Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Ye Jianguo did not notice that Ye Xueli's expression had darkened. She looked terrifyingly gloomy. He sighed and said, "Colonel Lu is really lucky to be able to marry such a wife. She's good-looking and knowledgeable. When she graduates, she'll be a doctor with a bright future. No matter what, she'll have a brighter future than a primary school teacher like you. I'd be proud to have such a wife. If I were to marry such a wife in the future, I'd even laugh in my dreams."

"What's wrong with being a primary school teacher? A primary school teacher can't compete with a doctor?" Ye Xueli shouted.

"How can a primary school teacher compare to a doctor? Even though a teacher is quite respectable, a doctor saves lives and helps the injured. Their salary will definitely be higher than yours. However, I reckon that doctors will be very busy. Unlike teachers like you, they can't have three months of long holidays in a year."

Ye Jianguo's analysis was comprehensive, but it made Ye Xueli's face turn darker.

"Why does a woman need to earn so much money? Isn't it better to have the men make money? Busy women can't take good care of their families." Ye Xueli snorted. "Anyway, I think I'm a thousand times better than her. I'm prettier than she is, and my job is better than hers."

"Sister, why are you comparing yourself with Mrs. Lu? Aren't you making things difficult for yourself?" Ye Jianguo turned to look at Ye Xueli. "You were the one who said that a woman should have a decent job, and now you're saying it differently. If she gets a master's degree, she might be able to stay at a university to teach. She'll be a lecturer, and she'll be able to become a professor in the future. How can you, a primary school teacher, compare to her?"

"Ye Jianguo, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me? Do you look down on your sister? Fine, then let someone else be your sister!" Ye Xueli instantly turned hostile. "You think she's a thousand times better than me, right? I embarrass you, right?"

The two siblings immediately started arguing in the dormitory. In the end, Ye Jianguo turned around and left in a huff. He thought that his sister was an unreasonable woman.

She was the one who wanted to compete with Mrs. Lu, yet he was not allowed to tell the truth.

Ye Jianguo suddenly stopped walking when he thought of that. He hurriedly returned to his sister's room. Ye Xueli's door was not locked, so he pushed the door open and walked into the room. His expression was solemn as he said, "Sister, Auntie said that you liked Colonel Lu. Are you telling the truth? Otherwise, why would you compare yourself to Mrs. Lu?"

"None of your business!"

Ye Xueli scolded her stepmother in her heart. She blamed her for being too talkative. Why would she say that to Ye Jianguo?

"Let me remind you that Colonel Lu is married. His wife is not inferior to you at all. Don't think about those impossible things," Ye Jianguo said seriously.

"I am good-looking and have a good job. Why is it impossible for me to be with Colonel Lu? So what if we get married? Didn't our father get a stepmother for us?" Ye Xueli knew that Ye Jianguo had seen through her thoughts.

"Father only married Auntie after Mother left many years ago. How is that the same? I'm warning you—people who destroy other people's families are the most disgraceful. If you dare to be such a person, don't blame me for not calling you my sister!" Ye Jianguo said those harsh words and turned to leave.
