Chapter 21 The Real and Fake Heiress

Ye Da paused, not because of what Ye Xiqing said, but because of her attitude.

Over the years, her definition of her younger sister had long since become the obedient and well-behaved Ye Xueli. He never imagined that someone would dare to speak to him in such an attitude, especially since that person was the "younger sister" he had just brought home.

Ye Da almost laughed in anger; his resentment towards his younger sister was growing stronger.

Because of this aversion, he noticed Ye Xiqing's provocative posture first, and only then did he notice what Ye Xiqing said.

When he realized what Ye Xiqing had said, his anger became even more intense.

Because, to be honest, his initial anger was ignited by the second thing.

The butler was a smart man. He asked the young master for help, but he also had to consider whether the young master would take him seriously or stand up for him.

So he embellished the story, changing the reason for his expulsion from Ye's father's anger and punishment to the fact that he offended the young lady by defending the young master's territory, which in turn offended Ye's father.

Whether Ye Xiqing and Ye Xueli were vying for titles, favor, or rooms, it was all expected. But when it came to him, it was a different story.

He certainly wasn't like Ye Xueli, who cared about a physical room; he simply disliked being offended.

But Ye Da, as the eldest son of the Ye family, who took over the company's affairs at a young age, has learned to conceal his true intentions like an adult, and to attack his target with a righteous and legitimate reason.

He could already imagine how miserable his ignorant, arrogant, and brainless sister would become under his skillful manipulation of "imperial arts."

Because of this assumption, he became much more tolerant of Ye Xiqing's provocations, and sneered, "Butler Wang has worked in this family for ten years, and he has been loyal and conscientious to this family. What reason do you have to fire him?"

Ye Xiqing ignored him, slowly walked downstairs, and sat down next to her mother without thinking.

Upon seeing this, the waiter at the table quickly replaced the bowl and plate in front of her with a new one, since Ye Xueli had sat in this spot before, and he wondered if the young lady would mind.

Ye Xiqing enjoyed the meticulous service with a clear conscience and said calmly, "Isn't his disrespect for me enough?"

Besides, what's your relationship with him? Why are you so anxious about him getting into trouble?

Ye Xiqing spoke these two sentences through two separate channels. Ye's mother, father, and third son, who knew about her thoughts, immediately perked up and listened intently.

But Ye Da and Ye Er had never experienced anything like this before, and Ye Xiqing had her back to them, so they couldn't see her mouth movements and assumed that she had said those two sentences herself.

Ye Da was surprised that Ye Xiqing had also clumsily raised the banner, and couldn't help but sneer.

"You ask what our relationship is? Well, let me tell you, Butler Wang has worked in this family longer than you have, and he has contributed more to this family than you have when you first came back."

"Don't think that just because you're a daughter of the Ye family, you can do whatever you want. In the hearts of many people in this family, he is more important than you!"

The 18 years she was taken away from the wealthy family must be the most painful thing for this "younger sister". When a person loses their composure, they will reveal more flaws, and the more flaws they reveal, the more annoying they will become.

However, to his surprise, Ye Xiqing not only did not lose her composure, but even had time to ponder the matter, realizing that the butler from before also had the surname Wang.

It was Ye's father, sitting in the main seat, who slammed his hand on the table and stood up, glaring fiercely at Ye Da: "What did you say! You said a butler is more important than your own sister!"

Ye Dayi was stunned.

The roar of the true power holder of the Ye family silenced everyone in the room. Only then did Ye Da notice that his father's expression had not been pleasant from the beginning.

Take a step back.

No matter how arrogant he was, he still had to admit it when his father was angry, so he softened his tone and said, "I'm sorry, Dad, I didn't mean that..."

However, this time, Ye's father was not as easy to deal with as before. He seemed to be really angry, leaning over and pointing at him while cursing loudly.

"You didn't mean that? What do you mean by 'didn't mean that'? You didn't come back when I was picking up my sister, but you suddenly show up when the butler has an accident. How come the butler is your own father? His words carry more weight than mine!"

“I fired that person, what’s your problem with me? That person not only mistreated your sister, but also embezzled so much from the family. What’s your problem with me firing him!”

"I never expected that my chosen successor would be someone like you, a traitor! Utterly stupid! A beast who helps outsiders harm his own people!"

"Stop yelling at me. You hand over your work tomorrow, and I'll go to work myself!"

"I'm not dead yet, this family is not your place to make the decisions!"

"You! And that second son! You two beasts, pack your bags and get out of here! You two are not allowed to set foot in this house again!"

Ye Da: ?

He never expected things to turn out this way!

"dad!"

He rushed forward to explain, but Ye Er stopped him.

Unlike Ye Da's recklessness and impulsiveness, Ye Er was more meticulous and thoughtful.

So he noticed that the strangest people present, besides Ye Xiqing who was inexplicably favored and Ye Xiqing's father who inexplicably doted on her, were Ye San, who was sitting there, swaying his body contentedly, suppressing a laugh as he watched the show.

This is very strange. He is the culprit who switched the real and fake heiresses, and he also harbors the greatest malice towards the "real sister". How could he be so happy to see this upside-down scene?

