After Transmigrating into a Cannon Fodder Real Daughter, the Plot Changes

Chapter 92 Part 1 – Use Jiang Ruo to Threaten Bai Guolin (I)

Tong Youyou’s serious expression amused her father, making him chuckle as he drove. “If your big brother still doesn’t understand, keep teaching him. If you explain it enough times, he’ll eventually get it.”

Tong Youyou sighed, “That sounds like a lot of work. Second Brother never needs anyone to teach him.”

Hearing this, Tong Bingran couldn’t help but frown. He said earnestly, “Youyou, remember that your brother is the one who shares the same parents as you. Your Second Brother…”

“Second Brother and I don’t have the same parents—I know that, Dad. You’ve told me many times,” Tong Youyou replied, pouting and looking a bit displeased.

As she grew older and her parents repeatedly reminded her, she understood her brother was closer to her than her Second Brother. However, Youyou still liked Second Brother more. Even though he didn’t always say the nicest things, he was a good person, and she had long realized he was just a bit tsundere.

Tong Xu, who didn’t like being compared to Tong Yi, quickly changed the subject. “Dad, Jiang Li mentioned today that the Feng family is also going to throw her a graduation banquet.”

Tong Youyou immediately raised her hand. “Sister told me that! She said she would send me an invitation, and I’m definitely going.”

Tong Bingran couldn’t resist teasing her. “And if we don’t attend, will you go by yourself?”

Without hesitation, Tong Youyou nodded. “Second Brother will definitely go, so I’ll go with him.”

Tong Bingran: “…”

His daughter was indeed smarter than most kids, but she was also quite strong-willed. No matter how many times he had told her to keep her distance from Tong Yi, she still did as she pleased.

Tong Bingran decided to hold off on giving her more advice for now. Otherwise, it might trigger a rebellious response, which would be counterproductive.

Fortunately, despite Tong Yi’s erratic behavior, the boy was still good to Youyou. The family’s servant had mentioned that whenever Youyou struggled with her homework, she would bring her workbook to Tong Yi, who, though often appearing impatient, always took the time to help her. That was the stark contrast with his attitude toward Tong Bingran and Tong Xu. Perhaps due to his delinquent reputation, he didn’t care about what others thought of him and treated his uncle with the same disregard as he did everyone else.

Recently, Tong Bingran had begun to regret some of the things he had done to Tong Yi. After his younger brother and sister-in-law were killed by kidnappers, his nephew became an orphan overnight. His mother couldn’t bear the pain of losing her son and passed away within a month, and his father also fell gravely ill soon after.

When the late patriarch of the Tong family was on his deathbed, he requested Tong Bingran’s presence along with the family lawyer to discuss his will. At that time, the Tong family’s assets were all under his control and his original plan was to divide them among his three children. But with the second son gone, the plan was disrupted.

Tong Yi was still too young at that time, and the late patriarch didn’t feel comfortable leaving the family assets in the hands of a child. So he entrusted Tong Bingran to manage the assets on Tong Yi’s behalf until he turned twenty-five, at which point they would be returned to him.

Initially, Tong Bingran didn’t think much of it, but soon people began congratulating him, saying he had turned misfortune into a blessing by gaining control of the Tong family’s assets. Tong Bingran quickly refuted, “My father wasn’t someone who favored sons over daughters. My sister has obtained her share, and as for Tong Yi’s portion, I’m just managing it—I can’t consider it my own.”

But those around him just gave him knowing looks, saying, “Your sister is backed by the Feng family, so her share is indeed untouchable. But Tong Yi is just a child—whatever you want to do with him is entirely up to you.”

Tong Bingran laughed it off, “Nonsense! That’s my nephew—how could I treat him like that? You should stop making such jokes.”

The man immediately responded, “I’m saying this for your own good. The Tong family has always been a giant in the industry, but when Tong Yi comes of age and demands his share, the family could be torn apart. Aren’t you worried about that?”
