Ye Ru abruptly changed the subject, pointing the finger at Ye Huanhuan, her tone filled with suspicion and accusation:
"Or perhaps this whole thing was a play you orchestrated to create an image of a kind-hearted, generous, and well-mannered heiress in front of everyone? Although your adoptive parents slandered you at the hotel, the biggest beneficiary of this whole affair is yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru completely absolved herself of any blame. Ye Huanhuan had to admire Ye Ru's ability to turn the tables, as her words left Ye Huanhuan speechless.
She suddenly found her own stupidity laughable. Sure enough, she had been too hasty. Without solid evidence, she had rashly called Ye Ru over, giving her a perfect opportunity to turn the tables.
"What Xiaoru said isn't entirely unreasonable, Huanhuan. People like your adoptive parents have absolutely no credibility. Besides, you have no evidence to prove that Xiaoru sent them to the hotel to defame you. So Huanhuan, you need to apologize to Xiaoru for your attitude just now. No matter what, she's still your sister. You can't be so rude in front of me!"
Ye Haiming's words seemed to be advice, but in reality, they were biased towards Ye Ru.
A hint of smugness flickered in Ye Ru's eyes, but on the surface she appeared extremely tolerant and magnanimous. She smiled and said to Ye Haiming:
“Dad, there’s no need for an apology. It’s understandable that Huanhuan has some suspicions about me. If I were in her shoes, I would probably suspect Huanhuan first too. I don’t blame her. I just hope we can get along well and put the family’s honor first. After all, we are family. We share the same fate, and we share the same fate!”
Hearing Ye Ru's words, which showed consideration for the overall situation, Ye Haiming's face showed a satisfied and gratified smile, which was in stark contrast to Ye Ru's attitude when she first entered the room.
"Xiaoru, you are such a sensible and good child."
Then, he looked at Ye Huanhuan and earnestly gave her some advice:
“Huanhuan, from now on you should learn more from your older sister. No matter what you do, you must prioritize the honor of the family. You must understand that it has not been easy for your father to get to where he is today, and you must understand his good intentions.”
Ye Huanhuan remained expressionless, suppressing her inner anger, and nodded slightly in agreement.
She no longer wanted to waste her breath arguing. She would only feel relieved when Tang Yi thoroughly investigated the matter and then threw the evidence at Ye Ru's shameless face.
"Alright, let's leave it at that. No one is allowed to mention it again."
Ye Haiming waved his hand, rubbing his temples wearily, before unceremoniously issuing the order to leave:
"You two should go back to your rooms and rest. I'm tired after a long day."
Ye Ru secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface she still nodded calmly, then turned around and left Ye Haiming's study without looking back.
However, unlike Ye Ru, Ye Huanhuan showed no intention of leaving.
Seeing this, Ye Haiming felt puzzled and asked:
"What? Is there something else?"
"Dad, I do have a request, and I hope you can help me."
"oh?"
Ye Haiming immediately became interested. This was the first time Ye Huanhuan had taken the initiative to make a request to him since returning home. "Tell me what it is."
Ye Huanhuan's gaze was firm. "I want to go to S University and retake the university courses."
"Just for this?" Ye Haiming looked at Ye Huanhuan in front of him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Ye Huanhuan nodded vigorously: "Yes."
This incident became a regret she could never let go of in her life. Back then, she was admitted to S University with her excellent grades. When she received the admission notice, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep for two days and two nights.
Unfortunately, Xia Jianguo and his wife immediately sold her admission to her cousin Xia Zijin, causing her to miss the opportunity to enter university.
Although nearly ten years have passed, this painful experience is like a thorn rooted in her heart, pricking her from time to time.
Now that she has returned to the Ye family, she knows that only by continuously improving her knowledge and abilities can she gain a foothold in this family.
Therefore, returning to university and pursuing further studies became her primary step in self-improvement.
This is why she didn't want Gao Yalan to tell Ye Haiming about her pregnancy.
She really didn't want her pregnancy to disrupt her plans.
Ye Haiming frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"This matter... is not difficult, but with your current status, going to university might attract too much attention."
"What does Dad want to say?"
Ye Huanhuan keenly grasped the deeper meaning in Ye Haiming's words.
Ye Haiming earnestly instructed Ye Huanhuan:
"I can grant you this request, but on the condition that you must be careful with your words and actions. There are many people and a lot of gossip in the school. I hope you will always remember your identity, prioritize the honor of the family in everything you do, think twice before you act, and never act impulsively. You must understand that your every move is related to the reputation of the Ye family. You must not tarnish the family's reputation, and you must not do anything that would damage the reputation of my Ye family."
Ye Huanhuan understood Ye Haiming's worries and nodded in agreement:
"Dad, I'm going to S University to study. I will never do anything to harm the Ye family, so please don't worry."
