Ye Chuyi shook her head, “I am the fake daughter, and it couldn’t be fakier. What Sheng Tingyuan wants is the true daughter of the Ye Family, Miss Ye is more valuable to him. He is not a sentimental man; I am of no value to him. Telling him the truth will make him angry, but once his anger subsides, he might weigh the pros and cons and choose to marry Miss Ye.”
“Of course, the Ye Family would also have to cede more interests in the collaboration of the clans and the corporation.”
“The most important factor is that Miss Ye and I look somewhat similar, and I have never appeared publicly in the media during this period, so the outside world does not know who Sheng Tingyuan is marrying. Replacing me with Miss Ye would not tarnish the Sheng Family’s reputation.”

Ye Zhengrong frowned and said nothing.
Ye Shuangyin, however, started to get excited, revealing her first smile since she returned home, “Dad, did you hear that? She doesn’t want to marry Sheng Tingyuan at all, so let me do it! We look so alike, maybe after the switch, Sheng Tingyuan won’t even notice?”
Ye Ziran suddenly let out a mocking laugh, “Who was it that said just now, ‘She doesn’t look like me at all,’ and now you’re saying the two of you look so alike? Are you a chameleon? Your face changes so fast! Is Sheng Tingyuan blind? He can’t recognize his own wife has been switched? You’re still the same old daydreamer!”
“Ye Ziran!”
Ye Shuangyin called out his full name angrily, “I’m your sister, why do you always have to ruin things for me? Why are you still as deserving of a beating as before?”
“Have the nerve to say I deserve a beating? If I were half as shameless as you, I wouldn’t have been scolded to death every day by Grandpa and Dad after you ran away from your wedding! Grandpa used to love me the most, but because you ran away, he doesn’t even like to see me anymore! He blames me for not keeping an eye on you!”
Ye Ziran was indignant, “The old man is also getting senile! The legs are on your body, if you want to run, could I stop you?”
Ye Zhengrong scolded him sternly, “Ye Ziran, watch your language! He is your grandfather!”
Ye Ziran was not afraid of him and continued to air his grievances, “The old man even took back the shares of the corporation that were originally given to me, saying they will only be given to me once I get married earnestly! Do you have any idea how much pocket money I’ve missed out on? Ye Shuangyin, this is all your fault!”
Ye Shuangyin threw herself into Madam Ye’s arms and started crying again, “Mom, look at him. For a bit of shares, he’s nearly disowned his sister! Is he like dad, too? With a fake replacement at hand, he doesn’t need me anymore? What’s so good about a fake? Has the fake brainwashed them all?”
Madam Ye patted her back to comfort her and said to Ye Ziran, “Apologize to your sister right now!”
Ye Ziran stood his ground with a snort, showing no intention of apologizing.
Madam Ye was, by now, used to the bickering and quarreling of her children, who had been like this since they were young, even coming to blows during more serious arguments.
Yet, Ye Chuyi felt that their quarreling was a waste of time, as their noise buzzed annoyingly in her mind.
“Miss Ye has just returned today, so I won’t disturb your family reunion. I’ll take my leave now. Regarding the matter of my false identity, I’ll come another day to discuss it with the elders, hoping we can come to an agreement by then.”
After Ye Chuyi finished speaking, she turned and left the living room and drove away.
Dinner time had already passed, but she did not go home.
She had thought that telling Sheng Tingyuan her true identity would be a burden lifted because she would no longer need to lie to him or his mother.
But things did not go as hoped.
She had not even told Sheng Tingyuan yet, and merely deciding to do so was already making her heart feel blocked.
She could only reassure herself by thinking it was only natural for her to feel this way, given that she had lived with him as husband and wife for a few months. The impending separation brought her some amount of sorrow.
Fortunately, she had always prepared for this day and hadn’t invested too much emotion, nor had she consummated the marriage with him or heeded Madam Ye’s suggestion to have a child. Otherwise, it would all be even harder to settle.
