Lin Zhilu ignored the smug look in her parents' eyes. In particular, Li Ruorui looked at Lin Zhilu and said to her, "From now on, this is your home. Don't go back to that house anymore."

Lin Zhilu asked, puzzled, "Why? That's the best environment I've ever provided for myself. I couldn't even afford to live in that house before."

She was right. When the original owner died, the house was so dilapidated. The only heating device was the air conditioner, but she didn't dare to use it much because of the electricity bill.

If she hadn't taken over this body, they might have only found a handful of the original owner's ashes.

"Alright, stop talking." Lin Qiu was afraid that Lin Zhiluo, whom she had finally managed to call back, would be driven away by Li Ruorui.

He had come to realize that Lin Zhiluo was different from many of the children around him.

Lin Zhiluo is now fully capable of breaking free from the Lin family. Firstly, she doesn't rely on the Lin family's money for a living, and secondly, she doesn't need the Lin family's help in the entertainment industry.

On the contrary, if the Lin family tries to influence Lin Zhiluo with public opinion, she will have a lot of dirt on the Lin family, and his previous advantage in dealing with the child will be completely lost in front of Lin Zhiluo.

Lin Zhiluo and Qi Zhiyang walked into the Lin family home together. After seeing the children in the living room, she smiled and looked at Lin Qiu: "These are all my older brothers, older sisters, younger brothers, and younger sisters?"

For some reason, Lin Qiu's face felt hot. If it were any other child, he would have been able to calmly answer Lin Zhiluo, but Lin Zhiluo was his biological child, and there was also Qi Zhiyang by Lin Zhiluo's side.

Qi Zhiyang had known about Lin Qiu's deeds for a long time. He was the one who orchestrated Lin Qiu's illegitimate child. But with more than ten children together, the scene was quite spectacular.

"Yes, these are all your relatives," Lin Qiu could only say through gritted teeth.

"Hmph, I will never admit that she is my sister. The only sisters I acknowledge are Jia Yue and Si Jie."

The child who spoke had a very innocent face. Lin Zhilu knew his name was Lin Hongxi, and he was closest to Lin Sijie.

"Logically speaking, we are siblings with the same father and mother, but I have lived outside for so many years, so if you don't acknowledge me as your sister, I won't acknowledge you as my brother either. I haven't said anything yet, are you trying to embarrass me by saying this, or apologize to your sister Sijie for not coming back?"

Lin Qiu and Lin Hongxi's expressions changed. Lin Zhilu's voice was sarcastic. She knew from the original owner's memories that this so-called biological younger brother was the one who bullied her the most in this family, along with Lin Sijie.

Such things as secretly pushing the original owner down the stairs or falsely accusing the original owner of stealing are common occurrences.

"Lin Hongxi, is this how I taught you to talk to your family?" Lin Qiu reprimanded sharply, and everyone present immediately understood Lin Qiu's attitude towards this newcomer.

Everyone changed their previous attitude of watching a show and began to treat Lin Zhiluo with respect.

Qi Zhiyang sneered. The Lin family kids are all so perceptive. You can imagine what would happen if someone as naive as the original owner came in.

Lin Zhilu thought for a moment and said, "I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a bit."

Lin Qiu looked at Li Ruorui, who didn't seem to care about her daughter. She turned to the housekeeper and said, "Take her to the bedroom."

At this point, the housekeeper's expression had darkened, and Li Ruorui frowned, saying, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take the people over there."

At that moment, she didn't think much about it. She had already had the rooms on the third floor cleaned up. After all, her children were different from those illegitimate children in her family who were an eyesore.

Butler Li had no choice but to lead Lin Zhiluo to a corner on the first floor.

As Lin Zhiluo passed by Lin Hongxi, she muttered softly, "Idiot."

Lin Hongxi was so angry that his face turned red. He wanted to confront Lin Zhiluo, but Lin Jiayue stopped him. When he saw that it was his eldest sister who was stopping him, Lin Hongxi immediately complained, "Big sister..."

Lin Jiayue sneered: "She was right when she said you're an idiot. Everyone in this family is watching Mom and Dad's attitude. Only you, like a brainless idiot, came up and talked back to Lin Zhiluo. Didn't you see who Lin Zhiluo is standing next to right now?"

Lin Hongxi was completely stunned; he really hadn't noticed.

Lin Jiayue said, "The man next to Lin Zhiluo is Qi Zhiyang, your biological sister's husband. Do you know what kind of family the Qi family is? Do you think that's why Mom and Dad went to such lengths to bring Lin Zhiluo back?"

There's something that any kid in the family could understand, but Lin Hongxi doesn't. We should find a time to send my younger brother abroad; otherwise, this brainless idiot will die in the Lin family sooner or later.

After Lin Jiayue finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Sijie and said, "You really took good care of my brother."

After saying that, he glanced at the brainless Lin Hongxi and was furious: "Idiot."

Lin Hongxi was furious, but he was suppressed by his bloodline when it came to Lin Jiayue, so he didn't dare to argue.

He suddenly realized that before Lin Zhiluo returned, he had seen Lin Sijie crying in a corner many times, and later she complained to him.

Lin Sijie was afraid that Lin Zhiluo would come back and that she would have no place in the family. She was afraid that she would be bullied and even wanted to leave the Lin family.

He had the best relationship with Lin Sijie since childhood, so he said at the time that he only recognized Lin Sijie as his older sister and would not give Lin Zhiluo any kind looks after returning.

Just now, while he was targeting Lin Zhiluo, this older sister stood aside expressionlessly.

Lin Sijie wanted to explain something, after all, Lin Hongxi was the only one in the family who treated her the best.

"Hongxi, I..." Lin Sijie wanted to explain, but now that she had figured things out, she didn't want to pay attention to Lin Hongxi anymore and went straight back to her room.
