Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Ye Family’s Meeting Gift

Elder Master Ye naturally understood how his younger brother felt. However, the incident had already occurred, and since Bingkun and his wife had only just found out, they couldn’t be blamed. Fortunately, the child had now been found.

Yunyi, of course, wasn’t foolish enough to open that box in front of so many people.

Afterward, the elder members of the family all presented her with gifts as a first-meeting gesture. Not to mention others, even Zhang Baoxiang from the Third House was compelled by Bingkun’s pointed looks to step forward and give Yunyi a thick red envelope.

Seeing her reluctant expression, Yunyi deftly accepted it and even flashed her a radiant smile, saying, ”Thank you, Auntie.”

This woman was truly something. Her own daughter and niece had been using the resources meant for the original owner of this body, and now she was here putting on a sullen face? Where did she get the nerve?

Naturally, everyone saw Zhang Baoxiang’s expression, but out of deference to the Second Elder of the Ye Family and Bingkun, they all pretended not to notice.

However, her mother’s behavior made Ye Wenyue feel quite ashamed.

Now that her household registration had been transferred back to the Third House, her biological father, Bingkun, had also stated that since Ye Wenjuan’s registration had already been moved, it would be impossible to transfer it back under his name in the future.

Yunyi had suggested keeping the family recognition ceremony low-key; she did not want to make it widely known.

But Elder Master Ye still had his own ideas. It was unknown whether he had informed his younger brother in advance, but on the day of the family recognition ceremony, he invited many old friends, thereby publicizing the matter.

This caused Zhang Baoxiang’s face to darken, but no one paid any mind to her feelings.

Elder Master Ye considered that while this might make the members of the Third House uncomfortable, Ye Wenyue was, after all, a child of the Ye Family. Even if she returned to the Third House, she wouldn’t suffer significant harm. Furthermore, it was crucial to publicize Ye Wenjuan’s true status to prevent her from causing trouble under the Ye Family’s name in the future.

Most importantly, he felt he owed his biological granddaughter a great deal. He didn’t want her to lack a sense of belonging within the Ye Family, nor did he want her to be harmed by malicious gossip from the outside world in the future.

Yunyi was indifferent to Elder Master Ye’s methods, but she was still slightly touched. After all, his actions showed he genuinely cared.

After the family recognition ceremony, Yunyi didn’t stay overnight at the Ye residence. Instead, she chose to return to the Chu Family, mainly because she found Xia Dongxue’s intense, eager gaze unbearable.

It had been agreed from the start that she would acknowledge the Ye family members but would not live with the Ye Family. Although the Ye Family felt somewhat regretful, they accepted her decision readily, as they had been mentally prepared for it.

Carrying a large bag back to the Chu Family, she finally took a careful look at the gifts the Ye Family had given her.

The Second House and Third House of the Ye Family, as well as her paternal aunt, all gave her red envelopes.

Her Ye Family parents gave her a red envelope. Xia Dongxue also privately gave her a small box from them, repeatedly urging her to keep it safe. They hadn’t hidden from her that the box contained ten ”little goldfish”—small gold ingots.

Her parents had hesitated for a long time before deciding to give these to her. Initially, they worried that such valuable items wouldn’t be safe with a young girl. However, they desperately wanted to show their sincerity. Considering she had the protection of the Gu and Hua Families, and deeply wishing to compensate their daughter, they ultimately decided to give them to her after much discussion.

Besides, with the Ye Family’s protection now added to the mix, they believed no one would dare to come looking for trouble with her.

Elder Master Ye also gifted her a set of jewelry. Inside the jewelry box, however, was also a property deed for a small quadrangle dwelling. The deed described it as having a main house with three rooms, three rooms in each of the east and west wings, and on the south side, a room on either side of the courtyard gate (excluding the space occupied by the gate itself).

Including this one, she now owned a total of seven properties of various sizes in Beijing. With these, I can lead a comfortable and carefree life even if I do nothing else!

As for whether this house was intended for all Ye Family descendants or was specific compensation for me, I couldn’t be bothered to ask. Since it was given, I’ll gladly keep it.
