After hearing Ye Xiyue's words, everyone's expressions changed slightly and they all frowned.
Why is her reaction completely different from what was expected?
Not only was there no trace of nervousness or panic, but it seemed as if... I had been looking forward to this scene for a long time.
Everyone exchanged glances calmly, none of them understood what song Ye Xiyue was singing.
And - why did Cheng Yu come with them?
Finally, a tall and lanky young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties spoke first:
"It seems that Miss Ye is not surprised that we appear here?"
Ye Xiyue seemed to have heard something funny, blinked and asked:
"Everyone should have clearly seen the call for help just now. Isn't it normal for you to come here?"
This means knowing that they will come, but still choosing to come to save people.
A look of ridicule flashed across the young man's face: "I didn't expect that a person with a foreign surname like Miss Ye would have such deep affection for the Pei family. It's really touching."
He said it pleasantly, but in fact the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of sarcasm, and he almost didn't directly say that Ye Xiyue had thrown herself into a trap and was extremely stupid.
Ye Xiyue didn't seem to hear the condescension in his words at all. She sighed softly and nodded sincerely:
"I was previously grateful for the kindness from my senior brother. After I came to Lanling, General Pei took great care of me. I am grateful in my heart and naturally want to repay this friendship. Besides - if I really put them in danger and ignore it, then
...Don’t I want you all to wait for this in vain?”
Everyone could hear the sarcasm in these words.
The young man's face turned cold, and the expressions of everyone around him also became quite dangerous.
The atmosphere was condensed and tense, as if there was an invisible taut string that could break at any time.
The young man laughed angrily: "I didn't expect Miss Ye to be so courageous and confident in herself."
Ye Xiyue clearly didn't take so many of them seriously!
Ye Xiyue's beautiful eyes curved:
"Thanks for the compliment."
The more she talks and laughs freely, the more relaxed and calm she is, the more she annoys the people opposite her.
It was like a punch hitting cotton, and I felt extremely aggrieved.
The tall and thin young man turned his eyes slightly and glanced over Pei Qingyu.
Pei Qingyu is very powerful. There are very few people of his age in Lanling City who can compare with him.
Many people actually dislike him - who doesn't know that he has been kept outside since he was a child, and his resources and conditions are not as good as those of the Pei family, let alone the other children of the top five aristocratic families.
The younger generations of those aristocratic families are also much inferior.
No one took Pei Qingyu seriously, and even before he came back, no one remembered that there was such a number one figure in the Pei family.
However, it happened that Pei Qingyu was like this, with amazing talent and good luck. He easily crossed the threshold that many people could not break through through hard training.
How can such a person not make people feel unfair and jealous?
"Pei Qingyu, she is young and ignorant, but even you can't figure out the situation?"
The tall and thin young man spoke coldly, with a condescending attitude.
Pei Qingyu looked gentle and even smiled slightly: "Junior sister agreed to come with me to save people. I'm so grateful that it's too late. Why can't she be sensible? In addition, I'm not very clear about what your so-called situation is.
What does it refer to?”
This is a deliberate provocation!
The young man tightened his fists, looked at Cheng Yu, and asked in a loud voice:
"Mr. Cheng, I forgot to ask, how did you come with them?"
