Inside the condo…

Song Fengwan was holding the knife in her hand and cutting a carrot awkwardly. She glanced at the mother and daughter in the living room from the corner of her eye. After taking a closer look, she found that the woman’s eyes and eyebrows were somewhat similar to Yu Manxi’s.

Yu Manxi took out cups and tea leaves and made tea for them.

“Big Sister Yu…” Song Fengwan lowered her voice. “Should we inform…”

The moment the two of them entered the condo, the woman kept pointing at Yu Manxi, making her feel uncomfortable.

She was utterly condescending.

“No need.” Yu Manxi had never mentioned anything about her family to Fu Sinian, and she didn’t want him to know the truth under such circumstances.

“Alright.” Song Fengwan pursed her lips and didn’t say anything else.

Yu Manxi brought the tea out. “If there’s anything, just say it.”

“Thank you, Big Sister.” He Shiqing’s eyes were smiling as she elegantly picked up the cup and held it in her palm.

It was said that one shouldn’t slap a smiling person. Yu Manxi couldn’t treat her coldly, so she could only reluctantly respond.

“Big Sister, your home is really beautiful and cozy.”

“Thank you.” Yu Manxi sat on the single-seater sofa on the other side. Actually, when she had arrived at the He residence, He Shiqing had treated her very well. She had given her everything, including clothes.

Even after she went overseas, He Shiqing had secretly called her. But she couldn’t like this biological sister of hers, and she felt more at ease being with Song Fengwan.

“Why are you here this time?”

“Big Sister, why didn’t you contact the family when you returned to China? If not for the big news this time, we wouldn’t have known that you were back.” He Shiqing smiled lightly, and her voice was pleasant to the ear.

The kitchen in the condo Yu Manxi rented was semi-open, so Song Fengwan could see almost everything in the living room.

She sized up He Shiqing. She was elegant and calm, and even her sitting posture was carefully nurtured. Her manners were graceful, and it was obvious that she had received an excellent education.

“I also like watching the show you host at home. I even told Dad and Mom that this host looks like Big Sister…

“But you’ve changed so much, and you even changed your name. I really didn’t recognize you.

“But I still have to congratulate you on getting a boyfriend.”

Song Fengwan held the knife tightly and lowered her head to continue cutting carrots.?What’s wrong with this woman? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her words were full of hidden thorns. There was nothing wrong with them, but they made her feel uncomfortable. She was obviously not as kind and pure as she looked.

“Hah, you even changed your name!” Zou Li chuckled.

Yu Manxi slowly said, “Back then, you were the ones who said that I wasn’t worthy of the surname He. Didn’t I change my name as you wished?

“Even if I’m an embarrassment now, it has nothing to do with you, right?

“Look, after such a big incident happened, who knows that I’m from the He family?” Her tone was self-deprecating.

“You…” Zou Li gritted her teeth. She was about to say something when He Shiqing stopped her.

“Big Sister, it’s been more than ten years. Actually, Dad and Mom have missed you a lot all these years. Didn’t we specially come here this time to bring you home?

“How can there be overnight enmity between a family? Those words back then were all said in a moment of anger. When you were overseas for so many years, didn’t they transfer money to you?

“If we really don’t care about you, how could we have given you money and arranged schools for you to study in?”

Yu Manxi chuckled lightly. Back then, she had just returned from the countryside and didn’t know anything. When she arrived at the He residence, she was dumbfounded and let her younger sister lead her along.

If she had heard these words in the past, she might have really felt that she was going too far.

But listening to them now, she felt that there was something amiss.

“Big Sister, you said that you’re with Fu Sinian. How are you going to tell him about our family’s situation? Are you going to say that you’re an orphan?

“The capital is only so big, and the Fu family will definitely find out in the future.

“Besides, the Fu family is such a big family. Look at who the Fu family’s children have married. Their other half is either from a prestigious family or a scholarly family. Even if their family doesn’t say anything on the surface, will they really accept you in private?”

He Shiqing stopped speaking here.

Song Fengwan had been observing He Shiqing and increasingly felt that this woman was too formidable. Yu Manxi obviously didn’t want to go back, but the reason she gave was really irresistible.

