Chapter 1068: 1056 Reality World [21] Hiding One’s Talent (2 more)

Su Lan frowned. "Why is she getting frozen out?"

She had always been annoyed at Ye Shaohua for not accepting the role at the Su Family’s branch company.

Now, upon hearing Ye Tong’s words, her previous frustration escalated uncontrollably, "Before, asking her to come back was like inviting a Buddha, but now she knows to come back when there’s trouble."

"Is this how an elder should behave?" After giving instructions to the kitchen, Grandpa Ye’s expression grew severe upon hearing Su Lan’s words, "When Star City Entertainment bullies your daughter, shouldn’t you stand up for her?"

The old man had commanded a group of soldiers in his younger years, and although he was older now, his imposing demeanor hadn’t faded.

Su Lan’s face turned slightly pale.

The aunt, playing the good person, hurriedly spoke up, "Grandpa Ye, don’t be angry, we have Tongtong leading the way. As you know, Tongtong was sensible even as a child, never causing any worry for our youngest aunt. Lili is the same; both are excellent, so it’s just that Shaohua hasn’t adjusted yet. Please be understanding and give her some time."

The aunt also thought Ye Shaohua had come back because of this issue.

In fact, she didn’t think highly of Ye Shaohua at all.

But she still had to speak up for Su Lan.

Given an out, Su Lan naturally knew to take it, "Dad, you also know that Shaohua wasn’t very bright as a child, and I’m still not used to it..."

Grandpa Ye felt very tired. Ye Tong and Ye Li had grown up in the Ye Family.

Although the Ye Family had lost most of their military power in recent years, they still retained some influence and had the Su Family’s protection.

How many people in Imperial City would dare to show disrespect to these two?

But was it the same for Shaohua? Who knew she was the daughter of the Ye Family?

Knowing that the upcoming banquet needed to be moved forward, Grandpa Ye sighed inwardly and simply waved his hand at Su Lan, "As long as you’re aware of these things, don’t say them in front of Shaohua."

"Yes, Dad." Su Lan forced a smile.

When Ye Shaohua returned, she sensed that something was off.

Especially the way her aunt looked at her.

She always felt there was a hint of disdain in her aunt’s gaze...

Ye Shaohua couldn’t figure out what she might have done wrong but decided to ignore it.

Not long after her return, Ye Li and Ye Feng both came back from the Military District.

"Who is this?" Ye Li was surprised to see Mu Liu following behind Ye Shaohua.

Ye Shaohua was calm, "This is my Assistant."

It was not unusual for a star to have an assistant, so Ye Li nodded without saying anything but glanced at the Assistant beside Ye Shaohua with some suspicion, feeling as if... he had seen the Assistant somewhere before.

However, he couldn’t recall where and decided to put the matter aside for now.

At dinner, Ye Tong and the aunt were waiting for Ye Shaohua to bring up the issue herself.

Still, they waited until the end of dinner, and Ye Shaohua didn’t mention her conflict with Star City Entertainment.

This made Su Lan frequently glance at her.

Ye Shaohua put down her chopsticks and suddenly looked up at Su Lan, "Do I have a flower on my face?"

Su Lan was stunned.

"Then why do you keep looking at me?" Since returning, Ye Shaohua had only ever addressed Grandpa Ye as "Grandpa" but never called Su Lan "Mom," often choosing to forget.

This was also a reason for Su Lan’s complaints.

"No," confronted by Ye Shaohua, Su Lan didn’t hide it and directly asked, "Did you have a fallout with your company?"

Ye Shaohua was still pondering whether she had done something inappropriate to let the Ye Family discover her identity.

Or perhaps Ye Li had heard something else while in the Military District.

Now, hearing Su Lan’s explanation and seeing the aunt’s confident gaze, tinged with a bit of disdainful scrutiny, he suddenly understood what they were talking about.

Ye Li was the first to throw down his chopsticks and stand up, "Who’s bullying you?!"

Even Ye Feng looked at her worriedly and touched his phone.

The old master had lost interest due to what Ye Tong had said earlier and was waiting for Shaohua to speak up. He was ready to back her up, but since she hadn’t said anything, he was growing impatient.

Now that Su Lan had spoken up, he couldn’t hold back any longer and immediately looked up at Shaohua.

"It’s just a minor issue, I can handle it myself," Shaohua paused slightly before smiling, "It’s nothing."

She picked up her chopsticks and continued to eat a few more bites.

Shaohua didn’t seem to be pretending, and after the three men observed her carefully, noticing that she ate a little more than usual, they believed her words.

"How come I heard that you’ve been sidelined by the upper management of Star City Entertainment?" Ye Tong raised her eyes in surprise, "We’re all family here, you don’t need to hide anything. It isn’t something to be ashamed of."

Shaohua gave her a dismissive glance, "I’m not aware of that. Do you know my company’s affairs better than I do?"

Ye Tong opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.

"Alright, Tongtong," Ye Feng gave Ye Tong a warning look, then turned toward Shaohua, his tone becoming more gentle, "If you encounter any trouble, just tell the family."

Shaohua paused for a moment before looking up and smiling brightly, "Okay."

"Has the notice from above come down?" After discussing Shaohua’s matters, the old master began to inquire about military affairs.

Ye Li shook his head, "It seems there’s no chance for us to get a promotion to major general now; it should go to that young master of the Mu Family."

The old master frowned, "What about the Mu Family? You are not less qualified than that young fellow from the Mu Family..."

"Grandpa, the Mu Family now has the backing of the Mu Family," Ye Li said calmly.

The old master didn’t say anything more.

Suddenly, Ye Feng said, "If we were also under the Mu Family’s wing, Lili wouldn’t have been superseded by someone dropped in from above..."

"The Mu Family has a heritage of over a hundred years," the old master interrupted Ye Feng’s wishful thinking, "Our Ye Family’s foundation is still too shallow. To be tied to the Mu Family’s ship, we are decades short."

Hearing this, Shaohua glanced at the old master.

Ye Li didn’t feel any regret; he continued to speak softly to Shaohua about matters in the Entertainment Circle. After the meal, he asked her for several autographs, saying there were fans of hers in his team.

After the meal, Shaohua signed a few notes to bring back to him.

The old master was sitting beside her, and when he saw her writing, he was stunned for several minutes, "Shaohua, have you studied calligraphy?"

"... Somewhat," Shaohua, afraid of revealing too much, hadn’t written very nicely, but still managed to surprise the old man.

Although Ye Li had been striving in the military from a young age and lacked long-term commitment due to his mischievousness,

he had studied calligraphy with a teacher in his childhood to cultivate his mind.

Seeing Shaohua’s handwriting now, he knew she had put effort into it and praised her without stinginess.

Shaohua was thick-skinned. She looked at the characters dripping with her own "points" of effort, and feeling slightly embarrassed, she lowered her head to see the old master and Ye Li pondering her handwriting and pretended to check her phone.

She happened to scroll through Weibo.

She logged into the wrong account unintentionally.

A flood of ’@mentions’ notifications.

She clicked on a message from someone she followed—
