After the real daughter was reborn, she became the favorite of the whole family

Yang Qinghe was happily chatting with her granddaughter when she was suddenly interrupted by someone, who looked somewhat cold.

What Cui Wanning feared most was her eyes. When Yang Qinghe glared at her like that, she instantly wilted.

Zhou Wanyi tried to smooth things over at the right time, "Grandma, I specially prepared a birthday gift for you. However, I want to wait until the birthday banquet starts tonight before giving it to you."

Yang Qinghe immediately laughed, "Okay, okay, I'll just wait for Yi Yi's surprise gift for me."

Cui Wanning's plan failed somewhat, but she was still glad that Zhou Wanyi was stupid. She only thought about showing her courtesy at the beginning of the birthday banquet, but ignored that her gift was the most annoying. Then she would be laughed at by everyone.

She glanced at Zhou Wanyi who was surrounded by two elders, and laughed in her heart: Just wait, Zhou Wanyi, today I will make you fall to the bottom and you will never be able to get up again.

At about six o'clock in the evening, the invited guests arrived one after another. Instantly, the Cui family's old house became lively, and Cui Wanning still acted like the eldest daughter of the Cui family and was able to please everyone.

On the contrary, Zhou Wanyi stood alone at the handrail on the second floor, holding a small cup of fruit wine with almost no alcohol content and sipping it lightly. He looked down at the guests present, but unfortunately, that one person was missing.

"Why hasn't he come yet?" She couldn't help feeling annoyed, worried that it would affect her subsequent plans.

The irritability aggravated her thirst, and when Zhou Wanyi was about to drink the fruit wine, she found that the glass was already empty. She had no choice but to go downstairs to get a drink.

Zhou Wanyi just walked to the stairs and bumped into Cui Wanning who was going upstairs. "Sister, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

"What does my sister want me to do?"

"Of course I want you to join me. Many of the guests here today are partners of the Cui family, so I want to come and find you to join me."

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Cui Wanning, "Did your parents ask you to come to me?"

"No, what's wrong?" Cui Wanning was a little confused and didn't understand why she asked that.

"Was that grandparents' or my brothers' idea?"

“No…” For some reason Zhou Wanyi’s eyes looked unpleasant to deal with, and she was speechless for a moment.

"Neither. Why should I go with you? It's not our turn to get to know the Cui family's partners, right?" Zhou Wanyi crossed his arms and looked her up and down, "Or do you have other thoughts in mind?"

"I...what else could I think of? I was just saying hello." Cui Wanning didn't expect that she would be led by Zhou Wanyi and was accused of something for no reason.

Zhou Wan raised her eyelids slightly and said in a bad tone, "Sister, anyone with eyes can see that you are showing off." She reached out to tidy up Cui Wanning's hair, with a sense of oppression, "It's just that the adopted daughter is showing off under the name of the eldest daughter of the Cui family. Who here would not know what you are thinking?"

The truth was revealed by Zhou Wanyi, just like stripping her of her clothes and humiliating her. But she was right. Everyone present, no, it should be said that all the upper class people in Jinghai City knew that the Cui family had an adopted daughter. And now the adopted daughter was still showing off in front of people without knowing how those people would talk about her behind her back.

Cui Wanning bit her lower lip tightly, and the huge sense of humiliation turned into anger at this moment. She raised her head gloomily, blaming Zhou Wanyi. If she hadn't returned to the Cui family, she would always be the eldest daughter of the Cui family. That's right, it was all Zhou Wanyi's fault.

"Then sister, I'll go downstairs to get a drink first." As he spoke, Zhou Wanyi was about to pass by her and prepare to go downstairs.

Cui Wanning suddenly pulled her arm vigorously, "You can't leave."

The two of them pulled each other so hard that the wine glass in Zhou Wanyi's hand slipped out of her hand in an instant. With a "crack", the glass of wine glass fell from the second floor stairs into the first floor lobby, and the sound instantly resounded throughout the banquet hall.

The guests in the banquet hall on the first floor were whispering, and the sound of glass breaking instantly attracted their attention. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Cui Wanning and Zhou Wanyi. Cui Wanning was caught off guard by so many people watching, and she felt guilty for a moment, so she loosened her grip. It just so happened that when she grabbed Zhou Wanyi, she was about to go downstairs. So when Cui Wanning released the force on her hand, Zhou Wanyi's foot slipped and fell directly to the stairs behind.

"Ah!" Zhou Wan screamed subconsciously. In her previous life, she was the one who was tricked by Cui Wanning and rolled down the stairs, and she was scolded. As fate would have it, this time she was the one who rolled down the stairs.

Zhou Wanyi knew that she couldn't avoid it this time, so she simply closed her eyes and hugged her head with both hands to reduce the biggest risk. To her surprise, she didn't feel any pain, but instead felt a burst of warmth from her shoulders. The refreshing smell of mint and citrus, like grass after rain, soaked into her nose.

Zhou Wanyi felt settled down only when he stepped on the stairs. He looked up at Jiang Zhi who was supporting him. His face was half in the shadows, his profile was sharp, his eyes were half-closed, and his thin lips were in a weird smile.

Jiang Zhi lowered his eyes and said sternly, "Miss Cui, this is murdering someone in public."

"No—it was an accident."

The guests who were originally watching not far away, seeing Jiang Zhi appear, came to the stairs with malicious gossip, intending to hear some secrets about the aristocratic family.

"It's an accident. Why do I feel like it was a deliberate murder?" Jiang Zhi's tone was blunt and full of sarcasm. "The adopted daughter of the Cui family deliberately murdered her own daughter at the elder's birthday party. Tsk, it's really interesting."

"What? A biological daughter? The Cui family's lost daughter was found?"

"I haven't heard from President Cui, but what Young Master Jiang said can't be false, right?"

"That is to say, the adopted daughter couldn't bear to see her biological daughter come home, so she pushed her down the stairs."

This is not a rumor. After all, many people present just now saw Cui Wanning let go.

Cui Wanning also heard the voices of those people, and each word pierced her heart. She tried to make herself look calm, but when she met Jiang Zhi's eyes, her legs trembled unconsciously, she felt dizzy, and collapsed to the ground the next second.

Ten years, all the hard work she had put in, was ruined.

"What happened? Why are there so many people gathered here?" Cui Qi ran over from somewhere, followed by Cui Yuanyang, Qiao Ling, Cui Yu, and grandparents.

Jiang Zhi was worried about Zhou Wanyi, so he kept his arm around her shoulders and helped her down the stairs.

Cui Qi felt uncomfortable when he saw his actions, "No, why are you so close to my sister?" He wanted to slap Jiang Zhi's hand away.

Zhou Wanyi didn't dare to be too intimate with Jiang Zhi in front of so many family members. She tugged at his clothes, signaling him to let her go.

"What's wrong with you? Were you hurt when you were pushed down the stairs just now?" But Jiang Zhi didn't know whether she was doing it on purpose or pretending to be stupid, and he couldn't understand her hint.

"What? Who pushed Yi Yi down the stairs? Where was she hurt?" Qiao Ling immediately became nervous after hearing his words.
