Chapter 17 Banquet (4) Matchmaking
"Master..."
"Daddy..."
The mother and daughter, fished out from the pond, looked absolutely miserable.
"Don't you hurry back to change your clothes, stop disgracing yourself here!" Ye Zhengde coldly reprimanded them upon seeing their state.
At this moment, no matter how much Zhou Ruotang and Ye Zhilan acted aggrieved and pitiful, Ye Zhengde still despised them in the end.
Firstly, they really were in an utter disheveled state; secondly, such embarrassment in these circumstances was a blow to Ye Zhengde's reputation.
He had not anticipated that on such an important day, it would be Zhou Ruotang and Ye Zhilan who embarrassed him thoroughly.
By contrast, the transformations in Qin Mengxi and Ye Qichi somehow rippled through his heart, even though he showed no sign of it.
Zhou Ruotang knew she was utterly disgraceful at the moment, and didn't dare act too coquettishly in front of Ye Zhengde, so she had no choice but to take her daughter and leave. As they left, she glanced back at the radiant An Ning and Qin Mengxi, her eyes brimming with undisguised hate and jealousy.
Ye Zhilan, reluctant and resentful, followed Zhou Ruotang in an embarassing departure.
The scene soon returned to normal.
