Ye Family Hall, Ye's parents had already returned.
When they saw Ye's parents holding a stack of photos of Fu Jiachen with other women, the Fu family members were all mumbling, unable to speak.
Now that Ye Ke was so outstanding, it was truly impossible for the Fu family to give up such an excellent head matriarch. So, when Ye's parents returned, they specially brought Fu Jiachen to Ye Family to apologize to Ye Ke.
However, the Ye Family's attitude was very tough.
It was at this time that Ye Shaohua came down from upstairs.
Seeing her, Lady Ye's eyes lit up, and then she beckoned to Ye Shaohua warmly, "Shaohua, come here," and then said to the Fu family, "Ake is already disappointed in Jiachen, but we, as parents, indeed cannot break off the arranged marriage. We discussed it, and we can let Shaohua replace Ake, so the friendship between our two families can continue to endure."
Upon hearing Lady Ye's words, Fu Jiachen was the first to frown.
With Ye Ke being so talented now, even the geniuses in the laboratory were obedient to her. How could Fu Jiachen easily let go of such an outstanding person?
Therefore, upon hearing Lady Ye's words, he was the first to refuse.
The other members of the Fu family also disagreed, and Mrs. Fu directly said, "Our Fu family only has Jiachen as the heir. In the future, Jiachen will inherit the Fu family, and his wife will be the head matriarch of the Fu family. She not only has to handle all sorts of affairs for the Fu family but also has to attend various banquets. Lady Ye, tell me, is Ye Shaohua suitable?"
The Fu family said this in front of Ye Shaohua without giving her any face.
"It can be learned..."
"Learn?" Ye's father had not finished speaking when he was interrupted by Mrs. Fu, "I'm just asking you one thing, will there be a share for her in the Ye Family in the future? What's that, no answer? My son is at least the heir to the Fu family. How can he marry such a person and become a laughingstock?"
Upon hearing Mrs. Fu's words, Fu Jiachen glanced at Ye Shaohua, who stood aside. There was some hesitation in his eyes as he remembered her typing code a few days ago, and his gaze paused slightly.
"Old Fu, you all need to stop going too far, Shaohua is still here!" finally, Ye's father spoke up for Ye Shaohua.
Mrs. Fu's words were indeed meant for Ye Shaohua to hear. After hearing Ye's father's words, she gave a slight laugh, "Shaohua, don't take it to heart, but what I said is also the truth. You are aware that you've been in Y County for over a decade, and although I don't want to say it, our Jiachen is also one of the top figures in Ning City. The gap between you two isn't small..."
As Mrs. Fu spoke, her gaze became focused, "Ake is the perfect matriarch we had in mind for the Fu family. As for you, don't entertain any delusions, pipe dreams, impossible. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Alright," Ye Shaohua dug at her ear; in her past life, there was probably a similar incident, only that the original host was unaware.
Ye Shaohua didn't want to know how her parents had managed to convince the Fu family; she shrugged her backpack to her back, "I don't want to be involved in your affairs. Mr. Ye, the moment you decided to switch me with Ye Ke today, you have forever lost a daughter."
"And as for Mrs. Fu," Ye Shaohua patted her lapel nonchalantly, "Thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west, Mrs. Fu, do not despise the poor in their youth. Who knows, maybe one day my programming skills will surpass Ye Ke's?"
After saying that, she left Ye Family before everyone had time to react.
It took several minutes for the people in the hall to recover from the indescribable aura.
Ye's father was the first to react, slamming the table, "Unfilial daughter! Marrying into the Fu family would be a blessing she could never earn in her lifetime. She doesn't even consider her own status; she wouldn't be able to marry into the Fu family in her next life without me! And to think she wouldn't pass the college entrance exam, I had arranged a school for her. Now it seems unnecessary."
"It's alright, don't be angry," Lady Ye patted his back, her lowered eyes showing a hint of amusement, "You don't just have one daughter. If she's gone, let her go. Getting angry over that kind of ingrate isn't worth it."
Thinking of Ye Ke, Ye's father's mood softened.
Ye Ke had just been recruited by the national laboratory and had brought new software to Ye Family, increasing their profits by 5 percentage points. With Ye Shaohua gone, let's just pretend we never had this daughter; the Ye Family has suffered no loss.
Ye Ke had just come down from upstairs and heard Lady Ye's words; she laughed softly.
