Ye Zhizhou noticed that the nanny's eyes were darting around, as if she had something difficult to say. She decisively pushed open the door and went in.
The nanny hurriedly followed behind her, saying, "Miss Ye, Miss Ye, you can't go in."
Ye Zhizhou didn't pay attention to her words. Instead, she calmly walked into the living room and sat on the sofa. She had just been here yesterday and remembered the layout of the Dong residence. If she remembered correctly, Old Madam Dong lived in the room by the entrance on the second floor.
It's right at the top of the stairs, making it convenient for her to go downstairs.
"Ye Zhizhou, how can you be so shameless? I told you Grandma doesn't welcome you, you should go back to your Ning City!"
Dong Wenyu was surprised that Ye Zhizhou would barge in, and her tone towards Ye Zhizhou was unfriendly.
Ye Zhizhou sat on the sofa and looked up at Dong Wenyu at the top of the stairs.
"Are you the old lady herself? You even know what she's thinking. Do you still want to inherit the Dong Group?"
Dong Wenyu, her true feelings exposed, quickly retorted, "What are you talking about? I think you're the one coveting our Dong family's property. You know we don't welcome you, yet you still insist on coming here."
A hint of panic appeared on her face. She had always wanted to inherit the Dong Group, but she knew she didn't have the ability. After all, with Dong Wenfeng around, and now that Dong Wenfeng had caused a huge disaster, she was naturally the first choice to succeed him.
Ye Zhizhou smiled slightly, not taking Dong Wenyu's slander to heart.
“I look down on the Dong Group. The Ye Group is no worse than the Dong Group now. In the future, I will have my own career, unlike some people who only depend on others.”
Dong Wenyu's expression began to spiral out of control. She couldn't understand what right Ye Zhizhou had to act so arrogantly in front of her.
"You're not very old, but you're quite arrogant. Do you think you can climb to the top on your own? Even a behemoth like the Dong Group can decline over time. Even if you do have a career, without the support of substantial capital, it will only be a flash in the pan."
At this moment, Old Mrs. Dong came out of the room. She was thin and looked intently at Ye Zhizhou.
She already knew about Ye Zhizhou's arrival, but she didn't show herself, wanting to see how Ye Zhizhou would deal with Dong Wenyu. As a result, Dong Wenyu lost her composure under Ye Zhizhou's domineering presence.
Ye Zhizhou looked at Old Madam Dong standing upstairs, his eyes showing no sign of insecurity. "Old Madam, people have to learn to be flexible. I can't always stick to the same management style. How do you know I won't be able to keep going?"
Instead of getting angry, Old Mrs. Dong smiled, but the smile was short-lived, and she quickly returned to her usual cold expression.
She walked down the stairs step by step, and the nanny rushed up to help her down.
When Dong Wenyu saw Old Madam Dong come out, she was so frightened that she dared not say a word, for fear that the old lady would think of what happened yesterday and punish her again.
What brings you here today?
After going down to the first floor, Grandma Dong sat directly on the sofa opposite Ye Zhizhou.
The grandfather and grandson faced each other. Ye Zhizhou picked up the food box and said, "I ranked third in the city in the college entrance examination, so I specially made some snacks to celebrate. I just made some cheese bread, have a taste."
Dong Wenyu stared in surprise at the food box on the coffee table. Ye Zhizhou would actually take the initiative to make something and send it over. Was she crazy? Did she think that her little tricks could make Old Madam Dong change her mind?
"Tch, what kind of snacks can't the old lady eat? Besides, what you make might not even be good!"
Grandma Dong frowned, but still didn't say anything.
Ye Zhizhou pushed the food box over, then looked at Dong Wenyu and said, "It's not for you to eat, why are you so agitated? Whether you want to eat it or not depends on whether I want to give it to you."
Dong Wenyu was stunned. "You!"
Grandma Dong spoke up, "Alright, Wenyu, go upstairs."
Dong Wenyu bit her lower lip tightly. She didn't expect that Old Madam Dong would not side with her. She was so angry that she stomped her feet loudly as she went upstairs.
Ye Zhizhou pretended not to hear, opened the food box, and spread out the contents for Old Mrs. Dong to see.
Grandma Dong's gaze lingered on the bread for a moment, her expression remaining unchanged.
"I told you I hate you, and I won't eat anything you send. Don't think that just because you got third place in Ning City, you can change my opinion of the Ye family. There are some things I can never forgive in this lifetime!"
Ye Zhizhou raised an eyebrow. It was really difficult to communicate with the stubborn old lady, but it didn't matter, she could stay in Haishi for quite a while.
"I've delivered the food. Whether you eat it or not is up to you. I'm leaving."
Grandma Dong was somewhat surprised. She thought Ye Zhizhou would insist for a while until she ate the bread, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of time?
She watched Ye Zhizhou walk all the way to the door, and waited for him to turn back, but Ye Zhizhou decisively left the Dong residence.
The nanny closed the door and saw that Grandma Dong was in a daze, so she assumed that she didn't want to eat the bread on the coffee table.
"Madam, should I throw this bread away?"
Grandma Dong suddenly reacted strongly, "Don't throw it away! Go get me a piece, I want to try it."
The nanny's face was full of surprise. The old lady's temperament seemed to have become even stranger. Although she seemed to be very resistant to Ye Zhizhou on the surface, she not only did not throw away the bread that Ye Zhizhou brought, but she actually ate it.
Despite her doubts, she still took out the bread.
Grandma Dong's gaze fell on the bread, and her serious expression softened a little. "It looks quite good, but I wonder how it tastes."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of food, put it in her mouth, and chewed for a while.
"Madam, is it delicious?" The nanny asked curiously, looking at Old Mrs. Dong.
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, I thought to myself, "It must not taste good."
Just as she was about to put the food box away and throw it away, Old Mrs. Dong spoke up.
"Not bad, let's leave it as a dessert this afternoon."
The nanny was taken aback. Did the old lady approve of Ye Zhizhou?

Upon returning to the Huo residence, Ye Zhizhou discovered an uninvited guest.
"Brother, what brings you here?"
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Ye Qian and Qin Xuan sitting in the living room playing video games.
The difference in their expressions clearly indicated the winner. Qin Xuan remained silent throughout, gripping the controller with lightning speed and agile movements.
Looking at Ye Qian, he kept shouting that he had to win, but his hand speed was a beat slower.
When Ye Qian saw that Ye Zhizhou had returned, he simply put down the controller, which was better than losing and being embarrassed later.
"Zhouzhou, I'm worried about you, and besides, it's been so long since I've seen you."
He would never have stepped into the neighborhood where the Dong residence was located, but thinking of his sister at the Huo residence, he rushed over.
Ye Zhizhou frowned. "With Qin Xuan here, what is there to worry about?"
Ye Qian looked at Qin Xuan beside him, indignantly, "It's precisely because he's here that I'm not at ease. Don't be fooled by his appearance."
Ye Zhizhou: ...
She was worried that she wouldn't be able to control herself, and that her brother might have misunderstood Qin Xuan.
