But her mouth showed no mercy.

“Long legs are indeed something to be proud of.”

“So corgis can only be praised for being cute.”

The first reaction of the Feng family upon seeing Chu Shuangye was not much different from the Chu family members.

Whether out of genuine sentiment or as basic emotional intelligence of sophisticated people, everyone’s first reaction to a girl whose appearance and style had changed dramatically was certainly praise.

But after the compliments, Chu Shuangye also vaguely sensed something was off about this family dinner.

After the meal, this could be intuitively felt from Old Master Feng’s granddaughter, Feng Zhiqiao.

“Dressing up so flashily, isn’t it because you’re still thinking about my cousin?” Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, her tone full of disdain, then she lowered her head to play games again.

The seventeen-year-old girl was raised with pride, having been the center of attention since childhood.

In the book, she first targeted Chu Shuangye, then attacked Chu Feitao, contributing plenty of firepower from start to finish.

Just as Chu Shuangye was about to retort, an extremely cold voice came through.

“Feng Zhiqiao, how are you speaking to your aunt?” The man’s features naturally carried an oppressive aura, normally commanding respect without anger, and even more so at this moment.

“Me?” Feng Zhiqiao raised her voice a notch, shouting in shock, “Did I say something wrong?!”

This was the first time she’d seen Feng Mingzhang defend this white lotus, and Feng Zhiqiao could hardly believe it. Had the sun risen in the west?

“You’re even speaking up for her, but I’m the one with the Feng surname, we’re family!”

“Cousin just came back from a business trip, and she went to knock on his door at eight o’clock at night. Does she even know what it means to avoid suspicion?” Feng Zhiqiao was indignant. “Uncle, can you even tolerate this?”

As she spoke, she got worked up herself, looking quite angry.

Seeing her like this, Chu Shuangye just found it amusing.

She “pfft” softly, covering her mouth, not taking her hostility seriously at all. “Your uncle and I have a great relationship.”

“But you might need to endure it! Recently, I was just trying to matchmake my sister with your cousin. If that marriage comes to fruition, having two people with the Chu surname in the family…”

Her tone was casual, and she stopped abruptly, saying no more.

Feng Zhiqiao couldn’t stand her, and couldn’t stand Chu Feitao either. In her eyes, both her uncle and cousin deserved the gentlest, most considerate women in the world.

Chu Shuangye just wouldn’t let her be comfortable.

“You—!” Feng Zhiqiao was furious, unable to say a word for a long time.

“Oh right, little niece, I remember you’re seventeen now, aren’t you still in your second year of high school? How come you’re not at school today, staying home instead?”

Knowing Feng Zhiqiao didn’t want to deal with her, Chu Shuangye tugged at Feng Mingzhang’s sleeve, blinked, looking genuinely puzzled.

She really didn’t know why Feng Zhiqiao was still lounging at home on a Monday.

She’d heard that she and Chu Muchun attended the same school. Chu Muchun had gone to evening study session last night, yet she was still playing games with such righteousness – it was truly strange.

“I remember my brother saying your school is very strict.”

After hearing this sentence, Feng Zhiqiao completely exploded.

“Mind your own business! Chu Muchun is just a bookworm, what good words could a bookworm say!”

Feng Mingzhang looked at his extremely spoiled little niece without emotion, but his words clearly sided with Chu Shuangye.

“She was playing basketball in the hallway and hit the principal,” he said unhurriedly. “Suspended for a week, three thousand word self-reflection essay.”

Before he finished speaking, Feng Zhiqiao huffed angrily, then stomped upstairs with heavy steps, slamming the door with a loud “bang.”

The drama ended.

Feng Mingzhang was quite helpless with this little niece. He rubbed his temples and said to Chu Shuangye in a low voice, “Sorry.”

She waved at Feng Mingzhang with a smile, not understanding why he needed to apologize for his little niece.

This Feng Zhiqiao seemed much easier to deal with than Chu Feitao – it was like playing with a child.

“It’s fine,” Chu Shuangye was in good spirits, “we’re all family anyway.”

Actually, the moment she walked into the Feng family’s old mansion, she had already realized that the Feng family was probably dissatisfied with her behavior that night, which was why they had this family dinner – to demand an explanation.

After all, it was a mess left by the original owner, so she wouldn’t actively stir up trouble.
