Xue Shaoming glanced at Xue Jinjin, clearly sensing Jinjin's disappointment in his parents. He then looked at Xue's parents, who were inactive, clearly wanting to downplay the matter and let it go...

But it's not that easy!

There are no security cameras at home! If she hadn't happened to see everything via video call with Jinjin, there would have been no way to prove it! Jinjin might have missed the college entrance exam! Xue Jiaxin would never admit that there was anything wrong with the milk she gave Jinjin!

The whole thing will just be assumed that Xue Jinjin ate something unclean, causing her to miss the college entrance exam! No one will discover the truth, how wronged will Jinjin feel?!

Xue Shaoming looked at Xue Jiaxin's delicate, aggrieved, and pitiful face, and suddenly seemed to realize something! He had always given in to her because of this since they were little, indulging her without any principles, and sometimes even willingly taking the blame for her...

But I'm clearly not that kind of person! I'm usually very principled! Even if I spoil my sister, there has to be a limit, right?!

Xiao Qi played a recording of everything that was happening downstairs, and was somewhat surprised: Xue Shaoming seemed to have awakened!

Yunqi: Awakening?

Xiaoqi: It means shedding the female lead's halo and no longer viewing Xue Jiaxin through rose-tinted glasses.

Yunqi: That's pretty good.

Xiaoqi: Xue Jiaxin's aura has dimmed considerably, while Xue Jinjin's aura is now on par with hers.

Yunqi smiled: Not bad. It's a good opportunity to see who's the most powerful in this world.

Xue Shaoming solemnly put down his chopsticks and said, "Dad, Mom, you should let Xue Jiaxin go back to her biological parents."

"Brother?!" Xue Jiaxin was shocked. How could Xue Shaoming say such a thing?! Wasn't he the one who loved her the most?!

Mr. and Mrs. Xue stared at Xue Shaoming in shock. Mrs. Xue was furious: "Shaoming, what are you saying?! You know perfectly well that the Liang family is ruthless and heartless, yet you still let Jiaxin go back?!"

"They eat people without spitting out the bones?" Xue Shaoming was also somewhat disappointed. "It's that Liang family that eats people without spitting out the bones! Your own daughter lived there for more than ten years!"

Aunt Xue: "..."

Xue Shaoming: "Mom, can't you think about Jinjin a little more? You can't be this biased!!"

Aunt Xue's tone softened: "...Now...Jinjin has already come back, hasn't she..."

Xue Shaoming said disappointedly, "Will she be bullied by Xue Jiaxin when she comes back? The Xue family has never protected Jinjin since she was little. Now that Jinjin has returned to the Xue family, are you still going to let Jinjin suffer?!"

Xue Jiaxin still tried to play the victim: "Brother... I didn't mean to... I was just too scared..."

"Are you so scared that you drug someone else?" Xue Shaoming interrupted her. "Xue Jiaxin, you need to understand! Your current identity is that of someone who stole Jinjin. You have no blood relation to the Xue family. The Xue family has raised you for more than ten years and they don't owe you anything! You are only relying on the affection your parents have shown you for more than ten years!"

"Brother...I'm sorry..."

"You didn't wrong me! You wronged Jinjin!"

Xue Jinjin was already in tears. She hadn't expected Xue Shaoming to stand up for her... Her previous dream felt like a past life; in the dream, whether it was her parents, her brother, or Luo Liangchuan, they were all surrounding Xue Jiaxin...

Now, can she finally hope that someone loves her?

Xue Jiaxin said pitifully, "Sister, I'm sorry..."

Xue Jinjin didn't look at Xue Jiaxin. She wiped away her tears and looked at Xue Shaoming: "Brother, thank you! You and Mom and Dad can discuss how to handle this. I'll listen to you."

"……good."

Xue Jinjin stood up: "Dad, Mom, brother, I'm going back to my room now."

Xue Jinjin returned to his room and hugged Yun Qi, who was lying on the bed, saying, "Qiqi, I think I feel 'love'! It's my brother's love for me! I feel so warm, and it's so wonderful to have someone stand up for me!"

Yunqi: "Meow meow meow~ (You're hugging me too tight...)"

Xue Jinjin quickly relaxed a bit: "Qiqi, I'm sorry, I was just too happy..."

"Meow... (Aren't you worried about Xue Jiaxin?)"

Xue Jinjin shook her head and smiled, "I have more faith in my brother to handle this! But you, Qiqi, why are you sleeping more and more?"

"Meow meow meow... (I'm already 7 years old, which is equivalent to 45 years old in human terms. I'm middle-aged now.)"

45 years old?!

Xue Jinjin was somewhat at a loss: "Qiqi, aren't you a cat demon? Can't you live for hundreds of years by cultivating?"

Yunqi: "Meow meow meow... (You've been reading too many novels, I'm just an ordinary cat.)"

Xue Jinjin looked incredulous: "If you were an ordinary cat, how could you know so much?!"

Yunqi: "Meow... (Maybe she carried her memories with her when she was reincarnated?)"

Xue Jinjin: "So, you were a human in your past life?"

Yunqi nodded.

Xue Jinjin realized that a cat's lifespan is only a dozen years or so, which means that Qiqi will leave him in a few years?!

Xue Jinjin suddenly felt a pang of panic: "Qiqi, are you really not a cat demon? You're so different!..."

Yunqi: "Meow meow meow... (The difference is that you're not me, but you can understand what I'm saying.)"

"I?"

"Meow... (Yes. You can understand cat language.)"

"What's the use of being able to understand it?"

"Meow meow meow... (Then you should think about what you want to do in the future.)"

Seeing Xue Jinjin deep in thought, Yunqi meowed twice more, meaning that since the college entrance exam had just ended, there was still time to think it over slowly, and there was no rush...

It's unclear how Xue Shaoming and his parents discussed it, but Xue Jiaxin moved out of the Xue family home overnight. According to Xue Shaoming, his parents arranged for her to live in an apartment in the XX residential area.

These past few days, Mr. and Mrs. Xue have been extremely careful, afraid of upsetting Xue Jinjin. Xue Jinjin, finding it all rather boring, simply took Qiqi and went to work with Xue Shaoming…
