Ye Yun wasn’t trying to compete with her older sister over anything. She just wanted the freedom and power she deserved. She couldn’t possibly ruin herself and achieve nothing her whole life just because of so inexplicable jealousy from her older sister, could she?
And besides, Mom truly loved Dad. Didn’t Dad fall in love with Mom before he passed away in their previous lives? In this life, she just wanted them to realize their feelings earlier, so they wouldn’t regret it like they did in the past life.
Ye Qiu noticed that her dad and Aunt i had grown much closer recently. Both of their faces were glowing with happiness. Sotis Aunt i was even too shy to look Dad in the eye, but Dad seed calm and confident.
Ye Qiu was pleased to see this happen. Aunt i was a good person and genuinely cared for her dad. Dad had a difficult childhood and worked too hard in his youth, leaving him with health issues even though he wasn’t yet sixty. Having soone to sincerely love and care for him, allowing him to peacefully enjoy the rest of his life, truly made her happy.
Ye Yun was even happier than her. It seed her words had a strong effect, as Dad had started to care about her life and grades, even increasing her living allowance.
She thought that if her older sister ever tried to hurt her again, she wouldn’t be without support.
She only regretted that she was too young to invest this money. She wanted Mom to help, but Mom refused. For now, she could only suppress her impulses and study according to her plan step by step.
However, naturally, this widened the distance between her and her little niece, Ye Shu. She felt a little regret but quickly moved on. After all, they had different paths to take, and she couldn’t waste any more ti.
Ten years flew by. During these ten years, Ye Qiu didn’t use her foresight to rapidly expand the company but chose to develop it steadily, just like in her previous life. She spent the rest of her ti learning from the Body Building Book, and not only herself but also taught it to her daughter, Ye Shu.
This allowed her to have ti to bond with her daughter, making their relationship much closer in this life than it was in the previous one.
Under Ye Qiu’s guidance, Ye Shu’s personality was different from how it was in the previous life, where she used to follow arrangents indifferently. Instead, she idolized Ye Qiu, vowing to beco an independent, intelligent, and powerful woman like her mom.
Because of this, she worked even harder to learn all kinds of knowledge, and there was no chance for her to develop feelings with that male protagonist, Zhang Beichen. Sotis, when Zhang Beichen asked her out, she would find it quite botherso.
"Mom, does the Zhang Group really allow its heir to act this way? Does he not have any classes?" Ye Shu said, frowning slightly, after hanging up the phone.
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, just starting to blossom. Ye Shu was already showcasing the grace of a campus goddess. She inherited Ye Qiu’s tall stature and delicate features, making even her frowns overly attractive.
Ye Qiu chuckled lightly. With her daughter’s looks, it wasn’t surprising that Zhang Beichen was infatuated. It’s the age when first loves and budding emotions happen.
Though the male protagonist was excellent, she didn’t approve of her daughter being with him. The thought of Zhang Beichen being involved with both Ye Yun and Ye Shu in their previous lives made her uncomfortable.
Moreover, in their past life, he wasn’t so keen on her daughter. Perhaps it’s just a man’s rebellious nature; the more he’s denied, the more interested he becos.
It seed it was this way in their past life too. After being disappointed in Ye Shu, he gradually beca attracted to Ye Yun. Being rejected repeatedly by Ye Yun only made him more patient and persistent, until he finally won the beauty’s heart.
No matter how excellent this male protagonist was, when it involved her daughter, Ye Qiu felt uneasy.
And besides, there wasn’t just this one good man in the world. As long as her daughter broadened her horizons, what kind of man couldn’t she find? And even if she ended up single her whole life, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
Ye Qiu wasn’t like other parents who pressured for marriage. Since her ex-husband passed away, she had been single and didn’t find anything wrong with it.
As for physical needs, with money, why worry about finding a handso and fit young man? She wasn’t stubborn.
In short, as long as her daughter didn’t like Zhang Beichen and didn’t plan to marry soone with poor character, she had no objections.
Though ten years had gone by, she still had no clues about the mastermind behind harming her and her daughter. There were only three years left until the ti her body was hard in the previous life. Who was the most likely suspect?
"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Ye Shu asked curiously when her mom didn’t answer her for a while.
"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking that you’re still young, and focusing on studies is most important right now. But if you actually like that Zhang Beichen, Mom won’t oppose it. Just don’t do anything inappropriate for your age," Ye Qiu said, understanding that teenagers often rebel. Prohibiting them might only increase their interest, so instead, she should be more open-minded. Even if they got together, she had ways to make her daughter break up.
"Who likes him?" Indeed, Ye Shu responded with annoyance. "We’re still so young; what’s the point of dating? Isn’t studying more enjoyable? Mom, don’t matchmake like Grandpa. I have no feelings for Zhang Beichen."
"Alright, Mom won’t force you. If you love studying, Mom couldn’t be happier. My Xiao Shu is so excellent; you’ll definitely et soone better in the future. Maybe you’ll even bring ho a foreign son-in-law and have adorable foreign grandchildren," Ye Qiu joked.
Ye Shu’s face turned red, and she looked a bit troubled. She didn’t want to get married and live separately from her mom.
Little did both of them know, Ye Qiu’s joke would eventually co true.
"By the way, your aunt’s eighteenth birthday is next month. Have you thought about what to get her?" Ye Qiu suddenly rembered and asked.
Perhaps it was due to the change in how she educated her daughter, but her younger sister, Ye Yun, wasn’t as close to Ye Shu in this life. Instead, she also worked hard, attending school abroad throughout high school.
However, as Dad got older, he increasingly missed his youngest daughter. He heard that once Ye Yun returned ho for her eighteenth birthday, she wouldn’t leave and would attend college dostically.
Ye Qiu didn’t mind this at all. Even though Dad was growing closer to Aunt i and her little sister and had little interaction with her outside work matters, Ye Qiu didn’t feel jealous. At forty years old, she wasn’t in need of a father’s love. Nor did she worry about Dad changing his mind. After managing the company for so many years, it was firmly in her hands. Even if he were to leave his private savings entirely to Aunt i and her little sister, she wouldn’t care.
She hoped for harmonious family relations, which is why she placed great importance on the gift for Ye Yun. After all, they were sisters with the sa father. She was willing to give face to her little sister in front of others.
