye Sanqing didn't bother with his lack of acting skills; in fact, even if he did offer some meager performance, it wouldn't improve the situation much.
She just kept staring at Ye Wanyin.
"..." Ye Wanyin wanted to argue with her, but she noticed Lu Mingye's gaze as he stood to the side and behind Ye Sanqing and the others.
There was a strong sense of disdain in that look, but Ye Wanyin couldn't tell whether it was disdain for her gender, or disdain for her being unfit for public life, or perhaps both.
Lu Mingye is still the legitimate heir of the Lu family...
Ye Wanyin didn't want to offend him right now, so she softened her tone and said, "I'm sorry, sister, I was being unreasonable."
Lu Mingye nodded almost imperceptibly.
Ye Wanyin had just breathed a sigh of relief when she felt Lu Wangqian's fingers tighten on her shoulder.
Sigh, men, they wouldn't be jealous at a time like this, would they?
She wanted to curse Lu Wangqian in her heart for being so unreasonable. It was bad enough that he couldn't protect her, but she had already apologized, and Lu Wangqian was still not satisfied. What did he want?
"Step back," Ye Sanqing said, preparing to sit back down, but the seats were all wet from the water-splashing incident.
She simply picked up her wine glass and stood by the wall, while Sheng Hanyu and Gong Yao had been watching the show for quite a while.
Seeing this, Ye Jin'er also stopped sitting and stood next to her, raising her wine glass as well.
Now that Lu Wangqian had left, Lu Mingye directed the waiters to clean the seats and took the microphone to say a few words to calm things down, which temporarily brought peace to the room.
Then... Ye Sanqing watched him walk towards him.
"?"
Ye Sanqing thought to himself, "You're not going to start planning the route now, are you?"
She glanced at Old Master Lu out of the corner of her eye; he clearly had an approving expression on his face.
...Is the old man daydreaming again?
"I'm so sorry, my sister-in-law..." Lu Mingye said a few more polite words, then turned to Ye Sanqing and said, "Miss Ye, to express my apologies, I would like to invite you to dinner afterwards. I wonder if I have the honor?"
Ye Sanqing stared at him for a moment, then sneered, "Fine. But I'm filming, and I need... Young Master Lu? to accommodate my schedule."
Lu Mingye knew when to stop and didn't press the matter further. He simply said he would contact him later and returned to his seat.
"What's wrong with him..." Ye Jin'er muttered under her breath, it was unclear whether he was dissatisfied because he didn't have a chance to perform earlier, or because he was unhappy with Lu Mingye.
In fact, Ye Jin'er was dissatisfied with the entire Lu family, but Lu Mingye's manners were impeccable, so he couldn't use this as an excuse to make a fuss.
Since even the eldest sister doesn't think highly of Lu Wangqian, it's unlikely that Ye Sanqing would think highly of Lu Mingye either.
Moreover, there are some unsavory rumors surrounding Lu Mingye.
He thought to himself that he couldn't let Ye Sanqing be deceived by this person. He looked up at Ye Sanqing and found that the other party had revealed an ambiguous smile.
Ye Jin'er was relieved.
It's important to understand that not overprotecting one's younger sister is a crucial lesson for every older brother, especially for a sister with Ye Sanqing's personality.
He can assist from the sidelines and speak on behalf of the Ye family, but he cannot overstep his bounds.
Gong Yao tugged at Sheng Hanyu's sleeve, expressing his confusion.
She was screaming in her heart!
Bro, someone's poaching your boyfriend right in front of you, and you're not even making a move?
You've become more composed, but is that really a good thing?
However, she also knew in her heart that dealing with the Lu family was not something that could be done in a day or two. Since Lu Mingye had taken the initiative to come to her, it was reasonable to have a controlled range of contact with him strategically.
She was really annoyed! If Sheng Hanyu and Ye Sanqing were already dating, she doubted Lu Mingye would dare to make this request in front of others.
It must be said that Gong Yao overestimated the Lu family's moral bottom line.
Sheng Hanyu was well aware that Lu Mingye was one of the targets of his pursuit, but he did not intend to interfere with Ye Sanqing's actions.
The look in Ye Sanqing's eyes when he agreed clearly conveyed the meaning of "finding a new experimental sample".
Before this world becomes real, many of Ye Sanqing's actions are justified, and she doesn't need to seek Sheng Hanyu's consent for every single one.
Even if her actions might cause misunderstandings among others, he shouldn't be the one to cause those misunderstandings.
Sheng Hanyu closed her eyes, recalling the question she hadn't had time to think about in the parking lot earlier.
What if his data is also deemed invalid by the system?
