Ye Shu was someone who knew when to advance and when to retreat.
Had Huo Shenting not rushed over today, she would not have asked Ye Wenzhao about this matter again. After all, thoroughly irritating Ye Wenzhao would bring her no benefit, and it might even enable Tian Xin and her daughter to reap quite a few benefits from the situation.
They were just waiting for her and Ye Wenzhao to completely fall out so that eventually, if Ye Wenzhao disowned her, everything of the Ye family would become theirs.
But since Huo Shenting had come and, setting aside past grievances, stood by her side, she naturally had to take advantage of the fact that Ye Wenzhao was wary of him at the moment to get what she wanted—that was her move forward.
If she chose to be weak this time, this man might not be willing to stand by her side the next time. The strong may pity the weak, but they never respect them.
