Chapter 8: Sister

At this moment, Ye Xuan couldn’t bear it anymore and interjected, “Auntie, why are you looking for our teacher? Do you want the teacher to teach you how to make your children accept your chaotic personal life?”

Ye Xuan didn’t have a good impression of Su Mengli’s parents. In the future, although no one knew exactly what Su Mengli had experienced, one thing was certain: after becoming an SSS-class Awakener, her parents didn’t benefit at all.

If her parents had been more competent, which child who became successful wouldn’t help their own parents?

This Zhang Xiulan was not on the same level as Empress Su. Ye Xuan had no reservations about confronting her.

Zhang Xiulan glared at Ye Xuan and said, “Who are you? This is our family matter. Is it necessary for a little brat like you to butt in? I know! Are you dating my daughter? Did she stay with you last night?”

Zhang Xiulan’s voice was loud, and when these words came out, the classmates were shocked by the scene.

In this era, although there were many high school students in relationships, engaging in sexual activities was still quite distant for most students.

Now it was being revealed by Su Mengli’s mother herself. It was truly explosive!

Su Mengli’s face turned ugly as she shouted loudly, “Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Ye Xuan also said, “Auntie, you don’t deserve to be called a mother. What kind of mother would defame her own daughter like this?”

Zhang Xiulan looked at her daughter’s increased hostility towards her and regretted it a bit. She directly said, “Girl, I’m your mother. I’m just worried that you’ll go astray. Let’s go outside and talk!”

Saying that, Zhang Xiulan pulled Su Mengli away, and Ye Xuan followed.

Soon, the three of them arrived outside the school. Zhang Xiulan glared at Ye Xuan and said, “Why are you still following? What right do you have to meddle in my family affairs?”

This time, Su Mengli didn’t remain silent. “Ye Xuan is my friend. He has every right!”

Zhang Xiulan angrily said, “You brat! I knew you must be dating him! You’re trying to go against me, aren’t you? Let me tell you, boys your age can’t be relied upon. Back then, I made a mistake by marrying your father. Look at the life I’m living now! In this world, if you don’t have money, you’re worse off than a dog!”

Ye Xuan looked at Zhang Xiulan and said, “Auntie, Su Mengli and I don’t have the kind of relationship you imagine. Even if we did, I would meet your requirements.”

Zhang Xiulan glanced at Ye Xuan and asked, “What do you mean?”

Ye Xuan began to introduce himself: “My dad is the CEO of a company, and my sister is a top lawyer. We live in a detached villa. Even if we really became boyfriend and girlfriend, I can guarantee that she won’t worry about food or clothing.”

Zhang Xiulan’s expression changed after hearing this. “Are you telling the truth?”

If her daughter really managed to catch a golden turtle son-in-law like this, it would be great news for her. She could have hope for the rest of her life.

Su Mengli looked at her mother’s changing expression with a hint of annoyance in her eyes. “Whether it’s true or not doesn’t matter to you. Ye Xuan, sorry for bothering you yesterday. I’ll go back home now.”

Su Mengli didn’t really want to go back, but she felt that her mother was too embarrassing.

If she stayed in front of Ye Xuan for another minute, she would feel like she had become more ugly in front of him. She didn’t want to continue this any longer!

Since Su Mengli spoke up, Ye Xuan didn’t say anything else. He just said, “Alright then, be careful on your way home. Call me if you need anything.”

Su Mengli nodded and followed Zhang Xiulan back home.

Ye Xuan originally planned to go straight home, but unexpectedly, his sister Ye Xue called him: “Little brother, didn’t you let your girlfriend stay at my place? Why is no one at home? Did you guys go on a date?”

Ye Xuan explained, “Where did that happen? She stayed overnight yesterday and has already gone back.”

Ye Xue was also surprised. “Just one day? What happened?”

Ye Xuan replied calmly, “It’s not convenient to talk on the phone. Let’s meet face-to-face. I’ve missed you, sis.”

Half an hour later, the siblings met at a hot pot restaurant. Ye Xue was dressed in a white suit as usual, looking like a beautiful lawyer.

She had a tall figure and was even taller than Su Mengli when wearing high heels. In terms of looks, Ye Xue was quite stunning and only slightly inferior to the future Empress Su Mengli.

Unfortunately, Ye Xuan knew that his sister’s fate wasn’t so good.

Ye Xue used to be a lawyer with a very good social status and many pursuers.

However, after the resurgence of spiritual energy and the rise of Awakeners as the protagonists of the world, all other industries—even elite professionals—became supporting roles. Ye Xue was no exception.

Later on, because Ye Xuan provoked an enemy, his parents’ safety was threatened. In her confusion, Ye Xue chose to marry one of her pursuers in order to seek protection for her family.

Unfortunately, Ye Xue chose the wrong person. Shortly after their marriage, that Awakener, relying on his A-class ability, began to flirt with other women.

As for Ye Xue, he quickly grew tired of her after their marriage and didn’t even care about her anymore.

That guy didn’t even lend a hand to help the Ye family solve their troubles. This made Ye Xue quite angry, and they often quarreled. In one argument, that person killed Ye Xue.

At that time, the Ye family still had some power left and combined with Ye Xue being a well-known lawyer, they launched a public opinion campaign to seek justice for their daughter.

Unfortunately, at that time, it was already the era of Awakeners ruling everything and the threat of exotic beasts had emerged.

In the end, that person who killed Ye Xue was only sentenced to go to the frontlines and fight against exotic beasts. If he survived for five years, his crime of murder would be considered absolved. If he died, it would be considered an eye for an eye and everything would be settled.

Now seeing his sister again, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but clench his fists.

In this life, he must not let his sister suffer such a fate! As for those former enemies…he wouldn’t let any of them off!

When the siblings met each other’s gaze, Ye Xue smiled and said, “Why are you looking at me so affectionately? Do you want some pocket money?”

Ye Xuan laughed and said, “Sis, you know me too well. Can I borrow some money?”

Ye Xue directly took out three or four thousand yuan from her wallet and said, “This is all I have right now. Spend it wisely. Now, tell me about your girlfriend!”

Ye Xuan didn’t hide anything from his sister and roughly explained Su Mengli’s situation.

Of course, he didn’t mention the existence of the system, only saying that he sympathized with this classmate of his.

After listening to this, Ye Xue smiled and said, “Your classmate must be quite beautiful, right? Do you have any pictures?”
