The result extinguished Shen Mengyi's arrogance in an instant.
She stood there dazed for a moment before tears began to stream down her face.
"Since I'm not your biological child, I might as well leave," she said.
She ran out of the living room, but just as her foot was about to step into the rain, she hesitated and pulled back.
Her parents and brother hurried after her, blocking her way.
"Mengyi, even if you are not our biological child, you will always be our daughter."
"Don't stop me! Let me go!" she cried, attempting to leave again.
But once more, she was effortlessly pulled back.
She tried to leave again, only to be pulled back once more...
This back-and-forth was tedious. I spoke up indifferently, "Stop pretending; it's pathetic!"
My simple words seemed to strike a nerve with Shen Mengyi. She shot me a fierce glare. "I'm not pretending! I'm leaving right now!"
With that, she gritted her teeth and resolutely dashed into the rain.
In the next moment.
Thunder rumbled as lightning struck Shen Mengyi.
The blinding light faded away.
The once delicate Shen Mengyi had turned into a dark, charred figure.
With every breath she took, thick smoke billowed from her nostrils.
She looked just like a roasted chicken freshly dug out of the ground.
I couldn't help but chuckle.
After cultivating for a thousand years, my emotional fluctuations were minimal.
For someone to make me laugh so heartily, I had to admit that Shen Mengyi was quite the talent.
My laughter snapped everyone back to reality.
As Shen Mengyi's body slumped towards the ground, her parents and brother rushed to catch her.
"Steward, hurry! Call a doctor!"
Half an hour later, the family doctor conducted a thorough examination of Shen Mengyi.
"The young lady's health is fine, but..." the doctor hesitated.
"But what?" My Mom asked, her face filled with anxiety.
"Well, some parts of her skin have been burned," the doctor finally admitted.
"Like what?"
"Like... her hair."
The doctor put on a pair of disposable gloves and rubbed his hands over the top of Shen Mengyi's head.
In just a few moments, he revealed a completely bald head.
Compared to her dark body, that bald head looked particularly clean.
It seemed even more comical.
Standing at the doorway of Shen Mengyi's bedroom, I couldn't help but smirk.
My brother could no longer hold back his laughter. However, it wasn't appropriate to laugh in front of Shen Mengyi, so he dashed out and stood beside me, laughing heartily.
At that moment, Shen Mengyi slowly regained consciousness.
Noticing everyone staring at her head, she picked up a mirror.
With a loud wail, Shen Mengyi burst into tears.
"It's okay, Mengyi. Even though your hair is gone now, it will grow back in the future."
"That's right! As long as we're healthy, that's what matters."
Her parents comforted Shen Mengyi.
The more they tried to console her, the more heartbroken she became.
"Get out! All of you, just go!"
Fearing that they might upset Shen Mengyi further, everyone stepped outside.
Seeing me standing at the door, her parents looked at me with guilt in their eyes, as if they realized they had been so focused on Shen Mengyi that they had overlooked me.
"You must be exhausted from your journey back. Let me take you out for a meal and then help you tidy up your room, okay?" My mom's voice was particularly gentle.
I wasn't tired or hungry, but for some reason, I didn't want to refuse her gaze.
So I nodded.
My mom accompanied me for dinner, and after we finished eating, she led me upstairs.
The room assigned to me is directly across from Shen Mengyi's.
It used to be my brother's room, but now it's been vacated for me.
My brother has moved to the guest room.
The black and white color scheme of the room clearly reflects a masculine style, yet my dad and brother somehow found a few pink throw pillows that clash with the black and gray sofa.
Seeing me standing at the door without entering, they quickly spoke up: "Ning Ning, just make do with this room for today. Tomorrow, I'll have someone change the soft furnishings in here, okay?"
"No need to go through all that trouble; I can stay in the guest room," I replied, which was the real reason I hadn’t gone in.
"That won't do," my dad said disapprovingly.
My brother firmly grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.
I almost pushed him away, as I dislike being touched by others, but his next words made me hold back.
"I can stay anywhere, but my sister deserves the best."
