Chu Xianmin was so surprised to see this familiar face that she almost bolted from her seat.-

“Yue’er!” Chu Ning rushed over nervously the moment he saw his daughter. “Yue’er, what happened to you?”

The worrying look in Chu Ning’s eyes warmed Chu Liuyue’s heart. She could feel it. Chu Ning truly loved his daughter. Even though she was a loser, his love for her as a father had not lessened.

A pity. The real Chu Liuyue was dead.

Chu Liuyue patted Chu Ning’s hand and gave him a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry, Father. I’m fine.”

Chu Ning was still unconvinced even after her reassurance. However, upon a closer look, she didn’t seem to be hurt. He finally let go of that stone in his heart. For some reason, he was puzzled when he saw the smile on his daughter’s face. There was something different about her. In the past, Yue’er was always submissive and delicate. However, at this moment, her black irises seemed to be sparkling like the brightest stars in the night sky.

“Sister, you’re back! I was sick with worry.”

Chu Liuyue looked up and saw that Chu Xianmin looked ecstatic as if she was truly happy to see Chu Liuyue.

Chu Liuyue sneered inwardly. Chu Xianmin’s worry was more from fear of seeing her safe return. “Oh? Were you really worried about me, Third Sister? I seem to recall that you were accusing me of theft just now when I was standing outside,” retorted Chu Liuyue, unflustered.

Chu Xianmin felt a cold sweat form on her back in an instant.

“Dear Sister, you must be mistaken. You were not back, and it was getting late. I was anxious and came to ask First Elder about it.” With that, her eyes started to well up with tears again. “After all you can’t even protect yourself. If you were bullied while you were out, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.” Chu Xianmin was deliberately mocking her for being a loser because she couldn’t cultivate.

If it was the former Chu Liuyue, she would have been deceived by Chu Xianmin’s act, that the latter had truly been worried. However, Chu Liuyue was a changed person. She would not be tricked by Chu Xianmin’s unorthodox means.

Chu Xianmin was the most gifted amongst the Chu family’s younger generation. By saying such things, she was implying that Chu Liuyue was useless. Even her leaving the house was a problem!

Sure enough, First Elder’s eyes immediately filled with disgust as he reprimanded angrily. “Who knows what you’ve been doing out so late today! If you can’t even handle such trivial matters, don’t bother going out anymore! You’ll only shame our family name. Such a good-for-nothing!”

Chu Ning’s expression suddenly turned cold. He stepped forward, shielding Chu Liuyue behind him. With both fists tightly clenched by his side, he forced himself to restrain his emotions. “First Elder, Yue’er is still a child. Aren’t you being too harsh on her?” He might not be who he used to be, but he simply couldn’t allow other people to bully his daughter.

Chu Liuyue was startled as she stared at the towering figure in front of her. She was overwhelmed. In her last life, she was destined to be a strong and noble princess. She always handled everything herself. To her, being loved was a foreign feeling that was too precious.

She would do everything to protect the people who truly loved her this time. Whatever it took.

“Father.” Chu Liuyue tugged his hand and stepped forward.

Chu Ning looked at her, fully expecting her to give in like she always did. However, all he saw was calmness in her eyes.

The petite girl straightened her back and lifted her chin. There was an inexplicable strength within her. “Don’t worry, First Elder. Everything that needed to be bought is in order and is being delivered to the warehouse. You can go and check if you don’t believe me. As for why I came back so late today, I think Third Sister knows best.”

“Sister, what nonsense are you spouting?” Chu Xianmin panicked when she heard this. The tone of her voice became hostile.
