As soon as the sound faded, Qin Yulian and Jiang Yangxu, along with Jiang Zhao and Jiang Yonghe, entered.

Jiang Zhao walked with a limp, and one of his hands was scraped.

"Dad, you must stand up for Zhao'er today!" Qin Yulian's eyes were moist, tears welling up, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Looking at it this way, Jiang Youli felt that Jiang Yonghe and Qin Yulian did indeed look more like mother and daughter, their expressions when they pretended to be pitiful were exactly the same.

Jiang Yehan and his wife exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.

What's wrong with my second brother and sister-in-law now? They even called the old man over.

Upon entering the hall, Qin Yulian saw Jiang Youli enjoying a harmonious scene with her elder brother and sister-in-law, and immediately felt somewhat unhappy.

She deliberately raised her voice and went straight to the point, accusing her: "Brother and sister-in-law, you still have the mind to chat and laugh with my daughter here? Do you know that she has caused a huge disaster today!"

Meeting Jiang Zhao's hateful gaze, Jiang Youli's eyes revealed a mocking glint as she said gloatingly, "Second Aunt, what are you yelling about at my house? Tell me what trouble I've caused."

Every time Qin Yulian heard Jiang Youli call her "Second Aunt," she felt extremely displeased. She stepped forward and sternly rebuked her, "Jiang Youli, you should know when to stop throwing a tantrum at us! Now you've even hit your own brother! I think you're really taking advantage of your status as the Jiang family's true daughter. Today, your grandfather will definitely teach you a lesson!"

Zhang Susu pulled Jiang Youli's hand closer to her, saying, "Don't scare Youli before things are cleared up."

Jiang Youli felt a warmth in her heart as she sensed Zhang Susu's attention.

Wow! This warm maternal love is simply irresistible!

She wished she could be reborn and crawl into Zhang Susu's belly to become her real daughter!

Jiang Yehan frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, you need to make things clear. I don't believe that Youli would hit someone for no reason."

Qin Yulian pulled her son Jiang Zhao aside and cried, "Brother, how could it not be? Look at Yonghe's face and the injuries on her knees... Zhao'er said that these injuries were inflicted by Jiang Youli this morning!"

Zhang Susu turned her head to look at Jiang Youli and asked softly, "Youli, what happened?"

Her tone was as gentle as ever, without any hint of criticism.

Jiang Youli readily admitted: "That's right, I hit Jiang Yonghe on the face and Jiang Zhao on the knee, but I think they deserved it."

Qin Yulian glared at her, "Nonsense! What do you mean 'deserve to be beaten'! What right do you have to hit my son and my daughter!"

Jiang Youli ignored Qin Yulian and looked at Grandpa Jiang, saying, "Grandpa, I know it's wrong to hit people, but Jiang Yonghe insulted me. No matter what, I am now your granddaughter and the true daughter of the Jiang family. She is an adopted daughter who humiliated me. Do you think she should be hit or not? As for Jiang Zhao, he was the one who planned to attack me first. My kneeling was just self-defense."

Qin Yulian immediately retorted, "You're definitely lying. Do you think we don't know what kind of person Yonghe is after living with her for twenty years? How could she possibly humiliate someone! Ever since you came back, Yonghe has been very friendly to you and has always spoken up for you. I think you're just slandering her. As for why Zhao'er hit you, it's because you hit Yonghe without saying a word first!"

Jiang Youli raised an eyebrow. "Really? Jiang Yonghe, do you dare say you didn't verbally insult me?"

Jiang Yonghe shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "I really did not insult Sister Youli. This morning, after I finished my German lesson with my private tutor at Yixin Building, I saw Sister Youli standing in front of the Yixin Building. I thought Sister Youli wanted to learn something like music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I went up to greet her and sincerely wanted to teach her."

At this point, she stubbornly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, "Who knew that Sister Youli thought I was looking down on her and showing off to her, and without saying a word, she slapped me."

“I swear to God, I really didn’t mean to humiliate Sister Youli.”

Qin Yulian tenderly touched Jiang Yonghe's tear-streaked face. "My dear daughter, don't cry. How could I not believe you? You've been well-behaved and sensible since you were little, and I raised you to be. How could you possibly be as terrible as Jiang Youli described?"

After comforting Jiang Yonghe, she turned to Jiang Yonghe and continued, "Did you hear that? I told you that Youli is a wild and difficult child to manage since she was just brought out of the village. Brother and sister-in-law, since you have adopted her as your daughter, you should discipline her properly. How could you let her cause trouble on the very first day?"

After Qin Yulian finished speaking, she turned to Grandpa Jiang and complained, "Dad, I called you here to seek justice. You heard it too. In short, no matter what, I just hope that my elder brother and sister-in-law can give me an explanation. Zhao'er and Yonghe can't have been injured like this for nothing."

Old Master Jiang asked with a stern face, "What do you want?"

Qin Yulian quickly patted her son standing to the side and said, "Zhao'er, tell Yonghe quickly how to resolve this matter of being beaten. Just tell her! Your grandfather will definitely stand up for you today!"

Jiang Yonghe looked at Jiang Youli through teary eyes and sobbed softly, "All I need is an apology from Sister Youli."

Qin Yulian then looked at her son.

Jiang Zhao said, "She is our Jiang family's young lady, so I won't say anything like 'an eye for an eye.' I just hope she can apologize to Xiao He and sign an agreement to let Xiao He stay in the Jiang family. Grandpa, my request is very simple, isn't it?"

“Simple?” Jiang Youli chuckled. “Asking me to apologize to her is a huge insult to me, okay? Jiang Zhao, you really know how to disgust me.”

After saying that, she looked at her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, my household registration has been transferred to my parents' side. I don't want my second uncle and aunt to use blood ties to morally blackmail me in the future. So I hope you can be my witness. Once the matter of beating Jiang Zhao is resolved, I want to sign an agreement to permanently sever ties with them!"

Jiang Zhao sneered: "Sever all ties permanently? Ha, you don't think this is a threat, do you? I'd be more than happy to not have to acknowledge a sister like you!"

Since her son had already been beaten by Jiang Youli, Qin Yulian was unwilling to swallow her anger towards Jiang Youli again for the sake of potentially gaining more family property: "Jiang Youli, are you really going to sign an agreement to sever ties with us? Once you sign it, it will be too late for you to regret it later!"

“Only a dog would regret it.” Jiang Youli said, then looked at Jiang Yonghe. “If you want to know why I hit them, just listen to what I have to say.”

Jiang Yonghe was taken aback. "Listen to this?"

What do you mean?

Her heart leaped into her throat. Could it be...?

Do not!

No way!

Amidst Jiang Yonghe's pale face, Jiang Youli took out her phone and started recording.

“Listen to this.”
