However, the world was funny that way—whatever one was most afraid of, that one thing would happen!
 

When Old Master Ye had the paternity test done, he went to great lengths and managed to find Old Madam Ye’s hair amongst her belongings… to do another DNA test.
 

Regardless of whether it was Ye Ziqi’s family, who felt uneasy, or the others in the Ye house, who were watching the fun, nearly all of them stayed awake until dawn.
 

Early in the morning, nearly everyone had gotten up early to wait for the results. When the results of the paternity test were finally out, it sure didn’t let down the crowd that was waiting to see a good show…
 

Ye Ziqi’s father was Old Madam Ye’s son; there was no mistake about it. However, he wasn’t Old Master Ye’s son!


 1

Even though Old Master Ye was somewhat prepared for this, he still nearly suffered a heart attack from the revelation. With his hand to his chest, he ordered the servants to throw all of Ye Ziqi’s father’s belongings out of the Ye house!
 

Ye Ziqi’s father panicked upon hearing this!
 

He had grown up in the Ye house since he was young, and he was the only child in the Ye family. Even though he was aware that his father wasn’t particularly fond of him, he was the sole successor of the Ye family outside. At home, he was the Ye family’s only Young Master, so he had lived like a king all his life!
Even though he was already middle-aged and his children had married and even had kids of their own, he was still his same old dilly-dallying self… He felt that with the Ye family’s immense wealth, even if he didn’t work hard, he wouldn’t lack money in this lifetime!
 

Ye Ziqi’s father excelled at all the vices and merry-making, but when it came to working seriously at the company, he either complained of a headache, heart pain, or that he wasn’t feeling well!
 

Although Old Master Ye expected better from his son, what was he to do? After all, it was his own son…
 

But who knew that his life would take such a dramatic change for the worse all of a sudden. His only son was suddenly revealed not to be his son. Instead, he was a love child that his wife had with god knows who. How could he take it?
 

Old Master Ye wasn’t the only one who couldn’t take this sudden shock, though, there was also Ye Ziqi’s father. He frantically blabbered before Old Master Ye,
Dad! I have called you Dad for more than fifty years! Even if I’m not your biological son, I’m considered your adopted son! No matter how much you dislike me, you can’t drive me out of the Ye house! Who’s going to send you off at your funeral after I leave!

 

Upon hearing this, Old Master Ye very nearly passed out from anger and ascended directly to heaven. He ordered the housekeeper loudly… saying that, apart from the clothes that belonged to Ye Ziqi’s father’s family, Ye Ziqi and her family weren’t to take a single cent from the Ye house. He also instructed his personal assistant to fetch his daughter and her family.
 

Old Master Ye’s daughter had met her current husband early on, and she gave birth to a daughter after they got married. After her husband passed away in an accident, Old Master Ye’s daughter opened a restaurant, and business was brisk. Although his daughter couldn’t see, she inherited her talent for cooking from her mother, so the restaurant’s business was prospering. This was the reason Old Master Ye didn’t have plans to fetch his daughter back to stay with him.


 

However, things were different now. Now that he found out that the one in his house was an imposter, if he still didn’t fetch his daughter back, it would be no different from the Ye family no longer having any descendants. Armed with a legitimate reason, Old Master Ye acted swiftly and sent for his daughter immediately.
 

Ye Ziqi’s mother was still abroad. After receiving news of this, she had immediately called Ye Ziqi and got her to hurry back to the Ye family mansion.
 

When Ye Ziqi received the call and rushed back, she saw her father and two kids standing helplessly in the yard of the Ye house. Their clothes were packed up in various pieces of luggage, and the servants were shifting them out one by one.
 


Mama!
Fu Xinxin ran into Ye Ziqi’s arms the minute she saw Ye Ziqi get out of the car.
Great-grandpa wants to drive us away!
She released a few sobs before saying,
Mama, I want Papa! Shall we go back to the hotel?

 

Fu Mingming had come running over too. He hugged Ye Ziqi’s leg and kept crying.
Mama! I don’t like Great-grandpa! I hate Great-grandpa! Mingming already said he’s cold, but Great-grandpa still chased us out and refused to let us back in! I never want to speak with Great-grandpa again!

 

The housekeeper stood on the stairs, and as he listened to Fu Mingming speak, he narrowed his eyes.
 

These two kids behaved alright before Old Master Ye, but behind his back, they acted arrogantly before the servants. It had only been a few days, but the housekeeper of the Ye family had heard plenty of stories about how they intentionally scalded the servants and beat them. However, even though he was the housekeeper, he was still but a servant in the Ye family, so it wasn’t his place to speak.
 

Now that these two kids’ grandfather was proven to be a bstard, they were no longer considered his masters, so the housekeeper no longer needed to speak politely with them.
 

The housekeeper looked over at Ye Ziqi fiercely.
Mrs. Fu, you’d better keep your kids in line and stop them from spouting nonsense. This is the Ye house, not the Fu house. It’s not a place where they can act brazenly!

