The young girl no longer paid attention to Ye Shaohua, instead, she gazed with admiration at the “Sister Meng” she had mentioned.
While everyone was focused on Miss Meng, Ye Shaohua seemed to have been forgotten in a corner, with only a few people occasionally casting mocking and disdainful glances her way.
She took this opportunity to fully absorb the memories of the original owner of this body.
This was a different world, and the original owner was also named Ye Shaohua. In this world, there were no countries, only alliances and factions. Ye Shaohua had previously lived in a remote, backward area, almost like a primitive society.
Compared to the nobles of the alliance, she was indeed ignorant and uncouth. Unexpectedly, she had married Qiu Zifan, the sole heir of a prestigious medical family, which shocked the nobles of the alliance.
In reality, Qiu Zifan had married Ye Shaohua because her grandfather possessed a rare medicinal herb that the Qiu family desperately needed. Before her grandfather passed away, his dying wish was for Ye Shaohua to have a safe haven, and he believed that the Qiu family, being a renowned medical family, was a worthy place to entrust her life.
The Qiu family had not prepared a wedding ceremony, only announcing that Qiu Zifan had married. Although the Qiu family was a prestigious clan, none of them truly respected the original owner.
Qiu Zifan was also impatient with his ignorant wife. After the Qiu family announced their marriage, he never once returned to the place where Ye Shaohua lived. The Qiu family’s servants also disliked the original owner.
At this awkward moment, the talented Meng Yuchen appeared. Meng Yuchen, who could converse with Qiu Zifan and was highly capable, entered his heart like a spring rain.
In stark contrast, the original owner was an eyesore.
The original owner worked hard to learn and hoped to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Qiu Zifan. However, an unexpected incident occurred when someone collapsed in front of her. Without much thought, she tried to save the person, adhering to her professional ethics as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, but ended up causing more harm.
Fortunately, Meng Yuchen stepped in to save the day, or else the alliance would have lost another talented individual.
After this incident, Ye Shaohua was criticized by the entire Z Alliance, with people demanding she leave the alliance. Meng Yuchen even spoke up for her.
However, this only made the alliance members view Ye Shaohua as even more malicious. Eventually, it was revealed on the star network that she was a descendant of the Ye family, a military family. Many couldn’t understand how such a prestigious family could produce someone like her.
The Ye family’s young general was one of the people Meng Yuchen had saved. They refused to acknowledge Ye Shaohua as a member of the Ye family and believed she was obstructing Meng Yuchen’s happiness. They unanimously decided to exile Ye Shaohua outside the protected zone. Unfortunately, a rogue practitioner was on a killing spree outside the zone at that time, and she was accidentally caught in the crossfire, ending up dead without a complete body.
Sadly, neither the Ye family nor the Qiu family paid any attention to her, and no one claimed her remains. The alliance’s outer zone administrators sent her belongings to the incinerator along with the garbage.
The original owner didn’t understand what she had done wrong. After losing her grandfather and being thrust into a marriage with Qiu Zifan, she tried to adapt to her new identity and strive to fit into the Qiu family. But before she could achieve anything, she was branded as malicious and died without knowing why.
Ye Shaohua found herself in this world just as Meng Yuchen had saved the person she had almost killed. What followed was the scene where she was abandoned by everyone.
[She had two wishes: First, she felt she had failed her grandfather’s expectations and brought shame to him by not becoming his sole successor, so she hoped you could fulfill that wish. Second, she didn’t want to die so unjustly and without clarity.]
Ye Shaohua nodded, understanding the situation.
This world was strange, and the second task was even more peculiar. It was vaguely defined—what exactly did it mean to not die unjustly?
As she pondered this, she followed Meng Yuchen and the others out of the hospital.
Outside, a white car, understated yet luxurious, was parked. Standing by the car was a handsome young man in a white suit, standing out prominently in the crowd.
“Sorry, Zifan, I stole your job again,” Meng Yuchen said playfully, blinking at the man.
She had changed out of her doctor’s coat and was now wearing a light blue dress, exuding elegance while still maintaining a youthful freshness. She was incredibly eye-catching.
