Yan Xi was unconcerned. She didn't mind, as she wouldn't be spending her own money.
She didn't see anything shameful in her situation; after all, it was Tong Rao's doing. Had she grown up in a privileged family and received the best education from a young age, she could be as accomplished as Gu Yang and others.
Upon returning to the Tong family, Yan Xi did not receive a special introduction or banquet. Tong Rao felt that such an event would only highlight Yan Xi's shortcomings in comparison to Tong Wan's daughter. She preferred not to hold a banquet that would invite such comparisons.
Instead, Tong Rao promptly arranged for Yan Xi's household register to be moved to the Tong family, changing her name to Tong Yanxi.
Yan Xi took full advantage of her new status, asking Tong Rao for money to support her adoptive parents, transfer her adoptive father to the best hospital, and secure a renowned doctor for his treatment—all while expressing gratitude for raising him.
