After Murong Yanshu’s people left her at the Ye family’s doorstep, they drove away without any intention of escorting her inside.
Seeing the shadow of the luxury car fading into the distance, Ye Xiyuan clenched her teeth, her eyes flashing with determination.
If they had taken her inside, her situation would have been much better. She knew they were aware of this, but they had left her at the door anyway. The main reason was that they believed she had lost her standing in Murong Yanshu’s eyes.
One day, she would make everyone who had looked down on her kneel before her, begging for her forgiveness.
She took a deep breath and walked into the house.
She knew exactly what awaited her inside.
She wasn’t concerned about her mother and brother. Instead, they were probably worried about her now. It was only her father, Ye Li, whom she had to face.
From her experiences in her past life, she knew that Ye Li t s top priority was never his family but the company’s interests. If you could bring profits to the company, that was when he would take notice of you.
Ye Li wasn’t angry that she had impersonated Nangong Xuyao’s savior; he was furious that she had been exposed.
As expected, as soon as she entered the room, she saw Ye Li sitting on the sofa with a face as dark as thunder.
Beside him sat Lin Wanqin, her eyes filled with worry when she saw Ye Xiyuan enter. However, she didn’t dare to speak out of consideration for Ye Li.
“You still have the audacity to come back!” The moment Ye Li spotted Ye Xiyuan, the anger he had been suppressing erupted. He picked up a teacup from the table and hurled it toward her. “After bringing such disgrace upon yourself, you still have the nerve to return?”
If the past Ye Xiyuan had made him proud, the current one had brought him nothing but shame, especially since her actions had been exposed in front of so many people. He could already imagine the gossip that would circulate among the upper-class tomorrow.
“What’s there to be ashamed of?” In contrast to Ye Li e s anger, Ye Xiyuan remained composed. After deftly evading the teacup, she calmly took a seat on the sofa. “Even if my ruse as Nangong Xuyao’s savior was exposed, I am still
Mrs. Nangongs goddaughter. That’s an unalterable fact.”
“Goddaughter? What good is being a goddaughter?” Ye Li directly berated her. “Do you truly believe that after an incident like this, your position as a goddaughter holds any significance in front of Mrs. Nangong?”
“Whether I have a position or not is inconsequential. What matters is that as long as I hold this title, it’s sufficient for me,” Ye Xiyuan replied nonchalantly. “Moreover, while my claim as Nangong Xuyao’s savior may be false, my debt to Mrs. Nangong for saving her life is very real. So, even if she holds grievances against me, she won’t take any drastic actions.”
“You only think of yourself.” Hearing Ye Xiyuan’s words, Ye Li became even angrier. “Have you ever thought about our family? Have you considered the company? Do you realize how much the company stands to lose after today’s debacle?”
“Dad, even if the company experiences losses, it’s merely what we gained from Nangong Xuyao,” Ye Xiyuan calmly stated. “Those were profits we rightfully earned. Losing them now only levels the playing field; how can you call it a loss?”
“Do you understand anything about the business world?” Ye Li, already fuming, exacerbated the situation. He stood up, pointing a finger at Ye Xiyuan as he reprimanded her. “In the world of business, everyone is shrewd! After what happened today, mark my words, many will renege on their agreements tomorrow. Moreover, who knows how many deals we had in the pipeline will fall through. And now you have the time to make sarcastic remarks here.”
“Dad, I know that ultimately, success in business depends on capability, not connections.” Ye Xiyuan didn’t waver in the face of Ye Li’s rage. She continued, “Our Ye Group specializes in women’s fashion, and design is paramount.. As long as we can excel in the upcoming fashion design competition, do you think the Ye Group will have any concerns about business?”
