He ordered takeout, and then, without changing his haughty demeanor, said, "Going home."

"Is there something you need?" Song Yan finally asked in a softer tone.

Ruan Tang lowered her head: "I've thought about what you told me that day. But... tomorrow is my birthday, and Dad isn't feeling well. Could you... spend it with me this one time?"

...

The Jiang family.

Jiang Fei sat in the living room, waiting for her father and Aunt Wen.

They've been back from their business trip for a while, but they have other things to do tonight.

"Did Song Yan agree?" Jiang Fei asked in his mind.

[System: Purchasing the "Walls Have Ears" skill requires 100,000 Spirit Coins...]

"purchase."

[System: Agreed.]

Good.

Jiang Fei smiled.

There was a sound coming from outside the door.

Jiang Fei stood up and had just reached the door when her father came in first. He paused for a moment when he saw her, then smiled and gave her a hug: "Jiang Jiang, how about Dad introduces you to Aunt Wen's family later?"

Jiang Fei nodded.

“He won’t be staying here for now. Dad promises you, we’ll bring him over once you’ve gotten to know each other better.” Jiang Fei gently put his arm around her shoulder.

Jiang Fei also smiled.

She knew that Jiang Cuo still had custody of her father.

A short while later, Aunt Wen came in, followed by a pale-faced, thin boy.

The boy's eyes were like glass, transparent and pure. He even seemed a little timid when he entered the villa. His features were delicate, and his wispy bangs fell over his forehead, making his eyes look even cleaner and more beautiful, like stars.

An innocent, beautiful young man.

However, the -30 favorability rating above his head ruined this aesthetic.

“Jiang Jiang, this is Aunt Wen’s son, and also your younger brother, Xiao Cuo,” Jiang’s father introduced.

Jiang Fei smiled and stepped forward, extending her hand: "Hello, Xiao Cuo."

Jiang Cuo looked up at her, then timidly lowered his eyes and took her hand: "Sister."
