Upon hearing the name Ye's Group, Su Rui's eyes lit up, but she immediately retorted sourly, "You've got the wrong person. Ye has always lived with her grandmother, how could she be the heiress of Ye's Group?"
The only thing she had over Ye Zhizhou was her family background. If Ye Zhizhou really was the daughter of the Ye Group, she had no idea whether she could win Xu Ze's heart.
Only then did the man in the black suit, who was at the head of the group, notice Su Rui, who was soaked by the water.
"If our chairman says so, then she is so, and no one's doubts can change the chairman's decision."
Su Rui's embarrassment was practically written all over her face. She snorted coldly and hurriedly left.
Ye Zhizhou put down the basin of water in his hand. This plot twist was a bit too fast. Wasn't the original owner always a pitiful little thing? When did she get a rich father?
It took Ye Zhizhou half an hour to finally understand.
Ye Huaibin, chairman of the Ye Group, is indeed the original owner's biological father. When he was young, Ye Huaibin offended many people because of his youthful impetuosity. As a dark horse in the business world, he indirectly caused many companies to go bankrupt.
One of them harbored a deep grudge against him, so he set his sights on the young Ye Zhizhou. He abducted Ye Zhizhou, making Ye Huaibin experience the pain of losing his daughter.
Fortunately, Grandma Ye was kind-hearted and took in Ye Zhizhou, who had been kidnapped and abandoned.
"Miss, please come home with us."
The two bowed in unison, both bending down to show respect.
Ye Zhizhou thought about it and still refused.
"No, if I leave, there will be no one to take care of Grandma."
Who wouldn't be happy to have a wealthy father? But Grandma Ye has taken care of the original owner for so long, she can't just abandon Grandma Ye now that she has a wealthy father.
“Then let’s go back together. The chairman said that Ms. Ye Xiufang is his benefactor and we can’t neglect her.”
Ye Zhizhou felt much better; at least her adoptive father was a grateful person.
She didn't know why the original owner's father hadn't come looking for her in the previous storyline. Perhaps it was because she had been reborn and the timeline had been messed up?
Grandma Ye initially disagreed with leaving the old house, having lived there for decades.
But she couldn't leave Ye Zhizhou. Wherever Ye Zhizhou went, she went too. So the two of them got into the car to go to the Ye family's house.
Ye Zhizhou knew nothing about his wealthy father, but having one was better than having none.
"Miss is back!"
The villa door was opened from the inside, and a woman who looked to be around fifty years old greeted Ye Zhizhou warmly.
Ye Zhizhou held Grandma Ye's hand and looked around at the interior decoration. It was quite nice; it seemed her adoptive father had some taste.
“Miss, you can just call me Aunt Zhang. I’ve been a nanny for the Ye family for almost twenty years. I heard you were coming back, so the master specially asked me to prepare a whole table of dishes.” She noticed Grandma Ye behind Ye Zhizhou and added, “And this is…”
Ye Zhizhou gripped Grandma Ye's hand tightly. "This is my grandma. Could you please prepare a room for her as well?"
Zhang Ma had never heard of Grandma Ye, but since it was Ye Zhizhou who gave the order, she quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Miss."
“Our Ye family isn’t a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come and live. You’re the master’s daughter, so of course you can, but she can’t!”
On the second floor of a detached villa, a woman in a silk nightgown looked down at the two people in the living room, her eyes filled with intense hostility.
Ye Zhizhou looked up and said, "He's quite good-looking, so why can't he speak human language?"
She can scold anyone, but she can't scold Grandma Ye.
The woman immediately realized she had been insulted, and by a high school senior girl at that; her expression turned very unpleasant.
"I'm practically your elder. Aren't you afraid your dad will find out if you talk to me like that?"
Elders? Ye Zhizhou looked at Zhang Ma. She really didn't know who this was. According to the person who came to pick her up, Ye Zhizhou's mother died in childbirth when she was young. Her only remaining relatives were Ye Huaibin and her brother Ye Qian.
Aunt Zhang said somewhat embarrassedly, "This is the master's female companion, Ms. Shu Yin."
"What female companion? I'm Huaibin's girlfriend!"
Shu Yin felt very unhappy when Zhang Ma introduced her like that. She had been with Ye Huaibin for almost ten years, but Ye Huaibin could not let go of his deceased wife and did not give her a formal title, which made her feel insecure in front of others.
Even just being Ye Huaibin's girlfriend was enough for her to establish herself in high society. Those who did business with her would give her some benefits out of respect for Ye Huaibin.
Furthermore, since Ye Huaibin hadn't had any other women by his side for so many years, Shu Yin was quite content.
But things are different now. Ye Huaibin's daughter has returned. Ye Zhizhou and her mother are almost identical. Women always harbor greater hostility towards other women.
Shu Yin looked down on Ye Zhizhou for his plain school uniform and for having Ye Xiufang, who looked poor and shabby, behind him.
"At your age, you still have a girlfriend, and an elder at that? Aren't you ashamed?"
Ye Zhizhou thought she was his stepmother and was preparing to unleash his Italian cannon to deliver a powerful blow, but then he realized she was just a backup plan for his father and not worth it.
"Grandma, sit down and eat. You didn't eat well earlier."
She pulled Ye Xiufang down to sit and skillfully served her rice, but Zhang Ma stopped her.
"Miss, please put it down. How could I let you do this?"
As she spoke, Zhang Ma snatched the bowl and chopsticks from Ye Zhizhou's hands and quickly served rice to the two of them.
Ye Zhizhou was a little unaccustomed to being waited on, but of course it was a good thing that she didn't have to do it herself, so she enjoyed it without any qualms.
Shu Yin, who had been left standing to the side, was getting angry. Her high heels slammed on the ground with a crisp sound.
"Ye Zhizhou, you've only just been recognized and you're already so arrogant! I've been with your father for over ten years, don't I count as your elder?"
Shu Yin's wavy hair reached her waist, and her eyes were large, appearing even larger when she stared.
Ye Zhizhou stopped eating with his chopsticks. He wouldn't even let anyone eat in peace. Sigh...
"Don't talk while you eat, it's ruining my appetite."
As expected of an elder in the Ye family, Aunt Zhang's cooking was incredibly delicious; she couldn't stop eating every single dish.
"Grandma, eat this, it won't hurt your teeth."
Ye Xiufang smiled kindly, "Oh, Grandma's eating, you should eat more too."
No one paid any attention to Shu Yin, not even the nanny, Zhang Ma.
Even Zhang Ma was secretly pleased, finally someone could tame the scheming Shu Yin. Shu Yin, relying on being Ye Huaibin's only female companion, had always been arrogant and haughty.
Just as we were eating, the doorbell rang.
Zhang Ma went to open the door, and it was Ye Huaibin.
Shu Yin loosened her clenched fist, not wanting Ye Huaibin to see her angry at Ye Zhizhou.
In order to see his beloved daughter, whom he had been separated from for many years, Ye Huaibin put aside all the work he could.
"Xiao Zhou, Daddy's home!"