There's only one explanation: something big happened during the process of picking up his sister, something Ye San knew about, but the two of them didn't.

Without understanding the situation, the more he tries to explain, the more he will anger his father.

So Ye Er pressed his elder brother down and said respectfully, "I'm sorry, Father. Elder brother was too impulsive. We meant no harm to our sister. It's just that the housekeeper may have told some lies, which made us misunderstand our sister. We will apologize to our sister. We're sorry, sister."

Despite Ye Er's measured approach, Ye's father's expression did not improve; instead, it became even more somber.

He knew his two sons well, so he knew that although the eldest son was reckless, he wouldn't have such a vicious thought as patricide. This idea was more likely to come from the second son.

Therefore, the smarter the second brother was, the more afraid he became, and he also realized that not only he could hear the thoughts in his mind, but the eldest and second eldest brothers could also hear them.

The daughter is unaware that her thoughts can be read by everyone, so she never guards against people when she is having her own thoughts. If her eldest and second eldest sons overhear her, things could get really bad if they become desperate and act rashly.

Therefore, taking this opportunity, Ye's father swept the bowls and chopsticks onto the ground, looking furious and unwilling to listen to them: "Get out! Get out now! Throw them out!"

"From now on, no one else can be allowed into this house. Whoever lets them in can quit their job!"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what else to say since the boss had already said that.

After a flurry of activity, they managed to persuade the eldest and second young masters to leave. It seems like living this long means you encounter all sorts of situations...

...

Ye Xueli stood there, stunned, unable to believe what she was seeing.

I thought that with my two older brothers back, I would have someone to rely on, but in the blink of an eye, they were all kicked out.

Ye Xueli immediately sat obediently at the end of the table, just like Ye San, and didn't even dare to cry anymore.

Only after Ye Da and Ye Er left did Ye's father breathe a sigh of relief.

He was truly afraid that at this critical moment, Ye Xiqing might inadvertently reveal her true feelings, and that Ye Da and Ye Er would discover the secret.

Fortunately, he maintained control of the situation, and Ye Xiqing remained silent.

Now that you mention it, those two people just happened to be away when he picked up Ye Xiqing. Was it heaven helping him out?

With his mood relaxed, Ye's father thanked God and then connected with his daughter, who was also his future spoiler: "Qingqing, don't worry about it. From now on, you'll be in charge of this family. Those two little bastards won't be able to get in!"

Ye Xiqing looked at her father with emotion. She was not a performer in terms of actions, so she prepared to reward him with words.

[It's really different from my past life. Dad actually scolded my brother because of me.]

[That's great! With Dad taking over the company himself, I don't have to worry about my brothers causing trouble anymore.]

[However, this point in time is almost when Assistant He, working for the eldest brother, tricked him into signing a fake contract, creating a huge financial hole for the company.]

How can I subtly tell my dad about this? After all, I shouldn't even know who Assistant He is right now.

puff--

Mr. Ye wiped his mouth; he hadn't expected such a surprise.

It's unclear whether this surprise came from his son or daughter, but in any case, Mr. Ye immediately pulled out his phone and exclaimed "Ahhh!" for a long time.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately feigned anger and yelled at Ye's mother, "Your son, I don't even want to talk about it, do you know what's wrong with his assistant He?"

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand anyway. I'm going to the office. You guys can eat at home by yourselves!"

Mother Ye sat in her seat with her arms crossed. To be honest, she had been in a difficult position from the beginning, since all the children were her own.

But upon hearing the new information, she knew she couldn't continue to protect those two, so she could only play along: "Then you should go to the company quickly."

So, at the dinner table, only three people remained, having no say in anything, and ate in peace.

The system, who was having dinner with him, was about to vomit blood: "Host, do you still remember what the title of this world is...?"

Ye Xiqing calmly enjoyed her meal: "After having my innermost thoughts heard, my whole family spoiled me rotten. What's wrong? Don't you think I'm spoiled enough?"

The system was practically grinding its teeth: "You've been spoiled rotten! Then tell me, where is your whole family! Where is your whole family?!"

"Hehe." Ye Xiqing laughed uncontrollably.

Isn't the whole family here? Aren't they performing here?

After receiving the plot from the system, Ye Xiqing discovered that in both lives, whether the fake heiress was the protagonist or the real heiress was the protagonist, one thing never changed: the person sitting on the judges' panel was always "the whole family".

If the "whole family" spoils the fake heiress, then the fake heiress is the winner. If the "whole family" stops spoiling the fake heiress and starts spoiling the real heiress instead, then the real heiress wins.

That's going too far. They say they'll spoil the real daughter rotten, but then they make her perform offstage while they sit on the judges' panel watching the show. Is this spoiling a daughter or spoiling a monkey?

Ye Xiqing has always been good at discovering the best things, so she wants to switch places with her "family".

Didn't you say you'd spoil her? What kind of spoiling is it if you can't make her happy? If you're going to spoil her, then make her step off the stage!

Watching others perform monkey shows is much more exciting than performing them yourself.

The whole family has been enjoying themselves for so long, it's time for her to sit on it and have some fun too.
