The four great families of Kyoto are not at peace right now.
Because the Wei family's fiancée was He Qiangwei, Wei Zhibin had a big argument with the Wei family head, Wei Dingyun, at home. He said that he wanted to marry Wu Youyou, and if Wei Dingyun wanted to marry He Qiangwei, he should let Wei Dingyun marry her himself. He also said that he didn't mind calling He Qiangwei "stepmother".
Upon hearing this, Wei Dingyun was so angry he almost fainted. He pointed at Wei Zhibin's nose and cursed.
"You little brat, you're incorrigible. When you entered the entertainment industry, don't think I didn't know what you were up to. Wasn't it just because those actresses were pretty and had great figures? Let me tell you, I can't control what you do outside, but I will never agree to you marrying an actress. The Wu family may not be as powerful as our four great families, but at least we have a respectable family background. If they knew your character, would they still dare to marry their daughter to you?"
Seeing that her brother and father's tempers had reached their peak, Wei Ziyao quickly stepped forward, comforting her father while trying to persuade her brother. She walked up to Wei Zhibin and spoke calmly.
“Brother, our Wei family needs a girl with a clean background to marry you as your young mistress, so that Father can have some face in front of other families. Your embarrassing stories have already spread throughout the other families, and I don’t want to mention them, but you don’t really like Wu Youyou. So what difference does it make who you marry? Why not follow Father’s wishes and marry the eldest daughter of the Wu family? Besides, you didn’t even discuss the engagement with the family before, which was wrong of you. He Qiangwei is smart, beautiful, and sensible. She is the most suitable candidate right now. As for Wu Youyou, if you want to pursue her in private, do you think she can escape your clutches?”
Wei Zhibin felt that Wei Ziyao's words made some sense, and he wasn't as angry as before. His face gradually regained a calm smile, and his gaze towards Wei Dingyun became ingratiating.
"Dad, please don't be angry. You only have me as your son. If I get sick from anger, I will be an unfilial son. Please calm down and we will do it your way!"
Wei Dingyun snorted coldly and turned back to his study.
Shi Zhan had returned to the Shi family, and he felt the same coldness as always, but he was used to it. He only visited his grandfather at home and ignored everyone else, which angered the others at home who scolded him for being impolite and wished they could tear him apart.
Song Aotian, the head of the Song family, laughed heartily, beaming with joy upon hearing from Song Shaojie that he had done very well in the recent college entrance examination.
"You've finally made me proud. Once you get into Peking University, let's see who dares to say that our Song family is just a bunch of crude brutes."
Looking at his father's smug expression, Song Shaojie curled his lip and turned to look at his mother with disdain.
"Mom, look at him, he's so unsophisticated. If I don't do well on the exam, I won't dare go back home. I'm afraid he'll beat me to death!"
"You brat, my offspring are naturally destined for greatness. Your good grades mean my latent genes have been activated by you, so don't be ungrateful!"
Song Shaojie quickly pulled his mother away from the battlefield. If they didn't leave, he couldn't bear his father's so-called pride any longer.
And at this moment!
In an abandoned house in the backyard of the Xiao family villa, Xiao Yiqing stared at the person in front of her with fear in her eyes. She never expected that her sister was still alive. Her fear was mixed with disgust.
"It's you? Weren't you dead?"
Han Shuzhen was kidnapped and taken to the Xiao family. She knew this day would come sooner or later, but she never expected that the person who kidnapped her would be Xiao Yiqing, not Xiao Ran. Xiao Yiqing was her beloved younger sister, but later... Han Shuzhen's eyes gradually dimmed.
After not seeing her for many years, his younger sister had grown exceptionally beautiful, but the aura she exuded was quite unsettling; she had a faint smell of blood about her.
Such a comical encounter made Han Shuzhen burst out laughing, her gaze towards Xiao Yiqing carrying a hint of pity.
"So many years have passed, and you're still alive?"
Xiao Yiqing didn't know if Han Shuzhen had gone mad or if she had misheard.
"You actually asked me if I'm still alive? Are you crazy? I grew up in the Xiao family, eating the best food, living the best life, enjoying endless wealth and luxury, a life that many girls can only dream of. And you actually ask me if I'm still alive? Let me tell you, I don't want to live too well!"
Han Shuzhen shook her head slightly, her gaze towards Xiao Yiqing gradually turning cold.
"Now that you've brought me back, tell me, how do you plan to torture me?"
Xiao Yiqing's gaze towards Han Shuzhen was filled with sharpness.
"You've ruined my reputation, used me to help a nobody like Wu Youyou, and killed her nemesis. You're even worse than me!"
Han Shuzhen's heart skipped a beat. How did she know about these things?
Upon closer reflection, he realized that Ah Fei must have betrayed him, and a sense of unease immediately filled him.
"This matter has nothing to do with Wu Youyou?"
"You care about her that much? The way you worry about her is just like how you worried about me back then. It's really touching. Do you like her a lot?"
As Xiao Yiqing spoke, she gave a strange laugh. Han Shuzhen knew that her younger sister always acted on her whims, never considering right or wrong, and a sense of unease crept into her heart.
"Xiao Yiqing, I'm warning you, you're not allowed to touch Wu Youyou!"
"You're getting excited already. It seems you really like her. Tell me, what do you think if I brought her to keep you company?"
"You dare!"
"Oh—so fierce, what are you worried about? Let me guess, oh—maybe you're afraid she'll run away! Don't worry, once I catch her, I'll cut off her legs so she can stay with you forever!"
