In a beautiful and romantic mansion. Ye Shiyu kicked off her high heels and pouted as though she had been suffered a huge injustice. Her brows were knitted into one straight line and her face was flushed red. She was extremely unhappy.

“Mum…” She shouted at the middle-aged woman in the house.

That woman was Shen Lu, 53 years old this year. She was the mother of Ye Shiyu, Ye Yi and Ye Zhe, and the ex-wife of Ye Snr. who she had spent 30 years together with.

Shen Lu walked over with a smile. She might be over 50 years old but she took great care of herself and only looked like she was around 40 years old. This was especially so since her face was so smooth, fair and supple that there seemed to almost no wrinkles on it.

However, the moment she saw her daughter, the smile on her face froze and her brows arched high.

“What’s wrong? Was it a failed date?” Shen Lu asked her precious daughter. She had always doted on this daughter of hers.

Ye Shiyu heaved a loud sigh, then rolled her eyes.

She sat cross-legged on the sofa, her face a picture of vexation.

“This is all your fault, mum. Why did you ask me to pretend to be a lady? In the end, Su Ye managed to tell in one glance that I’m no lady and quickly found an excuse to leave after dinner.”

Ye Shiyu shouted so loudly that even the maids in the house could hear her words. She was so annoyed since she had truly wanted Su Ye to be her boyfriend and to her, there was no one else who could be better than Su Ye.

Shen Lu’s heart dropped the moment she heard that the blind date was a failure, as though someone had poured cold water all over her.

She quickly sat by her daughter’s side, wanting to find out what exactly had gone wrong.

“Tell me exactly what happened. How could he tell that you weren’t a lady? Did you say something wrong?” Shen Lu asked anxiously even as she wrapped an arm around her daughter’s shoulders, giving her some comfort.

Ye Shiyu sighed in annoyance, then she flung the cushion in her hands onto the floor.

She told her mother everything that had happened at the restaurant, including every word that she and Su Ye had exchanged.

Shen Lu was livid after she heard what had taken place. She was so angry that her face was flushed and her breathing turned rapid.

“Sigh….” She hit her daughter’s shoulders in disappointment. “Why were you so foolish? Those were trick questions that he threw out deliberately since he could probably tell that you didn’t like your brother nor your sister-in-law but you fell for it hook, line and sinker. You even told him that He Xiyan was used goods and a scheming bitch… you….”

Shen Lu was so livid that her chest hurt and she clutched at her chest.

She had always been an intelligent woman, so why was her biological daughter so foolish?

“Mum…” Ye Shiyu grew more enraged and clasped her hands tightly together. “Don’t you think you’re to blame for this fiasco? How could you ask me to pretend to be lady? This was the flaw in your plan. If I had been myself around Su Ye, he might have fallen for me by now.”

Ye Shiyu threw the blame at her mother. In any case, she was annoyed. She didn’t have any feelings toward Su Ye before tonight since they hadn’t met before that but after meeting him, she had developed a crush on him. She decided that she wouldn’t marry anyone but Su Ye.

Both mother and daughter played the blame game, so Shen Lu could only shake her head in resignation and paced around the house in annoyance.

Her plan was for Ye Shiyu to marry into the Su family. The Su family was so powerful that it didn’t matter that Ye Hao had obtained most of the Ye family holdings. Once Ye Yi was out of the rehabilitation center, if the Su family helped them, her son could build his own business.

This was her plan. After all, Ye Zhiyuan that ungrateful scum not only let her down, he had also let their children down. Ye Yi and Ye Shiyu didn’t get a single company share while Ye Zhe only received a tiny portion and was only managing two companies.
