"Hm." The old lady narrowed her eyes and sized her up. "Little Girl, can you do me a favor?"

"Oh, go ahead."

"My reading glasses are on top of that, can you help me take them off? I can't see without reading glasses. " the old woman said.

"Of course." Pei Qingcheng looked around and asked, "Where are your reading glasses?"

The old woman pointed at the top of her head, and Pei Qingcheng looked at the tree in surprise.

In the light of the lanterns, she saw a pair of shiny glasses on a tall branch.

So it was there, but why was the reading glasses on the tree?

Before Pei Qingcheng could ask, the old lady pulled her towards the tree trunk. "Can you help me take it down? Without my glasses, I'm like a blind person. I almost fell into the ditch just now."

Where did the Ye Family come from?

This old woman meant for Pei Qingcheng to climb the tree?

Feeling awkward, Pei Qingcheng looked down at her narrow skirt and high heels before saying to the old lady, "Why don't I find someone to help you get it, or bring a ladder?"

"Who has the time to bother about Mrs. Ye's birthday!" The old woman was unhappy and pursed her lips.

When you're old, you're a bit like a kid.

Pei Qingcheng looked at the old lady and felt that she resembled her grandmother.

Grandma later got senile dementia, and sometimes she was very much like a bothersome child.

So, perhaps even though this old lady was dressed in luxurious clothes, she might still have some sort of senile dementia?

Pei Qingcheng looked around. But today, there weren't enough servants and servants, and even if she brought the waiters from a hotel in Ye Family over, it wouldn't be enough. She probably didn't have time to care about this old lady who was alone.

Anyway, she almost made a fool of herself today.

She thought for a moment, then took off her high heels, tied a knot on her skirt, and climbed up while hugging the tree trunk.

Pei Qingcheng could climb trees. She had been like a boy since childhood. When she was young, she had climbed all the trees in the garden.

Soon, Pei Qingcheng climbed to the top of the tree, her reading glasses in front of her eyes.

She reached out her hand to take it, then took off her reading glasses.

The old woman tilted her head back under the tree, laughing until her eyes were like slits.

Five minutes later, Pei Qingcheng climbed down from the tree and handed her reading glasses to the old woman. "Here you go."

"Thank you, Little Girl. Don't look so cultured and gentle. It's quite nimble to climb trees." The old woman happily took the reading glasses and put them on her face. "Oh, Little Girl, you're so beautiful!"

I didn't see what Pei Qingcheng looked like just now.

Pei Qingcheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She supported herself by the tree trunk and put on her high heels before putting down her skirt and saying to the old lady, "Then I'll be leaving first."

"Little Girl, can you help me with another matter?"

"Huh?"

"My woolen shawl is also on the tree!" The old woman pointed again to the tree above her head.

Pei Qingcheng raised her head again. Sure enough, she saw a light curly-colored woolen shawl on a branch on the other side of the tree.

It wasn't too far from the branch that held the reading glasses, but Pei Qingcheng didn't notice.

She looked at the old woman helplessly. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You have to say everything one by one. You have to do things one by one." The old lady spoke seriously.

From the looks of it, he was indeed showing signs of dementia.

What should he do? Just got off the tree, and again?

Seeing the old lady's eager gaze, Pei Qingcheng had no choice but to take off her high heels, tie up her skirt and climb up the tree again.

The old lady clapped under the tree. "Go for it! Go for it!"

She still tried her best not to call people over.

He had let her see the number one beauty of the Mo City, Pei Qingcheng, actually climbing trees of the Ye Family?

Besides, she had another identity, Ye Juan's wife.

If news of this got out, Mrs. Ye would probably hate her even more.

Pei Qingcheng was already sweating profusely after getting her woolen shawl. She simply took off her coat and threw it down the tree.

She handed the shawl to the old woman, who panted and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

The old lady raised her head and looked at her. "Such a natural beauty. Even when you use all your strength to wipe off your sweat, your forehead is still white. It's clear that you didn't do this much."

Should Pei Qingcheng praise her observation?

"The shawl is for you. You should go back to the hall. It's cold outside." Pei Qingcheng was really about to leave. After being tormented by the old lady for so long, her sad mood didn't seem to be that bad anymore.

"Little Girl, can you do me another favor?" Pei Qingcheng had just turned around when she heard the old lady's words.

Pei Qingcheng broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this.

Could it be that the old lady wanted her to climb the tree again?

She turned unsteadily and looked at the smiling old lady.

Why did he feel that her smile was so evil?

The old lady giggled, "He's old and has a bad memory. Don't you remember how he left the main hall? Can you send me there?"

Pei Qingcheng heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, she was not climbing a tree.

But, wasn't the Ye Family Big House right in front of them?

Pei Qingcheng pointed at the brightly lit mansion. "Look, just follow this road."

"I don't recognize him." The old lady shook her head like a rattle.

Pei Qingcheng sighed. It seemed that she wouldn't let the old lady off so easily.

In any case, the tree had climbed twice, so why should he be afraid of sending the old lady for a few steps?

Pei Qingcheng held onto the old lady's arm and said, "Then, let's go. Let me help you."

In Ye Family hall, he had already let go of the fireworks, and they were about to cut the cake soon.

