Jiang Youli shrugged and said, "He struck first, I was just acting in self-defense."

"Jiang Youli! You truly live up to your reputation as a scoundrel from a poor, remote place! You have the air of a bandit! You ill-mannered wild girl, let go right now! Believe me or not, I'll chop off your hand... Ah!"

Jiang Youli ground her hand into Jiang Zhao's until he could only scream in pain and could no longer curse himself before she took a step back.

Jiang Yonghe quickly squatted down and took Jiang Zhao's arm, saying with concern, "Second Brother."

With Jiang Yonghe's help, Jiang Zhao tried to stand up, but he didn't expect that the kick Jiang Youli gave him to the knee, which seemed casual, was actually very painful.

With his hand, which had been crushed, also throbbing with pain, he simply didn't have the strength to stand up.

He had only stood halfway when he knelt down again.

"Boom."

Jiang Youli chuckled, "Jiang Zhao, your knees aren't as hard as your mouth. You love kneeling to people, don't you?"

"Jiang Youli!" Jiang Zhao struggled to stand up again, but failed.

Jiang Youli looked down at his disheveled appearance and said, "Since you know I'm a troublemaker, don't mess with me in the future."

Jiang Zhao looked up at her with humiliation, "...Very well, Jiang Youli, you will never have the chance to acknowledge me as your brother again!"

Jiang Youli seemed to have heard a joke, "Recognize you? You might as well recognize a dog."

After saying that, she turned and walked away.

……

"Why is Young Master Jiang Zhao kneeling here?"

"I don't know, and I don't dare to ask."

Hearing the whispers of the maids passing by, Jiang Zhao felt extremely humiliated and roared, "What are you looking at? Are you all stupid?! Come and help me up!"

The maids then realized what was happening, ran over, and together carried him into the room to sit on the sofa.

Jiang Yonghe carefully pulled down his trouser leg to check his knees, frowning with concern as she said, "Second Brother, your knees are all bruised and swollen."

Jiang Zhao looked down and saw a deep bruise where Jiang Youli had kicked him.

“Sister Youli is too much. Even if you have resentment, you should take it out on me. Why did you take it out on Second Brother…” Jiang Yonghe’s voice suddenly became tearful. “Second Brother, I’m sorry. It’s all because of me that you’ve ended up like this.”

Jiang Zhao quickly comforted her, "Xiao He, it has nothing to do with you. Jiang Youli, that ugly woman, is narrow-minded. She's just jealous of you, that's why she can't tolerate you!"

Jiang Yonghe quickly said, "Second brother, don't say anything, I'll go get some ice to put on your knee." After saying that, she got up to get the ice pack.

Jiang Zhao looked at Jiang Yonghe, who was busy helping him, and his anger subsided a little.

How could he possibly kick such a good sister out of the Jiang family just because he couldn't tolerate that ugly Jiang Youli?

What a big joke!

"Alright, second brother, it might hurt a little, just bear with it." Jiang Yonghe took the ice pack and carefully placed it on Jiang Zhao's knee, gently pressing it.

Jiang Zhao's face was a little pale, but she still said gently, "Yes, it's nothing."

He tried to appear nonchalant, but the pain in his knee actually made him frown slightly.

As Jiang Yonghe carefully applied the ice pack, she said softly, "Second brother, should we tell Mom and Dad about this? Or maybe we should just leave it at that... After all, we don't want them to worry."

A flash of anger and resentment crossed Jiang Zhao's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can't let this go! That wild girl Jiang Youli, I will make her pay back double for the humiliation she suffered today! I will never let her get away with this!"

Jiang Yonghe's face showed worry, and her voice carried a hint of helplessness: "...But, Sister Youli will definitely hate me even more because of this."

Jiang Zhao frowned and said firmly, "Xiao He, I've figured it out. The only way to stop you from being in such a difficult situation is to find a way to make Jiang Youli disliked by everyone in the family, especially Grandpa! Only in this way can she no longer hurt you."

"Second brother..." Jiang Yonghe hesitated, as if she wanted to say something.

"You don't need to persuade me, I've already made up my mind! It's her fault for not tolerating you!" Jiang Zhao's eyes were full of determination; he had made up his mind to make Jiang Youli pay the price.

Upon hearing this, a triumphant smile appeared in Jiang Yonghe's eyes. Excellent! Now she didn't even have to lift a finger; Jiang Youli and Jiang Zhao were now sworn enemies.

……

After Jiang Youli became familiar with the Jiang family, Zhang Susu took her out to buy clothes.

Upon arriving at the upscale shopping mall, Zhang Susu repeatedly said, "Youli, buy whatever you like, don't be shy."

Although Jiang Youli was said to be the one picking the clothes, she felt that Zhang Susu was more proactive than her, and the clothes she picked out for her were almost piled up like a mountain.

Jiang Youli reminded her, "Mom, you're picking too many things."

Zhang Susu was having a great time picking things out. "It's okay, if you can't try them all, just buy them."

Jiang Youli finally understood: Zhang Susu was playing a simulation game called Miracle Nikki.

However, seeing how happy Zhang Susu was, she couldn't bear to spoil the mood, so she simply let her buy everything for her.

In the evening, Jiang Youli and Zhang Susu returned from buying clothes outside. The head housekeeper, who was waiting in the living room, returned Jiang Youli's ID card to her and handed Zhang Susu the household registration book with her name on it.

"Master has already arranged for Miss to move her household registration."

"Really? Let me see!" Zhang Susu hadn't recovered from the joy of shopping when she heard the news. She took the household registration book and eagerly flipped through it to check. When she saw Jiang Youli's personal information on the last page, she was overjoyed.

"Youli, now we are truly a family." As she said this, her eyes sparkled with tears.

Seeing Zhang Susu's undisguised happiness, Jiang Youli was slightly touched and hummed in response.

A family, a word that was once a luxury for her, is now so close.

Jiang Yehan put his arm around Zhang Susu's shoulder and said softly:

"Youli, the welcome banquet for you is scheduled for this Saturday at 7 pm. I have already had the invitations ordered and will be sent to the various prestigious families tomorrow. There will be many noble families attending your welcome banquet. Your mother can teach you the basic banquet etiquette. Don't be too nervous. Just treat it as an ordinary family banquet. Your mother and I will take care of everything."

Jiang Youli nodded, "Okay."

Zhang Susu asked, "What are your thoughts on evening gowns? What style would you like?"

Jiang Yonghe brought up the welcome banquet herself, but Jiang Youli didn't believe that Jiang Yonghe meant well. She naturally wanted to overshadow her at the banquet and embarrass her in front of the wealthy young ladies and gentlemen as soon as she returned.

And the evening gowns that night must have been vying for attention!

Jiang Yonghe probably also wants to tamper with this.

Since it was her welcome banquet, she naturally wanted to be the most dazzling presence that night. Jiang Yonghe's plan to overshadow her was doomed!

"As for the evening gown, Mom, please order the best one you can."

"Row."

Sudden--

A woman's shrill voice rang out from outside the door.

"Jiang Youli, you heartless bastard! Your father and I brought you back, and you refused to acknowledge us, but now you've even hit your own brother!"
