Jiang Youli glanced at Jiang Zhao and said bluntly, "Stop smiling. Your forced smile looks really ugly. If you can't smile, then keep smiling at your good sister. Don't annoy me."

After saying that, she followed Zhang Susu to the two empty seats next to Jiang Yehan.

Zhang Susu sat down next to Jiang Yehan, while Jiang Youli sat down next to Zhang Susu.

Jiang Zhao: "..."

Being publicly ridiculed and humiliated like this, he was so angry that he could barely keep up his smile. It took him a while to suppress his anger and sit down.

Jiang Yangxu said unhappily, "Youli, stop fooling around."

Jiang Youli didn't even bother to look at him. "Second Uncle, I'm not your daughter. It's not your place to discipline me."

Upon hearing Jiang Youli call him Second Uncle, Jiang Yangxu's face visibly darkened.

Qin Yulian awkwardly forced a smile and said, "Youli, your father and I know we were wrong. We apologize to you here. Please don't be angry with us. Come and sit with your brother."

Jiang Youli retorted without any politeness, "Second Aunt, can't you understand human language?"

Jiang Zhao couldn't hold back any longer. "Jiang Youli! They are your own parents. Show some respect when you speak!"

Jiang Youli scoffed, "Stop pretending? You're already desperate and resorting to violence so quickly. You say you know you're wrong? Is this how you apologize?"

Just then, Old Master Jiang's strong and powerful voice rang out, "Why are you arguing again!"

Jiang Zhao immediately suppressed his temper and said, "Grandpa, we didn't quarrel. I just felt that my sister might not understand the rules of a wealthy family since she just came back, so I'm teaching her properly here."

Jiang Youli continued impolitely, "If you know the rules, you shouldn't be disciplining me beyond my parents' authority. Where do you put my parents' faces with your behavior?"

"You're trying to pressure me with your uncle and aunt?" Jiang Zhao stared in disbelief.

Zhang Susu, however, stood up for her, saying, "Youli is right. She is now my and your uncle's daughter, and your uncle and I are responsible for disciplining her. It's not your place to tell our daughter what to do."

Grandpa Jiang sat down in the main seat. "Youli just got back, so this old man will lay everything out here and make things clear."

At this point, he looked at Jiang Youli and said, "Granddaughter, I'll ask you one last time: are you sure you want to acknowledge your uncle and aunt as your parents? Now, apart from your third aunt, everyone in the Jiang family is here. Think it through yourself."

In an instant, almost everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Youli's face.

"Youli, my good child, Grandpa has asked you a question. Now is not the time to be stubborn." Qin Yulian looked at Jiang Youli nervously.

Jiang Zhao was still furious with Jiang Youli and didn't want to say anything against his conscience.

Jiang Yangxu then warned, "Think it through. We are your real parents. Everything we have will be for you and your brother. Yonghe, as an adopted daughter, cannot shake your status as the real heiress. But with your uncle and aunt, you are just like Yonghe, an adopted daughter living under someone else's roof. This is your last chance."

“Second brother! I never thought of just treating Youli as an adopted daughter! From the first time she called me 'Mom,' I have treated her as my own daughter!” After Zhang Susu finished speaking, she did not dare to look into Jiang Youli’s eyes. She was slightly nervous, and her palms were sweaty.

She is afraid.

Perhaps at this last moment, Youli still regrets it and still wants to recognize her biological father and mother.

Jiang Yehan gently placed his hand on the back of her hand and whispered, "Susu, don't be nervous. We must trust Youli's choice."

Ignoring Jiang Yangxu and Qin Yulian's words, Jiang Youli said with unwavering determination, "Grandpa, I'm sure."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yulian said anxiously, "Youli!"

Jiang Youli didn't even bother to glance at her, and said impatiently, "Second Aunt, you're very noisy."

The word "Second Aunt" made Qin Yulian feel a lump in her throat, unable to breathe properly, and extremely uncomfortable.

Grandpa Jiang sternly rebuked, "That's enough. Youli's attitude is clear; she will no longer acknowledge you."

Zhang Susu finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Jiang Youli's affirmative answer.

Jiang Yehan gently patted the back of her hand and smiled, "Everyone says you're too nervous. Youli likes you a lot."

Zhang Susu chuckled to herself. There was nothing she could do; she desperately wanted Youli to be her legitimate daughter.

At this moment, Jiang Yonghe, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said, "Grandpa, now that Sister Youli has been brought back, shouldn't we hold a grand welcome banquet for her?"

Everyone was surprised that Jiang Yonghe would take the initiative to host a welcome banquet for Jiang Youli.

After all, this means that everyone in the wealthy circles will know that she is a fake heiress!

Jiang Yonghe continued to explain, "I just wanted to give Sister Youli a grand welcome banquet, so that everyone in the capital would know that she is the only true daughter of the Jiang family."

Grandpa Jiang's attitude towards Jiang Yonghe softened somewhat. "You've put your heart into it."

Jiang Yonghe looked at Jiang Youli with eager expectation on her face, "I just sincerely hope that Sister Youli can accept me. I don't want to leave the Jiang family only because I can't bear to leave my parents and brother. I don't care about the identity of the Jiang family's daughter. And the reason why my parents and brother don't kick me out is also because of this."

Qin Yulian choked up: "Yonghe, your understanding is heartbreaking."

Jiang Youli watched the mother and daughter's affectionate relationship with a playful look in her eyes.

Grandpa Jiang didn't say anything more, but instructed, "Eldest son, you and your wife are in charge of arranging the welcome banquet for Youli. Make sure Youli's identity is revealed in a grand and glorious way."

Faced with the provocation hidden in Jiang Yonghe's eyes, Jiang Youli simply turned to Zhang Susu and said, "Mom, you and Dad can arrange the welcome banquet as much as you like, make it as grand as possible."

Seeing her so calm and composed, Zhang Susu nodded and said, "Okay, your father and I will definitely throw a grand welcome banquet for you."

Jiang Yonghe's expression remained calm throughout, showing no sign of resentment, but inwardly she was already anticipating Jiang Youli's embarrassment at the welcome banquet.

Even if she is the real daughter of the Jiang family, so what? She's just a country bumpkin who doesn't even know the proper etiquette. How can she expect to turn from a sparrow into a phoenix?

Since she's so clueless, let her experience what it's like to be ridiculed by rich young men and women, and make her face reality.

……

Dinner is over.

Grandpa Jiang went back to his room to rest first.

"Jiang Youli".

Just as Jiang Youli was about to leave with Zhang Susu's family, Jiang Zhao's cold and harsh voice came from behind her.

Soon, Jiang Zhao brought Jiang Yonghe forward, saying, "You see?"

Jiang Youli looked up and nodded. "Oh, I see. There are two dogs barking at me now."

Jiang Zhao originally wanted to say: "See? Xiao He is so beautiful and kind. Even though you dislike her so much, she still thinks of you in every way."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Youli called him and Xiao He dogs!

His usually icy face was instantly filled with anger.

"Jiang Youli! How dare you speak to me like that!"
