Upstairs, Ye Shaohua is reading in her room, and the college entrance examination is just a month away.
After a long absence, 008 finally reappeared. According to itself, it had gone to upgrade. Seeing Ye Shaohua like this, it felt a deep pain in its heart and said, "Host, how can you still have the mood to read? Have you forgotten our pledge to complete the mission?"
As Ye Shaohua turned a page, her hand paused. It seemed that it had indeed been upgraded. "Don't be like this, Dad loves you."
Before 008 could finish its sentence, Ye Shaohua's phone on the table rang. The message from the bank showed that Ye Shaohua's 5 million reward had been deposited.
Upon seeing this message, 008's voice abruptly stopped, and then it quietly hid in Ye Shaohua's mind, feeling deeply ashamed of its actions.
In the following days, Ye Shaohua continued as usual, studying and reviewing for school. She had previously doubted whether Ye Ke had any intention of harming her.
During this time, Ye Shaohua finally noticed something was amiss. Ye Ke's eyes had been filled with hidden resentment and satisfaction, carrying a sense of world-weariness.
Suddenly, Ye Shaohua realized the one thing she had been unable to understand before: why Ye Ke had such a strong animosity towards the original host.
Now it was clear to her that in the original plot, Ye Ke had been reborn, which was why he had no feelings for the original host.
Ye Shaohua stroked her chin, realizing that she found the current Ye Ke uninteresting. This was going to be fun.
After being reborn, Ye Ke stopped going to school and insisted on participating in the company's affairs with Ye Father. He even took on several investment cases that others did not view favorably.
However, a few days later, the investment case that was not viewed favorably was acquired by the state, shocking the entire upper-class society of Ning City.
Ye Ke also provided a new software to the Ning City Laboratory. It was said that Professor Cheng made urgent calls to the higher-ups, and Ye Ke was even granted early admission to Peking University, becoming a member of the university's laboratory.
On the day of the college entrance examination, the Ye family was discussing important matters at home.
Once Ye Shaohua chose Class 2, they didn't pay much attention. With her grades, what could she achieve? Moreover, Ye Ke was now outstanding.
Ye Father had completely forgotten about his other daughter. His thoughts were now entirely focused on Ye Ke.
"What's the background of this Gu Jingyan? We've known the Fu family for so many years. Is this appropriate?" Mrs. Ye was somewhat conflicted, as she was biased towards the Fu family.
"The Gu family... Is it the Gu family from Beijing?" Ye Father suddenly asked.
Ye Ke nodded mysteriously, "Dad, do you want to be an ordinary businessman for the rest of your life, or do you want to move up?"
Ye Father hesitated, "But... the Fu family."
"When you agreed to the engagement, you didn't specify who it was. Isn't it perfect for Sister to come back?" Ye Ke smiled particularly gently.
"Shaohua, but... Will she agree?" Ye Father frowned. "What about the Fu family?"
"Let's just do it this way," Mrs. Ye firmly believed that it was a blessing for Ye Shaohua to marry into the Fu family. "She should be happy about it."
Moreover, she should be aware of her status as a dependent. How could this Ye Shaohua dare to resist?
"Isn't it inappropriate for the Fu family?" Ye Father still felt uneasy.
Ye Ke quickly took out a file folder, "Dad, I was just about to talk to you about this. Jia Chen has been involved with several female celebrities. Even without the Gu family, I wouldn't marry into the Fu family."
Seeing the file that Ye Ke took out, Ye Father and Mrs. Ye were furious, defending Ye Ke and tacitly agreeing to the idea of having Ye Shaohua replace Ye Ke.
Ye Father had never considered that it would be inappropriate for Ye Shaohua, who had not received the etiquette of a wealthy family, to marry into the Fu family. Letting Ye Ke marry into the Fu family was a compromise, but if it were Ye Shaohua, it would be seen as climbing up.
In his mind, ten thousand Ye Shaohuas could not compare to one Ye Ke.
Ye Father and Mrs. Ye took the photos and went to the Fu family, while Ye Ke waited for Ye Shaohua to return after the college entrance examination.
Ye Shaohua was chatting with the hackers on the forum. They were asking her to join the laboratory in Beijing.
Ye Shaohua closed the lid of her laptop, not responding, and began to pack her things.
"What are you doing?" Ye Ke was surprised to see Ye Shaohua packing.
"Moving out. After the college entrance examination, I'll be an adult and can move out to work and earn tuition fees." Ye Shaohua closed her bag and checked if she had missed anything.
"Moving out? Are you sure?" Ye Ke looked at her back, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Compared to having Ye Shaohua marry into the Fu family, she preferred Ye Shaohua moving out. After all, who knew if she would start learning Go again if she went to the Fu family. Dealing with her would be easier now. After all, there were so many unlucky people in the world.
"Sister, have you really thought it through? You have poor grades. How will you go to university after leaving the Ye family? Dad can still arrange a good university for you. You like Go, right? You can choose to study it again." Ye Ke asked repeatedly.
"You're still so young, yet you can find investments on your own and make money for the Ye family. I believe I can also make it on my own." Ye Shaohua picked up her bag and checked if she had missed anything.
Hearing Ye Shaohua's words, Ye Ke felt relieved. It was no wonder her choices were different from her previous life. That explained it.
"Sister, have you really thought it through? You don't want Dad to teach you Go?" Ye Ke asked again.
In her past life, Ye Shaohua's academic performance was not good, the only exception being her exceptional skill in the game of Go. If it weren't for the support of the Ye family and their abundant resources, she wouldn't have become a national Go player.
This time, without the help of the Ye family, let's see how Ye Shaohua performs in her university entrance exam!
Although she really wanted Ye Shaohua to leave immediately, Ye Ke still patiently asked Ye Shaohua three times if she really didn't want to study Go anymore. Only after confirming that Ye Shaohua truly didn't want to, did Ye Ke pretend to express regret and leave, saying, "Sister, don't worry, I will help persuade Dad for you."
After Ye Ke left Ye Shaohua's room, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes. She thought Ye Shaohua was so difficult to deal with, but now it seemed that she was not that formidable after all!
When Ye Shaohua couldn't make it outside and wanted to come back, the Ye family would already be under the control of Ye Ke.
Inside the room, a cold smile crossed Ye Shaohua's lips as she typed a message on the computer chat interface - "I'm in Ningcheng."
