Zhang Ma started preparing lunch in the morning, and by the time Shu Yin and her daughter arrived, the food was already ready and placed on the table.
Ye Zhizhou warmly moved a chair out for Shu Yin, "Aunt Shu, please sit down."
Shu Yin looked puzzled, feeling that Ye Zhizhou's attitude towards her had changed too much, but she didn't think much of it, since she and Ye Zhizhou hadn't had any conflicts during this time.
“Xiao Zhou is becoming more and more sensible, Huai Bin, I’m so happy for you.”
Ye Huaibin smiled faintly; he thought so too.
"Xiao Zhou is not only sensible, but also has excellent academic performance. In this K University independent enrollment exam, only she and Qin Xuan from No. 3 Middle School passed." Ye Huaibin couldn't help but praise Ye Zhizhou. He glanced at Shu Qiong and added, "Of course, Xiao Qiong is also very good, but don't be discouraged. There's still the college entrance examination."
Shu Yin pursed her lips, feeling resentful that her daughter couldn't compare to Ye Zhizhou.
"Your Uncle Ye is right, Shu Qiong. You should learn more from Xiao Zhou and do well in the college entrance examination."
Shu Qiong held her chopsticks, but couldn't bring herself to eat the meat she had just picked up.
"Um, Mom, Uncle Ye, my stomach doesn't feel right, I need to go to the restroom."
She got up and walked towards the bathroom.
Ye Zhizhou smiled. This was the perfect opportunity. She had accidentally spilled oil on her clothes and, under the pretext of washing them, also came to the bathroom. She stopped Shu Qiong before she locked the door, went in, and then gently closed the door, leaving a crack.
"Ye Zhizhou, what do you want to do?" Shu Qiong looked at Ye Zhizhou warily. She glanced at the restaurant and deliberately turned the volume down a bit.
Ye Zhizhou held up the previous screenshots, all of which were posts where Shu Qiong used Du Mingxin's account to argue with people.
"Du Mingxin said she gave you her account, Shu Qiong, why are you targeting me like this? I have no grudge against you, do I?"
Shu Qiong's expression changed drastically. "What nonsense are you talking about? What evidence do you have to prove that I did it? Don't accuse me without evidence. This was posted by Du Mingxin!"
Ye Zhizhou was not in a hurry, but instead patiently guided him.
“If you didn’t do it, why are you panicking? Du Mingxin has already dropped out of school. I don’t know her at all. If I hadn’t run into her a couple of days ago, I probably would have been kept in the dark the whole time. Shu Qiong, as long as you apologize to me, this matter will be over.”
Shu Qiong snorted coldly, "Don't even think about me apologizing to you, Ye Zhizhou. Aren't you just relying on your father and brother? Without them, what do you have to compare with me?"
Ye Zhizhou suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. Although dealing with the green tea bitch was difficult, the thought of the outcome made her feel less disgusted.
"You need to have it first, right?"
Shu Qiong was stunned, then became furious and embarrassed. "Even without me, I'm still better than you. Get out!"
Ye Zhizhou was speechless. This was her home. Did Shu Qiong even have a brain?
Forget it, I shouldn't be too calculating with my low IQ.
"Qiao Shuxu told me that you asked him to help frame me for cheating, Shu Qiong, is that all true?"
Shu Qiong was shocked. She hadn't expected that even Qiao Shuxu would betray her. She clearly remembered that Qiao Shuxu had said she wouldn't let Ye Zhizhou know it was her. Why did Qiao Shuxu go back on her word?
"What are you saying? I don't understand!"
She planned to deny it to the death, and as long as she didn't admit it, Ye Zhizhou wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
Ye Zhizhou pursed his lips, leaned back, and rested against the bathroom door.
"Shu Qiong, I know you hate me, but you can't treat me like this! You framed me for cheating and posted on the forum questioning me. I'm the one who's in your way. I'll go out and ask my dad to transfer me to another school!"
She spoke with great grievance, her voice trembling with tears.
Shu Qiong was startled by her sudden change in attitude. "Ye Zhizhou, stop pretending. You want me to apologize to you? Dream on!"
Suddenly, the bathroom door was opened from the outside. Ye Huaibin glared angrily at Shu Qiong. Ye Zhizhou lost her balance and almost fell, but Ye Huaibin helped her up.
"Shu Qiong, what you've done to my daughter is too much. I've never mistreated you or your daughter since I got together with your mother. My precious daughter has only been back for less than two months, and you can't even tolerate her anymore. If that's the case, then leave the Ye family and never come back again."
Ye Huaibin, being a man, possessed good manners that prevented him from verbally abusing Shu Yin and her daughter.
Just now, Zhang Ma came to tell him that there seemed to be a commotion in the bathroom. He didn't believe it at first, but after listening for a while at the bathroom door, he heard his daughter say so humbly that she wanted to transfer schools.
He was also wondering why his daughter had been so down lately; it turned out that Shu Qiong was behind it all.
Shu Yin never expected that just coming to have a meal would lead to Shu Qiong arguing with Ye Zhizhou in the bathroom, and Shu Qiong even saying such hurtful things to Ye Zhizhou.
She could tell at a glance that Ye Huaibin was truly angry, and she realized that she had underestimated Ye Zhizhou's abilities and the importance Ye Huaibin placed on him.
“Huaibin, Xiaoqiong is still young, please forgive her this time. Children are all a little jealous. She is jealous that Ye Zhizhou has such a good father as you. I will teach her a good lesson when I get back.”
Ye Zhizhou said innocently, "Dad, I'm not worthy to be your daughter. Xiao Qiong is the only worthy one. She's much better than me. I'd rather go back to my old home with Grandma."
As she was saying this, she prepared to go find Ye Xiufang, but Ye Huaibin stopped her.
He looked at his daughter with heartache. How could his precious daughter, whom he had searched for over a decade to finally find, be treated like this?
"You are Dad's biological daughter, no one else deserves you!"
Shu Yin's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly pulled Shu Qiong back, making her apologize to Ye Zhizhou.
Shu Qiong was stunned. Ye Huaibin was too serious, and she couldn't say a word for a moment.
Ye Huaibin sneered, "No need to apologize. You and your daughter can leave now."
He had already made up his mind that he couldn't let his daughter get hurt in the slightest. To him, Shu Yin was just a female companion, but he only had one daughter!
Shu Yin frowned, unsure whether Ye Huaibin meant they should stop coming to the Ye residence or that he intended to end all contact with her altogether.
She asked cautiously, "Huaibin, what about our future...?"
“There is no future for us. Out of consideration for our past relationship, I will not terminate the order I gave you, but we will not cooperate again after the cooperation ends.”
Ye Huaibin spoke very firmly, leaving Shu Yin no room to return to Huan.
Shu Yin looked pale and sickly. The crisp lotus root she had just eaten tasted bitter. She had always relied on Ye Huaibin to develop the company, and she might not have the chance again.
"Xiao Qiong, apologize to Xiao Zhou right now!" She tried to struggle a bit more, pulling Shu Qiong in front of Ye Zhizhou and forcing her to apologize to him.
Shu Qiong's eyes were red, as if she was about to cry, and she looked pitiful.
Before she could apologize, Ye Zhizhou started crying.
"Dad, it's all my fault. I caused you and Aunt Shu to have a falling out. I'd better leave!"
Shu Yin: ? ? ?
