ruin. There's no supplies here, no need to stay. According to the tip, there's an underground base a hundred miles from here with survivors. We could go check it out."Carter proposed.Then, let's just...Wu Yong fell silent upon hearing this. Although his wife's words were unpleasant, they were indeed true.

“I know I’m not as capable as Zhao Fenglin, but since he has achieved what he has today, he definitely isn't stupid. You shouldn't go too far, or it will be embarrassing for both families in the end. Besides, his wife is my old classmate. You also need to consider my position.”

Wu Yong said this, which also amounted to tacitly approving Wan Guifen's actions.

"I know! Ripple is my child, I raised her with my own hands. I have feelings for her too. Now that the child is getting better and better, it proves that we haven't treated Zhao family's daughter unfairly."

Fiber was also raised with them. If we were to let her come back rashly, I'm afraid they wouldn't be willing to part with her. In this situation, we can consider ourselves to have two daughters.

On the other side, Wu Junyi has already sold his own sister and relayed all of Mian Rou's conversations with her parents to Wu Lianyi.

Wu Lianyi's eyes flashed after hearing this. This woman had quite a few tricks up her sleeve. Since she couldn't gain an advantage in front of Wu Lianyi, she resorted to targeting Wu and his wife instead. However, it was estimated that Wan Guifen would be more than happy about this.

"Hey, little brother! That's your own sister! How could you betray her like that"

"Hmph! Don't think I didn't notice, her disdainful look. She looks down on our family, she looks down on Mom's cooking, and she doesn't even see me as her brother."

Wu Junyi curled his lips, his voice laced with deep resentment.

“That’s why I made you study hard, so that you wouldn’t be looked down upon by others. Respect is something you earn.”

Wu Lianyi sat on her small bed and smiled, saying,

Got it!

There are just a few days left until school starts. For the sake of appearances, Jian Rou comes to the Wu family almost every day, claiming she wants to cultivate their relationship. However, Wu Lian Yi can tell that Jian Rou still sees herself as a guest rather than a member of the Wu family.

As for Wan Gui-fen, she had no such thoughts and therefore didn't care about any of this. Wu Jun-yi simply greeted the other party without being overly friendly or distant.

Zhao Xianrou learned from Wan Guifen that Wu Lianyi wouldn't go to Modu. She would continue to study here and wouldn't even attend university in Modu. This relieved Zhao Xianrou greatly, and she grew even fonder of Wan Guifen.

Scenes of filial piety play out almost every day. Zhao Xianrou has also given Wanmu several pieces of jewelry, making Wanmu always wear a smile.

But the day before she returned to Shanghai, her face wasn't looking good when she left the Wu household. She even ignored Wu Lianyi when they brushed past each other, hurriedly getting into a waiting car and driving away.

Wu Lianyi glanced at the other person and didn't say anything. Anyway, there wouldn't be many chances to meet in the future. Starting tomorrow, she was going to move into a new house. Her belongings had already been moved a few days ago. Her previous room belonged to Wu Jinyi now.

Upon returning to the hotel, Zhao Xianrou felt a sense of panic. As soon as she entered her room, she rushed to the bathroom, shut the door, and leaned against the sink, placing her hand over her heart to calm her racing pulse.

Before leaving today, Wanmu suddenly called her to her bedroom, saying she had a gift for her, and then really gave her a "big gift".

It turned out that she and Wu Lianyi were swapped because of her own biological mother. The reason the other party did this was partly because of her own biological father, and partly because they wanted her to grow up in a better environment.

"Mother, you"

Zhao Xianrou's face was full of surprise.

"Child, I endured being separated from you for seventeen years, raising someone else's child, all for you. Seeing you now, I don't regret my decision back then!"

You should behave well in front of your foster parents. Ripples wasn't raised with them, so the bond isn't as deep. Our connection is stronger, so we'll do our best to keep Ripples here and not interfere with your development in Shanghai.

I don't ask for anything, just hope that in the future you can take good care of Junyi. My husband and I have retirement pensions, we can support ourselves.

After hearing these words, Zhao Xianrou lowered her eyes and just nodded randomly. She grabbed her small handbag and hurried out of the Wu family home.

She knew logically that she should tell her adoptive parents about this, but deep down, she hoped the Wu family would use their upbringing as a way to keep Ripple. She wanted Ripple to return to the Zhao family as late as possible so she would have ample time to fully integrate into the Zhao family.

After all, up until now, she has been the only daughter and sole heir of the Zhao Group. Her fiancé, Yang Ziyue, is also someone she likes. She doesn't want to give up on any of this, even if her status as a foster daughter is exposed. She must handle everything properly.

According to what Mama Wan said, Wu Lianyi will continue her high school studies here. That means for at least the next year, she won't be able to go to Shanghai often. At least until she takes college entrance exams, Mama Wan has fought hard to secure this opportunity for her. She must cherish and make the most of it.

After she mentally prepared herself, she washed her face and walked out of the bathroom. Just then, she saw Zhao's father and Zhou's mother enter the room, so she immediately put on a smile:

"Mom and Dad, you're back! I just said goodbye to my parents. They urged me to return to Shanghai as soon as possible and not delay my studies. I'm all packed and ready to go at any time."

Ok, we're setting off now.

Zhao Fenglin nodded, and the three of them left the hotel they were staying at and drove to the airport.

While waiting in the lounge, Assistant Xiao Han rushed over and whispered two words into Zhao Fenglin's ear.

"Meng Yu, Xian Rou, you two go back by plane first. I just received a message that the Feng family is here. There's a merger deal to discuss here, so you don't have to wait for me."

After finishing his words, he nodded at Zhou Mengyu. The other party immediately understood, her eyes flashed, and then said:

"Then you go busy, and I'll let you know when I and xianrou land safely!"

"Dad, please don't just focus on work. Take care of yourself too and eat three meals on time."

The obedient daughter, with gentle movements, immediately went online and softly instructed.

"Alright, take care of yourselves too."

After finishing his words, he turned and left the waiting area. Xiao Han picked up his boss's travel bag, nodded to the two of them, and followed suit.

Zhao Fenglin returned to the original hotel. After entering the room, his face darkened:

"Let me hear it."

Yes, boss!

Xiao Han immediately stepped forward, pressed a button on a small box, and then Wan Gui Fen's voice came out of it.

"Child, I endured seventeen years of separation from you, raising someone else's child, all for you. Seeing you now, I don't regret my decision! You must behave well in front of your adoptive parents."

Half an hour later, the recording stopped, and Zhao Fenglin's face was frighteningly grim.

"Hmph! Such a kind mother, daring to scheme against the Zhao family! Her ambition is truly great!"

"Boss, what do we do next"

"Set me up with Lianyi. Tomorrow, after she finishes her shift, have her come here to meet me. Avoid the Wu family."

"Yes!"

The next day at noon, Wu Lianyi and Zhao Fenglin sat face-to-face in the hotel room. Wan Guifen's voice echoed in the room.she fell in.The little sister here has calmed down now. She thinks that if their mother dies, she dies, and all her mother's private money will be hers.So once this person had passed away after the pa...
