The living room was brightly lit, and the bright light fell evenly on the girl's face.

She wore a black silk dress that accentuated her slender waist, revealing fair and radiant skin that was made even more beautiful by the soft lighting.

She sat quietly on the sofa chair, without initiating conversation with the other people in the living room.

The elders in the family had something to discuss and went to the study, so they weren't in the living room at the moment.

It's not that the younger generation of the Qin family dislikes Jiang Yue, but they find it difficult to treat her like a younger sister. These unruly individuals are all difficult little princesses to please outside.

At home, he wasn't exactly mild-mannered either.

They are all proud and arrogant, and they have seen many scheming women in situations where they are just putting on an act.

Everyone will do anything to climb the ladder.

You can develop a bond with a cat or dog after raising them for over ten years, let alone a little sister you've known since childhood.

They were somewhat upset and indignant on Qin Qin's behalf, feeling she had been so heartlessly kicked out of the house.

But after all, they are the younger generation, so they have no say and can't make any decisions.

Even if you have grievances, you have to endure them.

This dissatisfaction was enough for them to feel resentful towards Jiang Yue, the "intruder".

Rationally, we should sympathize with her for what she has gone through over the years.

Emotionally, they do indeed favor the younger sister they consider to be Qin Qin.

So even though the eldest brother, Leng Su, who was usually very serious, had spoken, these precious young masters, who were usually very obedient, were unwilling to take it seriously.

Of course, they wouldn't target Jiang Yue; no matter how indifferent they are, they are still related by blood.

But it's absolutely impossible for them to take care of her or play with her.

The group of people just happened to have enough cards for the table, but they didn't ask Jiang Yue if she wanted to play, and no one took the initiative to chat with her.

Ignoring her completely, I waited until most of the chips on the table had been distributed.

It seemed as if they had just remembered their younger sister, whom they had neglected on the sofa, "Jiang Yue."

The voice was gentle.

But it was a completely unfamiliar tone, with his full name and surname.

The princess was engrossed in a novel about a domineering CEO. Only when she heard her own name was she lazily raised her face. Her face, which seemed to be only the size of a palm, was exquisitely beautiful. Staring at her face for a long time made one's mind go haywire.

Her Highness frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled. "What?"

She and they were clearly separated by the Chu River and Han border.

They wouldn't call her by her name for no reason.

To be fair, the Qin family members all have good genes, so they are all good-looking, with handsome features, elegant demeanor, and a temperament that makes them seem like they are not ordinary people.

His every move exuded an air of nobility.

"Do you want to play cards?" They asked casually and politely, of course they weren't really inviting her, and they knew she didn't know how to play cards and had no interest in it.

I need to ask questions before I can report back.

As expected, Jiang Yue shook her head: "I can't."

"Then we won't force you."

"good."

Everyone continues with their own business.

Jiang Yue was engrossed in reading the novel about domineering CEOs, especially when she read about how the domineering CEO sent a private jet to chase after his runaway wife. She thought to herself, "It's so good to be rich."

She wants to do the same if she makes a lot of money in the future.

He flew a plane to catch the person she liked.

ah.

However, given her beauty and intelligence, she must have already achieved success in her career by then. Unless the man she set her sights on was blind, it's unlikely she would have run away.

Jiang Yue's eyes started to sting halfway through the movie.

My phone suddenly received a notification that I was overdue on my bill.

Jiang Yue then realized that she had forgotten to pay her phone bill. She never connected to Wi-Fi when she went online, always finding it too troublesome to enter the password.

I have to connect to Wi-Fi right now.

But I don't know the password.

then.

Jiang Yue had no choice but to go to the card table again. Her nominal cousins ​​were all good-looking, and they looked even more relaxed and carefree at the card table, their lazy postures resembling the dashing playboys in novels.

They spotted Jiang Yue as she walked over.

No one spoke up, and no one asked her what she wanted to do.

When she can no longer pretend and loses her composure, she starts trying to get closer to him.

Jiang Yue didn't call them "brother" and didn't know their names. She asked, "Do you know what the Wi-Fi password is?"

This question sounds very awkward to other people.

She's lived in this house for so long, why does she still need to ask these basic questions to relatives who only visit occasionally?

Even when trying to get close to someone, they weren't very clever.

A bit clumsy.

The group pretended not to hear, only slowly coming to their senses when she asked a second time.

"I don't know."

Three words: neither salty nor bland.

They drew a line well in terms of the distance between them.

Jiang Yue was already used to their cold attitude, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.

It was as if she was begging them.

Jiang Yue didn't need to use her phone. She turned on the TV in the living room and pulled out the palace drama she had watched countless times, starting to study it from the beginning.

I don't know if it's because the heating in the living room is on too high.

Jiang Yue was a little tired from work today. She leaned against the pillows on the sofa, her head slowly tilted down, and before she knew it, her face gently sank into the pillow, and she fell asleep.

When Qin Zhao finished his phone call and went downstairs, he saw her sleeping alone on the sofa pillows.

Her hair was spread out, and her little face was slightly flushed from sleeping.

There wasn't even a thin blanket on him.

On the side of the living room by the window, the people at the card table were playing very comfortably and leisurely.

While playing cards, Qin Ran replied to Qin Qin's messages with a smile on his face. Even though he lost money at the card table, he seemed to be in a good mood. He replied with a voice message: "Brother will come to see you another day."

After saying that, he put down his phone.

Qin Zhao narrowed his eyes, his gaze seemingly frozen. He took long strides, suppressing his anger, and on the surface, nothing was visible. He first covered Jiang Yue with a light blanket to prevent her from catching a cold.

The man's face was cold, his fingers pressing on the cards, his eyes like frost, his thin lips moved slightly, and his low voice sounded somewhat hoarse as he casually asked, "Is this how you take care of her?"

No one cares if someone falls asleep on the sofa.

They were having a great time, leaving her all alone.

Qin Ran didn't speak, and neither did his other younger brothers.

However, the smile on his face had vanished.

Silence solves nothing.

With a snap, Qin Zhao lit a cigarette with his lighter, but before he could even smoke it, he stubbed it out again, not caring that the person was asleep.

Anyone could see Qin Zhao's coldness and anger at this moment.

After waiting a while, Qin Ran said, "I asked, and she said she doesn't know how."

A cold smile curled at the corners of Qin Zhao's lips, his sarcasm overflowing: "She can't do it, so you can't teach her?"

Qin Ran remained silent.

There's nothing to explain.

Qin Ran put down the cards in his hand and said without changing his expression:

"Brother, I was careless for a moment and didn't notice she was asleep."

"You know, when we're playing cards, we don't have an extra pair of eyes to watch out for everything."

"next time…"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Zhao responded with a slap across the face, expressionless. "Shut up."
