Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

As Zhou Liwan followed the housekeeper to the top of the stairs, she heard a burst of laughter coming from the living room.

"Madam Zhou, you don't need to be so polite. From now on, my younger sister will be a member of your Zhou family. If she does anything wrong, please discipline her on my behalf. However, seeing that Xiao Fen's belly is getting bigger and bigger, but the wedding date still can't be set, I'm afraid it will cause controversy."

The one speaking is the culprit who killed you in your past life.

Because of his gambling, drinking, whoring, and lack of education, Han Kui, the brother of Han Xiaofen, racked up a huge gambling debt and even ruined the Zhou family's company.

Even if she were to descend into the deepest hell, Zhou Liwan would never forget this guy.

Qin Suqiu deliberately kept her posture upright and smiled in a manner befitting a noblewoman, but her words still carried a strong accent: "My dear in-law, you are too kind. It is Xiaofen's good fortune to be able to bring offspring to our Zhou family. Our Zhou family is not a small, insignificant household that can let the children run wild. There will definitely be no surprises regarding the wedding date."

Looking at the group of people who were putting on an act but still couldn't hide their stench, Zhou Liwan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The girl's voice was clear and melodious, as delicate and soft as the tender green willow branches in March gently brushing the surface of a lake, making one unable to resist searching for the owner of that voice.

The girl downstairs, who had been silent with a sweet smile on her lips, had a fleeting look in her eyes when she saw the girl upstairs who was the same age as her but only a few months older. Her tightly clenched hands loosened slightly, then suddenly tightened again.

That person was so beautiful that she seemed unreal. Her jet-black hair was slightly curled and flowed smoothly over her body, with a healthy sheen. Her small face had an alluring pearly pink hue, giving one the illusion that it could be crushed with the slightest pressure.

She was unbelievably clean, as pure as an angel.

This innate, effortlessly revealed purity is something I can't imitate, no matter how hard I try, even though I regularly get skincare and beauty treatments.

She was already considered beautiful by ordinary people, which made Zhou Qingya very proud.

But the appearance of this girl in front of her instantly shattered her pride, even trampling it underfoot.

[That bitch, why does she attract everyone's attention the moment she appears! They're both Dad's daughters!]

Zhou Liwan understood Zhou Qingya's thoughts, and the smile on her lips deepened.

"Wanwan's up, perfect timing to meet your Aunt Xiaofen and your uncle." Mrs. Zhou, dressed in a dark purple cheongsam, beckoned to her granddaughter, gesturing for her to sit down at her feet.

[That good-for-nothing Jiang Xinyi gave birth to. Their Jiang Group's granddaughter is as obedient as a dog in the Zhou family, only fit to sit at their feet. I don't know what she's so arrogant about. What gives the Jiang family the right to claim they look down on Jian Guo?]

Zhou Liwan's eyes turned cold. In her past life, she would never have dreamed that her grandmother always made her sit next to her for this reason. It was ridiculous that she thought her grandmother was the only person in the family who was good to her.

It turns out they're just a bunch of snakes and rats, trying to salvage a sliver of vanity with their cowardice. It seems that only by trampling on themselves can the Zhou family surpass the Jiang family.

It's laughable that the Jiang family is a top-tier wealthy family in China, with businesses all over the world; they are a prestigious family.

As for the Zhou family, it's just a small company that the son-in-law of the Jiang family started with the support of the Jiang family.

Did Grandma really think that by being brought out of the countryside and then remarrying, she had completely changed her status as a rural widow and become a noblewoman of high society?

Zhou Liwan raised an eyebrow, walked up to the crowd under the watchful eyes of many, and smiled slightly: "Uncle? What uncle? My mother only has one younger brother, who is now the CEO of Jiang's Group. Grandma is getting old, she can't treat just any Tom, Dick, or Harry as a relative."

Han Kui, who was sitting on the sofa, turned ashen-faced instantly, and the veins on the back of his hand gripping the teacup bulged. However, since the matter had not yet been settled, he could only grit his teeth and endure it: "Haha, Xiao Wan is really funny."

[Once Xiaofen marries into the Zhou family, I'll devour them whole, leaving them nothing but bones. Let's see if you'll still be so arrogant without the Zhou family's protection!]

Hmph, you want to devour the Zhou family? Don't you even know if you have the ability?

You spend your days idly, smoking, drinking, and gambling with a bunch of shady friends. Even if the Zhou family were given to you, you might not be able to handle it.

Zhou Liwan felt contempt in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She just waited quietly for him to say something else.

Having composed himself, Han Kui put on a fake, gentle smile and spoke again: "I heard from your aunt that you've agreed to your Aunt Xiaofen marrying your father, right?"

Zhou Liwan glanced at Zhou Wenyue, who was sitting quite far away. She was still acting like a spoiled brat. She gave Zhou Wenyue a disdainful look and then turned back to continue coaxing her twentieth-year-old son, Chaoxiong, whose father was still unknown.

My cousin's story is quite dramatic. Before the baby was born, the doctor hinted that the child had an extra Y chromosome, which would make the mother suffer more if the baby was born.

But my aunt insisted on keeping the child no matter what, and no matter how much her family threatened or bribed her, she wouldn't reveal who the child's father was.

If it weren't for Grandpa's intervention, Zhou Jianguo probably would have forced her to have an abortion.

Zhou Liwan ignored the spot that Old Madam Zhou had deliberately moved her feet to make for her, and slowly walked to the main seat where her grandfather usually sat.

His gaze slowly swept over everyone, taking in each person's interesting expression: "You don't actually believe that, do you?"

Seeing the person in front of her freeze, Zhou Liwan covered her mouth and feigned surprise, saying, "You actually believed that? You're not that naive at your age!"

Madam Zhou was very dissatisfied with Zhou Liwan's performance today, but because there were other people around, she couldn't lash out. She could only scold her with slight displeasure: "How can you speak to your elders like that? You can't be so insensible. Your Aunt Xiaofen is already pregnant with your father's son. How can the men of my Zhou family continue to be left to wander outside?"

Zhou Liwan pretended not to know, raised an eyebrow and looked at Han Xiaofen, who had a shy expression on her face, which was really ridiculous.

This is completely different from how she looked when she killed me in my previous life. If I hadn't been given a second chance at life, I would never have been able to see her true face even if I lived for several more decades.

"Is she really pregnant again?"

Han Xiaofen blushed and gently stroked her still-flat belly, softly saying, "Mmm, maybe this is a gift from heaven to Jianguo. They know that Jianguo has always wanted a son, but because Jiang, your mother, has always been emotionally unstable, this wish has not been fulfilled. Later, after she went to Gouba Village on her own, your father spent a lot of effort looking for her, so they still haven't been able to have a son."

[Hahaha, I'm so clever! By saying this, everyone in the Zhou family will only blame Jiang Xinyi, which also highlights my contributions to the Jiang family!]

As expected, upon hearing this, Madam Zhou looked gratified, realizing that she had not misjudged him; he was a kind and understanding person.

Qin Suqiu took Han Xiaofen's hand and patted it with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Liwan's face darkened: "What's so hard about it? Hard about her shamelessly seducing her best friend's husband? Hard about her being a mistress? Hard about her having a child out of wedlock and coming to your door pregnant?"

"Shut up! You good-for-nothing, what nonsense are you spouting!" Old Madam Zhou coldly interrupted, "Xiao Fen and Jianguo are truly in love. If it weren't for your mother's interference, how could they still not be able to get married!"

"Truly in love?" Zhou Liwan looked at Han Xiaofen coldly and said, "I think she's just a shameless slut! A whore who can't control her lust when she sees a man!"
