Before the luxurious villa stood a tall and handsome boy, his cold eyes fixed on the closed door.

His left hand rested casually on the handle of his suitcase, his right hand dangling by his side, his index finger tapping rhythmically. He looked nonchalant.

"Miss, you're here?" Aunt Lin opened the villa gate, her tone dismissive upon seeing who stood outside.

He is an elder of the Lu family and enjoys the trust of the Lu couple.

Lu Qingyi lightly nodded, bypassed Aunt Lin and walked into the villa.

"Well, can't you speak anymore?"

In the living room, a couple sat on the sofa. The well-maintained woman was applying a face mask and watching a drama, while the man crossed his legs and read a newspaper.

Lu Yao caught sight of Lu Qingyi going upstairs. He put down the newspaper, frowned, and his expression was a little angry.

Lu Qingyi's footsteps faltered: "Mom and Dad."

His voice was cold and distant, utterly incomprehensible.

"Be more obedient, I've contacted your school," Lu said to the child, frowning slightly, his expression disapproving.

Lu Qingyi was abandoned to his grandmother when he was just one year old. If it hadn't been for the elderly woman's plea for him to take care of Lu Qingyi before she died, he wouldn't have even considered taking him back.

From the moment Lü Qingyi was born, he had never looked at the child properly. After discussing with his wife, they initially planned to send him to an orphanage. However, his mother-in-law wanted to raise him herself, so he didn't interfere any further.

"Stay out of trouble, or we wouldn't even bother with you if it weren't for your grandmother."

He tore off the noodles, his tone flat as if Lu Qingyi were just a stranger with no connection to him.

Lü Qing'yi's biological mother, Yao Shu, is a very beautiful woman. Lü Qing'yi's beauty also almost inherited from her, but it still needs to be further developed.

Lu Qingyi glanced at the two of them, then took her suitcase upstairs.

Although the Lu family couple has never visited, every year during Lunar New Year, their grandmother brings them to stay at the Lu's house for a night. There is also a room for them here.

I never understood why my parents didn't like me and only liked my younger twin siblings who were a year younger than me.

I used to need the care of my parents, but now that I am grown up, I don't need it anymore.

Lying on the big bed, Lü Qingyi felt a little amused.

Speaking of Lu Qingyi's name, it was actually chosen by my grandmother. My grandmother was a teacher when she was young, well-educated, and the names she chose were beautiful.

"Sister, you can finally go home."

The door opened, Lu Jiayue stood with her hands behind her back. Her voice was sweet as she looked into Lu Qingyi's eyes, a hint of joy in them.

"Sister, please have some chocolate. This brand is so delicious, a lot of people at our school like it, you definitely haven't tried it before, right?"

Lu Jiayue walked in, placed the chocolate on the dressing table, and smiled faintly.

Kind, gentle and simple.

Lu Qingyi glanced at the chocolate, a barely perceptible smirk playing on her lips.

It's true, it's a big brand and expensive. But I'm tired of this brand's chocolate.

"Sister, Mom said you stopped going to school a long time ago. What are you doing now? Dad seems to want you to go to our school and get your high school diploma."

Lu Jiayue didn't care if Lu Qingyi acknowledged her or not, she chattered on and on. Her tone was full of concern, just like a younger sister who particularly cared for her older sister.

Graduate with a degree?

Heh, Lu Qingyi's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Lu Jiayue, finding her gaze increasingly interesting.

This little sister looks innocent, but she's very cunning.

Lu Qingyi sat up, propped herself up, and tilted her head, looking at Lu Jiayue with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "We, it seems, don't..."

The voice was cold and clear.

Well, this little sister of mine, she's got a sharp mind.

"Sister, how could we not? Our mom and dad are the same."

Lucy blinked her eyes, looking very confused.

Lù Jiàyuè, I know you don't welcome me. Of course, if it weren't for grandma's wish, I wouldn't bother coming back.

Lu Qingyi stood up, narrowed her eyes, and leaned closer to Lu Jiayue a few points, her voice cold.

Grandma's biggest wish is that Xi could repair her relationship with her parents and return to this home.

"Sister, what are you saying? There's no way I wouldn't welcome you."

Lu Jiayue bit her lip particularly aggrievedly, looking pitifully pitiful.

"Temper your anger."

Lu Yao walked in with a white envelope in his hand. Seeing Lu Jiayue, he looked pitiful. Lu Qingyi had a half-smile and half-frown expression.

His eyes, usually filled with melancholy, now brimmed with anger. Lu Jiayue was his precious treasure, the one he held in the palm of his hand and cherished above all else.

"Yue Yue, don't be upset. Your older sister grew up in the countryside and doesn't understand social norms, so don't take it personally."

Lu Yao retracted his anger, gently stroking Lu Jiayue's hair, his words filled with warmth.

Look, this is the difference.

Lu Qingyi sneered, facing < >Lu Yao and Yao Shu were cold-eyed onlookers, as if strangers. Facing Lu Jiayue and Lu Jiahao, they were a different person altogether, with the demeanor of loving parents.

“I’ve finished your enrollment paperwork. Get to school tomorrow.”

Lu Yao slammed the white envelope onto the dressing table, his expression stern and disdainful.

Whether it was fated for him or not, she hoped that even if he didn't like Lu Qingyi, he would be able to live a better life in the future.

Only studying can lead to a better future.

"Dad, are you going to let sister go to No. 1 Middle School? Her grades…"

Lu Jiayue tore open the envelope. The words "Noticing from No. 1 Middle School" in bold black ink stood out particularly prominently inside.

Hesitantly, he glanced at Lu Qingyi with a bite to his lip before falling silent.

"Yi Zhong?" Lu Qingyi raised an eyebrow, casually chewing on the two words.

"This is the best high school in the city. I'm not expecting you to get into college. You just need to graduate high school. After you graduate, I'll arrange a job for you."

Lu Yao frowned, he hated Lu Qingyi's nonchalant attitude.

If his mother-in-law gave him a thousand warnings and Qing'yi was indeed his biological son, he really wouldn't want to take care of him.

Seeing him like this, he felt enraged.

"Hmph, high school? I thought you'd arrange a university for me."

Lü Qingyi let out a snort of laughter, took the notice, and her eyes were full of mockery.

Class 3 (Twenty), Lu Qingyi.

The worst class in the whole school, huh.

"You didn't even finish high school and you're already thinking about college?" Lu Yao laughed, his eyes looking up and down at Lu Qingyi with disdain.

He really is handsome, unbelievably so. But he is from the countryside after all, he lacks culture.

His stepmother, Yao Huijuan, also said that Lu Qingyi had not finished high school.

"Sister, it's okay. I'm doing well in school. I can tutor you starting from high school level knowledge."

Lu Jiayue stepped forward and tugged on Lu Jiayue's sleeve, speaking with concern:

"Guide me? Do you have the capacity for that?"

Lu Qingyi looked at Lu Jiayue with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "High school knowledge is just child's play to me."

"I've sent you a notice. Get ready to hit the books tomorrow, I've arranged accommodation for you."

Lu Yao frowned and pulled Lu Jiayue out.

Seeing Lu Qingyi, his heart ached too. He might as well just throw Lu Qingyi into school.
