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

Song Shuyue replied, "There's no such thing as a flawless case. If necessary, we might use some underhanded methods to get those people to investigate for us; that might be much more effective."

Song Yanbai: [Yes, I accept your suggestion. Yueyue, I've already warned the Jiang family. If Jiang Qianyun dares to insult you again, don't hesitate to hit her. I'll take care of everything.]

Song Shuyue: [Don't worry, I'm not someone to be trifled with either.]

The Huo family held a birthday banquet for Huo Xiaoyu. This suggestion was made by Huo Sijing, who believed that Huo Xiaoyu needed to make excellent friends in order to change some of her bad habits.

Huo's parents readily agreed to the suggestion and threw a grand birthday party for their daughter.

Inviting these socialites was intended to inspire Huo Xiaoyu with their excellence, making her more sensible, well-behaved, and poised, behaving like a wealthy young lady.

Instead of being a tomboy every day, making a ruckus, causing trouble everywhere, either fighting or skipping classes.

Following Song Shuyue's advice, Huo Xiaoyu started growing her hair long. During this time, she always left early and returned late, so she rarely met Huo Sijing, and she would either wear a hat.

Huo Sijing didn't realize that her hair had grown long. The stylist gave her a mermaid princess look, which was beautiful and lively.

Her adorable face was full of obedience and understanding. Dressed in a white dress, she looked completely different from Huo Xiaoyu, who usually wore jeans and a black shirt.

Everyone was shocked when Huo Xiaoyu slowly walked downstairs.

Everyone says that Huo Xiaoyu is a tomboy, a country bumpkin, unreasonable, and has a gaunt appearance.

Who said that! The girl in front of me is clearly very cute and pretty.

For the first time, Huo's mother found her daughter very pleasing to the eye, her eyes filled with doting affection, which made her very gratified.

Huo Sijing clenched her fists tightly, glaring fiercely at Huo Xiaoyu as she walked gracefully towards her. When did she grow her hair long, and...

Why is she wearing a white dress?

"Is this Miss Huo not as unattractive as the rumors suggest? On the contrary, she is quite beautiful."

"That's right, she's the legitimate biological daughter of the Huo family. The Huo couple are good-looking, so their daughter is bound to be beautiful. I don't know who's spreading rumors and talking nonsense."

"This Huo Xiaoyu is actually prettier than Huo Sijing. How come I never noticed before? She even has long hair. If I had known she was this beautiful, I shouldn't have refused when the two families proposed a marriage alliance."

"They're still studying at the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine College. Even if their reputation is a bit bad, how bad can it be?"

Listening to everyone's comments about Huo Xiaoyu, Huo Sijing almost scratched her palms raw with her fingers!

Huo Xiaoyu is the center of attention; the one who should be praising her is me, not you, you despicable woman!

In what way do you qualify?

Who exactly gave you this advice?

It's Song Shuyue!

It must be her!

Huo Xiaoyu is brainless, easily manipulated, impulsive, quick to anger, and completely lacking in critical thinking.

She couldn't have changed so much without someone giving her advice.

"Xiaoyu, now that's more like a girl! Come, let me introduce you, this is your uncle..."

Huo's mother pulled Huo Xiaoyu along to greet people. Huo Xiaoyu had never liked these restrictive rules, and she also disliked wearing white dresses, as they made running around difficult.

She likes wearing pants and likes cool and edgy girls.

But Song Shuyue said that people should try different lives.

The first time she wore a white dress, she was surprised to find that she looked really beautiful.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she could hardly believe that the seemingly gentle and virtuous girl in front of her was actually her.

Huo Linyu smiled faintly and gave her a reassuring look.

Huo Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows and smiled, cheerfully dealing with these people.

Her eyes kept glancing towards the door. Why hadn't Song Shuyue arrived yet? Had she forgotten it was her birthday, or was she busy and didn't want to come?

The Maybach stopped in front of the Huo family's house. Song Yanzhou's arrival surprised everyone. After all, he was a rising star in Beijing. Who wouldn't want to curry favor and cooperate with him? No one expected that the Huo family would be able to invite this rising star from Beijing.

When Huo Linyu sent out the invitation, he didn't have high hopes. It was rumored that Song Yanzhou had always disliked attending cumbersome banquets and rarely appeared in public.

I never expected him to come today!

From the moment Huo Xiaoyu saw Song Yanzhou, she couldn't take her eyes off him, and neither could Huo Sijing.

The people around had already mentioned the man's name. They were surprised to find that he was so young, so handsome, and so tall and imposing at 1.9 meters. His legs seemed to be longer than their lives.

The next second, Song Yanzhou walked to the other side, opened the car door, and a pair of slender, jade-like legs stepped out. Song Shuyue's eyes were clear and cold, her skin was like solidified cream, and she was so beautiful that she could topple kingdoms and cities, like a rare beauty in the mortal world.

She was wearing a very simple pale yellow dress, which made her look incredibly graceful, but the chill between her brows elevated her aura to an unattainable level.

Her small face, no bigger than a palm, was as delicate as a porcelain doll, but her eyes seemed completely mismatched, yet also perfectly natural.

Many of the men present admitted they were stunned!

