The bathtub has no heating function and the originally warm water gradually became cold.

　Ye Xing took the bath towel and wrapped it around herself.

　She carefully took care of her fair and smooth skin in front of the mirror. Before coming, she brought large bottles of skin care products.

　These were all given by an elder sister in the village. There is no packaging and they are not of any brand, but they are very effective.

　After getting herself ready, Ye Xing changed into pajamas and fell into bed to sleep.

　She didn’t get enough rest in the hospital, so she wanted to make up for it with some more sleep.

　But before she could catch her breath for long, a knock on the door blasted into her ears like a wake-up call.

　”Ye Xing, open the door!”

　It was Ye Tao’s voice outside the door. This boy, who had just entered the first year of high school, had a bad temper and targeted her like a madman.

　Ye Xing was so annoyed that she finally had to open the door.

　The door is open.

　Ye Tao’s gaze fell on her unexpectedly, and he was a little stunned.

　Ye Xing, who had just climbed out of bed, had her nightgown loosely on her body. The clothes were not revealing at all, but on her, they gave off a certain charm.

　And her delicate face without any makeup, with a slightly lazy hint at the corners of her eyes, makes people feel that she is so beautiful that she is almost enchanting.

　No wonder Sister Ye Zhi was making a fuss. Was she worried that Ye Xing would threaten her?

　This thought flashed through Ye Tao’s mind for no reason.

　But then he suppressed the thought.

　So what if Ye Xing is beautiful? The person he has called sister for more than ten years is Ye Zhi!

　”Come here, your parents are looking for you.” Ye Tao looked away and said stiffly.

　Ye Xing leaned lazily against the door: “Oh.”

　So annoying.

　She was a little grumpy when she woke up. She hadn’t slept well and was in a bad mood.

　But this is the Ye family in Lancheng after all, not her home in the small mountain village.

　No one will comfort me when I am willful.

　”Why don’t you leave?” Seeing that she didn’t move, Ye Tao started to get angry again.

　Ye Xing glanced at him and said coldly: “How can I change clothes if you are here?”

　She couldn’t go out in her pajamas.

　Ye Tao: “…”

　Ye Tao looked at her pajamas and his face seemed to blush.

　”You even knew to change clothes! Why didn’t you know when you opened the door for me?”

　He is a man after all!

　Ye Xing didn’t say anything, but her eyes seemed to give him the answer.

　He’s just a little brat, not worthy of changing her clothes.

　Ye Tao was so angry that if he hadn’t been concerned about time, he would have quarreled with her on the spot.

　After Ye Tao turned around with a breath held, Ye Xing closed the door, changed into a long skirt casually, and tied up her long hair loosely.

　”Okay, let’s go.”

　She opened the door again and followed Ye Tao to the study.

　Ye Zhengde and Wang Ya were both in the study.

　When they saw her, the two people who were talking suddenly stopped talking.

　”Xiaoxing.”

　Wang Ya called out, she seemed to want to act like a loving mother, but the smile she forced out did not look friendly at all.

　”Your father and I have something to discuss with you.” Wang Ya’s fingertips tightened, and her tone was gentle: “You are nineteen this year. In Lancheng, many girls will arrange a marriage first.”

　”Your father and I have also booked one for you.”

　Ye Xing: “?”

　Ye Xing’s eyes were slightly puzzled: “Arranged marriage? This is no longer popular in our village. Is it so feudal in the city?”

　Wang Ya was choked by her and her face changed.

　”This has nothing to do with feudalism or not. You are the daughter of our Ye family. In our circle, there are rules for marriage.”

　”We have an alliance with the Fu family. Next week, the one from the Fu family… Fu Ting’an, will come to marry you.”

　When Wang Ya mentioned the three words “Fu Ting’an”, her voice seemed to tremble, as if what she said was very taboo: “Xiaoxing, don’t worry. This Mr. Fu is powerful, and being his wife will definitely not be bad.”

　Ye Xing listened quietly to her praising Mr. Fu.

　After a while.

