Meanwhile, inside the castle.
The person who was destined to be reincarnated had no idea that others envied her, so much so that they wanted to bang their heads against a pillar to be reincarnated again.
Qiao Qiao had just finished her main meal and was now happily enjoying dessert with her older siblings around a small round table.
Qiao Qiao loves sweets, and Yan Lidi knows this too.
So long before Qiao Qiao moved into the castle, Yan Liti had invited a famous pastry chef from Kyoto to the castle so that Qiao Qiao could eat the freshest and most delicious desserts every day.
Because it was a buffet, people didn't all sit together. Instead, they gathered in small groups, found a spot, and leisurely ate, drank, chatted, and laughed.
The atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious, just like a typical family gathering.
Of course, this excludes Mr. Shen, who was severely traumatized.
Grandpa Shen is a serious person who rarely smiles. Before coming, he thought he had taken good care of his granddaughter.
Unexpectedly, Yan Liti quickly proved him wrong.
Moreover, the slap in the face was extremely harsh, so harsh that he no longer had the will to approach Qiao Qiao.
He sat alone in his wheelchair in a corner of the castle, staring blankly at the warmth and laughter filling the room, like an outsider who had stumbled into a world that didn't belong to him.
This feeling was far more lonely and desolate than when he lived in the sanatorium.
On the table beside him was food that Wei Xingzhi had given him, but it had long since gone cold.
Look at how dejected Old Master Shen looks.
Others can pretend they didn't see it and don't care, but Old Master Tan and Old Master Chang can't do that.
After all, it's been a long-time partner.
The two elderly people exchanged a glance, then walked over to Mr. Shen's side and asked two servants to bring out chairs for them to sit down.
Old Master Shen sensed the movement around him, but he didn't pay any attention to it.
His gaze remained fixed on Qiao Qiao, who was not far away.
The little girl sat among a group of older brothers and sisters, and being the youngest, she naturally became the darling of all of them.
They don't even need adults to specifically teach or instruct them; they already know how to give way to and dote on their youngest sister.
Tan Yan and Wang Chun almost got into a fight over who should feed the little girl.
“My mom said, ‘This is my little sister! So I’m the older brother, and it’s my turn to feed my little sister!’” Tan Yan said.
“That doesn’t count. You and my sister aren’t related by blood. My mother said that my sister is a relative of our family, and we are the real siblings,” Wang Chun retorted.
In Wang Chun's generation, there were only three brothers in the Wang family.
But Wang Chun's maternal grandmother's family had several younger sisters, but the sisters were all prone to crying and making a fuss, and they also loved to tattle. Wang Chun found them troublesome and didn't like playing with them at all. Usually, she would avoid them whenever she saw them.
After learning that her father had a younger cousin, Wang Chun didn't seem to care much.
He considered himself a man and disdained playing with little girls.
However, Qiao Qiao, this younger sister, is just too beautiful.
She's tiny and pink, and her way of calling him "brother" is incredibly sweet. Her smile is just like that of a little angel.
Wang Chun was captivated at first sight.
I decided to be nice to this little sister and to play with her.
As it turned out, there were too many brothers and too many sisters here, so he never got a chance to play with his sister. Instead, when he tried to feed his sister, a bunch of people would fight with him for food.
Upon hearing Wang Chun's words, Tan Yan immediately broke down.
Although he was young, he knew that Qiao Qiao and his family were not related by blood at all.
He was furious.
Her little eyes turned red from holding back her tears.
But he wouldn't give up so easily. In the end, he got up, took off his suit jacket, flung it onto his seat with an air of authority, rolled up his sleeves, and started hurling threats at Wang Chun.
"I don't care, my sister is mine, you're not allowed to take her. Otherwise, let's fight, and whoever wins gets to keep her!"
"Fine, go ahead and fight. If you kill my sister, she'll be mine," Tan Qian said quietly from the side.
He scooped his younger sister into his arms and pulled the pudding bowl that the two boys had been fighting over to his side to feed Qiao Qiao with a small spoon.
"Qiaoqiao, come here, let your sister feed you. We'll eat while we watch those two idiots fight, just like watching a movie."
"Sister!" Tan Yan stomped her feet in anger.
Tan Qian frowned, glanced at him, and said in a warning tone, "Tan Yan, don't think that just because we're at Grandma Yan's house, I won't beat you up. If you cause any more trouble, I guarantee you'll soon find out why the flowers are so red."
"..." Tan Yan.
Tan Yan dared not cause any more trouble.
She glared angrily at Wang Chun beside her and sat down.
Qiao Qiao sat obediently on Tan Qian's lap, and seeing that the two older boys had tense little faces and seemed unhappy, she jumped off Tan Qian's lap.
She pushed two glasses of orange juice to the two young men and offered them to them.
But the two boys still couldn't stand each other.
Tan Yan asked, "Little Qiaoqiao, tell me, who is your brother?"
Wang Chun chimed in, "Yes, little sister, tell this kid whose sister you are."
The little girl was clearly very experienced in the matter of her brothers vying for her affections.
When Qiao Qiao heard the two young men questioning her, she didn't panic. Instead, she smiled her sweetest smile.
He said with a smile, "You are all older brothers, but Brother Xiaoyan is Qiao Qiao's bravest older brother, and Brother Xiaochun is Qiao Qiao's most handsome older brother."
A sweet, soft voice said, "Brother Xiaoyan, Brother Xiaochun, stop arguing. Drink your juice, and you'll both be Qiaoqiao's good brothers."
He held a bowl of water, keeping it level and steady.
Upon hearing this, the two boys were indeed satisfied and stopped making a fuss.
Woof: "What about me, little sister? What about me?"
“You’re the cutest brother.” Qiao Qiao readily agreed.
The cutest little dog brother instantly broke into a smile.
Having successfully resolved the internal conflict among the boys, the little girl clapped her hands and returned to Tan Qian's arms with another small cake, warmly inviting, "Sister Qian, this cake is a chocolate cake, Qiao Qiao loves it the most, let's eat it together."
The implication was that she was sharing her favorite food with Tan Qian.
Sure enough, Tan Qian was pleased to hear this and pulled her younger sister closer to her, and the two happily shared a small cake.
Three elderly people not far away witnessed the entire scene.
"This child, still so sweet-talking." Old Master Chang chuckled softly, his eyes naturally filled with affection.
The old man's eyes were full of smiles.
But when he glanced at Old Master Shen beside him, he sighed helplessly again.
Using a casual tone, she asked, "Do you regret it now?"
Old Master Shen remained silent, but his meaning was clear.
