Hi Reno,
The best way to return it is to just block the ball back. The ball will already have topspin on it so you don't need to lift it just hit through.

The ball may swing a bit , so it would be good to curve the racket with the swing and then a slight push if needed
Don't try to curve the swing though because you will start to play across the line of the ball. It s better to just push straight through the line of the ball and use the angle of your racket to counter the spin.
