The matriarch has returned; that spendthrift son is truly daring!

"Cough cough cough cough! What did you say, brat? Say it again."

Zhou's father was so frightened that he coughed repeatedly, his face turning blue, and he gripped his shoulders tightly, wondering if he had misheard.

Zhou Yangjun was quite embarrassed. Old Mr. Zhou could see what he was thinking. Young people, after all, wear their hearts on their sleeves.

"This kid said he's taken a liking to that girl Yue from earlier and wants you to help him connect with her," Mr. Zhou said before getting into his car and leaving.

Mr. Zhou's eyes widened in shock. "You brat, are you kidding me?"

He just offended someone and finally made amends, and now he wants to arrange a marriage alliance with them. I really don't know where he gets the nerve.

Zhou Yangjun said sincerely, "I fell in love with Song Shuyue at first sight and I will marry no one but her. If you don't want your family line to end, you should get closer to the Song family. I'm going to check her information and find out her preferences. We must win her over."

With a trembling hand, Zhou's father pointed at him angrily, "You bastard! That girl has just come of age. Have some decency!"

Zhou Yanjun turned around and smiled at him, saying, "A wife should be cultivated from a young age. I'm leaving now."

"you!"

Song Yanzhao finished his work and thought he would give his sister a surprise. He even bought her favorite small cakes. He rang the doorbell and his second brother, whom he hadn't seen for many years, opened the door.

"What are you doing here?" Song Yanzhao frowned and asked in an extremely dissatisfied tone.

Song Yanzhou remained expressionless. "Why can't I be here?"

Song Yanzhao pushed him aside and walked straight in, "Yueyue? Yueyue?"

Seeing that the room was empty, Song Yanzhao turned his head and asked, "Where's Yueyue?"

"School's not over yet, you can come back tomorrow."

Song Yanzhou's words greatly displeased Song Yanzhao. What did he mean by "come again tomorrow"?

Isn't Yueyue his sister? This is his home too, so why should he kick him out?

What qualifications does he have?

"Song Yanzhou, get this straight, I'm Yueyue's third brother. You want me to leave? You're the one who should be leaving. We haven't heard from you for years. People who don't know better would think you're dead."

Song Yanzhou snorted coldly, "You go home often? If not, shut up. I don't have time to argue with you."

He still needs to cook; Yueyue will be hungry when she gets back soon.

When Song Shuyue was dismissed from school, Fu Yuyao was waiting at the school gate again. Seeing the boy's slightly flushed cheeks, she knew exactly what was going on and had clearly stated her feelings.

"Yueyue, a new restaurant opened on South Street. Shall we go eat there together?"

Fu Yuyao has always had a cool and roguish style, but he heard that young girls like clean and sunny looks, so he tries to wear white as much as possible.

Just as Song Shuyue was about to refuse, she saw the dark cloud over his brows, realizing that something was about to happen to someone in the Fu family.

"I don't need to eat, can I come to your house instead?"

Song Shuyue's words caught Fu Yuyao off guard, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. "Okay, of course I can. I'll go get the car right away. Wait for me."

"Ah."

Song Shuyue took out her merit book and saw that because she had changed Song Zixuan's fate and involved his marriage, all her merit debts had been cleared. Now she only needed to accumulate merit. After she had accumulated enough merit, could she still go back to the underworld?

"Yueyue, get in the car!"

Fu Yuyao was extremely nervous while driving, constantly swallowing his saliva. "Yueyue, I'm so glad you could come to my house as a guest."

Song Shuyue glanced at him sideways. "Aren't we friends? If we're friends, there's no need to be so polite."

"Oh, okay." A hint of disappointment flashed in Fu Yuyao's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by happiness. Yueyue has very few male friends, and he is probably the only one, right?

Therefore, his chances are very high.

"You have a cousin living at your house, right?"

Fu Yuyao was shocked and puzzled. "Yes, Yueyue, how did you know? My cousin just arrived last night."

Song Shuyue: "Fu Yuyao, would you believe me if I said I could tell fortunes?"

She's not an expert; she can only read faces. Compared to real masters, she's not a great person, but she can offer advice and help resolve problems.

Fu Yuyao replied without hesitation, "I believe you. I believe everything you say."

Song Shuyue: "Thank you, Fu Yuyao. Your cousin is about to die at your house. They will say that your sister killed your cousin. Contact a private doctor and ask him to come to your house as soon as possible. Maybe he can save your cousin's life and also help your sister get out of this predicament."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuyao's expression turned serious, and he immediately dialed his private doctor's number.

His mother's younger sister, who was also his aunt, was the one he disliked the most. She was too snobbish, calculating, and always came with an ulterior motive.

He still favors boys over girls, so bringing his cousin up this time was quite a surprise to him.

Is there some kind of conspiracy involved?

Thinking of this, Fu Yuyao quickened his pace. When he arrived home, he saw a large crowd gathered in the hall. His aunt cried out loudly, "My daughter! My daughter died so tragically! She was your cousin! How could you be so cruel? Fu Shuya, why did you kill my daughter?"

Fu Shuya was bewildered and pale. "It wasn't me. I don't know what happened. I told you I didn't give her this cake. I bought it from outside. Yes, it's big. I put it on the table. How could it be poisonous?"

"If there was no poison, then why isn't my daughter breathing? She's dead! She was just a few moments ago, full of life, and now she's dead like this. How am I supposed to live? How are we supposed to live?"

Fu Shuya was about to touch the girl lying on the ground when the fierce woman in front of her slapped her away, saying, "Get out of here, and don't touch my daughter."

Fu Shuya knew she was upset. "This is not the time to talk about this. The important thing now is to get her to the hospital immediately. I've already called 120, and the doctor will be here soon."

“Who knows what you’re up to? I know you look down on poor relatives like us and think we’re a disgrace to you. We are poor, but we just want to live a good life. I finally made it all the way from the countryside to visit you with some local specialties, but I’ve lost my daughter forever.”

"Sister, yes, it is. Ever since you were adopted by a rich family, our relationship has been severed. But we have lived together for so many years. You must give me an explanation for what happened today, or I will call the police and have them arrest your daughter and make her spend her life in jail."

Fu Shuya: "This matter really has nothing to do with me. You can call the police if you want, let the police investigate and find out the truth."

"What good is it if the police come? My daughter is dead. You have to pay for my daughter! You have to pay for my daughter!"

Fu Yuyao strode over, "Sister, what happened?"

This was Fu Shuya's first time experiencing something like this. Although she was old and experienced, she was still panicked when faced with a dead body.

“I don’t know what happened, my cousin. She ate a piece of cake and then collapsed. She stopped breathing instantly.”
