And so, the gang decided to walk past her.
Wang Xiangyun did not intend to greet them either, but soon after that, she turned around as they walked further away.
The moment she walked past them, she noticed a bulge in her belly.
“Is she pregnant? Then why would she come looking for Brother Ming?”
If the gang knew she had these strange thoughts, they would think she was suffering from serious paranoia!
Wang Xiangyun reasoned that if she herself did not deserve Dongfang Ming, then Liu Duo as an inferior shared wife was even less deserving of him!
She recalled that Dongfang Ming had told her he was heading to Yonghe Bank. And so that was where she headed too.
“Duo Er, that’s Miss Wang, isn’t it? Why does she look like that?” Ye Ling asked Liu Duo curiously.
Liu Duo barely got a word out when Ye Mo spoke in her stead. “Ling, when did you learn to gossip like those old women back home? What does her appearance have to do with you? You just said careless talk leads to trouble back there, don’t forget!”
He might not know Wang Xiangyun’s backstory, but they knew better than to run their mouths and gossip, whether it was behind her back or to her face.
They would focus on living their own lives, and not inquire or comment on everybody else’s.
“Ling was just simply asking, why do you have to react so fiercely, Mo? Can’t you talk nicely?” Liu Duo sided with Ye Ling.
Ye Ling did not quite agree with Ye Mo’s tone of voice either. He said, “Mo, can you learn to control your tone when talking to your family? You make it look like we’re strangers.”
Ye Yang simply shot him a glance without saying anything.
His eyes usually spoke volumes. His brothers could always tell what he meant.
Ye Mo quickly folded, his imposing manner shrinking rapidly.
Actually, they knew how he was as a person. He spoke like that because he was used to it. He did not mean to offend.
Either way, he would be a father soon. He ought to change this bad habit of getting fired up over trivial matters, otherwise, he was bound to set a bad example for his children.
Ye Ling knew it was not nice to talk about people behind their backs. Ye Mo was right to remind him about that, but he felt guilty to have the other three defending him against his elder brother.
“I’ll bear that in mind, Mo!” Ye Ling felt like he had to protect his brother, so he went on to speak on Ye Mo’s behalf. “Duo Er, don’t blame him. Mo didn’t do anything wrong. He just spoke like that out of habit.”
Then, he pointed at a crowded spot just ahead of them and changed the subject. “Look! There are so many people! I wonder what they’re looking at. Must be something interesting. Let’s go.”
Ye Liu glanced over there. Obviously, he knew why Ling had changed the topic.
“That’s quite a crowd over there for sure. Seems interesting, alright. But Little Duo isn’t fit for cramped spaces anymore!”
This made Ye Ling feel awkward. How could he have forgotten about that?
He opened his mouth but could not think of anything else to talk about.
Liu Duo cut in to resolve the awkward moment. “Alright, let’s not be troubled by irrelevant people. Let’s shop for a little more, then we’ll go back to the inn.”
Their wife had spoken. They agreed to leave the conflict behind and continued to stroll along the bustling streets.
By the time Wang Xiangyun arrived at the bank, Dongfang Ming was dealing with the staff!