 


You!
There was accumulated anger in Ye Ziqi’s heart. Watching as the servants moved her father’s items out of the house bag by bag, she frantically said,
Dad! Look after the kids! I’m going to see Grandpa!



 

Ye Ziqi bent down and pulled the kids over to her father. Ye Ziqi’s father was already in a completely dazed state. He was rooted to the ground and not moving an inch.
 

Seeing this situation, Ye Ziqi thrust her two kids into her father’s arms, then ran up the stairs into the mansion.
 

Seeing Ye Ziqi attempt to run into the house, the housekeeper extended a hand to stop her.
Mrs. Fu…

 


Who are you to stop me? Move away! I want to see my grandfather!
Ye Ziqi scolded the housekeeper.
 

Ye Ziqi was no longer the treasured missy of the Ye family, so why should the housekeeper fear her?
 

The housekeeper sneered.
You speak humorously, Mrs. Fu. Old Master is no longer your grandfather now. He’s in poor health and has said that he doesn’t wish to see you. As the housekeeper of the Ye family, I have the duty and obligation to block off anyone whom Old Master doesn’t wish to see.

 

Ye Ziqi nearly broke her teeth by gnashing them too hard.
 

The housekeeper continued,
Mrs. Fu, I’d advise you to stop making a scene. Old Master gets vexed at the mere sight of your family, so I’m sure he’s not going to say anything pleasant. What’s the use of you making a scene? It’s not like you can change the fact that you’re not biologically related… just by making a scene here!

 

After tolerating everything for so many years, the housekeeper was finally able to speak with his head raised. He felt pretty dmn good.
 


Are you moving away or not! You’re just a pathetic housekeeper, yet you dare try to stop me?
The infuriated Ye Ziqi started arguing with the housekeeper too.


 


Apologies, Mrs. Fu, by Old Master’s orders, I really dare not let you in!
the housekeeper said at a relaxed pace.
 

Seeing how the housekeeper was bent on not letting her in, Ye Ziqi shouted at the top of her lungs,
Grandpa! I’m Ziqi! Grandpa…

 


Mrs. Fu!
The housekeeper’s expression darkened.
If you continue shouting like this, I’m going to have to get the servants to escort you out!

 


Ziqi!
Seeing that Ye Ziqi had gotten into an argument with the housekeeper, Ye Ziqi’s father hurried up the steps and said nicely, with Ye Ziqi’s two kids running after him,
Don’t quarrel with the housekeeper! Housekeeper… can you see if you can help me get my newly-bought snuff bottle from my desk?

 


Dad!
Ye Ziqi was nearly driven to her grave by her useless father.
Look at the situation we’re in now. All you can think of is your snuff bottle?

 

Ye Ziqi’s father defended himself, saying,
I spent a lot of money on that snuff bottle!

 


Sorry, Old Master has instructed that… apart from clothes, you aren’t to take away anything else from the Ye house!

 


But I bought that snuff bottle myself!
Ye Ziqi’s father appeared anxious.
 

The servants moving the various pieces of luggage by the side whispered in small voices when they heard this…
 


The cheek of him to claim this. That snuff bottle was bought with the Ye family’s money. He has never made a single cent for the Ye family, causing the company to suffer considerable losses instead. Yet he has the cheek to claim he bought it himself…



 


Exactly! So shameless!

 


Stop making things difficult for us servants!
The housekeeper was still rather courteous with Ye Ziqi’s father.
 


Housekeeper Liu, Old Master sent me down to ask why things haven’t been settled down here. Why is it so noisy downstairs?
Old Master Ye’s special assistant pushed up the spectacles on his nose, his voice low and indifferent.
Quickly take care of things here. Big Missy will be back shortly!

 

All of the hair on Ye Ziqi’s body stood on end when she heard this.
 

That blind illegitimate daughter of Old Master Ye from outside?
 

Back when Ye Ziqi was still in the country, she had often gone to seek trouble with that illegitimate daughter at her restaurant. That blind illegitimate daughter was still fine, but that daughter of hers was truly fierce even though she was rather young. At the recollection of that, Ye Ziqi could feel her scalp turning numb.

Special Assistant Jian! Please tell my grandfather that my father was framed! He was framed by Fu Huai’an! It’s because my son and his son got into a conflict at the Fu family mansion. Fu Huai’an is doing this to take revenge against me. That’s why he plotted against my father! Special Assistant Jian, please let me see my grandfather. I will definitely explain things to him!
Ye Ziqi agitatedly said when she saw Special Assistant Jian come downstairs.
 

Special Assistant Jian pursed his lips tightly, looking like someone who wasn’t easy to talk to, which was his usual self.
Apologies, Mrs. Fu, but Old Master doesn’t wish to see you and your father now!

