As for the three Ye Family brothers, Ye Lin, the eldest, is the successor of the Ye Family and doesn't care about these shares at all; Ye Sen, the second brother, is naturally indifferent, like an otherworldly fairy, and has his own career, so he naturally has no objections; as for Ye Miao... Ye Miao is naive and innocent, and even though he knows about this, he doesn't take it to heart.
So the matter passed by uneventfully, without any arguments, resentment, or any intrigue. This made 888 unable to help but exclaim that all ten gigabytes of wealthy and powerful family novels in its inventory were fake and completely unrealistic.
In short, Ye Mo now officially owns five percent of Ye Corporation's shares, and in a few months, he will be able to receive last year's dividends.
Ye Mo felt that the world was truly in full bloom and the sun was shining brightly.
"... Take over their conversation and let me hear it," Ye Mo said to 888.
As a state-of-the-art high-tech system, doing this is a piece of cake for 888, although using such a high-tech system for this might seem like a waste.
However, using such a high-tech system solely for gossiping would be a waste. Ye Mo felt that using it to eavesdrop was already a legitimate purpose.
After 888 connected, Ye Mo immediately heard the two people talking.
"... That five percent of the shares was put forward by my parents to compensate Ye Mo for the suffering she has endured over the years. It's what she deserves, so why should I have any objections?" Ye Miao said.
"Are you stupid?" Su Mo asked, slightly annoyed. "You're also your parents' child. You should have a share of those 5% shares... Your parents gave them to your sister, so you're losing 5%."
Ye Miao replied matter-of-factly, "I wasn't switched at birth, and I haven't suffered much hardship growing up, so why should I take this five percent of the shares?"
"..."
Ye Mo sensed that Su Mo might have been Ye Miao Miao's "idiot" behavior, and remained silent for a while.
After a long while, she finally said to Ye Miao, "Don't you think about yourself? Your parents only have so many shares. If they give some away, you'll get less. You'll be at a huge disadvantage!"
Ye Miao: "It's okay, my parents are different from yours, they won't let me suffer."
Su Mo: "..."
Ye Mo almost burst out laughing when he heard Ye Miao's words.
What do you mean by saying my parents are different from your parents...? At this moment, Ye Mo suddenly felt a little sorry for Su Mo. Being with Ye Miao must have caused her a lot of heartache.
To be fair, Su Mo's background wasn't bad. The Su Family was considered an upper-class family in City B, and they were quite wealthy. However, her parents were both having affairs and had a bunch of illegitimate children. Moreover, each of her parents had their own beloved illegitimate children, so they didn't care much about her, their legitimate child. Therefore, although Su Mo was the eldest daughter of the Su Family, she didn't actually receive much treatment.
Ye Mo suspected that the reason she got together with Ye Miao in the first place was because Ye Miao was from the Ye Family. After all, the Ye Family's family background was much better than the Su Family's, and thanks to Ye Miao as her boyfriend, her treatment in the Su Family had improved considerably.
"... Don't you think about yourself, or about our future children?"
While Ye Mo pondering these random thoughts, the atmosphere between Ye Miao and Su Mo turned sour. Su Mo glared at Ye Miao with exasperation and said:
"Your eldest brother inherited the Ye Corporation, and your second brother has his own business, making a fortune. Even your newly found sister has five percent of the company's shares, receiving tens of millions in dividends every year. And you? You have nothing. What are we supposed to do when we get married and have children?"
Seeing that she seemed angry, Ye Miao felt a little awkward and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, after we get married and have children, my parents won't abandon us!"
Su Mo: "..." Is this what she wanted to hear?
She took a deep breath, staring intently at Ye Miao, and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm pregnant, and it's your child!"
Ye Miao: "..."
Ye Mo, who was eavesdropping. "..."
--These siblings, who had a bad relationship, were shocked to find themselves in sync for the first time.
"You, you're pregnant?" Ye Miao stammered.
Su Mo nodded and said, "That's right, so for my sake and the child's, you also need to make changes."
Ye Miao was still reeling from the news that she was pregnant. Hearing this, she asked somewhat blankly, "What changes do I need to make? I think I'm perfectly fine as I am..."
Upon hearing this, a hint of impatience flashed in Su Mo's eyes, but she still patiently said, "For the sake of our child, you should also ask your parents for five percent of the shares. Your cheap sister has them, why shouldn't you?"
Ye Mo:... So, the problem stems from her five percent stake?
[...888, is Su Mo's child Ye Miao's?] She asked 888.
Although 888 hasn't answered yet, Ye Mo is inclined to believe that the child isn't Ye Miao's. After all, judging from Su Mo's interactions with Ye Miao, Su Mo seems to look down on Ye Miao Ye Miao and speaks very disparagingly of him when talking to him. It's just that Ye Miao, the lovestruck fool, hasn't noticed.
Besides Ye Miao, Su Mo had four other boyfriends. Ye Mo didn't believe that her relationships with those four men were purely platonic, based on spiritual connection. In fact, Su Mo was probably closer to those four men than Ye Miao, which might be related to her deep-seated disdain for Ye Miao —how could she be genuinely close to a man she looked down upon?
As expected, Ye Mo heard 888 reply: [This child isn't your third brother's.]
Ye Mo: As expected.
So, is Ye Miao suddenly a father?
[However, Su Mo didn't know whose child it was.] 888 added.
Ye Mo:?
888 said: [During that period, she had relationships with all five men she was dating!]
Ye Mo: [...]
Ye Mo didn't understand, Ye Mo was greatly surprised
Shocking.
[Can she handle it?] Ye Mo asked with a strange expression.
At this moment, Ye Mo felt that Su Mo's resentment towards her parents seemed somewhat unreasonable. After all, in a way, she and her parents were no different; they all played around with men (women) outside. Among the three of them, who was better than whom?
So, although she didn't know which of the five men was the father of the child, she had already decided to let Ye Miao be the scapegoat.
[Yes, host.]
[...]
Ye Mo knew she and Ye Miao didn't get along, but that didn't mean she would watch Ye Miao be cheated on and then tricked into becoming a father. The main problem was that Su Mo was always trying to fleece Ye Miao, and she was also eyeing her 5% share.
"... Meeting me was your misfortune, don't thank me too much." Ye Mo muttered, then had 888 send messages to Su Mo's other four boyfriends, asking them to "gather together" at this coffee shop.
How can Ye Miao and his group of five not be considered fate? After all, they all have the same girlfriend. This is truly a once-in-a-millennium fate.
***
Meanwhile, Su Mo was still hoping to use her unborn child to get Ye Miao to ask Ye Zhipeng and his wife for 5% of the shares.
"... Five percent is no good, but three percent should be alright, right?" She felt she had already conceded a step. "Your sister already has five percent, she's just a little girl, I don't know why your parents care about her so much!"
Ye Miao frowned. "Don't say that. Don't forget, you were a girl yourself."
Seeing his displeased expression, Su Mo realized she had been a bit too aggressive. She took a deep breath and smiled, "... I'm just standing up for you. We're all kids, why are you the only one suffering?"
