Yun Lian gave Xie Zhaodi an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry for taking up so many years of your life, Zhao Di. I'm really happy that you can come home."

You've finally escaped that hellhole that should have been mine. Don't worry, I'll make it up to you in the future.

Yunmu ran over and hugged Yunlian, her eyes almost overflowing with heartache.

"Lianlian, Mommy doesn't agree. No matter what, the Yun family is your home. Where can you go if you leave home?"

Yun Lian gently patted Yun Mu, a bright smile on her face.

“Mom, the Yun family should be Zhao Di’s home. She has suffered so much. She has finally come home. Please be kind to her.”

Yun Lian turned to face her father.

“Dad, now that things are settled, I hope you can treat Zhao Di with sincerity. No, she shouldn’t be called Zhao Di. Dad, you should change her name before you acknowledge her back.”

Yun He stepped forward, his lips tightening: "And what about you? You think of her in everything, but what are your plans for yourself?"

Yun Lian released Yun Mu, her face filled with longing.

"I want to study hard and become a police officer so that I can protect more people in the future."

Xie Zhaodi counted on her fingers as she listened to Yun Lian's explanation to them, feeling uneasy.

Her mind was in turmoil. After a brief period of sadness, she was completely dazed until Yun Lian dragged her suitcase downstairs, at which point she suddenly snapped out of it.

Xie Zhaodi suddenly ran up to Yun Lian, but didn't know what to say.

Yun Lian smiled at her and patted Xie Zhaodi's shoulder reassuringly.

"Don't be sad. Even if you don't come home, I'm still moving out."

Xie Zhaodi looked uneasy, but ultimately said nothing.

Miraculously, none of the Yun family members saw Yun Lian off when she left.

Yun Lian brushed past Xie Zhaodi and walked towards the villa under her name.

As soon as she arrived, Li Qi saw her and jumped up from the sofa with her blonde hair.

Yun Lian was stunned for a moment.

"Why are you here?"

Li Qi was overjoyed and took Yun Lian's luggage.

"No way, my dear lady, when I was kicked out of my house a few days ago and had nowhere to live, you gave me the key and let me stay here. Have you forgotten already?"

It was only then that Yun Lian remembered that Li Qi had been kicked out of her family to reflect on her actions because she was involved in Xie Zhaodi's rumor-mongering.

He kept insisting on going back to the Yun family home with her for a few days, but she couldn't stand his incessant chatter any longer, so she casually told him to stay at her place.

“I really forgot. If I had known you lived here, I would have moved to a villa.”

Li Qi instantly felt wronged, and even her golden retriever seemed to collapse.

"Well, you little darling, you don't like me at all. What happened to our agreement to stand together through thick and thin?"

Yun Lian sat on the sofa, completely relaxed, a smile playing in her eyes.

"The person who stood by you through thick and thin was the eldest daughter of the Yun family. Now that I've left the Yun family, I'm no longer the eldest daughter."

Li Qi stood there, stunned.

"What's going on?"

Yun Lian briefly told him about the real and fake heiresses. Li Qi remained silent for a long time before sitting down beside Yun Lian without making a sound.

“It’s okay, it’s good to move out. We’re both homeless, so if we get together, we can have a home.”

Yun Lian put her arm around Li Qi's shoulder.

"Who wants to hang out with you? Go home now and don't disturb my studies."

Li Qi grinned and said, "No way, I want to stay by your side."

The Yun family acted quickly, spending money to resolve the issue of Xie Zhaodi's adoptive parents, and it was at that time that they learned that Yun Lian and Xie Zhaodi's adoptive parents were not related by blood.

When Xie Zhaodi returned home, she was given a nicer name, Yun Kui.

However, the Yun family kept a low profile after recognizing her, rarely letting her appear in public.

But it added a lot of pressure to her studies.

Things she once longed for but was not qualified to learn, are now being sought after by tutors from all over the country.

She learns flower arranging, tea tasting, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Yunmu also regularly takes her for skincare treatments.

But apart from that, her relationship with the Yun family did not improve.

Rather than a family, she was more like a doll they had carefully dressed up.

I don't know when it will be sold.

When Yun Kui came to Class 1 to find Yun Lian, Li Qi was beside her, using her textbook to shield her from the sunlight outside the window.

Yun Lian slept soundly, her red lips slightly parted, her dark eyelashes like butterflies about to take flight, she was unbelievably beautiful.

Those who used to follow her for power and status still surround her now that they know she is no longer the daughter of the Yun family.

Her changed status didn't seem to make much difference to her.

In addition to escaping that evil family, he gained educational resources that he never dared to imagine before.

Yun Kui pinched her palm hard, but apart from the pain, she didn't bleed like in the novel.

Lu Ting walked to Yun Kui's side and watched the quiet and beautiful scene in the classroom with her.

"I heard that the Yun family is going to hold a birthday party for you next month to celebrate your return home."

"Celebrate? Who knows?"

Yun Kui had no desire to continue the conversation and turned to walk towards the classroom.

Lu Ting looked at her for a long time before slowly coming to a conclusion: "You're not happy."

Why is that? Now that they're all back in the Yun family, they won't have to worry anymore, but why does she have no energy at all?

Yun Kui hesitated slightly, biting her lips tightly.

"Tell me, what kind of person is Yun Lian?"

"She has always been very charming, and as long as you sincerely follow her, she will do everything in her power to help you."

"Most of her followers have received favors from her. Miss Yun is a good person."

Yun Kui suddenly burst into tears.

"She's just a naive and innocent girl; everyone wants to save her."

If she hadn't taken the initiative to help me and hadn't approached me, she might still be the eldest daughter of the Yun family.

No...

Leave the Yun family.

"Is she stupid? If Miss Yun were truly stupid, she wouldn't attract so many people to her side."

He wanted to join in, but he wasn't qualified.

Even though some people in that circle come from poor families, they are very opposed to illegitimate children.

Yun Kui remained silent and sat back down in her seat.

After school.

Yun Lian carried several books and walked towards the school gate.

As soon as I arrived at the school gate, I was greeted by a beautifully wrapped bouquet of Diana roses.

Yun Qu peeked out from behind the flowers.

"Princess, please get in the carriage."

Yun Lian's attention was completely drawn to him.

His figure swayed with an alluring charm, exuding sensuality. His hazy blue hair and sparkling silver earrings further accentuated his flamboyant and unrestrained personality.

The loosely draped shirt hung precariously on her body, revealing a large expanse of full, well-defined pectoral muscles, instantly amplifying her allure.

If Yun Lian hadn't known his identity, she would never have imagined that this person, who was even more handsome than a top boy band member, was actually the CEO who managed the Yun family's overseas company.

Yun Lian's eyes were filled with surprise and joy as she happily threw herself into Yun Qu's arms.

"Second brother, you're finally back. I've missed you so much."

Yun Qu held up the bouquet of flowers in his hand, afraid of hurting her.

"You little liar, if you really missed your second brother, why haven't you contacted him?"

Yun Lian was pressed tightly into his arms, her nostrils filled with the pleasant woody scent of his body.
