The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Oh, great, after a few years of living it easy, has he forgotten what his own last name is?

Qiu Wanting was both furious and resentful, almost grinding her silver teeth to pieces.

Ye Beibei: ...How did Scumbag Dad forget his own surname? Didn’t you just hear him going on and on about the "Ye Family" just now.

Seeing Qiu Wanting on the verge of losing control just as she wished, Ye Beibei’s mood shot through the roof.

That’s right, this is the proper way to get revenge on Scumbag Dad and the mistress stepmom.

The way she used to be, she’d really been too stupid, thinking that ignoring Qiu Wanting and her daughter and acting out against Ye Cheeng was revenge.

Little did she know, Qiu Wanting had been dying for her to behave exactly like that.

The more Ye Beibei turned herself into a little hedgehog, fighting the whole world, the happier Qiu Wanting was.

Her own bad reputation had been whitewashed precisely by acting all loving in front of Ye Beibei.

On top of that, after Ye Beibei had been making trouble for two or three years, the relationship between Ye Cheeng and his son Ye Beixuan had only gotten more and more strained.

Even if they hadn’t quite become strangers, they were no longer like the closest family.

Meanwhile, look at Ye Muwan—kind, considerate, like a little fairy come to life. Not only did she win Ye Cheeng’s pampering, even Ye Beixuan was closer to her than to Ye Beibei.

If she could, Qiu Wanting would have loved for Ye Beibei to keep "making trouble."

Best-case scenario, she’d make such a scene that she’d completely sever ties with the Ye Family and be directly isolated out.

Yesterday on the rooftop, after Senior Su gave her a good talking-to, Ye Beibei finally figured things out.

She could go on despising Ye Cheeng and the others in her heart, but on the surface she had to act like she depended on her biological dad and proudly claimed herself as one of the "Ye Family."

She wasn’t really trying to repair family bonds; she was reclaiming justice for her former self—and, even more, making things difficult for Qiu Wanting.

And look, the always gentle, virtuous, noble, and magnanimous Ms. Qiu now had a face so dark she looked like an old witch.

Ye Beibei almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.

She ducked her head, shoveled a few quick bites of rice into her mouth, wiped her lips with a napkin, and chirped, "Dad, I’m done eating, let’s go!"

Ye Cheeng: ...

In fact, the instant he caught Qiu Wanting’s changing expression out of the corner of his eye, he already felt a twinge of regret.

Qiu Wanting had misunderstood him; he really hadn’t forgotten who he was.

It was because he married Qiu Wanting that he’d been able to start his business, and over these years he’d relied on the Qiu Family’s Support to become the so-called "President Ye."

It was just that, for the past ten-odd years, Qiu Wanting had always been incredibly virtuous and gentle, nothing like the carefree, willful girl from when they’d been dating.

So Ye Cheeng had fallen into the delusion that he was the "head of the household."

And that "tagalong burden" Ye Beibei kept harping on had really set his temper ablaze, to the point his rationality seemed to burn away too.

On a sudden impulse, he had then—

However, seeing Qiu Wanting’s face turn black and her eyes full of hostility, Ye Cheeng started to feel a little uneasy.

"Dad! Don’t you still have to go to the company? Don’t delay serious business!"

Seeing Ye Cheeng hesitate, Ye Beibei cursed "kept man" inwardly, while putting on a concerned expression.

At the mention of the company, Ye Cheeng’s uneasy heart was instantly soothed.

Right, I’m not who I used to be. I’ve got a company now. I’m the mighty President Ye, not some Qiu Family’s Prince Consort.

Suddenly mustering a bit of courage, Ye Cheeng stood up and replied coldly, "Mm! Let’s go!"

With that, he didn’t kiss Qiu Wanting goodbye like he usually did, didn’t even say a word to her, and walked straight out of the dining room.

Qiu Wanting: ...Fine! Very good! Ye Cheeng, you’re really something!

Qiu Wanting’s anger swelled up in an instant, like a balloon being pumped full of air.

Still not satisfied, Ye Beibei hopped up from the dining table, grabbed her schoolbag, and dashed outside. After just a couple of steps, she seemed to think of something, turned her head and shouted to Ye Beixuan, "Bro, aren’t you going back to school? Have Dad give you a ride too!"

Ye Beixuan froze for a moment.

For some reason, when he heard Ye Beibei’s words, his first instinct was to check Qiu Wanting’s expression.

Hearing Ye Beibei, Ye Cheeng halted his steps but didn’t turn around, just said, "Beixuan, come with us. Weren’t you planning to look for venture capital? Come to the company with me, I’ll have the assistant help you with your proposal!"

This time, Ye Beixuan didn’t hesitate anymore.

He had already extracted the HMS Boxer Mecha from the Movie and TV Technology Magic Cube.

He’d fully mastered the core technology and relevant data; all he was missing now was money.

With money, he could buy materials, build a shed, and manufacture his Mecha.

With a finished Mecha, he could attract more investment, maybe even attention at the national level.

These past few days, Ye Beixuan had been trying to discuss it with Ye Cheeng, hoping to get a certain amount of Support from his biological father.
