Zhao Wanyu’s expression turned cold. “If you don’t know how to speak, then don’t say anything. What do you mean by a fake? Uncle Shen is a well-known figure in Yanjing. Do you think that he can’t even afford to buy a painting?”

Song Ning said disdainfully, “That’s right. You’re a village woman from the countryside. Do you know how to distinguish what’s genuine and what’s fake? Nonsense.”

Song Wei. “…”

How could she not recognize her oil painting?

She had painted “The Pillar That Propped up the Sky” on a whim. The real painting had always been kept in her storeroom in Liaoxi Village. However, there was a period last year when there was a lot of rain. The firewood in the house was damp and could not catch fire, so she took out the painting to start a fire.

The real painting had disappeared, so all the ones that remained in the world were fake.

Song Wei put her hands in her pockets and lazily leaned against the handrail of the stairs. “If you don’t believe me, then forget it.”

Song Ning rolled his eyes. “If you don’t understand anything, then don’t say anything. Otherwise, you’ll embarrass yourself. Mom and I will also be implicated and laughed at by others.”

The corners of Song Wei’s lips curled up, but she did not say anything.

Zhao Wanyu felt a little regretful for bringing Song Wei into the Shen family. This girl lacked experience but was bold to speak. Fortunately, Shen Congrong was not at home today. If he heard this, would he not be furious?

It seemed that Zhao Wanyu’s intuition back then was right. Song Wei was someone who could cause trouble and was completely useless. She was far inferior to Ningning, and they were worlds apart.

At this moment, a 15-year-old youth came down from the second floor. He was fair and clean, but the sense of superiority around him made people feel uncomfortable. He was probably Shen Bo, the son of Zhao Wanyu and Shen Congrong.

Zhao Wanyu saw him coming down the stairs, and her face was filled with a loving smile. “Lil’ Bo, come here quickly.”

Shen Bo walked over casually, and his disdainful gaze fell on Song Wei. “Did the nanny bring her daughter here?”

Song Ning almost laughed out loud at the side. Zhao Wanyu pulled Shen Bo’s hand and explained, “No, this is also your elder sister. Her name is Song Wei. She used to live in Liaoxi Village, but she will often come here in the future. You should get to know her too.”

Shen Bo was used to being proud. How could he acknowledge a country bumpkin as his elder sister? “I only have one elder sister named Song Ning. I don’t have an elder sister from the countryside who would lower my status.”

It seemed that everyone in the Shen family had the same temperament. They were too arrogant.

Zhao Wanyu thought that she had to at least put on a show, so she held Shen Bo’s hand. “How can you speak like this? Song Wei has always lived in the countryside, but she has a kind heart. She’s also my daughter. This is her first time coming to Yanjing, so you have to take care of her.”

Shen Bo sneered. “I refuse to admit her as my elder sister. Nowadays, anyone wants to be my elder sister.”

He despised Song Wei in every way, just like when nobody wanted her when she was young and kicked her around like a rubber ball. In the end, her parents chose to abandon her. Now that she had grown up, she was also despised by her half-brother…

Nevertheless, Song Wei was no longer the Song Wei of the past. She was no longer affected by this. She did not care about them, so naturally, she would not be hurt by their words.

Song Ning said hypocritically, “Hey, Lil’ Bo, don’t say that. Song Wei didn’t get to receive the same education in the countryside, so she doesn’t look presentable. Even so, no matter what, she’s still our blood relative.”

The phone in Song Wei’s pocket vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was a message from one of her disciples…

[Master, the professors at Harvard have been asking if you can become an honorary professor. You only need to give a speech once a semester. It won’t take up too much of your time.”

Song Wei typed on the phone. [I’m retired.]

She only wanted to enjoy her retirement and did not want to work as hard as before.

Shen Bo and the others were still saying, “I don’t care. In any case, I don’t have such an illiterate sister. And you… You country bumpkin from the countryside, don’t even think about climbing up to our family. You’re not worthy!”

Song Wei. “…”

She realized that she had made a mistake by choosing to leave Liaoxi Village with Zhao Wanyu and Song Ning.

“Sorry to bother you, I’ll be leaving first.”

After saying that, she turned around and walked out. Zhao Wanyu and Song Ning became anxious and chased after her out of the villa. “Lil’ Wei, don’t lower yourself to your younger brother’s level. He’s been spoiled. He doesn’t have a good sense of propriety, but he doesn’t have any ill intentions toward you.”

Song Ning added from the side, “Yeah, he’s just surprised that there are still people who haven’t finished high school these days. Besides… I heard that you were expelled from school because you got into a fight back then? What happened?”

Song Wei looked at Song Ning coldly with a fierce look in her eyes. Song Ning was so scared that she quickly shut her mouth. ‘This damn woman is so cold and unapproachable. I only said something unpleasant, and she already looks like she’s going to eat someone up. She’s so annoying.

‘How can a village woman from the countryside be so oppressive?’
