Wu Qifeng didn't notice anything amiss with Wu Youyou. He walked straight up to He Qiangwei, looked her over, and smiled at her, saying...

"So you're He Qiangwei, the little sister I was talking about before! I heard you're doing really well academically~ I used to think that I wish I could be as smart as you, and now look what's happened, you've become my little sister too!"

He Qiangwei looked at Wu Qifeng with a smile on her face, a hint of smugness in her eyes.

"Qifeng, I'm older than you! You should call me 'older sister'!"

Wu Youyou's eyes were practically spitting fire. She gripped her sleeves tightly, afraid that she wouldn't be able to suppress her emotions. She turned and went back to her room.

Out of the corner of her eye, He Qiangwei saw Wu Youyou, who was furious, and her smile widened.

Wu Qifeng was somewhat displeased when He Qiangwei said he was younger than her. He wanted a younger sister, not an older sister, so he called out to Wu Youyou.

"Little sister, come here quickly and help me talk to Rose. I don't want an older sister, I want a younger sister!"

When Wu Qifeng turned to look at Wu Youyou, he found that she was no longer in the living room.

Wu Zhenyuan, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, slapped Wu Qifeng on the head and said sternly,

"You little brat, looking for a beating? Call me 'sister'!"

Wu Qifeng was a little annoyed. He Qiangwei was only in her senior year of high school, how could she call her "sister"? He really couldn't bring himself to say it.

Seeing Wu Qifeng's particularly troubled expression, He Qiangwei spoke up to ease the tension.

"Dad, Qifeng and I are only one day apart in birthdays. I think I should recognize him as my older brother! After all, Brother Qifeng is already in college!"

When Wu Qifeng heard He Qiangwei say that, he was overjoyed and his gaze towards her changed completely.

Immediately, they started chatting and laughing.

Wu Youyou heard the noise outside from inside her room and found it extremely irritating. She couldn't suppress the anger in her chest; she was about to go crazy.

Just then, Wu Youyou's phone rang.

When she saw it was Shi Zhan calling, she immediately took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Shi Zhan, I'm already home. What's up?"

Shi Zhan seemed to hear Wu Youyou's suppressed tone on the other end of the phone before speaking to her.

"Remember, only the weak passively suffer; the strong take the initiative and control the overall situation!"

In her room, Wu Youyou kept hearing Shi Zhan's words echoing in her mind. Shi Zhan's words seemed to be a shot of adrenaline, instantly filling her with fighting spirit.

Wu Youyou thought to herself, "In my own home, how dare you bully me!"

Wu Youyou had just adjusted her breathing to calm her anger; the volcano in her heart had been extinguished.

At that moment, Song Lan's mother's voice came from outside the door.

"Youyou, stop staying in your room and come out to eat!"

Wu Youyou looked at herself in the mirror and replied to Song Lan.

"Okay, Mom, I'll be right there after I change my clothes!"

At the dining table, Song Lan prepared eight hot dishes and eight cold dishes!

Wu Youyou feigned surprise as she looked at He Qiangwei.

"Rose, you really have a lot of influence. This is the first time I've ever had such a lavish meal at home!"

He Qiangwei smiled as she looked at Wu Youyou and found that she was so calm and composed. He Qiangwei knew in her heart that Wu Youyou was just putting on an act.

She looked into Wu Youyou's eyes, and the two stared at each other across the table, their gazes clashing with a murderous intensity. Only the two of them understood each other's meaning. He Qiangwei's smile widened.

"Youyou, today is mainly because Auntie is happy, and it's rare for both of my older brothers to come home. Plus, we're about to take the college entrance exam, so Auntie is cheering us on~ Dad, don't you think so!"

After answering Wu Youyou's question, He Qiangwei then turned the question to Wu Zhenyuan.

Wu Zhenyuan laughed heartily.

"Yes, Youyou, your mom is happy today, and I'm happy too!"

Wu Youyou simply smiled slightly, picked up a few dishes with her chopsticks, and began to eat.

At the dinner table, apart from He Qiangwei and Wu Youyou not getting along, everyone else was quite harmonious.

During this time, He Qiangwei and Wu Youyou were secretly at odds, but no one else noticed and thought that the two of them had a very good relationship.

At this moment, Wu Zhenyuan looked at everyone, wanting to announce something.

"I'm very happy that my family and I can have a meal together today. I have something to announce to you all. I believe you all know this, but I still want to formally inform you."

Wu Zhenyuan looked at He Qiangwei with loving eyes and continued,

“He Qiangwei is my biological daughter. Over the years, I have wronged her and let her suffer outside. Fortunately, we have now recognized each other. I should bring her back to our Wu family and formally introduce her to you. From now on, she will be the eldest daughter of our Wu family. According to seniority, Youyou is younger and will be the second daughter!”

Wu Youyou looked at Wu Zhenyuan with a cold smile, then looked at her mother and noticed that Song Lan had a look of guilt on her face. She couldn't understand why her mother felt guilty.

Wu Maoyan and Wu Qifeng, the two older brothers, were also very welcoming to He Qiangwei's arrival. Wu Youyou was calmly thinking about this matter. She thought that her brothers' attitude must be related to their mother, Song Lan.

Everyone warmly welcomed He Qiangwei home.

He Qiangwei naturally became teary-eyed, saying that she hadn't felt like she had family for a long time, and now that she had a home and relatives, she was very moved.

Only Wu Youyou could see the evil within those eyes.

The conversation at the dinner table naturally drifted to Wu Youyou.

Wu Zhenyuan looked at Wu Youyou, his tone somewhat serious.

“Youyou, the college entrance exam is in three days. I’m very satisfied with your current results. Of course, I hope you get into your ideal university. But I still have to remind you that your engagement ceremony with Wei Zhibin will be held after the college entrance exam. So you should stay away from Shi Zhan.”

When Wu Youyou heard her father say this, her face immediately darkened.
