Back home, as expected, I had to face Yu Wan's and Qi Mingxi's cold expressions again, but Qi Jun's attitude towards me has improved.

But I don't care. As soon as I got home, I went straight to Qi Mingxi's room, completely ignoring Yu Wan's obstruction and Qi Jun's confusion. With a "slap," I slammed the door open and sneered at Qi Mingxi, "You can't compete with me openly and honestly, so you have to make some secret moves, right?!"

"What are you talking about, Qi An?!" His chubby face turned red, and he stood up taller than me. Yu Wan hurriedly entered and shielded Qi Mingxi behind her, shouting, "Qi Jun, come and see, your daughter is rebelling!"

I raised my eyebrows and coldly smiled. I wanted to make a bet this time, whether Qi Jun values me more or values his son more.

I lost.

Even though I showed him the surveillance videos and answer sheets, Qi Jun just wanted to downplay the matter. Looking at his questioning gaze, he calmly pulled me out, closed the door, and sighed, "Xiao An, your father knows he has wronged you in many ways."

I didn't respond, just looked at him coldly.

"But there are many things your father can't change. Mingxi is a boy, and your father will definitely pass the family business to him. As his older sister, you should take the initiative to help and support him, instead of making a scene over trivial matters. If I may be blunt, once your father is no longer here, won't you have to rely on Mingxi for your livelihood? Without support from your natal family, you will also struggle in your husband's family, and there is also..."

I looked calmly at my biological father in front of me, suddenly remembering the scene when I was pregnant in my past life.

"Qi An, I don't want to say more than necessary. If you still recognize me as your father, you should make sacrifices for the family. Otherwise, I won't acknowledge you as my daughter with no self-restraint!"

The Qi Jun in my memory looked down on me, while the Qi Jun now patiently tries to persuade me. But their ultimate goal is the same, to turn me into a mere pawn.

I laughed recklessly, wondering how Qi Jun managed to reach his current position with all his feudal remnants.

I lost the gamble, and I smiled at Qi Jun.

"Alright, Father."

After winter break, the spring atmosphere gradually adorned every corner of Mingli High School. But the students in the third year of high school had no mood to appreciate it. The decreasing numbers of the teaching building were their greatest enemies.

The frequency of exams became more and more intense, from monthly exams to weekly exams, and then to exams every three days. Although I had already experienced this in my previous life, I still found it a bit overwhelming. For example, in the recent exam, Su Zhuo took the first place.

Su Zhuo's chubby face was filled with a pleasantly surprised expression, "I never expected to stand on the same level as An Jie. I am truly honored."

I redid the last difficult math problem. There was no other choice. I had actually slept through lunch on the day of the exam. When I woke up, I was still groggy, but I managed to hold on until the last problem. I was amazed at myself.

I laughed and joked with Su Zhuo, not caring about my ranking this time. But I didn't need to pay much attention either, as Qi Mingxi had been slipping recently.

What's more concerning was Yan Yi, who had even fallen to the bottom ten in our class.

This gave me a sense of unease, especially since Yan Yi had been approaching me for no reason lately.

I had a few good relationships with female classmates in the class, although it was partly because of their academic achievements, we got along well.

Recently, one of them, Wei Tingting, privately said to me, "An An, does Yan Yi have feelings for you? I always feel something strange in his gaze when he looks at you."

Wei Tingting was a beauty, and in general, beauties have a keen intuition.
