A Battle of Wits Over Family Ties: My Parents Bid for the Right to Give Me Their Surname

Jiang Shiyue is a master of sharp comebacks, the undisputed queen of roasting people.

After the Jiang family lost her for twenty-one years, she learned to protect herself with a coat of thorns. Just when she'd finally made it through, her biological parents came looking for her.

Her biological father is the chairman of Yuheng Group, and her biological mother is the wife of the chairman of Fanxing Group. The moment they met, the two started bickering, neither willing to back down.

They had barely welcomed her back into their wealthy family before they were already arguing over which surname she would take.

Su Mengjie asked, "Bei'er, whose surname do you want?"

Jiang Shiyue replied, "Mom, you're putting me in a tough spot. How about whoever offers more gets to choose my surname?"

Jiang Shiyue secretly laughed to herself. Hehe, this is the perfect chance to sit back and reap the rewards!

A villa, a prime storefront, shares in a jewelry company: her parents kept raising their bids.

When her stepsister made a snide comment about her never having eaten strawberries, she fired right back.

When a rich socialite mocked her for looking shabby, she crushed her on the spot.

Her parents competed to make it up to her, while her biological brother secretly schemed to get her shares. She played them all against each other as money poured in.

When she visited her maternal grandparents, she hit it off with Pei Yihan, a frail and shy little girl. The child became incredibly attached to her.

Pei Jingchuan, the head of Hongsheng Group, was initially just grateful that she was willing to look after his niece.

But after spending more time with her, he realized she wasn't just gentle on the outside. She was tough at heart, sharp-tongued and not to be trifled with, with clear principles and a shrewd mind. Anyone who crossed her would pay for it. Her wits and skills were every bit his match.

The more he saw of her, the more he fell for her, and he took the initiative to pursue her.

When Jiang Shiyue finally agreed, Pei Yihan jumped for joy and thumped her chest as she shouted, "My cousin-aunt is going to be my little aunt by marriage! I'm the matchmaker!"
