C12 Personality

Wei Dongcheng looked at Wei Ya and felt a chill of fear. How could the daughter he had raised for 18 years have such a nature? He never knew. Grabbing Wei Ya by the collar, he slapped her hard. "Are you out of your mind? That's your sister! If you keep this up, you won't live with the family anymore. You can go back to your biological mother!"

Hearing Dongcheng's words, Wei Ya finally calmed down, muttering to herself in the car, "No, no, Dad, I don't want to go to that woman's house. I'm your daughter. You can't abandon me."

Seeing that Wei Ya had regained some clarity, Dongcheng sighed deeply but didn't respond to her plea. Instead, he turned to Wei Tiantian. "Tiantian, how are you doing now?"

Wei Tiantian coughed a few times, her face still flushed, and shook her head to show she was okay.

Relieved that Tiantian was alright, Dongcheng felt grateful he had brought her home. She was truly part of the family, unlike Wei Ya, who, in her madness, even frightened him.

"Wei Ya, if you want to stay with the family, you need to behave and follow the rules. I'll still treat you as my own daughter. But if you refuse to do right, I won't let you stay," Dongcheng said earnestly to Wei Ya.

Wei Ya harbored secret plans that she couldn't let Wei Dongcheng discover. Given the chance, she was determined to overthrow the entire Wei family, which was her true intention. Yet, outwardly, she said, "Sure, Dad, I'll definitely listen to you from now on."

Wei Tiantian caught a glimpse of Wei Ya out of the corner of her eye and could easily guess that Wei Ya's thoughts didn't match her words. It seemed Wei Ya was ready to strike back, and Tiantian could sense the game was about to begin.

Back home, Wei Dongcheng and their mother continued to lecture Wei Ya as usual. Meanwhile, Wei Sucheng clenched his fists upon noticing the love marks on Wei Ya's neck. Tiantian watched the family drama unfold from upstairs.

At least for now, she had the upper hand. With her cheat system, she could turn any situation to her advantage, so she wasn't worried at all.

[Talk to Wei Sucheng for five minutes, earn 10 merit points. Completing this task is optional, with no penalty for skipping it.]

The system suddenly presented this message, indicating it was an easy opportunity to earn points if she chose to take it. Naturally, Tiantian decided to accept the task. After all, she had spent a lot of merit points dealing with Ning Zitao today, and she needed to earn them back.

As Wei Sucheng was heading to his room, he passed by Tiantian's door. She seized the moment and stopped him in his tracks.

"Hey, do you have a minute? I want to talk to you."

Chapter Nine

Sucheng looked at Tiantian with a puzzled expression, unsure of what she was thinking or why she was asking him this. He replied, "What do you want to talk about? You can just say it here."

"Let's chat in my room. We're siblings, after all, and we should have some sibling time, right?" Tiantian said playfully.

Sucheng really didn't feel like talking to Tiantian right now, but because he was already feeling annoyed and had some resentment towards Ya, he eventually nodded and said, "Alright."

Once they were in the room, silence fell between them. Tiantian felt awkward since she was the one who had called Sucheng over, and now neither of them had anything to say.

"What do you want to talk about, huh?" Sucheng asked, noticing Tiantian's hesitation.

Finally, Tiantian spoke up, "Do you like Ya? Have you liked her for a long time? I feel like ever since her identity was revealed, your feelings for her have become more obvious."

Sucheng stood up angrily, "How do you know? How did you figure it out?"

"It's not important how I figured it out; what matters is that I know you like her. Brother, she's not a good woman. I'm telling you this because you're my brother, and I really don't want you getting involved with her, okay?" Tiantian earnestly advised Sucheng.

However, Sucheng looked skeptical. "I know what kind of woman Wei Ya is. I know everything that happened before today. It was that jerk, Zitao, who didn't give Wei Ya a proper commitment, which led to this situation. But Wei Ya has changed now. She said she won't see Zitao anymore and that she'll gradually become a better person. You don't need to worry about my affairs."

Sucheng's gaze at Tiantian was tinged with impatience.

Tiantian couldn't help but sigh. Sucheng was truly lovestruck, refusing to believe her words. Tiantian had witnessed in a past life how Sucheng was harmed by Wei Ya, and even in death, he was still thinking about her. What could she do?

She could only say that anyone siding with Wei Ya was her enemy, even if they were family.

"If you don't believe me, that's fine. Just don't expect her to appreciate your efforts. I'm telling you, Zitao is still in Wei Ya's heart, and she won't let go of him anytime soon. If you keep liking Wei Ya, it just means you're setting yourself up for disappointment," Tiantian said, her tone losing its earlier warmth.

Upon hearing this, Wei Sucheng merely let out a cold laugh. He couldn't muster any familial affection for this sister of his, not even the bare minimum of civility. "Don't think you're fooling anyone. You came to the family just to badmouth Wei Ya because you can't stand her success. Remember, you were raised by a woman of ill repute. Do you really think you have some noble lineage? Your adoptive mother ruined you."

Wei Tiantian was left speechless by his words. If this was how Wei Sucheng saw her, she had no desire to continue the conversation. Instead, she resolved to see him as an adversary, one she wouldn't hesitate to defeat. Even if it meant Wei Sucheng's downfall at her hands, she wouldn't bat an eye.

The thought of her eventual victory brought a smile to Wei Tiantian's face—a smile so unsettling that it made Wei Sucheng instinctively step back. He felt an inexplicable fear of his sister, a fear so intense it gave him goosebumps.
