Let's hurry and find your uncle," Ye Jiu said, walking quickly ahead with urgency, unable to resist complaining, "We were only focused on shopping just now and I completely forgot about your uncle.

"I understand," Ye Wenqing replied without overthinking. After all, he was well aware of Mrs. Zhao's character. Over the years, if not for the strong backing of Mrs. He, perhaps the Ye Family might have been drained by her.
