Chapter 2

Yao Yiyi drove to Ou Qingheng's parents' house after sending him to work the next day. The housekeeper, Uncle Li, welcomed her with a smile and said, "You're finally back, Young Madam. Madam keeps talking about you these days."

Yao Yiyi got down from the car and smiled at him. "How is she? I miss Mom's cooking a lot as I've been abroad for a month. That's why I'm back so soon."

Returning her smile, Uncle Li said, "Madam is in the pink of health. She's just a bit bored, as both Master and Young Master are busy with work."

"Since I'm back, mom won't be bored anymore."

Then, Yao Yiyi went inside the house with her high heels on.

Located halfway up the hillside, the Ou's family house was a huge villa covering a vast thousand square meters of land. As for the Ou family, Madam Ou was blessed with a son and daughter. Her son was none other than Ou Qingheng, and her daughter was Ou Tingting. Madam Ou herself was already 60 years old, but thanks to her excellent skincare routine, she looked like a woman in her early forties.

Apart from Ou Tingting's slight prejudice towards Yao Yiyi, the Ou family were very good to her, especially Madam Ou, who loved her like her own daughter. However, up to this day, Madam Ou was still unaware that her marriage with Ou Qingheng was just a show.

Who would Yao Yiyi miss the most after her divorce? It would probably be Madam Ou.

Madam Ou did not possess the type of arrogance often seen in most wealthy women. Apart from being a very easy-going person, she was also a dignified and big-hearted lady. This made her very easy to talk to.

"Mum." Yao Yiyi called out sweetly to the elegant lady who was sitting on the sofa.

Seeing that it was Yao Yiyi, Madam Ou gave her a warm smile and said, "You're back? Come, have a seat."

Yao Yiyi walked over and snuggled next to Madam Ou. After looking at her from head to toe, Madam Ou said, "Why have you gotten thinner?"

"That's because I didn't get to eat mom's cooking for a while."

Delighted with her reply, Madam Ou grinned. "I'll cook some of your favorite dishes later to make it up to you."

"You're the best, mom," replied Yao Yiyi winsomely, like a young girl.

"Urgh, can you stop acting all cute and winsome at this age? It's disgusting."

An annoying female voice was suddenly heard. Despite this, Yao Yiyi did not have to look up to know who the owner of this voice was.

"Tingting, mind your manners! You should greet your sister-in-law when you see her." Madam Ou said with a frown.

Sneering coldly, Ou Tingting replied, "She's not my sister-in-law, she's just a woman Brother ‘bought’ back."

Madam Ou's expression darkened visibly. She then said, "Stop talking like that or I'll get angry."

Thus, Ou Tingting sat down and stopped talking.

Rather than get angry at her, Yao Yiyi spoke to her with a smile, "Tingting, I heard from Qingheng that you went for a trip to Paris. When did you come back?"

Not wanting to embarrass Madam Ou, Ou Tingting reluctantly replied, "The day before."

Suddenly, she piped up in a sadistic tone, as if she had thought of something pleasant, "Sister-in-law, do you know who I bumped into during my trip to Paris?"

Yao Yiyi's guard instantly went up. Ou Tingting was sure to harbor some ulterior motives when she addressed Yao Yiyi as 'sister-in-law'.

"Did you bump into your friend?" Yao Yiyi asked cautiously.

"I ran into Yang Kexin. Sister-in-law, you know who she is, right?" Ou Tingting continued to say in an excited tone, "Oh right, I don't think you know her. She's Brother's..."

Giving her a death stare, Madam Ou snapped, "Tingting, what on earth are you talking about?!"
