She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

There is a conflict between Sister Min and Mr. Yuan.

This conflict is not because of Mrs. Su.

Mrs. Su was just a small episode, and she could only make Sister Min so angry that she ignored Mr. Yuan. It did not lead to Sister Min not seeing Mr. Yuan for more than ten years, and living in a foreign country with him for so many years.

I know that what caused the stalemate between Sister Min and Mr. Yuan for such a long time was Mr. Yuan’s ex-wife, or in other words, the existence of Yuan family’s eldest son Yuan Youan and Yuan family’s eldest daughter Yuan Jianing.

So, I guess that last night Sister Min must have had a falling out with Mr. Yuan again because of Yuan Youan.

But Ono asked the wrong person. How could this servant know what Yuan Youan wanted to do with Mr. Yuan?

Even if he really knew, he couldn't say it.

Sure enough, the servant coughed lightly and shook his head: "The master and the eldest young master were talking in the study. I don't know what they talked about."

Ono's expression became even uglier.

But he stopped asking, pursed his lips and took my hand to the main hall.

I looked at his furrowed brows and gloomy face, and became more worried.

Sister Min and Mr. Yuan had a quarrel over Yuan Youan. Will Ono quarrel with Mr. Yuan when he sees him later?

In the main hall, Mr. Yuan and Sister Min stood together.

When they saw Xiao Ye and I coming in, they stood up together, all with smiles on their faces: "Xu Xu, you're here."

"Yes, I'm here to visit Uncle Yuan and Sister Min." I smiled and nodded, but my eyes fell on their shoulders that were touching each other.

It's strange. The servant just said that Sister Min and Mr. Yuan had a quarrel again last night. Sister Min even sent Mr. Yuan to the study to sleep. But now the couple are standing side by side, clearly looking intimate and harmonious.

Could it be that these two just had a fight and then made up?

Ono's eyes and mine were examining the two of them. I was secretly worried and couldn't help but gently pull his hand.

I was really worried that he would question the elder out of impulse.

But Ono didn't. His expression was calm: "We will come back together to see you."

Sister Min raised her eyebrows and glanced at him: "Look at us?"

I guess she's still upset about how Xiao Ye made her angry and kicked her out of the house last night.

"Well, the point is to apologize to my respected mother." Xiao Ye's lips curved slightly, he leaned forward and bowed to Sister Min, "I'm sorry, mother, it was my son's bad attitude last night that made you unhappy."

"You little bastard, do you still know that I'm your mother? How can you treat your own mother like that?" Sister Min slapped Xiaoye on the head. Although she was cursing, she couldn't help but smile with her eyes.

She took my arm and said with a smile: "But this time, for Xuxu's sake, I won't bother with you. As long as you can bring Xuxu home, I'll be happy."

Xiao Ye accompanied him and laughed: "It's because my baby has face. As long as my baby is here, I will be safe."

"You little brat, it's good that you know." Sister Min snorted, then pulled my hand and smiled, "By the way, Xuxu, your mother is coming home today too. I've arranged a car to pick her up. You can try my cooking at noon. I use all the pure green vegetables from our small vegetable garden."

"Okay, then my godmother and I will have a treat today." My godmother will also come. This was our early morning arrangement and it was within my expectations.

While I was talking, I was paying close attention to the changes in Xiao Ye's expression. I saw that Xiao Ye looked normal and was talking to me and Sister Min. Occasionally, he turned around and chatted with the old man.

From beginning to end, Ono never mentioned Yuan Youan, nor did he ask about what happened last night, as if he had never heard about the quarrel between Sister Min and Mr. Yuan last night.

Such silence really surprised me.

But I just remained silent for a moment and then I understood.

Ono has never been a person with a bad temper. He is just a little impatient because he can't control his worry and nervousness about my affairs. But in fact, he is rational and calm.

He must have his own ideas and ways of dealing with Yuan Youan, so he kept silent about it for the time being.

Considering this perspective, the relationship between the brothers Ono and Yuan Youan should be very unusual.

My godmother came with Zhang Tingyuan. She exchanged a few words with Sister Min and Mr. Yuan, then used the excuse of going to the bathroom to pull me along.

At the sink, she asked me seriously, "Xu Xu, have you really thought it through? Do you want to take things a step further with Xiao Ye? Marriage is a big deal for everyone, and I hope you'll be careful."

"I've made up my mind, godmother. I've remembered what you said to me last time. Xiaoye is a good boy and a man worthy of my trust. I want to give him a status as soon as possible so that he can feel safe." My tone was equally serious. "Besides, I've also consulted my aunt and uncle. They both like Xiaoye very much, and they can feel at ease if we get engaged sooner."

I have indeed thought carefully about the engagement. Ever since that day when Ono and I were in the car and he gave me the first kiss on my forehead, I have been sure of my feelings: no one loves me more than Ono. He is so outstanding and mature. He had guessed everything long ago but still chose me as firmly as before. I have no reason not to choose him.

I should be with him.

I sought the opinions of my family members over the phone. Needless to say, my aunt was satisfied with Ono, and her family was also satisfied. My uncle also felt that since the engagement had been decided, it would make no difference whether it was earlier or later.

I don’t have any other family members, and since everyone supports and encourages me, this matter can be settled.

"Okay, it's better to settle it as soon as possible, otherwise Xiaoye will always be waiting eagerly, looking as pitiful as a puppy." Godmother nodded.

We walked out of the bathroom together, but saw Zhang Tingyuan blocking Xiao Ye at the door, his facial features distorted with anger.

"Wow, you are such an unethical guy. We clearly agreed to get engaged after a while and let my sister stay at my house for a while longer, but you went back on your word and tricked my sister into changing the date and getting her into a trap!"

"Xiaoyuan, you are being unreasonable again. We grew up together. Although we are not related by blood, our relationship is better than those with blood ties. Do you think I am the kind of person who would use tricks in a relationship?" Xiao Ye was also angry, his brows were knitted together, and his tone was very intense.

Seeing him like this, my heart moved.

Ono has never used any tricks on me. I was moved by his sincerity and tolerance.

But at this moment, I was moved by another sentence of his. He said that although he and Xiaoyuan were not related by blood, they were closer than those with blood relations.

That's right. He says whatever he wants to Xiaoyuan. The two of them are always quarreling but they also stand together against the outside world.

But he seemed rational and distant towards his half brother and half sister.
