Lin Yan: "..." The heir has no prestige, huh? Very well.

He remembered those words; he would see later whether this heir truly had any prestige.

Hearing this, the people around breathed a sigh of relief. More people were participating in the competition on the stage, while the losers were now in the medical ward of the Delin family.

The two stood there for an unknown amount of time, until the sky began to darken slightly, before finally moving on.

"Buzz!"

Looking at the note on her phone screen, the girl took a few steps and waited until she was away from the noise before answering the call.

"Old man?"

"You've arrived at the Delin family?" The voice on the other end was Han Yan's, sounding somewhat nervous, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight tremor.

Meanwhile, in Han Yan's office, he wasn't alone. Lin Chuan, Li Hao, and others were also there, all their eyes fixed on him, waiting for news from the other side.

"yes."

"How is it there? Have you been bullied? Are the people from the Delin family easy to get along with?"

Qi Jiu glanced at the still somewhat noisy crowd beside her, subconsciously thinking of the assassin organization she lived in, and smiled.

"It's alright, but as for those relatives of the Delin family, that remains to be seen."

Aren't there relatives we haven't met yet? It's too early to draw conclusions now.

As for the current environment, it reminded her of the assassin organization, but she didn't find it objectionable.

Han Yan, who originally had a lot to say, now held his phone but didn't know what to say, and looked at his apprentices next to him with a pleading look.

The apprentices: "..."

Lin Chuan snatched the phone away. He had a feeling that if they didn't speak soon, given Qi Jiu's personality, she would probably hang up in no time.

"Qiqi, are you adjusting well over there?"

"Fourth Brother? He's alright."

"If you're bullied in any way, just tell us, okay? We won't let you get away with this! If you're ever unhappy, Fourth Brother will come over with a gun!"

Listening to the words of comfort on the other end of the phone, Qi Jiu's smile finally wasn't a professional fake smile; she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"I understand. Don't worry, given the current state of the Delin family, they can't do anything to me."

The Delin family is now on its last legs, what can they do to her? Even at its peak, the Delin family would have to think twice before trying to touch her!

The person on the other end of the phone seemed a little uneasy, and after saying a few more words, they finally hung up.

Lin Yan looked at her, slowly leaning closer, a smile he couldn't hide on his lips. "So, did you mention me?"

Seeing Lingyan's expectant face, Qijiu cleared her throat, "...It was mentioned."

"Yay! I knew they remembered me!"

Qi Jiu: "..." Hehe.

When the two returned to the main building, it seemed that the other relatives of the family had also returned.

With a few more people around, the main building is much livelier now. It seems life from now on won't be so boring.

The main building, which was filled with the sounds of conversation, fell silent the moment Qi Jiu pushed open the door, and in that instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on her.

And so, the probing gazes turned into surprise.

"This...it's so similar..."

I don't know how long the atmosphere had been frozen, but it was finally broken by this sentence.

Qi Jiu smiled. It was that same phrase again. She was tired of hearing it. It seemed she needed to find some time to look at her mother's photo. She wanted to see just how similar the two of them really were.

"Young lady, what's your name...?"

"Qi Jiu".

The girl turned her gaze to the speaker, a middle-aged woman who was standing next to Rongman, looking at her with red eyes.

This must be her only aunt. I wonder if her red eyes are genuine or just an act.

After all, it's been so long since we last saw each other. Everyone here isn't stupid; who knows how much of this affection is genuine?

"Then can I call you... Qiqi?"

The middle-aged woman looked cautiously at Qi Jiu, her eyes filled with anticipation. All eyes in the hall were on the two of them, seemingly also filled with expectation and waiting.

Qi Jiu pursed her lips and looked at her. "Anything is fine."

It's just a form of address. If it were the Delin family, they would change their ways a little because of a form of address, and it wouldn't hurt to use a more intimate one.

"Qiqi!"

The middle-aged woman suddenly smiled and then took two steps forward.

Under the girl's questioning gaze, he simply hugged her tightly. With each tightening of his arms, the girl felt herself being squeezed tighter and tighter.

Did this aunt want to strangle her?

"It's my fault. The last time I saw you, you were still a baby. I never expected that when we met again, you would have grown up. I was absent from your growth and I don't know how you got to where you are today."

Qing Shuang was a little emotional, and tears fell without her realizing it.

Seeing her mother like this, Rongman's already slightly furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply.

The girl felt the warmth on her body, her eyes filled with a somewhat unreadable emotion. When she sensed that the person embracing her was acting strangely, she could only look up and gently pat her back.

"It's alright. Over the years, I feel that my life has been pretty good. I've already gotten everything I wanted."

Something in those words seemed to trigger Qin Shuang, causing her emotions to break down even further. As for Kesen and the other relatives, they just watched the two people embracing.

At dinner time, Qi Jiu, as the sole heir of the Delin family, naturally sat in the main seat, while Qing Yuan could only sit to the side.

Even though they had already seen the real person, the girl could still feel many scrutinizing gazes sweeping over her.

"Qiqi, we haven't seen each other in a long time. I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I made all kinds of dishes. Would you... like to try some?"

After the girl returned to the Delin family, only Qing Shuang always wanted to make it up to her.

Although it's unclear whether these actions reflect her true feelings or are feigned, from the perspective of the Delin family, her actions seem more heartbroken than others.

"Everything is fine." Qi Jiu's face didn't show much excitement; she just ate her meal calmly.

Qingyuan looked at her, then glanced at his son beside him, and quietly gave him a look.

Upon seeing this, Qi Lin's eyes became more serious.

"Qiqi, you've been at the Delin family for half a day now. Xiaoman said you've been exploring the Delin family for quite a while. How are you? Are you getting used to life here? Do you like this manor?"

Qi Lin is the eldest of these siblings, and he is now approaching thirty.
