Later, she met Ye Yongxian and Liu Lingyu.
They had come to see a doctor. Liu Lingyu had difficulty conceiving, but they longed for a child of their own. They had visited many hospitals with no success.
Liu Lingyu heard the cries of a baby and picked her up.
Ye Yongxian, unwilling to see Liu Lingyu suffer further by taking medication to conceive, adopted her and raised her as their own daughter.
Regrettably, as an infant transmigrator, she lacked her pre-transmigration memories.
Two years later, they found Ye Qinya.
Although Ye Zhi had no memories of her past life, she felt an inexplicable anxiety that the Ye family would suffer greatly because of Ye Qinya in the future.
As Ye Qinya grew, Ye Zhi tried to guide her, to teach her well, and to steer her away from her romantic fixations.
Alas, Ye Qinya always adopted an attitude of "You're only two years older than me, why do you get to control me?" and would always go to her parents to act cute.
Ye Yongxian and Liu Lingyu never took it seriously, viewing it as mere childish squabbles. They would placate them, buying them toys and gifts, rather than addressing the core issues.
As Ye Zhi's futile attempts continued, Ye Yuze was born.
This was an unexpected joy for Ye Yongxian and Liu Lingyu. They had already resigned themselves to not having biological children, but then, when they least expected it, a child arrived.
Although Ye Zhi was happy for them, Ye Yuze was incredibly attached to his older sister!
Besides trying to reform Ye Qinya, Ye Zhi had a new activity: "disciplining" her younger brother.
This continued until she was fourteen, when Ye Zhi finally gave up.
Ye Qinya disliked her sister, feeling that Ye Zhi was always controlling her, unlike their parents who indulged and doted on her, revolving their lives around her.
Not only did Ye Qinya not return to a better path, but their sisterly bond had deteriorated to the point of estrangement.
Furthermore, Ye Zhi no longer had the patience to continue investing in Ye Qinya. She felt that if things continued this way, the entire family was doomed.
Thus, with considerable effort, Ye Zhi managed to convince Ye Yongxian and Liu Lingyu to allow her to study abroad.
During her decade abroad, she absorbed knowledge like a sponge, every moment of every day. She felt an inexplicable sense of urgency, as if an invisible countdown hung over her head. She had to strengthen herself as quickly as possible, so that she would have the power to protect her entire family!
Ten years later, having completed her studies, she boarded a plane back home. Unfortunately, the flight was struck by lightning mid-air.
It was then that a switch in her deep memories seemed to flip. She fainted, and upon waking, the memories of the past twenty-odd years became hazy, while the memories of her previous life became exceptionally clear.
Ye Zhi came back to her senses and sighed softly.
She understood everything now.
Her transmigration to this world wasn't because of Ye Qinya, but because of the Ye family.
Ye Qinya didn't need her to save her, because Ye Qinya had always wanted Ouyang Minghan's love.
It was the Ye family who needed her, Ye Yongxian and Liu Lingyu needed her, Ye Yuze needed her, Qin Yuhan needed her, and those who were sacrificed for Ye Qinya and Ouyang Minghan's love needed someone to change everything.
Therefore, she, as a variable, had arrived here.
She hadn't arrived in this world with her memories intact because twenty-four years was enough time for any memory to become distant and blurred.
And at the airport, the memories of this life were sealed, preventing her from being swayed by the Ye family's affection and making misjudgments due to over-reliance, thus ensuring her clarity and rationality.
This was the world's favor towards her.
In her previous life, she possessed abundant theoretical knowledge. In this life, she had ample practical experience. It was precisely because of this that she had the ability to successfully change the Ye family's fate and save them.
She finally understood why she had felt sad due to her parents' favoritism. Because she was indeed their daughter, Ye Zhi, and their interactions were real, their feelings genuine.
Liu Lingyu, with tear-streaked cheeks, said, "Qinya, what you're saying is truly heartless. While your sister was abroad for ten years, your father and I gave you all the love that should have been hers! Even after your sister returned, we still habitually overlooked her, instinctively sided with you in everything, and always thought of you. How can you say this..."
"Don't try to lie to me anymore," Ye Qinya bit her lip. "The fact is, Ye Zhi has everything, and I have nothing. If you truly love me that much, why don't you give me the Ye Corporation?"
"Ye Qinya!" Ye Yongxian's face turned ashen. "Have you lost your conscience?! From the time you started university, I took you to the Ye Corporation, intending to groom you as the heir. But you? You only thought about going out with your friends and refused to stay in the company!
You said you had no interest and asked me not to push you. Because of this, we argued several times. You always charmed your way out of it with flattery. Do you think I truly didn't want to train you?"
Ye Qinya faltered. She wanted to argue but didn't know what to say.
"Furthermore, we didn't object to you being with Ouyang Minghan! I didn't like Ouyang Minghan, I thought he had wicked intentions, but you liked him, you praised him constantly. For your happiness, didn't we accept him?
Later, when you wanted the Ye Corporation to cooperate with his company, why do you think I agreed to cooperate with an internet company? It was all for you!
So that when you eventually married him, you would have a harmonious marriage and he would treat you well!
But you, you invited a wolf into the house. Ouyang Minghan repeatedly tried to harm the Ye Corporation, yet you kept clinging to him, insisting on being with him!
What, in your eyes, does it take for me to truly love you, if not for me to hand over the Ye Corporation to the man you chose?!"
Listening to Ye Yongxian's stern reprimand, Ye Qinya became furious. "That's because you owe him!"
"You, you..." Ye Yongxian was so enraged he almost choked. "You're simply unreasonable!"
"It's you who owe him!" Ye Qinya's eyes reddened as she said resentfully, "You killed his parents, that's why he's doing this, to take revenge on the Ye family!"
"What..." Ye Yongxian looked utterly bewildered.
"The calamities I've suffered were all brought upon me by you!" Ye Qinya accused with grievance. "I'm not even part of the Ye family, I have nothing to do with your grudges, yet I endured all his revenge for you!
I endured his torment for so long for you, but what about you? You never cared if I lived or died, you never came to save me!"
Ye Yuze, who had been in a daze from the overwhelming information, heard this and could no longer tolerate it. "Ye Qinya! Did the Ye family not save you, or did you refuse to leave Ouyang Minghan?!"
