Old Mrs. Lin tightly embraced her young lady, feeling a mix of emotions. Ye Liyan was indeed outstanding, she couldn't deny it. She had actually approved of him at first, but the gossip in the family compound was unbearable. Her daughter was a young maiden and was expected to marry into a family to become a stepmother, which she couldn't quite accept.

Unexpectedly, after she approached him, he applied for a transfer not long after.
