Led by Du Jiayao, the two entered a private room and took their seats. Ye Yifan exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party, and Ye Sanqing took the opportunity to look around.

The room is simply and elegantly decorated, and Du Jiayao's attire reflects this style, suggesting it was likely decorated according to her own preferences. From their conversation, it's clear she is the owner.

I wonder how much money you can make in a month running a restaurant... As Ye Sanqing was thinking, Du Jiayao turned the conversation to her.

"Sanqing, are you settling back home yet?"

"There's nothing I'm not used to," Ye Sanqing replied. It's very difficult to get used to! The whole world has changed; how can I possibly get used to it? But I have to get used to it. I can't exactly say, "I'm an alien, and you're going to give me a way to cross dimensions?"

[...] If the little insect had eyebrows, it would have trembled three times over hearing her inner thoughts. His Majesty's ability to lie through her teeth hasn't diminished at all.

"That's good. If you make any friends here in the future, bring them over for meals too~ I'll give you a discount." Du Jiayao winked playfully, added Ye Sanqing as a friend, and then left to prepare the dishes.

At this moment, Ye Yifan looked at Ye Sanqing, lost in thought. Something seemed off.

This strange feeling started this afternoon.

Ye Sanqing... doesn't seem to have this personality.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, Ye Yifan was confident in his judgment of people. When he met Ye Sanqing before, he felt that the other party was a quiet and reserved person, and other than that, he couldn't see any sharpness in his personality. In other words, he didn't seem to be the type to launch a heavy attack on Ye Wanyin and Cheng Yanye.

Ye Yifan had already received news from Uncle Chen earlier that Cheng Yanye had come to cause trouble and was then beaten out by Ye Sanqing.

She was quite amused when she found out. Cheng Yanye was always arrogant and domineering, relying on being the only son in the family and being pampered by Zhu Xueli. He spent his days fooling around and causing trouble. Only Ye Wanyin could be interested in him. If she weren't too bothered, she would have intervened long ago. Why would she let them cause trouble like this?

However, now that Ye Sanqing has been found, it seems this matter can be resolved incidentally—a pleasant surprise! She was quite satisfied. In a good mood, she invited Ye Sanqing out for dinner.

I wonder what Cheng Yanye's expression was like after he got beaten up. I've decided, I'll check the living room security camera footage when I get home today; I need a good angle.

On the other hand, Ye Sanqing might just be a rabbit that bites when cornered. It'll be good to observe him today.

"So... you don't like her?" Ye Sanqing naturally noticed Ye Yifan's gaze, but she took it calmly. After all, they weren't familiar with each other yet, so it was only natural for him to observe her to decide his future attitude.

"Yes, it's because I don't like her, and it's been going on for a while. That's why I came to you," Ye Yifan nodded.

"It must have been difficult for you to find me, sister. You must have had a hard time. I wonder how such a thing could have happened back then?" Ye Sanqing said, searching his memory.

According to her memories, the original owner of this body was found by Ye Yifan sometime three weeks ago. He immediately claimed she might be the Ye family's lost daughter and demanded a DNA test. Years ago, due to some accident, the original owner had already discovered she wasn't his biological child. However, instead of seeking out her real relatives, she chose to continue her adoptive relationship with her original parents. Therefore, it was quite natural for Ye Yifan to find her; after the test, she chose to return to the Ye family.

“I’m still investigating this matter, and there’s no progress yet. You’ve had a tough time out there for over twenty years,” Ye Yifan said. She had also suspected that Ye Wanyin’s biological parents had deliberately switched her, but she had met those two people and at first glance, there was nothing suspicious about them. After checking, there were no suspicious traces either. As ordinary people, when they learned that Ye Sanqing was not their biological daughter, they tried their best to find her, and even inquired at the hospital from back then. But so much time had passed, and even she couldn’t find anything, let alone the two of them.

"I didn't have a hard life, I just lived a pretty ordinary life and grew up safely. And my parents and sister there were very good to me, they didn't kick me out of the house just because they knew I wasn't their biological child." Ye Sanqing nodded, and then said, "But thinking that even though I'm home now, I'll never see my mother again, I feel a little..." His unfinished words were tinged with regret.

"..." Mentioning her mother, Ye Yifan also felt uncomfortable, and even a little angry, but she did not show it on her face. "Later, I will take you to her grave to pay your respects and tell her the good news."

Ye Sanqing noticed her clenching fist and knew there might be more to the story. "Us? But shouldn't the whole family go together?" In other words, Ye Tian should be leading them all.

"No need," Ye Yifan sneered. "It's better for some people not to go, lest Mom be so angry in the afterlife that she'll come up to you." She knew Ye Sanqing didn't know the inside story, but it wasn't appropriate to explain too clearly now, so she simply explained, "When Mom had a difficult childbirth when she gave birth to the fourth child, Ye Tian wasn't there."

