Chapter 775: Greedy is never enough at 775
Although Wang Chunsheng was a bit greedy, he was sensible enough not to lose the benefits he already had for the sake of uncertain future gains.
Regrettably, Ye Erya was not content. She glanced around the large mansion she stood upon and said, "The few taels of silver my father gave us, all the big money is still in the hands of the He Family; his bit of private money is only enough for our family to eat well, no, I can't just let it go like this..."
Being a daughter of the Ye Family as well, look at Ye Jiu, that doomed girl, dressed in fine silk and satin, wearing glittering gold, why should she still worry about her next meal?
Ye Daya didn't know that Ye Jiu actually disliked wearing jewelry. It was only today that Mrs. He thought she was too plainly dressed and forcibly adorned her, hanging a gold necklace around her neck and clipping two gold butterflies in her hair.
The entire person was gleaming, shining in the sunlight, hence at that moment, Ye Jiu only made a symbolic appearance outside to present a gift to the newly born great-nephew before hurriedly retreating back to the courtyard, afraid of being ridiculed.
Little did she expect that during that brief moment she came out, she would catch the envious eye of Ye Daya, who didn't even dare to show her face.
Seeing the greedy Ye Daya, Wang Chunsheng warned, "If you want to get something, go after it through your old man; just don't mess with that old lady, otherwise, if you lose the only benefit you have now, you don't need to return to the Wang Family."
At that time, it would be great if she could snatch some valuable things, anyway, it would be best if she could move the whole Ye Family to the Wang Family's residence.
However, Wang Chunsheng saw things clearly; offending the old lady of the Ye Family, let alone getting anything, he feared he'd not even manage to escape unscathed in the future.
Now outsiders say that all the money-making ideas in the Ye Family come from that girl Ye Jiu, while the administration is handled by Ye Gaosheng. As for his father-in-law, he's just a figurehead, purely a puppet.
Ye Daya initially planned to make a big fuss to gain more benefits, but now, threatened by Wang Chunsheng, she instantly dismissed her original plan.
If she indeed lost the little benefit her father had given her now, the Wang Family would certainly not let her stay on, and by then, she would probably have no way out.
After all, both spouses were selfish, just that Wang Chunsheng was a bit more clear-sighted, while Ye Daya, though clearly understanding, pretended to be confused, always hoping to achieve her desires out of the little hope she clung to.
Although the Zhao Family had been driven out, the feast of the Ye Family was still bustling as usual.
With the arrival of Ye Gaoyun's family, the third son of the Ye Family, Ye Gaoyun whispered to Mrs. He, who had returned to the room, for a long while, then went out satisfied to exchange pleasantries with others.
After making the rounds, Ye Gaoyun realized he hadn't seen Ye Jiu, so he casually grabbed the busy Ye Gaosheng and asked, "Fourth brother, where's the little sister?"
"She probably found it too noisy outside and went back to her courtyard with Qinghua and Qingzhi and hasn't come out," Ye Gaosheng replied.
"Oh, you carry on; I'm going to talk to the little sister for a while," Ye Gaoyun said as he let go of Ye Gaosheng.
Then, Ye Gaoyun found Mrs. Yan, settled her and her two sons, and then headed to Ye Jiu's courtyard.
In the main courtyard, Mrs. He had someone call over Old Man Ye, then coldly maintained a stern face throughout.
