Chapter 91 – Even Elders Get Face-Slapped (Part Two)

“Young Emperor.”

Steward Zeng came out to greet them, instinctively glancing at Ye Yunxi before his eyes lit up.

Though it was the same Miss from last time, her school uniform had been replaced with a dress, and her entire demeanor had transformed into one of elegance and nobility. Standing beside the Young Emperor, the two appeared unexpectedly well-matched.

“The master is already waiting inside.”

As they were led inside, Di Wei, seated on the sofa, glanced over at the commotion.

The petite young woman wore a luxurious dress that perfectly showcased her exquisite figure. Her attitude was neither subservient nor arrogant, devoid of the flattery and affectation of previous young ladies, as well as excessive pride and conceit. One could say she was as calm as water, yet also dignified and graceful.

Di Wei was somewhat surprised. Could a person’s demeanor change so dramatically in just a few days?

At first glance, she did seem worthy of Di Junxie.

But this was only surface-level. Wasn’t she still just a common-born young lady at heart?

“Little girl, even if Junxie likes you, I don’t think you can enter this household. You’re not worthy of my grandson.”

Ye Yunxi raised an eyebrow.

Last time, he was at least somewhat subtle. This time, he’s being so direct??

Although her relationship with Di Junxie was merely contractual, she genuinely disliked this attitude.

Ye Yunxi smiled. “Then may I ask, what would make me worthy?”

Di Wei thought for a moment. Did this even need to be asked? Your background alone disqualifies you!

“I heard you were removed from the heir position and expelled from the Main Family Residence. That means you’re incompetent and unworthy of my Junxie!”

Ye Yunxi curled her lips. “Is that so? Old Master, your information might be somewhat outdated. At yesterday’s Ye Family banquet, the new heir happened to be me, Ye Yunxi!”

[Ding! Prestige +10!]

“What!”

Di Wei was stunned.

This girl had reclaimed the Ye Family heir position?

Just yesterday?!

Who provided him with this information?!

Making him lose so much face!!

The old master’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he still insisted, “Th-this doesn’t count. Anyway, your academic performance is also poor. The gap between you two is too large – you’re not compatible!”

“So that’s what you’re worried about, Old Master.”

Ye Yunxi played with her long hair, smiling. “You needn’t worry about that either. I just achieved the highest score in Junyao Academy’s entrance exam – the best results in its history. I believe such achievements are rare even in our Di Family, aren’t they?”

Ye Yunxi smiled with confidence and brilliance, not overshadowed even when facing the head of the Di Family!

[Ding! Prestige +10!]

Di Wei felt liver pain from frustration. The Di Family intelligence officer clearly needed replacement!

What kind of outdated intelligence was being delivered to him?!

Causing him to lose so much face!!

Di Wei was too choked up to speak, as he couldn’t find any faults to pick!

This girl now had both status and capability – what more could he say?!

He felt inexplicably aggrieved!

Did they expect him to acknowledge her just like that?

Not a chance!!

Di Wei shot Steward Zeng a look, and Steward Zeng said, “Master, lunch is ready.”

“Then let’s eat. Since you’re so capable, girl, join us for lunch!” Di Wei smiled with a stiff expression.

Ye Yunxi smiled, her intuition telling her that this old master would definitely find fault during the meal.

Sure enough, as soon as they reached the dining table, Ye Yunxi knew what he intended to do.

The table was filled with premium ingredients, all designed to test her.Crabs, with their shells, leave your hands smelling fishy if you’re not careful.

Whole fish, full of tiny bones—just spitting them out is the ultimate challenge!

Chicken wishbone has so little meat and can’t even be eaten with your hands. Are we supposed to use a knife and fork and carve until the end of time?!

This whole table of dishes is truly a thoughtful arrangement!

Ye Yunxi narrowed her eyes and smiled.
