Reborn as a heiress, she transforms into a ruthless vengeful woman.

Chapter 184 Grandma Ye's Secret

Ye Xinghe's eyes shone brightly. "Originally, I didn't have one. But after you reminded me, the idea came to me!"

"Since it's a wicked idea, how about we stage a ghost story?"

Grandpa Ye chuckled, "Do you think your grandma, who deals with these things every day, would be afraid of ghosts? She's probably seen more ghosts in her life than you've seen cats and dogs."

“She’s not afraid because the ghost hasn’t harmed her yet.” Ye Xinghe winked mischievously. “It’s like the saying, ‘Once bitten by a snake, twice shy.’”

"If her body suddenly has a strange reaction, and the hospital can't find anything wrong with it, wouldn't she panic?"

Grandpa Ye waved his hand in refusal, "You make it sound so easy. What do you plan to do? Your grandmother is a very suspicious person by nature. She can see through your little tricks at a glance."

"Wait a moment, I have a strategist." Ye Xinghe took out her phone and called Qiao Lin to the study.

"Miss, please deduct my pay. I really can't think of anything." Qiao Lin looked at Ye Xinghe with dark circles under her eyes. She had been thinking about it all night after going back home, but she still couldn't come up with a solution.

Ye Xinghe ignored her words and asked with a smile, "Qiao Lin, do you have anything like that on hand that won't kill someone after they eat it, but will make them feel unwell all over, and preferably cause them to develop some kind of injury?"

Qiao Lin nodded slightly, "Yes. Qingjin Pill."

Ye Xinghe looked at Grandpa Ye triumphantly, "See? Grandpa! This is my Doraemon. It can have anything you want."

"I don't understand what you mean by 'Dream A' and 'Dream B'," Grandpa Ye said hesitantly. "Will there be any side effects after taking that stuff? How do I take it? Will anyone find out? How long will the effect last?"

Qiao Lin replied seriously, "Grandpa Ye, this medicine has no taste, but to make it effective, you must eat it with mushrooms."

"There will definitely be side effects. Because the young lady's request is all side effects."

"When people take this medicine, they will develop spots on their bodies that look like poisonous mushrooms whenever they are exposed to sunlight. These spots are neither painful nor itchy, and their location and color are random each time. They will disappear by night."

"However, if this person comes into contact with something extremely yin, these spots will become unbearably painful."

"This illness will persist as long as the antidote is not taken."

"This is it! This medicine is practically tailor-made for Grandma!" Ye Xinghe looked at Grandpa Ye excitedly. "I'll tell the kitchen to prepare some food right now, so you can take it to Grandma when you go to the hospital later."

Grandpa Ye remained stunned in his seat; Ye Xinghe's reaction was completely unexpected.

Ye Xinghe was more ruthless and decisive than he had imagined, acting without any hesitation, as if the person who would be drugged was not his grandmother at all.

Less than five minutes later, Ye Xinghe returned to the study.

"Grandpa, everything's arranged. One dish is stir-fried mushrooms, and the other is chicken stew with mushrooms. For the other dishes that don't have mushrooms, I've also told the kitchen to add some mushroom seasoning."

Grandpa Ye asked Qiao Lin to go out first. He stared at Ye Xinghe for a long time, thinking about how to start the conversation.

Ye Xinghe seemed to see through his thoughts and asked, "Grandpa, do you think I was too cruel to Grandma?"

Grandpa Ye did not speak.

"Does Grandpa not want me to do this?"

Grandpa Ye shook his head, but still didn't say anything.

Ye Xinghe frowned. "Grandpa, you can tell me whatever you want to say. I'll listen to you."

Grandpa Ye remained silent for two or three minutes before finally speaking, "Hehe, why do you hate your grandmother so much?"

Ye Xinghe stated frankly, "Because she was not good to me, and she was not good to my mother either."

"Furthermore, what she's doing isn't good for you either."

Seeing that Grandpa Ye remained silent, Ye Xinghe continued, "Grandpa, I don't know what you want to ask. But this matter is very simple for me. She is my grandmother, that's a fact I can't change."

"But did she fulfill her duties as a grandmother? Did she ever take care of me for even a day? Did she ever hold me even once? Did she ever buy me a doll?"

“She didn’t do any of those things; on the contrary, she often insulted me and my mother. To me, she’s even worse than a stranger on the street. Why can’t I hate her?”

Grandpa Ye sighed, as if he had made a great decision, and slowly said, "Grandpa is not blaming you. I support what you did today."

"Because she's not your biological grandmother at all."

Ye Xinghe showed no surprise, and was even a little happy. Because in her heart, she no longer regarded her as her grandmother.

"That's great!" Ye Xinghe said with a grin. "Otherwise, I would feel ashamed of myself for having her blood in my veins!"

"Isn't her second uncle the only one she has biologically?"

Grandpa Ye gave a soft "hmm," and said, "You should be able to tell that your grandma usually treats Xiaoshuang quite well."

"Even your father doesn't know about this. Your grandmother has been living in the Ye family since he and your aunt were very young."

Ye Xinghe asked softly, "What about my real grandmother?"

"She died after giving birth to your father."

Ye Xinghe asked in surprise, "Gone? Is he dead?"

Grandpa Ye shook his head, a deep sadness appearing in his eyes. "They've gone missing."

Ye Xinghe took Grandpa Ye's hand and said, "Grandpa, don't be sad. Although I am a girl, I will do my best to protect this family."

"Thank you for telling me this secret. It's really a good thing for me!"

"From now on, I won't show any mercy to the old lady. Just do as I say and cooperate with me."

Grandpa Ye instructed, "Hehe, you can't be too obvious right now."

“Your second uncle is like her; both of them are meticulous people. They will notice even the slightest change in you. They may be planning their next move right now.”

Ye Xinghe didn't care. "So what if they noticed? They're in the dark, I'm in the light."

"At worst, I'll expose everything they've done."

"If the police in Jiangyang won't do anything, I'll go to the capital! There will always be someone who can take care of them!"

"Absolutely not!" Old Master Ye said sternly. "As far as I know, people from the capital have also been sent down to investigate. We cannot act rashly and disrupt the plans set up above."

"If this plan succeeds, their organization will be completely disintegrated. If it fails, it will probably take several more years."

"However, no matter what the outcome, it's beyond our control."

The grandfather and grandson were talking quietly in the study when a knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
