Ye Huailing was actually happy to see her mother angry. The fact that the mother and daughter were so in agreement on how to judge people must mean that Ye Zhizhou was the problem.
"But I heard from Shu Yin that her older brother dotes on his daughter. She must be spoiled by him to be like this! The clothes he buys for her cost millions."
When Ye's mother heard that it was several million, her heart skipped a beat. Several million was no small sum. Ye Huaibin had only given them 20 million when he wanted to sever ties with them, and he had spent several million on clothes for his daughter. This was unacceptable.
“We can’t let him spoil her like this anymore. She’s going to get married someday. Why should we spend so much money on her? What else did Shu Yin say to you?”
In order to please Ye Huaibin and ease the tension between him and his family, Shu Yin deliberately became very close to Ye Huailing.
Ye Huailing felt that Shu Yin was a suitable friend for her in terms of both appearance and status. Over the years, she has kept in touch with Shu Yin and told her everything she knew about Ye Huaibin.
In Ye Huailing's eyes, Shu Yin was a better match for her brother Ye Huaibin than Dong Xinqi. Most importantly, Shu Yin was perceptive and often gave her all sorts of high-end gifts. Over the years, Ye Huailing and her mother had almost squandered all the money Ye Huaibin had given them. She often sold these gifts to raise some money and trusted Shu Yin very much.
"She and Shu Qiong went to my brother's house as guests, and my brother's daughter didn't give them a good look. You can imagine what kind of life she had before. Could she have lived so well without my brother? Her temperament is no match for Shu Qiong, but she has quite a temper."
Ye Huailing grew angrier as she thought about what Shu Yin had said.
After thinking for a while, Ye's mother said, "I need to go to your brother's house."
Ye Huailing was overjoyed. Her brother, Ye Huaibin, always listened to their mother the most. As long as their mother intervened, Ye Huaibin would definitely discipline his daughter strictly for their mother's sake.

The soft light shines on the trees, and the sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, creating dappled patterns that sway with the gentle breeze.
This was a physical education class. Ye Zhizhou stood under a tree quietly reading. She didn't really like physical education because the sun was too bright. Originally, this class was taken over by the math teacher, but he had something come up and it was changed back.
Fortunately, the senior high school students were only thinking about studying and didn't have any interest in stretching their bodies.
Suddenly, a basketball came flying at her. Ye Zhizhou dodged quickly, and the basketball hit the tree trunk behind her, bounced back, and finally stopped less than five meters away from her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Are you alright?"
The wheat-skinned boy stood in the sunlight, his eyes naturally wrinkling. His features were handsome, but compared to Qin Xuan, he seemed to fall short.
Ye Zhizhou shook his head, indicating that it was nothing.
"Quick reaction."
Qin Xuan walked over from the other side. He had been playing basketball earlier, and because of the heat, he had taken off his shirt.
Ye Zhizhou inadvertently caught sight of his abs. She thought she had strong willpower, but it turned out she was a little weak and almost lost her composure.
Would you like some water?
She handed him the bottled water, which Qin Xuan accepted naturally.
"Qin Xuan, you actually accept water from girls? Who are you two...?" The tanned boy looked at the two of them curiously.
Ye Zhizhou quickly replied, "My deskmate."
Qin Xuan took a few sips of water, and sweat slid down his neck. Ye Zhizhou couldn't help but swallow. She finally understood why those girls liked to idolize celebrities. Faced with such a stunningly beautiful man, she could only say one thing: He's fucking gorgeous!
"Brother Lu, this is the water I bought for you!"
A short-haired girl jogged over with a bottle of mineral water in her hand. Seeing Ye Zhizhou handing water to Qin Xuan, she seemed encouraged and also offered water to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing rejected her and dragged Qin Xuan to continue playing ball.
Ye Zhizhou and the short-haired girl stood still. She put down the bottled water that Qin Xuan had drunk from and continued reading.
"You're Ye Qian's sister, Ye Zhizhou? My name is Chen Xue. I'm so envious of you; even Qin Xuan didn't reject you."
Ye Zhizhou closed the book. "Don't misunderstand. He and I are deskmates. I gave him water because I saw he was sweating. We have different purposes."
After saying that, she picked up her things and walked away. She needed a quiet place to read, otherwise she would definitely not be able to concentrate.
Chen Xue watched Ye Zhizhou's departing figure with a flushed face, feeling as if her inferiority complex had been laid bare and exposed to the sun.
"You're really useless. Look at Ye Zhizhou. She's the sister of a movie star and has a wealthy father. How hard would it be for her to pursue Qin Xuan? She just doesn't bother talking to someone like you."
Chen Jing led Li Nian and the others around to Chen Xue's side. She had disliked Ye Zhizhou for a long time. Ye Zhizhou had made her lose face so badly last time, and she had always kept it in mind. However, she knew Ye Zhizhou's background and did not dare to offend him, so she did not cause him any more trouble.
But that doesn't mean she can't use someone else to do her dirty work.
When Chen Xue saw it was them, she immediately tried to escape, but Chen Jing pulled her back.
"Don't you want to be with Lu Qing? If you listen to me, I promise I'll let you go on a date with Lu Qing."
Chen Xue was intrigued by Chen Jing's confident demeanor, and she cautiously asked, "Sister Jing, can you really let me go on a date with him?"
Chen Jing thought to herself, "Of course not," but her face remained calm and composed.
"Of course, you know my status at school, but you have to do as I say, or forget about it."
Dating Lu Qing had always been Chen Xue's dream, so she hesitated for a moment before agreeing. But after hearing Chen Jing's plan, she hesitated again.
"Sister Jing, I don't dare... I, I'm a coward..."
Chen Jing's expression changed. "Lu Qing is my cousin. If you don't agree, I'll make sure he never speaks to you again."
These words were so powerful that Chen Xue immediately agreed without any hesitation.
After PE get out of class, Ye Zhizhou walked to the classroom alone. She didn't like taking the crowded route; she chose the more secluded one.
"Ye Zhizhou, can you do me a favor?"
It was Chen Xue from earlier. Ye Zhizhou had a vague impression of her, but she was also suspicious. She wasn't familiar with Chen Xue, so why would Chen Xue contact her if she needed something?
"What's up?"
Chen Xue gripped the hem of her school uniform shirt with both hands. "The teacher asked me to move some materials, but I can't carry them. Can you help me?"
Ye Zhizhou nodded and followed Chen Xue forward to a classroom. From the outside, it seemed that there was hardly anyone inside.
"It's inside." Chen Xue's voice rose slightly.
Ye Zhizhou didn't pay attention and followed her into the classroom. As soon as she entered, a black plastic bag was thrown over her head, blindfolding her. Then someone tried to tie her arms from behind.
