C8 He's Not Kidding Is He

"What?" Ye Xuanzhi did not expect him to suddenly ask this. She was stunned.

There were two people fighting in her mind. After all, she and Gong Yuhee were just engaged. They were not married yet. Logically speaking, she should have gone back to the Ye Family at this time. But now, there was no place for her to stay in the Ye Family.

Just because of Ye Yanran's jealous look at the engagement dinner tonight, as long as she dared to go back to the Ye Family, Bai Xinqing and her daughter would definitely play tricks to ruin the matter between her and Gong Yuhee. Her father, Ye Zhen, had long been bewitched by Bai Xinqing and her daughter. They would definitely follow their wishes and make things difficult for her. She was afraid that she would not be able to live in peace for even a second.

However, she and Gong Yuhee were only engaged. They were not married yet. Was it appropriate for them to live together now? Besides, Gong Yuhee still remembered the heart-shaped birthmark on her body. It would be dangerous if he found out about it.

Ye Xuanzhi was a little confused when Gong Yuhee suddenly asked this question.

"How do you know grandpa likes wine?" Gong Yuhee repeated the question.

"I don't know grandpa likes wine." Ye Xuanzhi was a little embarrassed as she rubbed the corner of her clothes. She said in a low voice, "It's just that I don't have the money to buy any expensive gifts now, so I took two bottles of grandpa's wine as a gift. Luckily grandpa doesn't mind..."

Speaking up to this point, she paused for a moment, as if she suddenly realized that Gong Yuhee might be worried that the wine was not clean, so she quickly said, "Although grandpa's wine was brewed by himself, the hygiene can be guaranteed. And the taste is also very good. If you don't believe me, I still have a bottle in my hand. You can check and taste it."

"Won't he be angry if you take away the wine that grandpa has kept for more than 20 years?" Gong Yuhee frowned and asked in a low voice.

Of course, he was not worried that the wine was not good. After all, he had smelled it when grandpa opened the bottle cap. The fragrance of the wine was overflowing. It was rich and mellow. It was good wine when smelled. This kind of good wine only had a little bit of impurities in it, and the taste was a thousand miles away.

Moreover, this kind of good wine had been kept in the wine cellar for more than 20 years, and its value wasn't any lower than thousands or tens of thousands of wines on the market. He noticed that this girl had used the word 'take', and he was worried that she would be blamed.

After all, hearing this girl's words, her life in her mother's house was not easy.

"It won't." Ye Xuanzhi's face revealed a relaxed smile and softly said, "This wine was originally given to me by Grandfather. He has always doted on me the most. Even my name was personally given to me by him."

"Oh?" Gong Yuhee heard her and frowned imperceptibly. "You are the child of the Ye Family. Why did Grandfather give you your name?"

Ye Xuanzhi's smile froze. There was a trace of panic in her eyes when she looked at him.

She did not know how to explain her background.

Gong Yuhee's dark eyes swept over. His eyes were enough to see through people's hearts. Ye Xuanzhi knew that she did not have the chance to lie at all.

"When I was young, I lived in the public house. I was only brought back to the Ye family when I was 11 years old." Ye Xuanzhi clenched her fingers, but her tone was very calm. "Ye Yanran and I are actually sisters of the same father and half mother."

Although they were sisters, they were actually completely different existences.

Ye Xuanzhi was clearly Ye Zhen's first daughter, the child of Ye Zhen and his original wife, Shen Meng. It was just that Ye Xuanzhi was just born a month ago and Shen Meng passed away. In less than a week, Bai Xinqing entered the Ye Family's main gate. Ye Xuanzhi, this child that did not have a biological mother to take care of, was treated as a burden and sent back to her grandfather's house.

Ye Zhen did not even give her a name. Her name was given by her grandfather.

For more than ten years, Ye Zhen had never visited her or given her a single cent of living expenses. Ye Xuanzhi was like a forgotten child living in the Shen family. She did not even know that she had a father.

Until her eleventh birthday. On the day of her eleventh birthday, a beautiful car drove to her grandfather's house. An amiable middle-aged man walked out of the car. When he saw her, his face was full of guilt. He said that he was her biological father, Ye Zhen. He must take her home.

Although the Ye family announced to the public that Ye Xuanzhi was Ye Zhen and Bai Xinqing's eldest daughter, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that this eldest daughter and second daughter's treatment were not ordinary.

Although Ye Xuanzhi was crowned as the eldest daughter of the Ye Family, in reality, she could not even compare to a single finger of Ye Yanran.

Ye Yanran had been practicing violin and piano since she was young. She attended the ball of socialites in Yue City. She dressed elegantly and majestically as a reserved and noble princess, accepting the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd.

Ye Xuanzhi, on the other hand, was taught to sing and dance. She was even asked to practice makeup and drink. At such a young age, she was dressed like a delicate doll. She was then brought to various banquet parties by Ye Zhen. She knew all kinds of big shots and bosses, toasting and eating to please others.

Even if she did not compare herself with Ye Yanran, Ye Xuanzhi knew it very well. This is not the life of a young lady of the Ye family. She is more of a young lady of the Ye family than a young lady of the Ye family. It would be better to say that she was a tool that Ye Zhen had trained. He didn't bring her back to the Ye family to make up for the debt he owed her over the past ten years. Instead, he wanted her to be an exquisite, obedient and loyal tool to exchange for more resources for the Ye Family.

She did not even live as well as a servant in the Ye Family. The living expenses of the university could not even compare to Ye Yanran's daily allowance. This time, if Ye Yanran had not heard the unacceptable rumors about Gong Yuhee and went back on her marriage with the Gong Family, it would not have been her Ye Xuanzhi's turn to have such a good thing.

Ye Xuanzhi had tried her best to speak gently, but the bitterness and helplessness between her words were like the fragrance of the wine back then, easily overflowing. Gong Yuhee already knew that Ye Xuanzhi's status in the Ye family was not high, and she was even ostracized by her stepmother and younger sister. All of the Ye family's status and glory were Ye Yanran's, and their love and happiness were cut off from her.

The air was a little heavy for a moment. After a long time, Gong Yuhee's low voice sounded, "Actually, my experience is similar to yours. My mother has passed away for more than ten years."

Ye Xuanzhi looked up in surprise at this calm man. She was not only surprised by his sudden words, but also surprised that he actually had such a background.

Wasn't he the youngest child of the Gong Family's first wife, Feng Wanqin? The outside world said that Gong Yuhee was the son that Gong Nansi and Feng Wanqin had painstakingly obtained. Because the Gong Family's eldest wife only had two daughters, Gong Nansi had always wanted a son. The first wife, Feng Wanqin, had finally given birth to Gong Yuhee despite her forty years of age.

Why did he say that his mother had died more than ten years ago?

Could it be that he was joking with her? However, Ye Xuanzhi quickly denied her idea. This young and famous young master Gong was not someone who could casually joke around, much less make such a joke.

Furthermore, his expression did not seem like he was joking.
