After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Ye Wanyin carefully managed her expression, putting on a pitiful smile as if she were afraid of Ye Sanqing, and slowly walked behind Cheng Yanye.

"Her positioning is very deliberate; it perfectly evokes a man's protective instincts," Ye Sanqing commented emotionlessly.

[It must be said that Ye Wanyin has some potential as an actress.] Xiaochong commented.

"Sister..." Ye Wanyin opened her mouth, but tears streamed down her face again, looking like she was "I'm wronged but I don't dare to say it."

Upon seeing Ye Wanyin's expression, Cheng Yanye naturally added fuel to the fire, immediately rolling up his sleeves and saying, "Wanwan, don't treat her like an older sister! She didn't treat you like a younger sister when she hit you!"

“She wasn’t originally my sister,” Ye Sanqing said.

As soon as she finished speaking, both of them looked at her in fear.

Cheng Yanye knew that Ye Wanyin was not his biological daughter. Ye Wanyin had chosen to be honest with him as soon as Ye Sanqing returned, which made him feel even more sorry for her and understand why Wanwan always seemed to be suffering at home. It's possible that Ye Da and Ye Er had known this all along, no, it's possible that the entire Ye family knew, but they were just keeping it from Wanwan and bullying her alone.

Ye Wanyin's face turned pale. She wondered if Ye Sanqing intended to continue saying this, even to the outside world. Ye Tian had previously warned Ye Sanqing not to tell anyone, as the existence of a real and fake heiress would only become gossip. Ye Sanqing had agreed then. Judging from her current nonchalant attitude, she was clearly planning to outwardly comply but inwardly defy her. This wouldn't do. She had to hold out until Ye Sanqing married into the Cheng family, and at least… until the variety show was over.

A variety show! Ye Wanyin was taken aback. In her panic after being suddenly attacked by Ye Sanqing today, she hadn't even thought of this. This was a resource she had worked so hard to obtain, for which she had spent a considerable amount of her own savings, and she had finally managed to persuade Ye Sanqing to go with her. She couldn't let it fall through like this; was her first step towards fame going to be cut short like this?

Ye Wanyin looked very conflicted, which Ye Sanqing noticed, and immediately spoke up: "Ye Wanyin, Cheng Yanye said he wanted to hit me to get revenge for you. Did you tell him to do that?"

"Sister, you've misunderstood. I... I didn't mean that..." Ye Wanyin quietly tugged at Cheng Yanye's sleeve. She had initially wanted to see Ye Sanqing get beaten up, but this was the hottest family variety show right now, and she was afraid Ye Sanqing would refuse to go in a fit of anger—the contract hadn't even been signed yet! She'd been careless, she thought bitterly. Besides, if Ye Sanqing didn't go, only Ye Siqing would be willing to go with her, but Ye Siqing was still in school; Ye Tian would never agree to him abandoning his studies to accompany her on this kind of thing.

But in Cheng Yanye's eyes, this was the best evidence that Ye Wanyin was afraid of Ye Sanqing. He completely failed to grasp Ye Wanyin's meaning and even retorted, "Wanwan isn't as vicious as you! I couldn't stand it anymore, that's why I came to find you!"

"Really? You mean, you came to my door today wanting to beat me up, and it was all your doing? It has nothing to do with Ye Wanyin?" Ye Sanqing chuckled, glancing at Ye Wanyin again. Ye Wanyin noticed her gaze and hid behind Cheng Yanye. She silently prayed that Cheng Yanye would divert the hatred, so it wouldn't affect her variety show.

"That's right!" Cheng Yanye noticed Ye Wanyin's hesitation behind him and felt even more determined not to back down. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you too badly, just teach you a lesson!"

"Well... you'll have to be able to hit me first." Ye Sanqing's aura shifted as soon as she finished speaking. She took a step forward and delivered a powerful punch to Cheng Yanye's face. Perfectly, a matching couple's scar on the same spot as Ye Wanyin's face.

Caught off guard, Cheng Yanye was sent flying backward by her punch, barely managing to catch him from behind. Shocked and enraged, he shouted, "Ye Sanqing! You have no sportsmanship!"

At this moment, Ye Wanyin exclaimed in shock, "Sister! How could you hit him!" While speaking, she tried to comfort Cheng Yanye, feeling somewhat relieved that the fist hadn't landed on her.

"What? He broke into my house and attacked me, I defended myself, what's the problem?" Ye Sanqing shook her wrist, slightly shaken, but still within acceptable limits. Cheng Yanye came to her door, she thought he was some kind of fighter, but he was knocked down with one punch? It seems that although this body is not as strong as before, it actually has some potential, and with some training, it should be enough to defend oneself.

"Indeed, I just checked the laws here, and in his case, the police can be called," Little Bug chimed in at the opportune moment.

"Calling the police is an option, but it depends on their subsequent attitude." Hearing Xiao Chong's suggestion, Ye Sanqing reconsidered. He realized he should exercise his rights legally and reasonably. If Xiao Chong continued to pester him, then calling the police would be the best course of action; after all, the other party was in the wrong, and that was true in every world.

Cheng Yanye was speechless for a moment after being punched by her. Was this the kind of strength a woman should have? He could have let the punch go, but Wanwan had just taken one too, and thinking about it, he perked up again, "Fine, fine, you're so great, you even hit me?"

"Then why don't you call the police?" Ye Sanqing shrugged. "It's not that I don't want you to hit them, but the question is, can you even hit them?" Then he gave a mocking smile.

If this guy hadn't looked down on women, she wouldn't have used so much effort. After all, she'd never heard such words before in her original world, and was a little surprised, unable to resist testing the differences between men and women here. They seemed pretty much the same, frail and weak.

"Sister! I'm sorry!" Ye Wanyin felt Cheng Yanye trembling with anger and immediately shouted, "I can't let things continue like this!" It seemed she was destined to suffer this loss today, so she might as well kneel down and apologize now, and deal with the matter later.

"What are you apologizing for?" Cheng Yanye said angrily, "It's clearly her fault!" His male pride was hurt, and he completely ignored Ye Wanyin's attitude of trying to settle things peacefully.

"Then tell me, where did I go wrong?" Ye Sanqing looked at Ye Wanyin. "Do you also think it was my sister's fault?"

She emphasized the word "sister." Judging from Ye Wanyin's expression, she must still need her help; whatever it was, she could use it now.

“No, sister did nothing wrong!” Ye Wanyin answered firmly, and pulled back Cheng Yanye, who was itching to apologize. “I was wrong today. I shouldn’t have ignored sister’s advice. I…” She gritted her teeth, but hesitated when she was about to apologize.

"Alright, I didn't ask if you were right or wrong, anyway, I wasn't wrong." Ye Sanqing didn't care whether she apologized or not, since an apology would be fake anyway. She waved her hand, "Retreat... no, don't come looking for me if there's nothing wrong."

"Then I'll take Brother Ye back first." Ye Wanyin pulled Cheng Yanye outside. "By the way, sister, don't forget about signing the contract tomorrow." Although there was only one day left, Ye Sanqing was acting unusually today. He couldn't be careless until the contract was signed.

Ye Sanqing smiled noncommittally.

[Signing a contract?]
