Chapter 1161 - 1150: When the Daughter Is the Supporting Character and the Sister Is the Protagonist
Ye Yun took the initial funds Ye Changfeng gave her and opened up her ambitious dreams. Her business development was very successful, possessing the necessary capital, connections, and foresight, and she was venturing into the future’s most lucrative online gaming industry.
In the eyes of others, she was a rising business genius. How many sons and daughters have stumbled here? How many people lost everything?
But at a young age, she not only made money but quickly established herself. Though not unique among wealthy heirs, she was extremely dazzling, becoming the child talked about by the adults.
And in the eyes of that group of young heirs, her status had risen, and many even looked up to her.
Yet Ye Yun herself was somewhat dissatisfied. Although the company had started successfully, it was far from her expectations. The company’s profits didn’t even compare to one subsidiary of the Ye Group. How could she compete with her older sister? Wouldn’t she always be a step behind her sister?
Not only her sister, but also Xiao Shu, she was the elder, her intelligence was far superior to Xiao Shu’s. In the future, when Xiao Shu inherited the group, her position will still be higher than Ye Yun’s.
Ye Yun knew her mindset was wrong, but she couldn’t control her jealous heart. Why was there such a big difference when they all had the surname Ye? Just because her mom was a stepmother?
"Why are you unhappy again? Didn’t your dad say your company’s development is going well recently?" Mei Chunli asked her daughter worriedly.
"Nothing," Ye Yun sighed dejectedly, "it’s just that the company’s development doesn’t quite match my expectations."
"It’s already good enough, your dad praised you nicely the other day!" Mei Chunli said proudly, increasingly believing her choice was right back then, grateful that her daughter’s talent wasn’t buried.
"But no matter how good the development is, it’s just a gaming company, how can it compare to the Ye Group inherited by my sister?" Ye Yun’s tone carried sorrow, "I thought if I developed on my own, others would take me seriously. Unexpectedly, everyone says I’m worthy of being my sister’s sister, with the same business acumen. Am I destined to live under her shadow all my life?"
"Why would it be? Your company is just starting to develop, with time everyone will see your true talent, haven’t they gradually started to recognize you now?" Mei Chunli patiently comforted.
Ye Yun still couldn’t lift her spirit, feeling utterly down: "But my sister is always the most outstanding one. If I succeed, people will say I’m worthy of being my sister’s sister, not letting down her guidance. If I fail, people will say I’m young, still not as good as the rightful heir."
Mei Chunli felt heartache hearing this: "They really say that?"
"Would I lie to you? Okay, Mom, I have business to attend to, you go out first." Ye Yun said wearily.
"Alright, Mom won’t bother you, but no matter how busy the company is, you must remember to rest, okay?"
Ye Yun absentmindedly replied: "I know."
Looking at the closed door, Mei Chunli sighed deeply. How could she want to see her daughter work so hard? But thinking of her daughter’s dream, she couldn’t bring herself to say give up, only blaming herself for being useless, unable to provide any help to her daughter.
"Aunt Mei, why are you standing here?" Ye Qiu passed by carrying fruits and greeted with a smile.
"Oh, nothing, just came to check on Xiao Yun, she’s been working very hard recently." Mei Chunli adjusted her expression, no longer as cautious as before in front of Ye Qiu.
"Hard work is inevitable, but her hard work is worthwhile, everyone is very optimistic about her company." Ye Qiu affirmed in praise.
Mei Chunli felt joyous inside: "Really? Xiaoqiu, you also think your sister has done very well?"
"Of course," Ye Qiu nodded in affirmation, reassuring Aunt Mei even more, she continued, "If it were me starting a company at my little sister’s age back then, I might not have done as well as she did!"
But although these words made Mei Chunli happy, she felt a sense of discomfort. Yes, even the stepdaughter said so, showing that her Ye Yun was genuinely excellent, possibly even better than the stepdaughter.
Yet just because her daughter came from her womb, just because her daughter was born twenty years later, she must live under the shadow of the stepdaughter, why?
"Aunt Mei, don’t worry about Xiao Yun, entrepreneurship is always hard, just make her some supplemental soup, and have her rest early!"
Watching the stepdaughter leave, Mei Chunli felt increasingly upset, as if there was a gas stuck in her chest.
Why did all the good things go to the stepdaughter? Her daughter had to work hard to start a business, while the stepdaughter relaxed comfortably, never seen busy with anything, but both were the husband’s daughters, why was there such a gap?
She failed to consider that Ye Qiu was so relaxed because she was capable and good at utilizing people, not needing to personally handle everything.
But sometimes, some people are so tunnel-visioned that they never realize this.
Day by day, Ye Yun grew busier to prove herself. Her company not only developed games but also began exploring the entertainment industry. Although she didn’t do anything significant in her past life, she remembered well what happened in the entertainment industry, including which celebrities, TV shows, and movies would become popular.
She was like a gold-finger in the entertainment circle; whatever actors she signed or movies she invested in would explode, her fame grew even more; meanwhile, Ye Qiu finally became suspicious of this cheap sister.
One reason was that in the previous life, Ye Yun did not start her own business, and even if one were formidable, Ye Qiu didn’t believe anyone’s judgment would be this good.
Moreover, as a company boss, there’s no reason to personally discover a small star, is there?
An increasing number of signs made Ye Qiu certain that her sister was either reborn or had been crossed over with future memories.
She leaned towards rebirth, but couldn’t understand when this sister was reborn. She seemed capable enough to deceive her for so long.
Did she have anything to do with herself and her daughter’s murder in the last life?
Ye Qiu began to pay unprecedented attention to Ye Yun, but after months of observation, she found that Ye Yun indeed had no intention of hurting her. She just seemed dissatisfied and a bit jealous in her usual demeanor.
These emotions were normal and not enough to motivate criminal acts. If that’s the case, who else could it be? Who else would hate enough to kill her, leaving not a chance for her daughter?
Although she ruled out her sister’s suspicion, Ye Qiu remained vigilant. The closer the time to the previous life’s murder approached, the calmer and composed she became.
