Dong Xinhui? Ye Zhizhou didn't recognize the name, but his surname was Dong, the same as the original owner's mother, Dong Xinqi, and she was said to be the daughter of the Dong family, so they must be related.
"Ye Zhizhou, I am your uncle Dong Xinhui. This is my business card."
Dong Xinhui ignored the health committee member, walked up to Ye Zhizhou, and handed her his business card.
Ye Zhizhou accepted his business card expressionlessly; the three characters "Dong Xinhui" were printed in a bold, elegant script.
Dong Xinhui, the general manager of Xinhui Film Group Co., Ltd.
Xinhui Film Industry, a top-tier company in the film and television industry, no wonder it speaks with such arrogance.
What do you want from me?
The original owner's mother was kicked out of the house back then, so how could the Dong family have the face to come looking for her?
Dong Xinhui understood the source of Ye Zhizhou's hostility towards him. "Can we talk somewhere else?"
Ye Zhizhou refused directly, "No small talk, I don't have time."
She turned around to let Xu Xiaoxiao and the others leave first, but to her surprise, Xu Xiaoxiao and the others had already surrounded Dong Xinhui and started asking for autographs.
Ye Zhizhou pursed his lips and said jokingly, "Aren't you guys my brother's fans? Why are you changing your idols so often?"
Xu Xiaoxiao and the others wore awkward but polite smiles and unconsciously moved closer to Ye Zhizhou.
Question asked online: What should I do if my idol's younger sister sees me asking for an autograph?
Dong Xinhui didn't expect Ye Zhizhou to be so disrespectful, but when he thought that she was his deceased sister's biological daughter, he couldn't get angry.
"When are you free? I'll be staying in Ning City for the time being."
Ye Zhizhou exchanged a glance with him and found that this uncle was alright; he wasn't angry even though she was so cold towards him.
"After the exam in a few days, next weekend."
K University's independent admissions exam is next Wednesday, and before that, she has to spend all her time studying, not wanting to waste a single second.
Dong Xinhui was momentarily stunned. He was a famous director, and no one had ever made him wait before; it was always others who lined up to wait for him.
However, this person is his own niece, so he shouldn't be angry.
"Okay, I'll wait for your call." Dong Xinhui said, then turned and left.
The health committee members were stunned. The famous director Dong Xinhui actually came to the school to find Ye Zhizhou, but was rejected by Ye Zhizhou. However, he was not angry and was willing to wait for Ye Zhizhou to finish his exams. What kind of magical realism plot is this?

When Dong Xinhui arrived in Ning City, the second person he sought out was Ye Huaibin.
When Ye Huaibin received Dong Xinhui's call, he was stunned for a moment. He hadn't seen Dong Xinhui for almost twenty years.
The two met at a coffee shop that wasn't crowded.
Upon meeting, Ye Huaibin and Dong Xinhui shook hands politely, but he could clearly feel that Dong Xinhui was using a bit more force.
“We haven’t seen her since Xinqi’s funeral. Ye Huaibin, why didn’t you tell me when Xiaozhou was found? I’m her uncle, I have the right to know!” Dong Xinhui looked very dissatisfied.
Ye Huaibin sighed deeply, "I haven't even been able to find Xiaozhou for three months. I want her to get used to her home environment and accept her identity first before I tell you."
Actually, he had ulterior motives; he wanted to occupy a larger place in Ye Zhizhou's heart.
Back when he got together with Dong Xinqi, everyone in the Dong family except Dong Xinhui disagreed, believing that Ye Huaibin had no assets and was not good enough for Dong Xinqi.
Although Dong Xinhui wholeheartedly supported them, he himself was powerless at that time and could not help them. He could only watch helplessly as his sister was kicked out of the house.
He was heartbroken for a long time after learning that Dong Xinqi had died in childbirth.
He was the only member of the Dong family present at Dong Xinqi's funeral.
Later, upon learning that her sister's daughter was missing, Dong Xinhui became dissatisfied with Ye Huaibin and has been following the matter closely over the years.
If Ye Qian hadn't posted Ye Zhizhou's video on Weibo, he wouldn't have known that Ye Zhizhou had been found.
In that video, he seemed to see his sister, Dong Xinqi, still alive.
In a moment of excitement, Dong Xinhui temporarily put aside his work and impulsively came to Ning City.
He found that Ye Zhizhou was very indifferent to him, and he felt a brief sense of loss, but then he thought about it again and felt that he could understand.
"Then you should at least tell her that she has an uncle who misses her very much."
After hearing Ye Huaibin's explanation, Dong Xinhui's anger subsided considerably.
Ye Huaibin felt somewhat guilty. "This is my fault. Did you go to the school to look for her?"
They had chatted briefly on WeChat before meeting, as Dong Xinhui had told him.
Dong Xinhui nodded. "She seems distant from me, but she looks a lot like Xinqi, even more so than Ye Qian. Ye Huaibin, if you treat Xiaozhou badly, I'll take her away."
For many years, Dong Xinhui has believed that Ye Huaibin failed to take good care of Ye Zhizhou, who was taken away when he was five years old.
“I will take good care of her, brother. She is my own daughter. How could I not take good care of her?”
Ye Huaibin defended himself.
Dong Xinhui took a sip of coffee. "No matter what, you have to let her meet me."
He needed to make sure Ye Zhizhou was doing well.
“When I went to school today, someone was bullying Xiaozhou. I couldn’t stand it and said a few words.”
Ye Huaibin tensed up, "Is someone bullying Xiaozhou?"
Dong Xinhui nodded. "Ye Huaibin, you said Xiaozhou didn't clean properly and made her clean it again. What kind of father are you? You didn't even know your daughter was being bullied at school."
That evening, Ye Huaibin returned home with a heavy heart and found Ye Zhizhou already studying in the study.
He went upstairs to call Ye Zhizhou for dinner, and sat down to chat with him.
"Xiaozhou, you must tell your father if anything is wrong. Don't keep it to yourself."
Ye Zhizhou looked at Ye Huaibin with a puzzled expression. Why was her father suddenly being so emotional?
"I'm fine, Dad, what's wrong?"
Ye Huaibin felt a pang of pain in his heart. How could his daughter be so sensible, refusing to say anything even when she was wronged at school?
"Did your uncle come to see you today? He told me you were bullied, Xiaozhou. How about we stay home for a while and not go to school? Dad will hire a tutor for all subjects for you."
Ye Zhizhou: ...
She almost thought she was an autistic child.
"Dad, it's nothing, Uncle is making a mountain out of a molehill."
However, she understood something from Ye Huaibin's words: Dong Xinhui was indeed her uncle, and her uncle and father did not have a strained relationship.
"It seems I haven't invested enough in the school. I'll have Xiao Chen draft another project tomorrow, then no one will dare to bully you."
Ye Huaibin always felt that Ye Zhizhou was afraid of causing trouble for his family, so he didn't dare to say anything and prepared to send a WeChat message to Xiao Chen on his own.
Ye Zhizhou: ...
Investing on a whim? Is money really that easy to make?
"Dad, didn't Aunt Zhang say that Mom was kicked out of the house? What happened to Uncle?"
