In the early morning, a ray of warm sunlight shone into Yan Xiluo's room, landing directly on her face, and the person on the bed slowly opened her eyes.
I checked the time; it was only a little past six. I turned on my computer, processed a few files, and then lay down to take another nap.
hall
"Ranran, come to Mommy's side."
Li Shuwen called Yan Yinran, who had finished breakfast, to her side.
Yan Yinran sat down next to Li Shuwen.
Upon seeing this, Yan Youting put down the newspaper he was reading and looked at Yan Yinran with a serious expression.
"Ranran, Mom and Dad have something very important to tell you now."
It was bound to happen eventually. I knew my parents would send me away once they had their own daughter.
"Dad, please tell me."
Yan Yinran appeared calm on the surface, but her mind was in complete turmoil.
"Ranran, here's what happened. A few days ago, Dad received a call from the hospital where your mother gave birth eighteen years ago. At that time, three families gave birth at the same time, and due to some accidents, the babies from all three families were switched at birth..."
Having raised his daughter for eighteen years, no matter how bad she might be, Yan Youting couldn't help but feel reluctant to part with her, having been pampered and spoiled since childhood.
"Now that we've confirmed you're a member of the Bai family and your father is still alive, your parents feel it's only right and proper for you to see your biological father, isn't it? If he treats you well, you should stay with him; after all, blood is thicker than water!"
Yan Youting spoke earnestly to Yan Yinran, hoping she could understand this principle.
"Ranran, your parents didn't kick you out. They just wanted you to come home and visit. If they treat you badly over there, you can come back and be your parents' adopted daughter and live with them."
Li Shuwen still loves this daughter from the bottom of her heart. If they treat her badly over there, she can just come back. The Yan family can afford to raise her!
No, no, she didn't want to leave. She wanted to continue enjoying wealth and luxury in the Yan family, and she even wanted more...
But given the current situation, she cannot refuse, nor can she reveal her ambitions; there must be a way to resolve it.
"Okay, Mom and Dad, I'll do as you say."
No matter how unwilling Yan Yinran was, she had no choice but to agree.
She pretended to cry and wipe away tears, saying, "It's just that your daughter can't bear to leave you, and her brothers too."
Yan Yinran cried so hard that her face was streaked with tears, making her look pitiful.
But Yan Youting and Li Shuwen didn't see through this little scheme, perhaps because they had lived together for so many years.
"Silly child, going back to your life isn't the end of the world. It's not like you can't come back to see your parents. The Yan family is still your home!"
Li Shuwen stroked Yan Yinran's head.
"Also, our dear daughter has been back for a while now. Today, your parents will introduce you two to each other. You two sisters should get along well!"
Yan Youting still hopes that his two daughters can get along well.
Get along well? Probably not! She came back and took everything that belonged to me—my status, my parents, my fiancé! Yan Yinran thought viciously to herself.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely get along well with her."
"Originally, your parents planned to tell you when you came back near the end of summer vacation. Since you're back early, we'll put this matter on the agenda. Your father is also very anxious. In a few days, your parents will have Uncle Ye drive you back. How about you spend these few days with your parents?"
Li Shuwen shared her thoughts with Yan Yinran.
A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Yinran's eyes. It seemed her parents still cared about her. She had to seize this opportunity to perform well. Maybe they would soften their hearts and let her stay!
"Okay, sure! I knew Mom and Dad were the best to me!"
Yan Yinran smiled and put her arm around Yan Youting's arm, resting her head on his shoulder, while holding Li Shuwen's hand with her other hand.
Second floor
Yan Xiluo yawned sleepily, stretched, scratched her hair, and sat up.
I've finally slept enough... Time to get up.
Yan Xiluo went to the washbasin, washed up, and did some simple skincare. She usually prefers to go makeup-free because her skin is so natural that she doesn't need makeup at all.
After changing her clothes, Yan Xiluo went downstairs. She had been back for several days but hadn't had a proper chance to explore the house. She planned to find someone to take her around and show her the sights.
Seeing Yan Yinran sitting downstairs with her parents, Yan Xiluo wasn't surprised at all; after all, she had just seen her last night…
Conversely, when Yan Yinran saw Yan Xiluo, her jaw dropped. How could she be here? Could she be the biological daughter her parents were talking about? Was she planning to tell her parents about what happened last night?!
Yan Xiluo was watching Yan Yinran with amusement, which made Yan Yinran feel uneasy...
No, I have to have a serious talk with her, otherwise if my parents find out what happened last night, how can I stay here!
"Luo Luo, come and sit down."
Yan Youting was in a good mood when he saw his daughter come down.
Yan Xiluo sat down next to Yan Youting.
"Good morning, Dad and Mom. I've been so tired these past few days that I woke up a little late today."
"It's not too late, Mom wants you to sleep a little longer!"
Li Shuwen looked at Yan Xiluo with a grin.
"Ranran, this is the biological daughter your parents told you about, Yan Xiluo. Luoluo, this is Yan Yinran. For the past ten years or so, your parents have raised and pampered her as their own daughter. You are both your father's daughters, and your parents hope that you can get along well and address each other as sisters. Since Luoluo is our biological child, she should be our older sister. Ranran, quickly call her older sister."
Yan Youting introduced the two to each other, unaware that they had met the night before and that Yan Yinran had done something so outrageous.
"elder sister."
Yan Yinran gave a feigned shout, while secretly plotting how to deal with Yan Xiluo.
"Dad, Mom, we met yesterday..."
Before Yan Xiluo could finish speaking, Yan Yinran hurriedly interrupted.
"Yes, I met with my sister yesterday, and there was a small misunderstanding. I apologized to her in front of Mom and Dad."
Yan Yinran was terrified that Yan Xiluo would reveal what happened last night. She deliberately set this up, apologizing in front of her parents. If Yan Xiluo still wouldn't let it go, her parents would think she was petty and would lose their goodwill towards her.
Yan Xiluo raised an eyebrow and gave Yan Yinran a disdainful smile.
"Oh? A little misunderstanding?"
"Sister, I know I did something wrong yesterday. I'm sorry. I promise I will never do it again."
Yan Yinran pretended to cry as she spoke, knowing that her parents were most susceptible to this act.
Her acting was terrible, but oh well, I'll let it go in front of my parents to avoid them thinking she's heartless. Last night was a small lesson for her. After all, her parents raised her for 18 years; if they knew she was so arrogant and domineering, they probably wouldn't be happy.
"Luo Luo, did Ran Ran do something to upset you?"
Li Shuwen asked anxiously, torn between the child she had raised for eighteen years and her biological daughter whom she had just brought home.
"It's nothing serious, just don't do it again."
She couldn't bear to see Li Shuwen like this.
"Ranran, hurry up and thank your sister for not holding it against you."
Yan Youting said sternly, of course he didn't want his two daughters to have a conflict, so he quickly tried to smooth things over.