All eyes turned to her. Song Yanzhou felt some intense gazes on his sister, and he frowned in annoyance, his sharp eyes sweeping over everyone.

He shielded his younger sister behind him.

"Yueyue, slow down."

"Ah."

When Huo Xiaoyu saw the two walking over together, her heart, which had been fluttering just moments before, instantly calmed down. It turned out he was Yueyue's boyfriend; she really deserved to die.

Why did I think of such filthy things?

Huo Linyu lowered his gaze to his legs, which he could not stand on. His eyes were full of inferiority, but his face still wore a gentle and refined smile.

Many people greeted Song Yanzhou, but he only gave perfunctory and polite responses. However, he took the initiative to shake hands with Huo Linyu to show goodwill.

Song Yanzhou had heard the legend of this genius PhD in scientific research. To be honest, when he won those international awards, he had achieved nothing. What is regrettable is that such a prodigy lost his brilliance in an accident.

In his place came Huo Linyu, the new head of the Huo family.

A man who stands out from the crowd in the business world.

"Mr. Huo, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Mr. Song, you're too kind. I should be the one saying that, it's an honor for you to grace my humble abode with your presence."

Huo Xiaoyu was very excited because Song Shuyue had arrived.

She didn't dare to show it too much, because she wasn't very familiar with Song Shuyue yet, and her rashness might upset her.

Song Shuyue handed her the gift, saying, "This is a gift for you, and happy birthday!"

Huo Xiaoyu happily took it from her hand and carefully handed it to the maid beside her, asking her to make sure to put it in her room.

"Song Shuyue, thank you, thank you for coming to my birthday party. I'm very happy and I really like your gift."

Huo Linyu then realized that this beautiful young lady was none other than Song Shuyue, the classmate Huo Xiaoyu had always longed for!

My younger sister was able to become Jing Yuan's apprentice thanks to this classmate. I heard that she has a very high level of medical expertise, and she was praised by Master Jing repeatedly, and her status was even equal to his.

"Yueyue, this is Huo Linyu, Mr. Huo. Mr. Huo, this is my sister, Song Shuyue."

Neither Huo Linyu nor Huo Xiaoyu expected that Song Shuyue was his sister. Huo Linyu extended his hand and said, "Hello, Miss Song."

Song Shuyue reached out and shook hands with him, "Hello, Mr. Song."

The girl's hands were fair and delicate, with a cool touch, which contrasted with his hot, large hands. Huo Linyu's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, but he quickly calmed down.

Huo Xiaoyu had no way of finding out Song Shuyue's identity, but judging from the brands of her clothes, it was clear that her family was either rich or powerful.

But she never imagined that she was actually the younger sister of Song Yanzhou, the famous rising star of Beijing.

No wonder she dared to hit Jiang Qianyun.

Because she has the capital and confidence to back it up.

Song Yanzhou left the young girls alone while he and Huo Linyu talked about other things.

"Song Shuyue, is he really your brother?"

Huo Xiaoyu's eyes were practically glued to Song Yanzhou, as if she could practically write on her face, "I think I've fallen for him."

Song Shuyue nodded and teased, "Yes, what's wrong? Are you feeling the stirrings of first love?"

Huo Xiaoyu's face flushed instantly, and she bit her lip shyly.

Song Shuyue had to admit that coming tonight was worthwhile; it was the first time he had seen a charming and innocent expression on Huo Xiaoyu's face, which was quite a rare sight.

The little girl's blushing face was quite adorable.

Huo Xiaoyu is straightforward and frank in her speech. She directly admitted, "Your brother is so handsome, there isn't a single girl here who isn't attracted to him, right? He's so tall, he must be 1.9 meters, right? Young and promising, so amazing."

Song Shuyue: "It's alright!"

Song Yanzhou was the one she was most satisfied with among her three older brothers; otherwise, she wouldn't have let him stay at home.

She is clear-headed, not love-struck, dedicated to her career, loyal and devoted, and also a great cook.

The only flaw he has is that he is sometimes too arrogant and never puts his own life first.

There's nothing else to criticize about him; he's excellent in terms of physique, appearance, and abilities. Otherwise, he wouldn't have reached this position at such a young age.

"What do you mean 'not bad'? Your brother is super outstanding, okay? Tell me more about him, what he likes to eat, and where he usually goes?"

Huo's parents were quite pleased to see Huo Xiaoyu with Song Shuyue. Song Shuyue was Song Yanzhou's younger sister, a true lady from a prominent family. It seemed that this birthday banquet was indeed a good decision.

Mrs. Huo said to Huo Sijing in a cheerful mood, "Sijing, your suggestion this time was very good. You see, you have made new friends and your behavior has become much more elegant and graceful. It seems that in the future, it would be better to take her out to crowds more often."

Huo Sijing responded with a smile, "I think so too."

But in her heart, she wanted nothing more than to tear Huo Xiaoyu to pieces. Her original intention was to embarrass her and make her lose face at the birthday banquet, but unexpectedly, it created a glorious image for her.

Huo Sijing doesn't have much attention to pay to Huo Xiaoyu right now, because she has her eye on Song Yanzhou.

This prodigy, a rising star in Beijing.

If I could become his woman, the future would be immeasurable.
