Reborn, I am doing involution on Jinshan

When she returned home, her mother, brother, and adoptive parents, a family of five, warmly welcomed her. This time, none of them wore formal attire; they were all dressed casually. Her adoptive mother, Ma Xiaoling, sat in a wheelchair, wearing a brown dress. She looked fine, though a large gauze bandage wrapped around her right leg was a bit awkward.

Yin Donghua, the big black girl from Gisep, was standing behind her with a wheelchair in her hands. She had straight chestnut hair that reached her shoulders. She was wearing an orange leopard-print leather jacket, black slim jeans, and black knee-high boots. Her eyes were big and bright, full of a wild beauty. She smiled at her with her big white teeth, but didn't say anything.

Seeing the familiar faces of her family, Men Yinxiaoyao felt a little more at ease. Among them was a strange middle-aged man who seemed to have come prepared.

The originally small living room seemed a bit crowded. The sofa was covered with shopping bags, and there were five shopping bags on the dining table.

Soon after everyone sat down and exchanged pleasantries, the adoptive mother and Donghua came over. Ma Xiaoling, the adoptive mother, held up a document with many signatures on it. She said gently, "Xiaoyao, we've discussed this with your biological parents and have agreed that you can restore your surname to Deng. It's time for you to return to your family. As for the inheritance that Grandma Liu Xiang of the Yin family promised you, we respect the decision of our ancestors and will keep it unchanged. It all belongs to you."

Our household registration books are no longer in our hometown of Yanzigang. We only have our passports. I heard that inheritance is very complicated. "Your grandmother's property in the Yin family must be claimed by someone. We can't let it go to the local government. Even if it's donated, it must be in your name representing the Yin family." Her words were snobbish, and Yin Xiaoyao could only listen passively.

Adoptive father Yin Zhaoliang patted his head, giving him an awkward smile. "My child, we're destined to be father and daughter. Actually, I'm just a foster father who's been absent for a long time in name only. Thank you so much for everything you've done for the Yin family, and for taking care of Grandma Yin's death. As the eldest son of the Yin family, I respect that my mother's will designates you as the person designated. Brother Chenjun, have you started recording?"

Deng Chenjun answered from the side, "Uncle Yin, they're already recording."

Only then did Yin Xiaoyao notice the young people. The three siblings were surrounding their younger brother and studying a camera with a video recording function.

She wore black leather shoes, dark blue Apple jeans, and a light blue V-neck cashmere coat. She had a clean, refined appearance, a striking resemblance to her adoptive mother, Ma Xiaoling. Her slightly older brother, Yin Letong, happened to glance over, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. Of all the women in the room, Yin Xiaoyao was the tallest. He was secretly mumbling, "Girls change a lot when they grow up, and my adopted sister is getting more and more beautiful."

No wonder Chu Shihan, a love-struck man, was obsessed with her, despite his father's death order forbidding any romance with her. And Duan Qingyang, the eldest son of the Duan family, was so relentless in his pursuit of her that he even broke his contract and replaced her with someone else. Such a sexy beauty was truly worth a man's fortune, a once-in-a-millennium phenomenon.

At this moment, he took out a small red jewelry box from his pocket and said politely, "Sister Yao, long time no see. I prepared a meeting gift for you. I hope you like it."

Yin Xiaoyao was slightly stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally reached out to take the box and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Le. I'm sorry for the expense."

Opening the box, she found an exquisite leaf-shaped jade pendant paired with a platinum necklace, which was a bit surprising. Yin Letong explained, "This jade is green enough, and it's said to symbolize protection. I hope it will bring you good luck and protect you forever, turning misfortune into good fortune."

A warm feeling welled up in Yin Xiaoyao's heart. "Brother Le, this gift is very precious. I like it very much."

Yin Letong smiled, but his eyes were a little complicated.

At this moment, the strange middle-aged man spoke: "Ms. Deng, I am Dong Shenghua, the lawyer responsible for handling matters related to Mrs. Yin's estate. Mr. and Mrs. Yin were in a hurry to make an appointment at the last minute, and I forgot to take out the relevant documents. Please listen to me patiently.

