“If Fanxing wants to come back, then allow her to. After all, she is our child.” Yun Xiaohuai was a businessman, and he had already thought of some benefits he could derive from this. “Besides, her grandmother is getting old, and if she passed on, Fanxing would have to come back anyway.”

“Do you think it’s that simple? What if others get to know…?”

Xie Huixiu was anxious and worried.

It wasn’t because she didn’t love her daughter.

But there were many realities that confined them in their upper-class society. Only those who belonged to that circle would understand.

If an idiot appeared abruptly in their upper-class society, it would definitely be widely gossiped about over tea.

“You don’t have the foresight.” Yun Xiaohuai already had a plan.

Xie Huixiu was puzzled as she couldn’t comprehend him at all.

“Look at Jiayue. She is barely sixteen and there are so many families who are well-matched with us and even those young masters whose wealth surpass ours are interested in her.” Even though Yun Xiaohuai didn’t have a son, this daughter alone had made him proud. “Don’t forget that Fanxing and Jiayue are twins. They look almost identical.”

Connections and networks were the most important factors when doing business.

He had sometimes regretted that he didn’t have more daughters like Jiayue. Then, if he were to rely solely on arranged marriages, he would be able to have his own empire.

Fanxing might be lacking in intelligence, but she looked exactly like Jiayue.

With Fanxing’s lack of intelligence, she would have a hard time getting a good match in the future.

If Jiayue were to get married first, Fanxing could perhaps be taken care of by one of Jiayue’s admirers instead. It would be good for Fanxing if that admirer transferred his admiration to her.

Yun Xiaohuai wasn’t being explicit.

What he wanted was for Jiayue to marry into a good family first. Then he could get one of her admirers to be a backup as Fanxing’s husband.

In that case, he would not only have a son-in-law… perhaps even two? Or more?

After all, Fanxing was a fool, and she wouldn’t know much about relationships. Perhaps she could have more than one man.

At the thought of this, Yun Xiaohuai blushed red. It was indeed quite despicable.

When Fanxing was still young, the Yun couple had sent her off to the village. Thus, Yun Jiayue had no recollection of her sister at all.

She had been treated as a precious and dainty princess from the day she was born. She had always thought that she was the only one in her daddy and mommy’s heart. But now, she suddenly had a younger sister?

Anxiety and unease struck Yun Jiayue.

“Brother Zizhuo, can you tell me why would I have a younger sister who appeared out of nowhere?”

Wei Zizhuo had grown up together with Yun Jiayue, and they were neighbors. Although Xie Huixiu had reminded Jiayue not to tell anyone about Fanxing, Brother Zizhuo wasn’t… an outsider.

Aunt Wei liked her very much, and she had always wanted her to be her daughter-in-law.

Wei Zizhuo was older than her by two years, and he had already taken the college entrance exams. Besides being accepted into a top institution, he was from an exceptional family and possessed good looks. He was gentle and polite, and everyone liked him.

Yun Jiayue was feeling distressed so Wei Zizhuo consoled her. “Jiayue, don’t be afraid. It’s just a sister.”

“But she is younger than me. What if Daddy and Mommy like her more than me?”

“If they like her more than you, why would they send her to the village?”

Although he had no idea why Uncle and Aunt would send their daughter to a remote village, he was sure that the reason wasn’t something good.