Mrs. Ye was happily chatting with a few friends when Shen Tiaotiao walked over and reminded her softly, "Aunt, it's almost time to cut the cake."

"Alright." Mrs. Ye smiled as she stood up from the sofa. "Come, let's cut the cake together."

After a few steps, a girl pushed her way to Mrs. Ye with a small box in her hand. She held it up high and said, "Mrs. Ye, happy birthday! This is a gift that I've carefully chosen for you!"

Mrs. Ye jumped in fright and retreated backwards.

Shen Tiaotiao whispered in her ear, "It's the Tang Clan's Second Miss, Tang Kexin."

"Oh." Mrs. Yecai, still in a panicked state, gave a smile and said, "Oh, it's Miss Tang. You're quite considerate."

Shen Tiaotiao took Tang Kexin's gift, but Mrs. Ye didn't immediately open it.

Tang Kexin's smile was bright and sweet. "Mrs. Ye, I've long heard from Qingcheng that you're a noble and devastatingly beautiful woman. It looks like it's true today."

It was unknown if it was intentional or not, but Tang Kexin said Pei Qingcheng's name.

Mrs. Ye's smile immediately froze. Tang Kexin had seen all of it.

From Mrs. Ye's expression, Tang Kexin was able to guess a thing or two.

Mrs. Ye didn't like Pei Qingcheng very much.

"Miss Tang, please don't be so polite. We'll cut the cake soon. Eat more." Mrs. Ye casually said a few words of courtesy before walking towards the center of the hall.

However, Tang Kexin followed closely behind, "Of course, of course. I must eat more to help Mo Qingcheng eat her share as well."

Mrs. Ye finally understood the essence of her words. "Help Mo Qingcheng eat it?"

"Oh, yes, she's gone!" Tang Kexin opened her eyes wide and said, "I might feel bored staying, so I'll be leaving!"

Mrs. Ye looked around. From the start, when she first saw Pei Qingcheng, she was nowhere to be seen.

At this time, Ye Juan came down from upstairs. Ding Hann was beside him, but there was no trace of Pei Qingcheng.

Mrs. Ye's face immediately darkened.

Although the outside world didn't know much about the relationship between Ye Juan and Pei Qingcheng.

Very few of the guests tonight knew that Pei Qingcheng was her daughter-in-law.

Although Mrs. Ye didn't admit it, Pei Qingcheng leaving without saying goodbye was a completely different matter.

It was obvious that he didn't respect her and didn't place any importance on her.

Since he didn't want to come, he might as well not come tonight. Why did he leave after coming for so long?

Mrs. Ye's expression was unsightly. Although she had quickly calmed down, Tang Kexin could tell that Mrs. Ye was unhappy with just a glance.

She took Mrs. Ye's arm affectionately. "Mrs. Ye, let's cut the cake!"

It was as if Pei Qingcheng could become Mrs. Ye's daughter-in-law if she wasn't with her.

Shen Tiaotiao blocked Tang Kexin's hand with a straight face and said with a smile, "Miss Tang, please stay here and wait for the cake to be shared."

With that, Shen Tiaotiao supported Mrs. Ye to the center of the hall.

Tang Kexin stood on the spot, embarrassed.

Shen Tiaotiao didn't give her any face. The chance to get close to Mrs. Ye had been ruined.

However, he had at least sent a message to Mrs. Ye.

Pei Qingcheng didn't take her seriously at all, only showing her face before leaving.

She smiled triumphantly and looked back.

Suddenly, he froze.

Because she was enveloped in a cold gaze, as if she was frozen in an ice pillar, the temperature of her body rapidly dropped.

That person was Ye Juan.

He stood beside Mrs. Ye, the light of the luxurious crystal lamp above his head shining on the top of his head.

It was as though a deity had descended from the heavens, able to kill her with just his gaze.

Even though he yearned to see that face, Ye Juan's eyes were too cold. They seemed to contain content as if two sharp swords could stab into Tang Kexin's chest and dig out her heart to take a look.

Tang Kexin panicked and immediately buried her head.

Her fingers were trembling because it was obvious that the hall of Ye Family was as warm as spring.

However, no matter what, the impression that Pei Qingcheng had in Mrs. Ye's mind today was finished.

The corners of Tang Kexin's mouth curled up into a smile.

Shen Tiaotiao handed the kitchen knife to Mrs. Ye. "I've cut the cake, Aunt."

Mrs. Ye held onto her kitchen knife, and glanced at her son who stood straight as a tree, and asked casually, "Am I going to cut it just like that? Not waiting for my daughter-in-law? "

"Cut it. Qing Qing doesn't like this kind of light cream." Ye Juan said casually.

Mrs. Ye couldn't help but frown. "What? Do you think I have neglected your wife with this kind of cake?"

Shen Tiaotiao was listening by the side, smiling as she tried to smooth things over. "Aunt, the guests are all waiting!"

The large living room was packed with people singing birthday songs while looking at Mrs. Ye.

In front of so many people, Mrs. Ye could only smile. Mr. Ye also said, "Cut it out!"

Mrs. Ye picked up her kitchen knife and prepared to cut the cake.

Suddenly, a voice came from the door, full of vigor.

"My daughter-in-law, did you cut the cake without waiting for me?"
