Wei Zhibin looked remorseful and remorseful as he looked at Wei Dingyun.

"Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that. I've brought shame upon you. You can punish me however you want, but you have to save me!"

Wei Dingyun kicked Wei Zhibin to the ground, startling Wei Ziyao who covered her mouth and dared not utter a sound. Wei Zhibin quickly scrambled back down, burying his head very low, while Wei Dingyun's imposing voice echoed in his ears.

"You still don't understand where you went wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhibin began to ponder. Wasn't his only mistake a matter of conduct? What else could he have done wrong? He was very puzzled and asked his father for advice.

"Dad, I don't quite understand. Could you remind me?"

"Hmph~ Your biggest mistake was not thinking things through before acting, which gave others leverage over you!"

Wei Zhibin realized he had already dealt with one person, so how these things had gotten out was a complete mystery to him.

“Dad, I had already killed the other party and destroyed the items. Who knows how they ended up in the future?”

"You don't know?" Wei Dingyun was even more furious.

He pointed at Wei Zhibin's nose and scolded him with disappointment and frustration.

"You're always like this, always doing things your own way, doing whatever you want. Now you've made such a huge mess and you can't clean it up. Are you scared now? Let me ask you, do you know who's behind this?"

"I...I don't know!"

Enraged, Wei Dingyun kicked Wei Zhibin to the ground again.

"You useless bastard! I've tolerated your misbehavior before, but now, I'm giving you this opportunity to get back here. You're not allowed to go anywhere this month!"

"Yes, Dad!"

Wei Dingyun had already sent people to investigate and tried to suppress the entertainment news, but the matter was escalating too quickly. He was worried that things would get out of control, so he immediately sent people to deal with the online public opinion storm.

Wei Ziyao was also feeling terrible. Her brother's current predicament might affect her relationship with Shi Zhan. Her father was only concerned about her brother and had no energy to care about her. She couldn't just sit and wait for her fate; she had to take the initiative to create an opportunity for herself.

She took her original painting by Tang Bohu from her study and went to the Shi family home!

When she arrived at the Shi family home, she saw Shi Xingyue and thought to herself, "She actually came back from abroad?"

Wei Ziyao greeted her with a smile.

"When did Xingyue come back? She's grown even more beautiful now. If I had known, I should have brought you a gift too!"

"I don't need the gift, after all, I don't need anything!"

Shi Xingyue's attitude towards Wei Ziyao was very cold. Shi Yuan noticed this and, to avoid embarrassing Wei Ziyao, he stepped forward, took the scroll from her hand, and said with a smile,

"Xingyue just got back today. She's still jet-lagged and will go to sleep soon. You brought this for Grandpa, right?"

Wei Ziyao looked at Shi Yuan with great gratitude.

"Yes, Grandpa Shi didn't get to see Tang Bohu's original work last time, so I brought it over specially this time. Is he home?"

"Yes, he's in the study! But Grandpa is talking to Dad in the study. Please sit down and wait a moment!"

After Wei Ziyao sat down, she chatted with Shi Yuan. Shi Xingyue, who didn't like Wei Ziyao to begin with, decided to avoid seeing her and went to swing on the swing in the courtyard.

Wu Youyou received a call from Shi Zhan, who said he would take her to the Shi family to meet Old Master Shi. Wu Youyou was a little nervous. Song Lan had already told her to be poised and generous, and not to be shy or petty.

As Wu Youyou followed Shi Zhan to the Shi family villa, she was immediately stunned. The Shi family was truly magnificent. The moment she stepped into the courtyard, she saw a very cute girl not far away. She had shoulder-length short hair, wore a light yellow headband, and was leisurely swinging on a swing in a pure white gauze dress. She gave off a very refreshing and lovely feeling!

Wu Youyou couldn't help but ask,

"Who is that girl? She's so cute!"

Shi Zhan frowned and looked over, then relaxed and called out to Shi Xingyue, who was swinging on the swing.

"Stars and Moon~"

Shi Xingyue looked up and saw Shi Zhan calling her. She then noticed a girl standing next to him, smiling at her. The smile quickly melted her heart, and Shi Xingyue guessed that this girl must be the one who had saved her brother.

She stopped swinging, ran to Shi Zhan's side, and was overjoyed.

"Brother, have you missed me?"

"Yes... I definitely want to!"

Shi Zhan affectionately ruffled Shi Xingyue's hair, then introduced her to...

"Xingyue, her name is Wu Youyou, she's my girlfriend, and she'll be your sister-in-law from now on!"

The girl in front of me is Shi Zhan's sister? She looks about the same age as me!

Wu Youyou greeted them in a friendly manner.

"Hello, you can call me Youyou from now on!"

Shi Xingyue carefully examined Wu Youyou, noticing her bright and lively eyes. Shi Xingyue frowned slightly, which made Wu Youyou feel a little uneasy.

Suddenly! Shi Zhan's voice was low and deep.

"Shi Xingyue~ Please be well!"

Shi Xingyue burst into laughter, finding her brother's serious yet embarrassed expression rather amusing.

"Brother, don't be nervous. I think Youyou is much better than that Wei Ziyao. I like Youyou very much. It's nice to meet you!"

Shi Xingyue extended her hand to Wu Youyou, and upon seeing this, Wu Youyou revealed her natural smile and also extended her hand to grasp Shi Xingyue's hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Star Moon!"

Shi Xingyue knew that Wei Ziyao had come because of Shi Zhan, but she didn't know what Wei Ziyao was up to, so she kindly reminded Shi Zhan.

"Brother, Wei Ziyao is inside. She said she brought Grandpa some calligraphy or painting. It seems like she's after you!"

Shi Zhan frowned, recalling how last night, while crippling Li Yuan, he received news of the plot to frame Youyou, claiming that Xiao Yiqing had instructed him to do so. He also learned that Xiao Yiqing had conspired with someone else, but as for who that person was, Shi Zhan would find out sooner or later. He also suspected Wei Ziyao.

He looked at Wu Youyou, afraid she might misunderstand him, and explained to her.

"Youyou, don't worry, there's nothing between her and me."

Wu Youyou felt a little awkward when she heard Wei Ziyao inside. After all, she knew about Wei Ziyao and Shi Zhan's relationship. If it weren't for her, the two of them would be a perfect match.

Looking into Shi Zhan's sincere eyes, Wu Youyou felt very gratified.

"Shi Zhan, don't worry, I know what I should do!"

"I'll take care of everything!"

Wu Youyou followed Shi Zhan into the villa's main living room. The living room was empty. The butler went over and said to Shi Zhan...

"Young Master, the Master said you should wait in the living room for a moment!"

Shi Zhan didn't see Wei Ziyao, so he asked the butler.

"Is Grandpa seeing Ziyao right now?!"

The butler glanced at Wu Youyou and then nodded.
