When Su Jinhao returned to the Su residence dejectedly, his siblings had already gone to their rooms to sleep, but their mother, Yin Jiao'e, was waiting for him in the guest hall.
Upon seeing Su Jinhao return alone, Yin Jiao'e showed a hint of displeasure: "Where is that girl? Didn't she come back with you?"
Su Jinhao shook his head: "She said she won't be coming back."
"What? You're not coming back!?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Jiao'e's eyes showed surprise.
"We finally managed to bring her back, and she says she won't come back? That's wishful thinking!"
Then, she looked at Su Jinhao with a hint of reproach: "Couldn't you just bring her back and let her run wild? If she doesn't come back, what will happen to your sister Xuejiao's future?"
Su Jinhao lowered his head and said, "Mother, how could I possibly bring her back?"
Besides, her sworn brother is so powerful; even by force, I wouldn't be a match for him. I really don't have that ability.
At this point, Su Jinhao recalled the scene of Su Yunying smiling broadly at Liang Hao and naturally calling him "brother," and felt a sudden discomfort in his heart.
Yin Jiao'e: "Where is she? Take me there."
Su Jinhao quickly stopped her: "Mother, let it go. Since she's not close to us, let her be."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Yin Jiao'e's face darkened. "The bloodline in her is crucial to your sister's future. We finally managed to find her."
"It's all so that your sister can achieve great things in the future and bring glory to our Fire Phoenix clan, don't you understand!"
Su Jinhao retorted, "But isn't Yunying also your daughter, your own flesh and blood?"
"Couldn't she revitalize the Fire Phoenix clan? Why extract her bloodline and give it to Xuejiao? Isn't that redundant?"
Upon hearing this, not only was Yin Jiao'e stunned, but even Su Jinhao himself found it hard to believe. How could he side with his younger sister whom he had only known for a day?
"Jinhao, what nonsense are you talking about? Your only sister is Xuejiao. What right does that other girl have to be your sister?"
Upon hearing this, Su Jinhao looked at Yin Jiao'e with some disbelief.
"Mother, Yunying is your own daughter!"
"My daughter will always be Xuejiao!"
Yin Jiao'e said firmly.
"You remember this: the Su family brought her back to pave the way for Xuejiao's future. This is the only thing she, as my daughter, can do."
"Our Su family only has one legitimate daughter, and that is Su Xuejiao. You must remember this well: Su Yunying is merely a stepping stone to pave the way for your younger sister, Su Xuejiao."
Su Jinhao's pupils contracted, and he stared at Yin Jiao'e in disbelief.
He never realized that his mother was so vicious, a far cry from her usual gentle and generous nature.
It seems that ever since Su Yunying returned, Yin Jiao'e's temper has become increasingly volatile and she has become extremely unreasonable.
"Mother, are you really going to do this?"
"This must be done, for the sake of my Fire Phoenix clan, for Xue Jiao, and for the Su family."
Su Yunying must willingly offer her own blood to your sister!
Seeing his mother almost screaming out such vicious words, Su Jinhao felt a chill run through his body.
Is this really my mother?
After a long while, Su Jinhao could only sigh and slowly lower his head.
"knew."
"Hurry up and get the car ready, lead the way!"
Su Jinhao frowned: "Mother, is it too late today? Why don't we go tomorrow?"
"To avoid any unforeseen complications, this wild girl needs to be under our watchful eyes to feel at ease. No need to say more."
Go and prepare the car immediately. Bring her back tonight, and tomorrow try to force-feed her the medication so that Xuejiao can have a blood transfusion as soon as possible!
Seeing Yin Jiao'e's resolute attitude, Su Jinhao had no choice but to do as she instructed, no matter how unwilling he was.
Meanwhile, inside the Ji residence.
"Nonsense! What nonsense are you spouting, you unfilial son? Do you think you've eaten too much and are planning to put on a show of filial piety?"
Ji Henxing, the head of the Ji family, was furious. After hearing the description from the Ji brothers, he threw the teacup in his hand at them.
Hearing that the villains who robbed Pin Yue Ju were the eldest daughter of the Su family, he was even more furious and trembled with fear.
Of course, what made him lose his composure was not just that, but Ji Bochang's sudden statement that Pin Yue Ju would be given to the Su family as a betrothal gift sooner or later, so why not just give it to them all at once?
He even proposed the naive idea of marrying Su Yunying.
"You unfilial son, you unfilial son! How could I have given birth to such a good-for-nothing as you?"
"If I had known this would happen, I should have pasted your picture on the wall back then, instead of making me angry now!"
Ji Henxing kept slamming his fist on the table and roaring, while Ji Bochang and Ji Bochu, who were standing in front of him, didn't dare to utter a single word.
At this moment, the fourth son, Ji Boying, brought a bowl of freshly brewed tea and placed it on Ji Henxing's table, gently comforting him, "Father, calm down first. We still need to hear your second brother's explanation."
Ji Henxing pointed at Ji Bochang's nose and shouted, "Why don't you tell me what you want?"
Ji Bochang rubbed his hands and said, "Father, I've thought it over. Our Ji family is engaged to the eldest daughter of the Su family."
Now that their real daughter has returned, we must naturally follow the rules.
Since Su Yunying is the legitimate daughter of the Su family, then I should marry her.
Upon hearing this, Ji Bochu, who was standing to the side, became displeased: "Second Brother,"
I never expected you to say something like that. If you marry Su Yunying, what will happen to Su Xuejiao?
You two have already slept together, do you want to be branded as someone who starts something and then abandons it?
If this gets out, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Ji family?
Upon hearing this, Ji Henxing's face was filled with disbelief. He pointed at Ji Bochang and said in a trembling voice, "So, you unfilial son, you actually slept with her?"
