"Xuejiao, what are you saying? How could your brother just stand by and watch you suffer? Tell me, where is she? She dares to bully my sister! She doesn't deserve to!"
Su Jinhao adopted the posture of an older brother standing up for his younger sister.
He returned to the manor today after hearing that he had a new blood-related younger sister. Fearing that Su Xuejiao would be wronged, he rushed back from the Nanshan Academy.
He only has one younger sister, Su Xuejiao, and no one can take her place.
"Big brother, please don't make things difficult for sister. What will Father and Mother think if they find out?"
"You don't need to worry about what happens to your parents. Just know that you are the only one who holds the title of Miss Su, and you will always be my little sister!"
Hearing Su Jinhao defend her so fiercely, Su Xuejiao revealed a hint of smugness on her face.
Seeing that Su Xuejiao was unwilling to speak, Su Jinhao directly asked Su Jinyi, "Tell me, where is she?"
Su Jinyi said, "I bet she's causing trouble somewhere again. Humph, does this kind of wild girl even deserve to enter the Su family? Bah!"
Su Jinyun was also indignant: "That's right, she has no manners at all. She has completely disgraced our Fire Phoenix Clan. I really don't know why my parents brought her back, making my little sister live in fear every day!"
Su Jinhao thought for a moment and said, "You all stay here with my little sister. I'll go ask my parents."
After saying that, without waiting for Su Xuejiao to persuade him, he turned around and walked towards the living room.
"Big brother, forget it, I'm really fine."
"Xuejiao, don't worry, your older brother will make her listen to him."
Su Xuejiao pretended to call out a few more times until Su Jinhao disappeared from sight, only then did she feel relieved.
"Hmph, no one can take away what belongs to me, not even if you are my father and mother's biological daughter."
At this moment, Su Yunying sat calmly in the lower seat in the lobby.
Seated in the head seat was a noblewoman who bore a striking resemblance to Su Yunying. Without needing to verify, it was clear that this was Su Yunying's birth mother, Yin Jiao'e.
However, Yin Jiao'e did not show the emotions a mother should have towards her biological daughter; instead, she treated her as if she were examining a servant.
In response, Su Yunying did not show the respect a daughter should have for her mother, and returned Yin Jiao'e's casual and indifferent gaze.
After a long silence, Yin Jiao'e spoke up: "Look at you, you've been back for a month and you haven't learned any of the rules of the manor. I really don't know what you've been doing all these years."
Su Yunying remained expressionless: "Madam Su, you're joking. I'm an orphan with no parents, and no one taught me those complicated etiquette rules since I was little."
What makes you so sure that in just one month you can train me to be like your precious daughter?
After spending these days together, Su Yunying's initial slight expectation of family affection quickly faded as the Su family's indifference towards her disappeared, replaced by their reciprocated attitude.
Having spent her childhood in the underworld, she has always believed in the principle of repaying kindness with kindness and an eye for an eye.
Since you don't like me, what does it matter if you're my biological parents? You've never raised me for a single day, so why should I become docile and obedient?
Moreover, the reason she returned to the Su residence was because she had heard that the Su residence possessed a treasure that could track a person's aura, and she wanted to borrow it to find Shen Zhao's whereabouts. Otherwise, Su Yunying would have left the Su residence long ago.
Compared to this vague and ethereal kinship, nothing provides the sense of security that Shen Zhao has crafted for him.
Yin Jiao'e frowned: "As expected, you don't understand any rules at all. How can you be included in the genealogy of my Fire Phoenix Clan?"
Su Yunying immediately retorted, "Madam Su, you really have a bad memory. You don't even allow me to call you mother, so how could you allow me to be included in the family genealogy?"
Yin Jiao'e's expression changed slightly, but she had no way to refute it.
She was afraid that Su Yunying's return would affect Su Xuejiao's mood, and besides, she didn't like the way her daughter looked at her, so she didn't want her to call her "mother".
However, this girl actually dared to speak so openly; she really doesn't know what manners are.
"Alright, Madam Su, I've been back for a while now, so just tell me why you wanted me to come back."
I don't believe you're just spouting nonsense about family reunions—something you yourself don't even believe.
"Su Yunying, I am your mother! You'd better show some respect."
"Let me reiterate, your daughter is Su Xuejiao, not me, Su Yunying. Let's get straight to the point and get to the point."
Yin Jiao'e never expected that her daughter would be so disrespectful to her.
Just as she was about to state her purpose directly, Su Jinhao strode into the living room: "Mother, I want to ask, where is that Su Yunying?"
Yin Jiao'e swallowed back the words she was about to say, revealing a motherly tenderness as she asked Su Jinhao, "Jinhao, what brings you here?"
Su Jinhao said, "I heard that such a big thing happened at home, how could I not rush back?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Su Yunying sitting not far away and was immediately stunned.
"What a beautiful girl, much prettier than Xuejiao."
After taking a closer look at Su Yunying, who bore a resemblance to her mother, he roughly understood her identity.
Suddenly, an image flashed into Su Jinhao's mind:
He rode a tall horse, galloping across the boundless wilderness.
Su Yunying sat in front of him on the saddle, nestled tightly in his arms.
"Big brother, slow down, I'm scared~"
"Little sister, don't be afraid. With your big brother here, you'll be alright."
"But……"
