In the mansion of the fifth branch, Lin Xiaoni's parents were left speechless after hearing the news she brought.
Her mother, Xiao Mi, covered her mouth in shock. "She really announced it to the whole school?" she asked again to confirm.
"She didn't announce it directly. It was the principal—no, the entire school—who congratulated them. Look, this is from the forum." Lin Xiaoni showed her parents the saved screenshots on her phone.
"The twins know about it too. Everyone at school knows," Lin Xiaoni added.
Xiao Mi pondered deeply. "...But the fourth branch didn't mention anything at the last family dinner. Knowing Li Mei, she would seize this opportunity. So why are they staying silent?"
Xiao Mi thought of the last family dinner. They had thrown quite a few hints for the fourth branch to join in throwing slanders at the third branch. But they ignored it as if they weren't hearing anything. The fourth branch had been acting strange since then, too.
