After being reborn, I became a top-tier celebrity by resetting my game history.

Gu Yan circled the bed once and slowly walked to Zhao Meihua.

"Big sister, I know that child is rebellious. If you really find her a fiancé, won't she fly into a rage?"

"Besides, most of the better families in Hong Kong have already arranged marriages. Even Qingyue's niece, didn't you arrange her marriage to Zheng Ran, that rising star in Hong Kong, long ago?"

"If it were a marriage alliance, there would be no suitable person."

"If we don't arrange a marriage, wouldn't it be bad if we just chose an ordinary husband for Xiao Qi?"

"How have you always treated Xiao Qi? You've already built up a reputation as good adoptive parents. If she doesn't choose a husband as good as Qing Yue, who knows what people will think? Wouldn't that affect my brother-in-law's chances of getting into a leadership position?"

Shen Tiancheng nodded repeatedly: "That's indeed the case."

Zhao Meihua glanced at Shen Tiancheng: "Currently, among the wealthy families in Hong Kong, only our Chao Huai is still unmarried."

Shen Tiancheng was stunned: "What are you thinking? Even if there is no blood relation, a nominal brother-sister marriage will sound even worse. Some media outlets will take advantage of the situation to gain traffic and say that we raised Xiao Qi to be a child bride. It will be even harder to handle that then."

Zhao Meihua was puzzled: "You're usually so fierce to our son, I thought you didn't care about his future."

“It’s not that I don’t care,” Shen Tiancheng paused, “it’s precisely because I’m so worried that I’m being extremely cautious.”

Zhao Meihua sighed: "Shen Tiancheng, I'll make this clear: our Chao Huai absolutely cannot have an ambiguous relationship with an adopted daughter."

Shen Tiancheng also noticed something: Su Qi and Shen Chaohuai had been getting too close lately, whereas before they would never give each other a friendly look when they met.

Now, Shen Chaohuai is speaking up for her and taking her home, which is really abnormal.

Seeing this, Gu Yan didn't dare to provoke them. Instead, she smiled and said, "Oh dear, it's good that Chao Huai and Xiao Qi are getting along well now. How could it be the kind of relationship that you and your brother-in-law are thinking? Chao Huai isn't a child anymore, so he naturally knows his limits."

"But that little Qi..."

Gu Yan's words had a hidden meaning.

At this moment, Su Qi was sitting by the window in her room, flipping through the books left behind by the original owner of the body. She became more and more engrossed in reading them, ignoring the commotion upstairs.

Feifei and Su Qi also started reading a book.

Master, this plot doesn't make any sense at all.

Why can't the adopted child be with the young master? They're not related by blood.

Su Qi was moved to tears by the plot.

"..."

[Damn bad ending!]

Feifei used her superpower, and with a whoosh, the book pages were blown shut.

At the same time, Shen Chaohuai noticed that Gu Yan had gone to her parents' room and vaguely heard them talking, so he went to the door to eavesdrop.

All that could be heard was Gu Yan saying, "Xiao Qi isn't a well-behaved child; there's no guarantee he won't have wicked thoughts in the future."

"She's so rebellious now, who knows if she'll scheme to take over the family fortune later? If she gets her hands on Chaohuai, things will get out of control."

"I bet she's entering the entertainment industry now to build connections and popularity. Once she has a lot of supporters, everyone will listen to her, and she can control public opinion. Then the whole internet will know how her older sister and brother-in-law treat her in private."

Shen Tiancheng was quite frightened: "This won't do."

Zhao Meihua slapped her thigh: "I should have known, this child was never going to be well-behaved!"

Shen Tiancheng seemed to dislike Su Qi even more: "Fortunately, Tianhai is a brokerage firm invested in by our family."

Fortunately, Xiao Qi is still under control.

Gu Yan smiled and said, "That's easy. We can just trip up Xiao Qi so she can't become a top star."

Shen Tiancheng nodded: "This is easy. Xiao Qi doesn't have many resources right now, and it's even hard for her to get advertising jobs."