It looks like in this life, she wouldn't have to lift a finger; Ye Shaohua was on her way to a dead end all by herself.
**
A few days later, a cafe in the city center of Ning City.
Gu Jingyan sat by the window, with a man of striking posture next to him. Gu Jingyan's handsome face was rare in the Entertainment Circle, yet it paled beside this man.
Just then, a slender figure asked the waiter and headed straight for their table. Gu Jingyan's hand twitched, "Don't tell me you're the Y god!"
The man beside him, upon hearing this, finally lifted his head. The sunlight shined through the window, casting a warm hue on his cool, profiled face.
As if sensing the gaze, Ye Shaohua, who had been looking down at her phone, simply lifted her head, her clear black and white eyes meeting the gaze of the two men.
She placed her laptop on the table, then looked at the two men opposite her, her brows slightly raised, "What, doesn't it seem like me?"
Gu Jingyan opened his mouth, then after a moment, he wiped his face and said expressionlessly, "I just never imagined that the legendary Y god would be so young..."
"Is there anything the Gu Family couldn't find out?" Ye Shaohua said nonchalantly, "My entire background must have been uncovered by you, right?"
"How could that be, Miss Ye? You misunderstand us, we couldn't possibly have access to Y's information," the man beside Gu Jingyan said with a light laugh, his eyes and brows relaxed.
Ye Shaohua glanced at him, said nothing, but opened her laptop and typed a few lines of code. Then she turned the computer screen to face them, "Gu Jingyun, the third young master of the Imperial City Gu Family, passed the global training camp number 001 at the age of eighteen, took control of the Hua Country Intelligence Bureau at twenty, was promoted to Major General at twenty-five, and became the head of the Hua Country Hacker Alliance at twenty-six. Even the Prime Minister of T Country lives under your watchful eye, right? You say you can't find my information, and I'm supposed to believe that?"
After hearing Ye Shaohua's words, even Gu Jingyan couldn't believe it and glanced at Gu Jingyun.
These top-secret details were likely unknown even to the members of the Gu Family.
Gu Jingyun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Shaohua and finally gave a helpless smile, "That's right, I can't hide anything from you."
"That's enough, let's end it here. Don't bother me if it's not necessary," Ye Shaohua put her laptop in her backpack, pushed back her chair, and walked away.
Gu Jingyun remained seated, but Gu Jingyan was anxious, "Third brother, I'm going to find her!"
Not far from the cafe, Ye Ke sat in a car and saw Gu Jingyan chasing after Ye Shaohua. There was some pulling and tugging between them, "Stop the car!" Her face turned pale.
By the time she got out of the car and found Ye Shaohua, Gu Jingyan was no longer there. Looking at Ye Shaohua, Ye Ke's tone noticeably altered, "Why are you with Young Master Gu?"
In her previous life, Ye Shaohua's main fortune was the Gu Family.
After everything she had done in this life, why was Ye Shaohua still so familiar with Gu Jingyan?
"What does it have to do with you?" Ye Shaohua glanced at Ye Ke, her lips slightly curved, and without giving the other a chance to respond, she walked into the crowd.
When Ye Ke returned to the Ye Family, she was somewhat out of sorts.
Her father and mother Ye were there, but lately, Ye Ke was often absent-minded, so they did not find it strange and just chatted casually.
Just then, the phone in the hall rang. The butler answered. He said "yes," and then remained silent for a long time.
Ye father was curious, "What's wrong?"
"It's... it's a call from the Young Lady's principal, saying that the Young Lady's college entrance examination scores are out," the butler said, his voice seeming to float.
"College entrance examination scores?" Ye father's eyebrows furrowed instantly upon hearing this, "What score could she have gotten?"
Ye mother feigned a sigh, "I heard Teacher Zhang from Class One wouldn't even teach her. With her grades, oh, this child doesn't listen. Otherwise, following your arrangement to go to a school would have been good."
Hearing her parents' words, Ye Ke finally came to her senses, her unsettled heart gradually calming.
It's fine, in her last life Ye Shaohua only managed to get into an ordinary second-tier university. Without the Ye Family, what kind of school could she get into this time?
With this thought, the anxiety she had carried all this time finally subsided.
It was at this moment that the butler looked at Ye father with a complex expression, "The Young Lady... She scored first in the city, no, the entire province."
