Chapter 81 – Battle of the Heirs (Part Four)

Soon, sighs of admiration turned into scornful remarks.

“Hah, dressed so glamorously. This family must be starving after spending on that outfit!”

“Just showing off their poverty! Only thinking about making themselves look good! Without considering whether they can actually afford it!”

“Tch, the poor sure know how to make a scene!”

Amid the discussions, Ye Junpo felt somewhat insecure and uncomfortable all over, especially in these clothes that pricked his skin terribly.

“Dad, ignore the barking dogs around us. Let’s go greet Grandfather.”

Seeing Ye Jianxing, Ye Junpo’s expression worsened, but pulled by his daughter, he could only mutter, “Dad.”

Ye Jianxing gave him a deep, inscrutable look, his eyes unfathomable, revealing neither joy nor anger. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

“Hmm.”

The old man nodded briefly, making the people around them even more contemptuous.

Truly an unfavored son!

“Master, Ye Junlai has arrived with Miss Wanting.”

“Oh, Wanting can walk now?”

Ye Jianxing perked up, rising from his chair and heading toward the entrance.

The clear favoritism made many spectators wear expressions of amusement.

“Look, even the biological son gets no respect. Useless, just useless!”

“No matter how glamorously dressed, he’s still overlooked by his own father!”

“If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t come. What a disgrace! Clearly the main lineage, yet outmaneuvered by a branch family—so incompetent that the heir had to be replaced. Coming back is just humiliating!”

“Exactly, and dressed like a clown!”

Ye Junpo grew increasingly uncomfortable.

“Yunxi, let’s leave!”

He truly had no desire to stay here any longer!

And he hadn’t wanted to come in the first place!

“Dad, stay calm.”

Ye Yunxi smiled faintly, completely ignoring these people.

“Today, I’ll make sure you walk out of here with your head held high.”

Head held high?

Yunxi, what are you planning?

Just as he was puzzled, Ye Wanting entered accompanying the old master.

She still walked with a slight limp, but her face bore a gentle smile. The beautiful evening gown she wore outlined her figure, making her radiant and captivating, as if she were the princess of the entire event.

However, when her eyes fell upon Ye Yunxi, they darkened slightly.

Wasn’t that the dress she had wanted to buy but was told had already been sold?!

And it was actually bought by this good-for-nothing?

Could she afford it? That dress cost over six figures!

[Ding! Prestige +10!]

Jealousy earned Ye Yunxi an extra ten points of Prestige. She looked over with a faint, ambiguous smile, making Ye Wanting even more resentful!

Not only did this waste snatch first place in the Jun Yao exam, but she even stole the dress Ye Wanting had her eyes on!

But it didn’t matter. Today’s winner would definitely be her, Ye Wanting!!

The heir of the Ye Family could only be Ye Wanting!

Helping Ye Jianxing to his seat, Ye Wanting stood by his side like the lady of the house, as if she were the true granddaughter.

No one objected, as it was widely understood that the heir to be announced today would undoubtedly be Ye Wanting!

“Since everyone is here, I have an announcement to make.”

Hearing the old master speak, everyone became alert.

Was he about to announce the heir?

Many glanced mockingly at the Ye Yunxi family, dressed in their finery, and chuckled softly.

“Dressing like that is just asking to be laughed at!”

“Right, there’s no way the heir position could be theirs. What’s the point of wearing such expensive outfits?””Clownish buffoon!”

Amid the clamor, Ye Jianxing declared: “The Ye Family’s new generation Heir is…”