　She spoke softly, “Isn’t it Ye Zhi who is engaged to Mr. Fu?”

　Wang Ya pinched her palms and tried to force a smile: “Who told you that? The one who is marrying Mr. Fu is the daughter of the Ye family. Xiaoxing, you are the daughter of our Ye family…”

　”Isn’t it Yezhi?”

　Ye Xing asked a question that made Ye Zhengde and Ye Tao’s faces change: “If she is not the daughter of the Ye family, why does she live here?”

　”Ye Xing! Are you so vicious? Do you want to send my sister away?!”

　”I didn’t say that.”

　Ye Xing said calmly: “You are the ones who said that I am the daughter of the Ye family and I need to go through marriage.”

　They need her, she is the daughter of the Ye family.

　There is no need for her anymore, Ye Zhi is the daughter of the Ye family.

　Tsk.

　None of these people are good.

　Wang Ya wanted to say something, but Ye Zhengde grabbed her hand.

　”You are right, you are the only daughter of my Ye family.”

　Ye Zhengde said in a deep voice: “I will send Ye Zhi away today.”

　After he finished speaking, Ye Tao and Wang Ya looked at him in disbelief.

　”Zhengde!”

　”dad!”

　”Shut up, I have made up my mind.” Ye Zhengde’s square face had a cold expression.

　Ye Xing sneered in his heart.

　He’s acting here with her.

　She didn’t believe that the Ye family would be willing to send Ye Zhi away.

　She was too lazy to listen to the quarrel in the study, so she turned around and went back to her room.

　But the next day, something unexpected happened to Ye Xing.

　”My sister has been sent away.”

　Ye Tao came to her and glared at her with hatred: “Are you satisfied now?!”

　Ye Xing: “?”

　Ye Xing felt something was wrong: “Where was she sent to?”

　”The home of those rubbish parents in the slums!”

　Ye Tao’s eyes were full of vengeance: “Ye Xing, I won’t let you have an easy time.”

　A little brat who just entered high school, was trying to attract attention by being rebellious all day long.

　Ye Xing didn’t want to pay attention to him now, she just wanted to know what the Ye family wanted to do!

　How could they bear to send Ye Zhi away…

　Ye Zhi’s biological parents, his father is a jerk with bad habits, and his mother is a cowardly but cruel woman.

　After switching her own daughter Ye Zhi with Ye Xing, this woman threw Ye Xing into the trash can for safety reasons.

　As for her and her husband, it saved them the trouble of having to take care of a burden.

　While Ye Xing was thinking, Ye Zhengde had already found her.

　”Now, you are the only daughter in our family.”

　Ye Zhengde looked gloomy and in a bad mood: “You have to take the responsibility of marrying into the Fu family.”

　”Your eldest brother will be back from abroad soon, and he will marry you off then.”

　The Ye family also has an eldest son, Ye Chen, who is 27 years old this year. He is developing abroad and is a well-known young talent in the circle. He is also the pride of Ye’s father and mother.

　Ye Xing had seen how they loved Ye Zhi.

　So, she never expected to send Ye Zhi away.

　”I don’t–“

　”You have to marry even if you don’t want to.”

　Ye Zhengde interrupted her coldly: “You can’t tolerate Ye Zhi in this family, and I have sent her away according to your wishes.”

　”Now, you have no choice.”

　After Ye Zhengde finished his hard words, he gave a soft word: “I am your biological father and I will not harm you. The Fu family is a wealthy family that many people cannot reach. If you marry Mr. Fu, you will have a bright future in Lancheng.”

　”By the way, didn’t you say your adoptive mother was ill? I promise you, as long as you are willing to marry, I will give you 5 million so that your adoptive mother can use it for medical treatment and retirement.”

　Ye Zhengde used both soft and hard tactics to force Ye Xing to nod.

　Ye Xing raised her eyes, her eyes, nurtured by the mountain streams, were clear and clean.

　She stared at Ye Zhengde, as if she could see through his serious face and see all his dirty thoughts.