In addition to the properties mentioned above, there's also a mysterious seaside estate that's part of the estate. However, that estate seems to be holding some secrets, and the Yin family has been keeping the news secret. You'll need to personally claim it with our legal team. The will stipulates that you can only inherit it when you turn 28. Considering your unemployment and pregnancy, the shareholders' meeting has decided to allocate a portion of the dividends for your living expenses. It's approximately RMB per month, which isn't a lot, but should be enough for you and your child. Please write me your bank account number later."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and Yin Xiaoyao was filled with even more confusion. She felt as if she had been swept into a vast, unknown vortex. She looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces around her, secretly determined to uncover the truth, whether it was the secrets behind the inheritance or the complex relationships involved in her own life.

Ma Xiaoling, the adoptive mother, looked at Xiaoyao, who seemed a little confused, and smiled softly, "Xiaoyao, this is a small compensation from us as your elders. You have been wronged by this marriage with the Duan family. I hope you don't blame your adoptive father. It was just a temporary solution. As long as I am in the Yin family, I will never do anything to harm your interests again. Please do not harbor any resentment. Will you forgive your adoptive father?"

Mother Xu Xianglian then spoke, "Nannan, I know you've suffered a lot in the past, but it's all over. But things will get better in the future, and we can start over." Xiaoyao nodded slightly, a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes.

At this time, the strange middle-aged man spoke again, "Ms. Deng, I am the legal advisor for the Yin family business in mainland China. I need to discuss some details with you regarding your inheritance of the Yin family estate and the many matters concerning your return to the family. Please come to our law office whenever you are free."

Xiaoyao's heart tightened, feeling that she was about to step into a complicated situation. "Okay, I will cooperate."

His younger brother, Deng Chenjun, chimed in, "Lawyer Dong, whether to accept or not, I think I still need to ask my father's opinion. It doesn't seem right for my sister to restore her last name to Deng and then accept the Yin family's wealth, does it?"

As the only male in the Deng family, he thought it over and bravely expressed his opinion. Severing rather than continuing seemed more friendly to his sister. The Yin family ostensibly respected their ancestors' will and gave all their property to his sister, but in reality, it was more like a sugarcoated bullet, using benefits to bind Yin Xiaoyao to the Yin family as a slave or a pawn.

Lawyer Dong Shenghua pushed his glasses up and said calmly, "Young Master Deng's concerns are not without reason. However, the old lady of the Yin family's will is legally binding. If Miss Deng refuses, the procedures and consequences will be quite complicated."

Yin Xiaoyao bit her lip and thought for a long time before saying, "Lawyer Dong, can you give me a few days to think about it? After all, this concerns the direction of my life."

Lawyer Dong nodded in understanding. His adoptive father Yin Zhaoliang opened the two shopping bags on the dining table. They turned out to be several kinds of cakes and snacks. The hungry people rushed over, and Lawyer Dong Shenghua was naturally invited to taste the food.

Yin Letong quietly approached her, "Sister Yao, I know you're confused right now. Actually, the Yin family is very complicated. Legend has it that the seaside manor hides something that can control the lifeblood of the entire family. That's why they're eager to let you take over so they can transfer the risk to you."

Yin Xiaoyao's eyes widened. "Brother Le, why are you telling me this?"

Yin Ledong smiled bitterly, "I don't want to see you being deceived, but maybe you are the real mistress of the manor, or you can crack its secret. If you think of grandma's kindness in raising you, you should accept it. Since grandma designated you as the only heir, there must be a special reason. Aren't you curious?" He asked instead of answering.

"Then brother, you will definitely help me forever, right?" Yin Xiaoyao understood, took a deep breath, and made a decision in her heart.

Yin Letong looked at her with deep black eyes, pursed his thin lips, and finally nodded, "Of course, as the eldest son, I also hope that the family will prosper. Helping you is also helping ourselves."
