Ye Huailing always heard people say that her brother's adopted daughter was well-behaved and cute, so how could she be so rude? It's okay for her to speak like that as an elder, but Ye Zhizhou can't say that.
"Hmph, you don't act like a proper young lady at all. I don't know why your brother brought you back. You're just like your mother, you're not destined for wealth and status. Go back to where you came from!"
She sat down on the leather sofa in the Ye family's living room with practiced ease, speaking in a disdainful tone.
Ye Zhizhou didn't speak. She thought to herself, "The original owner's biological mother must have been so angry that she had a difficult childbirth."
"Zhang Ma, can you smell it? There's a bad smell in the house."
Aunt Zhang agreed, "There is indeed a foul smell, and I don't know where it's coming from."
Ye Zhizhou smiled and said, "The sofa is the most fragrant. After everyone leaves, tell Dad to change to another sofa. I won't sit on this sofa anymore."
Zhang Ma knew that Ye Zhizhou was talking about Ye Huailing, and she disliked Ye Huailing even more than Ye Zhizhou did.
Unlike Shu Yin's arrogance, Ye Huailing was more shrewish and unreasonable, always trying to move into the Ye family. Zhang Ma felt that Ye Huaibin had already done more than enough, having given a lot of money to sever ties with the Ye family.
If she were Ye Huailing, she wouldn't have the face to come.
"Ye Zhizhou, who do you think you are, daring to insult me indirectly? People from your Dong family have always been so arrogant, thinking that just because you're good-looking you can do whatever you want. Sooner or later you'll be begging for my forgiveness!"
Ye Huailing was sharp-tongued, as if she were the head of the Ye family.
The Dong family, the family of Ye Zhizhou's mother, is a prominent family in Haishi, while the Ye family are just ordinary citizens of Haishi.
Ye Huaibin brought his mother, Dong Xinqi, to Ning City for his career, and in less than five years he achieved top success.
The Ye family members also came to Ning City.
Because of Dong Xinqi's marriage to Ye Huaibin, the Dong family disowned Dong Xinqi as their daughter. Ye Huaibin's family, especially Ye Huaibin's mother, felt that her son was successful and that Dong Xinqi was not good enough for him without the support of the Dong family.
Ye Huailing had always been jealous of Dong Xinqi's background and beauty, especially when she saw that Ye Zhizhou and Dong Xinqi looked seven or eight parts alike, her long-standing inferiority complex began to resurface.
Ye Zhizhou said coldly, "Being good-looking means you can do whatever you want. I think Miss Ye should get plastic surgery. Looking at your face, I really don't want to say anything."
Zhang Ma was initially worried that Ye Zhizhou would be intimidated by Ye Huailing's fiery temper, but now she realized that Ye Zhizhou could handle anyone with ease, truly worthy of being the daughter of the Ye family.
Although both are members of the Ye family, Ye Huailing is far inferior to Ye Zhizhou in both appearance and demeanor.
Ye Huailing realized she couldn't win an argument with Ye Zhizhou, so she retorted defiantly, "Dong Xinqi herself has no ability, but she gave birth to a sharp-tongued daughter like you. You wait, if I can't handle you, someone else will."
As she picked up her bag and prepared to leave, she noticed Ye Zhizhou's clothes and her eyes widened. It was a limited edition dress by Italian designer Peter, of which only one hundred existed in the world.
“My brother is just like before, he’s really willing to spend money on you. Humph, you mother and daughter are practically sucking the blood out of our Ye family.”
Ye Zhizhou felt that Ye Huailing's logic was a bit flawed, "Who was adopted, you or my dad?"
Ye Huailing gripped her bag tightly. "What do you mean?"
Ye Zhizhou carried a glass of milk upstairs, saying as he went, "My dad has an exceptionally high IQ and EQ, while your IQ is more like some kind of chubby, white creature."
Enraged, Ye Huailing lunged forward, intending to punch Ye Zhizhou.
You dare call me a pig!
Ye Zhizhou held up the hot milk in his hand and said, "I never curse. If you really want to fight, I can let you experience a hot milk bath."
This is her home after all; how could she let Ye Huailing gain the upper hand?
Looking at the steaming milk in Ye Zhizhou's hand and her resolute gaze, Ye Huailing felt as if her legs were filled with lead and she couldn't move.
After hesitating for a long time, Ye Huailing snorted defiantly and turned to leave the Ye family.
Ye Zhizhou raised an eyebrow. She thought Ye Huailing was so powerful, but it turned out she only had this much fighting ability.
Back in her bedroom, she glanced at her phone instinctively. Sure enough, her brother was still the one who sent the most messages; there were five more in just a short while.
"Zhouzhou, this is my new look. What do you think? Am I handsome?"
In the picture, Ye Qian is wearing a light blue ancient costume. He recently starred in an ancient costume drama.
Ye Zhizhou typed two words symbolically: "Beautiful."
I put down my phone and continued working on my problems when Ye Huaibin called.
“Xiaozhou, I heard from Aunt Zhang that your aunt went to our house. Did she say a lot of unpleasant things? Dad has already told her that she is not allowed to go to our house again. Don’t worry, Dad couldn’t protect you and your mother before, but this time I will definitely not let you get hurt again.”
Ye Huaibin's voice sounded choked with emotion on the phone.
He must be missing Dong Xinqi, Ye Zhizhou thought to himself, and replied, "No one can bully me, my dad is the richest man in the world."
She wasn't very good at comforting people, but she wanted to say something to make Ye Huaibin feel better.
Besides, she has such a strong mentality; it takes real skill to make her angry.
Ye Huaibin was initially very worried about Ye Zhizhou, but he was almost amused by Ye Zhizhou's words. He thought to himself, "Luckily, my daughter isn't as gentle as my wife."
"Xiao Zhou is right, Dad has gone back to the meeting, but he'll be back as soon as possible."
Ye Zhizhou hummed in agreement and hung up the phone.
Suddenly remembering what Ye Huailing had said after looking at her clothes, she turned on her computer to search for information about the clothes. When she saw the nearly seven-figure number on the screen, she was stunned.
She knew her dad was rich, but she never imagined he was this rich...
Luckily, she was a time traveler; otherwise, she might have become an arrogant and wasteful spendthrift due to her sudden wealth.
She closed the webpage and devoted herself entirely to studying.

Ye Huailing returned home furious after leaving the Ye family mansion. She was middle-aged and, due to her appearance and irritable temper, was still unmarried and lived with her mother.
However, Ye Huaibin provided them with enough living expenses, so their lives weren't too hard, but compared to the Ye family's life, it was worlds apart.
"Mom, I went to see my brother's niece today. She's absolutely outrageous! How could our Ye family have such a granddaughter!"
As soon as Ye Huailing got home, she couldn't help but complain to her mother.
Upon hearing what had happened, Ye's mother flew into a rage. "Outrageous! She's even worse than her mother! Dong Xinqi is utterly useless, giving birth to such a money-losing brat!"
Although Ye's mother is now wealthy, she still holds old-fashioned ideas and believes that only boys are useful to the family. Therefore, she dislikes Ye Zhizhou. With Ye Huailing adding fuel to the fire, she is eager to go to the Ye family to teach Ye Zhizhou a lesson right now.
