After swapping bodies, I became a domineering CEO in a melodramatic novel.

She turned to look at Qin Reng, and the hesitation and worry in her eyes made Qin Reng's heart tighten. He had always thought Yu Yuetong was a fearless woman, but now, he could see an endless sense of oppression in her eyes.

"I'll go with you." Qin Reng's tone was firm, clearly not intending to let her face this possible misfortune alone.

“There’s no need.” Yu Yuetong shook her head, trying to appear more composed. “This is just a family matter; I can handle it.”

Qin Reng frowned slightly, but said nothing more. He knew she might need some space to handle her own affairs at the moment. Although he was very worried, he also understood that Yu Yuetong was not the kind of woman who would easily cause others to worry.

"Okay, remember to take care of yourself." Qin Reng's tone carried a hint of helplessness, but remained gentle.

Yu Yuetong nodded, gave him a deep look, and turned to leave. Although her steps were firm, she was still somewhat uneasy inside.

She entered the old house, only to be greeted by the Qin family's coldness and indifference. Old Master Qin stood in the center of the hall, his expression serious, clearly waiting for her arrival.

"You've arrived." Old Master Qin's voice carried a hint of coldness that was barely perceptible. "You've come at the right time. I have something to discuss with you."

Yu Yuetong's heart sank; she knew this wouldn't be simple. Feigning composure, she stepped forward, raising her head to meet Old Master Qin's gaze. "Grandpa, is there anything I can help you with?"

Old Master Qin was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Your affair with Qin Reng has already attracted the attention of the family." He paused, his eyes sharp, "Shouldn't you give everyone an explanation?"

Yu Yuetong's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly understood the old man's meaning. This wasn't just about her marriage with Qin Reng; it involved a deeper family feud. Although the old man seemed concerned for her on the surface, she knew he had his own agenda.

“Grandpa, I know this matter has caused some trouble for the family.” Yu Yuetong tried to remain calm. “But we are still dealing with some things, and there will be a solution.”

Grandpa Qin didn't respond immediately, but silently watched her, seemingly waiting for her further explanation. However, the cold gaze in his eyes made Yu Yuetong feel as if she were trapped in a giant snare, about to be swallowed up at any moment.

Just then, a sharp voice suddenly came from the doorway: "What are you doing? How long are you going to drag this out?"

Everyone turned to look and saw Ji Momo standing at the door, her face full of provocation and disdain.

"Miss Ji?" Old Master Qin was clearly surprised, and he instinctively frowned. "What are you doing here?"

Ji Momo sneered, walked straight into the hall, and sat down on the sofa without any politeness. "I heard that you two have started playing tricks again. Why don't you settle things once and for all? Otherwise, everyone will think you're a joke."

Yu Yuetong's heart tightened; Ji Momo's appearance was undoubtedly another variable. She knew this woman would never give up easily and was probably here to sow discord again.

Grandpa Qin didn't seem surprised by Ji Momo's attitude. Instead, he gave her a cold glance and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm just here to watch the show." Ji Momo's voice was flippant, but her eyes held a deeper meaning. "After all, this concerns the Qin family's succession issue, and it can't be left unresolved."

"The issue of succession?" Yu Yuetong raised an eyebrow. She suddenly realized that behind this family dispute, the struggle for the Qin family's successor had already begun to brew.

"Don't you understand?" Ji Momo continued provocatively, "This situation isn't something anyone can easily fool. Since neither you nor Qin Reng intend to resolve it properly, let's see who will ultimately control everything."

As soon as the words were spoken, a suffocating tension filled the air. Yu Yuetong's heart raced involuntarily; she knew that this game had begun.

She took a deep breath, looked up at Grandpa Qin and Ji Momo, and secretly decided that no matter what the situation became, she could not easily admit defeat.

“Grandpa, Miss Ji, I will make a decision according to the family’s arrangements,” she said calmly, her tone uncompromising.

Yu Yuetong turned her head slightly, gazing at Old Master Qin before her, a pang of pain shooting through her heart. The old man's face was ashen, his cold gaze making her feel as if she were in a chilling abyss, threatening to drown at any moment. But she could not back down, much less show weakness.

"Grandpa, I will handle our marriage seriously." Yu Yuetong bit her lower lip, forcing herself to remain calm and trying to keep her voice gentle so as not to appear too flustered.

"Handle it?" Old Master Qin sneered, his eyes flashing with disdain. "You still think this kind of thing can be handled so casually? You need to give an explanation, especially in front of the family."

Ji Momo seized the opportunity to interject, her voice laced with provocation, "I'm here precisely to say that this marriage isn't something that can be rushed. In the end, no one wants your private affairs to become a public scandal." She casually leaned back on the sofa, her arrogant demeanor causing the temperature in the entire hall to drop several degrees.

Yu Yuetong's heart skipped a beat. She knew Ji Momo would never let an opportunity to tease her slip by. Right now, she was caught in the vortex of a family power struggle, every move she made affecting the interests behind it all. Thinking of this, she silently warned herself not to be provoked or angered.

“Miss Ji, there’s no need for you to add fuel to the fire.” Yu Yuetong suppressed her anger and tried to maintain her composure, exuding a faint confidence. “The matter between Qin Reng and me is something we should handle. It has nothing to do with you.”

"Ha! Do you really think you can handle this cold-blooded young master?" Ji Momo's tone changed, clearly mocking. "Don't forget, you're an abandoned heiress. It's uncertain how long you'll stay in the Qin family!"

The atmosphere inside grew increasingly tense, and the confident mask cracked slightly. Yu Yuetong's heart tightened, but she had no intention of backing down. She understood that in this world of the powerful, silence meant acceptance. Therefore, she met Ji Momo's gaze directly, smiled slightly, and concealed her inner anxiety.

“At least, I am much luckier than you, the illegitimate daughter of the Ji family.” Yu Yuetong looked directly at Ji Momo, her tone firm. “I have family and the support of my clan, while you are just a pawn of the Ji family.”

These words struck Ji Momo like a hammer blow. Her expression froze for a moment, then surged with anger. Almost ignoring Yu Yuetong's composure, she curled her lips into a mocking smile, "Oh, so you're suffering in silence. Only Qin Reng has the old lady's support. Your glory is just a fleeting moment."
