Outside the banquet hall, a sharp and commanding shout echoed as two older brothers stormed in with a large group of bodyguards dressed in black. The security guard holding me immediately released his grip.
Su Qi instinctively took a step back in panic but quickly steadied herself. I looked up to see my Book Boy with blood at the corner of his mouth, looking at me apologetically.
The eldest brother stepped forward, anxiously asking Adopted Daughter Su Qi if she was alright. The Second Brother glanced at Su Qi and then shot a disdainful look at me.
"You White-eyed Wolf, trying to steal Little Bai's things? You want Little Bai to go to jail too? You've got some nerve!"
In my last life, my brothers always favored Adopted Daughter Su Qi like this. To win their favor, I tried to imitate Su Qi in every way, only to be met with ridicule from Dong Shi Imitating Pining, and I was mistakenly thought to be the true Adopted Daughter of the Su Family.
Having lived again, I fully understood that no matter how hard one tries, biased people will never change their views.
Thinking of this, I shot a cold glare and mocked, "What? Should I learn Su Qi's pretentiousness or her underhanded tactics?"
"An Adopted Daughter of the Su Family is worthy of my imitation? Have you all twisted facts to the point of addiction?"
As my brothers appeared, the guests began to take sides.
"How dare you contradict the words of the two young masters of the Su Family? No wonder this White-eyed Wolf dares to bully Miss Su!"
"This kind of White-eyed Wolf is only being tolerated by Miss Su's kindness; who would have thought they would become increasingly outrageous and even try to impersonate Miss Su to take over her business!"
My Book Boy rushed over, wiping the blood from his mouth, and shouted loudly, "Su Lin and Miss Su are the rightful heirs of the company!"
The eldest brother frowned. "Su Lin, I'm very disappointed in you for letting this little Book Boy slander Su Qi. From today on, only Su Qi is my sister."
The Second Brother shoved me aside. "It's all my fault for not keeping an eye on you that you've developed such thoughts of impersonation."
My Childhood Sweetheart, Han Qing, indignantly stood behind Su Qi. "Su Lin, you shameless person; I'm ashamed to be associated with you!"
"Su Qi is my ideal wife!"
Saying this, she placed the Han family's ancestral jade pendant around Su Qi's neck right in front of me. Su Qi looked pleasantly surprised, smiled triumphantly, then pretended to lower her gaze with a sorrowful expression.
"I was too soft-hearted before, foolishly hoping to change her. I never expected this orphan would try to take over my place. I was wrong."
Su Qi's words made the three of them look at him with pity in their eyes.
She continued loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, who is the young lady of the Su Family? Who is going to inherit the Su Family's company? I believe everyone knows the answer clearly by now!"
As she spoke, Su Qi raised an eyebrow at me, looking quite pleased with herself.
I let out a soft scoff; my trump card was about to be revealed.
Seeing that I showed no remorse, my brothers' anger was fully ignited.
The Second Brother spoke coldly, "Eldest Brother, it's outrageous that Su Lin is impersonating someone else. We should just kick her out of the family."
The Eldest Brother hesitated, "Forget it. If you kneel and apologize to Xiaobai now, we can let this go."
Su Qi's expression stiffened; she didn't want me to stay in the Su Family and could only reluctantly say, "Eldest Brother, it's fine. What belongs to me will ultimately remain mine."
"But sister, even if you're being willful, you shouldn't embarrass the Su Family in public."
The Eldest Brother's face changed suddenly; this was about the Su Family's reputation.
"Su Lin, why aren't you kneeling down to admit your mistake?"
Looking at my brothers' cold and ruthless expressions, I couldn't help but laugh.
These were the two brothers I had clung to since childhood.
They were merely my cousins from an ordinary background, and just because I liked playing with them when I was little, my parents had let them into the Su Family and allowed them to enjoy wealth and power under its name.
I shook my head; it truly felt like I was feeding my heart to dogs.
"Kneel? I'm the legitimate member of the Su Family! You side branches have no right to command me!"
I glared coldly at the Eldest Brother and questioned him.
The Second Brother snorted disdainfully, "Right? With our parents gone, what Eldest Brother says is the rule."
The Eldest Brother was completely enraged. "Security! Get her out of here! From now on, she can forget about stepping into the Su Family again!"
Su Qi looked at me arrogantly, her face filled with indignation. "Su Lin, it's one thing for you to bully me, but how dare you go against our brothers?"
"Security, break her legs so she can't even crawl away before throwing her out!"
The two brothers nodded silently, and Su Qi looked at me with a smug expression.
Outside the hall, a large number of bodyguards surged in, accompanied by a thunderous roar.
"Who has the audacity! Today, I want to see who dares to break my daughter's legs!"
