Only now do I truly feel alive.
So why wouldn't he thank Xiaoxi and his brother?
“Yuanzhen, you don’t need to thank me. It’s just that we each have our own needs.”
“Miss Ye, may I call you Xiaoxi? In the future, if there is anything Xiaoxi needs me to do, I will do my best to help her achieve it.”
Yuan Zhen is surrendering.
Xiao Xi knew that Yuan Zhen did not serve two masters; he and her elder brother were only friends who had risked their lives for each other, but now he truly wanted to submit to her.
"Okay, remember what you said today."
In the living room of the main building of the manor.
Ye Aotian was telling his fourth brother, Ye Wentao, to get Ye Xiaoya's school enrollment procedures done today, as Ye Xiaoya staying in Shanghai was a done deal and beyond question.
Moreover, he was leaving that afternoon to return to the capital.
Ye Xiaoya, standing to the side, felt extremely smug.
She knew her father was busy and couldn't be with her all the time.
But she was able to stay in the Ye family and receive a good education; from then on, she would be the proper granddaughter of the Ye family.
As for Ye Xiaoxi, the legitimate eldest daughter of the Ye family, hmph, I love seeing her unhappy, yet unable to do anything about it.
As she pondered, Ye Xiaoya could no longer suppress herself; a smug look of triumph spread across her face.
What else could Ye Yuan and Ye Wanyi say? Their eldest son had said everything. Could they refuse his request by force?
They began to worry: if Ye Xiaoya and Xiaoxi ended up in the same school, Xiaoxi would have so many more troubles for no reason.
The other brothers all looked at Xiaoxi and Ye Xingxian: Didn't you manage to win over the eldest brother?
Xiaoxi smiled confidently and gave her brothers an OK sign.
The older brothers started to look forward to what Xiaoxi would do next.
At this moment, Ye Xiaoya was too smug. As the victor, shouldn't he give the loser a taste of his own medicine?
“Auntie, we’re schoolmates now, so we should help each other out at school. You know Xiaoya still has many shortcomings in her studies, so I can ask you if I don’t understand something.”
"You're only in third grade and you already have things you don't understand? Your dear father, weren't we going to hire a tutor for you? If you want me to help you, sorry, I'm busy!"
Ye Xiaoya seemed to have deliberately provoked Xiaoxi to say that, but even if she didn't deliberately provoke Xiaoxi, no matter what Xiaoxi said, as long as she struck up a conversation with her, she would have a lot of room to maneuver.
"Dad, look at Auntie's attitude. Xiaoya is so afraid that Auntie will bully me at school."
Ye Aotian was naturally very dissatisfied with Xiaoxi, and then comforted his beloved daughter in various ways.
Ye Xiaoya felt extremely wronged, but then she made up her mind.
"Auntie, even if you don't like me, I will still study hard at school. I don't want my dad to worry; I want to make him proud!"
Xiaoxi was disgusted: "Just you wait and see. You'll soon find out what it means to have your efforts come to nothing."
Butler Qin Bo suddenly appeared, and the timing was just right.
"Young Master, a Mr. Yuan has come to visit. He says he is an old friend of yours."
Before Ye Aotian could process Qin Bo's words, a tall, handsome man walked into the hall.
Ye Aotian was stunned and speechless for a long time.
Upon receiving the news, Fan Rong rushed into the hall. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he was practically going crazy with excitement.
"Yuan Zhen! It really is you! You're not dead? Hahaha, that's great!"
Yuan Zhen hugged Fan Rong, then smiled and looked at Ye Aotian.
"Aotian, it's been a long time! I've come to pick up Xiaoya. Thank you for taking care of my daughter all this time."