"Oh..." Ye Sanqing uttered a sound of sudden realization. So that's how it is. Although the difficult childbirth was an unexpected event, Ye Tian, ​​as the father, wasn't present. He probably harbored resentment towards Ye Yifan because of this. No wonder he treated him that way at home, and no wonder Ye Yifan is now in charge of the group.

"Let's not talk about him. You'll meet your maternal grandparents and some relatives from your mother's side at the family reunion banquet. Your paternal grandparents and other people will also be there." Ye Yifan said, then stopped talking when he saw Du Jiayao bringing in a waiter to serve the dishes.

After the door to the private room closed again, Ye Sanqing asked, "A banquet?" The original owner of this body also remembered this event; it seemed to be next Friday evening at eight o'clock, which was still about a week away. However, there were no specific participants or details about what would happen.

“Right, I almost forgot.” Ye Yifan said, picking up his phone. “You’ll probably have to make a trip and do some preparations. It’s too late to get a custom-made one now. Go pick out some clothes and make an appointment with a stylist. If you can’t handle it yourself, ask my assistant for help. I’ve sent you her WeChat. I don’t know what style you like, so I won’t make the decision for you. Just pick what you like. If you don’t have enough money, just tell me. Once you’ve chosen, I’ll get you a set of jewelry.”

When Ye Sanqing saw the message, he opened it and saw that it was a transfer of 888,000 yuan.

This is really interesting. Ye Yifan didn't give her any money when they first met, but chose to transfer it to her only today. In other words, there must be some kind of initial assessment of her involved. So, what did she do today to satisfy Ye Yifan? Ye Sanqing blinked and thought, if beating up Ye Wanyin can earn 800,000, considering the average income he heard today, then that's pretty quick money.

"Thank you, big sister." Ye Sanqing nodded and accepted the gift. "Will Ye Wanyin be there too?" She clenched her fist, wondering if she should try to earn another 800,000.

Ye Yifan was certainly testing the waters. She had originally planned that if she and Ye Sanqing didn't get along, she would treat her normally; in that case, a dress costing a few hundred thousand yuan would be sufficient. Judging from the current situation, Ye Sanqing was quite nice, even possessing some of her youthful charm. Indeed, this was her true sister.

"She'll probably be there too, but she's irrelevant. Speaking of which, I'd like to know what you think of her? Or rather, do you think this approach is appropriate?" Ye Yifan naturally knew that not publicly revealing that Ye Wanyin was a fake heiress of the Ye family was unfair to Ye Sanqing.

Well, anyone with a brain knows there's never been any indication that Madam Ye had another child between her second and third sons. The only explanation they could come up with was that one of the twins was lost. But that explanation has too many holes. Not only do the two look completely different, but why hasn't the Ye family searched for the missing twin for so many years? Only Ye Tian thinks this will fool everyone and save him face, little does he know that this is the biggest loss of face for him.

"Of course... it's inappropriate." Although Ye Wanyin didn't mean it, putting aside everything else, just considering that she was a beneficiary of the system, she shouldn't currently enjoy the same treatment, or even the same status, as Ye Sanqing. In other words, it's good that they're still family now, but what if things weren't? Besides, although she doesn't have any attachment to her mother, the original owner might not. "But Ye Tian..." She hesitated for a moment, seemingly still mindful of Ye Tian's status as her father.

"Okay." Ye Yifan nodded. Although he knew Ye Sanqing was unlikely to be the type to swallow his anger, he still needed to confirm things before discussing anything else. "So, what do you think is the best way to handle this matter?"

"What do I think?" Ye Sanqing wasn't quite sure how to answer this question, mainly because she was unsure about the differences in customs between the two worlds. But she could still answer, "The best thing would be to invite my adoptive parents' family to the banquet as well, announce the fact that Ye Wanyin and I are each other's adopted daughters, and then the two families would maintain friendly relations from then on. Another option is for Ye Wanyin to take the initiative to announce this and say that she would move out and have no further connection with the Ye family. But I guess she wouldn't be willing."

Ye Yifan smiled upon hearing this answer, even more satisfied with Ye Sanqing. "With my support, are you willing to try? Don't worry about Ye Tian's attitude." She had originally considered a similar approach, but she was annoyed by Ye Tian's long and tedious lectures, and frankly, this matter didn't affect her own interests, so she didn't need to. But now that Ye Sanqing herself had this idea, she could naturally offer her full support.

"Although it's possible, I have a question." Ye Sanqing thought about the variety show and decided to ask now. "Ye Wanyin has a variety show contract for me to sign tomorrow. It's a family-oriented variety show, but I'm not sure..." By now, she knew how to talk to Ye Yifan. As long as the sentence ended with an ellipsis, he would automatically fill in the appropriate solution for her.

"If a problem can't be solved, let someone else solve it," Ye Yifan said calmly, also taking it as a chance to guide his younger sister. She didn't know about the variety show before, but since it was Ye Wanyin's request, the person who should be working hard to achieve it was Ye Wanyin herself, not someone else having to consider her feelings.

“Then, I know what to do.” Ye Sanqing raised an eyebrow, and the two sisters smiled at each other, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.
