1608 Ungrateful Wretch

Ye Tian was in an awkward spot and said, "Those words were meant for Ye Youyou. Just help me pass the gist of the message to her, will you, Qianqian?"

"Oh… Is that so?" Ye Qianqian's tone sounded as if she were deliberating over something.

Ye Tian was uncertain and asked again, "Can you help me pass the message?"

"How will passing the message benefit me?" Ye Qianqian asked. It was clear from her tone that she was enjoying this.

Ye Tian grew vexed. This lass was so ill-mannered and ill-bred. She thought, How on earth did Ye Zhenhua bring this child up that she was of this ilk?

Ye Tian took a deep breath and ingratiatingly said, "The next time you come to the Capital for a visit, Mommy will take some time out for you, OK? Whatever you want, just let me know, and I'll buy it for you. If you have any difficulties in life, you only have to say the word. We are mother and daughter. You don't have to keep a distance from me."

"Hm…" Ye Qianqian sounded like she was considering it, but she suddenly burst out in laughter, "Heh… What if I don't pass the message on?"

"Qianqian, I know I made mistakes, but that was all in the past. This matter is really quite important. Please don't make things difficult for Mommy, OK?" Ye Tian lowered her voice and earnestly pleaded.

Those words made the Ye Qianqian's skin crawl. With a wave of her hand, she said, "Please don't say that. I'm not worthy of it at all. Back then, you abandoned us because of a man. Just how trustworthy do you think your words are now?"

Ye Tian was rendered speechless.

Ye Qianqian continued, "Furthermore, how are you so shameless? How do you not feel embarrassed to call yourself my mother? Ha ha! What a joke!"

Ye Tian burst out in fury. "Ye Qianqian! Is this what your father taught you?"

"Yeah!" Ye Qianqian matter-of-factly replied. "My father said, as a person, the two important values we must have are a sense of gratitude and a sense of self-preservation. When it comes to ungrateful wretches who freeload and prioritize outsiders over family, there's no need for pleasantries and courtesy."

"Whom are you calling an ungrateful wretch?" Ye Tian asked.

Ye Qianqian yelped in surprise and replied, "Oh, didn't you hear me clearly? I was talking about you! I was saying that you, Ye Tian, are an ungrateful wretch! Can you hear me clearly now? I… am… saying… that… you… Ye Tian… are… an… ungrateful… wretch! Got… it?"

Ye Tian was so angry that she could feel her innards burning. The fury boiled over, but there was no outlet for her to vent it.

Ye Qianqian continued, "Would you like me to broadcast it so that you can hear it clearly again?"

Ye Tian couldn't take it any longer and disconnected the call. She slammed the mobile phone down on the table and screamed. She bellowed, "Bastards! They're all bastards and sluts!"

Mrs. Sun heard it, but she continued to look down and didn't say a word.

The phone that was lying on the table suddenly rang. Ye Tian was caught by surprise. She looked at the phone and saw that it was Ye Qianqian calling.

Regardless of how infuriated and angry she was, Ye Qianqian was still someone whose help she desperately needed. Furthermore, it was possible that Ye Qianqian had realized that she made a mistake and was calling to apologize.

At that thought, Ye Tian's anger died down a little. She accepted the call and put the phone to her ear.

Ye Qianqian didn't hear Ye Tian's voice, but she was unfazed and spoke anyway, "Hey, Ye Tian, hear me out. I understand everything that you said just now. I feel that your apology was very sincere."

Ye Tian was overcome with relief and said, "It's good that you do. My apology to Youyou is sincere. Thank you, Qianqian."

"You're welcome," Ye Qianqian said. "I called just to tell you that I won't be passing a single word of what you said to Youyou. Goodbye!"
