"Why isn't my brother back yet? I'm starving."

The air fell silent for a moment, then Yuan Sicheng spoke again.

Father Yuan frowned, looked at the sky; dusk was falling, and it would soon be dark.

Yuan Siyu took out his phone and sent a message to his boss, Yuan Sizhe. Looking at the reply, he heard him say...

"My brother said he couldn't leave his company for the time being, so he told us to eat first and he would be back later."

[Is he busy suppressing Yuan Niaoniao's trending topics? What a good brother! Yuan Niaoniao's photos are all over the internet, he couldn't possibly keep up with it all.]

[Haha, it's like a tired ox panting and panting, trying to comfort others: "Almost done, you guys eat first, I'll be back after I finish plowing this hill."]

【Ha ha ha ha】

Well, the Yuan family members immediately pictured it in their minds.

It must be said that the description is very accurate.

Isn't my older brother now just a hardworking ox toiling away for Yuan Niaoniao?

The air fell silent for a moment, and only Yuan's father's face darkened even more.

"Third brother, go tell your eldest brother that if he doesn't come back in half an hour, he doesn't need to come back."

"He's busy all day long, but I haven't seen the company increase in value much. What is he busy with? If he's not capable, he should step down and let someone more capable take over."

[Exactly! He's got nothing better to do than sit in the toilet and waste his time. All he does is fawn over Yuan Niaoniao. He'll ruin the whole family fortune sooner or later.]

Everyone tried their best to control their expressions and not be distracted by Yuan Yangyang's words.

In fact, Yuan's father knew that Yuan Sizhe was quite capable, one of the best among the younger generation, and had a good business sense.

But her usually clear-headed son becomes confused whenever Yuan Niaoniao is involved.

This isn't the first time either.

In the past, he would turn a blind eye, thinking that Yuan Sizhe was just valuing his family and there was nothing wrong with that.

But ever since he learned about what Yuan Niaoniao had been doing behind their backs, he couldn't bring himself to let his son continue to be Yuan Niaoniao's sucker.

Thinking back to what Yangyang had mentioned in his heart, the company's final problems were also due to Yuan Niaoniao. He had been wondering why Yuan Niaoniao was so capable, even though she held no position in the company, she was able to create such a huge hidden danger in his company.

It now seems that Yuan Niaoniao's ability to carry out her underhanded tactics so smoothly at the company is probably largely due to Yuan Sizhe's mindless indulgence of her.

We need to get rid of the boss's bias towards Yuan Niaoniao as soon as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting such a large company to someone who isn't 100% calm and rational.

"Alright, let's eat first, we won't wait for him." To avoid hearing anything unpleasant, Mr. Yuan quickly urged everyone to start eating.

Yuan Yangyang was the first to rush to the dining table and sit in her reserved seat for the past few days.

Yuan Niaoniao curled her lips, cursing inwardly for being ill-mannered, while still making snide remarks.

"Yangyang, stand up quickly, Dad hasn't started yet, why are you..."

[Little green tea, here we go again?]

Before Yuan Yangyang could speak, her father waved his hand and said, "It's alright, we don't need to be so formal at home."

Yuan Yangyang chimed in, "That's right. I'm at home, not a guest, so being comfortable is the most important thing."

"You're not as good as me in this respect. Although you're not the Yuan family's biological daughter, you still grew up in the Yuan family. How can you be so distant? This really hurts Dad's feelings!"

Fearing she might not provoke the other party, Yuan Yangyang deliberately emphasized the words "her own home." Only when she saw Yuan Niaoniao's face turn ugly because of her words did she give up.

It's just tea, who's afraid of who!

Everyone's eyes turned to Yuan Niaoniao, waiting for her to speak.

Yuan Yangyang's sudden change of style caught Yuan Niaoniao off guard, leaving her with a stiff face as she tried to explain.

"How could that be? Yangyang, you're overthinking it. I just think we should respect our elders and be well-mannered. Besides, even though you're not a child of the Yuan family, you still live here. Your words and actions shouldn't bring shame to the Yuan family..."

"Shut up!" Before Yuan Niaoniao could finish speaking, her father immediately shouted with a livid face.

"I've said before that I'll treat Yuan Yangyang like my own daughter. Did you just ignore me?"

Yuan's father already felt very sorry for his daughter for not revealing her true identity to the public and letting her live here under the guise of an imposter.

If this matter weren't so important, concerning the safety of everyone in the Yuan family, he wouldn't want Yangyang to suffer any injustice and would have been eager to reveal Yangyang's identity to the public immediately.

Then I kicked Yuan Niaoniao, that troublemaker, out; I couldn't stand it for even a moment longer.

There's no way she'll be allowed to make a scene here.

The father's gaze toward Yuan Niaoniao was icy cold, as if it could freeze a person, and a flash of disgust crossed his eyes.

For a moment, no one spoke. Even the servants who were about to serve the dishes fell silent, too afraid to step forward.

Yuan Niaoniao felt a sudden change in temperature, her face burning as if it had been on fire, but her body was frozen by her father's gaze, unable to move.

It took him a long while to recover, and he managed to speak with a stiff body.

"Dad, I know I was wrong, I won't do it again next time."

Seeing that Mr. Yuan did not pursue the matter further, he quickly found a seat and dared not speak again.

[Wow! This little green tea b*tch can be honest sometimes, that's rare. My cheapskate dad can be quite intimidating when he's angry.]

Yuan Niaoniao's words easily broke Yuan's father's composure, and his anger subsided somewhat.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Yuan Yangyang was one of helplessness and heartache.

This carefree attitude... I wonder how much hardship he's endured outside to develop his current invulnerability.

The Yuan brothers had also thought of this. Although they didn't have many opportunities to interact with girls on a daily basis, they knew that those rich young ladies valued their reputation the most.

If someone makes sarcastic remarks about me being ill-mannered or having a bad temper, I'll definitely get into a fight; getting my hair pulled is the least of my worries.

Even someone with a weak temper would probably burst into tears.

Unlike Yuan Yangyang, who was indifferent and acted as if she hadn't heard anything.

This commonplace reaction only made them feel more sorry for them.

Yuan Siyu's seat was closest to Yuan Yangyang's, so he immediately picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and placed it on the plate in front of Yuan Yangyang.

"eat more."

Mr. Yuan quickly served food to Yuan Yangyang, his voice filled with heartache.

"You're so thin. Tell Dad what you want to eat, and Auntie will make it for you next time."

Yuan Sicheng, who was sitting opposite Yuan Yangyang, stood up anxiously upon seeing this and walked over with the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Don't say your fourth brother doesn't love you. You can eat as much of your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs as you want, as much as you want!"

As he spoke, he placed half a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs in front of Yuan Yangyang.

Perhaps because it was his first time doing something like this, Yuan Sicheng's expression was somewhat unnatural, and his tone was stiff.

But he was very careful when picking the vegetables.

This left Yuan Yangyang both amused and exasperated, and she spoke up jokingly.

"Are you trying to get me to have diabetes so you can inherit my Alipay account?"