In contrast, Ye Shaohua was dressed in a somber black outfit, with a pair of large black-framed glasses that made her look dull and uninteresting. She had no youthful charm whatsoever.
Standing next to Meng Yuchen, no one noticed her.
Qiu Zifan didn’t notice Ye Shaohua at first either. He smiled at Meng Yuchen, “How could I blame you? I’m grateful that you could help me out.”
He was usually serious and composed in front of others, but when speaking to Meng Yuchen, he became lively and animated.
“Let’s go. Auntie Qiu has been waiting for a while,” Meng Yuchen said with a smile, then seemed to remember Ye Shaohua. “Oh, by the way, I didn’t see Miss Ye last time I visited the Qiu family estate. Miss Ye, are you coming with us?”
In truth, the Qiu family had forbidden Ye Shaohua from entering the Qiu family mansion.
Hearing this, the smiles on Qiu Zifan and Qiu Ziting’s faces instantly vanished. Qiu Ziting glared fiercely at Ye Shaohua, “Of course, this woman is coming back with us. She made such a huge mistake. If it weren’t for you, our family would have been dragged down by her. All the elders are waiting for her to return!”
Meng Yuchen patted Qiu Ziting’s shoulder, “Ziting, don’t be so harsh. Miss Ye just hasn’t had the opportunity to learn. She made a mistake, but it can be rectified.”
“Sister Meng, why are you defending someone like her?” Qiu Ziting pushed Meng Yuchen into the passenger seat.
Then she pulled Ye Shaohua into the back seat.
Qiu Zifan didn’t say a word. From beginning to end, he didn’t even glance at Ye Shaohua, let alone speak to her.
Ye Shaohua, hiding behind her black-framed glasses, lazily flipped through her phone. The only contact on it was Qiu Zifan, and there were no call records.
Only messages from the original owner to Qiu Zifan remained—good morning, good night, greetings, and even questions about medical techniques.
She had tried to learn about Qiu Zifan’s interests.
But Qiu Zifan had never replied.
She had sent over a hundred messages, and Qiu Zifan hadn’t responded to a single one.
Ye Shaohua sighed softly and turned off her phone.
In just thirty minutes, the car arrived at the Qiu family estate.
The car stopped at the main gate. The butler wasn’t surprised to see Meng Yuchen in the driver’s seat and greeted her with a smile. However, when he noticed Ye Shaohua in the back seat, his smile froze, and his expression turned cold.
“Miss Ye,” he said indifferently, his tone neither respectful nor polite.
No one in the estate addressed her as “Madam.”
Madam Qiu seemed to have heard that Meng Yuchen had arrived and was already waiting at the entrance. She warmly took Meng Yuchen’s hand and led her into the house.
Meng Yuchen was clearly a frequent visitor, as there were even special slippers prepared for her.
In contrast, Ye Shaohua was in an awkward position. Qiu Zifan and Qiu Ziting had their usual slippers, but she stood outside the door.
Since she had never been to the Qiu family mansion, there were no slippers for her. A servant glanced at her, then slowly went inside to fetch a pair of guest slippers and tossed them at her.
The slippers slid outside the door.
Ye Shaohua looked at the servant, who glared back at her with no respect whatsoever.
If it had been the original owner, she would have silently picked up the slippers and changed into them.
But Ye Shaohua wasn’t so patient. She shoved her hands into her pockets and walked straight in, leaving a trail of gray footprints on the expensive carpet.
The servant, who had been glaring at her, was stunned for a moment, then immediately regretted it. After all, it was the servants who would have to clean the footprints, not Ye Shaohua!
Ye Shaohua paid no attention to the servant’s thoughts and headed straight for the main hall.
Madam Qiu was holding Meng Yuchen’s hand, her face filled with regret. “You and Zifan went to the same school, and you’re so outstanding. I always thought you would become part of our family. Who would have thought… sigh.”
Other members of the Qiu family were also in the hall.
Old Master Qiu saw Ye Shaohua enter and frowned deeply, his voice filled with anger, “You came back just in time. Pack your things. You and Zifan are getting a divorce. Leave now. We don’t want a daughter-in-law like you!”
