I was born and listened to my neighbor's older sister talk about her family of origin.

Looking in the direction of Xu Zhiyu's gaze, Song Zixuan was genuinely curious about what it was about Jiang Ye that made her go to such lengths.

Not only were Song Changhui and Cheng Jinglan sent away, but he was also made to act in this play.

He had no idea what the purpose was.

This older sister terrified him; the feeling she gave him was even more chilling than that of his stern father.

Actually, he didn't like Xu Zhiyu when he first met her.

Less than a year after his mother died, his father returned with a woman who also had a child with her.

He hated Cheng Jinglan and this sister who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and he hated his father even more.

What he was thinking just now was his true thought at that time.

These two are just gold diggers, penniless bastards. I don't know what kind of seductive tricks they used to climb into the Song family's door!

Until Xu Zhiyu caught him red-handed.

Because his father disciplined him too strictly, Song Zixuan appeared obedient at home, but in reality, due to his rebellious nature, he had long been extremely rebellious.

They secretly dated, fought, and went to bars—they did everything.

He thought he had done a good job of concealing it, because he had kept it from his father for a long time, mainly because he was a really good actor.

He felt he had the talent to be a movie star.

However, Xu Zhiyu still discovered him, even though he was a future movie star.

Two months ago, I don't know how this guy did it, but when he was kissing his girlfriend, he turned around and saw Xu Zhiyu appear next to him like a ghost, smiling at them.

Even though the junior high and elementary school sections are far apart, she showed up there!

What's the difference between this and a ghost?

His first thought was to curse, and his second thought was fear.

They were afraid that Xu Zhiyu would tell on them.

Because Song Changhui really likes Xu Zhiyu.

This older sister was very well-behaved and sensible from the moment she entered the Song family, and she was also very smart.

She excels in both dance and academics, and her etiquette and demeanor are near perfect even at high-end banquets.

Xu Zhiyu is now quite well-known in Haicheng's high-society socialite circles, and no one looks down on her because she is not the Song family's biological daughter.

As for Song Zixuan, his academic performance was barely average at school, and the piano lessons that Song Changhui forced him to learn didn't improve much either; he hadn't even won a single award yet.

Song Changhui is a very rigid and serious person. He is usually very strict with Song Zixuan, arranging for him to attend various tutoring classes and raising him from a young age to be a qualified heir to a wealthy family.

If Xu Zhiyu complains, Song Changhui will definitely believe her and thus find out that he was involved in a fight during his early romantic relationship.

I'll definitely use family discipline on him then, and beat him so badly he can't get out of bed!

Fortunately, Song Zixuan had received professional training and knew that he must not panic when he needed to.

So he immediately put on a perfect performance, threatening Xu Zhiyu that she must never reveal his secret.

Xu Zhiyu agreed.

He thought she was scared.

As a result, not long after, Xu Zhiyu caught him fighting again!

At that moment, he and his men were cornering a boy in the restroom and beating him up, while Xu Zhiyu was recording the scene on her phone at the door!

Now that the evidence was irrefutable, he was completely under Xu Zhiyu's control!

Even if he beat up that boy because he secretly filmed his girlfriend.

At that moment, he realized that this guy was doing it on purpose.

She's got her eye on me!

Their purpose is self-evident: either to control him or to ensure that the mother and daughter could live better in the Song family.

Or perhaps there's a deeper purpose.

But Song Zixuan knew that he was no match for this scheming and cunning woman!

After that, as Xu Zhiyu instructed, he treated her coldly in front of Song Changhui and Cheng Jinglan.

But behind her back, they obediently call her "sister".

The hardships involved are beyond what outsiders can understand.

The only good thing is that his acting skills are getting better every day, and now he can completely control his performance!

If I become an actor in the future, I will definitely be far ahead of everyone else.

However, Song Zixuan would never allow Xu Zhiyu to control him like this!

You used to be invincible, nothing could stump you.

But now, things are different!

You have a weakness!

Thinking of that Jiang Ye from earlier, Song Zixuan narrowed his eyes and smiled sinisterly.

He had never seen Xu Zhiyu care about someone so much, nor had he ever seen this scheming woman smile so innocently!

She's quite the actor.

You like him, don't you?

That being the case.

If I can't handle you, can't I handle that kid?

That kid is just a bit good at games, a bit strong, and a bit handsome, but that's not much of an advantage for him!

With the Song family's power and influence, it would be incredibly easy for them to manipulate this poor boy behind Xu Zhiyu's back!

I'm putting on airs in front of you now! One day you'll be begging for mercy on your knees!

Thinking of that scene, Song Zixuan almost burst out laughing.

He quickly coughed twice to cover himself up and looked at Xu Zhiyu.

"Ahem, well... sister, I behaved so well today, could you please delete the video too?"

Xu Zhiyu gave him a cryptic look.

"Hmm, is that the video of you fighting in the bathroom?"

Yes, yes.

Song Zixuan nodded quickly.

"Sure."

Xu Zhiyu nodded, took out her phone, and deleted the videos from her photo album.

After doing all this, she even showed her phone to Song Zixuan, assuring him that there were no backups.

Deleted!!

Song Zixuan was very excited, but he quickly calmed down and became serious.

This cunning woman would never so easily discard the evidence she had against him; there must be something else waiting for him behind the scenes.

He cannot let his guard down!

"Oh, thank you, sister."

"That person can go do their homework now, I won't bother you anymore."

Song Zixuan's voice was almost strained as he gave Xu Zhiyu a feigned harmless smile before turning and leaving.

The moment he turned his back to Xu Zhiyu, his smile vanished, replaced by a resolute and profound expression. He imagined himself as the protagonist in a spy thriller, his back to Xu Zhiyu as he walked away with a somber air.

Looking at his appearance, Xu Zhiyu couldn't help but chuckle softly.

To be honest, she didn't really intend to keep using those things to threaten her stepson; she just needed him to put on an act in front of Jiang Ye.

She really deleted the video; there were no backups.

This thing shouldn't be kept for too long.

It would be one thing if Song Changhui or Cheng Jinglan saw it, but if it were accidentally seen by outsiders and spread, it would not benefit anyone and would damage the Song family's reputation.

Now she is considered part of the Song family; their fortunes are intertwined, and their losses are shared.

The video must be deleted.
