The sister who was away from home returns

"I heard that the second young lady of the Su family is back!"

This piece of news spread like a bomb among the servants of the Su family. No one had expected that the Su family, the head of the four noble families, would have a daughter who was living away from home. As soon as she returned, the haggard younger sister formed a sharp contrast with the pampered older sister, which made people sigh.

Su Yanxi, the elder sister of the protagonist of the story, is now sitting on the beige leather sofa in her own magnificent living room, curiously watching her younger sister who is living away from home being held in the arms of her parents and being cared for by them.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back! From now on, you should change your name to Su Cheng, and we will call you Chengcheng, okay?" Su's mother asked cautiously.

"Okay, Mom." Su Cheng answered in a low voice. His timid look made his mother feel distressed.

"Good boy, this is your sister, Xixi, this is your younger sister. You must take good care of her in the future." Su's mother introduced.

"Sister." Su Cheng glanced at Su Yanxi quickly.

Su Yanxi was wearing a well-cut beige dress, spotless boots, and luxurious yet ordinary pearl earrings. Her soft brown curly hair was adorned with a fashionable mecha-shaped hairpin, and she looked playful and dignified.

After just one look, Su Cheng felt as if his eyes were stabbed. He quickly lowered his head and looked at his toes.

"Hello, sister, you can come to me if you have any problems in the future. You're welcome." Su Yanxi smiled brightly, revealing her cute little fangs. Seeing that Su Cheng was a little uncomfortable with the new environment, she took the initiative to reach out and hold her hand hanging by her side.

"Ah!" Su Yanxi exclaimed.

Su Yanxi was scratched by Su Cheng's rough fingers. She didn't expect that the calluses on Su Cheng's hands were so heavy.

She put her bleeding finger in her mouth. After a while, the blood on her fingertip stopped, leaving only a barely noticeable fine line.

Looking at the bright red on Su Yanxi's white fingertips, Su Cheng stood there at a loss, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, don't hit me..."

Su's mother didn't know what was going on. She felt Su Cheng shaking violently, so she hugged her tightly.

Su Cheng's overreaction scared Su Yanxi.

"Eh?" She hurriedly explained, even more panicked than Su Cheng, "It's okay, I won't hit you!"

"Su Yanxi! What are you doing?! My sister just came back! Why are you scaring her?" Father Su grabbed his eldest daughter's hand and pushed her away.

Su Yanxi felt her arm bruise from being pinched. It was a little unbelievable that her parents, who once loved her, could be so rude to her. They rarely yelled at her, always speaking softly. Now, this treatment was being given to her sister who was living away from home.

Although the return of relatives is a happy thing, Su Yanxi does not feel very comfortable.

"I didn't scare her!"

Unfortunately, no one listened to her explanation. Everyone gathered around Su Cheng to comfort her. Su Yanxi heard her mother say, "Your sister is just too delicate. It's just a small cut. It's okay! It's not your fault. This is your home. No one will bully you anymore..."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Su Cheng looked at Su Yanxi with tears on his face. His pitiful look made Su Yanxi feel that he had really done something that was hated by God and man.

"It's all my fault. My sister got hurt as soon as I came back."

"Sister, can you forgive me?"

Originally, for Su Yanxi, a cut on her finger was an accident, a very small matter, but Su Cheng's loss of composure pushed her to the opposite side, as if it was her fault. Not only did everyone blame her, but now they inexplicably asked for her forgiveness.

She couldn't bring herself to say "It doesn't matter".

Everyone looked at Su Yanxi, waiting for her response. Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Su Cheng began to sob softly. Father Su lost his temper and said:

"Su Yanxi, don't be so stingy! Your wound will heal soon!"

"Dad, don't blame my sister, it's my fault..."

Listening to Su Cheng's delicate voice, Su Yanxi took a deep breath and said lightly: "It's okay."

Under Su Cheng's unblinking gaze, she pulled up the corners of her mouth to reveal an industrial smile.

"I have classes tomorrow, I'm going to sleep first." Su Yanxi yawned and waved slightly, "See you tomorrow."

After looking at Su Cheng with a red nose, Su Yanxi ran away quickly.

She felt that she and this sister had a different aura. It was obvious that this sister had a hard life outside. She was very weak, and the clothes she wore were not only patched but also too short. Her skin was very rough, and her hands were covered with scars. It was obvious that she was a person who had suffered, but what she said was really infuriating.

"Do we have to go to school tomorrow even though it's the weekend?"

Su Yanxi, who was already jogging up the stairs, heard Su Cheng ask this.

"Ignore her! We've spoiled her!" said Su's father. "She's becoming more and more out of character!"

Su Yanxi ran into the room, covered herself with the quilt, and whispered: "I spoiled myself, who can I blame?"

The next day, Su Yanxi woke up and found that her villa was bustling with lights and decorations, as if it were a festival.

She stopped a familiar servant and asked, "Aunt Zhang, are you hosting a banquet?"

"Yes, Miss, don't you know? The head of the family arranged to hold a dinner for the second young lady's return today, and by the way, test her mental strength at the dinner."

Su Yanxi said "Oh" in an ambiguous tone.

"Well...Miss, I'll go get busy first." Aunt Zhang pointed to the kitchen embarrassedly.

"Wait, where did they go?" Su Yanxi walked around the villa but couldn't find her parents and step-sister.

"Didn't the Madam tell you?" Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, then realized she had said the wrong thing and explained, "The Madam took the Second Miss to buy some clothes, and the head of the family went to inspect the affiliated star."

"Okay, I understand. Go ahead and get busy."

