Ye Xingyan confronts her uncle, Ye Qiu, about preparing a room for the girl who took her identity, expressing her fear and insecurity. Ye Qiu rebukes her, highlighting how Ye Yao suffered in foster care and that Ye Xingyan owes her for taking fifteen years of her life. He states Ye Xingyan should help Ye Yao adjust to their wealthy life. Meanwhile, Ye Yao arrives at the estate, feeling intimidated by Ye Xingyan's appearance and demeanor. Ye Xingyan feigns distress, manipulating their mother, Shen Huiran, into defending her. Just as Ye Yao feels lost, Ye Qiu appears, revealing he knows Ye Yao and welcoming her into the family, much to Ye Xingyan's shock and suspicion.

Ye Xingyan was extremely anxious now because she didn’t know whether the revelation of her identity was something her uncle accidentally discovered or if it was intentional.

If it was intentional, then what was her uncle’s purpose? Could it be that he couldn’t stand the harmony of her family? Did he want to control Ye Yao to disrupt their family bonds, thereby achieving his goal of fully controlling the Ye Family?

The more Ye Xingyan thought about it, the more alarmed she became, and she felt that this was the only reason her uncle would do such a thing. However, grandpa only loved this child of his, and if he wanted, wouldn’t the entire Ye Family already belong to him? Why go to such lengths?

Ye Xingyan couldn’t figure out the reason, but she felt it necessary to share this thought with her parents. However, what they would do was beyond her control.

"Are you really my uncle?" Ye Yao followed Ye Qiu into the house, still too excited to react and unable to believe this coincidence.

"That’s right." Ye Qiu nodded, "I was the one who discovered the issue with your identities. Doesn’t it feel like we are even more connected?"

"Really?" Ye Yao blushed and smiled, embarrassed and at a loss for words.

"How did Second Brother and Yaoyao meet?" Shen Huiran came in holding Ye Xingyan’s hand, looking at Ye Yao with suspicion. After Blackberry learned the truth, she already started speculating negatively, especially given that she didn’t have a good impression of Ye Yao.

Thinking about how Ye Yao once cheated for a final exam, her intuition was that Ye Yao was capable of more scheming acts.

"It wasn’t before that I went out alone? Just when the wheelchair fell, it was Xiao Yao who helped me up," Ye Qiu explained.

However, Shen Huiran became even more suspicious. Her brother-in-law’s wheelchair was custom-made; how could it topple so easily? Even if it did fall, wouldn’t there be others to help?

Unless from the start, this was Ye Yao’s plot, deliberately tampering with the road so that when her uncle fell, she could immediately step in to help. Only this made sense.

Shen Huiran felt even more troubled; how could her daughter be such a schemer? So young but already like this, if she got used to the wealth of the Ye Family, wouldn’t she be even more...

She felt it was necessary to teach her daughter well, for making mistakes in the future would implicate the whole family.

Shen Huiran only saw the flaws in her biological daughter but never considered how someone without money or background, like Ye Yao, could have avenues to know Ye Qiu’s itinerary, or how she could lie in ambush ahead of time.

And if the road really had a problem, wouldn’t a smart person like Ye Qiu notice? Could he be manipulated by a young girl like Ye Yao?

One can only say that if prejudice is formed in a person, then in their eyes, everything others do is wrong.

"This is the room I’ve prepared for you. If there’s anything you don’t like, just let me know." Ye Qiu led Ye Yao to the room he arranged yesterday and motioned for Ye Yao to open it herself.

Ye Yao was shocked by the scene before her. Was this really her future room? Could a person’s room really be this spacious? It even had a private bathroom, a lounge, and a cloakroom; it was beyond what she dared to dream.

"Is it really okay for me to live here?" she asked, a bit dazed.

Ye Qiu pondered: "It was hastily renovated just yesterday and indeed a bit rushed. I didn’t ask about your preferences. If you don’t like it, you can have it redecorated anytime."

Ye Yao was stunned, it wasn’t that she didn’t like it, it was too good!

"No, that’s not what I mean. I’m saying it’s too luxurious!" she said quietly, afraid that speaking too loudly would ruin the room’s beauty.

Ye Qiu turned and looked at her seriously: "Your surname is Ye. From now on, you’re legitimately the Eldest Lady of the Ye Family. These are all your entitlements. Don’t feel guilty, the decorations here and your clothes and shoes were casually bought. When you have time, I’ll have someone come and measure your sizes."

"Thank you, Uncle." The impact on Ye Yao’s worldview was immense, but she forced herself to stay calm. Looking at the pink and white decor, she secretly smiled. As a girl, especially one who never had and envied others, how many wouldn’t like a princess-themed room?

But while this seemed normal to others, it looked disdainful in Shen Huiran’s eyes, feeling that Ye Yao was deliberately embarrassing her in front of her brother-in-law.

"Go put down your schoolbag, take a shower, and change clothes." Shen Huiran instructed with a frown, then paused to ask, "Do you need me to show you how to use the things in the bathroom?"

Her supposedly caring words made Ye Yao extremely uncomfortable: "No need, Mom, I know."

"Alright." Shen Huiran responded coldly, "In the future, if you don’t understand, you should ask. Don’t pretend to understand and cause trouble for others in the end. Also, you need to change some of your previous bad habits. I’ll hire an etiquette teacher for you."

This time, not only Ye Qiu but even Aunt Mei, who brought him afternoon tea, felt Shen Huiran’s words were too much. Is this the attitude of a biological mother towards her daughter mistakenly swapped for many years and just recognized? Even a stranger would rarely have such a hard tone and attitude.

What does she mean by previous bad habits? What does it mean to hire an etiquette teacher right away? Does Ye Yao seem so inadequate in her eyes?

But she’s the real mother, who can say anything?

"I understand." Ye Yao, who was just a bit happy, felt her mood sink again. As her spirits fell, Ye Xingyan grew happier.

"Mom, don’t worry. I’ll go over the house rules and social rules with Sister later. You shouldn’t fret; even if you don’t trust Sister Ye Yao, you should at least trust me!" Ye Xingyan stepped up with a cheeky smile.

Sure enough, Shen Huiran’s expression visibly improved, and she affectionately pinched her little nose: "Mom knows you’re the one who reassures me the most. If you’re willing to teach, Mom is relieved."

Ye Yao watched this scene, and though her heart told her they had been together for fifteen years and their affection was warranted, just thinking that her foster mother had been unkind to her since childhood made her feel unbalanced. Why was Ye Xingyan the favored one, while she had to endure so much suffering?

"Xingyan usually has a lot of courses, she can’t teach much. I’m often free at home, I will teach her," Ye Qiu said, looking at Shen Huiran, with eyes that left no room for refusal.

Shen Huiran instinctively disagreed internally, but would she dare to express it directly?

"Wouldn’t it be too much trouble? I’m afraid she might upset you, Uncle," she advised discreetly.

"It’s fine, I think she’s very obedient."

"Uncle, maybe I should teach. Missing my courses is no big deal. After all, it was I who took Sister Ye Yao’s life, so we should learn together in the future." Ye Xingyan showed a very understanding smile.

Ye Qiu glanced at the mother and daughter, reasserting, "I said, I’ll teach."
