Night falls on the first floor of the Ye family villa.
A huge dining table is laden with a dazzling array of delicious food that makes one's mouth water.
Foie gras, caviar, black truffles, bluefin tuna, king crab, Australian lobster, Kobe beef...
These top delicacies from around the world covered the entire table, emitting an enticing aroma.
The value of this meal is equivalent to an average family's annual income.
Gao Yalan spent the whole day walking around the island with Ye Huanhuan, and today she experienced countless shocks.
Now that she has witnessed the Ye family's extravagance, Ye Huanhuan is no longer surprised or shocked by anything she sees.
No wonder people always say that the happiness of the rich is beyond your imagination.
If you're not happy, it just means you're not rich enough!
She also learned from Gao Yalan the true identity of her sister, Ye Ru.
It turns out that Ye Ru is not Ye Haiming and Gao Yalan's biological child.
Back then, she was cruelly taken away by her nanny. After that, Gao Yalan spent her days in tears, lost her appetite, and her mental state deteriorated, eventually leading to a very serious mental illness.
Seeing his beloved wife in such agony, Ye Haiming felt heartbroken but was helpless.
Later, he adopted a child and entrusted him to Gao Yalan's careful care, hoping to help Gao Yalan get back on her feet.
And this child is none other than Ye Ru today.
Since Ye Ru came to her side, Gao Yalan gradually forgot the pain of losing her daughter and no longer wallowed in grief all day long.
Over time, her mental state gradually improved.
Thanks to the meticulous care and cultivation of Gao Yalan and Ye Haiming, Ye Ru has grown into a graceful and charming young woman.
In addition, she has become exceptionally outstanding through her own efforts.
Ye Ru is only one year older than her, but she is already pursuing a PhD in Finance at Oxford University in Country Y, one of the world's top universities.
It should be noted that in the vast city of S, talents as outstanding as Ye Ru are extremely rare.
With such an enviable educational background, Ye Ru undoubtedly became Ye Haiming's source of pride among his peers.
Therefore, Ye Ru, the adopted daughter, was like a biological daughter to Ye Haiming and his wife.
Perhaps, in their hearts, Ye Ru's importance is even greater than that of their biological daughter.
At this moment, Ye Haiming sat at the head of the table, as if he were sitting on a dragon throne, exuding great majesty and displaying the aura of a superior.
Ye Huanhuan and Gao Yalan sat on either side of him, while Ye Ting sat next to Gao Yalan.
Behind the four men stood more than twenty servants, respectfully waiting to obey their masters' orders at any time.
Ye Haiming, Ye Huanhuan, and Gao Yalan chatted leisurely, asking each other about their plans for the day, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Just then, Ye Ting, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke to Gao Yalan:
"Mommy, Xiaoru called me this afternoon when she had some free time. She said she has already obtained her doctoral degree ahead of schedule and will be able to return to China at the end of this month."
Gao Yalan's attention was immediately drawn to Ye Ting's words, and she asked with a look of surprise, "Abner, is what you said true? Xiaoru can get her degree so quickly?"
Ye Ting nodded, while simultaneously giving Ye Huanhuan a quick, disdainful glance before replying:
“Mommy, of course it’s true. Over the years, Xiaoru has been studying hard in Y country, all for this day when she gets her degree. When she comes back, we should celebrate with her properly.”
Upon hearing of Ye Ru's remarkable achievements, Ye Haiming couldn't help but praise her:
"Yes, we should definitely celebrate for her. Even I would find it difficult to achieve what she has at her age. She truly deserves to be my daughter, Ye Haiming."
His words revealed his pride and self-satisfaction.
Ye Huanhuan lowered her head and silently ate the Wagyu beef on her plate.
Her sister, to whom she has no blood relation, is incredibly accomplished—a 27-year-old female PhD graduate from overseas.
This is really high quality...
Aside from the fact that she wasn't a biological daughter of the Ye family, Ye Ru's life was the envy of all her peers.
"So many delicious dishes, all of which Xiaoru loves to eat. I wish she were home too."
A hint of regret appeared on Ye Ting's indifferent face. He continued, "I wonder if she's eating well and getting used to life alone in Y country... Mommy, the Mid-Autumn Festival is in a few days. Would you like to take some time to visit Xiaoru in Y country?"
"OK……"
Gao Yalan blurted out that she hadn't seen Ye Ru for a full six months. It would be a lie to say she didn't miss her; after all, Ye Ru was a child she had raised herself and cherished since she was little.
However, as soon as she said it, she remembered Ye Huanhuan's presence, and her expression instantly turned somewhat awkward, as if she were embarrassed:
"Let's forget about it. Huanhuan just got back, she might not be used to it yet. I'll stay with Huanhuan instead..."
Ye Ting glanced at Ye Huanhuan, a dark glint flashing in his eyes, before regaining his composure and advising Gao Yalan:
“Mommy, now that Daddy has found an etiquette teacher for her, I don’t think she needs you to accompany her anymore. Your presence at home will only affect her studies. Besides, Xiaoru hasn’t seen you for so long, and she told me today that she misses you very much.”
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yalan felt that Ye Ting's words seemed to make sense. She then looked at Ye Huanhuan's expression and found that Ye Huanhuan's expression was normal and she did not show any dissatisfaction.
Ye Huanhuan smiled and comforted Gao Yalan, showing great understanding.
“Mom, if you want to see my sister, then go ahead. Abner is right. I just got back and I still have a lot to learn. You don’t need to stay home with me. You can go out without worry.”
She knew that Gao Yalan valued Ye Ru, her adopted daughter, very much, and that her feelings for Ye Ru even surpassed those for her.
After all, when Gao Yalan suffered from mental illness, it was Ye Ru who stayed by her side. Gao Yalan's feelings for Ye Ru were incomparable to those of her own daughter, who had only been home for less than a day.
"This won't do... You just got home, there are still many places you're not familiar with..."
Gao Yalan was still somewhat worried that Ye Huanhuan wouldn't adapt well to life in the Ye family. Seeing this, Ye Ting said:
"Mommy, Daddy and I are going to Y country in a few days to handle some work matters. I've already told Daddy that I'll try to visit Xiaoru when I have some free time. If you're coming too, wouldn't it be nice for our family to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at Xiaoru's place?"
Ye Haiming agreed, saying, "Huanhuan should just stay home and study. There's no point in you spending time with her. You might as well go to Xiaoru's place and help us make arrangements for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
