"Yay!"

He Xinglan let out a series of strange cries, venting her emotions.

"Sister-in-law, did Xue Zhi hypnotize you or something? I heard that stuff is really mysterious..."

He Xinglan was so engrossed in self-analysis that she completely failed to notice Yu Lian's sudden silence.

"Lanlan, can you help me think back to the past? Was I really that bad to your brother?"

"Um... Sister-in-law, do you mean before or after?"

"After that, after the family incident."

"Did my brother or Xue Zhi say something? You're not bad to him at all, you're incredibly good to him. If it weren't for you, our family might not be back now."

Although He Xinglan was exaggerating a bit, Yu Lian truly felt that she had done everything she was supposed to do.

"Lanlan, why is what you said different from what Xue Zhi said? Xue Zhi said your brother has feelings for me, and there are no other reasons involved?"

Yu Lian asked this question almost with certainty, which made He Xinglan, who was already feeling guilty, unable to resist saying, "Sister-in-law, okay, actually I was just afraid you wouldn't agree, but don't worry, the marriage is definitely fake. By the way, I've prepared all the documents for you. You can secretly put your fingerprint on them tonight while my brother is sleeping."

Yu Lian's eyes lit up when she saw the custody transfer agreement.

"Really! Thank you, Lanlan."

"Sister-in-law, since you're helping my brother, I have to help you too. Let's go quickly, maybe my brother and Manman have already arrived, and you can also have a good talk with Manman."

"it is good."

The father and daughter that He Xinglan mentioned had just gotten out of the car and were standing at the door in a stalemate.

Cotton stood up, and without waiting for the two of them, she bit open the door latch and went inside.

"Manman, let me tell you again, Mom is back now and she won't go anywhere else. She'll stay with us. If you disrespect Mom again, I'll send you back to Grandma's. You can come back after you've reflected on your actions."

He Ningxi stubbornly looked away, "I knew you were spineless, she's a bad person!"

"Who spoke ill of Mom in front of you?"

Having been guessed correctly, He Ningxi took a few steps behind him. "No way! I don't need a mother who abandoned her own daughter!"

She pushed open the front gate and walked inside.

Upon entering and seeing the harmonious scene, her anger intensified. "You three traitors!"

"Manman..." Wang Meixia was about to go up and hug her granddaughter when the little girl stormed upstairs.

The three brothers, who had been called traitors, glanced at their sister and then went about their business as if nothing had happened.

He Lin arrived late at this moment. "Mom, don't worry about her. I'll go upstairs and talk to her in a bit."

"You absolutely mustn't scold the child. It's normal for her to harbor resentment towards Xiaolian, after all these years..."

"I'm not going to say anything more, Mom. You and Yu Xin get ready. When Yu Lian comes back, we'll go find... to eat."

He Lin paused for two seconds after saying that, which made Yu Xin burst out laughing.

"No wonder they're father and son; they both dislike my dad because of my sister."

Wang Meixia chuckled twice, "Alright, don't say anything, son-in-law, go upstairs."

Inside the room at this moment.

He Ningxi had already hung up the phone and started packing her luggage.

What are you doing?

"From today onwards, I am severing all ties with you as my daughter. As for that woman, she had nothing to do with me anyway."

He Lin didn't believe that a little kid could say such things.

His intuition told him that someone was up to no good.

"I'll give you one minute to think it over. Tell me who taught you to say that. If you don't, I'll have someone investigate right now, and you know the consequences."

These words successfully panicked He Ningxi.

Although her father never loses his temper in front of her, this time it was really different.

Growing angrier the more she thought about it, He Ningxi refused to back down this time, looking directly at him and saying, "There's no one else, I hate her!"

This time, He Ningxi didn't even take her luggage. She tried to run away, but He Lin grabbed her by the collar and said, "Stay in your room. You can come out whenever you want."

The door was closed, and even locked from the outside.

He Ningxi was so angry that she smashed everything she could on the ground.

For a moment, the sound of ping-pong balls could be heard from downstairs.

The atmosphere was tense, and no one dared to say a word.

Yu Xin whispered to An'an beside her, "An'an, why doesn't your little sister like Mommy? Is it simply because of what happened in the past?"

He Ning'an realized long ago that someone must have instigated this easily fooled younger sister, and coupled with her mother's disregard for her many bad habits, this had triggered a series of conflicts.

"Auntie, I have a way, just wait and see."

He Ning'an patted her younger brother on the shoulder and then whispered a few words to him.

"I'll show you the comic, but remember you can't eat snacks while reading it, and you have to wash your hands thoroughly..."

"Give it to me, brother!"

With her younger brother taking the comic book, He Ning'an reluctantly got up and went upstairs by herself.

Let's start with an introduction.

The crying inside the room hadn't stopped when He Ning'an knocked on the door. No one answered.

"He Ningxi, if you don't stop, I'm going in here and beating you up."

Hearing her older brother's voice, He Ningxi fell silent for a moment.

"Get out!"

He Ning'an stepped inside and whispered, "Mom's back. Does she want you to come down for dinner?"

"No, no, no!"

"Okay, let's eat first, you can go hungry."

He Ningxi was already hungry in the morning and had some snacks, so she was starving now.

Throwing a tantrum is also a physically demanding activity.

However, she was too proud to go out and find something to eat, so she could only vent her frustrations in her room. When she was completely exhausted, she fell asleep in bed.

She had just fallen asleep when she was woken up by a commotion and crying.

Gradually, she could hear clearly what the people outside were saying.

"No way! Why does Mom control everything? I don't want Mom anymore, I want to go back to Grandma's house."

Hearing her second brother say those words, He Ningxi was startled. She hadn't been downstairs for half an hour, so why did they suddenly start arguing?

"Manman, you're right! Let's go back!"

He Ningxi, who was eavesdropping by the door, was startled by her second brother's words.

She no longer felt aggrieved; her attention was entirely focused on the arguing outside the door.

I could still hear my dad getting angry downstairs.

"Oh no! Dad actually hit my second brother! What should we do?"

"He deserves it. Who told him to talk back to his mother and eat so many snacks before meals instead of eating properly? He deserves it."

The voices of the two older brothers faded into the distance, and suddenly the upstairs area returned to silence.

He Ningxi lay back on the bed, pressing her hand against her wildly pounding heart.

*Knock knock knock*—"Manman, are you there? I'm coming to save you."

Then the key was turned into the lock, and the door opened quickly.

He Ningze cautiously entered the room and quietly closed the door.

"Manman, shall we sneak away quietly in a bit?"
