Madam Chu looked at her husband.

Chu's father remained silent, then quickly verified the information through internal channels, and the result was correct.

"Your name is Wang Suya? Where have you been all these years? How have you been living?"

He looked at Wang Suya with a deep gaze.

Wang Suya had already prepared her story in mind, and she recounted her tragic upbringing, how she struggled to survive in an ordinary family, and how she never gave up on her studies despite the difficult conditions.

She deliberately downplayed her feelings for her adoptive parents, highlighting her resilience and the hardships she had endured.

"Mom? Who is she? She said... she's your daughter? What about me?"

Just then, Zixi, who had been quietly eating snacks, seemed to finally realize something.

She put down the snack bag, jumped off the beanbag chair, and walked to Mrs. Chu's side, looking somewhat bewildered.

Madam Chu looked at Zi Xi nestled beside her, then at Wang Suya standing below, her figure slender yet her back straight, and was speechless for a moment.

To be fair, after raising a pet for eighteen years, you'd develop feelings for it, even if it were just a pet. Besides, although Zixi wasn't very good, she was still quite obedient.

But the one in front of her was her own flesh and blood.

"The evidence is conclusive; Suya is indeed our younger sister."

Chu Feng, the eldest brother of the Chu family, has a completely calm and calculating businessman's mind.

“Zi Xi, you have occupied Su Ya’s position for eighteen years.”

He looked at Zi Xi, his gaze still carrying a hint of indifference.

This good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat was kept at home only to amuse his mother; it turns out he wasn't even her biological child.

"Does my brother mean he's going to kick me out?"

Zi Xi's beautiful eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she pouted pitifully.

"This is her home! What do you mean by kicking you out?"

Chu Yun, the second brother of the Chu family, who hadn't said much, was more direct. He had always been critical of Zi Xi's usual good-for-nothing behavior, but now he felt much more favorably disposed towards Wang Suya's positive and ambitious personality, and the scales naturally tipped in his favor.

Wang Suya took in all of this, and her sneer inwardly grew even stronger.

This is the Chu family; interests and blood ties always take precedence over emotions.

But this was exactly what she had planned.

She knew that her status as the true heiress might be enough to bring her back, but it wouldn't be enough to replace the remaining affection Zi Xi held in the Chu family's hearts, much less to gain her sufficient attention and resources.

It's time to throw out her chips.

Wang Suya took a light breath, as if gathering her courage, and took out a beautifully crafted notebook with the Chefs Association emblem from her personal spatial storage.

"Dad, Mom, brother..."

“I know that I have been absent for eighteen years, and people may not be used to my sudden return.”

"I know I may not be as good at pleasing people as my sister, but I've always tried my best."

Wang Suya used a more intimate term of address, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

“I didn’t want to embarrass my family, so while working and completing my studies, I also obtained a chef’s certificate from the Chefs Association.”

"Even though it's just a basic level, I will work harder."

She paused for a moment, then presented the small notebook in her hands with both hands.

A basic chef's certificate?!

This immediately caused a huge stir in the hearts of the Chu family members.

Father Chu sat up abruptly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Madam Chu covered her mouth, looking at Wang Suya in disbelief, her guilt instantly replaced by immense joy.
