Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1453: Chapter 1455: Can’t Show Off Anymore

Ye Wanqing did not come back that evening.

As Chiang Xiao was getting ready for bed, she thought perhaps Ye Wanqing was afraid that if she came back, the whole dormitory would know about the incident, maybe she felt like she couldn’t save face?

She scoffed coldly, turned over, and went to sleep.

Meanwhile, Ye Wanqing returned to the Lee family, carrying a bag of sweet rice candies in her hands, approaching her aunt.

”Auntie, I know you like this kind of candy, I saw it on my way back and bought some.”

Mother Lee pulled her to sit down, smiling and said: ”How could I not like Wanqing? You are so considerate and caring. Your uncle is cooking, go wash your hands, I’ll ask him to make an extra dish. But, Wanqing, are you not happy living at school?”

It’s only been a few days since the semester started, and she has already returned twice.

Besides, every time she came back, her eyes seemed a little red.

Could it be that the girl is being bullied at school?

Mother Lee really liked Ye Wanqing, because she was beautiful, gentle, and well-behaved, always so attentive to her. Mother Lee’s fondness for Ye Wanqing even fostered a secret thought, but at that moment, no one knew what she was thinking.

”No, not at all,” Ye Wanqing denied, then felt a tinge of sadness. Actually, she really wished someone would stand up for her, but her uncle was an honest man with no special skills, just a very ordinary worker, and her aunt was a small-time financial officer in a factory with just over a dozen people, with not much to manage.

Their wages were low; if not for the uncle being a local from Capital City and with an old house left by the family, they would probably not be able to afford a house in Capital City now.

Thankfully, the cousin was promising and made it to the city’s publicity department with his own abilities.

That was considered the pride of the Lee family.

However, in Ye Wanqing’s view, she guessed her cousin would not stand out, and that for the rest of his life, he would just earn that small salary in the publicity department.

Others might think that was an enviable position, but Ye Wanqing knew that Lee Wenwei didn’t earn much each month.

She used to think that the Lee family was quite well-off, but after she saw the car driven by Song Wanli, the clothes and shoes he wore, witnessed how Chiang Xiao casually pulled out three thousand yuan, and the way Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili dressed, she realized she had been a frog at the bottom of a well.

The Lee family really wasn’t much in Capital City.

Previously, she had thought about showing off using the Lee family’s status, but now she was worried about her roommates finding out about the Lee family’s actual situation.

She felt like there was no glory of the Lee family she could borrow.

So, she didn’t dare to complain at the Lee family’s house, fearful that Lee Wenwei might actually go to the school to demand justice for her.

However, at this moment, she could only rely on the Lee family; not to mention, when she didn’t want to return to the dormitory, at least she had a place to go in Capital City.

”Then why are your eyes red?” Mother Lee asked.

”I just felt a little homesick,” Ye Wanqing said with her head slightly lowered.

Mother Lee patted the back of her hand and said, ”You are such a filial child. After dinner, let your cousin take you out for a walk, buy you a couple of pieces of clothing. I tell you, when a girl feels down, she should buy something; it makes the heart feel better.”

Ye Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, suddenly feeling that coming back this time was not bad after all.

With auntie speaking, the cousin would definitely take her shopping for clothes.

She also wanted new clothes.

After dinner, Lee Wenwei indeed took her out.

At least Lee Wenwei still had a not-too-old bicycle.

Sitting on the back seat, Ye Wanqing’s thoughts wandered back to the car driven by Song Wanli.
