Heh heh!
Bai Xiao sneered, "This photo has been Photoshopped!"
First of all, the registration date was yesterday. She was still in Country A when the civil affairs office was open yesterday. Secondly, it's impossible for her to sit that close to Ye Huang and take a photo.
Maybe even the marriage certificate is fake!
Bai Xiao looked up at the clock: eight in the morning. In a little while, the civil affairs office would be open. She had to go and find out whether this certificate was real or fake!
If it turned out to be fake... heh heh! Ye Huang would be finished!
She intended to charge him with fraudulent marriage and date rape and have him thrown into the police station!
Password, she imagined a scene where Ye Huang, faced with a great disaster, knelt before her, begging her to drop the charges. She couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha..."
"Little sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?"
Just then, a small head poked in from outside the door, asking curiously.
With bright eyes and fine features, her delicate and beautiful little face bore a faint resemblance to Ye Huang. This person was Ye Huang's sister, Ye Linglong—the only daughter of the Ye Family, treated like a princess since birth.
Seven years ago, the last time Bai Xiao visited the Ye Family was for Ye Linglong's birthday celebration; she was only eight years old then. By count, she should be fifteen this year.
"Linglong?" Bai Xiao hurriedly put the marriage certificate back and walked towards Ye Linglong, "Long time no see, aren't you going to school today?"
"Long time no see."
Ye Linglong also came out from behind the door and hugged Bai Xiao.
"Little sister-in-law, my brother asked me to call you down for breakfast," Ye Linglong said gently. Unlike Ye Huang's domineering ruthlessness, Ye Linglong was a very gentle and kind girl.
"Okay." Bai Xiao felt warmth in her heart and took Ye Linglong's hand by initiative, asking as they walked downstairs, "Linglong, do you know how I got to your house last night?"
Ye Linglong hesitated in her steps, her gaze flickering incessantly, "Yesterday was your and elder brother's wedding! Of course, you came in through the front door."
"Even you're lying to me!" Bai Xiao said helplessly, "I didn't land until twelve o'clock last night. There's no way there was a wedding."
Seeing she couldn't fool her, Ye Linglong let go of Bai Xiao's hand and ran far ahead, laughing, "Hahaha, so you remember! Anyway, I don't know anything, if you want to know, go ask elder brother!"
"..."
Bai Xiao's mouth twitched.
Ye Linglong seemed to think of something and said kindly, "But little sister-in-law, grandma just got out of the hospital yesterday. You need to be careful, okay? You know what to say and do... Don't upset grandma!"
Indeed, there must be evil afoot! Ye Huang was that evil! Humph! Once she found evidence of the fraudulent marriage at the civil affairs office, she would transform into a Daoist priest and catch Ye Huang, that evil creature!
For now, though...
Gurgle! Bai Xiao touched her stomach: from boarding the plane yesterday afternoon until now, she hadn't eaten a grain of rice. People regard food as their heaven, so she better fill her stomach before anything else.
Moreover, she truly didn't dare to upset Lady Ye.
——————
The Ye Family's home was vast and luxurious.
Yet Bai Xiao was no stranger to this place. She navigated her way to the living room effortlessly; even after seven years, she still knew the Ye Family's servants.
"Hi, Housekeeper Qin!"
"Good morning, young madam!" Housekeeper Qin greeted courteously.
Bai Xiao's lips curled up, about to say something when Lady Ye heard her voice and called out from the dining room, "Little Xiao, come here."
So Bai Xiao went to the dining room. She recognized Nanny Wang from the kitchen and greeted her, "Good morning, Nanny Wang!"
"Good morning, young madam, please take a seat." Nanny Wang's face was full of smiles as she placed a freshly made bowl of bird's nest porridge in front of Bai Xiao, right beside where Ye Huang would sit.
At the long dining table, the Old Madam sat at the head, with Ye Huang and Ye Linglong sitting next to her. Ye Huang's parents and elder brother Ye Qing, however, were nowhere to be seen.
"Little Xiao, take a seat!" Lady Ye watched Bai Xiao with a smile.
"Okay." Bai Xiao smiled back at Lady Ye and sat down next to Ye Linglong.
