”Deputy, look, this girl seems to like staying on my phone.”

Lin Junyang sneered, took the phone, and quickly cleared the entire album.

An Family in Pingxi

An Youcai received a call and returned home, seeing his daughter An Sijia and Sun Xuehui sitting together on the sofa. Their expressions were unreadable, but there was an inexplicable atmosphere between them.

An Sijia saw An Youcai enter the room, stood up, walked over, affectionately took his arm, and called out, ”Dad.”

”Jiajia’s back. Haven’t seen you for a few months, and you’ve gotten prettier,” An Youcai looked An Sijia up and down.

This daughter was his pride. Although he didn’t quite agree with her pursuing acting, now in her sophomore year, she had signed with Jiawen Entertainment, the largest company in the Empire. When their deal with the Wenshan Group fell through, the company faced a crisis. It was this daughter who, through connections, brought in President Qi from Tianda Group in C Province, helping the company overcome the challenge and rise again.

An Youcai felt grateful for this daughter in his heart.

”What good is being pretty? Being pretty can’t beat someone with cunning, cutting off your daughter’s path,” Sun Xuehui coldly said from the sofa.

An Sijia’s face fell at Sun Xuehui’s words, looking as if she was on the verge of tears, ”Mom, don’t say that. I don’t blame sister; I was wrong in the past, naïve and ignorant. Now if sister makes things difficult for me, it’s my karma.”

”Making things difficult for you? She’s pushing you to a dead end!” Sun Xuehui’s tone was full of steel, trying to suppress her endless anger.

”What’s going on?” An Youcai looked at An Sijia wiping away tears, her aggrieved, resilient look breaking his heart.

”Nothing, just missed Dad and Mom and wanted to come back and see you,” An Sijia hurriedly wiped away the tears, looked up, but the tears at the corners of her eyes appeared even more tenuous, her forced smile making An Youcai wish he could stab himself twice.

”Jiajia, if there’s anything, tell Dad. Although Dad is old and not much of use, I won’t let my daughter suffer outside and have to fake a smile at home. Dad knows this path isn’t easy for you; I can’t help much, but if you can’t continue, you’re always welcome back. The An family’s company isn’t big, but it can feed and clothe you well and find you a good match.”

”No grievances outside, those grievances all came from your good foster daughter,” Sun Xuehui coldly sneered from the side.

”Ran?” An Youcai instinctively uttered the name, which once often graced his lips, now feeling so distant when spoken.

”Who else if not her? No matter how capable you are to find Jiajia a good match, can she marry one of the Five Young Masters of the Imperial? An Youcai, I really didn’t know this house had hidden talents,” Sun Xuehui grew increasingly sarcastic, her eyes locked onto An Youcai.

An Youcai was surrounded by her icy gaze, avoiding her eyes.

The Five Young Masters of the Imperial? He knew An Ran married one of them, Young Master Mu. Did Sun Xuehui know something else? Or perhaps she only knew An Ran was married to Young Master Mu. Even so, wasn’t it her who personally handed An Ran off to Young Master Mu back then?

”Xuehui, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Wasn’t it you who orchestrated Ran’s marriage to Young Master Mu?” An Youcai lowered his head, retorting.
