A luxury car slowly pulled up in front of the Yu family mansion, the door elegantly opened, and Song Jiao, dressed in a dashing outfit, stepped out with a confident stride. The sunlight just happened to shine on her delicate face, as if even the light was captivated by it.
As soon as they stepped into the carved gate, a group of servants froze in place, as if they were frozen in time, forgetting even to breathe.
"It seems that I haven't been back for a few years, so no one recognizes me now. What about you?"
Mu Shaoshen interrupted at the right time, a playful smile on his lips, and looked around: "Why, the young lady has arrived, and there is not even a welcome ceremony? This is not a good way to treat guests."
The servants suddenly realized what was going on and shouted in unison: "Welcome home, young lady!" The sound echoed throughout the courtyard, bringing a bit of belated excitement.
Song Jiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a barely perceptible smile in her eyes, but she pretended to be indifferent and walked straight into the living room.
The living room was completely different from the solemn and dignified place she remembered. It was now occupied by all kinds of dolls, as if she had stepped into a fairy tale world.
The Yu family's parents were busy fiddling with the tea set. When they looked up and saw Song Jiao, their movements froze instantly, and a smile of surprise blossomed on their faces. "Shasha, my precious daughter, you're finally back!"
Mother Yu almost trotted over to Song Jiao and circled around her, her eyes full of distress. "Look at you, you've lost so much weight. Did you suffer a lot outside?"
Song Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of teasing in her eyes: "It's okay, I just miss home sometimes... uh, not these dolls."
She paused deliberately and looked around. "What's with all these dolls all over the room? Have you forgotten that I've always had a bad relationship with furry things since I was a child?"
Upon hearing this, Yu's father slapped his forehead, as if suddenly realizing something. "Oh, look at our memories. We forget everything when we get busy. Quick, take away all these dolls and replace them with decorations that the young lady likes!"
Yu's mother smiled awkwardly, yet with a hint of doting: "Yes, yes, I'll change it right away. Our Sasha is a grown-up girl now, so naturally her preferences have changed."
The servants began to move the dolls in a hurry, and the whole living room suddenly became lively.
Song Jiao looked at this scene with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"By the way, I heard that our family has an adopted daughter recently?" Song Jiao suddenly changed the subject, a sly look flashing in her eyes, "It seems that I have to consolidate my position as the legitimate eldest daughter."
"Oh, child, why do you think so? We adopted Shayi because you were not around, and we old couple needed someone to accompany us!" Yu's mother pretended to be surprised, but there was a smile in her eyes. She never expected that Song Jiao had already known about the matter of her adopted daughter.
She continued seriously, "But don't worry, you will always be the treasure in my heart. No one can shake your position."
As soon as he finished speaking, a girl in a white dress floated down from the second floor stairs, like a princess from a fairy tale.
She watched helplessly as her beloved dolls were moved away one by one. A subtle displeasure flashed across her eyes, but a sweet smile soon appeared on her lips. "Mom and Dad, why are these dolls being put away all of a sudden?"
Her eyes moved through the crowd and finally fixed on the incredibly beautiful woman. Her face was surprisingly similar to her own.
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: Could this be the legendary Yu Shasha, who has returned home?
Song Jiao slowly raised her eyelids, staring straight at Yu Shayi with a sharp gaze, "Since I have returned to this home, no more dolls are allowed here." There was unquestionable determination in her tone.
When Yu Shayi heard this, a look of grievance instantly appeared on her face, and her voice trembled a little, "I'm sorry, sister... I, I really didn't know you didn't like dolls." As she said that, she was about to step forward to help clean up, looking well-behaved.
Yu's mother was about to speak to mediate, but Song Jiao beat her to the punch. "Wait, I have something to say. First, my mother only gave birth to me as a daughter, so you'd better not call me 'sister' to avoid misunderstandings. Second, when you see me in the future, remember to call me 'Miss'. Also, don't flaunt yourself as the daughter of the Yu family in public, so as not to bring shame to the family. Got it?"
Yu Shayi clenched her teeth, clenched her hands into fists, and felt unwilling.
This is undoubtedly announcing to the world that she, Yu Shayi, is just an adopted daughter.
At this time, Mu Shaoshen leisurely walked to Song Jiao's side and whispered softly, "Shasha, there is no need for you to be so confrontational with Shayi. She can't threaten your position at all."
Song Jiao moved aside and looked at Mu Shaoshen sharply, "Am I wrong? Didn't you say before that she just wanted this little toy to entertain her parents? Now that I'm back, do you still want me to make room for her?"
When Yu's mother heard this, she nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, yes! Shasha is right! Our Shasha is the darling of the family!"
When Mu Shaoshen heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to do.
After all, just like what Song Jiao said, Yu Shayi was originally just there to entertain Yu's parents.
However, when he accidentally caught a glimpse of Yu Shayi's aggrieved little face, he saw her standing alone in the corner, her eyes full of loneliness, not saying a word, as if she had been forgotten by the whole world.
Mu Shaoshen couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart, and felt a little bit reluctant.
He sighed secretly, thinking that although this girl was only an adopted daughter, she was still a human being after all, and he couldn't embarrass her too much.
At this moment, Yu Shayi's birthday party was drawing to a close. What was supposed to be a grand carnival had now turned into a normal family dinner. All the carefully prepared programs and decorations now seemed a bit redundant and awkward.
Especially the birthday cake, which had been quietly replaced before it was pushed up, and replaced with a more plain and simple style, as if silently announcing the end of the party.
Yu's mother sat aside with a faint smile on her face, but she felt a different feeling in her heart.
She recalled the time when she adopted Yu Shayi. At that time, she just thought that this girl was pretty and looked like a little princess in a skirt. Various luxury goods also made her look more outstanding.
However, now that his biological daughter Song Jiao is back, those external things are naturally no longer important.
She looked at Yu Shayi and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. The feelings in this world are so complicated and subtle.
However, since the biological daughter has returned, then this adopted daughter has enjoyed so many benefits from the Yu family, which can be considered as compensation, right?
Thinking of this, Yu's mother sighed softly, then stood up, walked to Yu Shayi, and patted her shoulder gently, "Shayi, don't be sad, we will still be a family in the future, but... you have to understand your place."
