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

Even after hearing that the insect was fake, Ye Xingchen showed no intention of getting down. "You used it to scare Xing Fei away?"

"Not entirely." Ye Xinghe calmly straightened the coffee table, then took out another box and placed it on the table. "To be precise, there are five of them."

Ye Xingchen was so terrified by the sight of these cockroaches that he almost fainted. For a moment, he felt his soul leave his body. He covered his eyes with one hand and waved the other haphazardly, shouting, "Take them away! Take them away!"

Ye Xinghe put Xiaoqiang back into the box and said slowly, "Second brother, you'd better treat me well in the future. If I ever make you unhappy, these five little cuties might end up in your bed."

Ye Xingchen shouted, "How dare you! Ye Xinghe! You've gone too far! I'll break your legs!"

Ye Xinghe pulled out another cockroach and shoved it close to Ye Xingchen's face. "What did you just say? I didn't hear you. Say it again."

Ye Xingchen kept his eyes tightly shut and begged for mercy repeatedly.

He was genuinely afraid of these things, even if they were fake. Back in college, he and his dormmates played a popular tower defense mobile game. Unexpectedly, there were monsters in it that resembled the "Three Great Nemesis" (a reference to a popular Chinese mythological figure), which terrified him so much that he threw his phone away and never dared to play it again.

Ye Xinghe stopped teasing him and put everything away. "Second Brother, I have something serious to ask you. Do people frequently dislocate their wrists?"

"Of course. Children are more prone to dislocations because their bones and joints are not yet strong enough. Some adults can also develop habitual dislocations due to sports injuries if not properly cared for." Ye Xingchen became quite talkative when it came to professional knowledge. "What's wrong? Does anyone frequently dislocate their joints? Beg me, and Dr. Ye can treat them for free. I guarantee a cure."

Ye Xinghe glanced at him sideways and slowly said two words, "Xing Fei".

Ye Xingchen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then got up to leave, but Ye Xinghe pressed him back onto the sofa.

"Second brother, don't you find it strange? When we were little, Xing Fei never dislocated her wrist. But the other day when I accompanied her to the hospital, the doctor said that her wrist often dislocates."

Ye Xingchen didn't take it seriously. "What's so strange about that? Anything can happen to someone in that mental state."

Ye Xinghe continued, "Yes. Her personality has changed a lot too."

"She hasn't changed, she's just starting to reveal her true nature." Ye Xingchen didn't want to talk about Xing Fei anymore, so he turned and left.

“However, you and she are quite similar in one way,” Ye Xinghe added from behind him, “you’re both afraid of bugs.”

Ye Xingchen turned around and gave Ye Xinghe a sharp rap on the forehead. "Get lost!"

The next day at breakfast, Mu Jinyue informed her family that Xing Fei and her daughter would be coming to their house for dinner on Saturday, and gave a strict order that everyone must attend, no one could be absent.

Two days later, it will be Saturday.

Early in the morning, Ye Xinghe and Ye Xingchen had breakfast and then lazily sprawled on the sofa, while Ye Xingyu quietly handled official business on the side.

"Go back to your rooms and tidy up!" Mu Jinyue patted each of them on the back. "The guests are coming soon, what kind of appearance do you two look like, all disheveled!"

"Mom! Let me be at home on Saturday, Aunt Chen isn't an outsider." Ye Xingchen remained motionless, continuing to play on his phone.

"Mom, I'm naturally beautiful, I don't need to do anything." Ye Xinghe looked at her mother with a smile, remaining completely still.

"Are you two trying to drive me crazy?!" Mu Jinyue slapped the two siblings a few more times. "You have half an hour to get yourself together and stand properly. I'm going to check! Otherwise..."

“No, not at all.” Ye Xingchen quickly interrupted, knowing that his mother was about to say “family discipline”. “I’ll go upstairs and clean it up right away.”

Ye Xinghe obediently followed her second brother upstairs.

In less than twenty minutes, the two of them, dressed neatly, stood on the first floor, waiting for Mu Jinyue to inspect them.

"Not bad." Mu Jinyue nodded in satisfaction. "Your Aunt Chen hasn't been seen for many years. Don't be disrespectful when you talk to her. And you, Ye Xingchen, be more enthusiastic towards Xing Fei. Didn't you two play together a lot when you were kids?"

Ye Xingchen quickly refused, "Mom, let me tell you beforehand, I can agree to the first part, but not the second part. I can't be enthusiastic about it at all."

Ye Xingchen's tone was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

Mu Jinyue didn't understand why Ye Xingchen was acting this way, so she turned her gaze to Ye Xinghe, trying to find some answers.

Ye Xinghe shrugged, indicating that he was unaware of the matter.

Mu Jinyue had no choice but to compromise, and then instructed the two of them, "Okay. Even if you're not enthusiastic, you can't be too cold. Watch your mouths and don't keep arguing with them."

Ye Xingchen sat on the sofa and said lazily, "This is putting me in a difficult position. If I don't talk to her, you'll say I'm cold. But as soon as I talk to her, I can't help but want to argue with her."

"I think you deserve a beating today!" Mu Jinyue raised her hand to strike. Just then, Uncle Fu announced that Chen Shihui and her daughter had arrived.

Mu Jinyue had no choice but to give up, whispered a few warnings, and then walked to the door to greet the two.

Xing Fei's facial injuries had healed somewhat, and she had applied light makeup. Today, she was dressed elegantly in a pure white long dress made of light chiffon. As the breeze blew, the hem and sleeves swayed, making her look ethereal and graceful.

Ye Xinghe also came over, smiling sweetly, and spoke in a polite and official tone, "Aunt Chen, Sister Xing Fei, good morning, welcome to my home."

Chen Shihui was taken aback by Ye Xinghe's words. "Xinghe is being so polite to Aunt Chen! It seems Aunt Chen will be coming more often in the future."

Ye Xinghe smiled gently, "Aunt Chen, there's no need to come so often."

“I can come to your house. Otherwise, it’s too much of a hassle for you to come all this way with so many things.”

As soon as Ye Xinghe uttered the first half of her sentence, Mu Jinyue broke out in a cold sweat. She put her hand on Ye Xinghe's back and pinched her hard.

The group chatted and laughed as they entered the living room.

Ye Xingchen greeted Chen Shihui and was about to go upstairs when Mu Jinyue grabbed him and pulled him back to the living room.

Xing Fei, unlike her previous manic behavior, sat down two seats away from Ye Xingchen without greeting him.

Ye Xingchen was hoping that everyone would stop talking to him so he could get through the day quickly and be done with it.

Chen Shihui spoke first, "Stardust, is the hospital busy lately?"

Ye Xingchen put down his phone and said calmly, "I'm quite busy. I have to go to work overtime later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Jinyue glared at him fiercely. Then he added, "But Aunt Chen rarely comes, so I'll ask for leave in a bit."
