"Zi Su..." Old Mrs. Yu also recognized Ye Zi Su, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted.
"How did you get here?!" Ye Zi Su asked.
Seeing that the two knew each other, the servant said, "Miss Ye, you know each other? This lady is..."
"No need for your introduction, leave," Ye Zi Su interrupted her in a deep voice.
The servant was stunned and looked at Ye Zi Su with some surprise.
Didn't Miss Ye always come here with grace and elegance? What was wrong today?
Afraid of being seen by others, Ye Zi Su dragged Old Mrs. Yu to the backyard.
"Did Yu He send you here?" she asked aggressively.
"No." Seeing Ye Zi Su's angry face, Old Mrs. Yu frowned and asked, "Did Nan Nan have a conflict with you?"
Nan Nan was Old Mrs. Yu's nickname for Yu He.
"You're still saying Yu He didn't send you!"
Ye Zi Su was already feeling suffocated by Qin Mei Mei's attitude. Seeing that no one else was around, she stopped pretending and poked Old Mrs. Yu's chest with her finger, her words aggressive.
"Was Yu He cheating on her exam and disgracing the Ye family, even almost bankrupting them, not enough? Does she want you to expose the Ye family's lies and completely ruin them?"
Yu He cheated on her exam?
With her intelligence, she needed to cheat?
Cheating could almost bankrupt the Ye family?
From these keywords, Old Mrs. Yu gleaned one piece of information: Yu He had not been doing well after returning to the Ye family.
Although they contacted each other every few days, they mostly talked about traditional Chinese medicine. Yu He never told her about her troubles in the Ye family.
Now it seemed she was hiding it to avoid her worrying.
This child was sometimes so sensible that it made her heart ache.
"What lies?" Old Mrs. Yu asked with a darkened expression.
"You know perfectly well. Doesn't she just want to snatch back the position of the Ye family's daughter, and no longer be an adopted daughter?"
Ye Zi Su was not afraid of this old woman daring to speak out. She sneered and continued:
"Even if she snatches back this position, the Gu family won't accept a country bumpkin like her as their daughter-in-law. Wasn't brother Ze's words at the banquet clear enough? He only has me in his heart! Big Storm Novel
"I advise you not to struggle pointlessly! If the Ye family's lie is exposed, it will do no one any good. Hurry up and scram!"
Old Mrs. Yu was so shocked that she stood frozen, allowing Ye Zi Su to poke her chest.
The Ye family took Yu He back, and announced to the public that she was an adopted daughter?!
Even if Yu He wasn't her biological granddaughter, she was still the precious child she had raised!
If it weren't for Yu He back then, she might not have survived the grief of losing her daughter.
They treated her like this!
If she hadn't come out of seclusion, she might never have known how badly the Ye family treated Yu He.
"How can you keep occupying her position and not return it?!" Old Mrs. Yu grabbed Ye Zi Su's wrist.
"I'm occupying her position?! This is my position to begin with!" Ye Zi Su tried to shake off her hand but failed.
"Seventeen years ago, you could even mix up children. This proves that I am destined to be the Ye family's daughter! And I will always be the Ye family's young lady! Let go of me!"
Although Old Mrs. Yu was old, her strength was not small. She tightly grasped Ye Zi Su's wrist.
Ye Zi Su, enraged, raised her other hand and slapped Old Mrs. Yu across the face.
"Slap—"
A crisp slapping sound echoed in the backyard.
Ye Zi Su's head tilted to the side, her head buzzing.
If her raised hand hadn't been caught, that slap would have made her stumble back a few steps.
"Nan Nan..." Old Mrs. Yu looked at Yu He, who exuded a cold aura, and was momentarily stunned.
This was the first time she had seen Yu He like this.
After a while, Ye Zi Su, covering her swollen red face, turned back, her eyes bloodshot and her expression ferocious. "Yu He, how dare you hit me!"
"I hit you because I dared!" Yu He fiercely shook her hand away.
Grandmother was her bottom line!
"You!" Ye Zi Su stumbled and took several steps back.
Gu Ze, who had come out looking for her, saw this scene. "Su Su!"
He quickly walked over and supported Ye Zi Su. Seeing a red palm print on half of her face, he looked at Yu He with anger. "Yu... He!"
Yu He didn't even spare him a glance. Her eyes were only on Old Mrs. Yu. "Grandmother, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, don't be angry," Old Mrs. Yu shook her head.
"Why did you come?" Yu He asked.
"I took a job, and came to see you on the way," Old Mrs. Yu explained.
Gu Ze experienced what it was like to be ignored for the first time, and by a country girl at that. He felt indescribable.
Very well, woman, you've successfully captured my attention!
His gaze shifted to Old Mrs. Yu. "Where did this beggar come from? She dares to trespass into the Gu family! Security, hurry up and throw her out!"
Yu He seemed to care a lot about this old woman, so he would start with her!
"Brother Ze, no, she's Yu He's grandmother." Ye Zi Su immediately stopped Gu Ze.
Several classmates who had been following Gu Ze and watching the drama were alerted by the call for security and more people from the banquet were disturbed.
Ye Zi Su was afraid that Yu He and her grandmother would expose their identities in public, so she struck first, solidifying their identities.
"Didn't Mrs. Gu just ask her to leave? Why is she lingering, and even brought her grandmother?"
"She's here to freeload, right? A country bumpkin in the city, doesn't know her place."
"Lowlifes are always so vulgar."
"Hurry up and throw them out. They've been ruining my mood with their country bumpkin ways all night."
"..."
The onlookers whispered amongst themselves.
Ye Zi Su revealed the relationship between the characters and continued:
"Brother Ze, I'm sorry, I accidentally lost the diamond bracelet you gave me. I was very anxious and asked the servant to help me look for it. The servant happened to see this old lady here holding a similar bracelet. I wanted to ask her about it, but then Yu He..."
At this point, she covered her face sadly, turned to the crowd, deliberately letting them see her bruised face.
Someone with sharp eyes pointed out something hanging from the edge of Old Mrs. Yu's canvas bag.
Gu Ze stepped forward and pulled hard. The canvas bag fell to the ground, and next to it was a sparkling diamond bracelet.
It was the one he had given to Ye Zi Su!
"You..." Old Mrs. Yu glanced at the bracelet on the ground and then at Ye Zi Su.
She couldn't believe that Ye Zi Su, at such a young age, was so skilled at twisting facts. She felt an indescribable mix of emotions.
"The physical evidence is here, what else do you have to say?!" Gu Ze picked up the bracelet and stared at Yu He.
Given Yu He's previous boldness, he wanted to see how this woman would argue now that the evidence was conclusive.
Yu He let out a light, indifferent laugh and asked:
"Are you sure our fingerprints are on the bracelet?"
"Are you sure Ye Zi Su isn't lying?"
"Are you sure your love isn't a deception?"
The three "Are you sure" questions made Ye Zi Su's scalp tingle.
Not only her, but even the onlookers were inexplicably starting to have doubts due to Yu He's calm and powerful questions.
Gu Ze also began to have some doubts, but he still said firmly, "I believe Su Su!"
"Then let's have the surveillance footage played publicly," Yu He said, glancing at the surveillance camera.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zi Su's face suddenly turned pale. She had forgotten about the surveillance here!
"Alright! What am I afraid of seeing!" Gu Ze called out to the butler. "Uncle Wang, go get the surveillance footage!"
