Tianxin narrowly avoids her father discovering her conversation with her mother about Brother Ziyang. Although Ziyang is sent abroad, Tianxin remains determined to prove their love. The family attends a Ye family banquet, where Tianxin feels uneasy due to past encounters with Uncle Ye. At the banquet, Mrs. Ye approaches Tianxin, observing her with great interest and deeming her a suitable match for her son.

For years, conception had eluded her, yet her husband's affection remained unwavering.

She had considered adoption, specifically of a son, but he was not inclined towards it.

Thus, they remained without a child until one eventually appeared.

While a tinge of sadness was present, happiness bloomed within her.

For at last, the Ye Family would have an heir to continue their legacy!

She felt she had finally honored her late in-laws and her husband's wishes.

She understood his deep desire for a child, but also his commitment to her, refusing adoption or infidelity, leaving them childless.

Thankfully, the arrival of that child brought with it the added fortune that he excelled academically and was a well-behaved youth!

That child indeed possessed the qualities fitting for the Ye Family's successor.

Most crucially, both father and son held a favorable opinion of this Huo Tianxin, and meeting her today confirmed her admirable nature.

She had previously observed Tianxin, finding her performance in various aspects to be quite commendable.

Unlike the pampered daughters of affluent families, Tianxin worked part-time, earning her own keep – a truly praiseworthy trait!

The alliance between the Huo Family and the Ye Family promised to be an ideal union!

"Hello, Mrs. Ye!" Tianxin greeted Mrs. Ye with a pleasant smile, though inwardly, her thoughts churned with silent complaints.

In truth, her dissatisfaction extended to the entire Ye Family!

Uncle Ye and Mrs. Ye exhibited peculiar behavior, suggesting their son would be equally strange!

The entire family presented an odd facade; why her parents would agree to attend such an eccentric gathering remained a perplexing mystery...

"Do you enjoy these delicacies?" Mrs. Ye inquired warmly.

"Yes, I do."

"Please, help yourself to more and make yourself comfortable."

"Thank you very much, Madam."

"Eat to your heart's content; I will introduce my son to you shortly."

"Wonderful!" Tianxin chirped, a smile plastered on her face, while her eyes secretly rolled. The prospect of meeting the Ye Family's peculiar son held no appeal whatsoever.

With Mrs. Ye departing to mingle with other guests, Tianxin let out a relieved sigh and resumed her meal.

Shortly after, the grand event officially commenced, with Chairman Ye and Mrs. Ye taking the stage to address the attendees.

Their announcement of their son's existence sent ripples of astonishment through the crowd.

Hadn't Chairman Ye and his wife been childless for many years? Since when did they have a son?

A moment of collective reflection followed, and then, comprehension dawned upon everyone!

Clearly, Chairman Ye had fathered a child with another woman, an illegitimate offspring!

This had to be the explanation, they reasoned, given Mrs. Ye's inability to conceive.

Chairman Ye must have had a child outside of their marriage and brought the boy back to secure the Ye Family's succession!

The plight of Mrs. Ye was pitiable, facing her husband's betrayal while being expected to raise another woman's child as the heir to the company.

Oh, the injustice she must feel!

Yet, they could also empathize with Chairman Ye's position; after all, the vast Ye Family enterprise required an heir to continue its operations.

The Ye Family's lineage could not cease, and Chairman Ye's decision was understandable to all.

Soon, the Ye couple concluded their formal address and prepared to formally present their son.

"Next, let us all warmly welcome our son, Ye Yangyang!" Chairman Ye declared with unrestrained excitement, a broad grin stretching across his face.

His words were met by a wave of enthusiastic applause from the assembly, all eager to catch a glimpse of the Ye Family's sole young master.

Underneath the expectant gazes, a strikingly tall young man, clad in an elegant black and white suit, strolled onto the stage with an air of casual confidence.

He positioned himself beside Chairman Ye and Mrs. Ye, his eyes sweeping over the assembled guests below.

His gaze briefly lingered on Tianxin before moving on, after which he offered a smile and spoke, "Greetings, everyone. I am Ye Yangyang!"

Tianxin looked down, a sense of weary boredom washing over her; she truly wished she wasn't standing there.

However, her parents had insisted she remain, refusing to permit her departure.

Suddenly, a familiar resonance in the voice echoing from the stage caused her to freeze.

The sound was incredibly familiar; looking up, she beheld the figure on stage, her eyes widening in sheer astonishment as she stared.
