When Zhang Huahan was approaching the Champs Elysées, he was suddenly stopped by Miss Zhang who was chasing after her.

"Fifth sister, my father is back and wants us to have dinner in the main courtyard together at noon today."

Zhang Huahan said "Oh" and nodded to show that he understood...

Seeing her lackluster reaction, Miss Zhang was a little depressed. Thinking of the conversation between her father and her grandmother last night, she wanted to have more contact with her half-sister. However, Zhang Huahan's distant attitude made her not know how to speak.

Zhang Huahan saw Miss Zhang standing still and asked, "Sister, is there anything else?"

Miss Zhang smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing wrong, it's just that I don't have much contact with my fifth sister. Now that I'm getting married, I want to get closer to my sister, so as not to get married and my fifth sister will directly treat me."

Forgot."

Zhang Huahan was really surprised now. Just now in her grandmother's house, her eldest sister had shown her kindness, and now she said such touching words to her!

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

This is what Zhang Huahan personally summed up when he grew up. The eldest sister usually treats her with cold eyebrows, right? But it is definitely not close to her. If it happens like this now, there is definitely a problem.

Seeing that Zhang Huahan didn't answer and looked at her warily, Miss Zhang felt a little upset and felt a little regretful in her heart.

Her mother died young, and it was certain that her father would remarry. Since she was destined to have a stepmother, she should have accepted it early, so that she would not be so hostile to her fifth sister.

Miss Zhang knew that the relationship between her and Zhang Huahan could not be repaired in an instant, so she did not pester her: "Fifth sister, I will go back first and see you in the main courtyard at noon."

Zhang Huahan nodded and watched Miss Zhang leave.

When no one could see it anymore, Caiwei said in confusion: "Why does the big girl feel so weird today?"

Zhang Huahan's eyes moved slightly. Over the years, she has finally understood that the Zhang family can't afford to start early without benefit. The eldest sister's show of kindness is just to get benefits from her.

But...what is there worth remembering about her?

Zhang Huahan shook his head and stepped into the Champs Elysées.

......

On the other side, Miss Zhang did not go back to her yard, but went straight to the main courtyard.

On the way, the maid was a little unhappy: "Girl, the attitude of the fifth girl just now was too cold."

Miss Zhang's expression was indifferent: "I don't have much contact with her, so it's understandable that she is a little alienated from me. If we have more contact with each other in the future, things will be fine."

Hearing this, the maid became more and more confused. She didn't understand why her own girl suddenly got close to the fifth girl.

Why?

Of course it’s because of the Yan family behind the stepmother!

Miss Zhang was a little distracted. She had always known that her stepmother's natal family was somewhat powerful, otherwise her grandmother and father would not tolerate her stepmother so much.

However, she never knew that she could be so prominent!

The marriage arranged by her father was very good, and she was the eldest son of the magistrate's family in the next county.

With her background, she was really satisfied to be able to marry a member of an official family.

She originally thought that the reason why this marriage was possible was because of the wealth of the Zhang family, but after eavesdropping on the conversation between her grandmother and her father last night, she realized that the reason why her marriage was possible was not because of the Zhang family, but because her stepmother was behind the scenes.

The Yan family.

The last time my father went to the provincial capital, he learned the news that his stepmother's biological brother would be transferred to the provincial capital next year to serve as chief envoy.

Chief envoy, this is a second-rank official, the highest official in the province!

She knew that her stepmother had a good family background, but she never expected that she would be so ridiculously powerful.

The county magistrate was only a seventh-rank official, so she was already satisfied to marry into such a family. She never thought that suddenly, she was told that their family was actually related to a second-rank official. She had the illusion of being struck by lightning.

No wonder a grandmother as strong as her can only choose to tolerate and compromise when facing her stepmother.

With such a natal family as a backer, it would be no problem for the stepmother to walk sideways in the Zhang family.

Miss Zhang looked a little dazed. The fact that the Zhang family became the richest man in Qingshi County and that she came into the eyes of the county magistrate was all because of her stepmother and the Yan family behind her stepmother.

The stepmother has a weird temperament. She is obviously the head of the Zhang family, but she ignores everything about the Zhang family.

She was also extremely repulsive towards her father. She remembered that when she was a child, whenever her father went to her stepmother's yard, she would be kicked out by her stepmother.