　Ye Zhengde was stared at for no reason and his confidence lasted less than a second.

　”The wedding is next week. You can try on your wedding dress at home these few days and wait for your wedding.”

　Ye Zhengde said, adding in a compensatory tone: “I have already made an agreement with the Fu family that you can go to school as usual after the marriage.”

　”Okay, go back now.”

　Ye Xing stood there in silence for a while, then turned around and went back to her room.

　Ye Zhengde watched her back disappear and breathed a sigh of relief.

　Wang Ya came out from behind the screen, frowned and asked, “Does she agree to this?”

　”Looking at this, I guess she’ll be stubborn for a few more days, but it’s okay. As for the Fu family… I heard that it was Fu Ting’an’s idea that he didn’t plan to hold a real wedding.”

　”Then our two families will have a meal together. It’s not certain whether Fu Ting’an will show up or not.”

　”We just need to send the people over.”

　”What about the marriage certificate? I see that Xiaoxing reported a few months older age, which just meets the criteria for getting a certificate.” Wang Ya said anxiously: “The most important thing is to get the certificate.”

　Now that Ye Xing had the evidence, the matter was settled.

　”I’ll figure it out.”

　Ye Zhengde is an old fox in the business world, but he always schemed against others in the past. This is the first time that he has schemed against… his daughter.

　”You have to hurry up, Zhizhi just called me and was still crying…”

　”You coax her a little, and after sending Ye Xing to the Fu family, I will go and pick her up.”

　Ye Xing guessed correctly.

　Ye Zhengde and Wang Ya really couldn’t bear to part with Ye Zhi, whom they had loved for nineteen years.

　Sending her away now was just a short act to fool her.

　A biological daughter who was raised in a mountain village and has no feelings for her.

　A fake daughter who has been carefully raised, cared for and cherished for ninety-eight years.

　The Ye family chose the latter.

　In the room.

　Ye Xing sat in front of the French window, thinking about something seriously.

　She came in a hurry.

　She originally thought that the Ye family took her back because of blood ties. Although they didn’t like her, at least they let her be a decoration here.

　Now–

　She had already understood that the Ye family wanted her to marry in their place.

　It’s already the 21st century, and the Ye family is still playing the melodramatic substitutionary marriage plot with her.

　Pooh.

　Ye Xing looked out the window expressionlessly. She swore that even if she jumped from the 18th floor and drowned in the sea, she would never marry Mr. Fu!

　She was not deaf to the rumors about Mr. Fu.

　If she marries him, she will definitely start a sad story.

　”Five million…”

　Ye Xing murmured, “Sister said I’m very expensive.”

　Five million to buy her, no.

　I can’t stay in this house any longer. Ye Xing calmed herself down and prepared to pack her bags and leave.

　But when she went downstairs, she found that she couldn’t walk.

　”Miss, where are you going?” The nanny downstairs looked at her with a smile: “Madam is admiring the flowers in the flower room, you can go and keep her company.”

　Ye Xing: “Oh.”

　Ye Xing: “I don’t want to go.”

　She looked at the door: “I want to go out for a while.”

　The nanny didn’t say anything, but the other people who did odd jobs directly invited Wang Ya.

　Then, Ye Zhengde used the same brainwashing method again.

　Ye Xing’s head was buzzing from brainwashing.

　Three days later.

　Ye Xing knocked on the door of Ye Zhengde’s study: “Do you want me to get a marriage certificate with Mr. Fu?”

　”Yes…you agree?” Ye Zhengde suddenly looked up, obviously a little surprised.

　Ye Xing nodded.

　”Agreed. Take me to the Civil Affairs Bureau at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon.”

　”Okay, okay, I’ll tell the Fu family right away. Xiaoxing, Mr. Fu—”

　Although Ye Zhengde has never even met Fu Ting’an, he is good at making big promises.

　He was just about to paint a picture of wealth and success for Ye Xing, but Ye Xing turned away without interest.

　Too lazy to listen.

　She had to continue packing.

　Then, take advantage of tomorrow… and leave.