He Shiqing had indeed mentioned Yu Manxi’s sore spot, but she didn’t say anything.

“When are you coming home?” Zou Li asked.

Yu Manxi gritted her teeth. “I’m not going back. Please go back.”

“You!” Zou Li clutched the bag in her hand tightly. “That’s your home. What do you want to do if you don’t go back? Live in this lousy place? Or do you disdain going back to the He family now that you’ve climbed up the social ladder?”

“It has nothing to do with the Fu family.” Yu Manxi’s tone was firm.

“You must come back with me today! How can you live outside alone? If word gets out, what will others think of our family?”

“It has nothing to do with me,” she said firmly.

“You’re really bold now. You even dare to talk back to me. You’ve been back in China for so long, yet you didn’t even step foot into our house. We supported you overseas for so many years, but we really raised an ingrate.”

Song Fengwan raised the knife and swung it down.?Bang!?The kitchen knife landed on the chopping board with a loud sound, scaring Zou Li so much that her body trembled.

What is this wretched girl doing in the kitchen? Why is she so loud? She obviously wanted to scare me.

Recalling how Song Fengwan had raised her knife to face her just now, she still felt a lingering fear.

If Song Fengwan had moved any faster, she might have cut her with the knife.

Zou Li took a deep breath. “If people find out that you’re from the He family in the future, they will think that we mistreated you.”

Yu Manxi stood up. Their eyes met, and they were very close. “So what if you take me back now? How are you going to tell the outside world?”

“What’s there to say? You’re my daughter. It’s only right for you to go home.” Zou Li smiled lightly.

“I can go home. Make a statement saying that I’m the eldest young lady of the He family and help me rectify my name. Also, I want everything that He Shiqing has!

He Shiqing didn’t move. But when she heard the words rectify, her eyes flashed for a moment.

“Everything?” Zou Li chuckled. “Your appetite is a little too big.”

“I’m only asking for equal treatment. Is this called having a big appetite?” Yu Manxi found it exceptionally funny when she heard this. “Don’t tell me you want to take me back because you saw me getting together with Fu Sinian?”

“Nonsense!”

The He family indeed had this idea. There were no eternal enemies in this world, only common interests.

Yu Manxi sneered. “Anyway, others think that the eldest daughter of the He family died long ago. Haven’t you always thought so too?”

Zou Li suddenly stood up, walked over, and slapped her.

Song Fengwan exerted force with her fingers, and the kitchen knife slammed onto the chopping board, scaring the mother and daughter in the living room into trembling again.

She immediately took out her phone and sent Fu Sinian a message.

“You’re too presumptuous! You have to come home with me today. What’s the point of staying here?!” Zou Li was about to go out to call her people in.

“Mom, let’s talk properly. Calm down.” He Shiqing immediately stopped her.

“You’re still speaking up for her. Listen to what this wretched girl is saying. What does she mean by saying that we treated her as dead?

“If we thought you were dead, why would we have brought you back in the past?

“Now that you’ve climbed up the social ladder and become independent, you look down on our family.”

…

Yu Manxi reached out to rub her face. “Didn’t you bring me back because you couldn’t hide it anymore?”

“…” Zou Li was furious.

***

Fu Sinian was watching a basketball game with Fu Chen when his phone vibrated. When he saw that it was Song Fengwan’s message, he was a little surprised.

[Come back quickly!]

Fu Sinian stood up from the sofa. Fu Chen frowned. “What’s wrong?”

“Something happened.” Fu Sinian pushed the door open and went out. He saw the two men in black standing at the door at a glance and knew that something was wrong.

Fu Sinian ran over, and one of them reached out to stop him. “Sir…” He obviously didn’t know Fu Sinian.

“He family?” Fu Sinian was suspicious.

“Yes,” the man answered affirmatively. Before Zou Li went in, she had asked them to stay outside, obviously not wanting to be disturbed. “Our madam is…”

“Move!” Fu Sinian’s tone was firm.

“We’re sorry. We…” It was their job, so they naturally had to stop him.

