The male supporting character was actually myself.

My husband and I are getting on in years, and now we prefer quiet to crowds.

Starting today, Qingwei, you should move back to your original place.

You're not getting any younger, it's time to find a girlfriend. If you have a crush on any girl, just let me know and I'll help you get together!

Young people like us are more comfortable living away from home when we're dating.

Yang Qingwei pursed his lips and nodded in response, "Okay, Uncle, I'll pack my luggage in a bit."

Ye Zhong saw that he didn't continue speaking. Yang Qingwei was stunned for a moment before he understood. He said something and turned to go upstairs to pack his things.

"The stars..."

Ye Xingchen was secretly pleased when she saw her father starting to indirectly kick people out. Sure enough, her father was still the best to her. Judging from this, he should kick out the imposter as well!

The real Ye Xingluo is long dead; he was absolutely certain that he did it himself.

I just don't know what the old man is planning to do by suddenly bringing back someone who looks almost exactly like him. Naturally, I don't dare to make any rash moves and can only observe and wait.

I saw everything that happened in Yang Qingwei's room just now. It's obvious that the aunt and niece have a secret relationship!

Haha, Yang Qingwei, you usually do things so meticulously that I can't find any fault with you. I never expected you to dig your own grave. It's truly a stroke of luck!

It's truly appalling that someone of her middle age could actually do that.

I'm different. An Muya is like a lotus emerging from the water, naturally beautiful without any artifice. Only someone with such character is worthy of me!

I eliminated this major threat without lifting a finger. The imposter is no threat at all. Now, the heir to the Ye Group can only be me, Ye Xingchen.

Hahaha~ Once my position is secure, I'll seize power and take over. Then the entire Ye family and An Muya will be mine!

Just as she was happily pondering this in her heart, her father looked at her and spoke the next second. Ye Xingchen's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly replied, "Dad, what do you need me to do?"

"I saw that you bought a lot of things online during the Chinese New Year. That Taobao shopping app that swept the country as soon as it came out, wasn't it great and convenient?"

Not knowing why her father suddenly brought this up, Ye Xingchen quickly replied, "Online shopping is indeed very convenient. You can buy things just by swiping your phone, without having to go shopping and you can even compare prices..."

"Taobao, which appeared out of nowhere, has a complete and reasonable overall structure and a lot of room for expansion. It can even be said that it has changed consumption and lifestyle!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Zhong interrupted him and continued, "I heard that the chairman of Taoba online shopping platform is just a young man in his twenties."

We're the same age as you, look how successful they are in their careers!

"If either of you had even half the courage, ability, insight, and keen eye of that man, I wouldn't be worrying about the future of the Ye family!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingluo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Don't look at me like that!" Ye Zhong saw his little expression, frowned and snorted coldly, "I'm talking about you! You're never home, what have you been doing running around outside all day?"

Ye Xingluo leaned lazily against the sofa and said casually, "Further studies? Of course, I'll study hard."

"Hmph! I don't believe you for a second! You two brothers have really wasted such good conditions, opportunities, and my patient guidance..."

Before Ye Zhong could finish speaking, Ye Xingluo interrupted him sarcastically, "Oh, as if you've ever cared about me."

"For so many years you've abandoned me abroad and ignored me completely. The number of times we've met and spoken can be counted on one hand. When, Mr. Ye, have you ever given me the opportunity, the means, or the guidance I needed?"

He turned pale and was speechless after being rebuked. He could only glare at his eldest son and then turn to scold his youngest son, "You're so old now, and I've been teaching you hand in hand for so many years, yet you haven't made any progress!"

It seems I have to put some pressure on you.

Starting today, Xingchen, you will move to an apartment in the west of the city. Go pick out an apartment you like and ask the housekeeper for the key.

You don't need to go to the group headquarters anymore; your position will be vacant for now. Try starting your own business. Once you've decided what you want, write a business plan and submit it to me. If I think it's worthwhile, I'll allocate start-up capital.

"If you can perform reasonably well within three years, then you can come back to work for the group!"

"I..." Ye Xingchen was so shocked that she didn't know what to do.

Why was Yang Qingwei kicked out of the house, while I was completely banished?!

The aunt and niece are the ones who clearly did despicable things!

Why is this so?

Could it be... that Yang Yingying said something that got her into trouble?

Ye Xingchen had obviously never been suspected like this before, and for a moment his mind was in a mess, not knowing what to say.

My father has always been the one who loves me the most since I was a child. He even quarreled with my grandparents in order to bring me back to live with him!

Why...why were you kicked out of your home and out of the company?!

Chapter Thirty-Five: Subtle Hints, Cat's Shining Moment!

"Dad, what did I do wrong?" He looked at his father with tears in his eyes.

He would feel extremely distressed if she suffered any grievances, not to mention that he would listen to her every word and obey her every whim, so even Yang Yingying would give him a wide berth.

But this tactic obviously didn't work today. Ye Zhong waved his hand impatiently and said, "You'll only be able to go further if you push yourself. Don't always stay in your comfort zone, or you'll lose the passion and fighting spirit that young people have!"

Go ahead and show me what you've got.

"Okay, okay." Ye Xingchen knew her father was determined, so she could only nod and leave with a gloomy expression, going upstairs to pack her luggage.

Ye Xingluo looked at him warily, "What? Are you going to kick me out now?"

