"Mom, do you have any good suggestions? Ever since Aunt i went abroad, my contact with her has lessened, and I’m not sure what she likes nowadays." Ye Shu was troubled and a bit lost. She used to play with Aunt i every day when they were little, but now they didn’t even share a common language.
"In that case, I will give her a house. You can give her a car or so jewelry—anything should be fine," remarked Ye Qiu after a brief thought. Only by giving such gifts could she show her importance and not be looked down upon by outsiders. Plus, these are practical; turning eighteen ans wanting to live independently, learn to drive, or attend parties—all necessities.
"I don’t have much pocket money on hand to buy a good car. Why not take the pink diamond grandpa gave last ti and have it processed into a necklace? Mom, do you think that’s a good idea?" Ye Shu blinked her bright eyes and asked.
"Good, as long as you’re willing," Ye Qiu knew how much her daughter loved jewelry. Otherwise, her dad—an old man—wouldn’t always rember to buy it whenever he saw sothing nice. If her daughter was willing to give it away, it showed her desires weren’t overwhelming and she knew what mattered.
"Of course, I’m willing, it’s Aunt i after all. Besides, Mom will definitely give better ones in the future." Ye Shu said playfully.
"You’re so young yet already love beauty so much, you might as well marry a jeweler in the future," Ye Qiu teased.
What she didn’t know was that her daughter didn’t marry a jeweler but a mber of the Royal Family who inherited many ancestral jewelry, often jokingly saying if not for those pieces, he couldn’t have won over Ye Shu.
But that was just a joke, enough to prove how much Ye Shu loved jewelry. If she was willing to give away that rare pink diamond, it also proved how important Aunt i was in her heart.
Ye Yun got off the plane and looked at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling elated—she finally returned. She was about to turn eighteen, ready to make her dreams co true.
"Second Miss, the master and madam have been longing to see you, they’re already waiting at ho," the driver said solicitously, helping with her luggage.
Ye Yun laughed inwardly. Was she ever treated like this in her past life? In this family, she had always been the ignored one.
Sure enough, after Mom revealed her heart and Dad’s attitude towards Mom changed, her status at ho shifted too, proving her decisions were indeed correct.
Although she never intended to compete with her elder sister, she couldn’t allow the title of Ye Family’s second daughter to be casually disrespected.
Just wait, this is only the beginning. She will slowly make those people re-evaluate her; with funding and Ye Family connections, she will carve out her own sky!
"Dad, Mom, I’m back," she stood at the entrance, wearing a green dress, poised like a budding willow in early spring, strikingly spirited.
Ye Qiu nodded at this younger sister, inwardly exclaiming she indeed had the qualities of a heroine—her beauty and poise were exceptional; no wonder Zhang Beichen was so devoted.
"It’s good that you’re back. This child, you left for so many years, you’re not allowed to leave again," i Chunli quickly welcod her daughter, looking her up and down, relieved to see she was fine.
"Alright, I’ll listen to you and won’t leave, I’ll stay at ho with you and Dad," she laughed naturally and playfully with Ye Changfeng.
Ye Changfeng also looked at her dotingly. After all, she was his youngest daughter, just eighteen and needing care. As he aged, he wasn’t as strict with her as he was with her elder sister. He only wished for her happiness.
Besides, the elder daughter had grown up; she wouldn’t be as affectionate with him now, so he pampered Ye Yun more. The group was given to the elder daughter; apart from so money and property, he couldn’t give much to her. Compared to what the elder daughter inherited, it was like a drop in the ocean.
"Don’t listen to your mom. It’s good for girls to see the world, and while the outside is nice, it can’t compare to ho. Returning is best," Ye Changfeng sat in a wheelchair, extending a hand to touch his youngest daughter’s head.
Ye Yun imdiately looked at him with concern, asking, "Dad, are the doctors still unable to cure this?"
"It’s fine," Ye Changfeng smiled. "It’s an old problem, don’t worry. Your mom takes great care of ."
"My mom is a professional, doesn’t she take great care?" Ye Yun laughed again, "I brought back the most advanced massage instrunt from abroad for you, but it’s not here yet, not sure how effective it is."
"Whether it’s good or not, your thoughtfulness makes happy," Ye Changfeng smiled more benevolently.
"Mom, I also brought along gifts for you, elder sister, and Xiao Shu. Just unclear if you’ll like them," she looked at Ye Qiu, a bit apprehensive, as if afraid of upsetting her.
Ye Qiu understood she had a high status and maintained authority for years. Such worries from her younger sister were normal; even Aunt i, despite knowing her for so long, remained cautiously small-minded around her. So, she wasn’t suspicious.
"How could we not like what you bought? Everything you’ve sent us was both beautiful and practical. In Dad’s eyes, this elder daughter is long forgotten; you’re the jewel of our ho," Ye Qiu smiled.
Though unintended, her words resounded with significance for Ye Yun—a pang of concern arose. Could it be that Dad’s increased warmth with her over the years finally sparked apprehension in her elder sister?
She felt sowhat aggrieved and indignant. Was there really necessary deterrence from her side? She wasn’t ambitious; couldn’t she even enjoy parental favor?
But it didn’t matter, she would eventually prove her abilities, paving her way to success, showing disinterest in the group.
"As long as the elder sister and Xiao Shu like it, they’re not expensive, but I carefully chose them," she smiled cordially.
Ye Qiu recognized the sudden distance from her younger sister but paid little heed. It had been years without seeing her, and during those tis, her sister did visit ho, yet she was either travelling or on a business trip. Now, feeling a bit distant was normal.
"Your intentions are clear to us as family. Go shower and co down for dinner, let’s chat about your eighteenth birthday celebration," Ye Qiu patted her shoulder.
Ye Yun frowned, "No need for a grand event, just a family al is enough."
Ye Qiu chuckled, "Then you should ask Dad first."
Ye Changfeng swiftly looked at his youngest daughter, Ye Yun, "For your coming-of-age ceremony, we couldn’t ignore it. Relatives and friends must attend, primarily about venue décor and organization style, you have to decide."
Ye Yun didn’t refuse this ti, beaming with narrowed eyes, "Thank you, Dad!"