Servants came and went around Su Yanxi, and whenever they passed by, they would greet her and say "Hello, Miss".

She was obviously the eldest daughter of the Su family, but she inexplicably felt like she was being excluded.

Before the dinner, Su's mother and Su Cheng came back from scouting, both mother and daughter carrying large and small bags, and returned with full loads.

Su's mother took Su Cheng to get a hairstyling done. When they saw her again the next day, she had changed a lot. She changed her hairstyle and hair color, cut off her dry and frizzy hair ends, wore expensive haute couture, and added custom-made accessories. She looked brand new from head to toe.

However, he still looked timid and hid behind Su's mother when he saw Su Yanxi.

Su Yanxi was speechless when she noticed Su Cheng's little action. Did she have a scary face, or did her expression clearly say "bad person"?

"Xixi? Didn't you go out to play today?" Seeing Su Yanxi wearing home clothes, Su's mother asked, "It's just right, these are bought for you, go change your clothes quickly, the party is about to start!"

Su Yanxi watched TV dramas for the whole afternoon, stretched her sore back, took the bag and looked at it. It was a sexy little camisole and a pair of dazzling high heels.

That's not her style at all.

She looked puzzled and touched her nose.

"Go change your clothes quickly! This is what your sister chose for you!" Mother Su pushed her eldest daughter's hand.

"Okay." Su Yanxi went upstairs holding her handbag.

Back in the room, Su Yanxi was at a loss as to what to do with the sexy little suspenders.

It's simple, this little camisole is too revealing. Not only does it expose the shoulders, but half of the back is exposed. The skirt is a bit long, which would have been fine, but it has a slit on the side, so if you're not careful, there's a risk of exposing yourself. It's the type of dress she would never choose.

She felt uncomfortable choosing to wear this suspender dress. If she wore her old clothes, Su Cheng's fragile little heart would definitely be hurt again.

She felt that Su Cheng was deliberately making trouble for her.

Su Cheng didn't like her, but she didn't mind. What made her feel bad was that Su Cheng didn't know her style of dressing, but her mother must have known, and she actually let Su Cheng choose this one for her...

...Does she feel that Su Cheng just came back and he's giving in to her in everything, and she's lived a good life for decades, so it's okay for her to suffer a little?

Su Yanxi didn't hesitate for long and chose to wear her old dress. She didn't want to put herself in a bad light. Anyway, she was not the protagonist and not many people would pay attention to her today.

When she entered the venue, Su's father and mother were busy taking Su Cheng to meet guests. She wanted to go over, but felt she couldn't fit in, so she didn't bother them and walked around the venue casually.

When Su Cheng finished his work, he seemed to suddenly notice her and walked over to talk to her.

"Sister, why don't you wear the clothes I chose for you? Don't you like them?" Su Cheng said with red eyes.

"No, I like it very much, but I just got it dirty accidentally." Su Yanxi smiled wryly.

Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Is that so? I was just saying that my sister doesn't like me or the things I choose!"

Mother Su stood aside and listened to the whole thing. She looked at Su Yanxi with disapproval and said, "It's my sister's good intention. Be more careful next time."

"...Okay," Su Yanxi resisted the urge to give up and said calmly, "But next time, I hope you can do your homework properly. This is a rather heartless gesture!"

"What do you mean, sister? Do you think I am dissatisfied with your feelings?" Su Cheng turned to look at Su's mother.

Su's mother frowned and was about to say something when the host on the stage was already calling Su Cheng's name. So she didn't say anything more and took Su Cheng to the stage.

The banquet process quickly transitioned to the part that the guests were most concerned about - testing their mental strength.

"The second young lady of the Su family is so bold that she actually tests her mental strength on the spot. It would be embarrassing if the result is not good!" said a guest.

"Who says it's not? But it's also possible that they've already done the test in advance, and now it's just a formality."

"Hey, isn't that the eldest daughter of the Su family over there? She must know the inside story! I'll go ask her!"

A middle-aged man with a big belly walked towards Su Yanxi. Without saying a word, he laughed three times and said, "Miss Su, you must know how strong the second lady's mental strength is, right?"

Su Yanxi glanced at the man, shook her red wine glass and took a sip, "Aren't you testing it? What's the rush?"

The alcohol made her lips red as fire, but the words spoken from such beautiful lips were of a proud and arrogant nature.

"Haha, that's right." The man was disappointed and stood next to Su Yanxi waiting for the test results.

In a place where Su Yanxi couldn't see, the man grumbled quietly: "Why are you pretending? It won't kill you to tell me in advance!"

The mental strength test was a long process. Many people paused, their gaze fixed on Su Cheng as he entered the cylindrical tester. As time ticked by, the tester began to beep, and the test results appeared on the light screen at the top.

"SS-level mental power! Oh my God!" Someone shouted, and the entire venue heard it clearly and became noisy in an instant.

Su Yanxi has very good eyesight and can clearly see the test results played in a loop by the tester even when standing at the end of the crowd.

"Your mental strength level is SS. Congratulations! You have defeated 98% of the people in the galaxy."

"Oh my, it's SS!" Su Yanxi heard someone next to him say.

"Keep your voice down! Miss Su is standing next to you! I just asked her, but she refused to say anything. It seems she was stimulated by the Second Miss's double S mental power!"

Su Yanxi twisted her ankle, walked slowly behind the man, and kicked him in the tailbone.

The man stumbled and turned to look for the culprit, "Who?! Who did this?!"

The guests around him had no idea why he suddenly went crazy. The anger on his face was terrifying, and they all stayed away from him without saying a word. However, the real culprit had already walked away from the crime scene with brisk steps.