Ye Zhong didn't speak, but glanced at Jiang Chen and asked, "Dr. Han, how is Xingluo's recovery going?"

[Preventing anyone from accessing hidden benefits—Han Jiangchen, a capable assistant, is transferred away from your side!]

Almost as soon as he asked the question, the system immediately popped up a reminder.

"Not good!" Ye Xingluo quickly replied, "I'm still weak, so Dr. Han has to stay by my side every step of the way."

Just say what you want to say directly, don't beat around the bush. It's only right after the New Year, you might not be busy, but I am very busy.

Ye Zhongwei glared at him, saying with exasperation, "The old man went to great lengths for you, and you haven't improved at all!"

[At this moment, Ye Zhong's emotions are fluctuating, making it a good time to subtly probe and confirm your doubts. Please seize this opportunity.]

The opportunity to prove it has finally arrived!

Ye Xingluo's eyes lit up when she heard the system notification. Since returning to live here, she had been leaving early and returning late. Although she lived under the same roof as him, they rarely had the chance to meet.

He didn't have a good impression of himself, so it was hard to find an opportunity to confirm it. The system kept reassuring him to calm down.

Sure enough, the right time has finally come!

Ye Xingluo couldn't help but feel that he had become much more mature and stable since being resurrected and bound to the system. Although he didn't know why he had changed so much, the result was obviously very good.

In the past, after Dr. Han told him those suspicious points, he definitely wouldn't have been able to hold back, given his short temper.

Now, not only has he been able to remain calm and wait for the best opportunity, but he has also stayed by the suspect's side without showing any suspicion. Thinking about it, Ye Xingluo is a little impressed with herself.

"The way you're acting now, so furious, isn't that just because you didn't discipline your child when he was young, and now that he's grown up and is a good-for-nothing, you're trying to shirk responsibility?"

Ye Xinglu looked up at the other person, her eyes sparkling like stars. "Dad, why did you just abandon me abroad and ignore me after Mom passed away?"

Was all the affection you showed me when my mother was alive just a lie?

"You..." Ye Zhong hadn't expected his eldest son to suddenly steer the conversation this way. His face twitched slightly as he replied evasively, "Of course not, it was just back then..."

"Back then, you were busy trying to bring your illegitimate child home; you were also busy defying your grandparents' wishes to marry Yang Yingying, so you really didn't have time to pay attention to me, right?"

Mentioning the past only made Ye Zhong more confused.

So much happened this morning. First, his wife cried, saying she'd lost her intimate clothing; then it was found on Yang Qingwei's bed. With various clues and timelines intertwined, after sorting things out, the decision was made to kick their now-arrogant youngest son out…

Now his eldest son is bringing up the issue of how his father ignored him back then...

"After I graduated from university, I finally returned to China hoping to relive the father-son bond with you, but there was no longer a place for me by your side."

Ye Xinglu stared at his unpredictable face and coldly pressed him, "I have never written a note saying that I was under a lot of pressure and wanted to escape!"

From beginning to end, I have been trying my best to do everything well, so as to win back my father's favor from so many outsiders!

I have been studying and trying to prove to you that I am your biological son, that I have inherited all your talents, and that I am the child you should cherish the most!

But you've convinced me that I didn't just disappear, but rather rebelled and ran away.

Do you know what happened back then?

I was beaten bloody and dragged to an abandoned factory, where my body was almost destroyed!

Do you know who did it?

A series of questions caused Ye Zhong's expression to shift from gloomy to hesitant to astonished. "You...you disappeared because..."

“It was an attempted murder!” Ye Xingluo replied coldly.

But in my mind, I added: It was a successful murder! If it weren't for the unknown power of the system, I would have become a wandering ghost long ago. How could I possibly be sitting in front of you?

I am now a vengeful spirit who has crawled back from hell!

"Who did this? How could this be?" Ye Zhong clearly hadn't expected there to be a secret involved; he had always believed his eldest son had run away because he was incapable of handling the responsibility...

Ye Xinglu smiled coldly, "My grandparents don't believe I would desert my post. They've been trying to find me."

What about you?

As my biological father, the man who once cherished and protected me, you don't understand your own child at all!

You didn't intend to contact me, did you?

On one side is your gentle and loving wife and her sweet-talking and capable nephew; on the other side is the precious daughter you had with the woman you love.

I'm just an abandoned child left abroad, ignored and forgotten. Why should I look for me? To come back and fight with your most precious illegitimate child for the inheritance?

You'd love for me to die out there and never come back, wouldn't you?

"I... I sent you abroad because... because you always targeted Xingchen after you learned about him. They're both my children, I..."

Ye Zhong's emotions were clearly in complete disarray, and he was speaking incoherently.

"Both palms and backs of the hands are fleshy? Are you kidding me? Even so, the palms are still fleshy while the backs of the hands are thin!"

Ye Xingluo watched the system analysis progress bar advance rapidly, feeling a surge of pleasure. She continued her offensive, saying, "He's your illegitimate son! If I don't target him, am I supposed to hold hands with him and become friends?!"

Father, put yourself in my shoes. Do you know how my grandfather treated his illegitimate son?

Did you become friends with him?

They still sided with my grandmother, forcing her to hide her identity and not even dare to show her face!

No matter how much you praise him, Ye Xingchen is still your mistress's illegitimate child!