 


Special Assistant Jian! Special Assistant Jian!
Ye Ziqi’s father grabbed Special Assistant Jian’s arm.
How about this? You go up and tell my father to let me bring away my newly-bought snuff bottle!

 


Apologies, but Old Master has said that, apart from clothes and toiletries, you aren’t to take away anything else.

 

Just then, Ye Ziqi heard the sound of car tires screeching to a halt.
 

She turned around to see a limousine stop at the stairs of the mansion.
 

Special Assistant Jian went out quickly, personally walking to the car and opening the car door. He then respectfully said to the person inside the car,
Big Missy, welcome home!

 

Ye Ziqi felt all the hair on her body stand up.
 

She watched as the door on the other side of the car opened, and a young lady wearing a school uniform and sporting a ponytail came out. Her fair and tender little face appeared clean and pretty, while her entire being brimmed with the vitality of youth. Her clean and clear eyes sized the Ye family mansion up with delight, but she didn’t forget to quickly go around the back of the car to help support her mother.
 

When this young lady was still in junior high, Ye Ziqi had gone to their restaurant to make a scene. In the end, this young lady came out of the back kitchen with a large knife and tried to hack Ye Ziqi. Ye Ziqi had a scar on her arm, courtesy of that incident. If Ye Ziqi hadn’t dodged in time, the consequences would’ve been dire.
 

And because of this incident, Ye Ziqi subconsciously feared this young lady who was a lot younger than her.
 

The young lady’s mother was dressed simply and appeared to be in her forties.
 


Mom! We’ve reached Grandpa’s place!
The young lady’s voice was crisp and clear, sounding especially pleasant to the ears.
 

The slim, middle-aged woman smiled and nodded.
 


Old Master has been awaiting your arrival upstairs for a long time. I shall bring Big Missy and Little Missy up now!
Special Assistant Jian said.
 


Sorry to trouble you!
The middle-aged woman appeared gracious and well-mannered.

Big Missy, you’re being too formal!
Special Assistant Jian hurriedly replied.
 

Ye Ziqi watched as Special Assistant Jian and the young lady supported that blind woman up the stairs, a
weng
sound going off in her brain.
 


Mom, be careful of the steps!
the young lady said. Upon looking up and seeing Ye Ziqi, the young lady sneered out loud.
 

In the past, Ye Ziqi had trampled upon them and called the young lady’s mother all sorts of awful names, such as bstard and cheap slut. Now, the fortunes had reversed, and the word bstard was now truly appropriate when used on Ye Ziqi’s father. What a joke.
 

The young lady gazed at Ye Ziqi with a meaningful look, making Ye Ziqi furious!
 

Even Housekeeper Liu had descended the stairs to welcome them.
Big Missy, Little Missy!

 


Special Assistant Jian!
Ye Ziqi also walked down the stairs and looked at Special Assistant Jian. It was rare to see her lower her stance like this.
Please! Help me tell Grandpa that it really is Fu Huai’an who framed my father! You get Grandpa to check on this! I really… beg of you!

 


Special Assistant Jian remained cold.
Apologies, Mrs. Fu. It’s time for you to leave…

 

Special Assistant Jian rejected her completely. Ye Ziqi flared up and said,
Special Assistant Jian, for you to be treating me this way, aren’t you afraid that one day, when the truth is out, and my father is found to still be the successor of Ye Corporation, you will suffer the consequences?

 

Special Assistant Jian’s cold eyes looked towards Ye Ziqi from behind his spectacles, his voice equally chilly.
I’m Old Master’s special assistant, and I only listen to Old Master’s orders. If there really is such a day, Old Master will make sure that I’m taken care of. I shan’t trouble Mrs. Fu to worry about this!

 

Special Assistant Jian then made a respectful motion for the young lady and her mother to enter the house…
The corners of the young lady’s lips turned up as she gazed at Ye Ziqi, returning the words she used to insult her mother with.
Tsk… cheap slut, bstard! Aren’t you just shamelessly sticking to the Ye family because of their immense wealth? You really have no dignity at all!

 

She returned Ye Ziqi her own words precisely, not missing a single word!
 

These words were like fine needles that pricked at Ye Ziqi’s ear, causing her pain and making her heart tremble.

If you have the guts, repeat it! See if I will tear your mouth!
Ye Ziqi then wanted to get physical with the young lady.
 

Special Assistant Jian grabbed Ye Ziqi’s raised hand as she was about to slap across the young lady’s face.
Mrs. Fu, please respect yourself!

 



Be lenient wherever it’s possible. Why be calculative with others?
the young lady’s mother said in a gentle voice.
 

The young lady looked like she refused to admit defeat.
We need to look at who we’re dealing with when deciding if we should be lenient! People like her who have filthy mouths and insult other people by calling them names like cheap slut and bstard, why should I be polite to someone like her? You’re not calculative with her for wrecking our restaurant, for injuring you and causing you to be hospitalized, but I remember! I’m a petty person who bears grudges! In the future, I’ll repeat this every time I see her!
