The next day, when Yuan Jiang woke up, Gou Dan was already awake, lying lazily on the quilt licking his fur. When he heard Yuan Jiang call him, he tilted his head and turned around, looking at her curiously with his big emerald eyes.
Yuan Jiang rushed over and hugged Gou Dan, ruffling his hair with both hands, and said with a playful smile, "Oh! Gou Dan, why are you up so early? Kisses~"
She gave the cat's head a random kiss.
Dog Egg's cat ears stiffened and stood up, the tips of his ears turning crimson. His eyes stared intently at Yuan Jiang, and he nervously licked his lips with his scarlet tongue.
"It's the weekend today, so I'll stay home with you." Yuan Jiang let go of Gou Dan, got out of bed barefoot, and went into the bathroom to wash up. She had a habit of taking two showers a day, once in the morning and once before going to bed at night, regardless of the season.
Dog Egg squatted at the bathroom door, listening to the pattering water, its cat tail tightly curled into a ball.
After taking a shower, Yuan Jiang casually picked out a pink halter-neck tulip dress to wear, went downstairs with her bare face and carrying the well-behaved and docile dog, Gou Dan.
"Jiang Jiang, are you up?" Liu Yun was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast when she heard the noise on the stairs. She turned her head and saw Yuan Jiang. She immediately showed a loving smile.
Yuan Jiang walked over lazily and sat down next to Liu Yun: "Mmm."
"A bowl of bird's nest soup is good for your skin." Liu Yun poured a cup and handed it to Yuan Jiang. "There's also matsutake mushroom and chicken porridge made by Aunt Wang. It tastes amazing. She went back to her hometown to visit relatives a while ago and just got back yesterday. You'll be in for a treat from now on."
Liu Yun smiled and tapped Yuan Jiang's nose. Wang Ma was her hired nanny who had been taking care of her for nearly thirty years. Her cooking was top-notch, even better than that of a Michelin-starred chef!
"Wang Ma! You're back!" Yuan Weirou rushed down from the second floor like a butterfly, plopped down next to Liu Yun, and looked at Wang Ma with bright eyes, unable to stop the joyful smile on her face.
Wang Ma can be considered Liu Yun's half-mother. Liu Yun often asks Wang Ma for advice when she can't make a decision. If she can get Wang Ma to speak well of her in front of Liu Yun, Liu Yun might remember their eighteen-year mother-daughter relationship!
A glint of light flashed in Yuan Weirou's eyes.
"Madam, Miss, the porridge is here!" Wang Ma brought out the matsutake mushroom and chicken porridge from the kitchen with a smile. She first served a bowl to Liu Yun, then to Yuan Jiang, and finally to Yuan Weirou. Seeing the calculating glint in Yuan Weirou's eyes, her smile faded slightly: "Miss Weirou, I'm back."
Yuan Weirou was so engrossed in her joy that she didn't notice Wang Ma's coldness. Instead, she enthusiastically suggested, "Mom, Wang Ma is finally back. Why don't we book a private room for dinner tonight to welcome her back?"
Liu Yun glanced coldly at Yuan Weirou, then smiled at Wang Ma: "Weirou made a good suggestion. Wang Ma, you've finally come back. Let's go out and have some fun tonight."
Wang Ma waved her hand with a smile: "How could I trouble you, Madam? I'm very happy to receive the salary you give me!"
“But Madam, Miss just got back, and you haven’t had a chance to go shopping with her yet. How about we go out for a stroll this afternoon?” Even though she was far away in the countryside, Wang Ma knew about the fake heiress in the Yuan family. She wasn’t someone who couldn’t see things clearly. In her eyes, Liu Yun was not only her employer, but also her half-child.
She knew better than anyone how much Liu Yun loved her child, and after this incident, she was afraid that Liu Yun might do something rash! She called Liu Yun many times to comfort her during this time!
In her opinion, whoever's biological child it is, they should love them. Look at Yuan Weirou, who is cared for by Liu Yun as if she were her own daughter, and has delicate skin. Then look at Miss Yuan Jiang, who was harshly beaten by her adoptive mother since she was a child! Isn't it because her adoptive mother knew that Miss Yuan Jiang was not her biological daughter?
Yuan Weirou's favor is entirely based on her being Liu Yun's biological daughter. If she weren't, then she wouldn't deserve this love!
Wang Ma is very clear-headed; Miss Yuan Jiang is the true eldest daughter of the Yuan family!
"Wang Ma, do you even respect me?!" Yuan Weirou, who had been ignored time and time again, suddenly reddened her eyes with grievance, bit her lip, and glared at Wang Ma with a face full of accusation.
She clearly meant well by suggesting a welcome dinner for Wang Ma, and instead of being grateful, why did she insist on having her mother take Yuan Jiang out to play?!
"Miss Wei Rou, of course I take you seriously." Wang Ma smiled insincerely. She used to think that Yuan Wei Rou was just ordinary-looking and did not inherit the looks of the master and mistress. Heh, actually she is not their biological daughter at all.
After saying that, Wang Ma smiled and asked Yuan Jiang, "Miss, what do you think of this porridge?"
"Madam loves this porridge, but I don't know your taste yet. You can tell me more about your eating habits so I can take better care of you in the future."
Liu Yun chimed in, "Jiang Jiang, you should tell Wang Ma right away."
"This porridge is delicious!" Yuan Jiang's fox-like eyes sparkled. She had already drunk most of the porridge in her bowl. After thinking seriously for a moment, she said, "I like to eat meat! I like all kinds of meat!"
"Ha, only the lowest of the low would think about eating meat!" Yuan Weirou, who had been ignored repeatedly, was filled with resentment. Hearing this, she couldn't help but raise her lips in a sarcastic tone.
