The transmigrated younger sister of a powerful figure in a novel is forced to become the beloved pet

It was all just his wishful thinking; when the truth came out, it was all a scam.

For a moment, no one spoke. In the cold and solemn atmosphere, only the sound of Yuan Yangyang cracking sunflower seeds and Lan Sitong's oblivious yet impatient expression could be heard.

Upon hearing this shocking news, Lan Xingyao was deeply shaken.

He was in a complete mess at that moment, his mind a jumbled mess, like a paste.

I can't care about the purpose of my visit today anymore; I just want to get back as soon as possible and investigate the information I've heard.

Lan Xingyao forced a stiff smile, bowed deeply to Mr. Yuan, and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Yuan. I suddenly remembered that I have something to take care of back home and I have to go back immediately. Please forgive me."

"Lan Sitong is being immature, please don't take it to heart. I apologize to you again on her behalf."

"I will tell Father everything about this matter, and I will also leave Lan Sitong to Father to handle."

"I won't bother you any longer today. I'll visit you another day."

The Yuan family members repeatedly expressed their understanding and urged him to hurry back and get back to work.

Just kidding, they need time to digest such a big piece of gossip.

Moreover, judging from Lan Xingyao's reaction, he should be able to hear Yuan Yangyang's thoughts. His eagerness to go back is probably because he wants to investigate the truth as soon as possible.

They naturally wouldn't stop them when such a big thing happened in their family.

Having gone through so much, they knew very well that the Lan family's story was most likely true.

However, they could only pretend they knew nothing and could not reveal a single thing to Lan Xingyao.

However, with the Lan family's connections, finding out the truth is not difficult.

The real challenge is figuring out how to resolve the issue.

For both President Lan and Lan Xingyao, facing betrayal from their closest relatives is no easy task.

[Huh, why did they leave? Weren't they here to apologize?]

I thought Lan Sitong and Yuan Niaoniao were going to have another exciting dogfight, but their fighting strength is lacking!

[Yuan Niaoniao has disappeared somewhere; it's a pity she missed such a good show.]

Lan Sitong was also a little confused; she was feeling quite upset.

Why should she have to come and apologize, while that bitch Yuan Niaoniao can hide away?

If we're going to lose face together, then if she doesn't make things difficult for Yuan Niaoniao in front of the Yuan family, she's not Lan Sitong.

As a result, before she could even show off her skills, Lan Xingyao, whose face was ashen, pulled her outside.

"Why are you pulling me? Are you feeling guilty because of what I said? Uncle Yuan, I have to remind you, Yuan Niaoniao may look like a pure and innocent flower in front of you, but she is actually very cunning. Every single one of you in the Yuan family will be plotted against by her sooner or later."

Lan Sitong was unwilling to leave like this, and struggled hard while showing no mercy in her words.

"Shut up!" Lan Xingyao, unable to bear it any longer, slapped Lan Sitong hard across the face, instantly turning a large red mark.

"You dare hit me, Lan Xingyao? I'll tell Mom and she'll punish you severely."

Lan Sitong covered her face, momentarily in disbelief, then erupted into hysteria.

Upon hearing this, Lan Xingyao seemed to have triggered some kind of mechanism; the originally gentle and harmless person immediately raised his defenses, becoming cold and hard.

Yes, from childhood to adulthood, whenever Lan Sitong was dissatisfied with anything, he would complain to his mother, and then he would be punished in ways that even his father knew very little about.

It could be a completely dark room, it could be withholding dinner as a minor punishment, or it could be kneeling or even being whipped.

The reasons given each time were extremely perfunctory, nothing more than that the brother had to protect his sister and couldn't make her unhappy.

After each punishment, his mother would call him over, hug him gently, and tell him that she loved him.

Even when he was young, he would hope that his mother would punish him more often, because only after being punished could he get a hug.

But Lan Sitong gets to have a warm embrace every day.

He was young then and lacked discernment; he only thought about not making his mother unhappy and even promised her that he wouldn't tell his father about the punishment.

Looking back now, I realize how foolish I was.

What you get by begging will never be love.

Just as Lan Sitong was about to throw a tantrum at Lan Xingyao as she always did, she immediately shut her mouth when she met Lan Xingyao's cold, dark eyes. She unconsciously took a half step back and dared not utter another word.

Lan Xingyao was truly terrifying; his eyes looked like he wanted to devour her alive.

It didn't look like he was looking at his sister; it looked more like he was looking at an enemy.

Throughout the journey, Lan Sitong huddled in the back seat of the car like a quail, barely daring to breathe.

Lan Sitong finally breathed a sigh of relief after dropping her off at her apartment building.

As she watched the car speed away, her fear dissipated, and Lan Sitong's previously suppressed anger surged wildly.

Clutching her throbbing face, Lan Sitong dialed her phone with a contorted expression.

"Mom, you need to control my brother! How dare he hit me..."

Lan Xingyao's side was not at peace either. After careful consideration, he decided to investigate on his own first. If things were really as he had heard in his heart, he would tell his father everything and leave the decision to his father.

In this family, the only person who made him feel loved was his father.

Although he loved Lan Sitong more, Lan Xingyao could sense that his father also cared about him, only in a deeper and more subtle way.

……

Only after the Lan siblings had completely disappeared from sight did the Yuan family father and sons finally feel relieved.

Yuan Sicheng let out a long sigh of relief, muttering, "As expected, the most poisonous heart is that of a woman. One minute she's best friends with Yuan Niaoniao, the next she wants to trample Yuan Niaoniao into the mud."

[Oh! You almost lost all your bitter tea seeds in the scheme, and you still have the mind to stand up for Yuan Niaoniao? What a good brother you are!]

As soon as Yuan Yangyang uttered her sarcastic thoughts, Yuan's father and Yuan Siyu both looked at him, especially the third brother. He didn't show it on his face, but the daggers in his eyes looked like he wanted to chop him up in anger.

Yuan Sicheng shrank his neck and mumbled, "I was just saying it casually. Besides, Lan Sitong's words included our whole family. She actually dared to curse us. Letting her leave like this is too good for her!"

[Hmph! What's wrong with what she said? In the original book, weren't you all schemed to death by Yuan Niaoniao?]

Yuan Yang's thoughts raced as she looked at the people in front of her.

The third son was stabbed to death by a patient's family member, dying with the stigma of medical malpractice, his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Yuan Siyu: ...

Here we go again. When will this end? Is it necessary to drag him out and whip his corpse again and again? He has a shame.

[The fourth brother was drugged and involved in a threesome. Not only did he contract a sexually transmitted disease, but he was also exposed online and publicly humiliated. From an e-sports star to a pariah, he also had to endure physical pain. He suffered in every aspect, both mentally and physically.]

It's like being slowly cut with a dull knife, or having your heart scorched over a low flame—you see no blood, but it's deadly.

Yuan Sicheng: ...

Please, stop summarizing, he's already learned his lesson.

[My adoptive father was even worse off. His company was in deep crisis, and he didn't even have time to see a doctor because of heart problems. Just when things were finally looking up, he got into a car accident on his way to meet the other party and died on the spot. It was tragic, so tragic!]

Father Yuan: ...

It seems he needs to take some time to go to the hospital for a proper check-up; he doesn't want to be plagued by illness.

My dear daughter, you don't even spare your own father, you're truly my own daughter.

Okay, okay, is this how you play it? Then nobody can escape.
