Chapter 1279: A dark figure in a dark room

\'Anyway, Xiyuan did you eat lunch? If not then you can have lunch with me and Ah Yun," said Madam Ma as she patted the woman on the back of her hand. "I didn\'t know that you were coming or else I would have asked Nanny Tai to make your favourite pig brain soup."

"Ah, there is no need for you to worry about this auntie. One of my colleagues was rather kind to send me a rather plump and chubby pig meat and brain," Ye Xiyuan stated with a mysterious glint in her eyes as she recalled the pig she had butchered a few days ago. She smiled widely at Madam Ma and added, "I was getting bored of eating it, so I will have whatever that you are having."

Madam Ma didn\'t think much of it. She only felt that Ye Xiyuan was too understanding and liked her even more. As she asked Nanny Tai to bring out the lunch, her gaze fell on Ma Yun who was climbing up the stairs. Madam Ma frowned and questioned, "What are you doing? Where are you going, are you not going to sit and talk with Xiyuan?"

"No," Ma Yun replied feeling a headache coming. He couldn\'t believe that neither his girlfriend nor his mother saw anything wrong with what they were doing. Their actions were simply way beyond his bottom line and to make things worse, neither of them saw anything wrong with what they were doing! No wonder his father called his mother foolish.

He continued climbing up the stairs even though his mother called him twice to come down and eat.

When Madam Ma saw Ma Yun ignore her, she was really upset. She turned to look at Ye Xiyuan who was hiding the murderous intent in her eyes and complained, "Do you see that, Xiyuan? Both of them are getting on my nerves. He is just like his father. Just because they are worried about something that may happen, they are treating me like this! Urgh, I cannot even believe them."

Ye Xiyuan turned her attention to the whining woman and questioned, "Is this about Master Fu?" She looked genuinely concerned and caring as she poured water into a glass for Madam Ma, who took the glass of water from her hand and nodded after taking a sip.

"My husband and Ah Yan are worried that Yu Sheng will become a threat to our company and connections once he is settled in the capital. Thus, they want me to build a better relationship with him and his wife," Madam Ma rolled her eyes as if she could not believe the audacity of her husband and Ma Yu. "This is why I hate Yu Sheng and his family, they are like jinxes! Three months in the capital and they are already causing a rift between me and my family! It was so much better when they were living in the S city."

"Oh, how I wish they had stayed there and never came back!"

Madam Ma was even more upset than the Lin family after hearing that Fu Yu Sheng was back in the capital, this was because she was a fool when she was young and married a man who was not half as skilled as her father and ended up marrying far below her status.

Back then she had thought that she married out of love but as time passed by, the love that she had for her husband was slowly replaced by anger and grievances as she saw him failing while the other succeeded. Now that Fu Yu Sheng was getting better and better with the connections that he had made in three months, Madam Ma was obviously angry and upset as her nephew did something that her husband couldn\'t even though he had lived in the capital for a very long time.

Ye Xiyuan was also aware of the reason why Madam Ma was upset. Even though the Ma family was good and had a lot of businesses-- all of those businesses were closely attached to the Lin family. If the Lim family failed then the Ma family would fail as well.

However, Fu Yu Sheng was different from Master Ma. He was someone who came to the capital and swept the most precious connections with his own efforts and skills. He did not rely on anyone, thus his failure and success were in his own hands.

He was a man of pride and confidence. While Master Ma was a man who relied on his father- in-law\'s efforts and always sucked up to Old Master Lin with his back bent.

If she was in Madam Ma\'s shoes then she would have also felt rather humiliated.

But then again it was Madam Ma who was the foolish one, who asked her to marry a man who had no capabilities and only sweet words.

However even though Ye Xiyuan looked down on Madam Ma, she didn\'t show it on her face. Instead, she took Madam Ma\'s hand in her own and said, "You are right, Auntie. No matter what happens outside, they shouldn\'t take it out on you. That is just too unfair."

"Isn\'t that so?" Madam Ma did not think that Ye Xiyuan was only comforting her. She instead believed that Ye Xiyuan could understand her, she was the matriarch of the Ma family, and the only responsibility that she had was to take care of her family well. Why should she care about the business and whatnot?

Thus, when she saw that Ye Xiyuan could understand her feelings, Madam Ma thought that she had found someone to share her thoughts with. So once she opened her mouth she started to spill the beans, including Fu Yu Sheng\'s childhood something, she should not have done.
