Reborn as a heiress, she transforms into a ruthless vengeful woman.

Ye Shuang was taken aback by the question, knowing that she could no longer hide it. She lowered her head and said softly, "Sister, Brother Mo Fan asked me to come out today, but I didn't tell Grandpa the truth. I told him that I was going out to buy reference books."

Ye Xinghe glanced at her sideways, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "I understand, I won't tell anyone." She then added, "Why did Chu Mofan ask you out?"

Ye Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of shyness appearing on her face. "He said he hadn't seen me in a long time and wanted to see me and ask how I've been doing lately."

Although Ye Xinghe was wary of Ye Shuang's previous attempt to bribe Jiang Yan to frame her, Ye Shuang was, after all, her own cousin, so she decided to give Ye Shuang another chance.

If she continues to show no remorse, don't blame her cousin for being ruthless.

If you're willing to jump into a fire pit yourself, don't drag your whole family down with you!

In her previous life, Ye Xinghe lived a carefree life, only going through the motions at family gatherings to maintain normal kinship relationships.

In this life, every time she came to the old house, it was with a purpose. Not only did she have to design her questions carefully, but she also had to meticulously analyze everyone's words and subtle expressions, which left Ye Xinghe feeling physically and mentally exhausted. The deeper she dug into this house, the more unfathomable it seemed.

Ye Xinghe sorted out her thoughts and adjusted her mood. When the three arrived at the Ye family's old house, they saw Old Master Ye pruning flowers and plants in the yard.

"Grandpa, I've come to freeload a meal!" Ye Xinghe ran briskly to her grandfather's side. "Where's Grandma? Did she go to the Buddhist temple again?"

"Yes, your grandma goes almost every day." Grandpa Ye put down his tools and looked at Ye Xinghe kindly. "Your dad called me at noon and said you'd be coming for dinner tonight. You even brought a little guest."

Ye Xinghe introduced, "This is a master I invited from Grandpa Dai, named Qiao Lin."

Grandpa Ye greeted Qiao Lin with a smile and invited him inside to sit down.

Ye Shuang didn't go upstairs. She stayed downstairs talking to Grandpa Ye. She was still worried that Ye Xinghe would tell others about having lunch together.

As a result, Ye Xinghe didn't mention the meal at all throughout the afternoon, and even said a lot of nice things to her grandfather.

After 5 p.m., my family members gradually returned home.

To Ye Xinghe's surprise, her sister-in-law Zheng Juan also came, accompanied by her brother. The two women were arm in arm, looking like a very loving young couple.

Ye Xinghe stood up, walked over slowly, and greeted her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you haven't been away on business recently?"

Zheng Juan smiled gently, "I haven't been going on business trips lately. Your brother and I are planning to have a baby. I've turned down a lot of extra work to help your brother work less overtime." After saying that, she leaned shyly into Ye Xingyu's arms.

Ye Xinghe stared at Ye Xingyu, noticing his extremely unnatural smile. He even pushed away the two arms that were wrapped around his waist and walked alone into the living room.

Slightly embarrassed, Zheng Juan came over and put her arm around Ye Xinghe's shoulder, asking with feigned concern, "Have you been sleeping better lately? Are you still having nightmares?"

Ye Xinghe became wary and tied her hair up as she spoke, "My sleep is much better. It's just that I still have nightmares occasionally, and it's always the same dream."

"And I don't know if it's an allergy, but my neck has been itchy lately. I can't let my hair down for too long."

Seeing Zheng Juan's hypocritical face, Ye Xinghe felt like slapping her across the face. She continued to annoy her, "Sister-in-law and my brother have been getting along very well lately. They even came together today. Did my brother pick you up?"

"Yes." Zheng Juan smiled happily, but in her heart she wished she could pluck all of Ye Xinghe's hair out!

Because Ye Xingyu didn't pick her up at all. It was her mother-in-law, Mu Jinyue, who called to tell her to come to the old house for dinner that evening, and that's how she found out. She left work an hour early and waited for Ye Xingyu downstairs at his workplace before coming over together.

During this time, she tried everything she could, but forget about having a child. Ye Xingyu didn't even want to look at her or say a word to her. If things continued like this, she would have no choice but to resort to other methods.

Ye Mingmei's family didn't come today. Grandpa Ye wanted to inform them, but Ye Xinghe stopped him. Her main purpose today was to test her second uncle, Ye Mingqi, and having too many people would distract her.

During dinner, Grandpa Ye, beaming with health and eyes gleaming, looked at Ye Xinghe and teased her, "Hehe, Grandpa heard you 'scammed' a company?"

Ye Xinghe lowered her eyes and glanced at Grandpa Ye. "Grandpa, you've been going astray lately." Her feet under the table weren't idle either; she stomped hard on Ye Xingchen's foot.

Grandma Ye rolled her eyes at her and took the opportunity to belittle her sarcastically, saying, "A girl like you doesn't act like a proper young lady at all! How dare you talk to your grandfather like that! Didn't your mother discipline you? You have no manners and no upbringing at all."

“Of course my mother taught me that, Grandma.” Ye Xinghe put down her chopsticks, sat gracefully in her chair, and replied with a gentle and soothing smile on her face: “I remember the first lesson my mother taught me was not to casually say that others are ill-mannered.”

Ignoring the feelings of those around him, Grandpa Ye burst into laughter at this remark.

Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Ye's face turned pale and then red, speechless after being rebuked, and she could only glare fiercely at Ye Xinghe.

Ye Xinghe didn't look at her and continued eating as if nothing was wrong. Occasionally, she would put some food she didn't like on her second brother's plate.

Ye Xinghe noticed that Zheng Juan was much more attentive than usual, constantly putting food on Ye Xingyu's plate and even picking out fish bones for him. These actions had been reversed before. However, it was clear that her older brother was sullen and didn't appreciate it.

Ye Xinghe glanced at her second uncle sitting opposite her, and seeing that the time was right, she said, "My college roommate Jiang Yan, her family owns a clothing store in Wanmao City, right? They've been in trouble recently."

Everyone else looked at Ye Xinghe with surprise, but Ye Mingqi was still eating with his head down.

Ye Xinghe continued, "The shop was selling counterfeit goods and got arrested by the police. It's quite a coincidence. The customer who bought her counterfeit goods and the designer were both good friends of mine. I went with them and only found out it was her shop when we got there. I was also there the day Jiang Yan was taken away by the police."

Grandpa Ye said indignantly, "Selling counterfeit goods is against the law! Where are her parents? Why aren't they handling this? Letting a child deal with it, won't that ruin her future!"

Ye Xinghe sighed softly, her tone full of regret, "I heard from Jiang Yan that her mother is often away on business trips, selecting fabrics and keeping an eye on the factories, so she's not always in the store."

"Her father abandoned her and her mother when she was just born."
