Ye Tian was in an awkward spot and said, "Those words were meant for Ye Youyou. Just help me pass the gist of the message to her, will you, Qianqian?"
"Oh… Is that so?" Ye Qianqian's tone sounded as if she were deliberating over something.
Ye Tian was uncertain and asked again, "Can you help me pass the message?"
"How will passing the message benefit me?" Ye Qianqian asked. It was clear from her tone that she was enjoying this.
Ye Tian grew vexed. This lass was so ill-mannered and ill-bred. She thought, How on earth did Ye Zhenhua bring this child up that she was of this ilk?
Ye Tian took a deep breath and ingratiatingly said, "The next time you come to the Capital for a visit, Mommy will take some time out for you, OK? Whatever you want, just let me know, and I'll buy it for you. If you have any difficulties in life, you only have to say the word. We are mother and daughter. You don't have to keep a distance from me."
