Even the way she looked at Zheng Siyu didn’t hide her irritation. Ye Shilong, already displeased with her, grew even more annoyed upon hearing her words. "Good or bad? Just shut your mouth!" he snapped. Suddenly being yelled at, Ye Tong stiffened. Zheng Cai, however, felt a bit sorry for her and said to Ye Tong, "Are you too tired? If you’re too tired, you should go upstairs and rest." So, they even disliked my being here, as if I were disrupting their family harmony?! Who is their real daughter, anyway? And what exactly was this Zheng Siyu? Ye Tong couldn’t contain her anger at this moment, and her glare at Zheng Siyu was filled with discontent. Zheng Siyu asked innocently, "Cousin, why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something to upset you?" Before meeting Zheng Siyu, I thought the biggest threat in this family was Ye Yuning. Once I drove her away, the entire Ye Family would be mine. Who could have predicted that the oriole stalks the mantis? After driving Ye Yuning away, there was still Zheng Siyu. Right now, Zheng Siyu’s expression and her words—why do they feel so familiar? She remembered now. When she first returned to the Ye Family, she had worn the same expression and said the same words to Ye Yuning in front of Zheng Cai. Is this white lotus, Zheng Siyu, seeking death? I am the Ye Family’s biological daughter! "You should go upstairs now." Seeing Ye Shilong about to lose his temper again, Zheng Cai quickly said to Ye Tong. But she didn’t want to see their faces anymore and stormed upstairs. Ye Shilong said, "Look at this ’fine’ daughter you raised! You need to take the time to teach her properly. She has no ability, yet possesses quite a temper." Zheng Cai’s expression soured at his words. She, too, resolved to have a stern talk with Ye Tong. What kind of attitude was that just now? Seeing the situation, Zheng Siyu quickly interjected, "Come now, Uncle. Cousin has just returned and might not fully understand these things. We shouldn’t find it strange; she probably can’t accept it yet." "Don’t speak up for her; the foolish things she’s been doing lately are simply too numerous." Ye Shilong clenched his teeth! He had never paid much attention to family matters before. Only now did he realize that instability on the home front could significantly impact his affairs. Especially with Ye Yuning now estranged from the Ye Family, the Ye Corporation had suffered considerably. Zheng Siyu said, "Cousin has seen little of the world during her years away, so please don’t be too hasty in your judgment." "Indeed, her worldly wisdom is truly lacking!" Zheng Cai nodded. Thinking back, Ye Tong had been fussing over every little thing since she returned. If that wasn’t being shortsighted, what was? But Ye Tong was her daughter, after all. She had no choice but to do as Ye Shilong said and teach her properly, and quickly. Ye Tong had been upstairs for a long time, and Zheng Cai, who usually would have hurried to soothe her at the slightest incident, hadn’t come up. Instead, she kept hearing bursts of laughter and cheerful conversation from downstairs. This damned vixen! she complained discontentedly. She used to think Ye Yuning was a consummate white lotus, but Zheng Siyu was even more so. This feeling of being utterly ignored was unbearable! Moreover, since she had returned, they hadn’t breathed a word about how to handle the Xiao Corporation’s affairs. What did they mean by that? Were they abandoning her? Downstairs, the discussion about Zheng Siyu and Xiao Qiye continued. Ye Shilong told Zheng Cai, "Regarding this matter, you need to engage more with Yuning." His way of addressing Ye Yuning had changed, a clear sign that Ye Shilong now fully recognized the disparity between the two daughters. Biological or not—often, the biological ones were truly more troublesome. Zheng Cai knew what he meant and nodded. "Mhm, don’t worry." She also thought of Ye Yuning’s path! After all, Yuning had a good private relationship with Xiao Qiye. If Yuning could help play matchmaker, Zheng Siyu and Xiao Qiye might have a smoother path forward. Ye Yuning had no idea what scheme the Ye Family had planned for her. This time, she hadn’t replied to Zheng Cai’s messages, and Zheng Cai hadn’t pestered her either. If this had happened before, things would have likely blown up by now! Today was too quiet; when things are this abnormal, something is usually afoot. However, she didn’t have the energy to worry about it too much. She had been busy at the exhibition all day and was so tired that all she wanted upon returning home was to fall into bed and sleep. As soon as Xiao Linye returned to Shanyu Pavilion, he went to the study to make a phone call; she had no idea what it was about. She vaguely thought she heard "Simon"! Speaking of Simon, the very next day, the promotional images from his collaboration with Manlang completely overshadowed the buzz around the Xiao Corporation’s Nanjia Peak, effectively burying the issue. Xiao Linye had made breakfast again. "I think I get it now," Ye Yuning remarked, somewhat cryptically. Xiao Linye raised an eyebrow. "Get what?" "Breakfast is only available when you’re in a good mood," she replied. For the sake of breakfast, she couldn’t let her husband get worked up over company matters. But letting that deviant Xiao Qiye off the hook so easily still left her feeling a bit resentful. He was too much of a bully! Xiao Qiye had been incredibly infuriating before, and she had only retaliated slightly. For him to then make her husband unhappy—that was simply an outrage against justice!
