That’s not a good habit, you have to change it! When did my mom ever invite you to our house for dinner? Can someone like you, a servant’s daughter, even sit at the same table with us?”

“Even if my mom did invite you, wouldn’t you refuse? You can’t possibly think you’re equal to us, right? Why are you so clueless?”

“Dad, Chuyi must be so envious of my life, she probably wants to be your daughter as well. At every opportunity, she’s so eager to cozy up to mom. Actually, mom finds her quite annoying, but she’s never said anything out of respect for Aunt Lin.”

Wen Xingye was worried about not finding a good excuse to send Ye Chuyi away, and upon hearing Wen Nianyou say this, he commented, “If your mom finds her annoying, then send her away. She just got out of the hospital, don’t let her get upset over such trivial matters.”

After he spoke, he closed the car window and drove into the villa.

Empowered by the male master’s command, Lin Yueqin became very arrogant, “Did you hear that? Mr. Wen said Madam finds you annoying and told me to send you away! How thick-skinned are you to still be hanging around here?”

Ye Chuyi didn’t truly believe that Lady Wen’s dinner invitation was mere politeness, but since she couldn’t even enter the villa’s gate, she had no choice but to give up.

As she turned to leave, the gift she was carrying was snatched away by Lin Yueqin.

Ye Chuyi’s gaze turned icy, “What are you doing? That’s not for you!”

“I know, you brought something for Madam because you’re embarrassed to come for a meal uninvited. I’ll accept it on Madam’s behalf and will give it to her later. At least she’ll know that you appreciate her kindness, and you’re thoughtful enough to bring a gift.”

Lin Yueqin then called out to another servant, “Tian Ma, keep these things and show them to Madam.”

Tian Ma took the gifts, standing to the side, somewhat timidly, not saying a word.

Ye Chuyi didn’t say anything more; she couldn’t see Madam, but as long as the gifts reached her, it was fine.

She turned to leave again, but with one step out, her shoulder bag was snatched by Lin Yueqin.

She clenched her hand, “Lin Yueqin, is this ever going to end? Are you seriously trying to take my canvas bag too?”

Lin Yueqin ignored her, rummaged through the bag for a while, and then suddenly burst into joy, “Hahaha, you really have it in your bag! Perfect!”

Ye Chuyi frowned and watched as Lin Yueqin took three invitations to a medical conference out of her bag.

She finally understood why Lin Yueqin was after her bag; it must have been Nianyou’s doing.

Ye Chuyi snatched her bag back and extended her hand toward Lin Yueqin, “Give the invitations back to me. They’re useless to you.”

“They’re useless to me, but they’re useful to Youyou!”

Lin Yueqin tucked the three exquisitely made gold-embossed invitations into her bosom, holding them like precious treasures, “So you’re indeed Cong Zong’s mistress, aren’t you? Only someone like that could get her hands on something like this. And those designer clothes you’re wearing, they weren’t bought by him, were they?”

Ye Chuyi’s expression darkened, “Give the invitations back to me now, don’t force me to get physical.”

Fearing that Ye Chuyi would snatch them back, Lin Yueqin turned and walked away, instructing Tian Ma as she went, “Hurry up and close the gate, don’t let her in!”

Tian Ma, somewhat intimidated by her, quickly obliged, closing the gate and leaving Ye Chuyi outside the villa.

Seeing that Ye Chuyi couldn’t get in at all, Lin Yueqin turned back to Tian Ma and took the items from her hands, “That little wretch couldn’t possibly have brought anything decent, don’t show it to Madam, or it might bring her bad luck. Right, Tian Ma?”

Tian Ma hesitated, still looking at her, “Yueqin, didn’t Madam specifically tell us she was expecting guests tonight and asked us to prepare more food? Why would you tell Mr. Wen that…”

“Shut up!”

Lin Yueqin shouted at her fiercely, “What I say goes in this house! How dare a lowly servant like you question me? Can’t you see I’m doing all this for Madam’s sake? You have no brains at all!”

“Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again.”

“Useless fool, why aren’t you getting back to work? Do you want me to do it myself?”

“No, no, no, you rest, I’ll go right now!”