"Thanks to her previous self-destructive behavior, she tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, and her showmanship turned her into a disgraced celebrity." Zhao Meihua shook her head: "I'm not worried about her. With her IQ, what can she possibly accomplish?"

Shen Tiancheng rubbed his forehead, seemingly wanting to rest: "I hope they don't cause me any more trouble. It's enough if all this negative publicity affects me."

Su Qi wiped her eyes and was walking out of her room on the second floor when, in the next second, she looked up through the stairwell and saw Shen Chaohuai standing at the door of her adoptive parents' room.

She said calmly, "Shen Chaohuai."

The noise was a bit loud. The villa was empty, and the bedroom door wasn't very soundproof. Suddenly, the noise in the bedroom stopped.

Gu Yan stood up, then paused for a moment, alert. "I apologize for bothering you, elder sister and brother-in-law. However, what I said is for the good of the Shen family. Although I am not a member of the Shen family, we are still related by blood. I hope you will consider what I said."

Zhao Meihua patted her on the shoulder and said, "You're my cousin, it's only right."

Shen Chaohuai raised his slender index finger and gently placed it in front of his lips, his eyes lowered and his expression unreadable.

He slowly walked down and whispered, "Come out with me."

Su Qi followed Shen Chaohuai downstairs.

As soon as Gu Yan came out, she saw Su Qi following Shen Chaohuai out. Su Qi had her arms crossed, seemingly lost in thought, her eyes slightly narrowed and her eyebrows raised.

Walking to the back of the courtyard, Shen Chaohuai paused: "We were almost discovered, didn't you hear?"

Su Qi was taken aback. She naturally knew that Gu Yan had gone to her adoptive parents' room, but she didn't know what those people were talking about, and she didn't care at all.

Shen Chaohuai was afraid that if he said too much, the walls would be overheard. In this house, most people sided with Shen Tiancheng and Zhao Meihua.

So he hinted, "Su Qi, your aunt was very cold to you before."

"Even if you are reprimanded, they will never ask too many questions."

"So, she didn't actually need to stand up for you today."

Su Qi roughly understood Shen Chaohuai's meaning. Unsolicited kindness was either ill-intentioned or genuine. She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and smiled casually.

Su Qi didn't wear a name tag and nodded in response, "I understand. Is there anything else?"

Before Shen Chaohuai could speak, Gu Yan took a plate of freshly baked flatbread from the oven in the kitchen and placed it on the dining table.

Gu Yan came to the courtyard and said, "Xiao Qi, are you hungry? Your aunt made you something delicious."

Shen Chaohuai frowned. He was just talking badly about Su Qi behind her back, but now he's being nice to her. Is this guy crazy?

He grabbed Su Qi.

Su Qi was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Gu Yan turned her gaze to Shen Chaohuai: "Chaohuai, come sit down and eat with us."

Shen Chaohuai held onto Su Qi, preventing her from leaving.

Su Qi asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Shen Chaohuai shook his head, as if to say: That woman has ill intentions; she might be trying to poison you.

Seeing the two of them tugging at each other, Gu Yan didn't say anything. She just came up and put her arm around Su Qi, separating them: "Xiao Qi, your aunt is about the same age as you. Why don't you just treat each other as friends?"

"Chao Huai, are you afraid I'll poison you? How could I do such a thing?"

Shen Chaohuai and Su Qi sat down at the dining table, and Gu Yan immediately cut the flatbread into several pieces and put them on the plates in front of the two of them.

Su Qi skillfully used a knife and fork, casually cutting off a piece of bread and putting it in her mouth: "Not bad."

She glanced at Shen Chaohuai, who was standing there dumbfounded, and said, "Why are you looking at me? Eat."

Shen Chaohuai turned his gaze to Gu Yan, thinking resentfully: This woman really knows how to please both sides, she's got both of them wrapped around her little finger.

He chopped the pancake in front of him in a few quick strokes, his movements forceful, as if he were treating the pancake as Gu Yan.

Seeing that Shen Chaohuai was slightly hostile towards Gu Yan, Su Qi thought of something interesting, smiled, and nudged Shen Chaohuai's arm.

"Who said Auntie is bad? This Auntie is so good, she cooks for us."
