Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit

Chapter 373: Chapter 373: She is Ye Chongzun’s Granddaughter Chapter 373: Chapter 373: She is Ye Chongzun’s Granddaughter Wen Nianyou’s voice uncontrollably sharpened, “What kind of true lady is she? The Wen Family is out of money, bankrupt, even the villa is about to be taken away by the debt collectors! She is not even as good as I am. At least I’ve had over twenty years of noble education. Even if I am not a true lady, I am better than one!”

Qi Yunfan rarely swore, “You’re nothing close to a true lady, do you even know your own character? That innate pettiness in your bones cannot be concealed no matter how hard you try. It’s in your genetics. You were never meant to be a lady.”

“I’ve always felt a sense of dissonance about you, and now I finally understand where it comes from. You’re the living proof of the saying, ‘Even dressed in a dragon robe, one does not resemble the emperor!'”

“Oh, and one more thing, it looks like you don’t know yet, but the Wen Family may be bankrupt and without money, but the Ye Family has money!”

Wen Nianyou was stunned, “The Ye Family? Which Ye Family? What are you talking about?”

A mix of annoyance and mockery surfaced on Qi Yunfan’s face, “Lady Wen is the daughter of the Ye Family, and Chuyi is the personal granddaughter of Ye Chongzun, the chairman of Ye Group. Chuyi has been acknowledged by the Ye Family. I heard that Ye Chongzun is very fond of her, and he directly gave her fifty billion in corporate shares! The shares she holds now surpass those of all the other younger members of the Ye Family combined!”

A thunderbolt struck, and Wen Nianyou stood frozen in place, as if she had been struck by lightning, “Impossible, this can’t be possible! How could she be the daughter of the Ye Family? How could she be Ye Chongzun’s granddaughter!”

Qi Yunfan knew the two “she” she was referring to were not the same; he thought Wen Nianyou was truly foolish, “You’ve been Lady Wen’s daughter for so many years yet you didn’t know she is a member of the Ye Family. It seems like you’re no daughter to her at all; you never had her heart.”

He hated Wen Nianyou now more than ever. If she hadn’t meddled, he wouldn’t have broken up with Ye Chuyi.

If they hadn’t broken up, he could have climbed his way into the Ye Family by now—the real wealthy families with fortunes rivaling that of nations and connections beyond the ordinary imagination.

Joining the Ye Family, the Qi Family’s rise to prominence was just a matter of time!

Unfortunately, he missed the opportunity.

Now, seeing Wen Nianyou only brought him bad luck, “Hurry up and leave my villa, don’t stand around here like a beggar, you’re an eyesore!”

After speaking, he got out of the car, opened the door, then returned to the car and drove in with a press of the accelerator.

He drove too fast, splattering the mixture of rain and mud all over Wen Nianyou’s face and body.noveldrama

Wen Nianyou, as if in a trance, stood there repeating, “Impossible, how could it be that Ye Family, impossible!”

Lin Yueqin pulled at her arm, “Youyou, let’s go, we need to find a place to take shelter from the rain. You still have injuries on your head, and I am also injured, if we continue to get drenched, both of us might die.”

Wen Nianyou violently pushed her away, screaming shrilly, “It’s all your fault! You ruined everything for me! I should have been Ye Chongzun’s granddaughter, those fifty billion should have been mine!”

A bolt of lightning tore across the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.

With a clap of thunder, Lin Yueqin fell to the ground and saw her daughter’s face at that moment—fierce, twisted, ghastly, like a ghost eager to devour humans.

Is this really her daughter? She felt terrified and estranged.

She struggled to her feet, but to her shock, Wen Nianyou ruthlessly kicked her, sending her tumbling back into the muddy water.
