Chapter 238: Chapter 233: The Second Daughter Born Out of Favor

"Is this called spending just a little more?" Ye Hai was enraged, "If you had cared about Ye Qiu like this from the beginning, she wouldn’t disown you."

"Do I care if she recognizes me?" Zhong Meifen retorted angrily, "I always said there was something wrong with her temperament. If you hadn’t been so enamored with her title as the top scorer in the science subjects, would you have insisted on acknowledging her as your own?"

"You... you’re being completely unreasonable." Ye Hai, feeling his intentions were exposed, became angrily embarrassed and turned to leave, but then he forcefully stopped himself. Ye Qiu didn’t grow up with them and there was no affection even after acknowledging her, so it didn’t matter if she didn’t recognize them. But that didn’t mean he didn’t care about Ye Xia’s high monthly expenses; his money was meant for his son’s future.

"From now on, you are not allowed to give Ye Xia so much for living expenses. I see other kids at university only get a little more than one thousand, the most you should give her is two thousand yuan. What’s the use of buying so many clothes? Isn’t this closet full of clothes enough? If I find out you’re giving her extra money secretly, then you can forget about managing the family’s finances."

After Ye Hai finished speaking, he slammed the door and left, not caring about the frustration and anger of the mother and daughter in the room after hearing his words.

"Mom..." Ye Xia was anxious. The five thousand yuan was already not enough, what could she do with just one or two thousand?

Zhong Meifen, however, gently closed her eyes: "Xiaxia, tell Mom the truth, did you really falsely accuse Ye Qiu back then?"

"Mom, how could you also not believe in me?" Ye Xia said aggrievedly.

"I’m just asking if you did it or not?" Zhong Meifen roared sternly.

"I..." Ye Xia, who had never seen her mom like this, stammered and couldn’t get the words out, her gaze shifty, avoiding eye contact.

Seeing this, Zhong Meifen heaved a heavy sigh: "It seems that it is true."

Zhong Meifen felt somewhat at a loss after learning the truth. Ye Xia was the daughter who had been by her side, lovingly raised from a young age; always beautiful and smart, she had been her pride. But she had never anticipated that this same daughter would one day wrong her own sister over a few thousand yuan.

Zhong Meifen instantly began to doubt herself. Could it be that she really made a mistake?

"Mom, it wasn’t on purpose, I truly didn’t mean it," Ye Xia wailed, grabbing Zhong Meifen’s sleeve. "I just had my eye on a dress and was afraid you and dad wouldn’t agree. You know how much Dad and Grandpa and Grandma favor boys over girls? But I never expected Ye Qiu to be so stubborn. I tried to find her, it was she who refused to come back. Mom, please forgive me, okay?"

Ye Xia cried pitifully, an image Zhong Meifen had never seen before, which immediately made her heart ache again.

One daughter had been brought up by her side with careful nurturing and thoughtfulness, while the other, raised in the countryside, was obstinate and peculiar. In truth, Zhong Meifen’s heart had already been biased.

Listening to her elder daughter desperately admitting her fault amidst tears, Zhong Meifen’s heart ached tremendously, and she started to blame Ye Qiu for her insensitivity. If Ye Qiu hadn’t been so stubborn, how could her father have driven her out? If only she had just acknowledged the issue back then, everything would have been fine. Now, she’s the reason everyone in the family is upset; truly an unlucky star. She should never have let her come to the city.

"It’s okay now, no harm done." Zhong Meifen gently patted her daughter’s head. "Mom forgives you, but you have to promise Mom that you will never do such a thing again."

"Mmhmm, I’ll listen to you, Mom, you’re the best." Hiding in her mother’s embrace, Ye Xia smiled triumphantly.

"Who else would I be good to if not to you?" Zhong Meifen smiled tenderly at her daughter, then sighed helplessly, "But your father has made himself clear; from now on, I can’t give you as much living allowance. You’ll have to be more economical, understand?"

"I got it." Ye Xia’s smile froze on her face as her hand quietly clenched into a fist.

What about being the best for her? What about pride?

All lies!

Ye Xia roared inwardly, aren’t they just like Dad, valuing boys over girls?

One week later, Ye Qiu successfully received her admission notice from Qing University. Uncle Liu kept his promise and treated the acquaintances in the community to a meal. The whole Ye Family became a joke, talked about behind their backs. The pointed stares were like thorns in the back, making Ye Dong, who was already troubled by rumors, even more irritable.

Being the only male grandson in the Ye Family, under his grandparents’ pampering, Ye Dong always knew everything at home was his. Ye Xia was still okay, at least she had Mom to protect her, but what right did Ye Qiu, someone who returned halfway, have to enjoy his money?

Therefore, Ye Dong didn’t like this second elder sister, Ye Qiu. Now, because of her, he had to endure everyone’s finger-pointing. Ye Dong was infuriated. If Ye Qiu wanted to leave, then leave, what did it have to do with him?

So, Ye Dong fiercely caused trouble at home for a few days, making the Ye Family’s impression of Ye Qiu even worse. To appease his son, Ye Hai never mentioned bringing Ye Qiu back again, and the family tacitly expelled Ye Qiu from the Ye Family just like before.

After all, Ye Qiu didn’t acknowledge them, so why should they warm up to her cold shoulder?

Isn’t she just a provincial top scorer? What future can a child who doesn’t recognize her parents have?

Besides, Ye Dong is so clever. He will definitely also be a top scorer in the future. Ye Hai has had enough of the mockery, so he was determined to win a provincial top scorer title for his son, and therefore he spent a high price for a tutor for his son.

Watching his son’s grades improve day by day, Ye Hai gradually regained his confidence and pride. What he didn’t know, though, was that his precious son spent quite a bit of "effort" to get the generous rewards from him at every test.

"Danhua, over here." Today is the registration day for Qing University, and Ye Qiu has been waiting at the station early.

"Didn’t they tell you not to pick me up? Why are you here so early?" He Danhua bought a sleeper ticket and arrived after sleeping on the overnight train, so it’s still quite early.

"Anyway, I’ve got nothing to do." Ye Qiu smiled, "There’s a campus bus over there, let’s take it back."

"Okay, have you registered yet?" He Danhua asked her, "Where have you been staying these days since you’ve been in the capital?"

"I haven’t registered yet, we’ll go together later. I’ve been staying at a hotel these days, wandering around."

"Do the Computer Science and Architecture departments register at the same place?"

"Shouldn’t be too far apart, I guess."

The senior students at Qing University had already noticed the two beauties heading their way, causing some commotion among the crowd.

As the top institution in Hua Country, Qing University was known for having more guys than girls and also recognized by the media for not having beauties. But this year, it seemed like the trend was about to change? Were they finally going to have beauties in Qing University?

Especially the one with short hair, fair and delicate skin, small and exquisite features, just the kind of delicate face that could only be nurtured by a water town. They were indeed in luck!

"Are you two freshmen this year? Which departments? Come on the bus and sit. We’ll head back to the school in ten minutes," the eager third-year student said warmly.

"Thank you, senior. I’m from the Computer Science department, my name is Ye Qiu. This is my companion, she’s from the Architecture department, her name is He Danhua," Ye Qiu introduced herself calmly, not arrogant due to the seniors’ eagerness.

"Hello, seniors," He Danhua greeted politely.

"Hello, hello," the group of big boys responded, stammering, completely taken aback by how easy-going Ye Qiu and He Danhua were. Aren’t all beauties supposed to be proud?
