It turns out that although Tang Yufen was the daughter of the old lady's cook, she was very popular because she was clever, sweet-talking, pretty and cute from a young age.
At that time, everyone in the Sheng family, from masters to servants, liked Tang Yufen very much. Moreover, because Tang Yufen and Gu Nianci were of similar age, after the old lady brought Gu Nianci over, she was worried that Gu Nianci would be lonely, so she specially transferred Tang Yufen to Gu Nianci's side as her personal maid.
Gu Nianci was kind-hearted and considerate of servants from a young age. Moreover, she had no sisters of the same age and respected the old lady more than she loved her. When she suddenly had a playmate of the same age as Tang Yufen, Gu Nianci was naturally very happy and sincerely befriended Tang Yufen.
In addition, Tang Yufen was very good at scheming. Although she was young, she had already planned for her future. So Tang Yufen deliberately flattered Gu Nianci, appearing to be loyal to her master. She not only charmed Gu Nianci, but even the old lady was fooled.
"I was so blind! I really thought that this bitch was devoted to your grandmother. I never imagined she had such a vicious intention." The old lady cursed bitterly, feeling extremely guilty.
She only wanted her cousin to be happy, but instead she delivered a wolf into her lap!
Ye Qingqing comforted her, "Grandma, how could you have seen through that bitch's true colors back then? And what was Ye Xunmei's background?"
Gu Nianci paused, hesitated for a long while, and then stammered, "Qingqing, he... he is still your grandfather, don't... don't call him by his name!"
Ye Qingqing was stunned for a moment, looking at her grandmother with suspicion, wondering if she had misheard.
Gu Nianci added, "It's not proper to call someone by their name directly."
A sense of helplessness welled up in Ye Qingqing's chest. She hadn't misheard; the joy of finding her biological grandmother had faded considerably.
She wanted to find her grandmother, but she didn't want her grandmother to be a spineless, unprincipled person.
Honestly, she would rather her family members be as ruthless as Shen Yanhong than as a spineless pushover like Gu Nianci.
"Grandma, manners are for people, not for animals," Ye Qingqing said irritably.
Gu Nianci's expression changed drastically, and her eyes showed some dissatisfaction. No matter what, Ye Xunmei was an elder, and Ye Qingqing's rude words were really impolite!
She wanted to have a proper talk with Ye Qing, but the old lady spoke up, "Qing'er is right, what's the point of showing manners to beasts!"
The more the old lady looked at Ye Qingqing, the happier she became. Qing'er's temperament was just to her liking. It was amazing that Nianci, with her soft and gentle nature, could give birth to such a straightforward and decisive granddaughter as Qing'er. Heaven had truly opened its eyes!
Gu Nianci respected the old lady, and after being scolded by her, she dared not say anything more, planning to talk to Ye Qingqing privately later.
Ye Qingqing looked grave. The situation with Ye Zhiguo and Shen Yanguo hadn't been resolved yet, and now this family of hypocrites had appeared. Moreover, it seemed that Tang Yufen and Ye Xunmei were far more cunning than Ye Zhiguo and Shen Yanhong.
"Grandma, what benefits did Ye Xunmei get from you?" Ye Qingqing asked.
No one gets up early without a reason. Ye Xunmei and Tang Yufen went to great lengths to scheme against Gu Nianci, surely for their own benefit.
The old lady glanced at Gu Nianci, who looked ashamed, and sneered, "You silly grandma almost gave all your possessions to that beast!"
If she hadn't discovered it in time, all of Gu Nianci's assets would have been transferred to Ye Xunmei. But even though she stopped it in time, that fool Gu Nianci still gave Ye Xunmei quite a few benefits in private.
Otherwise, where would Ye Xunmei and Tang Yufen, who were penniless, have gotten the money to start a pharmaceutical company after arriving in Hong Kong?
