After Ye Zhen was recognized and returned to her wealthy family, her parents disliked her, and her four brothers ostracized her, all to prevent the fake daughter from suffering any grievances.
<...Chapter 44 The Disgusting Tactics of the Man Tea
Ye Zhen was happily eating; this was probably the happiest day she had had since transferring to this school.
The next second, Ye Zhenzhu walked over: "Sister, why didn't you invite me to eat with you? Mom said to take good care of you at school."
As soon as Ye Zhenzhu sat down, a group of boys followed her over.
The cafeteria has long tables that can seat twenty people.
The class monitor sat down next to Ye Zhenzhu and placed the plate in front of her: "Sister Zhenzhu, I specially prepared your favorite food today."
"Thanks, squad leader. You really understand my hobbies best."
Ye Zhenzhu held her plate smugly and deliberately looked at the girls next to her, since she was the most popular girl in the class.
When Ye Zhenzhu looked at Ye Zhen, that bitch still ignored her.
Ye Zhenzhu gritted her teeth and looked at the class monitor: "Su Qing, I heard that you and the class monitor have agreed to apply to the same school. You two childhood sweethearts are really inseparable."
Su Qing frowned and remained silent.
The class monitor quickly explained, "Pearl, don't misunderstand. Su Qing and I are just neighbors, not childhood sweethearts. The whole thing about applying to the same school was just something our parents made up."
Ye Zhenzhu put her arm around the class monitor's shoulder and said, "Hey, we're all brothers, how could we not see that you and Su Qing are childhood sweethearts? There's no need to hide it."
The class monitor blushed slightly as she stood so close to Ye Zhenzhu.
He was afraid that Ye Zhenzhu would misunderstand something, so he looked up at Su Qing and said, "You should explain yourself. I don't want people to misunderstand that we are dating. Our homeroom teacher will scold us."
Su Qing's eyes instantly reddened, and she picked up her tray and left.
As Ye Zhen watched Su Qing's retreating figure, she suddenly thought of herself in her past life. Back then, she liked Gu Chi, and Ye Zhenzhu was also caught in the middle, acting all coy and scheming.
She could tell at a glance that Ye Zhenzhu's actions just now were intentional.
After seeing Su Qing leave, Ye Zhenzhu's mood finally improved considerably.
She looked at Ye Zhen and said, "Sister, Mom told me to tell you to come home on time tonight. She has something to tell you."
Ye Zhen ignored Ye Zhenzhu completely and left with her tray.
After she left, the other girls followed suit.
Ye Zhenzhu's lips curled slightly: "Oh dear, it seems like those girls really dislike you bunch of stinky men. They don't even want to eat with you."
The class monitor pushed up his sunglasses: "Those girls are just pretentious, unlike you, Pearl."
"Yeah, who else is as easygoing as Sister Pearl, so she can hang out with us guys?"
Ye Zhenzhu put her arm around the class monitor's shoulder, resting her chest on his arm. She seemed completely oblivious, saying casually, "Of course, I'm a tomboy. I can't be as pretentious as those girls."
The squad leader felt Ye Zhenzhu's chest, and his face grew even hotter.
Seeing this, another boy sat down on the other side of Ye Zhenzhu and put his arm around her shoulder: "Our Zhenzhu is a heroine among women."
Ye Zhenzhu squeezed between the two men, not at all shy about putting her arm around their shoulders, after all, she was the only one who was so popular.
But when the boy accidentally touched Ye Zhenzhu's chest, she deliberately blushed and said, "Ugh, we're brothers, don't you have any breasts?"
——
Meanwhile, Ye Zhen returned to the classroom and found that Su Qing seemed to be in a bad mood.
Wang Qianqian walked over and said indignantly, "The class monitor used to have a crush on Qingqing. They were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. But after we were divided into classes in high school, Ye Zhenzhu came to our class, and everything changed."
"Yes, these boys are like they're blind, they all call Ye Zhenzhu their brothers."
"What good brother? I overheard two guys talking about Ye Zhenzhu's big breasts. They were pretending to play around, but they actually went to touch Ye Zhenzhu's breasts."
"It's absolutely disgusting."
A group of girls were discussing something together.
Ye Zhen knew about Ye Zhenzhu's behavior towards men's tea, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
She looked at Su Qing and said, "It's not worth being sad for someone like that."
"I know."
Su Qing wiped away her tears. They were clearly people who liked each other, but things changed when they got to high school.
Not long after, Ye Zhenzhu walked into the classroom with a group of boys, who were playfully fighting. The girls were unanimously against Ye Zhenzhu.
Ye Zhenzhu didn't care at all, and continued to huddle together with the boys, occasionally letting out a shy and annoying sound.
To be honest, even Ye Zhen couldn't stand the atmosphere.
After school, Ye Zhen left with her schoolbag on her back and went straight to the villa.
But she received a message from home as soon as she arrived at the villa.
"Ye Zhen, where have you been? Why aren't you home yet?"
"Ye Zhen, haven't you had enough of what you suffered last night? Don't threaten us with running away from home again."
After reading these messages, Ye Zhen put her phone aside.
She didn't want to go back at all.
Ye Zhen took out her test paper and started working on the questions; that was the most important thing she should be doing right now.
Time passed by, and suddenly the doorbell rang.
Ye Zhen walked over and opened the door; there was a food delivery guy inside.
Ye Zhen asked in surprise, "I didn't order takeout, did you deliver to the wrong place?"
"That's right, you're Miss Ye, aren't you?"
"Yes, it's me."
The delivery guy put the food in her hand and left.
Ye Zhen walked into the living room with the takeout. Could this be the takeout that Shangguan He ordered?
She thought for a moment, then took a picture of Shangguan He: "Is this the takeout you ordered?"
"Yeah, I have to work overtime. This is what I ordered for you; it'll be deducted from my allowance."
When Ye Zhen saw the word "subsidy," she was at a loss for words.
Anyway, once she finishes her programming work, she'll definitely try her best to help him complete his new project.
He Hanjing looked at his phone, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He knew that if he didn't mention it was a meal allowance, she definitely wouldn't accept it.
At this moment, He Baizhou walked in with dark circles under his eyes: "Brother, this project is so difficult. It's simply impossible to complete it in such a short time."
He Baizhou has been working overtime late into the night these past few days, and has even been staying at the branch office. He just doesn't want to disappoint his brother.
He Hanjing glanced at the progress on the project proposal and said in a nonchalant tone, "There's been progress."
"Really? Big brother, can I go back and rest today?"
He Baizhou has been a pampered young master since childhood, how could he endure such hardship?
He Hanjing threw the project proposal on the table: "Is this all the progress you've made? You're already thinking of giving up?"
He Baizhou immediately deflated: "Then I'll continue."
He Hanjing remained calm; he couldn't let He Baizhou go back to the Ye family to bully Ye Zhen during this time.
Furthermore, since Ye Zhen lives in that villa, it would be easy for He Baizhou to see her, so we can't let that kid have time to go back.
He sighed, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Brother, have the results of that programming competition come out yet? What place did Ye Zhen get?"
If her ranking is too low, he will have to find a way to get his older brother to consider his feelings and make Ye Zhen's ranking look better.
Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be for him?
