2346 Who's Gaining From Whom?

However, this time, Ye Lan changed her usual style and did not give her any face.

"Ye Shan, you always think that Nian Nian is out of the Ye family's league."

Ye Shan looked up, unable to hide her thoughts.

Was she not?

Qiao Nian was the one who had climbed up the social ladder.

Otherwise, with Ye Wangchuan's status and background, he could get any woman. Why did he have to choose a bumpkin from Rao City?

No matter how capable a bumpkin was, it could not change her class and background.

Qiao Nian's background was destined to never be worthy of the Ye family!

Seeing through her thoughts, Ye Lan smiled coldly and said, "Let me tell you, it's not Qiao Nian who's out of our league. It's the Ye family who's out of Qiao Nian's league! It's fine if you don't understand. Just remember this sentence well."

Outside the hotel.

Ye Wangchuan held the girl's hand and walked out.

Qiao Nian stopped when they reached the parking lot. She looked up and slowly retracted her hand. "You can let go now."

Only then did Ye Wangchuan let go of her hand. Noticing the red marks on her porcelain skin from his grip, he rubbed his eyebrows, lowered his eyes, and asked, "Did I hurt you? Why didn't you tell me?"

Qiao Nian rubbed her wrist and casually replied, "We left in a hurry, so I didn't call out to you."

She looked up at him with clear eyes. "Are you feeling better now?"

Ye Wangchuan was dazed for a second. His expression was difficult to read. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line. Grabbing her hand and massaging her red wrist, his expression was slightly vexed as he gently said, "You have to tell me when I hurt you next time."

"I'm fine." Qiao Nian did not feel any pain. He had only exerted a little force, but he was actually very restrained.

Ye Wangchuan gently held her wrist and said in a low voice, "I'll buy medicine on the way back."

Ah, this…

There was really no need.

Qiao Nian was silent for a moment. Then, she looked at him and was about to speak when Ye Wangchuan pulled down her sleeve, opened the car door, and said, "Get in."

Qiao Nian glanced at him. Then, she got into the front passenger seat and buckled the seatbelt.

Ye Wangchuan also got into the car.

He started the car but was not in a hurry to drive away. Instead, he was silent for a while. His eyebrows moved slightly as he looked at the girl and said, "I'll give you an explanation for Ye Shan's matter later."

Qiao Nian had already fastened her seatbelt and thrown her bag on the backseat. Hearing this, she looked at him in surprise. "Do you think I'll be angry because of Ye Shan?"

Ye Wangchuan smiled and brushed her black hair to the side. "I know you won't be angry because of her. I just don't want you to suffer."

He had doted on her so much, so how could he bear to let any Tom, Dick, or Harry bully her?

"Ye Shan's father has sacrificed a lot for the Ye family. It can be said that he has dedicated his entire life to the family. The Old Master values relationships. Based on this point, even though he knows she's useless, he always gives her chances. He even handed over the overseas businesses to her and Uncle to manage.

"Ye Shan… grew up in a honey jar, nurturing her lowly character. Old Master has always given in to her, which is why she's so insensible today. According to Old Master's style of doing things, he will have definitely taught her a lesson after we left."

Ye Wangchuan's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of inadvertence. "I'm saving Old Master some face, but I don't agree with his way of handling things."