But Fu Sinian couldn’t wait anymore. He raised his hand and punched him, then reached out to press the door password.

“You…” When the person beside the first man in black saw that the situation wasn’t right, he immediately reached out to grab Fu Sinian. But he didn’t expect to be kicked.

He was caught off guard, and his back hit the wall before he could react. The man groaned and held his stomach as he looked at the person in front of him.

Fu Sinian turned his head and looked at the person beside him in surprise.

Fu Chen lowered his head and dusted his pants. “What are you waiting for? Go in.”

“Okay.” Fu Sinian pressed the last button, and the door opened.

Zou Li was about to go out and call her people when she almost bumped into Fu Sinian.

“Ah, this…” Zou Li had been frightened several times today, and her heart was pounding. She had even sprained her ankle earlier, and her ankle was still faintly aching.

“Mom!” He Shiqing had been following behind. She supported her mother and looked at the person in front of her.

Fu Sinian was tall and wearing a simple white shirt. His metal-framed glasses pressed against his high nose bridge, and his lips were extremely thin. His eyes were spotless, and his brows were deep but slightly cold.

At first glance, there was a cold murderous aura.

“You…” Zou Li clearly didn’t expect Fu Sinian to come over suddenly, and her heart trembled.

“Mrs. He, what’s the matter?”

Zou Li wanted to take Yu Manxi away forcefully. But now that Fu Sinian was here, she naturally didn’t dare to say this.

“Young Master Fu, what a coincidence.” Zou Li forced a smile from the corner of her lips. “Are you here to see my daughter?”

The moment Yu Manxi heard Fu Sinian’s voice, she hurriedly ran out with a flustered expression.

Fu Sinian’s gaze swept past her face. “Are you here to see her or to hit her?”

“…”

“Young Master Fu, it’s just a misunderstanding. We only wanted to bring Big Sister home for a meal,” He Shiqing said.

Fu Sinian narrowed his eyes at her. “I didn’t ask you. I’m talking to Mrs. He.”

He Shiqing and Fu Sinian had met a long time ago, but they had never spoken with each other. Although she had heard that he had a quiet personality and wasn’t good at socializing, she didn’t expect him not to give her any face at all.

“What’s wrong with me talking to my daughter for a while?” Zou Li was also shocked by Fu Sinian, but she couldn’t lose her composure and still put on airs.

“Are you done?”

“I…”

“Please!” Fu Sinian pointed at the door.

His tone was clearly saying: Get lost!

Zou Li turned around to look at Yu Manxi. She stomped her feet and walked out.

When the He mother and daughter left, the two He family members who had just been beaten were still squatting on the floor and groaning.

Zou Li gritted her teeth angrily.?These two useless pieces of trash can’t even guard the door.

Just as she was about to scold them angrily, she saw Fu Chen standing at the door from the corner of her eye and swallowed her words.

“Third Master Fu.” He Shiqing even greeted him.

Fu Chen lowered his eyes and went straight into the condo. Without showing them any good expression, he slammed the door shut with a bang, making He Shiqing feel snubbed.

“Why are you here?” Yu Manxi felt a little embarrassed when facing Fu Sinian.

Fu Sinian walked over, reached out to pinch her chin, and studied her face carefully. “You’re already like this. Aren’t you going to tell me?”

“I…”

Fu Chen pursed his lips. “I think the He family might come again. You can’t stay here for the time being. Miss Yu, why don’t you move to Sinian’s place? Even if the He family knows that you’re staying in the same place, they won’t dare to knock on the door and disturb you.”

“Huh?” Yu Manxi was stunned. She was in a dilemma about how to explain this to Fu Sinian when Fu Chen said directly that they should live together? “Actually, I…”

“Move in tonight,” Fu Sinian said bluntly.

Fu Chen took two steps in when he suddenly saw Song Fengwan holding a kitchen knife. His heart skipped a beat. “Wanwan, what are you doing?”

“Cutting carrots,” Song Fengwan said matter-of-factly.

From the corner of his eye, Fu Chen saw the carrots on the chopping board, and his lips twitched..?These carrot pieces are a little big.