She was shocked at that time, no, she is still shocked now.

From ancient times to the present, which family has not regarded the husband as the top priority, but when it comes to stepmother, it is exactly the opposite.

Faced with his stepmother, his father was the one who acted like a child.

She was very confused about this before, but now she seems to understand.

For the Yan family to be able to produce a second-grade official, it is conceivable that the family background must be high. Such a girl is definitely not something that her father, who is a merchant, can reach high.

She didn't know why her stepmother married her father, but she understood that her stepmother absolutely didn't like her father, otherwise, she wouldn't be so indifferent to her own daughter.

The stepmother has a deep contempt for the Zhang family, so she naturally ignores everything about the Zhang family, including the fifth sister who is of Zhang family blood.

At this moment, she really didn't know whether to envy the fifth sister or sympathize with her.

When they were approaching the main courtyard, Miss Zhang calmed down. No matter what, it was imperative to make good friends with the fifth sister. Let’s wait and see about the rest.

......

Noon arrived quickly, and Zhang Huahan came to the main courtyard on time.

At this time, Miss Zhang and her biological brother, Uncle Zhang, have arrived. They are both the original wives of Mr. Zhang, and they are most valued by Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang.

"The fifth sister is here!"

Uncle Zhang smiled and said hello to Zhang Huahan.

Zhang Huahan smiled and blessed his body: "Brother!"

Although the rules of a merchant's home are not as strict as those of an official's home, most of the men walk in the front yard, so there is little interaction between the Zhang family uncle and Zhang Huahan.

If there is no intersection, there will naturally be no contradiction.

The uncle of the Zhang family is now taking over the family business, and he is also tactful. He always smiles when he gets along with others. He gets along quite well with Zhang Huahan, and they are polite every time they meet.

The three brothers and sisters said hello, and soon Mr. Zhang arrived.

After Mr. Zhang entered the room, he first looked at Zhang Huahan. Looking at his daughter, he couldn't help but feel a surge of complicated emotions in his heart.

He used dishonorable means to marry Yan Yile, but he really wanted to live a good life with her. When they first got married, he tried his best to please her.

It's a pity that Yan Yile has such an arrogant temper that she didn't give him a good look even after giving birth to a daughter.

"Everyone, sit down!"

Everyone sat down one by one, and then the servants began to serve the dishes.

Zhang Huahan ate the food in front of him in an orderly manner, listening to Mr. Zhang and his eldest brother and eldest sister talking and laughing. His face was calm, but his heart was extremely bitter.

There were only four of them at the table, but she felt that the other three were a family, and she was just an outsider.

She had this feeling when she was very young.

Suddenly, a chicken leg was caught in Zhang Huahan's bowl.

Zhang Huahan looked up and found that Mr. Zhang had pinched it for her.

Mr. Zhang smiled and looked at Zhang Huahan: "The braised chicken legs made by Feng Ma are very delicious. Your elder brother and elder sister all like it very much. You should try it too."

Faced with her father's sudden concern, Zhang Huahan didn't feel happy at all. Thinking of her eldest sister's sudden show of kindness to her today, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that something must have happened that she didn't know about.

To be able to make her father and eldest sister change their attitudes towards her at the same time must not be a small matter, no, it should be said that it must be of great benefit to them.

How can she be used?

Suddenly, Zhang Huahan thought of her mother's natal family - the Yan family!

Could it be that the Yan family contacted their mother?

Thinking of this, Zhang Huahan felt a surge of anger in his heart. He put the chicken legs on the side of the dish with an expressionless face, and then looked at Mr. Zhang: "Father, my eldest brother and sister like to eat it, but I haven't liked chicken since I was a child.

”

Mr. Zhang looked blank for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed.

He has indeed been neglectful of this daughter, and has never understood her preferences.

Mr. Zhang calmed down for a moment and asked with a smile: "What do you like to eat? Will my father ask the kitchen to cook it for you next time?"

Zhang Huahan looked at the amiable father in front of him and suddenly felt extremely boring.

When she was a child, she might have expected her father's love, but at this moment, she didn't want his father's love at all.

It makes sense why people don’t like businessmen. Businessmen are too good at pursuing profits!

"Father, let's take care of it."
