I couldn't tell if he was born with a cold demeanor, but from the moment I first met him until now, I had never seen any other expression on his face. He remained as frosty as ever, and I dared not provoke him easily, keeping my distance instead. I still had many plans in my heart waiting to be executed.
Not long after entering the estate, I gradually adapted to the life of a wealthy young lady. With the silver notes given to me by Uncle Ye, I indulged myself at the silk shop and then took out the newly acquired jade slips. Relentlessly, I continued to send letters to my sister.
Seven days ago, I picked up my pen once more and wrote:
"Sister, the Ye Residence is indeed affluent. Uncle Ye gifted me a jade pendant yesterday; it could probably buy the entire street where we used to live."
"Sister, tomorrow Uncle Ye wants me to accompany him to a banquet of distinguished families. I feel anxious and fear I might commit a faux pas."
"Sister, Uncle Ye has found me a renowned teacher. In the future, I will attend the most prestigious academy in the capital, which I hear is where you once studied."
"Sister, when you have some free time, I would like to invite you to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion for a taste of fine cuisine."
To my surprise, no one replied. In desperation, I began sending invitations to my dear sister every few days, with every line revealing my sense of pride. Yet she continued to shut me out.
I didn't mind at all; in fact, it was my intention to make her unhappy. Half a month later, I officially enrolled in the most prestigious academy in the capital and was placed in Class A—all thanks to Uncle Ye's support.
"Fellow classmates, I am Ye Jin," I announced as I stood before them. However, a wave of mocking voices arose from below.
"So this is the new illegitimate daughter from the Ye Residence. It's bad enough that her shameless mother is here; now this daughter has changed her surname upon entering the estate, as if afraid others wouldn't see her true colors."
"Indeed! But just look at her appearance; she isn't bad-looking."
"What does it matter how good-looking she is? In the end, she's just a fake young lady."
Hearing their whispers and jeers, my heart remained calm. After all, I had experienced much worse in my past life.
Now, determination no longer holds any weight in my heart.
Of course, I know all too well that this is the work of my dear sister. In her past life, she gained admission to such a prestigious academy with her outstanding grades, which made our hypocritical father proud for quite some time. Now that I, her younger sister who has always lived in her shadow, have suddenly caught up to her and even surpassed her, how could she possibly accept it?
I cast a calm glance at Xu Jinwei, who was sitting there engrossed in practicing calligraphy, and did not approach him. It was as if the earlier invitations were nothing but illusions.
As I turned to leave with my Book Bag adorned with cloud patterns, I noticed there was only one empty seat in the entire class. Everyone looked on with anticipation, and I couldn't help but smile. Wasn't this just like my dear brother?
I took my seat leisurely, and Ye Mo beside me kept his gaze straight ahead. Good, as always, he remained aloof, which pleased me greatly. After a moment of waiting, seeing that Ye Mo had no intention of asking me to leave, those who originally hoped to see me humiliated were taken aback.
In the crowd, I noticed Xu Jinwei casting a glance my way. I pretended not to notice and began to focus on the lecture. After all, having lived another life, I understood many things—like the importance of diligent study in order to achieve success.
Thus, I buried myself in my studies. Many classmates who sought to trouble me soon lost interest when they saw me quietly sitting beside Ye Mo and diligently working hard. Moreover, after Grandpa Ye specially hosted a banquet to announce me as the young lady of Ye Residence, many seasoned individuals in the business world also took notice of Uncle Ye.
